Hodnotenie vzdelávacieho prostredia s využitím hodnotiaceho nástroja DREEM – spoločný projekt FZO PU v Prešove a FZS UJEP Ústi nad Labem
No full textVzdelávacie prostredie, s ktorým sa študenti stretávajú, má vplyv na spokojnosť s priebehom štúdia, vnímanú pohodu, ašpirácie a akademické výsledky. Hodnotenie vnímania vzdelávacieho prostredia študentmi v nelekárskych študijných programoch pomocou vhodných nástrojov je preto dôležité a potrebné. Cieľ: Cieľom tejto štúdie bolo zistiť, ako študenti vnímali vzdelávaciu klímu pomocou Dundee Ready Education Environment Measure (DREEM) a porovnať zistenia získané na dvoch univerzitách na Slovensku (FZO PU Prešov) a v Českej republike (FZS UJEP Ústí nad Labem). Metóda: DREEM bol v 1., 2. a 3. ročníku štúdia v roku 2018 až 2019 distribuovaný celkovo 742 študentom. Výsledky: Celkové skóre dotazníka DREEM pre FZO PU Prešov bol 123,15±16,6 (z 200), čo je 62 % z maximálneho možného skóre a celkové skóre dotazníka DREEM pre FZS Ústi nad Labem bolo 126,57±20,6 (z 200), čo je 63 % z maximálneho možného skóre. Medzi Slovenskou republikou a Českou republikou neboli signifikantné rozdiely vo vnímaní vzdelávacieho prostredia študentmi. Vnímanie bolo podobné u študentov v každej krajine. Záver: Štúdia pomohla identifikovať určité problémy, ktoré si vyžadujú ďalšie skúmanie, ako napríklad systém podpory pre študentov, ktorí sú stresovaní, primeraná sociálna a akademická podpora pre študentov nelekárskych odborov, efektívne duševné zdravie a poradenský program.Background: The educational environment that students encounter affects their satisfaction with the course of study, perceived well-being, aspirations and academic results. Assessing students\u27 perceptions of the learning environment in non-medical study programs using appropriate tools is therefore important and necessary. Aim: The aim of this study was to find out how students perceived the educational climate using the Dundee Ready Education Environment Measure (DREEM) and to compare the findings obtained at two universities in Slovakia (FZO PU Prešov) and in the Czech Republic (FZS UJEP Ústí nad Labem). Method: DREEM was distributed to a total of 742 students in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd year of study in 2018 and 2019. Results: The total score of the DREEM questionnaire for FZO PU Prešov was 123.15±16.6 (out of 200), which is 62 % of the maximum possible score and the total score of the DREEM questionnaire for FZS Ústí nad Labem was 126.57±20.6 (of 200), which is 63 % of the maximum possible score. There were no significant differences between the Slovak Republic and the Czech Republic in the students\u27 perception of the study environment. The perception was similar among students in each country. Conclusion: The study helped identify certain issues that require further research, such as a support system for students who are stressed, adequate social and academic support for non-medical students, effective mental health, and a counseling program.Vzdelávacie prostredie, s ktorým sa študenti stretávajú, má vplyv na spokojnosť s priebehom štúdia, vnímanú pohodu, ašpirácie a akademické výsledky.

Romantic fantasy and the grotesque in John Keats’s “Lamia”
No full textThe present article examines the notions of fantasy, illusion and logic in Keats’s romance Lamia (1819) from the perspective of the aesthetic and literary category of the grotesque. In his text Keats puts the grotesque to two uses. First, it serves to mark his ambiguous attitude to both reason and imagination as two exclusive modes of cognition; secondly, it records his uneasiness in relation to the romantic ideal of love. Two conflicting points of view inform and battle in the poem: one might be called Romantic, as it endorses imagination and beauty as values per se; the other invites an interrogation of the idealistic approach. Neither of these two perspectives is unequivocally applauded in the text, and the Romantic grotesque appears a perfect vehicle for expressing this incongruity
The Role of Music in E. L. Doctorow’s City of God
No full textE. L. Doctorow became world-famous primarily for his novel Ragtime (1975), which references a distinct style of playing the piano that had a profound impact on the development of jazz. Music also plays a principal role in a number of the author’s other works. This paper explores the role of music in one of his later novels, City of God (2000), with a focus on selected scenes in which music is represented. From the viewpoint of different modes of music in literature, namely the thematization of music, the sound layer and the musicalization of fiction, this contribution examines the emotions elicited in the protagonists in the scenes in question, as well as the atmosphere that the music creates or accentuates. It also takes into account which musical instruments are employed, including the symbolic meaning that one of them, the violin, carries. Furthermore, an investigation is presented as to what extent musical elements from other novels by E. L. Doctorow can be found, and in which respects this novel is unique. In City of God, the lyrics of jazz tunes emerge throughout the novel, thus the importance of this motif is discussed in detail along with the attention devoted to other major manifestations of music in this literary work.

