    This article explores the various aims of literary historiography. Although this is an issue of crucial importance to dealing with literary history, it has not yet received the attention it deserves. Scholars have rarely devoted more than incidental thought to this matter. Furthermore, there is disagreement as to what may count as a legitimate and worthwhile aim of literary historiography. In this article, we try to provide a comprehensive overview and systematic account of these aims. Neutrally put and in accordance with the colloquial use of the word, we consider an ›aim‹ to be what one is intending or trying to achieve by doing something. One could speak of the ›task‹, the ›purpose‹, or the ›function‹ of literary historiography as well – the respective differences in meaning are of no importance here. It is our main contention that one can reasonably distinguish between two broadly construed ›conceptions‹ of literary historiography, each of them comprising at least four aims. We take a ›conception‹ to be a set of general theoretical assumptions and methodological rules pertaining to a group of approaches to literary historiography. Thus understood, a conception also includes a set of global strategies that forms the general framework for particular aims. By drawing on relevant research literature since the 1970s, predominantly in German, we hope to provide evidence for our claim that the aims we have identified capture the prevalent scholarly practice adequately. It can be shown that these aims are in accordance with what scholars explicitly or implicitly take to be the intention of their research

    Influence of dynamic adsorption layer on single foam film drainage kinetics

    Attached data shown influence of state of dynamic adsorption layer (DAL) at rising bubble surface on its motion and dynamics of bouncing upon collision with liquid/gas interface (free solution surface). The data show crucial influence of the DAL architecture for kinetics of drainage of a single foam film formed during a bubble collision for liquid film stability in a quantitative way (for the first time in the literature). This data reflect all the figures shown in the article entitled &#34;Coalescence of surface bubbles: The crucial role of motion-induced dynamic adsorption layer&#34; by Jan Zawala, Jonas Miguet, Preetika Rastogi, Omer Atasi, Mariusz Borkowski, Benoit Scheid and Gerald G. Fuller, published in Advances in Colloids and Interface Science (doi: 10.1016/j.cis.2023.102916).</p

    This creative project is a treatise on a leading personality of Czechoslovakian musical life, the composer, Jan Kapr. The author discusses the following:1. The complicated development of Kapr's career and work, 2. Kapr's method of organization of musical material in a composition, as described in his book Constants,3. His former and current style which is demonstrated in two of his compositions, Concert Variations, for flute and string orchestra and Testimonies for four solo instruments,4. Two of his recent works, Exercises for Gydli and the Symphony No. 7, Country of Childhood.Thesis (M.A.

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    ELEVEN FACES OF JAN GOGOL, JR.

    Author Jan Rendl in his thesis attempts to look at the world of ideas and educator Jan Gogola ml. through the eleven chapters in which each chapter somehow characterizes itself by Jan Gogola ml. and each of them somehow determines its creative ideas of it through the metaphor of a football match when Jan Gogola, with its characters, movies himself a teammate, as well as defensively. It gives goals with their situations as well as occasionally digging his opponents ankles. Jan Gogola ml. thus embodies one stage of the Department of Documentary Film at FAMU, which often stands at the intersection between teaching activities and Karel Vachek among students who applied by them during their seminars psychological methods that work must be peculiarly associated with the author of the film
