KOMUNIKACIJA U AKADEMSKOM OKRUŽENJU I NJEZIN UTJECAJ NA ORGANIZACIJSKU KLIMU SVEUČILIŠTA

The text focuses on perception of communication in the academic environment by academics. In particular, on communication among academics, department and faculties managers, or university managers. It gives a brief characteristic of the environment of Czech universities, especially the social and cultural areas in relation to organizational climate of university as an organization. Theoretical starting points are illustrated by outcomes of a survey carried out at teacher training faculties. It is followed by an interpretation of the significance of communication attributed by academics to communication in the organization of university, i.e. at their departments, among academics and department or faculty managers.Rad se fokusira na percepciju komunikacije u akademskoj okolini između sveučilišnog osoblja.

K niektorým otázkam multikultúrnosti a školskej inklúzie v kontexte slovenskej sociálnej pedagogiky

Slovenská spoločnosť s vysokým podielom národnostných a etnických skupín a s ich dlhoročnou koexistenciou je de facto už desaťročia multietnickou spoločnosťou. Význam pôsobenia tejto dimenzie pre spoločenský život ešte narastá, ak si uvedomíme, že jedinečná kultúra je atribútom nielen celých národov a etnických skupín, ale i menších svetonázorových, rodových a iných zoskupení existujúcich v rámci jednej spoločnosti. Každá kultúra, ale i jednotlivé subkultúry v spoločnosti sú originálne, majú špecifické identifikačné znaky, ktorými sa navzájom od seba odlišujú. V slovenskej spoločnosti dochádza v poslednom desaťročí aj následkom zavedenia niektorých krokov ekonomickej reformy k výraznejšiemu prehlbovaniu sociálnych a kultúrnych rozdielov medzi skupinami obyvateľstva. Prejavy týchto rozdielov sa zvýrazňujú v školskom prostredí medzi žiakmi z rôznych kultúr, kultúrne a sociálne rozdiely sťažujú zaškoľovanie a prispievajú k sociálnej exklúzii

TEACHER´S DIDACTIC COMPETENCIES WHEN TEACHING NATURAL SCIENCE SUBJECTS AS A LEARNING ENVIRONMENT FACTOR

The relationship of primary and secondary schools pupils to natural science subjects is often discussed together with teacher´s didactic competencies that are implemented when teaching natural science subjects. The aim of the paper is to find out how pupils from chosen primary and secondary schools in the Slovak Republic evaluate didactic competencies of natural science subjects teachers in the framework of the overall learning environment evaluation of these subjects. The means to fulfil this objective is the analysis of corresponding questionnaire items oriented on the learning environment when teaching natural science subjects. A partial aim is to compare the evaluation of natural science teachers didactic competencies from several points of view: school type (at primary and secondary schools), gender issues (boys and girls), in relation to the overall learning environment and in relation to learning environment at primary and secondary schools.  Article visualizations

Competence – education – evaluation : in search of innovative models for the development and the evaluation of young students’ skills

Praca recenzowana / Peer-reviewed paperOddajemy do rąk Czytelników monografię stanowiącą efekt międzynarodowej współpracy dwóch ośrodków akademickich: Wydziału Psychologii i Nauk Humanistycznych Krakowskiej Akademii im. Andrzeja Frycza Modrzewskiego oraz Wydziału Pedagogicznego Uniwersytetu Mateja Bela w Bańskiej Bystrzycy. Zaproszone do współpracy grono badaczy, w tym praktyków, reprezentujące nie tylko różne ośrodki akademickie, ale też różne subdyscypliny pedagogiczne, przez to o odmiennych zainteresowaniach naukowych, niewątpliwie łączy poszukiwanie innowacyjnych rozwiązań kompetencji, kształcenia i ewaluacji, a dokładniej: kształtowania i oceny kompetencji uczniów klas niższych szkoły podstawowej.The following volume is the fruit of a number of international research projects undertaken by two academic institutions: Th e Faculty of Psychology and Humanities at the Andrzej Frycz Modrzewski Academy in Cracow, Poland, and the Faculty of Education at the Matthias Bell University in Banska Bystrica, Slovakia. Not only do the experts invited to participate in the proceedings represent different academic traditions and interests but they also specialize in different areas of education. Th eir joined eff orts have converged on the pages of the following book, which takes up the topic of student competence, education and evaluation, or, to be more precise, it centres on the strategies to form and evaluate the diff erent types of competence in young primary school students

