1. Diane Bell LEARNING TO LISTEN: THE VOICES OF TERTIARY STUDENTS WITH HEARING IMPAIRMENT Growing numbers of students with [DEL: a :DEL] hearing loss are being granted access into Higher Education in South Africa due to the adoption of Inclusive Educational policies. The main aim of this case study was [SB1] to explore how these students could be better academically supported in order to enhance their tertiary educational experience and improve their chances of successfully graduating[INS: , with a specific :INS] [DEL: ; :DEL] focus[DEL: ing :DEL] on educational barriers, coping strategies, assistive technologies, curriculum accessibility as well as support services[INS: . :INS] The methodological approach used for this study was qualitative and purposeful sampling led to the selection of information-rich cases in order to gain insight from the “lived” experiences of the students. The context of the case was a U[SB2] niversity with a high number of registered students with a hearing impairment, using the oral/aural method of communication. Data were gathered by means of semi-structured interviews with these students, [INS: in addition to :INS] university lecturers and also a staff member from the Disability unit. Atlas.ti was used to code and analyse the data;[SB3] allowing for the discovery of recurring themes. Six major findings emerged from this study: [DEL: :DEL] all of the participants identified [DEL: as :DEL] having a hearing identity cultural paradigm;[SB4] limited curriculum transformation had taken place; existing support services were largely inadequate; a number of barriers related to teaching and assessment were experienced; a variety of academic and personal coping strategies were used to support their needs and some critical factors for success were advocated [DEL: for :DEL] by the participants. . 2. Eva Holoubkova The process of settling with [DEL: the :DEL] severe mental illness in the life stories of people with psychotic disorder[SB5] [DEL: The :DEL] [INS: This :INS] qualitative study is concerned [DEL: about :DEL] [INS: with :INS] [DEL: the :DEL] people suffering from schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders. The purpose of the study is to [DEL: render and describe experiencing and :DEL] understand[DEL: i :DEL] [DEL: ng of :DEL] psychotic disorder[INS: s :INS] in the context of the individual life story. Our attention is given especially to the psychological and social factors[DEL: , :DEL] which help or [DEL: on the other hand :DEL] [INS: alternatively :INS] obstruct dealing with [SB6] the illness. The perspective of man [SB7] suffering from psychotic disorder, his understanding and [DEL: settling :DEL] [INS: living :INS] with the illness, is emphasized. The study was realized on seven respondents (four men and three women), aged 28–45. All the respondents were currently in the remission [INS: stage :INS] of [DEL: the :DEL] [INS: a :INS] mental illness. In the past[INS: , :INS] they were repeatedly hospitalized due to [INS: a :INS] psychotic disorder. The narrative interview opened with the “Life line technique” was used as the method for obtaining relevant data.[SB8] Relevant topics were indentified with the help of [INS: the :INS] categorical-content approach. During the research[INS: , :INS] [DEL: the :DEL] narrative analysis was used. Content categories were compared and interpreted at the individual level and furthermore at the complex level regarding acknowledged common categories. Seven common categories [SB9] representing important factors in dealing with [SB10] the mental illness were identified in the interviews: Individual rationalization and meaningful integration of the illness in the personal life story,[SB11] support of close social environment, general social acceptance, return to work, using medication, psycho-social rehabilitation services and self-help groups, hospitalization experiences and experiences with medical doctors. 3. Petr Husek Democratic Regimes Between Utopia and Dystopia: Contribution[SB12] to Theory of Transition When talking about [SB13] the current crisis of democratic regimes, it is chiefly its economical / financial / social dimension, which is being emphasized and commented[INS: upon :INS] . However, there are[INS: also :INS] inevitably political consequences as well[SB14] . Therefore, it is only appropriate to ask questions like: is it possible for one of such consequences to be the demand for the fall of democracy, the end of democratic regimes in particular countries? Or, what would be the possible answer (if there would be any answer, of course) [DEL: of :DEL] [INS: to :INS] a democratic regime? The classic transitological rule is quite clear: the basic symptom of one regime type changing into another (so called transition) is (1.) disappearance of respect for hitherto valid and broadly accepted rules defining the power bearers as well as their opposition (O´Donnell – [SB15] Schmitter -[SB16] Whitehead [SB17] 1986: 6), and (2.) increasing