Objectives. The main goal of the study was to analyse in detail specific family indicators and their relation to selected indicator of life satisfaction in a representative sample of Czech children. Sample and setting. A total number of 4 351 children aged 11, 13 and 15 years out of 88 randomly selected schools in Czech Republic formed the study population. The data was acquired in the framework of the WHO study “The Health Behaviour in School-aged Children: A WHO Cross National Study” (HBSC) in June 2010 by means of standardized questionnaires. Research questions. Is formal structure of family or the quality of communication more important for children's life satisfaction? Statistical analysis. Statistical analysis included descriptive analyses, the x2 test of independence in contingency tables, Fisher’s exact test, two samples T-test, one and two way analysis of variance using the NCSS 2007 program. Logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the influence of family on life satisfaction of children and prevalence odds ratios with 95% confidence interval were calculated as measure of association. Results. Life satisfaction was high for majority of children, it reached two thirds of possible maximum at both of the followed scales (Cantril index, Huebner scale) for the whole sample. Life satisfaction was significantly associated (p<0,001) with age, gender, formal structure of family and quality of communication in family. Children from complete families with easy or very easy communication with both parents had the highest values at both of the followed life satisfaction scales. Study limitations. Limitations of the study result from the cross-sectional design and data based on self-reports. Both life satisfaction and family were analysed on the basis of selected question categories., L.

The article draws attention to the new possibilities of the research into the genre and thematic composition of Czech printed production of the 16th century, which are going to be offered by the Knihověda.cz portal in future. This portal virtually merges two databases of the national retrospective bibliography - Knihopis and Bibliografie cizojazyčných bohemikálních tisků 1501-1800 [The Bibliography of Foreign-Language Printed Bohemica 1501-1800]. It examines the genre composition of both Czech- and foreign-language printed production of the 16th century, which comprises a total of more than 4,000 units, and monitors the gradual development of the genres established in previous periods and the occurrence of entirely new genres. The aim of the paper is not a detailed analysis of the selected period but rather a basic overview of the genres and an indication of new research possibilities., Andrea Jelínková., Obsahuje anglické resumé a dvě textové přílohy, and Obsahuje bibliografické odkazy
Článek přináší zprávu o pozorování nového invazivního druhu motýla - zavíječe zimostrázového (Cydalima perspectalis) na zimostrázu vždyzeleném (Buxus sempervirens) v Břeclavi v létě 2015. Druh se rozšířil z východní Asie, první výskyt v Evropě je doložen r. 2006 z Německa, v ČR byl první nález publikován r. 2011 z Hnanic na Znojemsku (v r. 2015 je potvrzen výskyt i z Prahy). Housenky jsou schopné způsobit značné škody zvláště vzhledem k tomu, že poškození zpočátku spíše působí jako přirozeně proschlé větvičky. Až při bližší prohlídce je vidět často velké množství housenek hlouběji v keřích. Zavíječ zimostrázový nemá v Evropě přirozené nepřátele. Jako ochranu lze použít kontaktní insekticidy, které však likvidují i jiné, užitečné druhy hmyzu, nebo ekologicky šetrnější preparáty s toxinem bakterie Bacillus thuringiensis. V malých výsadbách lze housenky likvidovat také ručně., In the summer of 2015, a new invasive species - Box Tree Moth (Cydalima perspectalis) - was observed in Břeclav on Common Box (Buxus sempervirens). The moth spread from East Asia, the first presence in Europe was documented in Germany (2006), the first published occurrence in the Czech Republic is from the Znojmo region (2011; in 2015 confirmed in Prague). The caterpillars can cause considerable damage especially due to the fact that the damage initially tends to look like naturally dry twigs. Nevertheless, upon closer inspection, a large number of caterpillars are often seen deeper in the bushes. Box Tree Moth has no natural enemies in Europe. As a protection, contact insecticides may be used which, however, kill other useful insects too, or environmentally friendly formulations of Bacillus thuringiensis toxin. In small plantings caterpillars can also be disposed of by hand., and Zdeněk Hubálek, Jana Grulichová.
