Refractive Index Detection

Polymerised triacylglycerols (TAG) were determined in the fat of 66 industrially produced fried foods (especially frozen pre-fried French fries, potato chips and other fried snacks) and 56 samples of French fries (and other forms of fried potatoes) prepared in restaurants, snack bars, and other catering establishments. All samples were purchased in the Czech Republic, especially in Prague, in the years 2012–2014. Polymerised TAG were determined by HP-SEC with refractive index detection, after the fat extraction with petroleum ether. While in none of the samples of industrially produced fried foods did the content of polymerised TAG in fat exceed the limit value of 12%, in French fries provided by different types of catering establishments this threshold was exceeded in 9 samples (i.e. approximately in 16% of the analysed samples).

Volunteer Time

The economic value of volunteering is an increasingly important part of volunteering management. It has become part of public policies. Some requests for proposals (RFP) enable nonprofits to include the value of volunteer time in compulsory co-financing. These RFP include the European Economic Area (EEA) Grants and Norway Grants. This article addresses the relationship in the value of volunteering, also called in-kind volunteering contributions. The research includes two case studies of finances from EEA and Norway Grants in the Czech Republic: the Czech NGO Programme, responsible for allocating grants between 2009 and 2014, and the Active Citizens Fund, responsible for allocating grants between 2014 and 2021. They share elements through the EEA and Norway Grants rules. However, they use different types of specialist replacement wages. The article summarizes the arguments for including in-kind volunteering contributions. It presents the possible values of these contributions in the selected cases, including the relationship between the type of volunteering and the number of hours necessary to achieve these values. The article defines the theoretical basis for calculating the value of in-kind volunteer contributions and illustrates this with real examples of allocations from EEA and Norway Grants.

AbstractThe distribution and ecology of desmids in wetland habitats in the Czech Republic were studied during 2003–2007. Samples were taken also from various aerophytic habitats and temporary pools thet had not been sufficiently studied before. Altogether 110 desmids taxa were found in 31 samples which were ordinated on the basis of their desmid species composition using a multivariate statistic method. The discussion focuses on the most interesting findings and on the factors that influence the distribution of desmids in different types of aerophytic habitats.

Different Types

Housing and activities integrate the satisfaction of other human needs. In this regard, we can look at housing as a tool for the development of society itself. The division of different forms of housing in the Czech Republic into several groups can be done in many different ways. It always depends on who formulates the different types of housing.

Abstract The article presents the results of the survey on the preferences of disabled people in wheelchairs for selected features recreational trails in the woods. The study was conducted in 2015, including a sample of 130 people older than 18 years, in Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia (52 interviews in Poland, 21 in the Czech Republic and 57 in Slovakia). Respondents were interviewed both at the premises of the organisation as well as by email. The questions in the survey were designed to determine the preferences of the respondents in terms of recreational trails in the forests concerned: the optimal length of the route, recreational and educational points along the distribution routes of and usability of different types of forest roads. The results show that there is quite a lot of differences between the preferences of respondents from each of the analysed countries. Respondents from the Poland and Slovakia prefer shorter routes for recreation in forests, with a greater incidence of recreational and educational points along the route, whilst respondents in the Czech Republic prefer far longer routes, with a relatively larger distance between recreational points. In all the analysed countries, people with disabilities attributed highest usefulness to asphalt surfaces, concrete surfaces or surfaces made of cobblestones. The surface evaluated lowest for usability was made of wood.

Abstrakt: Reformy založené na zavádění tržních principů do vzdělávání zatím spíše zklamaly očekávání, že povedou k celkovému zlepšení vzdělávacích výsledků žáků. Mezinárodní šetření PISA 2012 tento poznatek rovněž potvrdilo. Avšak v případě České republiky byly publikovány výsledky uvádějící, že i po zohlednění socioekonomických a demografických rozdílů mezi žáky a dalších relevantních faktorů na úrovni škol dosahují lepších výsledků v matematice žáci v těch školách, které jsou vystaveny větší lokální konkurenci. Náš článek představuje kritickou revizi těchto výsledků. Vyšli jsme ze stejných datových souborů z šetření PISA a použili jsme dvouúrovňové modely, kde první úroveň byla žákovská a druhá školní. Pokud model (na rozdíl od postupu uplatněného autory šetření PISA) zohledňovat skutečnost, že ve vzorku jsou zastoupeny základní školy, víceletá gymnázia a střední školy, pak zdánlivý účinek konkurence mezi školami vymizel. Konkurence mezi školami jednoho typu tedy ani v České republice nevede k lepším znalostem a dovednostem žáků v matematice. Klíčová slova: volba školy, konkurence mezi školami, výsledky žáků, matematika, Česká republika, PISA.Klíčová slova: volba školy, soutěž mezi školami, výsledky žáků, matematika, Česká republika, PISAAbstract: Several studies have shown that market-based reforms of education, on average, do not improve the pupil performance across or within national school systems. The PISA 2012 survey found, however, that in the Czech Republic the schools that compete with other neibourghing schools for pupils tend to perform better in mathematics even after accounting for the socio-economic and demographic background of pupils and for relevant school characteristics (OECD, 2013). In our study, we re-evaluate this result. The impact of school variables on student achievement was studied using the PISA datasets and two-level models with pupils at the first level and schools at the second level. After accounting for different types of secondary schools in the Czech school sample, the apparent positive effect of school competition disappeared.Keywords: school choice, school competition, achivement, mathematics, Czech Republic, PISA

Different types of dangerous driver’s behavior are discussed in this paper. Case study analysis of young drivers’ hazardous behavior is also provided from authors’ practices. The practical research is collaborated with the statistical data that aggressive driving induces the number of fatalities on the roads in the Czech Republic by 25%. The improvement to driver’s training and other countermeasures is then suggested.
