    This paper introduces the means of dramatherapy intervention at two sites - at the Centre for secondary prevention and treatment of addictions Military Hospital in Olomouc and Toxicological rehabilitation department 17B (community Mandala) Psychiatric Hospital in Kroměříž. The first workplace has a detoxifying and short-term intervention program (month), while the Mandala is implemented medium-term dramatherapy program (up to a half-year). The second part gives the results of the investigation, which was focused on finding differences (relations) between the client and the perception of the benefits of the concept dramatherapy intervention at the aforementioned sites - nvestigation did not show differences between evaluation intervention customers of both institutions

    The idea of sustainable development links business, environmental and social objectives into one integrated effort aiming to meet a common goal. Due to the influence of current developments in customer behaviour companies revise their business strategies towards more sustainably oriented ways of production, business practices, resource efficiency, waste disposal, building partnerships, communication effectiveness etc. Market with telecommunication services is affected by technology development. Growing demands of customers result in reevaluation of marketing routine. The main purpose of the research is to identify the change in customers’ approaches and satisfaction with offered products, enterprise processes, and business strategy as a result of implementing Customer Relationship Management in 2014 and subsequently in 2018 with the dependence on socio-demographic characteristics. Customers’ opinions were investigated using a questionnaire. Respondents were selected by direct sampling with contingent valuation. Sample set consisted of 3,282 respondents. Following the results, the fact that there are changes in approaches of customers in investigated areas in terms of gender and age as a result of implementing the Customer Relationship Management can be stated. The customers’ satisfaction with provided services improved. In order to serve the new and constantly evolving needs of the growing number of customers who care about social and environmental issues, the companies are required to permanently monitor their performance on the market and incorporate customer feedback as in input for evaluation of their internal processes. In terms of marketing, positive changes in approach, satisfaction with the quality of provided services and reduced service time were observed. In terms of business strategy, the changes in connection strategy, the effect of customer-driven strategy and services provided by call centres abroad are perceived in positive way.Основною метою сталого розвитку є гармонізація економічних, соціальних та екологічних цілей. У статті зазначено, що розвиток інформаційних технологій та поширення ідей сталого розвитку обумовлює зміну поведінки споживачів, що спонукає компанії адаптувати свої бізнес-стратегії щодо способів виробництва з урахуванням принципів сталого розвитку та вимог споживачів. Авторами зазначено, що компанії повинні підвищувати ефективність використання ресурсів, впроваджувати інноваційні технології переробки відходів, розбудовувати комунікацію з основними стейкхолдерами тощо. При цьому у статті наголошено, що ринок телекомунікаційних послуг впливає на розвиток технологій, а зростаючі потреби споживачів призводять до переоцінки маркетингової політики підприємства. Основною метою статті є аналіз основних змін поведінки споживачів, підходів до оцінювання рівня задоволеності продукцією/послугою, ефективності управління компанією в результаті впровадження системи комунікації зі споживачами у 2014 та 2018 роках з урахуванням соціально-демографічних характеристик. Інформаційну базу дослідження сформовано на основі результатів анкетування 3282 респондентів. Емпіричні результати дослідження свідчать про наявність змін у поведінці споживачів внаслідок впровадження системи комунікації зі споживачами. Визначено, що відбувся зсув інтересів та цінностей споживачів у бік зростання рівня зацікавленості у екологічних властивостях товару/послуги. Окрім цього, підтвердилась гіпотеза, що впровадження інформаційних технологій призводить до підвищення рівня задоволеності клієнтів наданими послугами, їх якістю та швидкістю отримання. Авторами визначено, що компанії повинні здійснювати постійний контроль ефективності системи комунікації зі споживачами та аналізувати їх відгуки. Результати даного аналізу повинні сприйматись як вхідні дані для оцінювання внутрішніх процесів компанії. При цьому споживачами позитивно сприймається клієнто- орієнтована маркетингова стратегія, що передбачає консультування споживачів через закордонні кол-центри

    Biochar – An efficient sorption material for the removal of pharmaceutically active compounds, DNA and RNA fragments from wastewater

    No full text
    Wastewaters are considered a remarkable source of micropollutants capable of influencing the environment both directly and indirectly. Here we tested porous ecological carbon (Biochar), an effective sorbent material for removing pharmaceuticals, drugs, and their metabolites found in wastewaters. The tested Biochar type was first characterised and used for adsorption experiments of selected micropollutants from a municipal WWTP (wastewater treatment plant) effluent sample. The sorption efficiency was studied on selected pharmaceuticals due to their common presence in aquatic ecosystems. The results show that the studied Biochar type removed the pharmaceuticals with high efficiency (above 90%), so this material can potentially be applied in wastewater treatment. We achieved greater than 99% efficiency in total RNA removal from wastewater. Wastewater might contain infectious RNA fragments of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. However, Biochar can be used as a sorbent in wastewater treatment to remove antibiotic resistance genes. We have also observed a total DNA removal ability of Biochar. On the other hand, the total number and antibiotic-resistant coliform bacteria and enterococci were not changed after Biochar wastewater treatment.Web of Science94art. no. 10574

    Fitness And Genetic Variation Of Viola Calaminaria, An Endemic Metallophyte: Implications Of Population Structure And History

    Full text link
    We investigated variations in genetic diversity and plant fitness in a rare endemic metallophyte of calamine soils, Viola calaminaria, in relation to population size, population connectivity and population history in order to evaluate and discuss potential conservation strategies for the species. Mean population genetic diversity (Hs = 0.25) of V. calaminaria was similar to endemic non-metallophyte taxa. Twenty-one per cent of the genetic variation was partitioned among populations and a low (9%) but significant differentiation was found among geographical regions. Our results did not support the hypothesis that the acquisition of metal tolerance may result in reduced genetic diversity, and suggested that strict metallophytes do not exhibit higher inter-population differentiation resulting from scattered habitats. There were no relationships between population genetic diversity and population size. Significant correlations were found between plant fitness and (i) population size and (ii) connectivity index. Recently-founded populations exhibited the same level of genetic diversity as ancient populations and also possessed higher plant fitness. There was no indication of strong founder effects in recently-established populations. The results suggest that the creation of habitats through human activities could provide new opportunities for conservation of this species
