Software pro evidenci zranitelností v počítačové síti
Get PDFSoftware pro evidenci zranitelností v počítačové síti propojuje různé datové zdroje poskytující informace o zranitelnostech a s jejich využitím zjišťuje, které prvky KII jsou danou zranitelností ohroženy. Správci KII nebudou muset aktivně sledovat hlášení o zranitelnostech a ručně vyhledávat zranitelné prvky infrastruktury, ale dostanou k dispozici automaticky generovaný soupis aktivních prvků v síti s vyznačením prvků zranitelných, případně potenciálně zranitelných. Výhodou tohoto přístupu je možnost detekovat zranitelnosti systémů, které nejsou přímo ve správě bezpečnostního týmu, avšak tým má možnost monitorovat síťový provoz podřízené či vlastní organizace.Software for the evidence of vulnerabilities in a computer network interconnects various data sources providing information about vulnerabilities and with their use determines which elements of CII are threatened by a given vulnerability. CII administrators will not have to actively monitor for vulnerability reports and manually search for vulnerable elements of the infrastructure, but will be provided with an automatically-generated list of active elements in the network with the identification of vulnerable or potentially vulnerable elements. The advantage of this approach is the ability to detect vulnerabilities in systems that are not directly managed by the security team, but the team has the ability to monitor the network traffic of a subordinate or its own organization
The Czech Pirate Party : A New Alternative, Not Only for the Young
Get PDFIn 2017, in addition to the traditional, old, and more recently established political parties, a new formation – the Czech Pirate Party – espousing more participative principles, including the use of online platforms for discussions – arrived on the political scene in the Czech Republic. This newcomer to the parliamentary ecosystem, shortly after achieving success at the national level, also managed to attract significant support in local elections. For this reason, there is currently a Pirate Party parliamentary group present in the Chamber of Deputies (the lower chamber of the Czech parliament), while simultaneously the mayor of Prague and members of the ruling coalition in Brno – the second biggest city in the Czech Republic – also represent the Pirate Party. Furthermore, recent opinion polls show support for the Pirates running at about 14%. This is coupled with another new feature: the young age of the party’s elected parliamentarians and local councilors, which brings new challenges to politics. After the elections, a number of commentators immediately dubbed the Pirate Party a ‘youth party.’ But is this really the case? What forms of participation do the party and/or its members use and encourage? This article offers answers to these questions. In particular, it presents the electoral base of this new political party through interpretative analysis. The data are based on election results triangulated with other sources – specifically, a Czech election study is juxtaposed against a quantitative survey carried out by three academic institutions in the Czech Republic (the Faculty of Social Studies at Masaryk University, Brno; Palacký University, Olomouc; and the Institute of Sociology at the Czech Academy of Sciences, Prague). These statistical tools enable us to identify in great detail the demographic and socio-economic characteristics of Pirate Party voters (for instance: age, education, their views about contemporary democracy, and the timing of their decision to vote) and map their attitudes towards other parties and their leaders. The article reveals how popular the Czech Pirate Party is among the younger generation of voters, where the latter come from, and what political preferences they had previously
Political dimension of Arctic research
Get PDFThe article contributes to a better understanding of the role of research in the policies of the states that are scientifically engaged in the High North. The research covers 17 European states: six are Arctic and 11 non-Arctic, which were selected according to the following (at least one) formulated criteria: having an established tradition of carrying out scientific research in the Arctic region; having issued Arctic policy documents and/or Arctic research strategies; participation in the activities of the Arctic Council; and having gained membership of the International Arctic Science Committee (IASC). In the analysis we have applied a mixed research method, since it incorporates elements of both qualitative and quantitative approaches and offers a more comprehensive review of the scrutinised texts. The qualitative analysis relies on a discourse analysis (predicate analysis). The quantitative part of the analysis utilizes the instruments of a software research tool – The AntConc. In the end, the outcomes of both methods are merged and compared. The study reveals that conducting scientific research is not a top priority for all Arctic states. However, it has the highest similarity in terms of applied approaches among Arctic states as compared to other fields (e.g. the economy, security or pollution). At the same time, the environment and climate change are perceived to be the most important drivers behind Arctic research as defined in the Arctic states' strategies. Moreover, there are major differences among both Arctic and non-Arctic states in terms of the level of accuracy in the presentation of their research activities, particularly with regard to the implementation of scientific programmes and research aims. Finally, the research indicates that all states highlight that international scientific cooperation stimulates cooperation also in other areas and that research provides information that supports decision making and policy creation
Value Modernisation in Central and Eastern European Countries : How Does Inglehart's Theory Work?
Get PDFAn intergenerational shift from more pro-family norms to individu-al-choice norms has been taking place since the 1980s. Conditions of economic and social security positively contributed to this shift especially in high-in-come countries. In this paper, we study the modernisation change on value structures in selected Central and Eastern European countries and compare them with Western European ones and look at the generational differences. We first check whether the value shift is moving in the assumed direction and whether it is copying trends observed in Western European countries. We then look at different generations to determine whether the younger genera-tions in CEE countries that grew up after 1989, in a time of rapid economic and political change, show higher levels of post-materialist and post-modern val-ues than the generations socialised and raised during the communist regime. We use data collected by the international repeated cross-sectional European Values Study (EVS). The results are not clear-cut on whether socioeconomic modernisation has led to higher shares of post-materialism, more gender-egalitarian attitudes, and stronger support for individual-choice norms in CEE countries. In all the spheres of cultural modernisation analysed we found differences in values and attitudes between generations: the older generations were always more traditional than the younger generations. This was not just true in the CEE countries, as the same trend was recorded in the Western European countries.An intergenerational shift from more pro-family norms to individu-al-choice norms has been taking place since the 1980s.

