Published: December 2023

Представлены результаты самооценки универсальных и профессиональных компетенций, рефлексивной оценки собственной деятельности обучающимися, в образовательном процессе которых были сконструированы и последовательно реализованы продуктивные образовательные технологии на дисциплинах профессионального цикла. Полученные результаты позволяют утверждать, что самооценка студентов показывает позитивную актуальность универсальных компетенций при реализации дисциплин профессионального цикла с использованием продуктивных технологий. Научно обосновано, что применение продуктивных технологий на дисциплинах профессионального цикла позволяет в рамках самооценки студентов компетенций зафиксировать их позитивное состояние, что обогащает педагогическую теорию научной специальности «Общая педагогика, история педагогики и образования» в разделах «Качество образования. Педагогические измерения. Теоретические, методологические основы измерений качества образования» и способствует дальнейшему развитию компетентностного подхода в инженерном образовании. Разработана авторская диагностика проведения самооценки студентов компетенций при реализации дисциплин профессионального цикла с использованием продуктивных технологий. Расширено представление о возможностях самооценки студентов универсальных и профессиональных компетенций на дисциплинах профессионального цикла, реализуемых продуктивными технологиями.
The results of self-assessment of universal and professional competencies, reflexive assessment of their own activities by students in the educational process of which productive educational technologies were designed and consistently implemented in the disciplines of the professional cyccle. The results obtained allow us to assert that students’ self-assessment shows the positive relevance of universal competencies in the implementation of professional cycle disciplines using productive technologies. It is scientifically proved that the use of productive technologies in the disciplines of the professional cycle allows students to fix their positive state within the framework of self-assessment of competencies, which enriches the pedagogical theory of the scientific specialty “General Pedagogy, history of pedagogy and education” in the sections “Quality of education. Pedagogical measurements. Theoretical, methodological foundations for measuring the quality of education” and contributes to the further development of a competence-based approach in engineering education. The author’s diagnostics of self-assessment of students’ competencies in the implementation of disciplines of the professional cycle using productive technologies has been developed. The idea of the possibilities of students’ self-assessment of universal and professional competencies in the disciplines of the professional cycle implemented by productive technologies has been expanded.
Flauto dolce in the Post-War Context of Art Synesthesia
Authors:   Palacký University in Olomouc, Daniel Ladislav 
Published: December 2023

The postwar situation changed the social atmosphere in the whole world. After World War I, the Dadaist movement and surrealism appeared, like after World War II, Arte povera, or Informel. Artists began to deal with new approaches to art. Interest now was taken in its various branches and among the people a desire for artistic creation increased. The period of general postwar euphoria brought new hope, a resolution to create a new society in the best sense of the word, and bring new ideas into education. In this context, Ladislav Daniel entered and introduced his concept of education. After Orff’s and Kodály’s model, Ladislav Daniel also endeavored to improve music education. Zoltán Kodály himself never wrote a complex method of music education but it should be based on his principles. These were adopted by teachers in many countries, including Ladislav Daniel. Ladislav Daniel‘s revolutionary challenge was writing the school for the soprano recorder and later for the alto recorder (flauto dolce). Another foundation of Daniel’s reform of music education was intonation training by method of tonal method of singing, developed from the work of Guido of Arezzo, a remarkable composer and theoretician of music of the Middle Ages.
Music Education in a Small Rural School
Authors:   University of West Bohemia, Bubeníčková Daniela , Slavíková Marie ,   University of West Bohemia
Published: December 2023

The article deals with the issue of small rural schools and the possibilities of teaching music education in these schools. Small rural schools are schools with a small number of classes, where two or three school years are taught simultaneously in one classroom. Most of the time, these schools are established in small villages, at the primary school level. Teaching in small schools has its specificities, some of which can be seen as strengths and some as weaknesses in the teaching process. Today, in many countries, more and more young families are moving to the countryside to raise their children closer to nature. It can therefore be expected that interest in setting up small rural schools will increase. The article introduces the personal experience of the author of the thesis, who teaches all music education classes at a small rural school in the Czech Republic. We present here brief results of a research conducted in the form of a questionnaire among 34 teachers of small-class schools. The conclusions from her research are interpreted by the author of the thesis in such a way as to inspire other teachers of music education in small-class schools and possibly also teachers of full primary schools who are interested in the idea of pupils of different ages working together for a common musical outcome.
Wang Guangqi and Feng Zikai: Two Ways of Appreciating European Art Music in China
Authors:   Charles University in Prague, Chaloupková Lenka , Tichá Adéla ,   Charles University in Prague, Moravčíková Dominika ,   Charles University in Prague
Published: December 2023

