The cosmologies of the pre-Socratics are usually considered to be independent, distinctive conceptions. Within the framework of these cosmologies, however, David J. Furley was able to differentiate “linear” and “centrifocal” conceptions, while Daniel W. Graham distinguished “meteorological” and “lithic” models; by way of these, they pointed out the common features of individual cosmologies and at the same time showed how they had evolved. It is, however, possible to conclude that they are both discussing the same thing. Pre-Socratic cosmologies, that is to say, experienced a significant development that was based on a change in the concept of the space of the universe. While in the Ionian archaic cosmologies of the 6th century BCE the space of the universe usually extended only between the flat Earth and the heaven, in the following century it was already being extended around the entire Earth. This led to a change not only in the concept of celestial bodies and their orbits, but in additional cosmological aspects as well. The cause of this development was Parmenides’ conception of the space of the universe, consisting of a spherical heaven with a spherical Earth in its center.

Kosmologie předsokratiků se obvykle považují za nezávislé osobité koncepce. David J. Furley však v jejich rámci odlišil „lineární“ a „centrifokální“ pojetí, zatímco Daniel W. Graham „meteorologický“ a „lithický“ model. Poukázali tím na společné rysy jednotlivých kosmologií a zároveň naznačili jejich vývoj. Lze ovšem soudit, že oba vypovídají o stejné události. Předsókratovské kosmologie totiž prošly výrazným vývojem, který vycházel ze změny v pojetí prostoru univerza. Zatímco se v iónských archaických kosmologiích 6. století př. n. l. prostor univerza zpravidla rozpínal pouze mezi plochou Zemí a nebem, v následujícím století byl již akcentován kolem celé Země. Tím došlo ke změně nejen v pojetí nebeských těles a jejich oběhů, ale i dalších kosmologických aspektů. Příčinou tohoto vývoje byla Parmenidova koncepce prostoru univerza, sestávajícího ze sférického nebe s kulovou Zemí v jeho středu.

Activation and grassroots initiative of inhabitants are components of social change affecting local development. It is here that ideas materialise through the actions of individuals. It is assumed that development always exists in an active relation to social and cultural change, involving human, financial, environmental and infrastructural resources. It includes primarily community interactions of individuals in the process of activation for the local environment. The study assumed the hypothesis that activation and grass-roots initiative have a significant impact on local development of auxiliary units. The management of local affairs is based on the assumption that inhabitants of a certain area constitute a community aware of their needs and objectives, able to manage their own affairs independently. Activation and development of the community is defined as a collective undertaking, which requires, among other things, emotional commitment and effort of residents. It is a process that follows the steps of planned operation which involves preparing the action programme, establishing the aim, and setting ways to its implementation. At the same time there must be determined a method which will allow to achieve the intended effectiveness of the undertaking. Comprehensive understanding of activation and grassroots initiative indicates the role of development planning, strategy, and the importance of citizen participation in building a better future for their own socio-cultural environment. Activation within the meaning of citizen activation is associated with the search for independence and identification with the community and place as a “little homeland.”

Knowledge-intensive business services are one of the most dynamically developing areas in contemporary economies and at the same time they constitute one of the fundamental pillars of a knowledge economy. The services are provided by private enterprises, the activity of which is mostly based on the professional knowledge of workers. They supply knowledge-based products and services delivering satisfaction to intermediate demand. These are related, among others, to research and development activity, legal activity, activity in the sphere of architecture and engineering or information technology services. Interest in knowledge-intensive business services (KIBS) is a result of rapidly occurring changes in recent decades, the creation of a knowledge economy and an information society, the growing importance of knowledge and human capital as well as innovativeness. The goal of the article is to present the changes occurring in the sphere of KIBS in Poland between 2005 and 2012 with special attention focussed on employment and its forecast.

