The Enlightenment teacher Antonín Borový and music in the light of the Zlatá Koruna school chronicle
No full text
The turn of the 18th and 19th centuries was influenced by extensive educational reforms carried out under the rule of the Austrian Empress Maria Theresa. A ’trivial school’ founded according to the newly introduced methods was established by the abbot Bohumír Bylanský in the Cistercian monastery of Zlatá Koruna as early as in 1772. After ten years, Antonín Borový was appointed as a teacher and from then on he worked at Zlatá Koruna until his death in 1832. Borový was very active in the field of literature and music, and wrote three books of Czech short stories. As he was responsible for music in the church, he created a remarkable music collection consisting of more than 400 music manuscripts; 40 pieces were even written by Borový himself. He kept a German class register in which he began to note the political affairs of the period, climatic rarities, and local festivities. These notes also contain descriptions of significant visits, festivities, and the course of the liturgical year in Zlatá Koruna, including their musical accompaniment and the rewards, both financial and in kind, provided for the teacher’s services. Borový’s activity shows how the above-mentioned educational reforms influenced even a small remote village in South Bohemia
Centres, background, and periphery of the economic life of early modern society in the lands of the Czech Crown. On the meaning of early modern economic history
No full textThe paper evaluates the representation of early modern economic history at the 12th congress of Czech historians in Ústí nad Labem in September 2022 and responds to opinions about the current decline of the discipline of economic history and its replacement by the “new” cultural history. It emphasises the continuing importance of classical economic history and the need to enrich it with new approaches, based on complexity, a comparative approach, and interdisciplinarity. Two historiographic probes demonstrating the meaning and significance of the study of territorial economic relations in the 16th and 17th centuries are presented. The first is a microhistorical insight into the management and function of the suburban estates of the Czech nobility in the immediate vicinity of the provincial capital, Prague, at the end of the 16th century, as can be observed through the example of the small manor of Košíř, owned in the years 1585–1597 by the lords of Hradec. The second probe shows the possibilities and benefits of analysing data from contemporary tax records and lists of serfdom duties and corvées for understanding the function and status of cities and towns in the South Bohemian domain of the lords of Hradec. It describes the structure of the urban network and the hierarchy of urban settlements in the 17th century, captures the original traces of war damage, and suggests the possibility of following the trends of early modern urbanisation in the territory of the former Bechyňsko region in a long wave from the end of the Thirty Years’ War to the beginning of industrialisation and the new “industrial” urbanisation in the 19th century.The paper evaluates the representation of early modern economic history at the 12th congress of Czech historians in Ústí nad Labem in September 2022 and responds to opinions about the current decline of the discipline of economic history and its replacement by the “new” cultural history.

The testimony “old images”: ideal and real cultural landscape
No full textOld maps and images – paintings, drawings, graphics, and, in recent centuries, old photographs and postcards – capture the space around us, the proverbial “stage of history”, and have been seen as lucrative antiques for ages. However, the beauty of the old original still has magic in the digital age because the appeal of the old “representations of the landscape” remains. This is true for 15th-century murals, 17th-century copper engravings, and 19th-century lithographs. The present article, despite (unavoidably) being based on a series of micro-examinations delineated by time, territory, and relations to individuals, families, or institutions, takes on the characteristics of an aggregated work. It is dedicated to “images of the cultural landscape” as a whole, their role when they were created, their uses for the people that ordered them, and their role today (in this case primarily as a historical source).Old maps and images – paintings, drawings, graphics, and, in recent centuries, old photographs and postcards – capture the space around us, the proverbial “stage of history”, and have been seen as lucrative antiques for ages.

The position of the study and use of 17th- and 18th-century revenue sources in contemporary historiography (with special reference to the urban environment)
No full text
The study of tax sources for the 17th and 18th centuries is not sufficiently developed in Czech or foreign research. Czech historiography has focused most extensively on a trio of cadastres, which were used to address various questions relating to social and economic history. However, the way in which taxes were distributed among individual taxpayers in the second half of the 17th century and throughout the 18th century has not been studied. This study attempts to answer this situation by using the example of royal towns, where (in contrast to the environment of the landed estates) the functional system remained essentially medieval in origin. The cadastres prescribed tax only at the level of individual localities, not taxpayers. To this end, the amount prescribed was apportioned to the urban population by means of a system (šacuňky) which took account of the property situation of the individual taxpayers. This distribution was recorded in the books of subrepartitions. The payment capacity itself was then recorded (as in rural areas) in the so-called contribution books, where the tax official recorded the tax paid in addition to the payment obligation

