No full textLimnoxenus olenus sp. nov. (Figs. 1–6) Type locality and horizon. Aix-en-Provence (43°19′N 5°27′E), Bouches-du-Rhône, France; Aix-en-Provence Formation, Latest Oligocene, Late Chattian, about 22.5 million years ago. Type material. HOLOTYPE: MNHN A32835 (part and counterpart; nearly completely preserved beetle in ventral view with preserved maxillary palpi and fore and hind legs). PARATYPE: MNHN A32836 (part and counterpart; nearly completely preserved beetle in ventral view with partly preserved legs); both deposited in Laboratoire de Paléontologie, Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle, Paris, France. Description. Body elongate oval. For body measurements, see Table 1. Head. Dorsal surface of head with visible frontoclypeal sutures arising very close to anterior margin of eyes; anterior margin of clypeus weakly emarginate. Eyes large, not protruding laterad of head outline, interocular distance 2.5 times the width of one eye in dorsal view. Gula weakly narrowing anteriad, bearing distinct median longitudinal ridge posteriorly; genae with coarse granulate sculpture. Maxillary bases connected by sharp transverse ridge. Mentum transverse, 1.8 times as wide as long, anterior margin arcuately convex. Maxillary palpus slender, shorter than width of head; maxillary palpomere 2 longest, slightly bent inwards; palpomere 4 longer than palpomere 3. Thorax. Pronotum weakly narrowing anteriad, posterior corners rounded. Prosternum carinate medially; procoxal cavities contiguous medially; mesal portions of notopleural suture open. Transverse ridge below posterior margin of prothorax well developed, nearly reaching lateral margin. Mesoventrite divided from mesanepisternum by well developed anapleural sutures, shape of mesoventrite subtriangular with concave lateral margins (‘trapezoidal’ sensu SHORT & LIEBHERR (2007: Figs. 5A–C)); mesoventrite with high longitudinal median keel, anteromedian pit of mesoventrite (‘mesoventrite depression’ sensu SHORT & LIEBHERR (2007)) well developed. Scutellar shield large, triangular, ca. as long as wide. Elytra with sharply impressed sutural stria and nine longitudinal punctural series, series 7–10 (i.e., four lateral-most series) probably sharply impressed at least in posterior half. Mesocoxal cavities transverse, contiguous medially. Metaventrite slightly longer than mesoventrite; median portion longitudinally elevate, with sharp submedian arcuate ridges delimiting the median portion (both median elevation and submedian keels not seen in the paratype). Metanepisternum 3.2 times as long as wide, nearly equally wide throughout, with sharp transverse ridge anteriorly.Published as part of Fikáček, Martin, Prokop, Jakub, Nel, André & Umr, Cnrs, 2010, Fossil water scavenger beetles of the subtribe Hydrobiusina (Coleoptera: Hydrophilidae) from the Late Oligocene locality of Aix-en-Provence (France), pp. 445-458 in Acta Entomologica Musei Nationalis Pragae 50 (2) on page 448, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.532704
Street reconstruction of Prokop Veliký in Vysoké Mýto
No full textThe aim of my thesis is reconstruction of Prokop Veliký street in Vysoké Mýto.Desing should solve streamlining of roads including the connection to the side roads. Along the road there should be designed parking spaces, pedestrian crossings and places for crossing including barrier-free modifications. The separation of sidewalk from the traffic lane by the green belt will be preserved

Jack Alive / Martin Dead : The Location of the "Author" in Jack London\u27s Martin Eden
No full textThis essay is an attempt to read Martin Eden, Jack Londonʼs autobiographical novel, in terms of the inextricable relationship between the author and the protagonist. Critics have often taken the unbalanced plot and the lack of ironic distance between narrator and character in Martin Eden as the technical weakness of London, but this paper argues that the achievement of this novel owes a great deal to the attachment of London to Martin. The unbalanced structure is a necessary product of the severe struggle of the author to kill his romantic alter ego. // Martin, who aspires to win Ruth Morse, tries to cross class boundaries by making a career of a writer. Even after realizing the emptiness of Ruth, who turns out to be nothing but a typical figure of the bourgeoisie, he somehow persists in loving her. The notion underlying here is that, for Martin, love, career and art are fundamentally inseparable. He objects to the aestheteʼs view of Brissenden on account of his separation of art from career. Martinʼs identity and life consist only in the triunity of love/career/art; the alternative is the repudiation of life. Thus, the unnatural delay of his disappointment in love can be regarded as Londonʼs strategy to set the suicide of Martin as the necessary consequence of the story. // By finishing the story and killing Martin, London finally detaches himself from Martin, reconstructs his self, and, unlike Martin, survives as a professional writer. In this sense, Martin Eden is a story about “writerʼs self-reconstruction.
