Umiarkowana pochwała klasycyzmu
Authors: Nowak Witold 
Published: May 2018

Artykuł jest poświęcony relacji między pięknem i umiarem w estetyce klasycyzmu i romantyzmu. Dobierając przykłady, staram się pokazać, że umiar był kluczowym pojęciem estetyki klasycznej, a także sztuki życia w dobie antyku. W drugiej części artykułu traktuję klasycyzm i romantyzm jako paradygmatyczne postawy życiowe i staram się ocenić ich przydatność w warunkach życia współczesnego.Słowa klucze
Minimalizm życiowy – umiar i substytut zdrowego rozsądku we współczesnym społeczeństwie konsumpcyjnym
Authors: Wąż-Bigos Paulina 
Published: May 2018

Minimalizm życiowy jest współczesnym trendem, który zaistniał w odpowiedzi na współczesny konsumpcjonizm. Obecnie staje się wyrazem wolności i świadomego życia oraz eliminowania z niego tego, co niepotrzebne. Esencją minimalistycznego stylu życia staje się umiar i zdrowy rozsądek, dzięki czemu zyskujemy więcej wolności, więcej czasu i miejsca na to, co jest naprawdę dla nas ważne w życiu. Wydaje się, że w życiu minimalisty każdy przedmiot powinien mieć swoje przeznaczenie i konkretną funkcję, oczywiście w przeciwieństwie do konsumpcjonizmu, który z kolei polega na zdobywaniu dóbr materialnych bez odniesienia do rzeczywistych potrzeb. Jednak zauważa się, że każdego dnia wzbudza się w nas fałszywą potrzebę posiadania czegoś, co jest nam zupełnie niepotrzebne i zaczynamy niekończącą się pogoń za zdobyciem nowych przedmiotów i dopasowaniem swojego wizerunku do aktualnej mody. Należy pamiętać, że minimalizm niekoniecznie sprowadza się do tego, aby wszystkiego było mniej, wręcz przeciwnie – można dzięki niemu wiele zyskać. W referacie zastanowię się nad zaletami i wadami życiowego minimalizmu.

Published: May 2018

Selection of launch
vehicle for a geostationary satellite is an important decision for satellite
operators. Depending on only to the cost of the launcher may result unexpected
consequences. Lifetime of the satellite is determined by the orbit parameters
of the launcher. Success probability of the launcher can be deduced
statistically by previous launches or using the insurance rate of the market
for the selected launcher. Insurance
rate will be used in this study, which is also added to the cost of the
satellite project besides satellite and launcher costs. Design life time of
communication satellites are currently 15 years, means that manufacturer
warrant the operation of the satellite for 15 years via performance incentive
or warranty payback mechanisms. But satellites continue to generate revenues
during their maneuver lifetime, which is more than 15 years. Expected value
analysis is a powerful tool to include probabilistic nature of satellite
projects. Satellite and launch costs, insurance rate and lifetime parameters
will be utilized in expected value analysis to be able to select the best
launcher for a given satellite program.
IDENTITY EDUCATION
Authors: Juszczyk-Rygallo Joanna 
Published: May 2018

Family was the basis of socialization in traditional society. Older generation transmitted values to younger generation. Individuals accepted the social roles defined in the society. Nowadays, the socio-cultural conditions changed, which released individuals from the social destiny, but also shook their belief in traditional values. Now, children try to eliminate this loss of sense of identity through interactions with surroundings. However, they always look for more attractive development environment, therefore their interactions concern rather the virtual world than the real one. All personal relationships are weakened in virtual society. The influence of primary environments (family, neighborhood, peers) is marginalized. Thus, it is more and more difficult to achieve relatively stable points of reference – role models – which enable children to find who they want to be. Currently children search them beyond primary social structures, mostly within the scope of virtual communities. Thus, the most important role model for a child is the Internet with its resources, which sometimes does not support normal development. Therefore, defining oneself by the child is more reflexive and subjective. Hence, socialization of children becomes individual, personal and unique. Consequently, there is a need to establish a new space for socialization – the process of identity education. This article is an analytical description of the complex socialization of a child in the contemporary world. Against this background, it attempts to characterize conditions necessary to base this process on identity education as an act of self‑knowledge.
LEARNING FROM THE KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERTISE OF OTHERS

Published: May 2018

There is a broad consensus that the digital revolution is moving towards the reshaping of traditional professions and jobs. The key idea emerging from expert opinion is that continuing education and learning are essential to help people stay employable in the labor force, and this idea is behind most of the programs and projects co-funded by the European Union over the last decade. Experts are also persuaded that education systems should be adapted to prepare individuals for the changing labor market, and that technological advances will offer new widely available ways to access education. From this perspective, new forms of learning that harness digital technology should be explored.Recently, we have been seeing an increasing interest from researchers in the engagement of connected people in initiatives and processes with social relevance, such as crowdfunding, crowdsourcing, and crowd sensing. Crowd learning is a new topic whose borders are not still well-defined.This paper focuses on internet social learning and crowd learning, which appear to be closely related to two new topical fields of investigation: ubiquitous learning and smart and connected cities. It will present some preliminary results from an ongoing research on how interconnected citizen can use, share, remix, and co-construct learning and cultural resources.

