Čeština Bedřicha Smetany: Analýza Smetanovy česky psané korespondence

Author(s): Lucie Rychnovská / Language(s): Czech / Publication Year: 2019

The monograph deals with the research of the composer Bedřich Smetana’s Czech. Smetana (1824–1884) lived in the period of time which is, in works on history of Czech language, referred to as revival or post-revival. From the linguistic perspective, this period is typical of replacement of German by Czech in the function of high communication variety and formation of modern standard language norm. The publication poses a question how contemporary speakers, who were educated but were not professionally involved in Czech language (as e. g. writers or journalists), mastered this norm. By the analysis of orthographical, grammatical and also complementarily of lexical aspects of Smetana’s correspondence, the monograph demonstrates how is Smetana’s expressing prototypical and in contrary extraordinary. The aim of the work is also to contribute to the knowledge of constitutive standard language of the second half of the 19th century.

Řízení rizik v pojišťovnictví

Author(s): František Řezáč / Language(s): Czech / Publication Year: 2011

The aim of the monograph is to expand the reader’s theoretical knowledge of insurance-based risk management and to generalize the findings of specific research studies.

Particular attention is paid to the relationship between risk and valuation. The publication also lists examples of models in risk management relating to both companies and individuals, specifically those involving solutions to protect against the risk of fire and flood.

Řízení zpětných toků

Author(s): Radoslav Škapa,Alena Klapalová / Language(s): Czech / Publication Year: 2011

Reverse flows include several types of flows – raw, material, product, packaging, information, and financial – and therefore they pose a source of different types of values. Reverse flow management includes all activities related to the reverse flows including reverse logistics, effective control of inputs and efforts to reduce reverse flows. The implementation of reverse flowstakes place through internal processes in an enterprise but a substantial part of them occurs within the Supply Chain Management. Interest in reverse flows from practitioners and theorists increased in the 1980s; yet in many models and methods that emerged just in the 1980s and which aim to ensure success (see, e.g., process management models, EFQM, Balanced Score card, etc.) reverse flows were omitted and this situation continues partly until today. Nevertheless, the management of reverse flows is currently considered to be one of the key supply chain management competencies. For some industries reverse flows may even be critical to their competitiveness and success. The perception of the importance and impact of reverse flows on the management and the existence of companies, however, varies considerably among managers. The monograph presents a part of the results of the authors’ empirical research conducted for several years, focused on the attitude of Czech companies to reverse flow management in terms of the perception of a potential value. In addition, it presents a compilation of current knowledge in the field of reverse flow management and value creation within these flows. These findings surely cannot be considered to be a comprehensive summary of the theories, concepts, definitions, etc., as these issues are continuously evolving and involve multiple aspects of management of companies and organizations (including non-profit ones).

Ústav slavistiky: Východiska a perspektivy

Author(s): Ivo Pospíšil,Aleš Brandner,Halina Myronova,Pavel Krejčí,Václav Štěpánek,Roman Madecki,Josef Šaur / Language(s): Czech / Publication Year: 2019

