The conference was held in conjunction with 7th International Stem School in Regenerative Medicine, which offered Ph.D. students and young researchers the opportunity to discuss with prominent scientists in the field of stem cell biology and regenerative medicine. Regenerative medicine stands at the forefront of current medical research as scientists seek to better understand regenerative abilities of our cells and tissues and to use these abilities to enable the rescue and repair of damaged tissue resulting from injury or disease. and Luděk Svoboda.
The topmost meeting of experts in the area of nuclear physics and elementary particle physics, took place in Prague March 21-27, 2009. It provided an international science forum for exchanging information on computing experience and needs for the High Energy and Nuclear Physics communities, and also reviewed recent, ongoing and future activities. CHEP conferences are held in 18-month intervals (the last conference was held in Canada 2007). Nuclear physics and elementary particle physics (called high-energy physics today) represent branches that are also crucial for development in the area of computers and data processing. For example, it is particle physics that is credited for the emergence of the World Wide Web. and Alan Silverman, Miloš Lokajíček a Jiří Rameš, Jiří Dolejší.

The aim of the present article is to shed light on the background of the analytical frame that nas been developped by the author himself and his colleague L. Thévenot in De la justification. Les économies de la grandeur. It has been conceived as an instrument to be applied in the analysis of the critical operations (critism and justification in situations of confiict) carried out by the actors in their everyday life. Yet the position of the sociologist and therefore of his work is challenged at the same time. The critical actor and the "classical" sociologist that pretend to have access to a more genuine reality than ordinary people have and that thus assume a critical position, appear to be much closer to each other than it is usually believed. In order to make the analysis of the ciritcal operations possiible, this position of the "classical" sociologist must be abandoned. This is how our critical societies, in which actors are endowed with critical ressources and use them quasi-permanently, can be grasped as an object of sociological analysis. The author thn examines the conditions of possibility of such a sociology of criticism and the socilogist´s new position he is conducted hereafter to occupy., Luc Boltanski., and Obsahuje použitou literaturu