Published: May 2018

One of the main tasks of the human-resources (HR) department is the qualitative management of personnel, which is the basis for effective work of the organization. The paper presents models of personnel management based on the theory of latent variables. Research objective is to use the Rasch model for assessing latent variables to evaluate the competence of employees and their suitability for certain positions and also quality control of their work.Three problems of personnel management are considered.Organization of qualitative selection of candidates for vacancies by objective assessment of the degree of professional suitability of candidates with a view to selecting the best employees. Multilateral monitoring as the quality of performance of duties of each employee on the one hand, and the efficiency of the work of the whole team on the other. A dynamic comparison is made between the quality of performance of their duties in different periods of time. Effective appointments of specific employees to certain positions. Based on the criteria of the employee's suitability for certain positions, the integral degree of the employee's suitability for each vacancy is calculated. In addition, the model makes it possible to assess the degree of influence of the criteria on the evaluation of employees.The models proposed in the paper allow obtaining estimates on a linear interval scale, which can be translated into any other scale, for example, probabilistic. Estimates do not depend on a set of criteria and the set of evaluated employees.

Published: May 2018

Agritourism is one of the most popular forms of tourism practised in rural areas. It fulfils a number of functions, including economic, social, health-related and educational one. Agritourism offer is addressed to all age and social groups. Among children and youth agritourism above all serves an educational and training purpose. In these two processes agritourism farms within the All-Polish Network of Educational Homesteads are particularly important. Educational programmes implemented as part of "Educational Homesteads" are held in the forms of educational and practical classes. The subjects of the classes addressed to children and youth include issues related to regional history and tradition, environment protection, ecology, plant and animal breeding, cuisine, (herbal) medicine, geography, geology and the educational cycle entitled vanishing professions.
HIGHER EDUCATION IN TOURISM FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE LATVIAN TOURISM INDUSTRY
Authors: Veliverronena Linda , Grīnfelde Ilze 
Published: May 2018

Several Latvian higher education organisations provide both academic and professional study programmes in tourism from college up to master level. Frequently educators stress that programme's content corresponds to tourism industry needs; however, tourism representatives describe higher education as reactive to the needs rather than proactive. The aim of the study is to explore tourism labour market needs in Latvia and to analyse the employability of graduates and the quality of higher education from the perspective of tourism sector stakeholders in the state and municipal, non-governmental and private sectors. Interviews with informants from small and medium size organizations were selected as data collection method and data were coded and analysed by using the method of content analysis. Results reveal that cooperation between higher education institutions and the tourism sector is insufficient as education partially responds to the needs of the industry. The industry stakeholders suggest strengthening students` skills in sales, cooperation and networking and creative experience design. A data analysis reveals that personal traits and self-efficacy play a more significant role than formal education in the process of staff recruitment. Tourism educators should engage in closer cooperation with the tourism sector to find out needs proactively, reconsider study methods and use a more hands-on approach – improvement of the supply of education does not demand fundamental study content changes but rather transformation of study methods – assessing the effectiveness of existing methods and introducing novel teaching ways.
ANTHROPOMETRIC CHARACTERISTICS AND ANAEROBIC POWER OF LOWER LIMBS AND THEIR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RACE TIME IN FEMALE SPEED CLIMBERS

Published: May 2018

Previous research indicates that high results in speed climbing are determined by a high level of explosive strength and muscle power in the lower limbs. However, a literature review shows that no studies have analysed women practicing this climbing discipline. Therefore, the main goal of the study was to assess the level of development of physique and the level of explosive strength and muscle power of the lower limbs of female speed climbers at a representative level. Furthermore, an attempt was made to analyse the relationships between the variables studied and race time in female speed climbers.The study included 5 female players (speed climbers) who were members of the national team in 2016. The measurements were made during the Polish National Team Camp. The analysis was based on the results of the fastest races expressed in seconds. The measurements and indices computed in the study included body height, body weight, lean body mass, BMI and ponderal index. The assessment of the power of the lower limbs was carried out using two jump tests: CMJ with arm swing and CMJ. Power was expressed relative to body weight and to lean body mass.The highest relationships with race time were recorded for body height (r = 0.94, p 0.05), body weight (r = 0.96, p 0.01) and lean body mass (LBM) ( r = 0.98, p 0.01). Strong but statistically insignificant relationships were recorded between race time and power indicators of the lower limbs (correlations above r = -0.66).In female speed climbing, race time can be determined by the level of physique. Smaller body size can allow female climbers to perform faster and achieve better times in speed climbing. It can be suggested that in female speed climbing, a high level of maximum alactic anaerobic capacity of the lower limbs is an important factor that affects race time. The results of our own research suggest that in female speed climbing, specific body characteristics may to a greater extent determine the race time compared to anaerobic maximum power of the lower limbs.

