MicroLearning is not so new theoretical way of creating courses and study materials (processing subject matter) but maybe due to its limitations was not used much in university e-Learning course creation. Some authors see MicroLearning as one of trends in e-Learning, we look at reasons why MicroLearning can be suitable solution and which basic rules are with it connected. Presented is experience we gained when creating MicroLearning course for our students and pitfalls connected with this approach. Literature says that ML is not suitable for use with complex skills and creation of small learning units can lead to loosing general overview in specific subject matter. Described are students’ opinions on MicroLearning course we have created. Opinions were generally positive although just small sample of respondents was questioned.","PeriodicalId":20565,"journal":{"name":"PROCEEDINGS OF THE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE OF COMPUTATIONAL METHODS IN SCIENCES AND ENGINEERING 2019 (ICCMSE-2019)","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90633260","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}

Although constructed wetlands consist of simple systems, the water flow is complex and irregular, therefore, the study of hydrodynamics requires the use of experimental technics such as tracer experiments. To evaluate the effects of the use of three different analytical methods to compute the concentration of lithium chloride on the main hydrodynamics parameters, tracer experiments were conducted in ten independent lab-scale constructed wetlands. The concentration of lithium chloride in the output flow of the wetlands was calculated by flame photometry, electrical conductivity using a calibration curve and electrical conductivity using the salt molar conductivity. The paired samples T-test or the non-parametric Wilcoxon’s Signed-Ranks test were used to demonstrate that the computed hydraulic retention time and the number of tanks accordingly with the tanks-in-series model were not significantly affected by the selected analytical method.","PeriodicalId":20565,"journal":{"name":"PROCEEDINGS OF THE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE OF COMPUTATIONAL METHODS IN SCIENCES AND ENGINEERING 2019 (ICCMSE-2019)","volume":"66 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77821476","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}

Two main groups of people were recruited for the study: (1) active people (n=607; regularly participating in sport activities) and (2) inactive people (n= 494; not participating in sports activities). We used second part of S.QUA.L.A. questionnaire where participants evaluated perceived satisfaction with 23 indicators using the 5-point rating scale. The lower mean score meant the higher perceived satisfaction. For our investigation we analysed perceived satisfaction with only one indicator “overall health”. Statistical analysis was performed using IBM SPSS version 23.0. The data were statistically tested by the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test of the sample distribution normality. One-way ANOVA was used to determine the differences in perceived satisfaction with health within three evaluated groups based on their health status. Post-hoc Bonferroni test was used to examine the differences in satisfaction with health between two groups of population based on their health status. Student’s two-sample t test was used to examine the differences between active and inactive people within each population group based on their health status. We found the highest level of perceived satisfaction with overall health in the group of healthy actively living population and the lowest perceived satisfaction with overall health in the group of inactive people with NCDs. In the group of active as well as inactive people we found significantly higher perceived satisfaction with health in the group of healthy people comparing people with NCDs and people with disabilities. No significant differences were found in the comparison of perceived satisfaction with overall health between people with NCDs and people with disabilities nor in the group of active neither inactive population.
