Vplyv banskej činnosti na skladbu koleopterocenóz lúčnych biotopov extravilánu miest Handlová a Partizánske (Trenčiansky kraj, Západné Slovensko)

Author(s): Radoslav Kvasničák,Terézia Straková / Language(s): Slovak / Issue: 1/2018

Keywords: Beetles; Mining; Heap; Meadow; Handlová; Partizánske;

The aim of the research is to determine the impact of the mining activity on both quantitative and qualitative representation of beetles in the town of Handlová and the control station without a mining influence in Partizánske (Trencin region, West Slovakia). In the mentioned cities, we have selected two meadow biotopes (A – heap, B – control) with different pedological and chemical composition and herbal vegetation. The coleopterological material was obtained during the vegetation period (April – October) in the year 2016 by the method of sweeping grasslands. We have obtained approximately 351 exemplars (ex.) of beetles. They belong to 62 different species (sp.) from 14 different families. We have recorded differences in the praticol beetles in habitat (A – heap, Handlová) affected by mining activity (151 ex.). The control site without mining influence (B – meadow, Partizánske) shows more number of individuals compared to site A (200 ex.). The species diversity with the succession of vegetation on a mining site (A – heap, Handlova) shows more species of beetles (41 sp.) than the control biotop (B – meadow) in Partizánske (32 sp.). The differences in the frequency and species diversity shows the cenotic characters and the seasonal dynamics of the beetle community and the chemical analysis of soil samples taken from the meadow sites (A – heap, B – control) affected by various mining activity.

Vodné hospodárstvo na Slovensku a v regióne dolného Liptova

Author(s): Ján Bednárik / Language(s): Slovak / Issue: 3/2017

Keywords: Water; UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO); Water supply; The joint-stock company Vodárenská spoločnosť Ružomberok (Water Company Ružomberok);

Water is a determining element of our being. Generally known "water is life" is well-founded. The largest water user on the planet is agriculture, followed by industry, and ultimately, the population. The UN is conscious of what water means to the humanity of this planet. Therefore, this area has been entrusted to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). In Slovakia, a substantial part of the population is supplied through 16 water companies. In Ružomberok district water supply is provided by the Water Company Ružomberok. At present, the lower Liptov region is rich in quality groundwater and its reserves are still sufficient. Nevertheless, we cannot just stay at this conclusion. We must learn how to use water economically and appreciate it as a precious treasure that we have received as a gift and thanks to it we can live here.

It is necessary to motivate young people to help without reward or recognition, to promote solidarity that is beneficial for the development and operation of today's society. We point out the motivation for volunteering among young people in Slovakia.

Porovnanie žiackych predstáv o lúčnom ekosystéme v obsahovom štandarde predmetu biológia (ISCED 2) v súčasnosti a pred zavedením školskej reformy na Slovensku

Author(s): Radoslav Kvasničák / Language(s): Slovak / Issue: 2/2020

Keywords: School reform; Primary school; Pupil; Ideas; Ecosystem of the meadow;

The aim of the research was to analyze the level of pupils' ideas about ecosystem of the meadow discussed in textbooks of biology before schol reform in Slovakia (year: 2004/2005) and compare to the ecosystem approach of science education at present (year: 2017/2018). When comparing pupils ideas about ecosystem, projective techniques were used in the research groups (712 respondents), using a high-reliability pupil drawing method (Cronbach'salpha 0.7047). In general, we can find a low level of acquired species nomenclature of animals of the meadow ecosystem, with pre-reform time of pupils on average more successful (25%) than at present (21%). In our findings we have a very low understanding of food relations in the ecosystem (5-10%) among pupils of primary school compared to the pre-reform period (61%). According to the present results on ecosystems in the current school system were commend in the future to integrate into the classic teaching of the elements of non-formal science education on the characteristics of the meadow ecosystems in the context of the natural environment directly on the schoolland in the primary school.

Preventivní vězeňský program zacházení u kněží Jana Boska a Františka Řezáče

Author(s): René Strouhal / Language(s): Czech / Issue: 2/2021

Keywords: Penitentiaristics; Treatment programs; Resocialization; Prison; Prison chaplains;

The purpose of imprisonment in a prison is not only to imprisonment itself, as it was mostly accepted by the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, but its more important goal is to motivate prisoners to moral integrity and reintegration in the post-release phase of execution of punishment. So-called treatment programs aim to achieve this. Thanks not only to the biological, psychological or social nature of man, but also to his spiritual nature, the Church's contribution to the recovery of society is its resocialization activity in prisons. We find stimulating impulses in the prison activity of the Italian priest Jan Bosko and the Czech clergyman František Řezáč. After comparing the wazy of resocialization of prisoners in both pioneers from the ranks of priests, research follws on the acceptance of such resocialization of respondents.

E-learning ako komunikačná situácia s potenciálom a limitmi: názory a skúsenosti vysokoškolákov

Author(s): Pavol Rankov / Language(s): Slovak / Issue: 2/2023

Keywords: E-learning; Student discourse; Interpersonal communication; Qualitative research; University students

Student discourse on e-learning was investigated in six separate research studies from autumn 2020 to summer 2022. Udes qualitative methods were authobiografical retrospective essay, structured interview and questionnaire with open questions. The respondents were Slovak and Czech university students. The corpus of text data was evaluated by discourse analysis. Most students find e-learning more demanding than face-to-face education in terms of concentration and fatigue. The home environment gives students distraction and the computer is a multitasking medium. E-learning does not sufficiently support interactive communication with feedback between teachers and students, but it is also not a sufficient platform for effective communication between students. Direct interpersonal communication is important for building informal student relationships that support a creative atmosphere in the student group. Most respondents prefer face-to-face education, but with the advantages of online technologies, e.g. in case of illness or for dissemination of study materials.
