Published: December 2018

In accordance with the objectives of the grant project no. IGA_PdF_2015_007 called Puberty - Sex education system in the Czech and Chinese education we introduce input on the issue of interaction between teacher and pupil. Here we see as fundamental building block for the adoption of the partnership status of the two main actors of the educational process and intervene as barriers to communication in specific issues such as sex education. By the presentation of paper we would like to highlight the timeliness issue of teacher-pupil interaction at primary school because we have to use the targeted socialization of young people In the process of teacher-pupil interaction we could see the obvious and unquestionable importance of being a teacher. The pupil is indeed perceived as an active part of the educational process, but the purpose of primary school (among other things) is to equip the pupil self-assessment skills. Through the contribution we would like to introduce the quality of problems in the real environment at Czech primary schools. Data was gathered from the implementation of controlled observation in 50 classes at primary schools and will be processed through behavioral technique by J. Pelikan, with answers to research questions will operationalized the above-mentioned research project. Keywords: Czech environment; primary school; sex education; communication
Current opinions of Czech teachers about the inclusive form of education
Authors: Smelova Eva , Petrova Alena , Ludikova Libuse 
Published: December 2018

The current curriculum for elementary education in the Czech Republic allows inclusion of pupils with special educational needs in mainstream schools. In spite of the fact that today the right of all persons to education is generally accepted, the inclusive form of education frequently raises various doubts in both the lay and professional community. Various concerns stem from inaccurate ideas of this form of education and insufficient information, particularly in relation to successful delivery of inclusion. In some countries, such as in Great Britain or Finland, the experience with the inclusive form of education is much longer and is mostly positive, in our country however, the concept of inclusion is gaining ground relatively slowly. The quality of educating both the healthy population and pupils with special educational needs is influenced by a number of factors. One of the most significant roles in the educational process is taken by the educator. The educator’s role is irreplaceable and is decisive for the degree of success of the development of a child personality. All changes in the educational approaches are related not only to a well thought-out theoretical background but particularly to comprehensive readiness of the principal educational actors, i.e. the teachers. To accomplish this task however, the highest possible amount of information is required. To acquire this information was one of the aims of a research study carried out in the previous year 2014.

Published: December 2018

This work presents the first results of a research project seeking to build a simulation model able to reproduce the differences of Italian students’ performance at regional level. A preliminary qualitative cause-and-effect model defines the main variable involved in the inter-generational skill formation processes, as well as their interplay with the job market context and the triggering of motivational forces for new skill acquisition. Such model was designed according to a system dynamics perspective, considered suitable for capturing the interrelatedness of key variables and for providing useful simulation tools to conduct and communicate future scenario analyses.

Published: December 2018

The aim of this study is to determine the acute effects in sodium, potassium and chlorine levels in the plasma concentration of sportsmen in training types of maximal strength (MS), power endurance (PE) and interval run (IR), to find out the mineral requirements of professional sportsmen. The study included 24 male professional basketball players with the average of 22 years. In order to examine the effects of different training models, participants were divided into three groups (n=8 in each group); maximal strength (MS), power endurance (PE) and interval run (IR). In blood samples collected after different types of training, in IR and MS while Na and Cl levels were increasing, K levels decreased, only the increase at NA level in IR found out significant. While in PE, all of parameters (Na, K and Cl levels) were increasing, only the increase at C1 level observed significant. Besides, Na and C1 levels increased after each of the three training type (IR, MS and PE), while the K level (PE) was increasing in the training group, decreased in (MS) and (IR) group.

Entrepreneurship Education in Higher Education Institutions: Estonian Case
Authors: Raudsaar Mervi , Kaseorg Merike 
Published: December 2018

The European Union (EU) faces the daunting challenge of emerging from the crisis and putting economies back on a sustainable growth path – there is still need of innovative, well-educated, and entrepreneurial citizens who have the spirit and inquisitiveness to think in new ways, and the courage to meet and adapt to the challenges. Entrepreneurship education (EE) is much broader concept than entrepreneurship as a practice of trade; it includes the entrepreneurship key competence that refers to an individual’s ability to turn ideas into action. Educational institutions stress the need to offer opportunities to increase entrepreneurial skills development (Bird, 2002). EE in European higher education institutions (HEI) is experiencing a growth; but there are still weaknesses (Varblane & Mets, 2010; Kyro & Carrier, 2005): for example, teaching of entrepreneurship for non-business industries is not sufficiently integrated in HEI’s curricula; education provides little training in entrepreneurship. In the article authors map and analyse the situation of EE in Estonian HEIs. Authors use classification (as proposed in Twaalfhoven, Suen & Prats, 2001), which distinguished three types of approach to entrepreneurship programme development: a) the research-oriented model; b) the “consulting” model; c) the teaching/practice-oriented student development model. Authors use case-study approach and for data-collecting method interview is used. Findings: EE should be more experiential and interdisciplinary; entrepreneurship should be the third career choice for students and be part of curricula; the EE should be supported by ecosystem, teaching methods must change, etc. Also we have recommendations what are implemented in developing special program of EU structural foundations.

