Volunteering of older people - an impact research study
No full textzáverečná správaVýskumná štúdia bola realizovaná v rámci napĺňania domény 4.9, cieľ 2, opatrenia 4 Národného programu aktívneho starnutia na roky 2021-2030: „Realizovanie výskumu zameraného na vplyv aktívneho dobrovoľníctva na zdravie, sociálny a psychický stav starších dobrovoľníkov ako podklad pre propagáciu dobrovoľníctva medzi staršími ľuďmi“. Pre účely realizácie štúdie bol zvolený kombinovaný (následný kvantitatívno-kvalitatívny) výskumný dizajn. V prvej (kvantitatívnej) časti výskumnej práce boli analyzované dostupné reprezentatívne výskumné zdroje zamerané na prevalenciu dobrovoľníctva medzi osobami 55+, ich socio-demografické charakteristiky a vybrané ukazovatele kvality života. Vo väčšine sledovaných ukazovateľov (napr. vek, vzdelanie, socio-ekonomická situácia, občianska angažovanosť, ale aj pocit šťastia a životnej pohody či sociálnej ukotvenosti) bol významný rozdiel medzi tými staršími ľuďmi, ktorí boli dobrovoľnícky angažovaní a tými, ktoré neboli. V kvalitatívnej časti štúdie sme spracovali inštrumentálnu prípadovú štúdiu Centra dobrovoľníctva v Banskej Bystrici. Realizovali sme pološtruktúrované rozhovory s manažérkou centra, dvomi koordinátorkami dobrovoľníckych programov a štyrmi staršími dobrovoľníčkami so zameraním na skúmanie ich reflexií na dopady výkonu formálneho dobrovoľníctva na ich život. Kvalitatívne zistenia potvrdili doterajšie výskumné poznanie ohľadom pozitívneho vplyvu dobrovoľníctva starších ľudí na jednotlivé aspekty ich života. Pridaná hodnota výskumu spočívala v tom, že umožnil pochopiť a interpretovať tento pozitívny vplyv v kontexte (v súvislostiach) individualizovaných životných trajektórií zapojených dobrovoľníčok a manažérskej, programovej a koordinačnej činnosti centra dobrovoľníctva. Vybrané zistenia boli predmetom hlbšej diskusie a na záver boli formulované sociálno-politické odporúčania k posilneniu propagačnej a inej práce podporujúcej dobrovoľníctvo starších ľudí ako súčasti opatrení sociálnej politiky vykonávanej v podmienkach Slovenska na rozličných úrovniach, osobitne na úrovni miestnej samosprávy

Factors influencing the acidification trends in agriculture soils: A case study of Slovakia
No full textIn: Journal of geoscience and environment protection. Wuhan : Scientific Research Publishing, 2024. ISSN 2327-4336. Vol. 12, no. 9 (2024), pp. 269-282.This study aims to evaluate the development of soil reaction values in 15 key localities of soil Partial Monitoring System from 1994 to 2023, and to identify the most important regional drivers of pH value development. Soil samples were collected from the depth 0 - 0.10 m yearly in the spring (5 samples from each locality). In the dry soil, samples were determined actively and exchanged soil reaction. The most significant negative changes (decreases of soil reaction) were determined in Haplic Stagnosols group and Cambisols group. The pH value in topsoil is primarily controlled by soil type and soil substrate, soil management and land use, and to a lesser extent by climatic region.APVV-18-0035 Oceňovanie ekosystémových služieb prírodného kapitálu ako nástroja hodnotenia sociálno-ekonomického potenciálu území