Dva brněnské románské emporové kostely a jejich vztah k další brněnské zděné architektuře. Co prozrazuje krinoidový vápenec?
Get PDFPředmětem mého referátu jsou dva brněnské románské emporové kostely, zčásti dosud stojící. Jedná se o kostely klášterní, které představují ve vývoji brněnské architektury určitý lokální zlom a mají tak vliv na dataci jiných sakrálních staveb. První je kostel sv. Jiljí v Komárově, jehož dějiny jsou spjaty s proboštstvím benediktinského kláštera v Třebíči. Locum in luco prope castrum Brnen sancti Benedicti, na počátku 12. století patrně neosídlené inundační území pokryté lužním lesem, dostal třebíčský klášter při založení. Dnes stojící románské fázi kostela předcházela drobná sakrální stavba, z níž se dochovala na hlínu pojená kamenná podezdívka. Románský kostel měl ještě západní přístavbu, rovněž ještě románskou a propojenou s interiérem kostela. V horních partiích této přístavby byl detekován Crinoidea-limestone. A to je důležitý chronologický ukazatel. Druhý z emporových kostelů je totiž kostel sv. Kunhuty premonstrátského kláštera v Zábrdovicích, jenž byl s nejvyšší pravděpodobností vysvěcen 14. března 1211. U něj bylo již Crinoidea-limestone užito i na hrubé zdění. V první dekádě 13. století bylo tedy již ložisko tohoto unikátního kamene, nacházeného jen na blízké Stránské skále, těženo. Poznatky z těchto dvou kostelů ukazují ale především na vyšší stáří nejstarší fáze brněnského kostela sv. Petra, jež musela být postavena v průběhu 12. století, protože se na ní Crinoidea-limestone neuplatnil. U pozdějších brněnských kostelů a zděných staveb se již tento kámen využíval standardně.Předmětem mého referátu jsou dva brněnské románské emporové kostely, zčásti dosud stojící.

These are monasterial churches which represent a local turn in development of the architecture in Brno; they also affect dating of other sacral buildings. The first one is the Church of St Giles in Komarov whose history is tied to the Provostry of the Benedictine Monastery in Třebič. Locum in luco prope castrum Brenense sancti Benedicti, presumably an uninhabited area from the early 1100’s covered with a riparian forest, was donated to the Třebič Monastery at its founding. Today’s Romanesque stage of the church was preceded by a tiny sacral structure, of which a soil‑connected stone underpinning survived to these days. The Romanesque church had a western annexe, also of a Romanesque style and connected to the church interior. Crinoidea‑limestone was detected in the upper portion of the annexe. And this is an important chronological indicator, since the second matronea church is the Church of St. Cunigunde in the Premonstratensian Monastery in Zabrdovice that was most probably consecrated on March 14, 1211. In this church, Crinoidea‑limestone was also used to build its structural walls. Therefore, the only deposit of this unique stone found at the nearby Stranska skala location was already mined in the 1200’s. However, the findings from these two churches primarily indicate a higher age of the oldest phase of the St. Peter’s church in Brno, which must have been built during the 12th century, since the Crinoidea‑limestone was not used to build it. Then, the stone was commonly used to build newer churches and stone buildings in Brno

Trial watch : the gut microbiota as a tool to boost the clinical efficacy of anticancer immunotherapy
Get PDFAccumulating evidence demonstrates the decisive role of the gut microbiota in determining the effectiveness of anticancer therapeutics such as immunogenic chemotherapy or immune checkpoint blockade in preclinical tumor models, as well as in cancer patients. In synthesis, it appears that a normal intestinal microbiota supports therapeutic anticancer responses, while a dysbiotic microbiota that lacks immunostimulatory bacteria or contains overabundant immunosuppressive species causes treatment failure. These findings have led to the design of clinical trials that evaluate the capacity of modulation of the gut microbiota to synergize with treatment and hence limit tumor progression. Along the lines of this Trial Watch, we discuss the rationale for harnessing the gut microbiome in support of cancer therapy and the progress of recent clinical trials testing this new therapeutic paradigm in cancer patients
Framing populism in France through the 2017 presidential election speeches by the leading candidates
Get PDFPopulism has become a defining feature of European and world politics. During the last decade, major drastic changes in the political landscape have occurred, with France appearing as a singular example: none of the two candidates who made it to the second round of the presidential elections were from the traditionally dominant center-left and center-right parties. This paper analyzes the presence of populism in the political narratives by the main political contenders in the French presidential elections held in 2017. It does so through a discourse analysis of some of their most widely seen political speeches around the campaign, providing an overview of the different framing techniques used by each candidate and their degree and type of populism
‘Stand back and watch us’ : Post-capitalist practices in the maker movement
Get PDFThis paper examines the economic practices of maker spaces – open workshops that have increased in number over recent years and that aim to provide access to tools, materials and skills for small-scale manufacturing and repair. Scholarly interest in such spaces has been increasing across the social sciences more broadly, parallel to a growing interest in craft and making in economic geography. However, to rectify the ‘capitalocentrism’ of much existing work, the paper examines the case of a workshop in Edinburgh, Scotland, through the dual theoretical lens of diverse economies and social practice theory. This conceptual approach sees the space as a novel form of economic ‘being-in-common’, providing diverse and contradictory opportunities for post-capitalist practice. The paper draws conclusions regarding the limits and potential of such spaces for sowing the prefigurative seeds for a more inclusive, sustainable and democratic urbanism