This volume has its roots in the brochure published on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the Department of Slavonic Studies (2005)1 summarizing its previous development. The department came into being in 1995 though its predecessors under various names, e. g. Slavonic Seminar or partial departments or sections belonging to wider entities dealing with individual Slavonic languages and literatures, have never ceased to exist since 1919. The original Slavonic Seminar was one of the founder institutes or departments of the newly founded Masaryk University (1919). The Slavonic studies have always been understood as something very substantial in the structure of Central European universities. This fact was an advantage on the one hand, and a disadvantage on the other as it could bring new impulses both in the material study and the methodology of various scientific disciplines, but, at the same time, in the political situation of the region it could also enter delicate and rather complicated and controversial political contexts. The real Slavonic studies represented not only the language and literature research, but, on the contrary, a wide range of facts connected with some other disciplines, such as history, philosophy, sociology, social psychology etc.; especially this wide, area conception I tried to cultivate from the very beginning of the existence of the department unlike the traditional, narrow, purely philological concept which hitherto dominated in university philologies. This approach needs a relative standstill as well as a dynamic, creative, and methodological unrest, the chance to participate in topical political processes in the sphere of applied research as a part and a co-creator of the state foreign policy. The Slavonic studies cover the diachronous as well as the synchronous research touching the hotspots of the subject, but always with a certain degree of distance and a detached view. This methodological foundation has been preserved in the whole course of the existence of the Department of Slavonic studies at Masaryk University. The contemporary situation of the department reflects both the traditions and the necessity of new, more radical structural development. The body of the department is subdivided into the so-called seminars (sections) covering the specific disciplines due to the area concept of Slavonic studies: East-Slavonic Languages and Literatures (Russian studies, Ukrainian studies, partly Byelorusian and rarely also Ruthenian studies represented from time to time by specific guest lectures). The Seminar of South Slavonic and Balkan Studies deals with the whole complex of the Slavonic and non-Slavonic Balkans. The Seminar of West-Slavonic Studies focuses on Polish studies, partly on Slovak and Sorbian studies: the development of individual disciplines was rather complicated and has sometimes undergone substantial changes. The department also guarantees the doctoral programme of comparative and philologicalarea studies. To sum up: at present, the Department of Slavonic Studies at the Faculty of Arts of Masaryk University covers practically all the disciplines of Slavonic studies either as complex programmes or as separate subjects present from time to time in the complex programmes. The specific position has been occupied by Philological-Area Studies as a backbone of Slavonic studies in general. After the general reform of the study the in 2018, the area approach will be the dominant principle of all the newly conceived programmes and separately will be present in the doctoral programme as Philological-Area Studies. The Slavonic studies have always had a specific position in the framework of the university and the Faculty of Arts and enjoyed an excellent reputation in European as well as in the world Slavonic studies. The famous past of Slavonic studies at Masaryk university is connected with the names of Václav Vondrák (1859–1925), Stanislav Souček (1870–1935), Roman Jakobson (1896–1982), František Trávníček (1888–1961), Frank Wollman (1888–1969), Sergii Vilinskii (1876–1950), Bohuslav Havránek (1893–1978), Josef Kurz (1901–1972), Václav Machek (1894–1965), later, for example, Josef Hrabák (1912–1987), Jiří Krystýnek (1913–1991), Arnošt Lamprecht (1919–1985), Jaroslav Mandát (1924–1986), Jaroslav Burian (1922–1980), Vlasta Vlašínová (1925–1977), Roman Mrázek (1921–1989), Jiří Jiráček (1924–2013), Radoslav Večerka (1928–2017), Jarmil Pelikán (1928–2017), Krystyna Kardyni-Pelikánová (born 1930), Danuše Kšicová (1932–2017), Stanislav Žaža (1929–2018), Miroslav Mikulášek (born 1930), Ivan Dorovský (born 1935) and other scholars including those who represent the Brno Slavonic studies today. The Department/Institute of Slavonic Studies came into existence on 1st of September 1995: the main goal was to reconstitute the complex of Slavonic studies, to concentrate the scientific research and to guarantee the study of minor Slavonic languages and literatures. The basic conception presupposed the development of Slavonic studies in three major directions: 1) the inner restriction and functionality, practicality and efficiency; 2) the outer expansion, i. e. the radical growth of the number of students in all forms of study; 3) the intrinsic restructuring, the existence of common subjects, the permeation of all disciplines on the basis of the philological and area principles. This conception is being modified nowadays in the form of wider study programmes. At present, the Department of Slavonic Studies publishes four scientific journals, part of various international databases: Slavica litteraria, Opera Slavica, Novaya rusistika (published by the Czech Association of Slavists) and Porta Balkanica (published by a professional society of the same name) together with the internet journal Proudy (Currents) published by the Central-European Centre of Slavonic studies – all the professional societies have the seat in the department. Recently, the department participated in several European projects concerning the area studies and excellent education. The department also organizes several regular international conferences dealing with poetics, literary genres and currents as well as values in literature and arts; several publications appeared in the framework of the so-called specific research and as a result of international cooperation of doctoral students. These days, the Department of Slavonic Studies has a stable position in the structure of European Slavonic research, with a highly developed methodological heading and rich international cooperation with leading institutions dealing with Slavonic studies. It cannot be ignored that the department also immensely participates in the promotion of researchers in Slavonic studies, general linguistics and literary criticism both in and outside the Czech Republic substantially forming the image and scholarly bearings of Slavonic studies in general.

Věrní a rozumní: Kapitoly o ekologické zpozdilosti

Author(s): Hana Librová,Vojtěch Pelikán,Lucie Galčanová,Lukáš Kala / Language(s): Czech / Publication Year: 2016

This book follows the successful titles The Colourful and the Green: Chapters on Voluntary Simplicity and The Half-Hearted and the Hesitant: Chapters on Ecological Luxury. The author poses the question of why, at a time of continuing devastation of nature, people’s interest in nature conservation has been decreasing. Are the media to blame, or is our numbness toward ecological problems perhaps rooted in our mental makeup that tends to supress unpleasant realities? The author also wants to find out why some people have remained faithful to nature. To get to the answers, she applies sociological, philosophical, psychological, and theological perspectives. An unexpected question then arises that may surprise some readers: Why should we actually protect nature when it can take care of itself? It is not weak – it is strong and cruel. Librová’s students Vojtěch Pelikán, Lucie Galčanová, and Lukáš Kala interview the children of “the Colourful,” too: Have they inherited their parents’ modest lifestyle? Version with Bohdan Lacina’s illustrations.

