Caste or qualification? Chaitanya Vaishnava Discussions about Brahmanas in Colonial India
Despite the general conviction about functioning of caste system in India we are far from understanding even its basic units, called varna and jati. If many scholars are not able to provide convincing solutions to problems with definition of caste and subcaste in India, it is necessary to anlayse the whole framework of thinking within which our modern discussions about caste developed. The general hypothesis of this article can be summarized in the following way: Discussions about caste system in India are constrained by Christian theological legacy within earlier Orientalist research. Nature of several problems we encounter in caste studies is discussed in the first part, before author develops critique of the dominant interpretation for rise of bhakti movements in Indian history. Although they are often described as protest against “caste system” in general and “brahmanical orthodoxy” in particular, relevant historical evidence shows very different picture. Chaitanya Vaishnava movement, very influential bhakti tradition during the British Raj, is a chosen example for analyses. Its resources provide us with domestic ideas and practices that are challenging dominant interpretations of both caste system and the rise and nature of bhakti movements themselves.Despite the general conviction about functioning of caste system in India we are far from understanding even its basic units, called varna and jati.

IDENTIFICATION OF MOST IMPORTANT QUALITY CRITERIA IN INTEGRATED TRANSPORT SYSTEMS IN CZECH REPUBLIC WITH USING OF PARETO ANALYSIS
Kvalita služieb je v súčasnosti stále častejšie skloňovaný pojem. Väčšinou je chápaná v súvislosti s tým, čo zákazník (cestujúci) očakáva a vyžaduje. Príspevok sa zaoberá identifikáciou najdôležitejších kritérií kvality, ktoré sú zakotvené v podmienkach poskytovania služieb v jednotlivých integrovaných systémoch v krajoch Českej republiky. Tieto kritériá sú stanovené na základe normy EN 13816. Na ich identifikáciu je použitá Paretova analýza.In the present, the term “service quality” is increasingly used. It is most often associated with requirements and expectation of customers (passengers). The article deals the identification of the most important quality criteria that are applied in terms of provided services in integrated transport systems in Czech Republic. These criteria are based on the standard EN 13816. Pareto analysis is used for identification the quality criteria

People of the Past and Present. Magazine Stolitsa i usaďba, the Russian Nobility and Its Self-Presentation in the Final Years of the Tsarist Regime
As a ruling class for centuries, the nobility created a complex system of symbols and rituals which jointly formed the (political) culture in Russia. Especially during the second half of the 19th century, the position of the nobility was gradually but substantially being changed. Russian society evolved towards a civic society, mainly as a consequence of the Great Reforms of the 1860s. The nobility, traditionally the most prominent social estate (soslovie), was confronted with the emancipation of the serfs, the emergence of the middle-class and its rising influence. Therefore the dominant public role of the nobility was challenged. The article is focused on the public role of the Russian nobility in the final years of the tsarist regime. The author analyzes several ways of the nobility self-presentation towards the public and tries to answer the question how far the “portrait of the nobility” was real or imagined. The analysis is based on various primary sources, foremost on the magazine Stolitsa i usaďba (City and Country Estate). The magazine, designed as a magazine of “beau monde”, was published between 1913 and 1917. It tried to present the crucial role of the nobility in Russia’s past and show its importance in the political, social and cultural life. Nonetheless such a presentation was full of contradictions. The publishers declared that the magazine was “non-political” and “non-class specific” but with the emphasis on the nobility and its distinctive role in the past and present it could hardly compete with the values of the lower classes. Even if the nobility had been able to cooperate with the industrialists and educated classes and create a new civic elite, for the peasants, it would have remained the old enemy. The lower classes refused to accept the elite as a whole, and the cultural scenario presented by Stolitsa i usaďba had no future in revolutionary Russia.As a ruling class for centuries, the nobility created a complex system of symbols and rituals which jointly formed the (political) culture in Russia.

DEREGULATION AND LIBERALIZATION OF AIR TRANSPORT
Komerčně se letecká doprava začala více prosazovat už ve 20. letech. Od té doby se markantně změnilo celé tržní prostředí. Dnes je letecká doprava provozována v určitém rámci mezinárodních dohod, které jsou implementovány do národních zákonů a předpisů, kde však samy letecké společnosti rozhodují o tom, které služby budou nabízet, jaké klientele a za jakou cenu. Silné konkurenční prostředí se pozitivně promítlo v nabídce služeb pro cestující a také v poklesu cen. Letečtí dopravci se trendům museli přizpůsobit a z toho vyvstal koncept nízkonákladových leteckých dopravců. Naopak tradiční společnosti se stále více integrují v globálních aliancích a zvětšují tím pole působnosti.Commercial air transport began to assert itself more effectively in the 20s. Since this time has the entire market environment changed. Nowadays air service is operated in a framework of international agreements, which are implemented into national laws and regulations, where airlines decide about services to offer, to which clients and at prices. Strong competitive environment is positively reflected in the offer of services for passengers and price decline. Airlines had to adapt to trends and from this arose the concept of low-cost airlines. Conversely, traditional companies are becoming increasingly integrated in global alliances and increase the sphere of activity
ANALYSIS OF ENGINE OILS USING MODERN METHODS OF TRIBOTECHNICAL DIAGNOSTICS
The tribotechnical diagnostics (TTD) use lubricants as media that help obtain information about processes and changes in the systems that they lubricate. The methods TTD are used to determine optimum regular interval for oil exchange. The paper deals with possibilities of using modern instrumental methods in particular: infrared spectrometry with Fourier transformation (FTIR spectrometry), atomic emission spectrometry (AES) and analysis on particle counters for optimalization of change interval of engine oil