Authors: Taurina Agrita , Engele Zane 
Published: May 2018

Introduction. Forming the questions, the ability to listen to different opinions, to evaluate the problem and looking for different ways of solving it, to agree upon a commonly accepted opinion – these all are daily necessities for each person. According to the skills of a child's dialogue speech, these issues can be either more successfully or less effectively solved. During the communication process the teacher and parents can demonstrate to a child an interested, supportive position that ensures the implementation of the values of human pedagogy and develops the socio-linguistic growth of the child's personality. The empirical study examines the techniques of pedagogical work in problem-solving situations of everyday life by using productive questions. Development both of dialogue speech and successful negotiation process are closely related to adult skills that a child often imitates, and environmental conditions.Results, conclusions. Solving negotiations about daily situations, the ability to ask and find the best possible solution during the communication process with a child can ensure a successful acquisition of the Latvian language and the child's ability to implement the dialogue speech more successfully.

Authors: Trinite Baiba 
Published: May 2018

Voice disorders restrict daily activity and impact the quality of life. The purpose of the study was to find out the impact of voice disorders on functional, physical and emotional condition of teachers with and without self-reported voice disorders. Two hundred thirty-five teachers with self-reported voice problems (Voice disorder group) and 174 teachers with no voice problems (Control group) in anamnesis completed Latvian version of Voice Handicap Index-30 (VHI-30). Teachers with voice disorders demonstrated higher median scores in VHI-30 total scale and functional, physical, and emotional subscales (P0.001). In teachers, voice disorders have a more significant impact on their physical comfort and have a smaller impact on their emotional sphere. 76.4% of the voice disorder group respondents acquired the total score within 12 to 33 points. In the control group, 75.3% of teachers had the VHI score of up to 17 points. Conclusions: In teacher population of Latvia mild voice disorders are encountered more often. Activity and participation in everyday life situations are limited in teachers with voice disorders. Voice disorders mostly impact physical comfort in teachers.
MACHIAVELLIANISM AND PERSONAL TRAITS IN YOUNG AGE
Authors: Kurapova Irina , Lezhnina Larisa 
Published: May 2018

The article is devoted to one of the vital problems of modern society, the problem of Machiavellianism. It is noted that manipulative forms of interaction between people become common, and it can lead to a tendency to use the manipulation by an increasing number of people and, in its turn, to the loss of openness, sincerity, and congruence of communication.The results of an empirical study of Machiavellianism and its interrelationship with personality traits in young age are discussed. The study is based on a dispositional approach to the person, suggesting that it consists of reliable, stable, interrelated elements (properties, traits) that determine its internal essence and behavior. Differences in the behavior of people are explained by the differences in the intensity of personality traits. The article shows that adolescence is one of the most sensitive ways to consolidate manipulative strategies in the behavior of a person. The obtained results prove the existence of a interrelationship between Machiavellianism and a number of personality traits, according to the theory of R.B. Cattell. Among such personality traits are communicative (closed), regulative (low normative, low self-control behavior), emotional (rigidity) and intellectual (radicalism). Knowledge of the personal profile of a personality prone to Machiavellianism in adolescence will allow continuing the study within the framework of studying ways of preventing extreme manifestations of manipulative behavior and widening the range of constructive patterns of youth behavior.

The purpose of the study. To determine the main indicators of the effectiveness of IVF programs in over-weight and obese patients. Based on the Research Institute of obstetrics, gynecology, and reproductology D.O. Ott, we conducted an analysis involving women aged 18–39 years who were treated in the IVF program in the department of assistive technologies in infertility treatment. The study included 97 patients who met the selection criteria. The patients were categorized into three groups: group I, 33 obese women (body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30.8 kg/m2); group II, 34 overweight women (BMI = 25 to 29.9 kg/m2); and the control group, 30 normal weight patients (BMI = 18 to 24.9 kg/m2). As a result, the efficiency of ART programs decreased significantly in women of group I, owing to the weaker response of the ovaries to the stimulation of superovulation, which causes an increased gonadotropin demand to stimulate ovulation.