METHODOLOGY OF THE STATUS ASSESSMENT OF AIR NETWORK
No full textThe air transport network is one of the most important and critical infrastructures in today\u27s global economy. Air transport would not be able to operate without the air network. This fact significantly contributed to interest in a closer study of the issue of air network status assessment. The aim of this article is to evaluate the European air network by identifying and evaluating major European airports based on scheduled flights. Robustness of this air network was determined with regard to its evaluation. According to research, a suitable methodology was chosen which is describing the organization of data, specification of the research area and selection of method. Civil international airports which are located in European countries recognized by their entire size and handled at least 1 million passengers in 2018, were chosen as the basis for the creation of the European air network model and following evaluation. For these airports, individual scheduled flights were searched including their frequency during the selected period on 11-17 November 2019. The method of centrality used in the field of graph theory was chosen to evaluate the air network of these selected airports with regard to their connectivity. The obtained results identified the most important airports of the European air network and thus represent status assessment of air network during the winter flight schedule 2019/2020. These results were used to monitor the robustness of the European air network as a whole. The robustness of the air network was monitored based on a simulation of the sequent closure of the most important airports in the network with regard to the change of average path length and the size of the giant component. The European air network becomes inoperable when 19-20% of the best evaluated airports in the network are closed.The air transport network is one of the most important and critical infrastructures in today\u27s global economy.

OPTIMALIZÁCIA SYSTÉMU ORGANIZÁCIE VEREJNÝCH SÚŤAŽÍ V ŽELEZNIČNEJ OSOBNEJ DOPRAVE
No full textThe market for rail services in EU countries has long been inaccessible to the private sector. Transport services were provided by national carriers, which led to the prevention of participation in fair and non-discriminatory competition in the provision of rail transport services. The main goal of customers of transport services in the public interest as well as providers of transport services is to provide transport services in the public interest and to increase the occupancy of individual connections as much as possible. The more passengers will travel on a given route, the higher the revenue the route will have and therefore it will not be necessary to require more funds from public budgets. It is necessary to analyze the overall development in the operation of rail passenger transport, including the entry of private carriers into the infrastructure of the Železnice Slovenskej republiky. Based on the knowledge of the current situation, it is necessary to take measures to achieve compliance with the requirements of Regulation (EC) 1370/2007, which is coordinated by the Ministry of Transport and Construction of Slovak Republic. The paper characterizes the current state of organizing public tenders in the Slovak Republic and their course and proposes the gradual steps of the public tender in the form of a schedule. An important point of the whole process of the organization of the public tender is the correct setting of competencies, determination of the subject of the public tender and, last but not least, to propose a uniform methodology of the public tender, which may, however, vary in individual states due to the conditions of national legislation. Part of the unified methodology is the determination of the phases of the public tender process, which are part of the schedule of the public tender. The schedule of the public tender shows the entire cycle, resp. the duration of each phase of the tender for each proposed group of measures taken.Trh služieb železničnej dopravy v krajinách EÚ bol dlhodobo neprístupný súkromnému sektoru. Dopravné služby boli poskytované národnými dopravcami, čo viedlo k zamedzeniu podieľania sa na spravodlivej a nediskriminačnej hospodárskej súťaži pri poskytovaní dopravných služieb železničnej dopravy. Hlavným cieľom objednávateľov dopravných služieb vo verejnom záujme ako aj poskytovateľov dopravných služieb je zaistiť dopravné služby vo verejnom záujme, a v čo najväčšej miere zvýšiť obsadenosť jednotlivých spojov. Čím viac cestujúcich bude na danom spoji cestovať, tým budú väčšie tržby na danom spoji a teda nebude potrebné vyžadovať viac financií z verejných rozpočtov. Preto