The study presents the effects of a 6-month intervention program for training students in using summarizing skills by informational texts. A total of 114 4th grade students and 5 of their teachers, who implemented the program, participated in the experimental group (EG), 76 students were in the control group (CG). We examined the students’ skill of summarizing with a pre-, post- and a follow-up test. All students were divided into four groups according to their general reading competency (GRC) at pre-test: struggling, at-risk, average and good readers. We found: 1) important progress in summarizing by all groups of readers (EG and CG), with a more extensive progress made by readers in the EG; 2) stable proficiency differences between students in summarizing in general and in the elements of the summary (main ideas and coherence of text). The implications for further research and practice are discussed.

In this paper we aim to present The Number Race computer game by Anna Wilson and Stanislas Dehaene (Wilson et al. 2006a) – the tool for remediation of dyscalculia and enhancing math competence for children without specific learning disorders. The game is based on current knowledge about mental representation of numbers and neural structures underlying mathematical cognition. We also present the principles underlying the design of the game as well as research on effectiveness The Number Race. We also point perspectives of using Polish language version of The Number Race.

Homeless people are one of the most endangered groups of social work. They are multiply marginalized, discriminated in living conditions, financial aid, in the labour market and in supportive relationships. They require crisis intervention due to superimposed problems as a result of which they are in danger of health and life (Olah and coll., 2006). From our experience, we would like to state that there is no way to objectively assess why someone became homeless. Speculation that "it is their fault, they can blame themselves" and so they must help themselves to get off the streets, we consider very unprofessional. None of the people on the street planned to live their lives like this. Those, who has chosen this way of life seemingly freely, responded this way to the uncontrolled living situations such as: divorce, illness (to which belong also addiction), unfavourable social situation and the material need etc.. The causes are fairly well described and well known to the general public. Much less are described obstacles to their return to the intact society.

The armed conflicts that broke out in 2011 in the Arab Maghreb led to mass violations of human rights. Democratic countries, above all the member states of the European Union that attach special importance to respecting the dignity and rights of individuals, observance of the rules of a democratic state and declare aid to the citizens of countries outside the EU - faced the necessity to respond effectively to the developments in North Africa and the Near East. The necessity to act was further enhanced by the fact that the conflicts broke out in an area sensitive to the security of EU member states. Within the complex of conflicts in the Maghreb, the most difficult one to regulate and abate at the beginning of 2011 was the conflict in Libya. On account of the military involvement of European countries and different stances of particular EU member states on this issue, the conflict in Libya can have strong negative consequences for a common foreign policy and security of the EU. The article analyzes the acceptability of international intervention in Libya and the attitude of European states and societies to the military aid to Libyan insurgents.

Koncept minimální intervence

The Concept of Minimal Intervention (CMI) is a 'methodological bill' concerning linguists and their approach toward the language and its speakers. CMI represents one possible approach to language, implying programmatic character. CMI prerequisites are: 1) There is no reason why linguistics should infringe upon language development through its interventions and thus disqualify speakers for their (natural) linguistic behavior. 2) The language has been evolving into a sensible instrument of communication, needing no assistance from linguists. 3) The arbitrary nature of linguistic means draws on their usage, and involves the ways of using constituents; it is thus not beneficial when linguistics violates, through its interventions, the very fact of this choice taken by the majority. CMI is delimited by the endeavor to minimize linguists' interventional pressure on language and its speakers; CMI's goal is to bring the language situation as close to the condition marked by the existence of a spontaneously constituted order of norms which is 'only' passively recorded by linguists. Since zero intervention is irreconcilable with the existence of linguistics, it is necessary to deliberately weaken potential linguistic interventions through a pluralism of descriptions which should expressly declare the goals they pursue and which (communicative) functions they favor.

The Freedom Party (Strana slobody) was one of the two satellite parties, which existed in Slovakia after the year 1948. It had no political influence and was forced to operate as a 'party of activists' with a minimal membership base. Part of its leadership, headed by its chairman Vincent Pokojny, a member of the National Assembly, strove to activate the party and widen its membership base in the mid fifties. Another part of the leadership, represented by the general secretary Frantisek Stefanik, disagreed with this and denounced Pokojny and his associates to the leadership of the Communist Party of Slovakia, especially Karol Bacilka and Pavol David. In 1955 Stefanik gave them some programme documents formulating the approach of the Freedom Party in the event of the collapse of the communist regime in Czechoslovakia. At the beginning of 1956, Pokojny was forced to give up his seat in the National Assembly. The State Security Service detained him and accused him of preparing a counter revolution and the restoration of capitalism in Czechoslovakia. In July 1956, the members of Pokojny's group were convicted in a show trial and given long prison sentences. The longest - 11 years - was given to Pokojny himself. The sentences were reduced after an appeal in September 1956, but remained unjustifiably harsh and unjust. This was also a 'warning' to the other satellite political parties not to attempt any activation.

Spisovnost a její zdroje

Although 'literary language', i.e. standard language or 'spisovna cestina', was the central notion of the Prague Linguistic Circle's Theory of the Cultivation of Language, it has never been defined. This article deals with the problem of definition of 'literariness', a concept which forms the base for the codification criterion of 'correspondence with the literary norm'. Several attempts to define it or to provide criteria for 'literariness' were made, but, as the author explains, none of them were successful in reproducing the codified set of language means. These attempts can be divided into two groups: nominalistic and realistic. The former suggests that literariness (i.e. being a part of literary/standard language) is 'a mere label', a characteristic that is acquired by being codified, the latter supposes that language means are standard or nonstandard (or something in between) depending on their usage. The nominalistic approach appears to be inadequate, as it provides no opportunity for language development. Realistic criteria, however, are either methodologically dubious or highly controversial among Czech linguists.