Vybrané kapitoly z fyziky a filosofie

Author(s): Michal Černý / Language(s): Czech / Publication Year: 2018

The book offers a comprehensive and intertwined view of the key philosophical questions that appear in contemporary physics. It combines a historiographic approach to describing the development of individual phenomena with a deeper analysis of selected problems, with an emphasis on their relationship to specific historical contexts. It reflects the themes of the methodology of physics, space-time and anthropic principle, drawing attention to both classical problems, and also to the thought shift in science after 1905, which are associated with quantum physics and general theory of relativity, but also with the expansion of space or the process of solutions to paradoxes in science. It is not only an excursion into the history of human thinking in the field of physics, but it deals with a number of contemporary problems. The publication can find an original discussion of the relation between dark matter and energy and the anthropic principle, a critical analysis of the final anthropic principle or its own definition. The text is the most comprehensive discussion of philosophical questions of physics available in Czech.

Wer man gewesen war. Untersuchungen zum Suizid in der österreichischen Literatur des 20. Jahrhunderts anhand von ausgewählten Werken

Author(s): Erkan Osmanović / Language(s): German / Publication Year: 2018

Every week there is talk in the news of suicide bombers, but apart from that, suicide is a taboo. The literary texts examined here break through this silence. Suicide can be more than just an end, it can become the only way to be yourself. An analysis of the literary text that deals with this subject may reveal to the recipients the causes of suicide. The analysis of suicide in narrative texts can lead to the result that in the suicide the characters find the means by which they are formed. The present monograph outlines how this process takes place. The analysis focuses on the following works: Der Fall Franza by Ingeborg Bachmann, Wunschloses Unglück by Peter Handke, and Der Untergeher by Thomas Bernhard.

What’s wrong?: Hard science and humanities – tackling the question of the absolute chronology of the Santorini eruption

Author(s): Věra Klontza-Jaklová / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 2016

One of the most researched and discussed problems of the Bronze Age in the Aegean is the question of the absolute date of “the Santorini eruption”, i.e. the explosion of the Santorini volcano, a disaster that affected the lives of people in the vast region from Egypt to the Middle East to Central Europe. Opinions of natural sciences and traditional archaeology do not match as they determine that the event could have happened in a broad period from the mid-17th to the end of the 16th century BC. The work analyses individual arguments and methodological approaches and tries to address the question of the disagreement between them.

Zlepšování a environmentální inovace v podniku

Author(s): Viktor Kulhavý / Language(s): Czech / Publication Year: 2012

The publication presents theoretical foundations of continuous improvement and environmental innovation in a company. The interdisciplinary issue is being scrutinized from the perspective of management, organizational psychology and conservation psychology. The neccessary research framework is provided by the theory of planned behaviour. The aim of the conducted research was to find out in what ways employees of a particular business take part in the innovation activities and eco-innovations development. Alongside the theoretical model derived from the theory of planned behaviour has been subject to verification. In this way the appropriateness of employee behavioural intention to make amotion to innovation was examined. It can be summarized that the environmental innovation proposals are not perceived by the employees of the company as a common practice in the process of innovation development. The innovation activities have from a point of view of the foremen and the moderators the aim of productivity increase and making work easier. For the labourers it means above all financial gain as a reward for the innovation proposals. The moderators –according to their opinion – incite the labourers to suggest eco-innovations, however the labourers alone do not perceive their improvement proposals to be environmentally sound.

Функционирование слов категории состояния в древнерусских памятниках XII–XVII вв.

Author(s): Oksana Ushakova / Language(s): Russian / Publication Year: 2016

The monograph deals with the issue of the categories of state (predicative adverbs), which is a debatable point of contemporary Russian linguistics. In the center of interest are therefore indeclinable units that engage only in the predicate role of single-predicate sentences and express the state generally. The monograph completely describes how these words are represented and how they function in Old Russian texts from 12th to 17th century. The analysed units are viewed in lexical, derivative, morphological and syntactic terms. The complex research of such word is carried out in the confrontational diachronic and synchronic aspects of using data from Czech language.