demand for defining brand new rules – better, more effective, more just…[SB18] But is [DEL: the :DEL] political science able to react to the state of affairs, when the subject of our research – classical transitive situation – is being turned inside out[SB19] ; when it is not all about a non-democratic regime gradually changing into a democratic one, but a democratic regime moving over to non-democratic[INS: . :INS] [DEL: ? :DEL] One of the possibilities is to focus on a certain layer of ideas, i.e. the projection of both causes of discontent and hopes for change of all relevant participants. Here we should work on the assumption that the crisis indicators are only a manifestation of [INS: a :INS] more general trend – substitution of one “complex of ideas” dominating [SB20] in relevant society for a different one. The collocation [SB21] “complex of ideas” should be interpreted as a vector bound for the unreachable Weberian ideal type. The area of anticipated intersection of a greater number of such vectors can be considered identical with the “utopian field”. Conceptions being offered as a substitution for the current situation are very diverse. While studying transitive processes[INS: , :INS] it is therefore necessary to work not just with the concept of utopia, but also with its darker side, its alter ego – the dystopia. [DEL: And i :DEL] [INS: I :INS] t must be accentuated that these very “turbulences” [SB22] on utopian-dystopic background, the tensions between utopian and dystopic concepts [SB23] represent the main movers of transition. Taking them into account, it[INS: is :INS] also very easy to falsif[INS: y :INS] [DEL: icate :DEL] the presumption that every transition must [DEL: needs :DEL] lead to establishing a democratic regime type, being some kind of [SB24] ideal and unchangeable constant. 4. Vitalii Chepeliuk Nowadays[INS: , :INS] [INS: i :INS] [DEL: I :DEL] t seems to be common that P2P overlay networks should be used as overlay network[INS: s :INS] to minimize latency for video streaming, increase common throughput and optimize Interne traffic. P2P streaming tries to archive scalability and m[INS: e :INS] et real-time requirements. But consider large-scale mesh-based overlay for distribution[INS: to :INS] real-time video streams. Video is divided into chunks of 64KB size and then disseminated in [INS: the :INS] P2P network. According to Geo Policy(Copy Right [SB25] Law) a lot [SB26] of peers only download chunks and do not propagate to other peers for better and quick dissemination. For little [SB27] P2P networks[INS: , :INS] [DEL: :DEL] this means bad performance issue[INS: s :INS] when only [DEL: few :DEL] [INS: a small percentage :INS] [DEL: per cents :DEL] of peers are distributing [INS: [what?] :INS] and central unity or video server[INS: s :INS] could be used to send real-time video[INS: s :INS] . But when P2P networks are large and scalable video server where video data is recorded[SB28] and divided into chunks[INS: , :INS] [INS: they :INS] should be taken off [INS: the :INS] dissemination process, because it se[DEL: a :DEL] [INS: e :INS] ms to be a reason of failure of[INS: the :INS] overall system. In this paper[INS: , :INS] we contract [INS: a :INS] P2P game model for better cooperation in large scale networks and enforcing[INS: an :INS] efficient policy for distributing video stream[INS: s :INS] among nodes. First we analyze tradeoffs between nodes in mesh overlay when dissemination of video streams runs in parallel streams to propagate chunks to as [DEL: much as possible amount of :DEL] [INS: many :INS] peers[INS: as possible :INS] . Then we construct game model[INS: s :INS] and take into account required parameters for fear real time game[INS: s involving a :INS] [DEL: of :DEL] large [DEL: amount :DEL] [INS: number :INS] of players. Tak[INS: ing :INS] [DEL: e :DEL] into account sensitivity to all parameters we try to show how [INS: a :INS] game model is robust and scalable but [INS: does :INS] not satisfy real time constraints. 5. Veronika Jezkova Foucault: Psychiatry as [INS: a :INS] [DEL: A :DEL] n Assistant Institution of a Repressive Power The first part of this paper will deal with[SB29] two case studies from Foucault's "Les Anormaux" that show the development of psychiatry as an instrument of social control – the Henriete Cornier case and the Charles Jouy case. Throughout history[INS: , :INS] psychiatry's [SB30] competences have changed: from a specialized branch of public hygiene it has become a part of medical and legal discourse ([SB31] and started to use medical procedures in the approach to diseases: i.e. treating symptoms as something pathological and analyzing them, classification of diseases, making predictions, therapy determination etc[SB32] .). The second part of the paper will focus on medicine – [SB33] on methods of diagnosis from Foucault's "The Birth of the Clinic: An Archaeology of Medical Perception". It will examine the three discourses that appeared [DEL: from :DEL] [INS: at :INS] the end of 18th century[INS: , and continued :INS] to the middle of [INS: the :INS] 19^th century – a medicine of pathological species, a medicine of symptoms and a medicine of organs. According to Foucault, these three discourses, and especially the third one, gave rise to the methodology of contemporary medicine.