No full textIn: Ad Alta : journal of interdisciplinary research. Hradec Králové : Magnanimitas, 2024. ISSN 1804-7890. Vol. 14, no. 2 (2024), pp. 349-354.This study uses person-centred thinking as a theoretical framework to
explore first-year undergraduate students' adaptation preferences. The aim is to enhance understanding of support mechanisms by analyzing students' subjective experiences. A qualitative visual methodology employing "one-page profiles" was used to identify preferences for improving adaptation. The research involved 18 students from humanities programs at two Slovak universities. Semiotic analysis of visual representations and thematic analysis of text revealed key preference areas: values, personality traits, social aspects, and motivation. Findings highlight a preference for a holistic approach combining personal development, social support, and academic growth, emphasizing authentic communication and empathetic understanding.EEA Grants BIN SGS02_2021_002 Univerzita podporujúca inteligentné aktívne starnutie

Interactive electronic textbook "Current issues of Europe" - its background and possibilities of use in high school geography
No full textIn: Geografické informácie = Geographical information : časopis Katedry geografie a regionálneho rozvoja FPV UKF v Nitre. Nitra : Univerzita Konštantína Filozofa v Nitre, 2024. ISSN 1337-9453. Roč. 28, č. 2 (2024), s. 66-79.Slovakia, Europe, and the world are currently undergoing numerous changes, bringing various social, economic, and environmental challenges. Some of these changes have been occurring gradually over a long period, while others are rapid and have emerged only in recent years. The dynamics of these changes significantly affects whether they can be addressed within the geography curriculum and textbooks. We believe that school-level regional geography holds great potential for fostering a holistic understanding of complex phenomena and processes in the world and is a subject that should respond appropriately to current issues in Europe. However, based on an analysis of the geography curriculum, textbooks, and personal experience, we can conclude that such a response is currently taking place only to a very limited extent. There are several reasons for this, with one of the most critical being the rapid dynamics of these topics, which require continuous supplementation and updating of traditional educational materials. As part of the KEGA project, we developed an interactive textbook titled Current Issues of Europe. Its purpose is to complement the traditionally covered content of Europe’s regional geography with current topics and case studies. The textbook is primarily intended for high school students and their teachers. The goal of this paper is to present the textbook in terms of its creation, content, and potential applications.KEGA 029UMB-4/2022 Aktuálne problémy regiónov Európy - inovatívne prístupy vo vyučovan