Roč. 11, č. 1 (2024), s. 43-51.Príspevok sa zameriava na problematiku legálnej úpravy zväzkov párov rovnakého pohlavia v podmienkach slovenského právneho poriadku. Autorka konštatuje, že v rámci Slovenskej republiky neexistuje obdoba inštitútu manželstva pre kohabitujúce osoby rovnakého pohlavia. Ďalej sa konkretizuje na otázky uznávania manželstiev párov rovnakého pohlavia, respektíve registrovaných partnerstiev vzniknutých v zahraničí. Cieľom príspevku je zosumarizovať a podnietiť širšiu diskusiu o riešených otázkach a tiež poukázať na skutočnosť, že v právnom štáte musia byť ľudské práva garantované, pričom ich garanciu možno vykladať ako istotu priznanú všetkým a odmietanie diskriminácie
Comparison study based on the divergence measures between intuitionistic fuzzy sets and some applications
No full textIn: Notes on intuitionistic fuzzy sets. Sofia : Balgarska akademiya na naukite, 2024. ISSN 1310-4926. Vol. 30, no. 4 (2024), pp. 333-348.Many authors investigated possibilities how two fuzzy sets can be compared. The basic study of fuzzy sets theory was introduced by Lotfi Zadeh in 1965. The previous approach to the dissimilarities is too restrictive, because it assumes the inclusion relation between fuzzy sets and many pairs of fuzzy sets are incomparable to each other with respect to this relation. Therefore we need new concept for measuring - divergence measures. We discuss the divergences defined on more general objects, namely intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs). We have focused on some applications of this concept to pattern recognition and to decision making. In both cases, we present an illustrative example
Bismuth sulfosalts from the Nistru metallogenetic field, Baia Mare zone, NW Romania
No full textIn: Minerals : international, peer-reviewed, open access journal of natural mineral systems, mineral resources, mining, and mineral processing. Basel : Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2024. ISSN 2075-163X. Vol. 14, no. 11 (2024), pp. 1-24.An association of bismuth sulfosalts coexisting with native gold is described from a sulfide-rich copper vein in the Nistru area, Baia Mare metallogenetic district, NW Romania. This mineralization is hosted within a Neogene calc-alkaline subvolcanic porphyry quartz-micromonzodiorite stock on the southern border of the Gutâi Mountains. Cu+Au+Bi mineralization represents the inner part of a zoned vein of a type specific to the SE part of the Nistru orefield. The Pb-Zn and Au-Ag veins are located towards the external zone at the boundary of the stock with the surrounding rocks. Bismuth sulfosalts are mainly represented by bismuthinite derivatives and members of the lillianite homologous series. Cosalite, matildite and wittichenite are also present in subordinate amounts. Bi-rich members of the bismuthinite-aikinite series (from krupkaite to bismuthinite) are predominant. A phase with the empirical formula CuPbBi7S12 was also identified and could potentially be a new bismuthinite derivative. The lillianite homologous series is represented by phases with composition between Gus73 and Gus59, with a dominance of members closer to gustavite (Gus97–79) and less abundant members closer to lillianite (Gus49). Native gold and Bi-sulfosalts are closely associated with the main sulfides (pyrrhotite, pyrite, chalcopyrite) and quartz, indicating simultaneous crystallization. Fluid inclusion data for quartz indicate a temperature interval between 205 and 247 °C. The assemblage within this vein was deposited from a low-salinity fluid (0.4–2.6 wt.% NaCl equiv.) and density from 0.80 to 0.87 g/cm3
Relationship between erythropoietin levels and reticulocyte count in sports
No full textIn: Slovak journal of sport science : scientific peer-reviewed journal. Banská Bystrica : Univerzita Mateja Bela, Filozofická fakulta, 2024. ISSN 2453-7659. Vol. 9, no. suppl. (2024), pp. 189-193.The aim of the study was to determine if a direct relationship could be established between erythropoietin levels and reticulocyte counts in blood samples collected at the same time. The research was conducted as a case study on an adult endurance athlete (aged 26-27 at the time of the study), with blood samples taken over a two-year period. Erythropoietin levels and reticulocyte counts were analyzed to investigate a possible relationship between the two. Erythropoietin levels ranged from 3.24 mlU/ml to 12.5 mlU/ml, with a maximum value 3.86 times higher than the minimum. The reticulocyte count ranged from 0.94% to 1.75%. Therefore, the maximum value was 1.86 times higher than the minimum value. A negligible relation (r=0.13) was found between erythropoietin levels and the reticulocyte count. The results of this case study suggest that it is not possible to definitively identify a relationship between erythropoietin levels and the reticulocyte counts when both parameters are analyzed from a single blood draw. Based on these results, further research is needed to identify individual factors that could improve the objectivity of interpreting the results monitored in ABP
Delineating pixels of natural hydrocarbon micro-seepage induced alterations and anomalies in overlying soils and sediments in ugwueme, with ASTER data and band ratio technique
No full textIn: Polish journal of environmental studies. Olsztyn : Hard, 2024. ISSN 1230-1485. Vol. 33, no. 6 (2024), pp. 6015-6024.The earth’s underlying hydrocarbon-bearing reservoirs frequently leak. These reservoirs leak because of their inadequate sealing, and at high pressure, oil and gas escape vertically or nearly vertically to the earth’s surface as seepage. Micro-seepages on the earth’s surface cause oxidationreduction reactions, which cause anomalies in the soils and sediments beneath them. Remote sensing (RS) and geographic information systems (GIS) are important tools for investigating hydrocarbon micro-seepage-induced changes and anomalies in overlying soil and sediments. In this study, ASTER remote sensing data was adopted to delineate pixels of hydrocarbon micro-seepage-induced anomalies in Ugwueme, south-eastern Nigeria. Band Ratio (BR) was used as a spectral enhancement technique to detect alterations and anomalies in the overlying soil and sediments. ASTER BR of 2/1 improves ferric iron; (5+7)/6 improves clay minerals; (1+4)/(2+3) improves ferrous iron; and 4/(6+9) improves gypsum. The study highlights that BR is an excellent spectral enhancement technique for delineating areas of alterations and anomalies induced by hydrocarbon micro-seepage.RSP2024R496 King Saud Universit

Roč. 12, č. 2 (2024), s. 4-18.A market-oriented economy and dynamic changes in the needs of society are often associated with the use of loans and credits. Monitoring the growth of indebtedness of natural persons and legal entities is important from the point of view of the stability of the financial market. From the point of view of the fiscal interests of the state, loans can be perceived precisely in the context of interest and their assessment as taxable income. By not recognizing contractual interest as taxable income, the essence of a tax offense is fulfilled, the detection of which is relatively difficult to almost impossible. The above applies in particular to natural persons. Our research has shown that in the Slovak Republic there is no mechanism, for example between banks and the tax administrator, which would reveal the non lege artis actions of the taxpayer, which also damages the fiscal interests of the state
