The work was aimed at monitoring the chemistry of precipitation after passing through the willow ecosystem. Precipitation samples were evaluated for 2 years. Most of the observed rainfall was acidic. The highest acidity of precipitation was recorded in an open area in continuous open collector (pH = 5.51). The lowest acidity was measured at throughfall willow ecosystem (pH = 5.77). Chemical analyzes of atmospheric precipitation have shown a slight increase in acidity. The great extremity of values (3.72 to 7.04) was found in pH results collected over the course of two years. According to the precipitation scale, the lower extreme pH falls to very acidic and the upper value to a neutral range. The lowest bottom pH was recorded in December in the open collector and the highest upper value in November in the same colletor. Except for actual acidity, the extremity of values has certainly a negative impact on the stability of forest and soil ecosystems. As for the individual annual periods, most acidic precipitation fell in the winter to the part-covering collector. In other seasons, precipitation were less acidic. The average pH values in individual seasons (spring, summer, autumn and winter) have occurred in the interval from 5.22 to 5.83 in the part-covering collector (K1), 5,01 – 5.81 in the opened collector (K2) and 5,32 – 6.00 in the collector in the willow ecosystem (K3). At assessing the resulting pH in the individual collectors, it can be concluded that the acidity of precipitation has not changed significantly. This natural relation is also confirmed by the average figures for the whole period. All average pH values lie in a slightly acidic region.

The paper provides an insight into the existence of people in the space of action art during their journey through life. Based on research conducted in 2019-2021, the authors present a characterization of the different periods of development with the addition of specific potentials for the application of action art. Namely, those are documented by the chosen conceptual maps that are presented for the selected developmental periods as part of the action research. The presented findings can be considered as unique in our conditions, as they go beyond the knowledge of action art in the space of art and move them to the educational environment with possible use within therapeutic-formative processes.

A Management Plan is a document which should be drawn up for all UNESCO World Heritage Sites. It serves to protect universal outstanding value and it is a strategy for further sustainable development of a particular site. A Management Plan is not a product but a process in which all stakeholders in the given area should actively participate. Its result is the design and implementation of activities intended to regenerate, regularly maintain and reasonable use the listed property. The presented Stage I of the second updated Management Plan 2020–2024 launches wider multi-disciplinary work on management of the Lednice-Valtice Cultural Landscape, World Heritage Site. The management system must ensure effective protection of the outstanding universal value of the site for present and future generations. Stage II of updating the Management Plan will be launched in 2020 as an implementation stage. The Management Plan will be developed into a series of projects and events which will become part of the updated Action Plan for 2020 – 2024.

The article is devoted to the issues of meeting the special needs of students. It focuses on the description of individualized teaching procedures conducive to satisfying the needs and capabilities of students defined as "students with special educational needs". Particular attention was paid to the analysis of activating methods and organizational forms of education, the use of which enables teachers to individualize work with students with special educational needs. The teaching conditions identified in the article became the basis of empirical research. The results obtained from the research conducted among teachers allow us to conclude that most of them undertake many didactic and methodological initiatives in their didactic work, thanks to which students with special educational needs overcome their difficulties both in the cognitive and social sphere, related to functioning in the classroom environment and the school community.

In this paper we present an analysis of the humoristic ideological system in Don Camillo. Mondo piccolo by Giovannino Guareschi. We describe the characteristics (seriousness, lightness, essentiality) and the aims (break through the bastions of ideological rhetoric to discover the essential truth of human things) of Guareschi’s humor. As a point of reference, we take the essay by Luigi Pirandello L’umorismo, which we consider surprisingly in conformity with the theoretical description of humor in Guareschi. The article is therefore divided into three parts: a. Presentation of the theoretical bases, with the intention of defining what we mean by the term "humor"; b. Presentation of the biographical features that have influenced and formed Guareschi's humor; c. Analysis of the themes developed in Don Camillo. Mondo piccolo using humoristic technique.

The article identifies and further specifies the basic features of Thomism, analytical philosophy, and analytical Thomism. It draws upon the respective encyclicals on this topic, viz. Aeterni Patris and Fides et ratio, as well as upon certain other studies (Haldane, Poiuvet, Berti). It does not, however, consider these studies as fully sufficient, and thus proposes the following features of analytical Thomism: (1) openness to analytical thinking; (2) openness towards contemporary findings in the natural sciences and their philosophical interpretation; (3) openness to solving theological issues, particularly in Catholic theology; (4) the adoption of the metaphysical core of Aquinas’s doctrine based on the act of being (which guarantees metaphysical realism) as well as the determination of the content of further basic metaphysical concepts and principles.

One of the main building materials used in road construction is asphalt. In particular, coated asphalt (bitumen) mixtures are used on the surface cover layer. Their production requires considerable energy resources and raw materials. The paper deals with the analysis of air protection during operation of the model asphalt hot mix plant. The basic description of the technology and parameters of the model plant is followed by the analysis of the operation as a source of air pollution. The legislative requirements in the area of air protection are detailed and, in conclusion, the main aspects of the operation that affect air quality are analyzed.

The aim of the article is the analysis of anthropological, spiritual and christological aspects in the theological-philosophical conception of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. We will try to reflect on Teilhard's understanding of man and his spiritual dimension from the point of view of his creation-evolutionary point of view. We will thematize the process of personalizing man, culminating in our understanding of the Lord Jesus Christ as the eschatological point of Omega as taught by Teilhard.