This paper focuses on two musical textbooks written by Wang Guangqi 王光祈 (An Outline of the History of Western Music, 1930) and Feng Zikai 丰子恺 (Introduction to Music, 1926). During the 1930s in China, these publications emerged as the dominant genres of literature explaining Western art music: music history and music theory textbooks. The paper examines the influence of German comparative musicology on these notable works. By conducting a comparative analysis of these publications in the context of the themes and values of comparative musicology, the paper seeks to investigate how these influential texts reflect the state of Chinese music culture during the transformative period that followed the May Fourth Movement. The conclusion will summarize the reception of these two influential textbooks at the time of their publication and evaluate their significance in contemporary China.

Published: December 2023

The time of the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent government restrictions, which included a ban on singing in public places and companies, proved to be challenging for choirs in the Czech Republic. When group singing was listed as a high-risk activity that could spread the virus, many choirs had to transfer their choral practices into the virtual space and perform their activities in a novel way. The following survey was initiated by Elvira Gadžijeva from the Department of Music Education at the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice to investigate how the pandemic affected Czech choirs. The authors of this paper contribute to an important research topic related to the disruption of choral activities in the Czech Republic during the global pandemic. It presents the results of a questionnaire survey which was completed by choirs of various types from all over the country.

This paper focuses on the changes made to the design and delivery of course materials and lab sessions for an Engineering module in the post-pandemic period – aiming to keep a balance between hands-on experience and use of digital technology as part of the students’ socio-emotional learning (SEL) experience and development of emotional intelligence, employability skills required by Industry 4.0. The flipped classroom approach facilitated the students’ engagement in authentic and valuable learning experiences as active partners in the process of sustainable knowledge creation enabling the development of their growth mindset in constructive, active, intentional, cooperative, and authentic ways. The practical lab sessions aimed to develop the students’ manual dexterity and soft skills while preparing the lab work technical reports enabled the improvement of their creative and critical thinking skills through inquiry and reflective writing.The problem-oriented project work (where students examined and provided creative and innovative solutions for real-life situations through collaboration and problem-solving experiences) has increased their motivation, engagement, performance, persistence, and their capacity to give and receive constructive feedback by positive engagement with online discussion forums. The continuous cumulative assessment encouraged students to reflect on their performance and refine their learning practices to become career-ready engineering practitioners. The efficiency of the proposed approach was evaluated by conducting semi-structured interviews with students, analysing student’s academic performance and lecturers’ observations while engaging in classroom-based research. In conclusion the weaving of academic grace into the fabric of hybrid engineering courses has increased the quality of collaborative learning experiences for students.
Impacts of fighting against COVID-19 on critical care nurses’ psychological and physical health: a literature review
Authors: Malairojsiri Arisara 
Published: December 2023

Abstract

Objective
To provide insight into the effects of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic on the physical and psychological health of critical care nurses in adult units.

Methods
A systematic search through the CINAHL, MEDLINE, and EMbase databases were performed. Studies that addressed “critical care nurses,” “COVID-19,” “physical effect,” and “psychological effect” from different perspectives were reviewed.

Results
A total of 42 articles were reviewed based on 2 aspects: critical care nurses’ psychological and physical health. Negative emotions were the most common conditions: fear, anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Burnout, falling ill and having thoughts of self-harm, fatigue, physical burden, sleeping disorders, and chronic work overload also adversely affected the nurses’ health. The nurses’ health deteriorated because of the changes in the unfamiliar working environment and processes, colossal workload and chronic exhaustion, worries about themselves and their families, social response, and witnessing the death toll.

