Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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

Politics of Memory
No full textThe doctoral thesis is made up of four studies (two of them have been co-written together with the thesis advisor) whose common denominator is man relationship to history viewed especially from the perspectives used in memory studies. The author pays attention especially to modes of theoretical approaches and research application of the concepts of ˮculture memory", ˮcultures of remembrance", ˮpolitics of memory" and no least to relationship between memory and historiography. The first study (TUČEK, Jan. Paměť. In: STORCHOVÁ, Lucie a kol. Koncepty a dějiny. Proměny pojmů v současné historické vědě. Praha: Scriptorium, 2014. p. 244-257) deals with formation of interdisciplinary area related to memory studies and analysis of the most influential concepts of collective and culture memory. In his second study, (HORSKÝ, Jan, TUČEK, Jan. Historik mezi antinomiemi metodologického myšlení. Unpublished manuscript) Jan Tuček focuses on identifying and evaluating of the basic elements related to traditional formulated polarity concepts of the categories that are "memory" and "history" (in terms of historiographical production) facing the approaches seen by both categories as complementary social practices of a connection to the past. In his third study (HORSKÝ, Jan, TUČEK, Jan. Paměť jako objekt teoretické..
Modular and p-adic codes
No full textNázev práce: Modulární a p-adické kódy Autor: Bc. Miloslav Sobotka Katedra: Katedra algebry Vedoucí diplomové práce: RNDr. Jan Šťovíček, Ph.D., Katedra algebry, MFF UK Abstrakt: Cílem práce bylo studium modulárních kódů nad okruhy Zpe a kódů p-adických. Motivací byla představa posloupnosti kódů nad do sebe vnořenými okruhy Zpe , kdy kódy nad menšími okruhy mají tu vlastnost, že je lze získat z kódu nad vyšším okruhem operací modulo. Naopak při budování této posloup- nosti volíme zdvihy tak, aby tato podmínka zůstala zachována. Tento koncept vede k celé řadě otázek týkajících se kvality zdvižených, či řekněme snížených kó- dů, od zachování parametrů kódů, přes samodualitu a cykličnost až po studium chování váhového výčtu.

Miloslav Sobotka Department: Department of Algebra Supervisor: RNDr. Jan Šťovíček, Ph.D., Department of Algebra, MFF UK Abstract: The aim of this thesis was to study modular codes over rings Zpe and p-adic codes. The motivation was the idea of a sequence of codes over nested rings Zpe , where the codes over smaller rings are obtained from the codes over larger rings using the modulo operation. Conversely, when constructing such a sequence we choose..
Replication Data for: "Imperial Rule, the Imposition of Bureaucratic Institutions, and Their Long-Term Legacies"
No full textSignificant variation in the institutions and efficiency of public bureaucracies across countries and regions are observed. These differences could be partially responsible for divergence in the effectiveness of policy implementation, corruption levels, and economic development. Do imperial legacies contribute to the observed variation in the organization of public administrations? Historical foreign rule and colonization have been shown to have lasting effects on legal systems, political institutions, and trade in former controlled territories. Imperial legacies could also explain variations in the performance of public administrations. The author uses the case of Poland to investigate the long-term effect of foreign rule on bureaucratic systems. Historically, Poland was split between three imperial powers with very different public administrations: Prussia, Austria, and Russia. Statistical analyses of original data collected through a survey of more than 650 Polish public administrations suggest that some present-day differences in the organization and efficiency of bureaucracies are due to imperial legacies

Does strict employment protection discourage job creation? Evidence from Croatia
No full textEmployment protection legislation in Croatia is among the most strict in Europe. Firing is difficult and costly, and flexible forms of employment are limited. Is this apparent rigidity reflected-as one would expect based on standard economic theory-in low labor market dynamics? Is job creation low and hiring limited? Is the job security of insiders achieved at the cost of outsiders not being able to enter thelabor market? The author attempts to answer these questions by examining job flows. If the employment protection legislation is binding, then job and worker turnover should be low. He shows that this is indeed the case. Hiring is limited and the average job tenure is very long in Croatia. Job destruction is low, however job creation is still lower. The result is accumulation of unemployment, in large part due to new labor market entrants not being able to find a job. The high degree of job protection also seems to strengthen the bargaining position of insiders and results in relatively high wages. So, wages in Croatia are higher than among its competitors, even after adjusting for productivity. These high labor costs are likely to contribute to limited job creation in existing firms, but also are likely to discourage the entry of-and thus job creation in-new firms. The author presents evidence that firm growth has been indeed limited in Croatia, contributing to the low employment level. The author examines other potential causes of high unemployment in Croatia (the unemployment benefit system, labor taxation, the wage structure, and skill and spatial mismatches). He argues that they do not play a substantial part in accounting for poor labor market outcomes in Croatia. The author concludes that the stringent employment protection legislation is the key labor market institution behind low job creation and high unemployment. Based on this he recommends specific measures aimed at liberalizing the labor market to foster job creation and employment.Labor Management and Relations,Labor Policies,Labor Markets,Environmental Economics&Policies,Trade Finance and Investment,Labor Markets,Labor Management and Relations,Labor Standards,Banks&Banking Reform,Environmental Economics&Policies

Neither author, not only function-author : but also idealizer-subject
No full textO trabalho apresenta o desenvolvimento de uma noção proposta em nossa Dissertação, mas não desenvolvida até o momento. Trata-se de função-idealizador. A partir de reflexões sobre sujeito, função-autor e função-leitor, dentro do Projeto ‘História das Ideias’, propomos algumas análises sobre constituição, formulação e circulação de sentidos e explicitamos, levando em conta a teoria e as análises, o desenvolvimento de nossas questões acerca da noção de função-autor.The paper presents the development of a notion proposed in our master’s research but not yet concluded. It is the notion of idealizer-function.
