Technological progress requires higher quality and quantity of human resources working in engineering field, however, the interest of youth in studying the field is falling steadily. A project “Education in engineering and its optimisation for the needs of the labour market” led by the Technical Agency of the Czech Republic (TAČR), which is implemented by the Faculty of Education at the University of Ostrava together with the National Engineering Cluster is focused on discovering the factors influencing the choice of these fields, students´ satisfaction with their studies, study aspiration and manifestation of an in-depth interest in technical fields. The results of a pilot research confirm that almost one half of the students believe they possess aptitudes for engineering professions.","PeriodicalId":179037,"journal":{"name":"AD ALTA: 10/01","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126645221","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"EXISTENTIAL MOTIFS IN SLOVAK LITERATURE WITH THE ISSUE OF THE SHOAH","authors":"","doi":"10.33543/1001117","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.33543/1001117","url":null,"abstract":"The study deals with existential motifs in selected fiction and memoir works of Slovak literature, which thematically focus on World War II. and the Holocaust of the Slovak Jewish minority. As we considered the fact that many works of Slovak provenance with this issue were published (especially after 1989), we focused only on a selection of those works, which contains fiction and non-fiction literature and memoir works written by surviving Jews, in which they gave valuable testimony about the Holocaust and anti-Semitism of the war-torn Slovak state and post-war society. Based on the interpretation and analysis of Shoah-themed works, we detect recurring existential motifs: degradation of human dignity, feelings of guilt for one's own survival, Auschwitz traumas, and the motif of The Lost Generation.","PeriodicalId":179037,"journal":{"name":"AD ALTA: 10/01","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116385945","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
