HUMAN VALUES AND ATTITUDES TOWARDS MONEY
2018
Spending money which is not earned becomes more available practice with help of the various types of cash loans. It causes social problem in society because easiness of getting money puts families at risk due to the high loan percent. Our study aims to understand ifhuman values are related to attitudes towards money and in what way if any.Values are motivational constructs that apply to abstract goals (Schwartz, 1992). Schwartz believes that the main aspect of value contents is the type of goal or the motivation it expresses (Schwartz, 1992). Also, values are abstract goals and do not effect decisions in specific situations they can work as the underlying assumptions for creating attitudes.…

Values are the fundamental determiner behind human endeavours and motivations. Therefore, they constitute a significant element of social life. There exists a close relation between values and rearing and aims of school education. While bringing up a child, formation of its world of values makes the superior goal. The author discusses the issue of forming proper values in children of the early-school age
Ekumeniczna formacja wyzwaniem i zadaniem Kościołów
2020
Sobór Watykański II, który w świadomości katolickiej zapoczątkował głęboki przełom w myśleniu o Kościele i o realizacji jego posłannictwa w świecie, uczynił ekumenizm jednym z zasadniczych paradygmatów ewangelizacyjnych, a permanentną ekumeniczną formację uznał za ważny paradygmat ekumeny wartości. Soborowy „Dekret o Ekumenizmie Unitatis redintegratio” nadaje ekumenicznej formacji właściwe ramy etyczne: domaga się skutecznego wyrzeczenia się logiki podporządkowywania sobie innych na rzecz logiki szacunku i braterstwa. Ekumeniczna formacja stała się więc szczególnym wyzwaniem dla Kościołów i Wspólnot. Jej zadaniem jest nie tylko przekazywanie odpowiedniego zasobu wiedzy na dany temat, ale ta…
Ekumena wartości
2019
Fundamentalną wartością, na której opiera się ekumenia i do której prowadzi, jest wiara w Trójjedynego Boga oparta na dziedzictwie Ewangelii. Ludzkie starania, inicjatywy i programy są tu bardzo ważne. Przyznać jednak należy, że często są one niedoskonałe, a więc i mało skuteczne w osiąganiu zamierzonego celu. Sobór Watykański II uczynił ekumenizm jednym z zasadniczych paradygmatów ewangelizacyjnych Kościoła. Dar jedności nie jest jedynie statyczną właściwością struktur kościelnych. Tkwi w nim moc otwierania Kościoła ku ludzkości i usuwania barier, które dzielą ludzi i Kościoły. Pogłębiając nauczanie soborowe na temat ekumenizmu i jego integracyjnej roli społecznej, Jan Paweł II stwierdził,…
Employer branding peculiarities from a generational perspective: case of Baltic states
2021
Companies have currently acknowledged that it does matter, how current and potential employees see them. Several companies see that they can develop their competitive advantage by creating and sustaining an attractive image of the company. It takes more than beautiful promises, future illusions and lovely pictures of the company – it has to be a culture based on certain values, which are attractive for the potential and current employees. It certainly is especially important for companies, who are operating in fields, where there is a lack of high skilled workers and where headhunting is inevitable. In the existing literature most of the researches are about attracting employees. However, b…
Mapping a-priori defined plant associations using remotely sensed vegetation characteristics
2014
Abstract Incorporation of a priori defined plant associations into remote sensing products is a major challenge that has only recently been confronted by the remote sensing community. We present an approach to map the spatial distribution of such associations by using plant indicator values (IVs) for salinity, moisture and nutrients as an intermediate between spectral reflectance and association occurrences. For a 12 km 2 study site in the Netherlands, the relations between observed IVs at local vegetation plots and visible and near-infrared (VNIR) and short-wave infrared (SWIR) airborne reflectance data were modelled using Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) (R 2 0.73, 0.64 and 0.76 for sali…
Intra-individual variability in TSH levels of healthy women during the first half of pregnancy
2017
TSH is the parameter most widely accepted to assess thyroid function, especially in pregnant women. The aim of this current study was to analyze intra-individual changes in TSH during the first half of pregnancy in women with TSH levels higher than 2.5mIU/L in early pregnancy.An observational, prospective study was conducted on 243 healthy pregnant women in the first trimester of pregnancy. Thyroid function was assessed by testing TSH and free T4 levels. A subgroup of women with TSH levels2.5mIU/L underwent additional tests (TSH, free T4, peroxidase antibodies). Information on dietary iodine intake and/or iodine supplements was also recorded.Mean TSH level was 1.89mIU/L (range 0.024-6.48mIU…
Cytotoxic effects of individual and combined sterigmatocystin and nivalenol on liver hepatocellular carcinoma cells
2020
Abstract Since humans are exposed to different mycotoxins through daily intake, there is increasing concern about the adverse effects of the interactions between them. Cytotoxicity of sterigmatocystin (STE) and nivalenol (NIV) alone and in combination in human hepatocarcinoma (HepG2) cells was evaluated by MTT assay. Furthermore, ROS production and alteration of ΔΨm as mechanisms of action were assessed. Cells were treated with concentrations ranging from 0.15 to 5 μM for NIV and from 0.78 to 50 μM for STE individually and in binary combinations. The combination ratio between the mixture STE + NIV was 10:1. The IC50 values of NIV ranged from 0.96 to 0.66 μM, whereas no IC50 values were obta…
Initial teacher preparation for inclusive education in Ghana : status and challenges
2016
Initial teacher education programs are undergoing reforms to equip pre-service teachers with inclusive skills, knowledge, attitudes, and values that are critical for successful implementation of inclusive education. This dissertation, comprised of four articles and a summary, sought to describe how the colleges of education in Ghana prepare teachers for inclusive education. A descriptive survey research approach was adopted in all four articles.The first article sought to determine the knowledge of pre-service teachers regarding the concept of inclusive education, special education needs (SEN), inclusive pedagogical approaches, and their feelings of self- efficacy in terms of teaching in in…
Spirituality and Ethical Behaviour in the Workplace: Wishful Thinking or Authentic Reality
2008
The link between religion and work is not new. For centuries, people have strived to interpret their work through religious lenses. Recently, however, a significant paradigm shift has occurred. The current view is that spirituality, as opposed to religion, is a better construct for understanding the relationship between the individual and modern pluralistic workplaces. This current perspective, sourced in various socio-cultural factors, views spirituality as positively influencing numerous organisational outcomes. Also implicit within this discourse is the notion that allowing and encouraging spirituality in the workplace leads to improved ethical behaviour at a personal level and an enhanc…
