The Jesuits in ’Historie církevní‘ by Pavel Skála of Zhoř and Their Possible Role in Skála’s View on History
No full text’Historie církevní’(The History of the Church) by Pavel Skála of Zhoř is probably the most extensive Czech early modern historiographical work, moreover, preserved in only one manuscript. Being written by a protestant author, ’Historie církevní’ contains rather a detailed image of the Jesuit Order hidden within its text. The Jesuits were presented by Skála through a collection of various motives connected to the Order, which also allowed him to create his own image of the Order. The article focuses on the parts of Skála’s manuscript dealing with the Jesuits and their possible role in his view on history.’Historie církevní’(The History of the Church) by Pavel Skála of Zhoř is probably the most extensive Czech early modern historiographical work, moreover, preserved in only one manuscript.

Unto This Last: John Ruskin and the Beginnings of English Ecocriticism
No full textThe following paper deals with the beginnings of ecocritical thought in John Ruskin’s essay Unto This Last (1862). The article presents the context of its economic thought and relates it to the beginnings of “ecology” in the work of German biologist Ernst Haeckel (1834-1919). The key aspect of Ruskin’s approach is a close link between a humane economy and a sense of responsibility for the environment. In his sweeping analysis of laissez-faire capitalism, he contrasts creation with production, focuses on the reductive terminology of political economy and its potentially devastating consequences if it becomes the leading ideology of the state. The final part of the paper assesses the importance of this essay for the development of ecocritical thought as well as its relevance today
OPTIONS FOR CREATING A WAREHOUSE NETWORK IN THE LAST MILE LOGISTICS
No full textModerní logistická praxe směřuje ke komplexnímu řešení problémů a plné integraci dodavatelských řetězců. Jednou z oblastí, ve které je třeba nalézt efektivní řešení je vytvoření skladové sítě. Nalezení vhodného modelu pro umisťování distribučních, respektive skladovacích center, který by kromě hlediska úspory nákladů či maximalizace zisku, zohledňoval také časové hledisko, může vést k získání konkurenční výhody. Aplikace takového modelu na podmínky současných trendů v oblasti logistiky poslední míle by pak mohla vést nejen k získání konkurenční výhody, ale také k získání většího podílu na trhu. Cílem tohoto článku je tedy prozkoumat možnosti využití stávajících metod a modelů, používaných pro vytvoření distribuční sítě, jako jsou metody statické, u kterých je možné sklady či střediska obsluhy rozmístit podle účelové funkce, a dle jejich povahy lze použít modely spojité, diskrétní či síťové. Dále jsou pak v článku zkoumány možnosti využití modelů dynamických, které jsou více zaměřeny na faktor času a mohly by tak být využity k alokaci skladů či distribučních center, mimo jiné, také v logistice poslední míle, neboť současným trendem je právě hledisko časové, kdy společnosti v současné době usilují o co největší zkrácení dodacích lhůt. Článek se věnuje možnostem využití lokačně-alokačních úloh, P-median modelu, Weberova modelu či pojetí problému umístění skladu jako nedimenzovaného problému umístění zařízení. Jako problematické se u výše zmíněných modelů ukazuje fakt, že tyto modely neberou v potaz zákazníky a přínos pro zákazníky. Je tedy třeba se zaměřit na nalezení takového modelu, který by bral v potaz určité prvky zákaznického servisu, jako je například snadná dostupnost produktů, frekvence dodávek či požadavky na čas dodání, a to nejen v případě logistiky poslední míle. Ze zkoumaných metod se jako nejlepší pro tyto účely jeví logistická metoda, popisovaná v češtině jako „Dům kvality“, jejímž účelem je zapracovat požadavky koncových zákazníků do finálního produktu společnosti, spolu s metodou známou jako „Analytický hierarchický proces“, jejímž cílem je rozklad složité nestrukturované situace na jednodušší komponenty, a „Analytický síťový proces“, což je jedna z obecnějších metod „Analytického hierarchického procesu, zaměřená na síťové rozhodovací problémy s cílem určit optimální místo pro umístění zařízení. Cílem tohoto článku je prozkoumat možnosti využití kombinace výše zmíněných modelů pro rozmístění skladů či distribučních center v logistice poslední míle.Modern logistics practice aims at comprehensive problem solving and full integration of supply chains. One of the areas in which an effective solution needs to be found is the creation of a warehouse network. Finding a suitable model for the location of distribution or storage centers, which would, in addition to cost savings or profit maximization, also take into account the time aspect, can lead to gaining a competitive advantage. Applying such a model to the conditions of current trends in the field of last mile logistics could then lead not only to gaining a competitive advantage, but also to gaining a larger market share. The aim of this article is to explore the possibilities of using existing methods and models used to create a distribution network, such as static methods, in which warehouses or service centers can be distributed according to purpose, and according to their nature can use continuous, discrete or network models. Furthermore, the article examines the possibilities of using dynamic models, which are more focused on the time factor and could be used to allocate warehouses or distribution centers, among other things, in last minute logistics, because the current trend is the time aspect of when companies they are currently working to reduce delivery times as much as possible. The article deals with possibilities of using location-allocation problem, P-median model, Weber\u27s model, or the concept of the problem of warehouse location as non-dimensioned problem of equipment location. The fact that these models do not take into account customers and benefits for customers proves to be problematic with the above-mentioned models. It is therefore necessary to focus on finding a model that takes into account certain elements of customer service, such as easy product availability, delivery frequency or delivery time requirements, not only in the case of last mile logistics. From above mentioned methods, based on the time factor, the best for the deployment of distribution centers appears to be a combination of logistics method Quality function deployment (QFD), which allows to incorporate customer requirements into the final product in combination with the method Analytic network process. Unstructured situations on simpler components, possibly with the Analytic hierarchy process method, focused on network decision problems in order to determine the optimal location for the warehouse or distribution center. The aim of this article is to explore the possibilities of using a combination of the above models for the deployment of warehouses or distribution centers in last mile logistics
THE CONCEPT OF BSC SYSTEM AND ITS USE IN STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT OF BUS TRANSPORT COMPANY IN SR
No full textStrategické riadenie je nevyhnutnou súčasťou riadenia podniku. Predstavuje spôsob, ako zvýšiť konkurencieschopnosť podnikov. Jednou z možností využitia nástrojov strategického riadenia v spoločnostiach autobusovej dopravy je koncept systému Balanced Scorecard (BSC). Systém BSC pozostáva zo štyroch perspektív - finančnej, zákazníckej, procesnej a perspektívy učenia sa a rastu. Tieto perspektívy využívajú rôzne ukazovatele, ktoré je potrebné pri zavádzaní systému BSC v podniku rešpektovať. Analyzovali sme, ako podniky v Slovenskej republike využívajú systém BSC v strategickom riadení a výsledky prieskumu sú súčasťou tohoto príspevku. Jeho cieľom je vysvetliť metodiku systému BSC a výhody zavedenia tohto systému v praxi podnikov autobusovej dopravy.Strategic management is an essential part of the business management. It can also be a way to increase the competitiveness of enterprises. One of the possibilities of using strategic management tools in bus transport companies is just the concept of Balanced Scorecard (BSC) system. The BSC system consists of four perspectives - financial, customer, business and learning and growth perspective, which use a lot of indicators. When the enterprise is introducing the BSC system, it should be respected those perspectives. In fact, we analysed how companies in the Slovak Republic use BSC system in their own strategic management. The results of the survey is published in this paper. The aim of this article is to explain the methodology of the BSC system and benefits of implementing this system. It also determined the possibilities of using BSC system in practice, namely in bus transport companies