The economics of deep and machine learning-based algorithms for COVID-19 prediction, detection, and diagnosis shaping the organizational management of hospitals
No full textIn: Oeconomia Copernicana. Olsztyn : Institute of Economic Research, 2024. ISSN 2083-1277. Vol. 15, no. 1 (2024), pp. 27-58.Research background: Deep and machine learning-based algorithms can assist in COVID-19 image-based medical diagnosis and symptom tracing, optimize intensive care unit admission, and use clinical data to determine patient prioritization and mortality risk, being pivotal in qualitative care provision, reducing medical errors, and increasing patient survival rates, thus diminishing the massive healthcare system burden in relation to severe COVID-19 inpatient stay duration, while increasing operational costs throughout the organizational management of hospitals. Data-driven financial and scenario-based contingency planning, predictive modelling tools, and risk pooling mechanisms should be deployed for additional medical equipment and unforeseen healthcare demand expenses.
Purpose of the article: We show that deep and machine learning-based and clinical decision making systems can optimize patient survival likelihood and treatment outcomes with regard to susceptible, infected, and recovered individuals, performing accurate analyses by data modeling based on vital and clinical signs, surveillance data, and infection-related biomarkers, and furthering hospital facility optimization in terms of intensive care unit bed allocation.
Methods: The review software systems employed for article screening and quality evaluation were: AMSTAR, AXIS, DistillerSR, Eppi-Reviewer, MMAT, PICO Portal, Rayyan, ROBIS, and SRDR.
Findings & value added: Deep and machine learning-based clinical decision support tools can forecast COVID-19 spread, confirmed cases, and infection and mortality rates for data-driven appropriate treatment and resource allocations in effective therapeutic and diagnosis protocol development, by determining suitable measures and regulations and by using symptoms and comorbidities, vital signs, clinical and laboratory data and medical records across intensive care units, impacting the healthcare financing infrastructure. As a result of heightened use of personal protective equipment, hospital pharmacy and medication, outpatient treatment, and medical supplies, revenue loss and financial vulnerability occur, also due to expenses related to hiring additional staff and to critical resource expenditures. Hospital costs for COVID-19 medical care, screening, treatment capacity expansion, and personal protective equipment can lead to further financial losses while affecting COVID-19 frontline hospital workers and patients.EÚ NFP313010BWN6 The implementation framework and business model of the Internet of Things, Industry 4.0 and smart transpor
Unravelling some factors affecting sexual reproduction in rock-specialist shrub: Insight from an endemic Daphne arbuscula (Thymelaeaceae)
No full textIn: PLoS One. San Francisco : Public Library of Science, 2024. ISSN 1932-6203. Vol. 19, no. 5 (2024), pp. 1-19.The role of endemic species in global biodiversity is pivotal, and understanding their biology and ecology is imperative for their fitness and long-term survival, particularly in the face of ongoing climatic oscillations. Our primary goal was to investigate the sexual reproduction level of the endangered Western Carpathian endemic Daphne arbuscula (Thymelaeaceae), which inhabits extreme rocky habitats, and to comprehend the influence of specific factors on its reproductive success. We conducted the research across four populations, varying in size and environmental conditions. Over two years, we monitored flower and fruit production, analyzed genetic variability within and among populations, and studied pollination mechanisms. Daphne arbuscula proved to be strictly self-incompatible, with significant variations in flower and fruit production among populations and seasons. The average fruit production percentage consistently remained below 50% across populations, indicating challenges in sexual reproduction. Cold and harsh weather during the reproductive phase had a substantial negative impact on sexual reproduction efficacy, leading to decreased fruit production. Nevertheless, several individuals in sheltered microhabitats displayed significantly higher fruit production, ranging from 60% to 83%, emphasizing the critical role of microhabitat heterogeneity in sustaining sexual reproduction in this species. We found no pronounced differences in genetic diversity within or among populations, suggesting that genetic factors may not critically influence the reproductive success of this endemic species. The implications of our findings might be of paramount importance for the long-term survival of D. arbuscula and offer valuable insights for the development of effective conservation strategies for this species.APVV-22-0365 Význam reprodukčných systémov, hybridizácie a symbiotickej asociácie pre evolúciu a prežívanie cievnatých rastlín v prostredí skalných biotopov

Roč. 11, 2-3 (2024), s. 112-129.Evropský zatýkací rozkaz - minulost, přítomnost a budoucnost. V rámci představeného příspěvku se budeme zaobírat evropským zatýkacím rozkazem jako trestněprávním nástrojem, který je založen na presumpci vzájemné důvěry mezi členskými státy, jež stojí jako klíčové východisko zásady vzájemného uznávání. Z retrospektivního hlediska bude ukázáno, že EZR prošel postupem času několika turbulentními vlnami. Jedna z klíčových otázek se bude týkat situace, jestli je možné ignorovat EZR z důvodu rizika nerespektování základních práv a svobod jednotlivců. Pro futuro se bude vhodné zamyslet nad (ne)potřebou a (ne)zbytností modernizace mechanismu EZR, a to nejen z formálního hlediska přechodu z rámcového nařízení na směrnici, ale i materiální tak, aby více odpovídal požadavkům současné ochrany základních lidských práv a svobod. Příspěvek je rozdělen do dvou kapitol, kterým předchází úvodní pojednání a uzavírá resumé. První kapitola pojednává o EZR z pohledu retrospekce, přes současný stav až k budoucímu vývoji. Druhá kapitola se zabývá polemikou nad potřebou a nezbytností reformace EZR. Příspěvek má za cíl poukázat na turbulentní vývoj EZR s hledáním odpovědi, jestli je zapotřebí reformace či modernizace EZR
Социолингвистические аспекты гендерно-(не)аффективного языка в английском и словацком языках (на англ.)

