Awareness of families regarding the methods of speech therapy prevention
Full text linkTITLE: Awareness of families regarding the methods of speech therapy prevention AUTHOR: Monika Hroudová DEPARTMENT: Department of Special pedagogy SUPERVISOR: Mgr. Lucie Durdilová ANNOTATION: The aim of the theoretical part of this bachelor's thesis is to describe basic concepts related to the prevention of speech impediments, by using current literature, existing knowledge and research, characterize the most common forms of comminication disorder that usually occur in preschool children and inform about ways of how to prevent speech disorders, mainly primary ones (How can parents prevent the occurrence of speech defects among their children from an earliest possible age). Awareness of parents of the possibilities to prevent speech defects, of child's speech development and of thequality of related literature, will be determinated by a questionnare, this means a quantitative research method. Questionnare will be focused on parents with children between 3-4 years old

No full textFinal Death of the Author: Creativity in the Age of Information Society
Full text linkPretpostavimo da je kreativnost rezultat unutarnjeg dijaloga kreativnog pojedinca (autora) iz kojega nastaje nova informacija. No kako onda razumjeti kreativnost danas, kada je naša individualna svijest proširena elektronskim medijima i telemetrijski uključena u “globalni mozak”? Sveprisutnost informacijske i komunikacijske tehnologije omogućuje nam da stvaramo nove informacije brže negoli ikad prije i pohranjujemo ih u forme umjetne memorije, u koje može svatko ući. S obzirom na to čini se da je pojam autorstva prevladan, a unutarnji dijalog zamijenjen intersubjektivnim dijalogom. Držeći se teorije medija Viléma Flussera i Marshalla McLuhana, problematiziram novu paradigmu kreativnosti kakva se razvija u dobu informacijske tehnologije.If we assume that creativity is a result of the inner dialogue of creative individual (author), during which he creates an improbable combination of elements (i.e. new information), how can we comprehend creativity today, after we technologically extended our individual consciousness and connected it into a “global brain” via telematics? Prevalence of information and communications technology enables us to create more new information than ever, and allows us to store it in artificial memory, where it could be reused by almost anyone. In the age of ICT, author seems to be superfluous and the inner dialogue has been replaced by interpersonal dialogue. Taken into consideration Vilém Flusser’s and Marshall McLuhan’s theory of media, I will try to problematize new paradigm of creativity, as it is disclosing in information society

The politics of goodness
No full textMonika Świerkosz writes of the play The Triumph of the Will by Monika Strzępka, based on a script by Paweł Demirski (Stary Theatre in Krakow, premiere: 31.12.2016). The author compares the performance with the duo’s previous works. She analyzes the various characters, passengers of an airplane that has crashed on a desert island. The survivors break into groups: some of them tell optimistic stories, trying to shake up those who are plunged in sadness. Świerkosz believes that the artists are putting forward a vision of the political based on an "instinctive emotional ethic of compassion." She praises the production for its humor and energy
The work of Monika Pagneux
No full textDeposited with permission of the author. © 2001 Helen Vivien Sandercoe.In the last fifty years, there has been a concern in the theatre world especially in Europe, about how to train actors to be open and responsive. One of the most respected and well-known teachers in this area is Monika Pagneux who taught for many years in Paris and now aged in her seventies, works as a freelance artist around the world. Her area of expertise is movement for actors. The aim of her work is to develop not only a responsive body but also an open and alive actor who is able to be creative in a disciplined yet risk-taking manner. This thesis is an investigation of the world of Monika Pagneux, including her fundamental principles and platforms of teaching movement for actors. A portrait of her work will be drawn and her influence on other performing arts practitioners. The data comes from three sources: my own field notes based on six weeks of classes in Australia and Paris, additional class notes by a movement expert and ten responses to an open ended questionnaire by former students. Their answers provide insights into the impact of her teaching professionally, in their lives and how they were transformed by her practice
Air and medium temperatures for Alstroemeria 'Atlas' and 'Monika'
Full text link1987 Spring.Covers not scanned.Includes bibliographical references.Alstroemeria cultivars 'Atlas' and 'Monika' were grown in four 25.4 m2 fiberglass-covered greenhouse compartments at the W.D. Holley Plant Environmental Research Center, Colorado State University. Each compartment contained two raised redwood benches subdivided into four 75 x 105 cm plots with buffer zones at either end of the bench, Individual benches had replicated plots of cooled and noncooled substrate treatments. The cooled plots contained seven loops of .625 cm OD Biotherm tubing buried 15 cm beneath the pea gravel surface. A thermostatically-controlled cooling system supplied cold water, upon demand, in an attempt to maintain a medium temperature of 11°C. Compartments were heated to 10° to 11°C during night periods, and the following daytime temperature regimes were established: Compartment A, 14° to 20°C; Compartment B, 20° to 26°C; Compartment C, 23° to 28°C; and Compartment D, 17° to 23°C. A night break was provided with incandescent lamps when natural daylengths were less than 12 hours. Developing cultivar rhizomes were transferred from 10 cm pots to the bench plots on November 18, 1985. The first flower data were taken on February 10, 1986, then collected every other day and summarized weekly during the next 52 weeks. Parameters measured included: stem length, flower grade, and total production. Data were analyzed as a split-split plot design with media treatments randomized within each pair of plots. Total flower production of 'Atlas' in all compartments was 1.6 times as great as 'Monika'. Significantly larger numbers of flower stems were produced in the cooled substrate of compartments A and D. The results provided evidence that the greatest production of 'Atlas' and 'Monika' occurred with average daytime temperatures of 20°C combined with an average medium temperature of 12°C to 14°C. Consequently, the cooled medium treatment coupled with cooler air temperatures allowed production to continue virtually year-round. The warmer daytime temperatures of compartments B and C increased the flower quality. However, the higher production in compartments A and D far outweighed the advantage that warmer temperatures contributed to quality. The flower quality of 'Monika' was considerably less than that of 'Atlas' in all temperature treatments. Warmer daytime temperatures also contributed to longer stems. 'Atlas' and 'Monika' stems from compartment C averaged a maximum of 13 cm longer than those from the remaining compartments. 'Atlas' stems were significantly longer than those of 'Monika' in all compartments. A five week sub-trial was conducted to determine air temperature effects on Alstroemeria inflorescence characteristics. Parameters measured included: number of cymes per stem, cyme length, stem thickness, and number of buds per cyme. Data were analyzed as a split plot design. No significant differences were observed for number of cymes per stem and stem thickness between compartments, although 'Atlas' had thicker stems than 'Monika'. A significant trend toward increasing cyme length with increasing daytime temperature was evident in both cultivars. Significantly more buds were produced on stems of both cultivars in compartment D (i.e., 20°C average day air temperature) compared to all other compartments
