Zdeněk ToldeThe colloquium "Biomaterials and surfaces" focuses on methods for biocompatibility testing and methods for characterization and modification of biomaterials and their surfaces. The goal of this seminar is to inform the participants about fundamental problematic of biomaterials and the recent state of research and development of prostheses or artificial replacements in Czech Republic. At the seminar, participants and students are meeting with the scientific capacities in the field of biomaterials and surfaces (materials engineering, medicine, physics, chemistry, biology) and with the experts from practice (doctors, representatives of leading Czech companies in the industry).Scientific comitee:Doc.

It covered subjects which are partially sub/problems of the Human Machine Interaction and behavior influenced by road traffic, as well results from very distant disciplines.DCIS gathers under one roof the results of the research in many scientific and industrial branches, which are based on safety, transportation, industrial design, medicine or psychology. The part called “safety” gathers in additional approaches of forensic experts and road safety inspectors. The conference was opened to participants coming from areas of basic and/or applied research, forensic experts’ departments, car industries, design and ergonomics, medical research etc.With the half-ten jubilee, this event was composed hand in hand with the original exhibition devoted to 100 years of development of Czech car bodywork focused on cabriolet and coupé style cars. Because of that, besides the standard scientific presentation which papers are included in this issue of AP CTU Proceedings, a portion of historical papers were also presented within a special session giving the attendees an interesting look into the history illustrated with real exhibits on display in a historical court of our faculty building.This issue contains a selection of scientific papers based on presentations talks and posters on display by the occasion of the 5th volume of DCIS, which successfully passed a rigorous review process. The exhibition itself is documented with printed commented catalogue in both the Czech and English languages.doc. Ing. Petr Bouchner, Ph.D.chief organizer Scientific and Organizing Committee: doc.

Foreword
No full textIn 2016-2017, as president of the Association of Teacher Educators (ATE), the author introduced the theme "Teacher Educators: Inspiring the Future, Honoring the Past" to focus on the positive contributions of educators and address critical issues such as the national teacher shortage. This initiative sought to highlight the essential role of teachers, encourage more individuals to pursue teaching careers, and advocate for effective public education support, particularly for marginalized students. However, the issues from that period have worsened, with the teacher shortage deepening and the COVID-19 pandemic exposing and amplifying systemic inequities in education. The shift to online learning during the pandemic revealed significant disparities in access to technology and educational resources, disproportionately affecting students of color. In response, the ATE established the Commission for Online Teaching and Learning to support teachers in creating effective online educational environments. This editorial emphasizes the continued importance of supporting teachers and addressing educational inequities to ensure quality education for all students
