Student empowerment as an outcome of outdoor environmental education programs is connected with the question of who has control over these programs. In this chapter, we analyze how power is distributed among program designers, leaders, participating students, and accompanying teachers. We show that no model of dealing with the dynamic relationships among these program stakeholders can be considered wrong per se but that each brings with it particular implications for the other aspects of program design and implementation.

Should or shouldn’t outdoor environmental education programs promote particular values? This chapter focuses on the tension between trying to avoid manipulation and trying to pursue the aims of environmental education. We summarize the discussion of values in environmental education and outline Schwartz’s theory of universal values, then we analyze what program leaders think about values and how they deal with the issue in their practice. We argue that no education is value-free. Based on our research study, we found a normative, value-laden approach in outdoor environmental education to be controversial but still the most suitable approach for these types of programs. In the conclusion, we examine various methods of shaping environmental values in outdoor programs.

Within the results presented in this monograph, the basic method used to analyse the ceramic pastes of stove and floor tiles and small ceramic sculptures was micropetragraphic analysis. This method provides the most important information on the shard – representation of fragments and rocks, firing temperature, surface treatment etc. The second most frequent method is electron microscopy with an energy-dispersive analyser. This method was used with glazed ceramic artefacts to determine the chemical composition of glazes. The other methods mentioned below were applied when a specific technological phenomenon occurred.

One of the most representative commodities of the medieval and modern ceramic production are relief-decorated stove tiles, in which we can follow up the content and symbolism of decoration motifs as an evidence of material and spiritual culture at the time of their origin. From a technological point of view, it is possible to define the development of production procedures, both in the construction of tiles themselves, and in the construction of entire heating devices. However, problems arise when we try to find out how technological novelties and relief motifs have spread among stove builders. Apart from natural scientific analyses, which have long been used to solve this question (e. g. Loskotová–Hložek 2017), we also searched for the possibilities of analysing the relief decoration on tiles from a technological and not from an art historical perspective. For this purpose, we had to document the reliefs in order to obtain exact data, which were not yet provided by the standard methods of archaeological research.

The current security context illustrated by the COVID-19 pandemic shows us that we have vulnerabilities, that there are threats and that there will be risks, including biological ones. In the field of BIO defense, it is almost impossible to experiment at the general level. This can only be done on time in the laboratory, in vitro, in vivo and possibly in silico. The calculation methodology for the effects of possible attack with contagious biological warfare agents has certain assumptions and limitations. Considering that the population is homogeneous it results that the isolated groups, to which the infection it does not spread, will show an overestimation. Possible individual variations, particular diseases and asymptomatic cases are not taken into account so either an underestimation or an overestimation occurs. In the mathematical modeling of the epidemic diseases induced by biological attack with contagious agents can use the SEIRP model: Susceptible, Exposed and Infected, Infectious, Removed and Prophylaxis Efficacious Model. The study is important for medical operational planning.

In the case of attack with CBRN Weapons of Mass Destruction, the use of biological warfare agents is likely to amplify the effect on the living force, in order to infect, lethal or nonlethal, as many enemy as possible. The military medical service must be able to prevent, diagnose, treat and recover all affected military and the civilian population in the area. Healthlosses must be recovered in their entirety. Mathematical modeling of the epidemic induced by biological attack is useful for planning the forces and means of the military medical service, for medical planning the offensive or defensive operation, logistics and human resources needed for medical support and replacement. The estimates resulting from the calculations according to the formulas recommended in the specific NATO documents allow the optimization of the medical and non-medical countermeasures for the liquidation of theconsequences of the biological attack.

Research and development is important field of regional economy. Indicators characterizing research and development are also used for evaluation of knowledge and innovation potential. The aim of this article is to help establish a correlation analysis of the interdependence between the growth of spending on research and development and economic growth as measured by gross domestic product in various regions of Slovakia. We examined whether the research and development support in the form of expenditure affected the economic growth of Slovak regions at NUTS III level. Data were obtained from the Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic for the period 2002 to 2015. The results showed regional differences. In some regions, the correlation was high, some low. High correlation proved particularly Bratislava region and Košice region. From the results obtained, however, we cannot unambiguously conclude that the promotion of research and development has no positive impact on the economic development of the regions where it was reported a low correlation.

Flipped classroom method is a pedagogical approach in which the traditional concept of classroom-based learning process changes, students are already familiar with the teaching material before the lesson, so they can spend classroom time by activities and tasks facilitated and managed by the lecturer. The study presents the principles of the flipped classroom method and also its practical steps and methodological possibilities. In addition - by the presenting good practices and inspiring examples - it describes possibilities and experiences of the university implementation of the method.