The modern organization is becoming more complex and dynamic. Handling such an organization often requires new solutions in order to quickly counter complexity in economy, politics and private life sectors. The cure to this situation may be understanding the complex connections between elements in the system. Thereupon, in the article the modern organization is presented with the use of a network using know-why type thinking as also a model of an effective system taken from nature, which refers to two determinants – integration and development. The aim of the article is an attempt to answer the question what conditions have to be fulfilled, for the organization to give a feeling of integration and development with a detailed focus on the balance between the two factors.

The high social capital favours, as matter of fact, development of entrepreneurship, because it allows for more effective realisation of the aims of enterprises and achieving competitive advantage by them. Admittedly, economic growth itself is also possible with a comparatively low level of the social capital, however, in the long-term perspective the low level of the social capital works as a hampering factor. Also, factors affecting development of entrepreneurship do not subject to a quantitative formulation. In the past, the conclusion was formulated, on the basis of the general cultural differences among societies, that some societies are not capable of achieving intensive economic development in the conditions of the modern economy.

The purpose of the paper is to discuss the evolution of India’s assistance programmes for economic development of partner countries. The recent rejuvenation of India’s aid is in line with the broader phenomenon of the re-appearance of so called ‘emerging donors’. The bulk of publicity is on China and there are still gaps in scholarly writings on India. The paper herein aims to address those gaps, providing insight on the scope and geographical reach of India’s aid activities, the selection of modalities and sectors supported as well as changing patterns of aid administration. The literature review and interviews were conducted to fulfill this goal. The re-appearance of India as a development assistance donor was the consequence of a decade of rapid economic growth. The rejuvenated programmes are more diverse, focused not only on Nepal and Bhutan but also on other countries within India’s extended neighborhood. The point of gravity was moved from infrastructure support towards capacity building. There are continuous attempts to centralize aid administration. India’s foreign aid programme is still growing and seeking strategic long-term orientation.

The paper presents reflections rising from a study on adult learning professions in Poland. Changes in the socio-political and legal context created phenomena that have occurred in the adult education systems, mechanisms and approaches. The article focuses on the impact of those processes on a specific professional group – adult educators. Because of the increasing importance of life long learning and the promising vision of a knowledge society, new initiatives in education open challenging possibilities for human development.Based on interviews with practitioners the article describes the professional situation of adult educators: training, development, awareness, values, priorities and practice. There  is a new trend noticeable in these interviews – the emergence of a new kind of educator. The specific working style of this new group (operating like a closed caste) with a specific language and communication style, value system, ethics and critical skills resulted in the creation of the new culture of life long learning. The culture of adult educators has developed skills of survival in fragmented reality of Polish educational policy, a chaotic legal frame and the strong pressure of labour market.

The development of market structures occurs in conditions of uncertainty and risk, which is reflected in the activities of all stakeholders of transport and logistics system in the region. If we understand how the risk of loss or reduced income occurs, we can calculate the likelihood of it. Most important in this regard is risk prediction, since its probability can be determined, and due to the forecasts the management of territorial risks can be developed.

John Paul II in his writings repeatedly pointed to the problems that affect both individual man and entire nations. The twentieth anniversary of Pope Paul VIʼs encyclical Populorum Progressio has become an opportunity for John Paul II to document the predicament of his predecessor to analyze the pains of the modern world. One of the most serious problems of world-wide perceived by the pope in the mid-eighties of the twentieth century in the encyclical Sollicitudo rei socialis was the so- Social question. The number of countries on the way of development far exceeded the number of developed countries, economic and cultural gap between the south and north so called. The south was still deepening. The key to resolving this global crisis is, according to John Paul II, the interpersonal and international solidarity. According to the Pope, only through mutual multidimensional and multifaceted assistance and cooper-ation is the integral development of every individual and the development of entire nations and states.

There are many misconceptions about what is called “integral education”. We propose an integral approach to education based on the historical thinking of John Dewey and on the more recent AQAL concept by Ken Wilber. At the centre of integral education, there is a Subject. Subject equals his/her perspective. Integral education is a process of constructing/creating perspectives in the subject. We propose that four main perspectives can be applied to the educational process and the Integral Education Matrix includes these perspectives. The matrix can be a useful tool for planning actions and outcomes in the process of education.
