The aim of the course "European Civilization" is to provide students with an insight into the diverse manifestations of European civilization in close connection with the intellectual, artistic, political, economic and technological development of Europe. Course tasks: 1. To look at the content of the concept “civilization”, as well as the different understandings of the relations between “civilization” and “culture” in the history of philosophical and socio-political thought. 2. To consider the emergence of the preconditions of European civilization in the history of Europe, as well as in the achievements of the ancient civilizations of the Middle East. 3.

To look at the role of Abrahamic religions in the history and contemporary development of the European civilization. 5

The goal of the course is to provide students with knowledge on optimization theory and its methods, which are necessary for further studies in economics. The knowledge and the methods obtained in the course together with other methods of economical analysis are convenient for solution of the real production and planning problems, analysis of business results as well as making optimal decisions (from the point of view of chosen optimization criterion). It is foreseen to consider the theoretical base of linear optimization, its practical application and economical interpretation. Tasks of the study course: 1. To acquire mathematical methods used in tasks of optimal planning economic models, decision analysis and rational activity analysis; 2. To review the theoretical foundations of mathematical modeling, the classification and application of mathematical models, as well as the theoretical foundations of linear optimization methods and their practical application; 3. To look

The course aims to introduce students with mediation as an effective method/part of conflict management, creating awareness of the various aspects of languageusing-possibilities ​​( communication ) in conflict resolution. Course objectives are 1) to provide a basic understanding of dispute resolution , 2) parallel to the acquisition of theoretical knowledge to practice acquisition of mediation-competencies. Mediation has been used successfully in many different kinds of conflicts. It is widely utilized (and very successful) in many EU-countries. The Mediation Directive (Directive 2008/52/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on Certain Aspects of Mediation in Civil and Commercial Matters” ) has been in force since 13 June 2008 and requires the European Member States to implement the necessary laws, regulations and administrative provisions by 20 May 2011 at the latest. Although it is common in international conflicts, mediation has been less successful in that context

The aim of the current course is to offer possibility for the learners to acquire in-depth knowledge and skills for support and educational preschool parents group guiding and to offer possibility for the learners to acquire in-depth information and knowledge of children emotional development at pre-school age. Various parenting support and education programs to deliver psychological support to young children with emotional and behavioral problems, as well as to enhance knowledge of parents concerning early development of children and to improve child-to-parent relationship. During the course the students will be trained to guide programme for parents, focused to extend knowledge of early development of a child and to adjust early emotional relationships during childhood. The emphasis during the course has been put on self-dependent training – leading of support and educational preschool parents group concerning relevant topics: the development of body control, attachment, play

The study course aims at enabling students to learn the modern methods of organisation and planning of business and the professional skills and skills of their use, as well as practices for the organisation and planning methods of economic processes. Description of course tasks: identifying the factors affecting the company and learning the skills of establishing companies; learning the methods of management of companies and their conditions of use; learning modern planning methods and the system of indicators used in planning and learning their skills; learning the skills of building the information system required for the management of the company. Explore the international environment of business activities, meet international agreements, types of international transactions. To meet export and market opportunities.

Aims of the course: The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the applications and technologies of wireless sensor networks. Course objectives: To study the latest scientific publications on wireless sensor networks. Test wireless sensor network systems and protocols. Study system architecture. Develop a functional or conceptual prototype for a wireless sensor network system. Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are composed of a few to several thousand sensor nodes. The nodes have sensors or actuators, can perform computation, and transmit or receive data wirelessly. The sensor nodes are very limited in available resources such as memory, compute power and energy. However, they can work in tandem with their neighbors in the network. This requires a careful design and novel research to achieve the goals given the limited resources and the potentially synergistic environment. In addition, often WSN are deployed in hard to access or hazardous locations, such as on a slope

The study course offers to understand the principles of cooperation pedagogy and forms of cooperation in a pre-primary education institution, highlighting cooperation and interdependence at several levels – educator – child; educator; educator – parent; educator - parent; educator - society. Learned forms of cooperation and their implementation in pre-primary education practices. As part of the course, students developed their professional expertise in the practice of the inter-institutional co-operation organisation, improving the activities of the pre-school education institution and the quality of services provided to the public. Goal of the course: Promote future teachers' understanding of the nature and role of inter-institutional cooperation in the development of children's personality, its various types, acquire professional skills for the implementation of meaningful cooperation in the pedagogical process. Course tasks: 1. Improve knowledge about the nature and role of inter

The aim is to provide students with a basic knowledge of time series analysis, starting with concepts such as time series process, trend, stationarity, seasonality, spectrum and finally defining the popular ARMA processes, which are used to model many real time series. ARMA processes will be the focus of a large part of the course, looking at their properties, fitting them to data, estimating process coefficients and calculating forecasts and associated errors. Non-parametric statistical methods will also be used in both time series trend approximation and spectral analysis. The final part of the course is devoted to insights into financial time series as ARCH and GARCH processes as well as mixing processes describing dependence in general form. For practical exercises programming language R will be used. Tasks: learn the basic concepts of time series theory; analyse time series decomposition; model time series with popular ARMA processes by fitting them to real data; simulate ARMA
