Věra Nováková in dialogue with Pavel Brázda
No full textMy bachelor's thesis concentrates to life and mainly to creation of Věra Nováková, Czech painter, illustrator and sculptress who creates from 1940s. One of my main concerns in this thesis is an analysis of her various artwork rich in symbols, frequently with religious motives. I also explore her work in dialog with her husband, Pavel Brázda. He was a Czech artist, same as Věra Nováková and her relationship partner since their studies in Academy of Art in Prague. They affected each other in their art creation and that is what I display on few concrete examples of their pictures. In other part I write about exhibitions of Věra Nováková, the exhibitions only of hers but also about those where she exhibited with Pavel Brázda but also with another artists. Key words Pavel Brázda, Věra Nováková, Figurate painting, symbols, playing with letter

Zabývám se především analýzou její rozmanité výtvarné práce plné symbolů, často s náboženskými motivy, a to také v dialogu s jejím manželem, Pavlem Brázdou. Ten byl, stejně jako Věra Nováková, českým umělcem a jejím celoživotním partnerem, s nímž se navzájem ovlivňovali ve své umělecké tvorbě, což ukazuji a popisuji na několika konkrétních příkladech jejich obrazů. Dále se zaměřuji na výstavy Věry Novákové, nejen samostatné, ale také společné právě s jejím manželem, Pavlem Brázdou, ale i dalšími umělci.

Phylogeny of Maculinea blues (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) based on morphological and ecological characters: evolution of parasitic myrmecophily
No full textFig. 3. One of the four equally most parsimonious trees (length 306, CI 0.33, RI 0.63; chosen at random: individual source trees differ only in position of terminals within Phengaris, M. teleius and M. alcon group: see Fig. 2), with character states that support individual clades. Nonhomoplastic autapomorphies are black, homoplastic apomorphies white. Numbers above branches refer to characters, numbers below branches to character states (see Appendix 1 for character descriptions).Published as part of Pech, Pavel, Fric, Zdenek, Konvicka, Martin & Zrzavy, Jan, 2004, Phylogeny of Maculinea blues (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) based on morphological and ecological characters: evolution of parasitic myrmecophily, pp. 362-375 in Cladistics 20 (4) on page 366, DOI: 10.1111/j.1096-0031.2004.00031.x, http://zenodo.org/record/808384
Eupolybothrus (Eupolybothrus) gloriastygis