Flipped classroom method is a pedagogical approach in which the traditional concept of classroom-based learning process changes, students are already familiar with the teaching material before the lesson, so they can spend classroom time by activities and tasks facilitated and managed by the lecturer. The aim of the study is to present the results of a questionnaire survey mapping the application of the flipped classroom method in university education in Slovakia. The questions of the questionnaire used in the research on the one hand research to what extent the flipped classroom method is known and applied in the practice of university education, and on the other hand to find out what the experiences and feedback of the lecturers during the implementation of the method.

The article deals with the level organization of the semantic structure of words in the aspect of teaching Russian as a foreign language. The knowledge of lexical semantics, in the author's opinion, can be represented in three levels: denotative, systemic and conceptual, which not only reflects the levels of linguistic cognitive development of the word, but also helps the organization of vocabulary for the purpose of teaching it, including teaching Russian language for Slavic students. It is demonstrated in Article on the material of Russian and Czech languages. Possession of a certain level of word semantics characterizes the level of possession of Russian as a foreign language in general.

Parental burnout (PB) has increasingly attracted the attention of social workers, family counsellors, epidemiologists, doctors, educators, psychiatrists, psychologists, and sociologists over the past 15 years. The reason is simple: if we can quit our job position because we are affected by career / job / occupational / professional burnout, we cannot resign as a parent. From a social work perspective, we are particularly interested in history and risk factors of PB, in the conceptualization of PB, in the consequences of PB, in gender differences in PB, in the assessment of the degree of PB, in the biological and cultural factors related to PB, in the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic on PB, in the nature of PB, in the prevention of PB, in the relationship between PB and career / job / occupational / professional burnout, in the stages of PB and in the treatment of PB.

The field of research in which this study falls is that of “sociocultural pragmatics”, which focuses on the influence of external factors (social and cultural) on the formulation and interpretation of linguistic forms. We opted for the speech act of apology, given the role that expressive speech acts have in the dynamics of interpersonal relationships. The need to investigate the speech act of the apology is given by its role in restoring the imbalance that can occur in human interaction, the apology being the means that can determine the “saving” of interactions and relationships between interlocutors. The corpus of the research is extracted from several textbooks of RFL as the pragmatic trend has been very successful in teaching foreign languages, the notion of speech act being present in the textbooks, and the communicative approach representing a sine qua non condition for learning a language foreign. The theoretical approach is based on the theory of speech acts of the American philosophers Austin and Searle and the verbal interaction studies of the French linguist Kerbrat-Orecchioni.

The state social policy of the Republic of Bulgaria is aimed at satisfying the needs of all ethnic groups, based on the constitutional principle of equality of citizens. This policy is based on a package of legal and by-laws – laws, strategies and others, which are the basis of all plans and specific actions and measures affecting the population of the Republic of Bulgaria, regardless of the ethnic affiliation of every citizen of the Republic of Bulgaria.

In a number of regions of the Republic of Bulgaria, especially in rural areas, agribusiness is the main area of employment for the local population. All ethnic groups, without exception, have free, constitutional access to the labor market in this industry. The qualification of the Roma ethnic group to the vulnerable groups also puts on the agenda the issue of use, application and broad awareness of the legislative opportunities that are provided to all ethnic groups for employment in agribusiness, in various forms, which is also a right of choice. At this stage, the legal toolkit enabling the persons from the Roma ethnic group to participate in active employment in agribusiness, which would also increase their quality of life, has not been sufficiently evaluated.

Recent historiography about the Military border – i.e. research that was conducted from the beginning of 1990s’– embraced various topics within domestic and international projects. Scholars investigated topics such as military communities, ecclesiastical union, environmental history of multi-border territories, questions regarding identity of borderline communities, influence of enlightenment processes to the education of military officers in the Monarchy, as well as tolerance and intolerance in the broader South Eastern European region. Although these topics and questions were analyzed from various perspectives, recent syntheses of Croatian history and few scientific articles on history of Military border still incude some unreliable stereotypes of nineteenth century historiography. Among these stereotypes one can emphasize interpretations of immigration and ethnical background of the Orthodox borderers, questions regarding historical background and affiliation of the borderline territories, and religious policy of Vienna court regarding the Military border. Moreover, the author concludes that the recent historiography lacks an interest regarding the investigation of military aspects of Military border history.
