CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE COMPANY PROVIDING EXPRESS COURIER SERVICES : INTERPRETATIVE CASE STUDY
No full textProblematika společenské odpovědnosti organizací (dále jen CSR) je v současné době velmi diskutovaným tématem. Implementace CSR do obchodní strategie může přispět ke zvýšení konkurenceschopnosti, která je nezbytná v dnešním globalizovaném a moderním turbulentním tržním prostředí. Aplikace CSR v podnikání znamená, že organizace bere v úvahu také environmentální a sociální aspekty a dopady svých aktivit, produktů a služeb. CSR má vliv na to, jak zákazníci vnímají společnosti. Tento koncept je důležitý nejen pro zákazníky, ale také pro další zúčastněné strany, jako jsou: investoři, zaměstnanci, veřejnost, média, stát a další. Global Reporting Initiative (dále jen GRI) je nezávislá mezinárodní organizace, která je průkopníkem v oblasti reportování udržitelnosti. Standardy GRI jsou první globální standardy pro podávání zpráv o udržitelnosti. Mají modulární vzájemně propojenou strukturu a představují globální osvědčené postupy pro podávání zpráv o řadě ekonomických, environmentálních a sociálních dopadů. Cílem tohoto příspěvku je doporučit přístup k CSR pro společnost poskytující expresní kurýrní služby v České republice. Pozornost je primárně zaměřena na ekonomické, environmentální a sociální aspekty CSR, které tato společnost považuje za důležité z hlediska jejího podnikatelského sektoru. Metody interpretativní případové studie, dotazníkového šetření a analytického síťového procesu (dále jen ANP) jsou použity k určení nejlepší strategie CSR pro společnost poskytující expresní kurýrní služby v České republice v souladu se standardy GRI.The issue of Corporate Social Responsibility (hereinafter CSR) is currently a highly discussed topic. The implementation of CSR in business strategy can contribute to increased competitiveness which is necessary in todays globalized and modern turbulent market environment. CSR application in business means that the company also takes into consideration environmental and social aspects and impacts of its activities, products and services. CSR has influence on how customers see companies. This concept is important not only for customers, but also for other stakeholders such as are the following: investors, employees, the general public, media, the state and other. The Global Reporting Initiative (hereinafter GRI) is an independent international organization that has pioneered sustainability reporting. The GRI Standards are the first global standards for sustainability reporting. They feature a modular, interrelated structure, and represent the global best practice for reporting on a range of economic, environmental and social impacts. The aim of this paper is to recommend an approach to CSR for a company providing express courier services Czech Republic. The attention is primarily focused on those economic, environmental and social aspects of CSR that are considered important by this company with regard to their business sector. The methods of interpretative case study, questionnaire survey and Analytic Network Process (hereinafter ANP) will be used to determine the best CSR strategy for the company providing express courier services in the Czech Republic in accordance with the GRI Standards
From Midwifery to Birth Assistance: Midwives’ Practice in the First Half of the 20th Century in the Czech Lands
No full textThe paper deals with midwives’ practice in the first half of the 20th century. The issue is based on the analysis of serial sources, so-called birth diaries. The research analyses ten series of birth diaries in the pre-printed form in which the midwives recorded information on the course of deliveries. The diaries are kept in Czech and Moravian archives and provide data on obstetric practice in various regions of the Czech lands. That makes it possible for us to compare the circumstances under which the midwives worked as well as their performance in different geographical, demographic, and social conditions, both in industrial and agrarian areas. The obtained data provide answers to several questions, e.g. the beginnings of assistants’ careers, their performance, the social structure of their clientele, as well as medical aspects of obstetric practice and cooperation with physicians. The research attempts to define the links between these indicators and also focuses on the financial gains of the midwives in their obstetric practice.The paper deals with midwives’ practice in the first half of the 20th century.

The Defense of Lawful Rebellion against Superior Rulers in Christopher Goodman’s Work
No full textChristopher Goodman was a famous English 16th century reformer, a colleague and a close friend of John Knox, Father of Scottish Presbyterian Church. Christopher Goodman was well-known thanks to his critical work ’How Superior Powers Ought to Be Obeyed by Their Subjects and Wherein They May Lawfully by God’s Word Be Disobeyed and Resisted’. John Knox and Christopher Goodman were the most critical authors of their age. However, Goodman’s radical way of thinking was stronger than Knox’s and that was the reason for the prohibition of his book.Christopher Goodman was a famous English 16th century reformer, a colleague and a close friend of John Knox, Father of Scottish Presbyterian Church.

Polemical Texts of Lutheran Orthodox Theologians as the Reaction to the Conversion of Johann Sigismund von Brandenburg
No full textThe study deals with the polemical texts of Lutheran Orthodox Theologians, who responded to the conversion of Johann Sigismund von Brandenburg to Calvinism (1613/1614). In the texts they criticized the Brandenburg court preacher Salomon Finck and strived to prevent the expansion of Calvinism in Brandenburg.The study deals with the polemical texts of Lutheran Orthodox Theologians, who responded to the conversion of Johann Sigismund von Brandenburg to Calvinism (1613/1614).

WINDMILL POWER TURBINE EFFECTS ON RADAR FUNCTIONS
No full textČlánek analyzuje vliv umístění větrných elektráren na funkci pozemních radarů používaných pro řízení letového provozu. Uvažují se zejména primární radary přehledové, přibližovací a sledovací v kmitočtových pásmech 1 GHz až 10 GHz. Přitom se článek věnuje řešení odhadu efektivní odrazné plochy (RCS) elektrárny s ohledem na typické tvary a rozměry větrných elektráren a odhadu zastínění sledovaného prostoru vlivem jednotlivých větrných elektráren a skupiny elektráren pro primární i sekundární radary. Protože uvedené problémy jsou obvykle velice komplikované a numerická simulace bývá extrémně náročná jak z hlediska doby výpočtů, tak z hlediska rozsahu paměti, jsou zde uvedeny zjednodušené vztahy, umožňující základní výpočty pro předběžnou analýzu.The paper analyses windmill power turbines (WT) effects on ground-based radar functions, used for air traffic control. The primary radars, especially surveillance, landing and tracking systems for frequency ranges 1 GHz up to 10 GHz, are considered. The paper is dealing with the estimations of radar cross sections (RCS) considering typical shapes and dimensions of windmill turbines and with shadowing due to an individual WT and groups of power stations for primary and secondary radars. As the given problems are usually very complicated, and numerical simulations are extremely demanding from viewpoint of time and memories, the simplified equations are given allowing the basic preliminary analyse
EMISSIONS IN LIFE CYCLE OF ELECTRIC VEHICLE
No full textThe paper deals with the life cycle of electric vehicle and future of reusing and recycling its battery. Investing in new alternative propulsion became an obligation to every automotive company because of the latest emissions limits.