Vladikavkaz : Severo-osetinskij gosudarstvennyj universitet imeni Kosta Levanoviča Chetagurova, 2024. ISSN 2079-6021. Č. 2 (2024), s. 245-252.The paper dwells upon the study of sociological and linguistic aspects of gender-(in)sensitive language in English and Slovak. Gender stereotypes and their consequences in society, culture, and language are presented as a central theme, therefore in the initial chapter, the paper outlines gender socialisation and gender stereotypes in behaviour in general. The traditional division of roles in society influences the division of spheres in which both genders used to be realised: a public sphere for men and a private sphere for wom- en. One way to achieve gender balance in society is using gender-sensitive policy through gender-sensitive language. Gender-insensitive language is most evident in the use of generic masculine, where the masculine gender is preferred when addressing or titling people. Similarly, the use of the masculine gender is predominant when referring to persons, under which both men and women are generally classified according to professions, functions and relationships. The aim of this paper is to highlight the declining tendencies of gender insensitive language on the one hand, as well as some persistent tendencies of the predominance of the masculine element in language on the other. So, the core of the paper is focused on a quantitative and qualitative analysis of ex- pressions beginning with lexical morphemes “man” and “woman”. Our research revealed that there is still a strong dominance of the masculine element in terms of both quantity and quality. Nevertheless, one positive tendency may be observed in recent years as there are new tendencies to replace masculine nominal expres- sions with their collective equivalents addressed both to male and female audiences

S. 126-133.Príspevok sa zameriava na problematiku Školských klubov detí, kde na základe kvalitatívnej metódy „Focus groups“ zisťuje ako súčasné deti vnímajú význam pohybu a s ním súvisiace pohybové aktivity pre zdravie a zdravý životný štýl a cez dotazník analyzuje ako vychovávatelia v Školských kluboch detí realizujú a smerujú výchovu mimo vyučovania v kontexte rozvoja pohybu a pohybových aktivít pre posilnenie zdravého životného štýlu detí. Výskum sa realizoval na 68 deťoch vo veku od 8-10 rokov a 19 vychovávateľov z Školských klubov detí z okresu Prievidza. Zistenia prinášajú zaujímavé informácie o aktuálnom poznatkoch detí o pojmoch zdravie, pohyb a pohybové aktivity. Výskum potvrdil, že deti už v tomto veku si tieto atribúty plne uvedomujú. Zdravie považujú za najdôležitejšiu vec v živote, vyjadrujú ho najmä slovami život, šťastný život, pohoda a za zdravých sa považujú najmä vtedy, keď nemajú žiadnu chorobu a cítia sa dobre. Pozitívne vnímame skutočnosť, že oslovené deti si intenzívne spájajú pojem pohyb s pojmom zdravie, zdravý životný štýl. Vychovávatelia tejto oblasti výchovy venujú dostatok priestoru. Najobľúbenejšou a najžiadanejšou pohybovou činnosťou detí sú spontánne pohybové aktivity, ktoré by najradšej chceli realizovať na školskom dvore. Ak by nechodili do Školského klubu detí, tak by najradšej pohybovú aktivity realizovali s kamarátmi. Vychovávatelia majú snahu deti pozitívne motivovať a do činností v Školskom klube detí zaraďovať také aktivity, ktoré deťom prinášajú radosť z pohybu

S. 78-85.Настоящая статья представляет материал, находящийся на грани размышлений автора о ценностях в жизни человека, формирующих его мировоззрение с раннего детства, размышлений о литературе, выполняющей специфическую функцию носителя прекрасного в жизни индивида, а также передающей читателю определенный ценностный спектр, и размышлений об Иване Сергеевиче Шмелеве (1873-1950), в литературном творчестве которого отражен спектр ценностей русского человека. Таким образом, возникает триада ценности – литература – творчество конкретного писателя, на примере которой автор пытается показать линию, где отдельные ее элементы не функционируют самостоятельно, а наоборот, выступают как взаимосвязанные и взаимовлияющие друг на друга. Цель автора данной статьи – попытаться создать пространство для подобного рода размышлений и показать такую взаимосвязь вышеупомянутых трех элементов в рамках художественной литературы.UGA-03-PDS-2024 Axiologické aspekty v próze Ivana Sergejeviča Šmeľova
