Security in the World Since the Cold War
No full textDiplomová práce je věnována stěžejním otázkám a problémům globálního geopolitického vývoje s důrazem položeným na období po rozpadu bipolárního světa. V jednotlivých kapitolách jsou prezentovány geopolitické teorie v jejich historickém kontextu, klíčové aspekty bezpečnostně politického vývoje světa v éře studené války. Následně analyzujeme aktuální hrozby a rizika globálně bezpečnostní vývoje světa, především pak Evropy a vypracujeme hypotézu jejího možného vývoje.The thesis is devoted to core issues and problems of global geopolitical developments, with emphasis laid on the period after the collapse of the bipolar world. The individual chapters outline the geopolitical theories in their historical context, key aspects of security-political development of the world in the Cold War era. Subsequently, we analyze current threats and risks of global security developments of the world, especially Europe and work out the hypothesis of its possible development.Ústav elektroniky a měřen
Economic War as a Means of International Politics
No full textV mé bakalářské práci je definován pojem závislost a její charakteristika v podmínkách České republiky. Na základě teoretického vymezení ekonomické války, jejich symptomů a projevů, analyzovat rizika vyplývající ze SWOT analýzy konkurenceschopnosti ČR, zpracovanou Ministerstvem průmyslu a obchodu. Cílem je analyzovat zranitelná místa konkurenceschopnosti ČR a rizika vyplývající pro vývoj finanční politiky státu a jejího dopadu na národohospodářskou politiku s důrazem na inflaci, spotřebu obyvatelstva a zahraniční obchod.My bachelor thesis is devoted to the current topic economic/financial war. In theoretical part we define the concept of dependence, its symptoms and manifestations. Practical part describes risks arising from the SWOT analysis of the competitiveness of the Czech Republic, prepared by the Ministry of Industry and Trade. The aim is to analyze the competitiveness of the CR's vulnerabilities and risks inherent in the development of the financial policy of the country and its impact on the economics' policy with an emphasis on inflation, population's consumption and foreign trade.Ústav krizového řízen
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
"Memorandum 68" v kontextu československého strategického myšlení 60. let
Full text linkIn the presented paper the authors are focusing on development of original Czechoslovakian military thinking in the period of the 1960’s. The intention of the article is to contribute to the theme of the impacts of Soviet military strategy to Czechoslovakian military doctrine and planning. On the other hand, the authors are trying to depict the influences of Western military theory on the key text of the Prague Spring which was Memorandum 68. The authors of this text were connected with The Prague MilitaryPolitical Academy. This was the main public institution criticizing the dependence of Czechoslovakian army on Soviet General staff. Despite to the occupation of Czechoslovakia in August 1968, the thoughts of our military thinkers have been living and are able to inspire us for the future
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
