31. The relationship between concern for environmental sustainability and the capacity for wisdom and other factors among postgraduate business students : an international comparisonBernard McKenna, Roberto Biloslavo, 2014, published scientific conference contribution Abstract: The paper presents the results of an exploratory international survey, excluding USA, of postgraduate business students including MBAs. The central purpose was to consider the relationship between the propensity for wisdom and adopting an ecological perspective that is more compatible with long-term planetary sustainability. Other variables were considered. Students were more inclined to the New Ecological Paradigm [NEP], with a significant strong correlation between the level of wisdom and environmental concern. Stronger NEP and wisdom scores were positively correlated with subjective wellbeing and psychological wellbeing. Although there was no correlation between gender and wisdom, there was a positive correlation between wisdom and those with children as well as those who are partnered, suggesting the importance of experience in wisdom formation. Gender also did not correlate with environmental concern. Students reasonably strongly agreed with sustainability being a significant part of the Business degree curriculum. Further curriculum implications are provided.

36. Koprska fizika 19. stoletjaStanislav Južnič, 2010, original scientific article Abstract: The development of the physics teaching in Capodistran secondary school between Giuseppe Tartini and late 19th century brought those day experimental tools and books closer to our knowledge with a testimony of the high level education of those days. We had to concentrate on Vlacovich's accomplishment as he was the most important Capodistran professor of 19th century. He stood on the shoulders of his predecessors when he published his works in most important journals of his era. Our research also had something to say about his work in Trieste. The instruments bought for cabinet in Capodistrian Grammar School were certainly on European level during the second half of 19th. Therefore we compared them with similar equipment used in Grammar Schools of Klagenfurt, Novo Mesto, and Ljubljana. In this kind of research we had a lucky hand because we were able to double-check all data with yearly Grammar School Programs and yearly inventories. We mostly used the inventories of Ljubljana and Capodistrian Grammar School which makes this work one of the first of its kind founded on reliable sources. The Programs also contained the data of the cabinets' incomes. Those days school directors also liked to provide the listings of professors. They sometimes also noted their textbooks or rough sketch of teaching plans. We examined the old books from the times of Padres Scholarum Piarum which are still kept in the library of Italian Grammar School Gian Rinaldo Carli. Their bulk testimonies about the interests of those days professors and their students because so far ago the acquisition of the instruments was far from standardized and the professors personally decided what they need for education and also for research, which is not the case of modern Secondary Schools with no research involved. The Padres Scholarum Piarum with their pedagogical dedication were deeply involved in the Coastland everyday life after they somewhat became the competitors of the Jesuit order and even their replacement after the suppression of the Jesuits in 1773. On this occasion we provide one of the very first serious analyzes of the Padres Scholarum Piarum accomplishment also in comparison with their contemporary Jesuits' competitors
