Vaclav Klaus and "nature"
No full textThesis is based on the views of authors of sociology of knowledge (Berger, Luckman, Bourdieu) and authors of discourse analysis (Foucault, Fairclough). The central assumption is that knowledge is socially constructed and that this construction has its strong ideological and hierarchic aspects. Author is analyzing books and texts of Vaclav Klaus using the critical discourse analysis. Author is convinced that Vaclav Klaus has a substantive influence on public opinion in Czech Republic. Also author is convinced the struggle in the discussion over environmental topics is based in different basic assupmtions of discussion participant. Thus author decided to analyse the Vaclav Klaus's basic assumptions for the notions of nature and environment
Vaclav Havel : le premier président postmoderne?
Get PDFDans cet article, l’auteur tente de cerner la pensée philosophico-politique du dramaturge tchèque et ex-dissident Vaclav Havel. À la lumière de sa critique à l’égard de la modernité et de l’européocentrisme, l’auteur s’interroge sur la portée de la réflexion de celui qui fut porté à la présidence de son pays suite à la révolution de velours, et se demande si elle peut s’inscrire dans le sillon postmoderniste.In this article, the author tries to define the philosophical and political thought of the Czech dramatist and the ex-dissident Vaclav Havel. In the light of his critical position against modernity and europeocentrism, the author is questioning himself about the Havel's thought's impact, and wondering if this one can be connected with the postmodern thought
Library of Vaclav Cerny

Georgian translations of Vaclav Havel's texts
No full textThe translation is of special significance for the history of culture, since it implies not only overcoming of lingual borders, but it serves as the breakthrough in cultural, historic and social dams and the intellectual „conquest” of new geographical area. The principle of “intercultural” translation is based on a transfer of cultural tradition. Back in the old world, it was called “translatio”. European culture developed three major modifications of “translatio”: translation - 1) translatio religionis, that is translation of true religion; 2) translatio imperii - that is translation of ideal state management and 3) translatio studii – translation of science and true wisdom. Thus, the idea of translation is interpreted as a transfer of spiritual inheritance, translation of definite spiritual values.
In the history of the world, there are persons, whose life and activity stimulate others, whose strength and unwavering position inspires, and their ideas strengthen and fill others with the hope for the future. Vaclav Havel, Czech drama playwright, essayist, and a poet belongs to namely such group of people, who passed his life road from dissidence to the post of a president and whose ideas are especially urgent for present day society.
The author of the present report has been publishing translations of Vaclav Havel’s works of various genres – essays, plays, interviews from the Czech language from the 90s of the 20th century. In the present report, the author offers her observations on the specificity of her translation on Vaclav Havel’s texts. She makes emphasis on the peculiarities of Havel’s language, which in his works often bears a function of expression of a pressure of totalitarian regime on a man
Vaclav Nelhybel: An Introduction to His Works for Trombone Solo and Trombone Ensemble
Get PDFabstract: Vaclav Nelhybel (1919-1996) composed over 600 works, a significant number of which were never published. The trombone is included in more than 200 of Nelhybel’s compositions, some featuring the instrument in a solo role and also as a key contributor in many of his chamber and large ensemble works. The goal of this project is to bring this significant body of trombone literature into the light by examining his seventeen compositions that feature the trombone in solos and trombone ensembles; this paper also includes a select listing of other works by Nelhybel that include the trombone. The seventeen highlighted pieces include nine works for solo trombone and eight for trombone ensemble. This paper also contains background information on the composer and a brief discussion of his overall compositional history, focusing on the last thirty years of his life when he was most active as a composer and became one of the most prominent figures in the wind band movement in the United States. The central portion of the paper describes each of Nelhybel’s compositions that feature the trombone and is divided into three sections: the trombone as solo instrument in published works, an unpublished Concerto for bass trombone, and chamber works for two or more trombones alone. Discussions of key pedagogical aspects, recurring features and techniques, each piece’s difficulty level, and suggestions for performance are included for added depth.Dissertation/ThesisDoctoral Dissertation Music 201
Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy Processing and Modelling for Lithium-ion Batteries Using Python and Jupiter
No full textThis paper describes how to model a Lithium-ion battery's internal characteristics based on electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) data and their fitting into an Equivalent Circuit Model (ECM) using Python and the Jupyter development environment. The described method is used on an extensive dataset collected during an ageing campaign of lithium-ion batteries. The work aims to determine the correct values of ECM elements with satisfactory accuracy. The battery's ECM parameter interpretation provides essential information about its internal structure and mechanisms, which helps to understand its processes and estimate its future degradation. It was necessary to deal with two tasks: first, the processing of many measurements, and second, estimating the appropriate input parameters for the ECM. We have managed to practically automate the processing of more than one thousand files with measured data and design and gradually refine a method for estimating input parameters for ECM fitting.</p
Architect Václav Rejchl (1884-1964)
Get PDFVaclav Rejchl (1884-1964) Ladislav Zikmund Keywords: architecture - 20th century - Hradec Kralove - Vaclav Rejchl - care of historical monuments Resumé: The thesis will deal in monographic form with life and work of architect Vaclav Rejchl. Vaclav Rejchl is for his whole life connected with Hradec Kralove. He stood at the beginning of its modern development and Rejchl is an author of regulation plan from 1909, which was basic for his followers, Oldřich Liska or Josef Gočár and valid till nowadays. In my thesis I will focus on selected Rejchl's realizations in context of his life. I would like to deal with already mentioned regulation plan, house of Jan Hus convent, Students home, Regional court, Main railway station, area of Airport in Vekose and one chapter I would like to devote to his family houses. In final part I will deal with Vaclav Rejchl's activity in monument conservation work in times, when in political circumstances he was not allowed to interfere architecture actively
Evolution of Lithium-Ion Battery Model Parameters for CubeSats Missions
No full textThe popularity of CubeSats has grown in the last few years. CubeSats are small-sized, low-weight satellites commonly used in low Earth orbit for remote sensing or communications. Their most considerable benefits are their high flexibility, quick lead time, and significantly lower price than 'classical' satellites, due to their vast use of commercial off-The-shelf components. Lithium-ion batteries are being used as energy storage within these components. Batteries are necessary for the spacecraft; they supply energy when there is not enough generation from solar panels, especially during eclipses. The batteries undertake a series of operations during missions in various conditions that influence their lifetime and performance. The performance of these batteries can be modelled via an electrical-circuit model. Thus, a set of characterization and degradation tests considering cycling aging were performed to identify the cell behaviour throughout an expected battery life in a CubeSat. The aging trends of the battery model parameters based on the provided parametrization procedure were observed and evaluated. Moreover, the developed model reaches high accuracy for a mission profile with the root-mean-square-error below 9 mV.</p