[INS: :INS] At the end [INS: of this paper, :INS] I will ask the question: “is the inclusion of psychiatry in medicine legitimate?” and show how this inclusion originated and what difficulties can [INS: a :INS] rise from it. 6. Michal Kucera Anti-Romani violence in the Czech Republic Th[INS: is :INS] [DEL: e :DEL] article deals with the issue of anti-Romani violence in the Czech [INS: R :INS] [DEL: r :DEL] epublic committed largely by right wing extremists. By describing particular phases of the anti-Romani violence[INS: , :INS] it considers the evolutionary process of this issue. In other words, given the absent analysis describing the evolution of the anti-Romani violence in the Czech republic[SB34] , this article represents the first attempt to do so. [DEL: Afterwards :DEL] [INS: Later, :INS] the article provides detailed insight[INS: s :INS] into the basic characteristic attributes of the anti-Romani violence. As it presents concrete cases of assaults on the Romani community[INS: , :INS] it provides examples of methods used by right wing extremists as well as[SB35] the description of the shift from individual attacks to vigilantism. Furthermore, on the basis of [DEL: the :DEL] facts [DEL: of :DEL] [INS: obtained from :INS] [DEL: the :DEL] polls on [DEL: the :DEL] right wing extremism held in recent times[INS: , :INS] the article also takes into account a general public attitude towards the Romani community and towards the right wing extremist ideology. The second part of the article focuses on the [DEL: iniciatives :DEL] [INS: initiatives :INS] responding either violently or [DEL: softly :DEL] [INS: otherwise :INS] to the anti-Romani violence. Thus, this issue is viewed from two basic perspectives[INS: : :INS] [DEL: . :DEL] The first [DEL: one :DEL] focuses on the description of main leftist subjects, particularly the Anti-Fascist Action, the Socialistic alternative “Future” and the Union of the Communist Youth of Czechoslovakia, engaged in the fight against right wing extremism. The second perspective describes the Romani subjects taking active part in a fight against the anti-Romani violence. Mutual cooperation among these subjects is[INS: also :INS] considered[DEL: as well :DEL] . Keywords: Romani, violence, extremism, Czech [INS: R :INS] [DEL: r :DEL] epublic 7. Sarka Kunzova Health and behavior. Chronic diseases cause serious health problems in [DEL: the :DEL] developed countries. Lifestyle is an important factor in their prevention and treatment. Behavior affects mental and physical health, quality of life, course, [SB36] management and treatment of chronic diseases. Psychological, genetic, behavioral and environmental factors interact with each other. Behavior modifies genetic risks due to influences on gene expression. Psychosocial stress has both direct and indirect negative effects on health. [SB37] Procrastination is related to health. [SB38] Environmental and psychological factors modify behavior and lead to reversible epigenetic changes with trans-generational effects. Brain, behavior and immunity are closely linked [INS: with :INS] and react to environmental context. These findings correspond with the biopsychosocial concept of health and disease. Cognitive theories and behavioral models identify the psychological factors involved in behavioral change. Health-related behavior is age specific. Behavioral interventions are applied in primary and secondary prevention. According to scientific evidence, behavioral interventions are effective [DEL: on :DEL] [INS: at the :INS] individual and population level, improve the quality of life and reduce health[DEL: :DEL] care costs. Understanding the broad context of health and behavior promotes acceptance of the biopsychosocial model[INS: s :INS] of health and disease. Consequently, adopting this concept implies necessity of focusing on prevention.[INS: :INS] [INS: [SB39] :INS] Key words: behavior, lifestyle, health, prevention, genes, behavioral change, behavioral intervention, biopsychosocial concept 8. Petr Martinovsky Between Mitigation and Adaptation: Geoengineering as a Progressive Approach to Climate Change?