BRATISLAVA HISTORY
Bratislava is the Capital, and the biggest city in Slovak republic. The population is approximately 450 000. The city spans on both banks of the second longest river in Europe, the river Danube. The strategic position had already in the past secured for Bratislava a significant post among other cities.
Bratislava was founded on the crossroad of two important trade routes - the Podunajská, which connected the east and southeast of Europe with the west, and the Jantarová, which connected the southern, Adriatic area with the northern, Baltic area.
Already in the younger Iron age existed in the place of today's city a settlement of the Celts, who were known for their developed artisan's production. A settlement like this is called Oppidum, and exactly this one was one of the most important in Central Europe.
Starting in the 6th century, Bratislava was inhabited by the Slavs. The first written evidence dates back to the year 907. Until 1918, Bratislava was at first a part of old Hungary, later of the Habsburg Monarchy. It gained the town privileges in 1291 from the Hungarian king Ondrej III. In 1464 Bratislava gained from the king Matej Korvín the privilege of sword. This entitled the Town Council to punish the deliquents with the capital punishment, too.
In the year 1465, the first university in Slovakia was established in Bratislava, Academia Istropolitana. It was founded by Matej Korvín with the approval of the Pope Paul II Two years later, the university started accepting students into four faculties (departments): Theology, Law, Medicine and Philosophy.
In the years 1526-1784, Bratislava was the Capital of the old Hungary. It became the seat of the government, hungarian kings were being crowned in the St.Martin's Cathedral . In 1805, in the Archbishop's Palace, the Bratislava Peace Treaty was signed by Napoleon Bonaparte and the austrian emeperor František I. However, Napoleon didn't respect the treaty, and on June 26-28 in 1809 bombed Bratislava from the right bank of Danube.
Since 1919, Bratislava has been the Capital of Slovak republic.
Pedagogy and teaching
In education, teachers facilitate student learning, often in a school or academy or perhaps in another environment such as outdoors. A teacher who teaches on an individual basis may be described as a tutor.
The objective is typically accomplished through either an informal or formal approach to learning, including a course of study and lesson plan that teaches skills, knowledge and/or thinking skills. Different ways to teach are often referred to as pedagogy. When deciding what teaching method to use teachers consider students' background knowledge, environment, and their learning goals as well as standardized curricula as determined by the relevant authority. Many times, teachers assist in learning outside of the classroom by accompanying students on field trips. The increasing use of technology, specifically the rise of the internet over the past decade has begun to shape the way teachers approach their role in the classroom.
The objective is typically a course of study, lesson plan, or a practical skill. A teacher may follow standardized curricula as determined by the relevant authority. The teacher may interact with students of different ages, from infants to adults, students with different abilities and students with learning disabilities.
Teaching using pedogogy also involves assessing the educational levels of the students on particular skills. Understanding the pedogogy of the students in a classroom involves using differentiated supervision to meet the needs of all students in the classroom. Pedogogy can be thought of in two manners. First, teaching itself can be taught in many different ways, hence, using a pedogogy of teaching styles. Second, the pedogogy of the learners comes into play when a teacher assesses the pedogogic diversity of his/her students and differentiates for the individual students accordingly.
NURSE
Nurses, also called registered nurses or RNs, take care of sick and injured people. They give people medicine. They treat wounds. And they give emotional support to patients and their families.
Nurses ask patients about their symptoms and keep detailed records. They watch for signs that people are sick. Then, nurses help doctors examine and treat patients.
Some nurses help to give tests to find out why people are sick. Some also do lab work to get test results.
Nurses also teach people how to take care of themselves and their families. Some nurses teach people about diet and exercise and how to follow doctors' instructions. Some nurses run clinics and immunization centers.
Nurses can focus on treating one type of patient, such as babies or children. They can also focus on one type of problem. Some focus on helping doctors during surgery, for example. Others work in emergency rooms or intensive care units.
Many nurses work in doctors' offices. They help with medical tests, give medicines, and dress wounds. Some also do lab and office work.
Home health nurses go to people's homes to help them. Flight nurses fly in helicopters to get to sick people in emergencies.