List of the localities: West Stara Planina Mts.: Tsarkvishte (Tsarkveto) Cave near Breze, Vodni pech Cave near Dolni Lom. Distribution in the country: West Stara Planina Mts. Altitude: No data available. Habitats: Only in caves. Chorotype: Balkan. Remarks. This species has recently been discovered in two Bulgarian caves. Although only juvenile or immature specimens were examined, the Bulgarian individuals are quite different from the typical gloriastygis, which is known from the karst of Trebinje in southern Bosnia. Beron’s (1994) record of E. tridentinus from Vodni pech Cave may also prove to belong here.Published as part of Pavel Stoev, 2002, Eupolybothrus (Eupolybothrus) gloriastygis (Absolon, 1916), pp. 16 in A catalogue and key to the centipedes (Chilopoda) of Bulgaria, Sofia :Pensoft on page 1
Indigenous Lands in a Developing Region: A Historical Ethnogeography of the Pech Indians of Eastern Honduras, With Emphasis on Recent Settlement and Land Use Changes.
No full textSince before Spanish Contact, the Pech Indians have occupied a large portion of northeastern Honduras. Like other native American populations, they have suffered significant territorial reductions and cultural alterations at the hands of European colonists and modern ladino immigrants. Utilizing the methodologies of cultural geography, ethnohistory, and ethnogeography, the Pech, formerly known as the Paya, are scrutinized to illustrate the process by which indigenous peoples are reduced and incorporated into a developing national setting. Part One examines the scholarly record on the ethnohistory of the Pech and their neighbors to delimit their habitats and to document Pech incorporation into the Spanish colonial realm. Part Two describes their post-Independence settlement and land use patterns, and explains the most recent changes. The pivotal role of Padre Manuel Subirana in establishing the original Pech land grants is highlighted, and early Honduran censuses and travelers\u27 accounts by Karl Sapper and Eduard Conzemius are employed to reconstruct settlement locations. From fieldwork in 1991-2, the author identified the Pech\u27 current three-fold use and characterization of the local habitat: montana, serrania, and vega. The eastward expansion of Honduran (ladino) population and the accompanying economic activities that forged into the Pech lands of eastern Olancho during the last three decades is proposed as the mechanism that recently altered the settlement and land tenure of the Pech. National and local migration studies, mapped intensively, indicate clearly the movement of the ladino frontier eastward to overwhelm the lands of the Pech. Road improvements triggered alterations of Pech lands and their attempts to reconstruct their land tenure system. Today, of the approximately 1,900 Pech, about 90 percent occupy a much-reduced bi-nodal core region in two upland valleys in the municipios of Dulce Nombre de Culmi and San Esteban. eastern Olancho. A few Pech also live in outlier lowland aseas at Silin (near Trujillo) and at Las Marias on the Rio Platano
A comparison of Landau-Ginzburg models for odd-dimensional Quadrics
No full textIn [Rie08], the second author defined a Landau-Ginzburg model for homogeneous spaces G/P, as a regular function on an affine subvariety of the Langlands dual group. In this paper, we reformulate this LG model (X^, W_t) in the case of the odd-dimensional quadric, as a rational function on a Langlands dual projective space, in the spirit of work by R. Marsh and the second author for type A Grassmannians and by both authors for Lagrangian Grassmannians. We also compare this LG model with the one obtained independently by Gorbounov and Smirnov, and we use this comparison to deduce part of a conjecture of the second author for odd-dimensional quadrics
To Seize the Masses. Philosophy, Ideology and Propaganda by Karl Marx
No full textTitle: "To Seize the Masses". Philosophy, ideology and propaganda by Karl Marx Author: Robin Pech Department: Ústav filosofie a religionistiky Supervisor: Mgr. Petr Kouba, Ph.D. Abstract: The aim of the diploma thesis is to thematize and clarify the interdependence of philosophy, ideology and propaganda by Karl Marx. The realization of philosophy, according to Marx, is a critique of modern society. The aim of this critique, however, is not only the understanding and interpretation of social relations but, above all, their change. For these purposes, Marx has developed his philosophy of history. On this basis is explained the nature of modern society and formulated the political programme of its transformation. That is further publicly promoted to ensure adequate - mass - support for the revolution. Thus, arises remarkable combination of philosophy, political ideology and propaganda, which seems to be an integral part of Marx's thought and his literary work and therefore, also a serious problem of his interpretation.

Na tropie szamanizmu w paleolicie – na przykładzie jaskiń Cougnac i Pech-Merle .
No full textThe author of this thesis searches for traces of shamanism in paleolithic period through identification of signs and anthropomorphic resemblances that can have a connection with different stages of trance and shamanistic visions. For this article, Pech-Merle and Cougnac cave were chosen. Chronological range in this paper covers a period when Gravettian and Magdalenian cultures functioned. In order to carry out the above assumptions, the author used the results of structuralist research- search- ing for deep meaning and symbols, neuropsychological research – influence of altered states of con- sciousness on human and role of rites in simple societies, ethnographic research- different types of shamanic vocation and visions of shamanistic cosmology as well as interpretation of paintings and engravings based on the above mentioned scientific instruments. In the conclusion, the author shows that magical and religious practices similar to shamanism could function in paleolithic hunter-gatherer societies.The author of this thesis searches for traces of shamanism in paleolithic period through identification of signs and anthropomorphic resemblances that can have a connection with different stages of trance and shamanistic visions.