[SB40] Prevention of possible negative impacts of climate change is now concentrating either on mitigation ([SB41] reducing greenhouse gas emissions) or on adaptation (e.g. changes in landscape). Efficiency of both these policies [DEL: are :DEL] [INS: is :INS] [DEL: put in :DEL] question[INS: ed :INS] in several studies. If consequences of climate change grow substantia[INS: l :INS] ly and mitigation and adaptation [DEL: will not be :DEL] [INS: prove in :INS] [DEL: :DEL] sufficient[INS: , :INS] an alternative strategy could occur. So called [SB42] geoengineering focuses on intentional modification of the climate in order to reduce negative impacts on the environment and human societies. What are the dangers and how efficient are these three policies? [SB43] What can the discourse itself can tell us? Securitization theory will be applied in the text in order to understand current and future debate. Key words: geoengineering, climate engineering, solar radiation management, carbon dioxide removal, environmental security, 9. Jana Obrovska Spirituality in New Social Movements: [INS: A :INS] Case[INS: :INS] [DEL: s :DEL] [INS: S :INS] tudy of non-governmental organization Embercombe In contrast with many sociological theories which presuppose privatized and social in-[SB44] significant character of individualized and de-institutionalized forms of spirituality[INS: , :INS] this paper explains [INS: the :INS] de-privatized character of spirituality of employees and volunteers in the non-governmental organization Embercombe (UK) which facilitates both spiritual development courses and environmental and social programmes[SB45] . The organization is conceptualized as part of new social movement, new religious movement (New Age) and holistic milieu which constitute the structures of so called holistic movement. The author spent four months in the research field and used a case study design to explain the ways actors interconnect their own spiritual development with an effort to transform the community and wider society. The results are based on data gathered by means of participant and non-participant observation, in depth [SB46] interviews and analysis of relevant documents. In the organization culture [SB47] individuals are inspired to contribute actively to the vision of „truly sustainable world“. Spirituality is perceived as a life force which empowers individual[INS: s :INS] to change. Positively valued are the processes of exploration and experimentation on the level of[INS: the :INS] individual and collective identity. Spiritual practicies connect an individual with the E[SB48] arth and deepen the mode of living as being present. To act effectively in the outer world[INS: , :INS] one needs to be connected with his own spirituality and cultivate authentic leadership ability. Spirituality is presented as [INS: a :INS] cultural resource for grasping social and environmental problems which transcend [INS: the :INS] private lives of individuals rooted in [INS: the :INS] culture of Embercombe and engaged in activities of new social movements. This paper is [INS: a :INS] contribution to[INS: the :INS] study of religion in[INS: the :INS] public sphere (primarily in civil society) and its relationship to social change. Key words: New Age spirituality, new social movements, social change, privatization and de-privatization of religion 10. Pavel Rimak Comparison of physical fitness assessment provided by bicycle ergometer and treadmill for the purpose of primary preventive examination[SB49] The physical fitness assessment is one of the crucial parts of primary preventive examination. It is well known that [INS: a :INS] maximal exercise fitness test [INS: using a :INS] [DEL: on :DEL] bicycle ergometer and on [INS: a :INS] treadmill could provide different results despite [DEL: of :DEL] using the same protocols. It was also hypothesised and partially proved that various type[INS: s :INS] of training could significantly influence the results gained on different testing methods. The maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) measured in millilitres of oxygen per kilogram of human weight per minute (ml*kg-1*min-1) is recognized as the best independent individual parameter for physical fitness evaluation. To VO2max estimation the direct or indirect methods are used. The aim of this study was [SB50] to compare VO2max values from two indirect methods for the assessment of VO2max. We selected Cooper walk/run test on treadmill (CT) and bicycle ergometry maximal test (BE). The associated [SB51] aim was to assess [DEL: an :DEL] [INS: the :INS] applicability of these two methods for the physical fitness assessment in the frame of primary preventive examination. It was revealed that VO2max predictions gained from CT were underestimated in comparison to BE [DEL: in :DEL] [INS: with an :INS] average of 8,6 % (p < 0,001) in the whole group. The differences varied in its rates [SB52] in the subgroups according to how trained the subgroups were and the prevailing type of physical activity they practised. The highest differences between CT and BE tests were in the subgroup of cyclists (-12,0 %), in the subgroup of students of medicine (-10,9 %) and in the subgroup of persons without special sport preferences. In those subgroups the differences were also statistically significant (p < 0,01), whereas the differences were insignificant in the subgroup of runners (-4,6 %, p ˃ 0,05) and in the subgroup [SB53] of triathletes there were practically no differences. We showed that