I poured myself a bit of rakija, everyone in the flat was asleep, the light was dim and almost no sounds entered from the outside. I was browsing through documents, thoughts, photos and audio collages of Chrysa’s research project ‘Documenting experimental authorship’. I was listening to her podcast titled Value of Dance as Practice. I got immersed in her voice, in handwritten pages, in words that became poetry, in details of space that shape her dance. And after a very long time I felt someone was speaking my language, the language of a dancer. I knew I had to talk to her. The following interview happened online on a Tuesday afternoon, in December 2020.

The Subject

Trainings as well as their impact on employability and employees’ performance have been the subject of interest of theoreticians and practitioners of management for a long time. However, according to the literature study, the outcomes of employees’ trainings also depend on the applied style of leadership as well as on the quality of relationships between supervisors and subordinates. This paper tries to answer the question: what are the relationships between transformational leadership, the quality of supervisors’ relationships with subordinates, employees’ trainings and employability, employees’ quality and effort of work in public organizations? This aim will be achieved by presenting the results of literature study and empirical research carried out in public organizations. <font size="2"><sup>1</sup>The research project has been financed with the funds of the National Centre for Science granted under the Decision No. DEC‑2013/11/B/HS4/00561.</font>

Selecting a research topic is an integral part of graduate studies. According to Skip Brass, Associate Dean and Director of the MD-PhD program at the University of Pennsylvania, you need to “pick a problem that interests you. You will be living with it for a long time. Make sure it is something you will want to wrestle with even when the going gets rough. It has to make you want to get up early, work late, come in on the weekend, and think about it in the shower.” This paper aims to make the process of choosing and evaluating a research topic a little easier through providing some helpful steps in formulating a successful project.

The Canada 150 Conference on Migration of Bengalis was triggered by our academic as well as personal desires to establish broadly the history of migration of Bengalis or Bangla-speaking people to Canada. As long-time researchers on Asian immigrants in Canada, and through our involvement in the Metropolis Research Project, we realized that there was hardly any published material on Canadian Bengalis. Therefore, in 2017, on the eve of Canada’s 150th anniversary, we took the opportunity to celebrate and document the history and contemporary trends of Bengali immigrants in Canada.

University of Entrepreneurship and Law in Czech Republic has long time been dedicated to the research which relate to the identification of creative and innovative companies. These companies are characterized by a creative and innovative approach to their own companies and their products. The paper presents among others authors’ experience which they have come within the research project of “Model of Creative and Innovative Organizations and Its Verification in Conditions of the Moravian-Silesian Region”. An integral part of the research project was also a questionnaire for data collection and an analytical tool for the data analysis. This project was realized in 2014 and it followed up the several earlier research works concerning the identification of creative and also innovative companies in the Moravian-Silesian Region. Currently, the authors have been still improving the methods of identification of creative and innovative companies. The paper submits some of our practical experience.

And Coping

Abstract People, professionals and non-professionals, lonely and non-lonely, experience difficulties in talking about loneliness. Yet, talking about loneliness is important. Without conversation about loneliness, it is impossible to identify lonely persons and to assist them in a tailor-made way. The aim of this research project is to create evidence-based instruments to make talking about loneliness easier. From 2016 to 2019 (ongoing) six researchers held about 60-70 interviews with lonely persons, discussing feelings of loneliness and coping behavior. After the first 23 interviews with lonely older adults, a qualitative analysis on how to discuss loneliness was performed, resulting in a format for talking about loneliness and a topic list to help in conversations. These instruments were tested in the remaining interviews with lonely older adults and students, after which the format and topic list were updated. The format for talking about loneliness discusses guidelines for the inter human relationship, how to bring up the topic of loneliness, and what to discuss, e.g. feelings, timing, coping, consequences and taboo. ‘What to discuss’ is also addressed in the topic list. It is important to not be eager to help. Often, lonely people have felt so for a long time and considered many coping options. This illustrates complexity. Trying to ‘solve’ loneliness with oversimplified suggestions makes people feel that their situation is not taken seriously. These instruments emphasize the importance of true listening. The instruments can be used to train professionals and volunteers who want to discuss loneliness with lonely people.

Abstract An amount of data measured with sensors is increasing year to year. Every sensor has a location and sensor data are mostly measured for long time period, so visualization of location and regular updating of visualized value is necessary. Various characteristics (e.g. meteorological conditions) can be automatically read at frequent intervals and those readings can be aggregated into the interactive map visualization. This map must be not only legible but also understandable also for readers that are experts in their specialisation, however, not in cartography. This paper presents possibilities of using and implementation of adaptive cartography and visual seeking principles for interactive visualization and analysis of sensor based data measured in real time. Our solution is described on experimental application for precise farming that we developed during research project Agrisensor.

This work is included in a wider research project started on 2003 with autistic patients and their families. In this context we'll just expose treatments about families where the child diagnosed as autistic has an age between 3 and 18 years. The restriction of the group is given by the choice of displaying similar situations where children are living with their families and attend school in an integrated way. So we present a psychotherapeutic method which is totally similar to that usually used by the authors when the patient is a child. The approaching way as well, already experimented for a long time by the authors and proposed in other writings, here sheds light upon its amazing efficiency within family therapy, especially with patients who are neglected by systemic therapists, because they are children and above all because they are non-speaking children.

Factors which influence computer-based information systems The design and implementation of computer-based information systems have for a long time (and in some organizations are still being) accepted as primarily technical activities. As a result of this attitude about technology, the fact that practically all computer-based systems exist within the context of an organization has been largely ignored. From the literature it has emerged that many computer-based information systems have failed, not necessarily as a result of poor technical quality, but because certain other important aspects, which determine the success or the failure of a computer-based system have been left out of account. As a result of a research project, it will be shown in this paper which factors are the most important in their contribution to the success of computer-based systems.

In recent years, the electron microscope has been significantly improved in resolution and we can obtain routinely atomic-level high resolution images without any special skill. With this improvement, the structure analysis of organic materials has become one of the interesting targets in the biological and polymer crystal fields.Up to now, X-ray structure analysis has been mainly used for such materials. With this method, however, great effort and a long time are required for specimen preparation because of the need for larger crystals. This method can analyze average crystal structure but is insufficient for interpreting it on the atomic or molecular level. The electron microscopic method for organic materials has not only the advantage of specimen preparation but also the capability of providing various information from extremely small specimen regions, using strong interactions between electrons and the substance. On the other hand, however, this strong interaction has a big disadvantage in high radiation damage.

Long Time

For a long time, the development of dynamical theory for HEER has been stagnated for several reasons. Although the Bloch wave method is powerful for the understanding of physical insights of electron diffraction, particularly electron transmission diffraction, it is not readily available for the simulation of various surface imperfection in electron reflection diffraction since it is basically a method for bulk materials and perfect surface. When the multislice method due to Cowley & Moodie is used for electron reflection, the “edge effects” stand firmly in the way of reaching a stationary solution for HEER. The multislice method due to Maksym & Beeby is valid only for an 2-D periodic surface.Now, a method for solving stationary solution of HEER for an arbitrary surface is available, which is called the Edge Patching method in Multislice-Only mode (the EPMO method). The analytical basis for this method can be attributed to two important characters of HEER: 1) 2-D dependence of the wave fields and 2) the Picard iteractionlike character of multislice calculation due to Cowley and Moodie in the Bragg case.
