Ltd.The COST Action CA16116 – “Wearable Robots for Augmentation, Assistance or Substitution of Human Motor Functions” was recently started. The goal of such an Action is to create a European network in support of the academic, technological, and societal development of the field “Wearable Robots” across Europe. This paper will introduce the basics of the Action as well as clarify how interested researchers and other stakeholder can get involved.The work presented in this paper is supported by the COST Action CA16116.

Identificatie met het Koninkrijk, Een publieke samenspraak door Luc Alofs en Jan Veneman
No full textSpreken over het koninkrijk is een jongleuroefening. Economische argumenten leiden tot geopolitieke overwegingen; discussies over financiële verhoudingen resulteren in speculaties over politieke strategieën; van juridische debatten over personenverkeer is het een kleine stap naar beleidsvorming over integratietrajecten voor koninkrijksmigranten. Daarom is het goed om stil te staan bij één dimensie van het koninkrijk, te weten die van cultuur en verbondenheid, van identiteit en vooral identificatie. Cultuur en identiteit zijn onmisbare onderdelen van menselijke verbondenheid, maar de onduidelijkheid over de precieze betekenis van deze kernbegrippen maakt de discussie lastig. Deze publieke lezing onderzoekt de vraag naar de mogelijkheden van staatsburgers om zich te identificeren met het koninkrijk. De vraag is daarom: is identificatie met een land vergelijkbaar met 'identificatie met een koninkrijk'
Re-defining wearable robots: a multidisciplinary approach towards a unified terminology
No full textEffective communication is especially important in the wearable robots (WRs) community, which encloses a great variety of devices across different application domains, e.g., healthcare, occupational, and consumer. In this paper we present a vocabulary of terms with the aim to create a common understanding of terms and concepts among the different fields of expertise relevant in the WRs community. Our goal is to develop shared documentation that could serve as a reference to facilitate the use of accepted definitions in the field. The presented vocabulary is the result of different focus group discussions among experts in the field. The resulting document was then validated by presenting it to the WR community through an online survey. The results of the survey highlight a strong agreement in terms of acceptance of the vocabulary, its usefulness, and applicability of the proposed definitions as well as an overall appreciation for its purpose and target. This work represents a pilot study providing unique material for the WR community, encouraging the use of shared agreed definitions. The reported version of the vocabulary has been made available as a live document in a github repository, for public commenting and further improvements

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
ELEVEN FACES OF JAN GOGOL, JR.
No full textAuthor Jan Rendl in his thesis attempts to look at the world of ideas and educator Jan
Gogola ml. through the eleven chapters in which each chapter somehow characterizes itself by Jan Gogola ml. and each of them somehow determines its creative ideas of it through the metaphor of a football match when Jan Gogola, with its characters, movies himself a teammate, as well as defensively. It gives goals with their situations as well as occasionally digging his opponents ankles.
Jan Gogola ml. thus embodies one stage of the Department of Documentary Film at FAMU, which often stands at the intersection between teaching activities and Karel Vachek among students who applied by them during their seminars psychological methods that work must be peculiarly associated with the author of the film

No full textAnglická anotace The theological work of Jan Valerian Jirsík Jan Hamberger This thesis deals with the theological work of the Czech 19th century author Jan Valerián Jirsík (1798-1883). Its first part consists of an introduction into the Czech historical context of the 19th century and the life of the author. Its second part presents a survey of the literary-theological work of Jirsík in three life phases: the first phase is demarked by his activity as chaplain and vicar, the second phase by his editorial activity for Casopis pro katolické duchovenstvo (trans. Magazine for catholic clergy) and the last phase by his pontifical years in the diocese of Southern Bohemia. His literary work is divided by theme into various periods, shortly described and characterized. The last and major section of this thesis deals with the most comprehensive and renown work of Jan Valerián Jirsík - Populární dogmatika (trans. Popular doctrine).
