No full textIn: Acta sociopathologica : the contemporary topics in social pathology and social pedagogy : proceedings of the Institute of Social Studies, Faculty of Education, University of Hradec Králové. 8. 1. vyd. Hradec Králové : Gaudeamus, 2025. ISBN 978-80-7435-942-2. Pp. 21-37.In this review study, we emphasize the importance of the role of social pedagogues in schools across various countries, including Slovakia. The aim of the review is to use a comparative approach to highlight the potential utilization of social pedagogues' work in schools. The study indicates that social pedagogical activities are common in many countries and emerging in others. It maps significant regional differences in the goals, status, and functions of social pedagogues. The primary mission of social pedagogy is seen in the inclusion of individuals or groups of intact students or students with special educational needs (SEN). Preventive social pedagogical activities are focused on combating social exclusion, guiding students, raising awareness, and promoting democratic education. The study demonstrates the significant importance of social pedagogy in schools, particularly in preventing segregation and exclusion of students

Choosing the right close-range technology for measuring DBH in fast-growing trees plantations
No full textIn: Trees, forests and people. Amsterdam : Elsevier B.V., 2025. ISSN 2666-7193. No. 19 (2025), pp. 1-10.Recently, the cultivation of fast-growing tree (FGT) plantations has gained importance due to the growing energy and climate crisis. FGT plantations have the potential to reduce carbon footprints and lower greenhouse gas emissions by utilization of local renewable energy sources. Effective monitoring of above-ground biomass (AGB) is crucial for the successful management of these plantations. Standard methods for estimating AGB rely on easily measurable parameters, such as Diameter at Breast Height (DBH) and tree height, which are highly correlated with AGB. Traditional methods for measuring DBH include measuring tapes and calipers; however, these techniques can be labor-intensive, time-consuming, and limited when assessing large areas. Innovative approaches, such as photogrammetry, terrestrial laser scanning (TLS), mobile laser scanning (MLS), and iPhone LiDAR scanning, can complement these traditional methods by generating point clouds that can be used for extracting dendrometric parameters. This study evaluates the effectiveness of TLS (RIEGL VZ-1000), MLS (Stonex X120 GO), iPhone LiDAR (iPhone 13 Pro MAX), and terrestrial photogrammetry (iPhone 13 Pro MAX) for estimating DBH in a Paulownia plantation. Each technology has limitations: while TLS offers high accuracy, it is also expensive and time-consuming. Similarly, MLS is relatively costly. On the other hand, iPhone LiDAR and terrestrial photogrammetry are more affordable alternatives; however, the iPhone LiDAR has a limited scanning range, and photogrammetry requires considerable time and expertise for data collection and processing. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate these technologies based on their accuracy in DBH estimation, ease of use, data collection, processing time, and cost within the ideal conditions of a Paulownia plantation (characterized by the absence of understory, level ground, and uniform tree shape and spacing). The aim was to determine whether traditional methods could be replaced with more efficient, quicker, easier, and cost-effective alternatives. Results indicated that TLS, MLS, and photogrammetry provided similar DBH estimation accuracies, with root mean square error (RMSE) values between 0.7 and 0.72 cm and relative RMSE values between 2.87 % and 2.95 %. In contrast, the iPhone LiDAR was the least accurate, with an RMSE of 1.7 cm and an rRMSE of 6.96 %. This study demonstrates that all evaluated technologies offer sufficient accuracy for DBH estimation, although TLS and MLS capture additional parameters at a higher cost. Therefore, TLS is impractical for DBH estimation in plantation environments due to its high cost, time, and labor demands. While less expensive, terrestrial photogrammetry also requires significant time investment and operator expertise. Despite its cost, MLS achieved the best results among all the evaluated technologies and proved to be the fastest and relatively simple. If cost is a concern, the best solution for DBH estimation in an FGT plantation environment would be iPhone LiDAR scanning. It represents the most affordable option with satisfactory accuracy and ease of use.APVV-20-0391 Monitoring lesných porastov v trojdimenzionálnom priestore a čase pomocou inovatívnych prístupov blízkeho dosahu

Exploration and Deconstruction of Correlation Cycles in Multidimensional Datasets
No full textIn: Technologies. Basel : Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2025. ISSN 2227-7080. Vol. 13, no. 2 (2025), pp. 1-19.Correlation analysis is one of the most prolific statistical methods used in data analysis problems, mining of knowledge focused on relationships of attributes in large datasets, and in various predictive tasks utilizing statistical, machine learning, and deep learning models. This approach to the analysis of functional relationships in multidimensional datasets is commonly used in conjunction with visual analysis approaches, which offer novel context for the relationships in data and clarify the results presented in large correlation matrices. One of such visualization methods uses graphical models called correlation graphs and chains, which visualize individual direct and indirect relationships between pairs of attributes in a dataset of interest as a graph structure, where vertices of the graph represent attributes of the dataset and edges between vertices represent the correlation of these attributes. This work focuses on the definition, identification, and exploration of so-called correlation cycles, which can be—through their deconstruction—used as an approach to lower error values in regression tasks. After the implementation of the correlation cycle identification and deconstruction, the proposed concept is evaluated on predictive analysis tasks in the context of three benchmarking datasets from the engineering field—the Sensor dataset, Superconductivity dataset, and Energy Farm dataset. The results obtained in this study show that when using simple, explainable regressors, the method utilizing deconstructed correlation cycles reaches a lower error rate in 83.3% of regression cases compared to the same regression models without the cycle incorporation