CT is more susceptible to [DEL: the :DEL] influences like training experience, prevailing type[INS: s :INS] of physical activity, motivation[INS: , :INS] and so on[SB54] . After the evaluation of results[INS: , :INS] we consider BE as more suitable in our specific conditions, especially for the assessment of physical fitness by average trained individuals. Keywords: physical fitness; cardiorespiratory fitness; maximum oxygen uptake; VO2max prediction; bicycle ergometry; Cooper walk/run test 11. Martina Skalkova Efficiency of blended learning with LMS Moodle support in Czech [DEL: lessons at :DEL] primary schools Existing researches[SB55] show that blended learning is used to support learners in the world of education as well as [INS: in :INS] the world of business. It combines face to face classroom methods with online activities to form an integrated instructional approach. This article is designed to provide results of a pedagogical experiment from the field of teaching Czech at primary schools and practical examples of how to integrate web-based learning with traditional learning in Czech language lessons. The pedagogical research on two different didactical methods was performed to show that pupils at primary schools are able to learn Czech grammar with LMS Moodle support without [INS: the help of a :INS] teacher´s[SB56] [DEL: help :DEL] and that blended learning is more effective under [DEL: given :DEL] [INS: certain :INS] conditions than traditional classroom method. [DEL: The :DEL] [INS: A :INS] [DEL: paralel :DEL] [INS: parallel :INS] comparable method was chosen to prove it. All aspects of blended learning were [DEL: descibed :DEL] [INS: described :INS] , statistical testing included.[INS: The :INS] [DEL: B :DEL] [INS: b :INS] lended learning method has better results in othographical didactic tests, [DEL: on :DEL] [INS: although :INS] the [DEL: other hand worse :DEL] results [INS: are poor :INS] in syntactic tests. Key words: blended learning, LMS Moodle, Czech language 12. Michaela Volckova Destruction of permanent tooth germ caused by osteitis in region of temporary tooth The aim of [INS: this :INS] study is [INS: the :INS] description of tooth germ destruction caused by inflammation in [INS: the :INS] bone in [INS: the :INS] region around [DEL: of :DEL] temporary successor apex. Description: Th[INS: is :INS] [DEL: e :DEL] study describes two similar cases. [DEL: In t :DEL] [INS: T :INS] he first case [INS: involved :INS] [DEL: was :DEL] [INS: the :INS] germ of tooth 14 spontaneously eliminated in oral cavity. [DEL: In t :DEL] [INS: T :INS] he second case [DEL: was :DEL] [INS: involved the :INS] diagnos[INS: is :INS] [DEL: ed :DEL] delayed eruption of tooth 35. [DEL: By :DEL] X-ray evaluation [DEL: was appeared that :DEL] [INS: of :INS] the tooth [INS: revealed that :INS] [INS: [?] :INS] had been present but in its area was visible bright of bone.[SB57] [INS: The :INS] [DEL: P :DEL] [INS: p :INS] atient was sen[INS: t :INS] [DEL: d :DEL] to [INS: the :INS] Surgical [DEL: d :DEL] [INS: D :INS] epartment in [INS: the :INS] Dentistry clinic of Saint Anna in Brno. Both [DEL: of :DEL] [INS: the :INS] extracted teeth were evaluated by SEM. In both of cases was created and mineralisated only oclusal surface of tooth.[SB58] Conclusion: At the end[INS: , it :INS] is possible to say that inflammation in [INS: the :INS] periodontal[INS: [ :INS] ly[INS: ] :INS] area of bone in temporary dentition has a great influence [DEL: in :DEL] [INS: on the :INS] development and status of permanent dentition. For this reason[INS: , it :INS] is necessary to prevent decay in primary dentition. Caries should be immediately treated to prevent similar consequences. 13. Stanislav [SB59] Oplatek Remarks on Morfosyntactical Status of Old-Russian Participles [DEL: In t :DEL] [INS: T :INS] h[INS: is :INS] [DEL: e :DEL] paper, the[INS: :INS] morfosyntactical status of Old-Russian participles[INS: will be discussed :INS] . Among Russian both Czech historians of language it is commonly accepted, that Old-Russian participles have evolved from indoeuropean nouns. Using some viewpoints of the GG and typological parallels from nostratic languages we will disprove this hypothesis and show, that Old-Russian participles are in fact derived form verbs, but in contrary to the verbum finitum they are not able to express neither grammatical verbal time nor voice (in terms of contemporary slavonic languages) as is usually claimed. On that account we will contend, that the Old-Russian participles are syntactic derivatives built from verbal stems using the lexical suffix, which plays a role of an inhibitor of the temporal verbal head (T). ________________________________ [SB1]The present tense is commonly used to introduce studies/research [SB2]Does not need to be capitalised when preceded by the indefinite article; once the specific institution has been named, then use a capital U for subsequent references [SB3]Misplaced here [SB4]Word(s) missing/misused...
