Youth subculture as interaction of youth and society
Likhachova, Sviatlana
2014 - English
Based on the results of a sociological study in the Mogilev Region, the state and development of
youth subculture as a social phenomenon are considered. The reasons for involvement in
subcultural associations, sources of information about them, the positive and negative effects of
participation in youth subcultures are analyzed. In modern society, we have a situation of
subcultural pluralism when society is a set of co-existing ethnic, professional, religious,
territorial and youth subcultures, each of which has its own view of the world, including its own
system of norms and values, attitudes, beliefs and interests. The study of youth subcultures gives
usa deeper understanding of young people's subjectivity. Traditionally, young people are
considered as a social resource of society, the object of socialization adopting the experience of
older generations. However, some approaches pay attention to the process of integration into
society through conflict. It allows youth to present values that do not coincide with the
dominant culture.

Dolzhenko, Svetlana

Killing jokes - Hašek’s and Kafka’s reception in Hungarian literature
Horváth, Csaba
2014 - English
Despite the fact that Hašek and Kafka lived in the same city, in the same era, and despite the
influence each exercised on the course of European literature in the 20th century, reception of their works has gone in absolutely opposite directions. The lecture has two goals: the first is to show the parallel characteristics of the two authors; the second is to elaborate on how these two writers are incorporated into Hungarian literature: Hašek is considered as a representative of Czech humor; Kafka is seen as a writer of a prophetical influence on history.
Keywords:
Hašek; Kafka; irony; translation; comedy; Eastern European sense of humor; Wittgenstein; linguistic determinism; ironie; übersetzung; komödie; ost-europäischer humor; linguistischer determinismus

European initiatives - chances for universities
Hijden, Peter van der
2014 - English
Universities play a central role in the development of their country. They produce and process knowledge and transmit this knowledge to the next generation, to the economy and to society at large. Universities need to take action in order to become even more successful players at local, regional, national, European and international level. Actions include modernisation in education, research and innovation. Special attention should be given to human resources management and doctoral training.
European initiatives can act as a catalyst.

2014 - English
The aim of the three-year project (registration number CZ.1.07/2.2.00/15.0357) was to innovate three out of the existing five study programs of the Faculty of Health Studies, University of Pardubice (FHS UPa) and to enhance the professional competence of the academic staff, which would lead to the modernization of teaching methods and incorporation of new, scientific knowledge in the educational activities. The project responded to the societal demand for highly qualified healthcare personnel in the context, among other things, of an aging population. The project involved all four departments of the faculty: The Department of Nursing, The Department of Midwifery and Health and Social Work, The Department of Clinical Subspecialties, and the Department of Informatics, Management, and Radiology. In addition, the project had a partner institution – the Pardubice Regional Hospital, jointstock company (JSC). The project consisted of four key activities. The project started on April 1, 2011 and ended on March 31, 2014. It was part of the Operational program Education for Competiveness; Priority Axis 7.2 Tertiary Education, Research, and Development; Area of Intervention 7.2.2 Higher Education.

Cultural and language features in Vietnamese: general and special cases of classifiers: “con” and “cái”
Minh Ha, Lo-Cicero
2014 - English
As far as cultural and language features in Vietnamese are concerned, I would like to touch
upon the “règles d’exception” [rules of exceptions] “des sous-règles” [sub-rules] which
account for a number of special cases that form a coherent and regular set. These rules of
exceptions, limited in number, will be presented and classified by degrees of “exception”
[degrés d’exceptionalité]. There are exceptions according to different degrees which are determined by a system more or less adapted to the language, in this case, the Vietnamese language. Vietnamese is a language with a system of classifiers. The complexity of the choice of classifiers is determined essentially by the form of the object and by the distinction between two worlds: animate and inanimate. I pay particular attention to the multifaceted usage of the two classifiers: “con” which generally represents the animate world, and “cái”, the inanimate one.

Great expectations among outbound Swedish exchange students – a case from Umeå University
Nilsson, Per A.
2014 - English
This paper explores expectations and outcomes for outbound students in Sweden, comparing their
expectations with what they actually experienced. Based on an initial sample of 143 students 57
answered both surveys, before and after having the experience of studying abroad. The aim is to
investigate to what extent the expectations of outbound exchange students are being met in a
population of students who had temporarily studied abroad. In this study, Umeå University, Sweden, is used as a case. This study highlights what incentives students have to become exchange students and most importantly, how they value this experience. The respondents had positive expectations before departing as exchange students and they returned with even more positive attitudes.

Globalisation, coupled with advancement in information, communication and technology has increased the demand for quality labour, having knowledge and competing to maximise production. Labour productivity is the important sources income and economic growth. The objective of this paper is to analyse the depth of globalisation impact on labour productivity in the OECD regions. The analysis has used data from the OECD Statistics and World Development Indicators of World Bank, comprising 22 years, from 1990-91 to 2011-12. A multiple regression model using panel data is estimated to analyse the relationship between globalization and labour productivity. Findings of the study show that globalisation indicators like FDI and economic openness have positive and significant impact on labour productivity. Then, a number of possible determinants pertaining to economic factors and labour factors have been explored as well.