The aim of the article is to determine whether in the presented narrative shared trauma among different species leads to improved resilience of humans and animals, as well as whether a shared experience of grieving and healing is beneficial for both sets of beings involved. An overview of the healing process in humans and animals which takes place after trauma is provided. Although based on a work of fiction, this paper seeks to be a contribution to the field of trauma studies, highlighting the benefits and therapeutic value of human-animal relations and reflecting approaches in fiction
Gender Issues in Comfort Woman by Nora Okja Keller
No full textThrough an exploration of the comfort women system, this article analyzes how the female gender has been oppressed in history. It follows the story of Akiko, the main character of Comfort Woman (1998) by Asian American author Nora Okja Keller. Keller is one of the first authors to write about comfort women, gaining publicity for this issue. This article provides an examination of terms such as sex, gender, and gender issues. Certain concepts influencing American and Asian cultures and their stance towards gender are also analyzed, after which focus is placed on the portrayal of gender roles as illustrated in the novel. The article briefly mentions the history of the relationship between the United States and Korea. The characteristics of the comfort women system are described as well as the causes leading to its establishment such as patriarchy, Confucian traditions, and the exploitability of lower-class society. Additionally, the article highlights how the comfort women issue helped define feminist theory in the US and identifies the transnational nature of the issues involved
Nutritional Screening after ENT Surgery for Non-cancer Diseases
No full textCílem průzkumného šetření bylo posouzení změn ve stravování u neonkologických pacientů, po chirurgickém zákroku v ORL oblasti, který standardně vyžaduje krátkodobou hospitalizaci. V souboru byla nejčetněji zastoupena tyreoidektomie (32 %) a tonzilektomie (24 %). Publikované studie se zabývají převážně pacienty s karcinomem v oblasti hlavy a krku. Rozhodly jsme se proto, zaměřit na nutriční screening u pacientů s neonkologickou diagnózou, kde jsou rizikovým faktorem pro vznik malnutrice pooperační bolesti a poruchy polykání. Hodnocení nutričního screeningu bylo provedeno dotazníkem Short Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire, doplněné o vybrané otázky, z plné verze Mini Nutritional Assessment. Šetření se zúčastnilo 50 respondentů. Předoperačně, při příjmu na oddělení, byla zachycena mírná podvýživa (zisk 2 bodů v testu Short Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire) u 6 % respondentů, pooperačně u 10 %. Těžká malnutrice, tedy zisk 3 bodů, nebyl zaznamenán u žádného respondenta při příjmu, ani pooperačně. Nebyl zjištěn statisticky významný rozdíl mezi hodnotami hmotnosti u pacientů předoperačně a v pooperačním období. Subjektivně považuje 60 % pacientů své stravování v pooperačním období při hospitalizaci za plně dostačující. Bolesti při polykání v pooperačním období mají signifikantní vliv na průměrnou velikost snědených porcí. Subjektivně pacienti pociťovali omezení v příjmu stravy z důvodu bolesti v 20%. Nejčetněji se změny ve výživě v pooperačním období vyskytovaly u pacientů po uvulopalatofaryngoplastice a tonzilektomii. V pooperačním období se u těchto respondentů četně objevoval úbytek hmotnosti a bolesti, které omezovaly příjem stravy.Aim: The aim of the survey was to assess changes in eating in non-cancer patients, after ENT surgery, which normally requires short-term hospitalization. Published studies focus especially on patients with head and neck cancer. Therefore, this survey focuses on nutritional screening in patients with a non-oncological diagnosis, where postoperative pain and swallowing disorders are a risk factor for malnutrition. Methods: The evaluation of nutritional screening was performed with the Short Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire, supplemented by selected questions from the full version of the Mini Nutritional Assessment. The participants were 50 patients. Thyroidectomy (32 %) and tonsillectomy (24 %) were the most frequent surgeries in the research sample. Results: Preoperatively, on admission to the ward, mild malnutrition was detected (reached of 2 points in the Short Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire test) in 6 % of respondents, postoperatively in 10 %. Severe malnutrition, reached 3 points, was not found in any of the participants on admission, nor postoperatively. The testing did not confirm a statistically significant difference in the weight values in patients preoperatively and in the postoperative period. Subjectively, 60 % of patients considerd their eating in the postoperative period of hospitalization to be completely comfortable. Swallowing pain after surgery confirmed statistically significant difference on the average size of the eating of serving of foods. A total of 20 % of patients experienced decreasing of eating for pain. Conclusion: The most frequent changes in nutrition in the postoperative period were detected in patients after uvulopalatopharyngoplasty and tonsillectomy. In the postoperative period, these participants experienced pain, which limited their food intake. The changes of weight are not a suitable method for assessing nutritional status in early postoperative care

Zavedením modernejších systémov vybavenia cestujúceho v železničnej osobnej doprave formou automatizácie a digitalizácie procesov je možné zefektívniť a skvalitniť prepravný proces.The COVID-19 pandemic has affected many aspects of our everyday lives. Governments have taken a number of measures to limit the spread of the pandemic, which has had a direct impact on daily mobility, the choice of mode of transport and the functioning of public transport. These measures were implemented in practice immediately, without conceptual systematic preparation. This paper is focused on the proposal of measures to improve the quality and efficiency of the transport process in railway passenger transport in the next period of the pandemic. In the process of equipping the passenger with a travel document during the pandemic, new technical and technological elements are implemented in railway stations and trains to reduce the risk of virus transmission with the aim of protecting the health of the passenger and the carrier\u27s employees. By introducing more modern passenger equipment systems in railway passenger transport in the form of automation and digitization of processes, it is possible to streamline and improve the transport process quality.Pandémia COVID-19 ovplyvnila mnohé aspekty nášho každodenného života.
