The way encountering and finding

The paper consists of a theoretical part, an art project and a didactic part which reflect the topic of the diploma work from the symbolic and onthological point of view through theory, reflexion and creative process in the area of the given topic "A way - encountering and finding". The aim of the work was to monitor areas in which the topic can appear and suggest direction where it can tend. The theoretical part shows an unusual range of the idea of the way and the didactic part outlines how to work with the idea in the area of the progress of personality and creative work.Práce je tvořena teoretickou částí, výtvarným projektem a didaktickou částí, které reflektují znění diplomové práce z hlediska symbolického a ontologického prostřednictvím teorie, reflexe a tvůrčího procesu v oblasti zadaného tématu ,,Cesta - setkávání a nacházení". Cílem práce bylo zmapovat oblasti, ve kterých se může zadané téma pohybovat a naznačit směry, kterými se může ubírat. Poznatky teoretické části osvětlují neobvyklou šíři pojmu cesta a v didaktické části nastiňují, jak pracovat s pojmem v oblasti osobnostního rozvoje i tvůrčího zpracování.Katedra výtvarné výchovyPedagogická fakultaFaculty of Educatio

The values and attitudes of conternporary subcultures representatives

In the theoretical part of this bachelor thesis its basic terms are defined, such as a subculture, values, and attitudes. Furthermore, a few specific subcultures are described: Czech tramps, motorbikers and skateboarders. The practical part presents the results of a qualitative research. Using semi structured interviews we explored the lifestyle and ideology of the chosen subcultures. The aim of the thesis was to illuminate the values and attitudes of members of such subcultures and to identify the ideological and material aspect of their particularity

Diversification trends in Moldovan international migration :evidence from Czechia and Italy

This contribution advances knowledge of contemporary Moldovan migration and is the first comparative description of the situation of Moldovans in Czechia and Italy. Our specific objective is to review evidence about how the concept of the migration-development nexus applies to the Moldovan situation. In the absence of comparable primary data on Moldovan migration our research design uses mixed methods and triangulates data from Moldova and across the main destinations for Moldovan migration, including Italy and Czechia. In addition to confirming prior research on the significance of remittances to the Moldovan economy since 1991, we report three additional findings. First, Moldovan migrants, particularly women who may work as domestic workers are often invisible and undercounted. Second, Moldovan migration is rapidly diversifying, with new destinations, selectivities, and forms and modes of mobility. Third, the global economic recession of 2008 had different implications for Moldovan migration patterns to and from Czechia and Italy. We conclude with a specific call for research that extends the migration-development nexus by examining social remittances and the mobility and labour strategies of Moldovan family reunifiers. The paper also argues for availability of robust data that would allow comparative analysis of international migration and could better support evidence-based debates about migration.23724

Biodegradation of High Concentrations of Aliphatic Hydrocarbons in Soil from a Petroleum Refinery: Implications for Applicability of New Actinobacterial Strains

At present, there is great demand for new resistant and metabolically active strains of biodegrading bacteria capable of degrading high concentrations of petroleum pollutants. In this study, we undertook a series of pot-based biodegradation experiments on soil from a petroleum refinery lagoon heavily polluted with aliphatic hydrocarbons (81.6 ± 2.5 g·kg−1 dry weight) and metals. Periodical bioaugmentation with either a mixture of isolated degraders identified as Bacillus sp. and Ochrobactrum sp. or biostimulation with nutrient medium, singly or in combination, did not produce any significant decrease in hydrocarbons, even after 455 days. Inoculation with Gordonia rubripertincta CWB2 and Rhodococcus erythropolis S43 in iron-limited media, however, resulted in a significant decrease in hydrocarbons 45 days after bioaugmentation. These actinobacterial strains, therefore, show significant potential for bioremediation of such highly polluted soils
