Discussions about the Talmudic Origin of Hevra Kaddisha in the Allgemeine Zeitung des Judenthums, Die Neuzeit and Oesterreichische Wochenschrift
No full textIn the present article, the background of two discussions about the origin of Hevra Kaddisha (Jewish funeral brotherhood), which took place in the pages of the journals Allgemeine Zeitung des Judenthums, Die Neuzeit and Oesterreichische Wochenschrift in 1888–1889 and 1891–1893, is revealed. These discourses show that the efforts of the authors, trying to prove the Talmudic origin of this organization, were not only based on the conclusions of their research activity. Therefore, the study tries to find out the reasons and motivations of this claim. Primarily, it comes from the analysis of both discussions, the causes of their origin and their impact on further scientific research on Hevra Kaddisha. To put both of these discussions in a wider context and to uncover the motivations of particular authors, the paper presents the character of all three journals as well as the biographies of the individual authors and their relation to the then philological research concerning the topic of Hevra Kaddisha. Next, the whole question of Hevra Kaddisha is put into the context of the fight between the Jewish orthodoxy and the reform movement, the struggle of the Jewish communities against antiSemitism and also the context of internal contradiction in the movement Wissenschaft des Judentums.In the present article, the background of two discussions about the origin of Hevra Kaddisha (Jewish funeral brotherhood), which took place in the pages of the journals Allgemeine Zeitung des Judenthums, Die Neuzeit and Oesterreichische Wochenschrift in 1888–1889 and 1891–1893, is revealed.

DESIGN EXAMPLE OF STORAGE SYSTEM USING THE LOGISTICS PRINCIPLES
No full textV príspevku je uvedený príklad navrhovanie skladovacieho systému s využitím princípov logistiky - systémový prístup, koordinácia, plánovitosť, algoritmické myslenie a globálna optimalizácia. Skladovanie v tomto prípade chápeme ako podsystém logistického systému a zároveň ako proces. Proces navrhovania skladovacieho systému je aplikáciou procesu navrhovania logistických systémov, ktoré je tvorene fázami: identifikácia projektu, voľba paradigmy procesu navrhovania, analýza systému, syntéza logistického systému a hodnotenie projektu. Tieto kroky sú modifikované pre návrh skladovacieho systému. Príklad navrhovania skladovacieho systému je vyjadrený v podobe vývojového diagramu. Prezentovaný postup navrhovania a vývojový diagram je možné ďalej dotvárať a dopĺňať v závislosti od problémov, ktoré môžu byť identifikované v rámci procesu navrhovania.The paper presents an example of design a storage system using the logistics principles - system approach, coordination, planning, algorithmic thinking and global optimization. In this case, storage is understood as a subsystem of the logistics system and too as a process. The design process of storage system is the application of design logistics systems. This process consists of several phases: project identification, design process paradigm selection, system analysis, logistics synthesis and project evaluation. These steps are modified for the design of the storage system. The example of a storage system design is expressed as a flowchart. The presented design process and flowchart can be further refined and supplemented depending on the problems, which can be identified in the design process
Landscape as a Benchmark: Poetics of Place as a Critical Tool in W.H. Auden’s Prose
No full textW.H. Auden had a profound and clearly defined spatial awareness. As an editor of anthologies, Professor of Poetry at Oxford and author of essays, reviews, forewords and introductions, he was also prolific in the profession of a literary critic judging the work of others. This paper traces the connections between these two facets, with a special emphasis on Auden’s readiness to use other writers’ topophilic responsiveness to the physical environment and landscape as a benchmark for assessing their qualities. Focusing on Auden’s critical assessment of Wordsworth, Frost, Betjeman and Rilke on the basis of their poetics of place, the present study examines Auden’s implementation of this criterion in his critical method.

Transport as a modern and dynamic segment is constantly developing rapidly. It reflects the demands of faster, more efficient and safer transport, on the other hand it brings with it the risk of emergency events with negative consequences for the life, health of the population and the environment. The assessment of the consequences of mobile accident hazards has been solved in the European Union marginally. The issue of assessing and evaluating mobile sources of risk is not regulated by law and therefore there is insufficient pressure to manage and reduce risks. The aim of the present contribution is to point out that the transport of dangerous substances, in terms of the nature of transported material, presents a special hazard in the event of an emergency, especially for humans. Leaked toxic or flammable substances may endanger the life and health of many people. The contribution of this article is also a practical example detailed assessment of risks related to the transport of hazardous substances by road
A TACTICAL CONFLICT PREDICTION OF A PAIR OF AIRCRAFT
No full textČlánok obsahuje matematický model taktickej predikcie konfliktu dvojice lietadiel. Taktická predikcia konfliktu lietadiel má upozorniť riadiaceho na okamžitú potenciálnu nebezpečnú situáciu. Okolo lietadla L je definovaný konfliktný priestor, ktorý je rotačný elipsoid. Lietadlo L sa nachádza v strede konfliktného priestoru a lietadlo M sa voči nemu pohybuje relatívnou rýchlosťou R, ktorá je rozdielom rýchlosti lietadla M a lietadla L. V modele sa extrapoluje dráha lietadla M v smere vektora relatívnej rýchlosti zbližovania po dobu predstihu p. Ak má extrapolovaná dráha s konfliktným priestorom lietadla L spoločný aspoň jeden bod, signalizuje sa konflikt.The paper presents a mathematical model of tactical conflict prediction of a pair of aircraft. The objective of a tactical conflict prediction is to signal immediate danger situation to an air traffic controller. The conflict volume of en aircraft L is in the airspace formed around the aircraft L that is fixed in the centre of the conflict volume which is a rotational ellipsoid. The aircraft M moves with a constant relative velocity R with regard to aircraft L. If the extrapolated trajectory has at least one common point with the protected volume , then the point is enclosed in the protected volume and the conflict is signalled
Hungry for Truth and (Hi)story: Images of Food in Alias Grace by Margaret Atwood
No full textAlias Grace is a historiographic metafiction written by Margaret Atwood in 1996 about Grace Marks, imprisoned for double murder. The style of the novel is a convincing reconstruction of the Victorian historical novel because of authentic descriptions of 19th century Canadian households and domestic life and its regular meals. The food motif is a vivid undercurrent in Alias Grace just as it is in Atwood’s other novels. Images of food intensify the realistic portrait of Canada, however, the food operates on a deeper, symbolic level: images of food, eating, and hunger are often interwoven with the power and class injustice. The analysis shows that hunger is not only physical experience and a hard fact of prisoner’s life but it can be metaphorical, manifested as hunger for truth and story. The article argues that imprisoned Grace controls her hunger to usurp responsibility for her story. It also illustrates that women are constantly associated with food and edibles and thus it points to related issues of cannibalism and power struggles. Although the motifs of food, eating and cannibalism have been discussed by numerous critics including Sarah Sceats, Heidi Darroch, and Sharon Rose Wilson, this article extends their research by exploring Atwood’s strategies of writing and storytelling using food images. The article examines Atwood’s postmodern technique of cooking up the Alias Grace from many historical texts and using genre fiction ingredients
