What Developmental Linguistics Can Offer L1 Education. An Example of the Relation between Implicit and Explicit Word-formation Knowledge in Slovak Speaking Children

The paper focuses on defining the relationship between developmental linguistics and L1 education. We consider both theories and empirical research in developmental linguistics an important theoretical basis for L1 education, especially in pre-school and junior school aged children. The examples of research on child language in Slovak speaking children are used to clarify the possibilities of transforming the findings in developmental linguistics into the curriculum of language learning/teaching. The dynamic interactions of implicit and explicit linguistic knowledge in L1 education is the way how developmental linguistics’ knowledge base can positively influence the results of language learning. The paper is based both on the analysis of theoretical sources and the empirical findings of qualitative linguistic research.This study is being carried out under the auspices of the Scientific Grant Agency of the Ministry of Education, Science, Research and Sport of the Slovak Republic, research project VEGA 1/0353/18 Implicit linguistic knowledge of a junior school-aged child.

AN OVERVIEW AND COMPARSION OF DATA DESCRIBING CROATIA AND SLOVAKIA AND EUROPEAN UNION REGARDING THE INFLUENCE OF TOURISM UPON EMPLOYMENT

Croatia being above EU average in direct contribution to GDP can serve as a best practice for countries such as Slovakia. However, best practices is sometimes not easy to follow due to differences in the fundamentals of countries‟ potential such as forest, numbers of castles or caves and the like. Paper provides modest overview of the potential of the two destinations and then provides reader with comparison of data regarding employment and GDP

Lactic Acid Bacteria and Fermentation of Cereals and Pseudocereals

The usage of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in food as starters in fermentation technologies has a long tradition. Although the theorized idea of host‐friendly bacteria found in yoghurt has been formulated only over a century ago, both groups are widely used nowadays. Lactic acid bacteria alone or with special adjunct probiotic strains are inevitable for the preparation of various specific fermented and probiotic foods. Moreover, because of their growth and metabolism, the final products are preserved for a certain time. Growth dynamics of probiotic LAB and Fresco DVS 1010 in milk‐ and water‐based maize mashes with sucrose or flavours (chocolate, caramel and vanilla) were evaluated in this study. Although milk is typical growth medium for the LAB growth, observed strains showed sufficient growth in each of prepared mashes as well as they were able to maintain their content above 106 CFU ml-1 during storage period (6°C/21 d). Designed flavoured mashes were acceptable from the microbiological point of view, but according to the sensory evaluation they were provided with an attractive overall acceptability and are adequate alternative for celiac patients, people suffering from milk protein allergies or lactose intolerance

Surface growth of geotrichum candidum: effect of the environmental factors on its dynamics

The growth dynamics of Geotrichum candidum was studied on the surface of the skim milk agar with respect to the temperature, pH and water activity/NaCl content. At pH ranging from 5.0 to 7.0, the fungus growth rates were similar, whereas the temperature and water activity represented by salt addition in concentration of 3 % influenced the growth significantly. The effect of incubation temperature on the surface growth rate was modelled with G-Twmodel. Designed model proved to be good predictor of fungus growth at used environmental conditions. As the filamentous fungus under study is commonly present on the surface of various cheeses, the quantitative data found in this work can provide useful information closely related to real fungus growth, e.g. calculation of time required for G. candidum to reach visible 3 mm colony. The predictions showed that, for example at 0 % NaCl content, such colonies were grown for 52.2, 30.7, 18.4, 14.4, 13.9 hat temperatures of 10, 14, 19, 23, 27 °C, respectively

Data Collection and Analysis for Non-Complex Aircraft Airworthiness Monitoring

Cílem práce je upravení systému sledování zachování letové způsobilosti (ACAM) jiných než složitých letadel Úřadem pro civilní letectví, tak, aby odpovídal standardizovaným metodikám. Nejdříve jsou rozebrány systémy používané pro sběr a zpracování dat, dále jsou analyzovány dostupné a potenciální datové zdroje, které tvoří základ modelu systému vytvořeného pomocí unifikovaného modelovacího jazyku (UML). V další části práce je navržena metoda vyhodnocování rizikovosti letadel, podle které jsou letadla doporučována na kontrolu. Modely i postupy vyhodnocení jsou v závěru práce validovány, mohou tak být použity v praxi či sloužit jako základ pro softwarový systém sloužící pro vyhodnocení rizikovosti letadla.The aim of the work is to modify the system of Aircraft Continuing Airworthiness Monitoring (ACAM) for non-complex aircraft, used by the Civil Aviation Authority, so that it corresponds to standardized methodologies. First, the systems used for data collection and processing are analyzed. Then the available and potential data sources are analyzed and form the basis of the system model created using the Unified Modeling Language (UML). In the next part of the work, a method for evaluating the risk of aircraft is proposed, according to which aircraft are recommended for inspection. Models and evaluation procedures are validated at the end of the work, so they can be used in practice or serve as a basis for a software system used to evaluate the risk of the aircraft