The accelerated pace of political, socio-economic and technological development requires qualitative changes in the education sector. Today is an issue about the need to train highly qualified personnel that meet the requirements of the XXI century, integrates education and scientific knowledge. Therefore, the improvement of philological education will require an integrated system of study and practical issues of philology development, their consideration in the new aspects of the humanities, which imply an active search for specific mechanisms and methods for their compatibility in line with global trends in the development and preservation of national priorities. Development of scientific research in the context of world philology allows researchers to solve essential linguistic, literary, scientific and methodological problems. Developed in the field of philology education programs should be aimed at creating a scientific and educational environment of a new type to improve the quality of philological research and learning languages. Its main substantive areas are to promote the growth of scientific and educational potential of philological and associated sciences in a single information space, creation and modernization of modern quality management systems, new educational programs and learning technologies, integration of education, science and innovation. Further improvement of philology education is a major problem, the solution of which depends largely on the development of philology, the degree of relevance of society, finally, the optimal solution to the problems of higher philological education.

Published: December 2018

This article introduces a parallel neural network approach implemented over Graphic Processing Units (GPU) to solve a facial recognition problem, which consists in deciding where the face of a person in a certain image is pointing. The proposed method uses the parallel capabilities of GPU in order to train and evaluate a neural network used to solve the abovementioned problem.
The experimental evaluation demonstrates that a significant reduction on computing times can be obtained allowing solving large instances in reasonable time. Speedup greater than 8 is achieved when contrasted with a sequential implementation and classification rate superior to 85 % is also obtained.
Using distributed local information to improve global performance in Grids
Authors: Verghelet Paula , Fernández Slezak Diego , Turjanski Pablo , Mocskos Esteban 
Published: December 2018

Grid computing refers to the federation of geographically distributed and heterogeneous computer resources. These resources may belong to different administrative domains, but are shared among users. Every grid presents a key component responsible for obtaining, distributing, indexing and archiving information about the configuration and state of services and resources. Optimizing tasks assignations and user requests to resources require the maintenance of up-to-date information about the grid.
In large scale Grids, the dynamics of the resource information cannot be captured using a static hierarchy and relying in manual configuration and administration. It is necessary to design new policies for discovery and propagation of resource information. There is a growing interest in the interaction of Grid Computing and the Peer to Peer (P2P) paradigm, pushing towards scalable solutions.
In this work, starting from the Best-Neighbor policy based on previously published ideas, the reasons behind its lack of performance are explored. A new improved Best-Neighbor policy are proposed and analyzed, comparing it with Random, Hierarchical and Super- Peer policies.

Published: December 2018

<span lang="EN-IN">Inflation means a persistent change in the price level of goods and services in an economy. It is generally measured in the consumer price index (CPI) or retail price index (RPI). Inflation reduces the purchasing power of a country's currency, as we need more units of currency over time to buy the same goods and services. The current empirical paper entitled “relationship between inflation and stock market evidence from selected global stock markets” have been undertaken with an intention to investigate the relationship between inflation and stock returns of the chosen economies. In order to realize the stated objectives, the researchers have collected the monthly data 2000 to 2017 for selected indices. In the first phase, log returns were computed and it has been tested for the existence of unit root in the distribution. In the second phase, we ran Pearson correlation coefficient for the collected data to find out the association between the inflation and stock returns. Majority of the chosen indices recorded a negative </span><span lang="EN-IN">coefficient with the dependent variable. </span><span lang="EN-IN">For India, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Chile, China, France, Ireland we found a negative coefficient. However, Brazil </span><span lang="EN-IN">Indonesia, Japanese, Mexico, Spanish and Turkey reported a positive coefficient. </span><span lang="EN-IN">Current study clearly throws light on the effect of inflation on the stock market returns, therefore; it can help the market participants such as traders, fund managers, and investors to make good portfolio decisions based on the information about expected inflation and unexpected inflation. The study confirms that there exists a significant relationship between the stock returns and inflation for Australian, Belgium, Canadian, Chilean, Chinese, French and Irish stock benchmark indices. Firms can take this one has a clue to adjust their reported profits by raising the prices. The policymakers can employ contractionary policy to reduce the supply of money by offering a low interest rate on t bills, increasing the interest rates (bank rate policy) and increasing the cash reserve ratios which in turn reduces the lending capacity of the banks.</span>

Authors: Kulshrestha Sony 
Published: December 2018

<p>Who is a consumer, always creates a new debate? A person who avails/consumes the services in exchange of the consideration is a consumer according to the given definition of consumer under Consumer Protection Act, 1986. This definition never includes any commercial activities or any re-sale or without fee transaction. We on daily basis face various MRP related issues, poor quality of products, adulteration, no bill issues and many more. Some of us raise a voice against these unfair practices but number of us always keep silence and take everything so easy. The reason behind this may be nobody has time or knowledge, when and where to proceed. The right of consumer protection only needs the awareness; awareness about the provisions, process, forums and a fair counselling. Though government has initiated number of awareness schemes which includes the advertisements on television, newspapers and in magazines, skits, workshops and various poster making competitions, still the consumer exploitation continues. In this research paper by using an empirical and doctrinal technique of research the researcher wants to highlight the area where the law is lacking its enforcement to protect the interest of the consumer. The researcher also draws an attention about consumer rights, various grievance redressal agencies, who and how can file a complaint, the jurisdiction and the format of filing a complaint. </p>
