ČASOVO-PRIESTOROVÁ ANALÝZA ŠPECIFICKEJ DOPRAVNEJ NEHODY NA DIAĽNICI
No full textThe presented article deals with the complex reconstruction and analysis of a specific traffic accident on the highway. The main goal of the analysis of the traffic accident was to determine the cause of death of the driver of the Škoda 1203. The accident occurred at night with the participation of 3 passenger cars, between which there was mutual impact contact. These mutual contacts determined the technical-logical definition of the accident scene with acceptable time intervals between individual impact contacts. The time-spatial determination of the technically acceptable interval of the course of the traffic accident made it possible to define the time available for the driver of the Škoda 1203 vehicle to perform post-accident actions. The subsequent biomechanical analysis made it possible to establish the probable mechanism of the serious injuries of the given driver.Predmetný príspevok sa zaoberá komplexnou rekonštrukciou a analýzou špecifickej dopravnej nehody na diaľnici. Hlavným cieľom analýzy dopravnej nehody bolo určenie konkrétnej príčiny úmrtia vodiča vozidla Škoda 1203. K nehode došlo v nočnej dobe za účasti 3 osobných automobilov, medzi ktorými došlo k vzájomným rázovým kontaktom. Tieto vzájomné kontakty determinovali technicko-logické vymedzenie nehodového deja s časovo prijateľnými odstupmi medzi jednotlivými rázovými kontaktmi. Časovo-priestorové vymedzenie technicky prijateľného intervalu priebehu dopravnej nehody umožnilo definovanie času dostupného pre vodiča vozidla Škoda 1203 k vykonávaniu po-nehodových úkonov. Následná biomechanická analýza umožnila ustálenie pravdepodobného mechanizmu vzniku závažných zranení daného vodiča.

Selling Austerity to the Public: Analysing the Rhetoric of the UK Government on its Welfare Cuts
No full textOver the past twelve years, the UK has seen a marked increase in poverty and economic inequality. While numerous factors have contributed to this situation, an undisputedly important role has been played by the continuous program of welfare spending cuts designed and executed by a series of Conservative governments. To alleviate the potential for the unpopularity of austerity measures, the Conservatives have attempted to put a positive spin on their policies by making a series of core claims emphasizing the beneficial effects of the welfare reform. Using the method of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), this paper examines these claims and offers a critique of each of them. In doing so, the research seeks to expose the use of traditional stereotypes (especially that of the “deserving” and “undeserving” poor) in the government’s rhetoric. The paper draws on a corpus of political speeches and media appearances of Conservative politicians, as well as on sociological reports and newspaper coverage. The analysis is principally focused on the two governments led by David Cameron, although some attention is also devoted to subsequent Conservative administrations
Two (Postmodern) Czech Shakespearean Adaptations: Claudius and Gertrude and Emodrink of Elsinore
No full textIn her book on adaptation theory, Linda Hutcheon1 argues that “[n]either the product nor the process of adaptation exists in a vacuum: they all have a context - a time and a place, a society, and a culture.” Texts travel from their locus originis to other destinations, times, and contexts, crossing geographical, language, and genre borders, and creating their own palimpsestic identity. As Hutcheon2 states, “an adaptation is a derivation that is not derivative - a work that is second without being secondary.” The objective of the article is to examine two Czech adaptations of Shakespeare’s Hamlet: Claudius and Gertrude (2007) by Jiří Stránský and Jakub Špalek, which was inspired by Saxo Grammaticus and John Updike’s novel Gertrude and Claudius (2000), and Emodrink of Elsinore (2009) by Josef Prokeš. The two plays differ significantly. Stránský and Špalek retell the story that precedes the well-known events at Elsinore and remade the remake. Prokeš, on the other hand, transfers the action to an obscure nightclub, turning Hamlet into a bartender accompanied by a faithful dog (albeit embodied by a human) and incorporating some Czech allusions. The paper focuses on the intertextual aspects of the Czech plays and their vertical rather than horizontal existence
Frustration, Boredom, and Fantasy: Augusta Webster’s “Circe”
No full textThe present article examines how Augusta Webster’s dramatic monologue “Circe” (1870), represents the problem of women’s boredom, frustration, and fantasy through the reinterpretation of the mythological Greek enchantress Circe. The analysis offers a close reading of the text supported by philosophical, historical, and cultural notions of boredom. Webster’s poem functions as an intriguing commentary on how loneliness and hatred towards domesticity are accompanied by growing sexual frustration and even misandry. My reading proposes a fresh look at Webster’s work, incorporating a number of critical, mostly feminist, analyses of the poem. Indeed, Webster’s “Circe” acts as a provocative glimpse into the psycho-scape of a bored woman who gradually reveals her incessant desires for change and a perfect lover

CURRENT PROBLEMS OF ROAD TRUCK TRANSPORT PERFORMANCE AND SAFETY
No full textPřestože hospodářský vývoj České republiky v uplynulé dekádě lze hodnotit jako vcelku pozitivní, vývoj výkonnosti tuzemských silničních nákladních dopravců vykázal v tomto období razantní pokles. Evropská silniční kamionová doprava však byla nucena řešit celou řadu problémů, které na tuzemské dopravce dopadly velmi citelně. Předložená práce si klade za cíl nalézt a určit příčiny tohoto vývoje a poukázat na některé faktory, které nepříznivý vývoj pomohly zvrátit. Although the economic development of the Czech Republic in the past decade can be assessed as entirely positive, the development of the performance of domestic road freight carriers showed a sharp decline during the same period. However, European road truck transport was forced to solve an extensive range of problems, which had a noticeable impact on domestic carriers. The presented paper aims to find and indicate the causes of this development and point out some factors that helped to reverse the unfavorable development
Cats Can Be Dangerous to Your Relationships: Cats in the Fiction of Jim Grimsley
No full textIn the context of culture’s fascination with cats, the present article analyzes the use of felines in two pieces of fiction by the southern writer Jim Grimsley: the short story “The Cathouse Lovers” (1976) and his novel Comfort & Joy (1993 in German, 1999 in English). The two texts differ greatly in terms of the genre, period, as well as the role of cats in the story, yet both of them include the motif of cats that have a negative effect on the romantic and sexual relationships of their human protagonists