Difficult tracheal intubation in neonates and infants. NEonate and Children audiT of Anaesthesia pRactice IN Europe (NECTARINE): a prospective European multicentre observational study

BACKGROUND: Neonates and infants are susceptible to hypoxaemia in the perioperative period. The aim of this study was to analyse interventions related to anaesthesia tracheal intubations in this European cohort and identify their clinical consequences. METHODS: We performed a secondary analysis of tracheal intubations of the European multicentre observational trial (NEonate and Children audiT of Anaesthesia pRactice IN Europe [NECTARINE]) in neonates and small infants with difficult tracheal intubation. The primary endpoint was the incidence of difficult intubation and the related complications. The secondary endpoints were the risk factors for severe hypoxaemia attributed to difficult airway management, and 30 and 90 day outcomes. RESULTS: Tracheal intubation was planned in 4683 procedures. Difficult tracheal intubation, defined as two failed attempts of direct laryngoscopy, occurred in 266 children (271 procedures) with an incidence (95% confidence interval [CI]) of 5.8% (95% CI, 5.1–6.5). Bradycardia occurred in 8% of the cases with difficult intubation, whereas a significant decrease in oxygen saturation (SpO2<90% for 60 s) was reported in 40%. No associated risk factors could be identified among co-morbidities, surgical, or anaesthesia management. Using propensity scoring to adjust for confounders, difficult anaesthesia tracheal intubation did not lead to an increase in 30 and 90 day morbidity or mortality. CONCLUSIONS: The results of the present study demonstrate a high incidence of difficult tracheal intubation in children less than 60 weeks post-conceptual age commonly resulting in severe hypoxaemia. Reassuringly, the morbidity and mortality at 30 and 90 days was not increased by the occurrence of a difficult intubation event

Peri-operative red blood cell transfusion in neonates and infants: NEonate and Children audiT of Anaesthesia pRactice IN Europe: A prospective European multicentre observational study

BACKGROUND: Little is known about current clinical practice concerning peri-operative red blood cell transfusion in neonates and small infants. Guidelines suggest transfusions based on haemoglobin thresholds ranging from 8.5 to 12 g dl-1, distinguishing between children from birth to day 7 (week 1), from day 8 to day 14 (week 2) or from day 15 (≥week 3) onwards. OBJECTIVE: To observe peri-operative red blood cell transfusion practice according to guidelines in relation to patient outcome. DESIGN: A multicentre observational study. SETTING: The NEonate-Children sTudy of Anaesthesia pRactice IN Europe (NECTARINE) trial recruited patients up to 60 weeks' postmenstrual age undergoing anaesthesia for surgical or diagnostic procedures from 165 centres in 31 European countries between March 2016 and January 2017. PATIENTS: The data included 5609 patients undergoing 6542 procedures. Inclusion criteria was a peri-operative red blood cell transfusion. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The primary endpoint was the haemoglobin level triggering a transfusion for neonates in week 1, week 2 and week 3. Secondary endpoints were transfusion volumes, 'delta haemoglobin' (preprocedure - transfusion-triggering) and 30-day and 90-day morbidity and mortality. RESULTS: Peri-operative red blood cell transfusions were recorded during 447 procedures (6.9%). The median haemoglobin levels triggering a transfusion were 9.6 [IQR 8.7 to 10.9] g dl-1 for neonates in week 1, 9.6 [7.7 to 10.4] g dl-1 in week 2 and 8.0 [7.3 to 9.0] g dl-1 in week 3. The median transfusion volume was 17.1 [11.1 to 26.4] ml kg-1 with a median delta haemoglobin of 1.8 [0.0 to 3.6] g dl-1. Thirty-day morbidity was 47.8% with an overall mortality of 11.3%. CONCLUSIONS: Results indicate lower transfusion-triggering haemoglobin thresholds in clinical practice than suggested by current guidelines. The high morbidity and mortality of this NECTARINE sub-cohort calls for investigative action and evidence-based guidelines addressing peri-operative red blood cell transfusions strategies.

Biological effects of electromagnetic field

Biological effects of electromagnetic field (EMF) are still under discussion. Some effects (negative and positive too) are not exactly clear. This paper is talking about possible biological effects and influences of EMF. One area of EMF applications is medicine and biomedical applications. The most countries of the world have own rules and limits, which have to be accepted in applications of EMF in technology and medicine too
