With the increase in the number of university students, the number of those who do not finish successfully the tertiary education is also increasing. The article uses a specific data source and analyses only a part of the group of unsuccessful students who re-enroll. This is a specific group of students -they did not finish the tertiary study in the past, but after some time they returned to education. The aim of the paper is to find significant factors that influence the decision whether the student changes the studied school or field of study. Factors will be searched using decision trees and binary logistic regression. Both methods were significant for gender and the fact that a student is studying his preferred university. Logistic regression adds to the student's health disadvantage. The data were obtained from the EUROSTUDENT survey, which was held in the Czech Republic in 2016 under the auspices of the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports. The results can be used to identify a risky candidate or student at the beginning of tertiary education. Highlights •Students who definitely do not work at their preferred college are 6.3 times more likely to have unsuccessfully completed tertiary education in the past than students who definitely study in their preferred university • Men are 1.426 times more likely to have an unsuccessful past tertiary education than women • Students with a health disadvantage are 1.3 times more likely to have an unsuccessful past tertiary education than students who do not suffer from health complications

Humanitarian workers operate in complex environments with various challenges and demanding working conditions. These challenges put aid workers in a range of risks and under the pressure. However, human resources are crucial for success of humanitarian operations in general. At the same time, each humanitarian operation is reliant on logistics and logistics activities are always connected with logistic staff. Understanding what motivates logisticians to join the humanitarian sector is essential information for humanitarian organizations and for recruiters within. Also, knowing which factors influence motivation and job satisfaction of humanitarian logisticians could help the organizations to struggle with the extremely turnover they have to face. Up to this moment, needed skills and the performance of humanitarian logisticians were examined. Also, the motivators of humanitarian workers are covered in previous research. Therefore, the additional aim of this research is to extend the knowledge about the human resources in humanitarian sector as well.

A Business Tendency Survey (BTS) is one of popular instruments used for providing rough forecasts of future conditions of the national economy. Economists, journalists and analysts are not the only ones interested in the future development of the economy; ordinary citizens are also attentive to such forecasts. The Czech Statistical Office publishes results of the BTS in two forms: balance, and basic indices, respectively. The paper focuses on the base of basic indices, and investigates why the base is different for different European countries and protracts attention to a related question whether a point estimate such as a base year or long-term average is suitable for the Czech Republic. The aim of the paper is to find the most suitable base for the Czech Republic in terms of getting the tightest match between the obtained and predicted values of economic indicators. Findings from this study should be important for obtaining better predictions and enhancing capabilities of the BTS.
