POSSIBILITIES OF PROCESSING THE TRIBODIAGNOSTIC DATA
No full textAs it is difficult to monitor and evaluate the state of operated oil effectively based on individual determinations of many of its tribodiagnostic parameters (TDP), a possibility of processing the procedure of selected methods of multidimensional statistical analysis - principal component analysis (PCA) on the matrix of tribodiagnostic data of worn-out OA-M6 ADS II engine oil and discriminant analysis (DA) – was tried
Poe’s Strategies of Seduction: Transference, Incongruity and the Undecidability of Meaning
No full textWhat makes readers, particularly critics, revisit Poe? One of the objections that can be brought against most psychoanalytic interpretations of his life or work is its omission of “the why.” Why write about Poe? What compels us to return to an author already surrounded by, to use Susan Sontag’s words, “thick encrustations” of criticism and theory? There seems to be an undefined “something,” a certain element “X” in Poe that irresistibly attracts (our) critical commentary. Designating this elusive quality “X” as textual “seduction,” the following article attempts, in a sense, to define the undefinable: that is, to identify and describe some of the Poe-esque characteristics that continue to keep readers and critics glued to his work. Drawing principally from Jacques Lacan’s model of transference, Roland Barthes’ “erotics of reading” and Pierre Bayard’s theory of “applied literature,” this paper posits that some of Poe’s strategies of literary seduction include, on the one hand, anticipated textual effects that operate similarly to transference in their double fulfillment of the analyst’s role of S.s.S and S.s.R and, on the other, carefully constructed thematic incongruities that result in an ultimate “undecidability” of meaning
California Dreams and Nightmares
No full textEver since the discovery of gold in 1848, people have been coming to California in belief that they would be rewarded generously for their hard work and talents. California was thus perceived as the promised land of opportunity and fulfilled dreams. However, for many the dream did not come true. The paper analyses California’s most prominent groups of immigrants arriving to California during the Gold Rush and afterwards paying attention to their initial expectations and reasons for coming and contrasts them with conditions they encountered
Pátrání po "kritické sociální práci" v České republice
Get PDF\u27Critical social work\u27 is not theoretically embedded in the Czech context enough and is not explored its practical implementation. The text represents an initial phase of an extensive research that aims to identify specific forms of \u27critical social work\u27 in the Czech Republic.This is the explanatory case study of the functioning of the \u27critical social work\u27 in the Czech Republic today, but that has been made through the study of more cases. The text presents a snapshot of the first phase of the research, which involves identifying potential organizations or events through analysis of documents technique on the Internet by pre-declared criteria of \u27critical social work\u27. So far the research only presents the activity of selected organizations that formally fulfilled the established criteria of choice, but has not yet verified its validity through interviews.The main aim of the text is to define \u27critical social work\u27 and put examples of organizations or events in the Czech Republic of their activities to show signs of \u27critical social work\u27 and briefly describe their activities.The text has been defined "critical social work \u27, criteria have been set out by which it is possible to identify the organizations and events that bear the marks of \u27critical social work\u27 and two examples of organizations were given (Konexe, Ježek a čížek) and one example of such an event (BED IN). I have also tried to assign these examples to a specific perspective of \u27critical social work\u27.The analysis documents shows that what is known as \u27critical social work\u27 abroad, takes place rather under the heading of \u27social activism\u27 in the Czech Republic

DETERMINING ROAD NETWORK ROBUSTNESS AND PROPOSALS FOR ITS IMPROVEMENT
No full textV příspěvku je aplikována metoda pro stanovení robustnosti sítě na dvě části silniční sítě Zlínského kraje. Dále je ukázáno, jak lze tuto metodu použít při návrhu nových spojení, které mají za cíl maximálně zvýšit jejich robustnost. Výsledkem výpočtů je návrh několika alternativ, jež mohou být k dispozici expertovi pro konečný výběr vhodného spojení.A method for measuring network robustness is applied to two parts of the Zlín region road network. We demonstrate how this method can be used to design new road links whose objective is a maximum increase in the entire network robustness. The computation results are several alternatives which should help experts make a final decision when choosing the most suitable link