je potrebné analyzovať celkový vývoj v oblasti prevádzkovania železničnej osobnej dopravy, vrátane vstupu súkromných dopravcov na infraštruktúru Železníc Slovenskej republiky. Na základe poznania súčasného stavu je potrebné prijať opatrenia na dosiahnutie naplnenia požiadaviek Nariadenia (ES) 1370/2007, ktoré koordinuje MDV SR. Príspevok charakterizuje aktuálny stav organizovania verejných súťaží v SR a ich priebeh, a navrhuje postupné kroky verejnej súťaže formou časového harmonogramu. Dôležitým bodom celého procesu organizácie verejnej súťaže je správne nastavenie kompetencií, určenie predmetu verejnej súťaže a v neposlednom rade navrhnúť jednotnú metodiku priebehu verejnej súťaže, ktorá sa však môže meniť v jednotlivých štátoch vzhľadom na podmienky národnej legislatívy. Súčasťou jednotnej metodiky je určenie fáz procesu verejnej súťaže, ktoré sú súčasťou časového harmonogramu verejnej súťaže. Časový harmonogram verejnej súťaže zobrazuje celý cyklus, resp. trvanie jednotlivých fáz verejnej súťaže pre každú navrhovanú skupinu prijatých opatrení
LATERALLY LOADED CYLINDRICAL SHELL WITHOUT INITIAL IMPERFECTIONS – COMPARISON OF NUMERICAL ANALYSIS WITH EXPERIMENT
No full textÚkolem probíhajícího výzkumu je určení vlivu počátečních imperfekcí na ztrátu stability příčně zatěžované válcové skořepiny. Článek popisuje probíhající druhou fázi experimentálního ověření, která aktuálně sestává z ověření nově vyrobených experimentálních vzorků. Z tohoto důvodu se tento článek zaměřuje pouze na variantu modelu bez úmyslně vytvořené počáteční imperfekce. Porovnávány jsou výsledky geometricky a materiálově nelineární numerické analýzy (GMNA) s výstupy zatěžování dvou experimentálních modelů v univerzálním zkušebním stroji. Měřítkem shody je pak hodnota mezního zatížení, při kterém dochází ke ztrátě stability posuzované příčně zatěžované válcové skořepiny. Dále je posuzován i průběh a shoda jednotlivých zatěžovacích křivek. Pokud bude potvrzena dostatečně blízká shoda výsledků numerických analýz s výstupy nových experimentálních vzorků, pak bude umožněn následující krok druhé fáze experimentálního ověření, který bude spočívat v realizaci experimentů vzorků s úmyslně vytvořenou geometrickou počáteční imperfekcí.The aim of the current research is to determine the effect of initial imperfections on the loss of stability of a laterally loaded cylindrical shell. This paper describes the ongoing second phase of experimental verification, which currently consists of the verification of newly produced experimental specimens. For this reason, this paper focuses only on a variant of the model without intentionally creating initial imperfections. The results of geometrically and materially nonlinear numerical analysis (GMNA) are compared with the loading outcomes of two experimental models in a universal testing machine. The measure of conformity is then the value of the ultimate load at which the stability of the transversely loaded cylindrical shell under consideration is lost. Furthermore, the progress and conformity of the individual load curves are also assessed. If a sufficiently close agreement between the results of the numerical analyses and the outputs of the new experimental specimens is confirmed, then the next step of the second phase of experimental verification is enabled, which consists in carrying out experiments on specimens with a deliberately created geometric initial imperfection
Challenges of Early Modern Diplomacy: Elizabethan Envoys to German Imperial Diets
No full textA Diet was an assembly of the Estates of the Holy Roman Empire, summoned by the Emperor to deliberate on political and judicial matters. As a multilateral forum of deliberation and communication within the Holy Roman Empire, Emperors, and Estates, Diets also attracted the attention of foreign princes, who thus sent their envoys to these Estate assemblies. Because of the variety and quantity of these foreign envoys, Diets developed into specific multilateral spaces of early modern diplomacy. The formal exclusion of the envoys from the Diets’ negotiations and meetings built up challenges and required strategies of “diplomatic” communication beyond the formal process. By comparing two envoys sent by Queen Elizabeth I (1558–1603), Christopher Mundt (1559/1566) and George Gilpin (1582), this paper shows what impact dispositive factors, such as expertise or confessional inclination, could have on an envoy’s status, his recognition by hostile and allied partners, and his assertiveness at a Diet. Furthermore, these factors mainly influenced and drove cooperation and conflict between England and the Habsburg Emperors and the Imperial Estates, and socontribute to further understanding ‘diplomatic relations’ in the 16th century