Conclusions
Critical care nurses experienced adverse effects of the institutional reaction, social response, and individuals’ reply to the COVID-19 pandemic upon their psychological and physical health. Supporting services and preparation for other unprecedented situations should be sustainably available.

Abstract

Objective
This systematized review aimed to synthesize the results of empirical studies focused on the types and factors of adverse events (AEs) that contribute to them in long-term care (LTC) settings.

Methods
The search was conducted in ProQuest, Scopus, and PubMed in January 2021 and resulted in 1057 records. The content analysis method was used in the data analysis.

Results
In all, 35 studies were identified as relevant for the review. The analysis revealed 133 different types of AEs and 60 factors that contributed to them.

Conclusions
In LTC, various AEs occur, most of which are preventable, while many factors that influence their occurrence could be significantly modifiable. Through an effective analysis of AEs in LTC, it is possible to minimize their occurrence and, at the same time, minimize their negative impact on all parties concerned.

Published: December 2023

Abstract
International authorities such as the European Commission and the United Nations pay special attention to sustainable urban development, for this purpose, strategies such as the European Green Deal or the Sustainable Development Strategy 2030 agenda, SDG 11 Sustainable cities and communities are developed. Urban development represents a fundamental direction in the transition process towards the green economy, a sustainable economic model. The paper aims to identify the degree of efficiency of economic development in the context of sustainable development for 41 cities in Romania, Germany, Japan, United States of America and Australia. To achieve this objective, the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method is used, with the aim of identifying the gaps regarding the sustainability of the analyzed cities. Data Envelopment Analysis allows the evaluation of the efficiency of urban settlements in the sample based on representative variables, selected as input. So, the research is ready to give answer to question like “What are the efficient cities in terms of sustainability?” and “What are the relationships between the cities included in the sample?”. The main results showed that there are cities that have a model of sustainable economic development, but certain cities present significant gaps from the point of view of efficient sustainable economic development. In addition, port cities seem to develop an association relationship, with inefficient port cities being associated with efficient port cities.

IlliberalNeo-Intergovernmentalism: Poland’s Conservative Idea for the European Union?
Authors: Tosiek Piotr 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The aim of this article is to propose the term ‘illiberal neo-intergovernmentalism’ (IN) to describe and explain Poland’s EU concept promoted by the government and some scholars after 2015. The methodology, based on decision, factor and comparative analyses, is of qualitative nature. The main idea is the assumption that Polish vision can be treated as a concept contributing to theory building. The research question relates to the positioning of the Polish concept against the background of other approaches: due to its significant distance from the functionalist trend, a connection with the intergovernmentalist theories is assumed. Two hypotheses are presented, and their verification shows that the main weakness of the Polish concept is the lack of paradigmatic rooting. The ‘Eurorealist’ illiberal neo-intergovernmentalism has not been created as a result of the evolutionary development of well-founded views typical of the intergovernmental trend and seems to disregard all previous theoretical achievements. Referring to realism alone, without defining the continuity of thought, is not enough to recognise the concept as a realist one. Therefore, this vision does not have explanatory values, while its normative character is the result of the adoption of Eurosceptic and ultraconservative ideology.

Published: December 2023

Abstract
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the most reliable parameter of renal function. Regarding the complexity of the gold standard inulin clearance, different estimating equations have been developed with CKD-EPI creatinine equation recommended as the most reliable one. In some clinical situations where creatinine based equations might not be valid, alternative methods are needed. Nuclear medicine methods for measuring GFR with 51Cr EDTA and 99mTc DTPA have been widely used for decades. There are different methodologies for the measurement of kidney function with radiopharmaceuticals: urinary clearance, plasma clearance, multiple plasma sampling, slope intercept, single sample plasma equation, slope only, and the gamma camera-based method. Greater precision of measuring GFR is needed in certain clinical situations. The most common are diagnosis and follow up of chronic kidney disease and definition of the beginning of replacement therapy. The assessment of renal function is also important for potential kidney donors. In recent years, with the introduction of new chemotherapeutic drugs and targeted therapy, oncologic patients treated with nephrotoxic drugs have become more commonly referred for measuring GFR. The monitoring of renal function is important during treatment in order to detect the transformation from reversible acute kidney injury to irreversible chronic kidney disease as well as in the cases of renal insufficiency reduce the dosage and prevent accumulation of the drug and avoid dosage related toxic effects. Assessment of kidney function using measured mGFR will be an important milestone in the creation of more accurate and expanding personalized medicine principle in current onconephrology practice.

