Hungry for Truth and (Hi)story: Images of Food in Alias Grace by Margaret Atwood
No full textAlias Grace is a historiographic metafiction written by Margaret Atwood in 1996 about Grace Marks, imprisoned for double murder. The style of the novel is a convincing reconstruction of the Victorian historical novel because of authentic descriptions of 19th century Canadian households and domestic life and its regular meals. The food motif is a vivid undercurrent in Alias Grace just as it is in Atwood’s other novels. Images of food intensify the realistic portrait of Canada, however, the food operates on a deeper, symbolic level: images of food, eating, and hunger are often interwoven with the power and class injustice. The analysis shows that hunger is not only physical experience and a hard fact of prisoner’s life but it can be metaphorical, manifested as hunger for truth and story. The article argues that imprisoned Grace controls her hunger to usurp responsibility for her story. It also illustrates that women are constantly associated with food and edibles and thus it points to related issues of cannibalism and power struggles. Although the motifs of food, eating and cannibalism have been discussed by numerous critics including Sarah Sceats, Heidi Darroch, and Sharon Rose Wilson, this article extends their research by exploring Atwood’s strategies of writing and storytelling using food images. The article examines Atwood’s postmodern technique of cooking up the Alias Grace from many historical texts and using genre fiction ingredients
ANALYSIS OF TRANSPORTATION CRUDE OIL PRODUCTS BY RAILWAY FREIGHT TRANSPORT
No full textPri spracovaní ropy vznikajú viaceré ropné produkty, ktoré sa ďalej spracujú priamo v rafinérii alebo prostredníctvom vybraného druhu dopravy prepravia ku odberateľom. Preprava ropných produktov sa realizuje potrubnou dopravou, cestnou, vodnou a železničnou nákladnou dopravou. Výhodou železničnej nákladnej dopravy je preprava veľkých množstiev v relatívne krátkom čase, na dlhé vzdialenosti za primerané náklady.During processing of crude oil are producing many products, which are process in refinery or products are transported some type of transport to consignee. Transportation of crude products are realized by pipeline, road, barge and railway freight transport. Advantages railway are transportation of large quantity in a short time and long distances for low costs
THE CUBOID CAPACITY METHODOLOGY – TIMETABLE CONVENIENCE VALUE COUNTING
No full textThe main goal of this article is to determine new way of capacity counting. On the previous research basis it was created the cuboid capacity methodology, which counts timetable convenience value. This value includes chosen parameters and provides the possibility of timetable comparison based on one value, only
A Long and Winding Road from Narrator to Character: A Stylistic Analysis of Tom Robbins’ novel Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates
No full textTom Robbins’ novel Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates (2000) provides a plethora of ways to obtain an insight into his characters’ minds and learn about their feelings and emotions by means of certain techniques of representing speech, thought, and perception, namely free indirect speech/thought, narrative report of thought act, and substitutionary perception/free indirect perception, to name but a few. The aim of this paper is to demarcate the boundaries between those modes of representation and through stylistic analysis to pinpoint examples of mode of representation which both reflect characters’ thoughts and perceptions, while at the same time reveal the narrator’s creativity while constructing the fictional world of the novel
FUNCTIONAL CALCULATI ON OF THE WINDING DE VICE OF A WORKING MACHINE AFTER RENOVATION
No full textČlánok sa zaoberá funkčným výpočtom netypizovaného navijaka pracovného stroja, ktorý podstúpil renováciu z dôvodu poškodenia. Toto poškodenie nastalo vplyvom preťaženia v prevádzke z dôvodu nešpecifikovaného dovoleného zaťaženia. Táto skutočnosť môže predstavovať určitý stupeň nebezpečenstva, pretože nie je možné kvantifikovať bezpečnú oblasť zaťaženia. Preto bola v predchádzajúcom kroku vykonaná tvorba výkresovej dokumentácie meraním z reálneho zariadenia, čím je možné okamžite zistiť všetky nevyhnutné vstupné parametre pre funkčný výpočet. Ten bude slúžiť ako spätná väzba pre analytický dimenzionálny výpočet za účelom stanovenia hodnoty maximálnej prípustnej hmotnosti zaveseného bremena na danom navíjacom zariadení.This article deals with a functional calculation of the untyped reel of a working machine, which was renovated because of damage. This damage was occurred due to overload due to unspecified load. This fact can represent a certain degree of danger, because it is not possible to quantify the safe load area. Therefore, in the previous step the creation of the drawing documentation was created by measurement of real device. Based on this it is possible immediately to obtain all necessary parameters for a functional calculation. It will be the basis for feedback of analytical dimensional calculation in order to determine the maximal permissible value of the load mass on the given winding device

Článok informuje o systémoch určených na monitorovanie prepravy zásielok v SR v jednotlivých dopravných odboroch.Intelligent transport systems, used for tracking of goods, open up new opportunities to achieve sustainable mobility and create the conditions for a high-quality communication and information society. The paper informs about the tracking systems used in each transport department of Slovakia
PROCESS MODEL OF COMMERCIAL HANDL ING IN AIR TRANSPORT IN RELATION TO AVIATION SECURITY
No full textCílem článku analyzovat slabá místa, ve kterých by mohlo dojít k narušení integrity systému bezpečnostních sítí ochrany civilní letecké dopravy před protiprávními činy. Pro znázornění procesu obchodního odbavení cestujících a zapsaných i kabinových zavazadel v letecké dopravě bylo vytvořeno grafické schéma systému za pomoci modelu procesů řízených událostmi – eEPC modelu.The aim of the article is to analyze weaknesses in which the integrity of the civil aviation security protection system could be impaired. To illustrate the process of commercial passenger and cabin baggage handling in air transport, a graphical scheme of the system was created using the event-driven proces chain model
Landscape as a Benchmark: Poetics of Place as a Critical Tool in W.H. Auden’s Prose
No full textW.H. Auden had a profound and clearly defined spatial awareness. As an editor of anthologies, Professor of Poetry at Oxford and author of essays, reviews, forewords and introductions, he was also prolific in the profession of a literary critic judging the work of others. This paper traces the connections between these two facets, with a special emphasis on Auden’s readiness to use other writers’ topophilic responsiveness to the physical environment and landscape as a benchmark for assessing their qualities. Focusing on Auden’s critical assessment of Wordsworth, Frost, Betjeman and Rilke on the basis of their poetics of place, the present study examines Auden’s implementation of this criterion in his critical method. 
Guardianship or Partnership? Status of Wife and Property Co-ownership of Spouses in Medieval Brno
No full textThe text focuses on position of a wife in medieval urban milieu using medieval Brno as a case example. In addition to her legal status, which is reconstructed based on the analysis of valid legal norms, we pay attention mainly to the concept of property coownership of spouses and its functioning in everyday life, about which we can learn based on written cases that were part of the common agenda of the city council, that is gathered in the socalled Memorial Books.The text focuses on position of a wife in medieval urban milieu using medieval Brno as a case example.
