The market of long-term employee training programs in the current plethora of initiatives co-financed from European funds is a difficult one - particularly vulnerable to intense competitive stimuli and the fluctuations in demand. Is it possible to manage a program that seeks to maintain a relatively stable scale over the years in such circumstances, primarily based on reputation within the local market? An example of the Cisco Academy by the University of Gdansk indicates that it is.

The objective of the present research work was to analyze the activities undertaken to design and select trainings for SME employees. The companies' rising interest in investing in human capital, the growing use of the EU support funds within the Sectoral Operational Programmes in Poland after 2005 accompanied by a dynamic increase in the number of enterprises providing professional trainings brought about broader accessibility to educational and training services on the market. However, despite unquestionable cognitive benefits of the broad participation of SME employees in various training projects, in many cases the training did not bring spectacular results. Our analyses made in SMEs confirm that merit-related involvement in the proper selection of the trainings is of varied quality. Only one in five companies under analysis makes use of the professional tools and almost one third of the SMEs do not diagnose their training needs.

This article looks at the research model as well as research results on a level of transfer of the effects of training to the work environment along with the organizational factors defining it. The aim is to assess the level of training transfer as a product of intensity and frequency of implementation training results at work, as well as to characterize companies where the level of transfer is the highest and lowest. Also investigated is the correlation between the level of transfer and different organizational factors confirming the correlation of such transfer with possibilities for implementing knowledge in practice, support for implementing change by subordinates, and organizational openness for changes and rewards for implementing the training results.

This text undertakes a discussion on how the requirements of standardized quality management systems (SQMS) determine the range and the manner of human resource management in organizations. Attention is paid to two basic matters. All requirements relating to human resource management in SQMS concern exclusively staff performing work that influences the meeting of requirements involving the product. The question of how the situation of the workers of such organizational units looks where direct influence on the meeting of product requirements is difficult to examine (e.g. accounting departments) may also be raised. Should they be subject to the same management practices or not?

The armies of western countries make significant efforts to process the experience earned in different peacekeeping missions, conflicts, war and other sources and make use of it in military training and technical development. At the same time, the Hungarian military has not built a system to make use of this experience and it is wasted away. Since our NATO membership, the success and speed of exchanging old terminology with presently used modern ones among the allies varies.

The social and economic development largely depends on the qualification of specialists with university education and their capability to generate and utilize innovations. Instead of the narrow specialization, a model of training a flexible specialist of XXI century is discussed, designed to foster a specialist capable for effective adaptation and learning life-long. The model emphasizes the need to strengthen the scientific and humanitarian focus in the training process as an important factor for its quality enhancement. The scientific focus of training provides for the systemic character and deepness of knowledge in parallel with time saving. The purpose of humanistic training is to foster personal qualities in a student, on the principles of integrity between training and moral upbringing, pluralism, scientific character and secularism, humanism, focus on the human factor. Humanization of the higher education is based on the creative pedagogy and creatology as a scientific field about creativity of training, when a student is not merely a listener but a teacher's partner. The training process based on the humanistic paradigm makes emphasis on the student's personality and humanizes him/her. Also, other tools to improve training for students are involved: economic training, to foster market-specific competencies; language training, to attain proficiency in Ukrainian as the official language and one of foreign languages; physical training.

Communication, motivation and taking important decisions influence on personal feelings. Prospects of development, age and predispositions of employees correlate with job rotations very much. In consequences money expense and time can cause a slowing down a company progress.

The transmission of actor training is a complex topic within theatre studies. Michel Saint-Denis’ actor pedagogy, often neglected by theatre historians, is an exemplary case study for two main reasons. Firstly, he (Jacques Copeau’s nephew, student and heirs) was the first to translate the acting practices rediscovered in the École du Vieux-Colombier and by the Copiaus group into a fixed method. Secondly, he led and adapted Copeau’s teachings in the Anglophone theatrical world. This study explores the first institutional context created by Saint-Denis that also constitutes the prototype of his pedagogy: the London Theatre Studio, founded in 1935 and active until the outbreak of World War II. The study investigates the transition from an entirely experimental practice – that is, the research undertaken by Copeau with his pupils – to an established method. This system was conceived for transmission, and therefore standardised. Saint-Denis appears to be the custodian of Copeau’s legacy, responsible for translating a combination of experimental workshops into a structured method and for their further development in acting school programmes. Furthermore, upon his relocation from France to England, Saint-Denis contaminates the British theatrical milieu, becoming the link between two different theatre cultures.

Globalization is a great challenge, especially for interpreters. Unfortunately, the European Union still lacks sufficient standardization in the area of interpreting. This, in many countries, results in market self-regulation, which leads to abnormalities. The author gives examples of some shameful absurdities while seeking answers to questions concerning characteristics of a good interpreter.

Qualitative and quantitative changes in dogs' information-seeking behaviours during the subsequent phases of operant conditioning training using a scent lineup, were investigated. Particular interest was paid to behaviours which may have an impact on errors committed by dogs at work in a scent lineup and thus on the reliability of the canine identification of humans on the base of scent. Significant individual differences were found in dogs' performance in operant conditioning during match-to-sample trials. The style and time of sniffing the pattern scent sample as well as the searching time and number of stations sniffed in the lineup were found to influence the percentage of errors (false positive and false negative indications) made by dogs. The effects of the dogs' routine e.g. omitting stations, using other cues than olfactory ones (visual) and effects of the non-verbal communications between handler and dog have been discussed.

An evaluation culture in the EU Cohesion Policy is developing. It applies a more rigorous approach than few years ago. Although the European Commission is introducing a requirement for impact evaluations, such evaluations are still rare. An employment is one of the core objectives of EU policies. Application of the counterfactual impact evaluation on the EU Cohesion Policy enables the inquiry into how one of the most important EU policies operates. The analysis comprises a sample of 373 supported and 202 rejected applicants. The appraisal experts´ approach to applications is used as an instrumental variable to estimate the impacts of the assistance from the European Social Fund in Czech companies through interventions aimed at training of employees. The results indicate positive effects of the European Social Fund’s assistance in companies even one year after the support ended. The estimates vary between 3 838 and 5 513 created or saved jobs.

The article tackles the problems of motivation for environmentally oriented activity. The shortcomings of practical application of external positive and negative motivations are addressed. The main emphasis is on the formation and activation of a person's internal motivation to environmentally friendly activities through “green” education and science. The development of such an approach should complement the economic incentives to reduce human impact on the environment, and will also contribute to a more adequate accounting of the value of natural functions in the economic valuation of ecosystem services.