Published: December 2023

Abstract
It is well known that energy systems are one of the causes of climate change, but it is less studied how climate change impacts energy systems. Due to rapid changes in climate, it is important to understand how to operate energy systems and what adaptation methods should be used for different energy systems. The main aim of this paper is to compare content and trends in scientific literature. The bibliometric method is used to analyse the scientific literature on a specific topic from the SCOPUS database. This article analyses the trend of publication, the main topics of the studies, and possible research gaps. Results show that in recent years, the number of publications on climate change impact on energy systems has rapidly increased. Also, in the last year, there has been a trend for studies that look into machine learning, weather modelling in the context of energy systems adaptation, and efficiency improvement.

Published: December 2023

A inserção da Estratégia de saúde bucal (ESB) na Estratégia de Saúde da Família (ESF) focou no processo de reorientação das relações de como são realizados os trabalhos. Foi observado a necessidade da equipe de trabalho se manter em contato com os pacientes e abranger a demanda dos atendimentos solicitados. Os parâmetros que estruturam o trabalho da ESB são os mesmos que regem o funcionamento da ESF, sendo eles a universalidade, integralidade, trabalho em equipe e equidade. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi elaborar uma pesquisa que identifique e demonstre quais as principais dificuldades encontradas nos atendimentos odontológicos nas visitas domiciliares ligadas a Estratégia Saúde da Família e quais as implicações mais evidentes atualmente dentro do SUS. Foi realizada uma revisão de literatura, onde inicialmente foi feita uma busca de trabalhos acadêmicos e posteriormente foi realizada a coleta de dados referentes ao tema. Não foi publicado um grande volume de trabalhos sobre o tema, houve certa dificuldade em encontrar artigos, teses ou outros materiais que abordassem o papel do cirurgião-dentista na ESF ou do desempenho da ESB nas UBSs. Por fim, pode-se dizer que são necessários mais estudos que abordem mais profundamente as problemáticas e os desafios especificamente no caso da ESB na atenção domiciliar (AD) e visita domiciliar (VD) na ESF, a fim de acompanhar a progressão, direcionar a priorização e sistematização das ações podendo contribuir para a organização das práticas de saúde bucal na ESF.
Copyright Amendment Bill: Contradictions to Hit the South African Education Sector
Authors: Tomaselli Keyan , Pieterse Hetta 
Published: December 2023

This article maps the latest developments in South Africa’s complex battle to update its Copyright Amendment Bill across a path strewn with legal pitfalls. Driving the agenda of the American-derived “fair use” and other copyright exceptions at the expense of content creators are the state, under the guise of “access” to education, and Big Tech companies focused on data mining, paraded as users’ rights to content. The emerging Bill has given rise to a set of major contradictions that will directly and negatively impact especially educational book publishing, from primary to tertiary sectors. The updated Bill risks violating authors’ rights and international treaties. The authors identify contradictions in public policy and sketch the most contentious aspects within debates around the Bill. The implications for the national research economy are considered, while the need to adequately protect the copyright of open access content is raised. The article closes with a summary of the issues of “fair use” and fair dealing, the predatory implications, and the outcome of the contradictions for the industry. The relevance of writing about a moving target is because a) the Bill has been in contestation for eight years now; b) universities and the whole educational sector have failed to respond coherently to the threats portended in the Bill; c) the nature of the claims and counter-arguments raised by the Bill will continue well after it has been promulgated; and d) the analysis is alert to open access imperatives and to the threat of South Africa becoming a haven for servers hosting pirated content should the Bill become law.
