In the summer issue of Academic Bulletin, 53 directors of all Academy institutes were introduced. They will be in charge of their institutes during the next five years. In this issue, we have asked them three questions: In which direction they will lead the development of their institute? What are they doing to reach excellence in science? If they can lead the institutions in accordance with the new statutes called "Public Research Institutions".
This month we continue with the comments of the directors of all the Academy institutes, who were asked these three questions: In which direction they will lead the development of their institutes? What are they doing to achieve excellence in science? Can they evaluate the work in accordance with the new statutes called Public Research Institution?
We continue in introduction the comments of three additional directors of Academy Institutes, who were asked three questions. and Odpovědi 3 ředitelů ústavů AV ČR na otázky redakce ( pokračování)
The Institute of Philosophy of ASCR on November 26-27, 2012 hosted two lectures by Howard Hotson, professor of early modern intellectual history at the University of Oxford and steering committee chair of the Council for the Defence of British Universities. In his lecture Networking the Republic of Letters: an Introduction to Early Modern Letters Online Professor Hotson introduced his project on which he cooperates with scientists at the Institute of Philosophy of ASCR. In his lecture, Understanding the Global University Crisis: The Marketisation of English Higher Education in International Perspective, he criticizes the British government reforms of higher education. and Gabriela Adámková.
In 2010, the body a Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe (1546-1601) was exhumed from a tomb in the Church of Our Lady before T9n in Old Town Square in Prague to authenticate the cause of his death. Brahe's death only eleven days after the onset of a sudden illness has been a mystery for over four hundred years. Over the centuries, a variety of myths and theories about his death were propounded. The most persistent theory has been that mercury poisoning caused Brahe's death. After studying samples for two years taken during the exhumation, the team of researchers from Aarhus University in Denmark, the University of Southern Denmark and the ASCR's Nuclear Physics Institute came to the unanimous conclusion that Brahe did not die of mercury poisoning. and Jan Kučera, Jan Kameník a Vladimír Havránek.
This conference took place 3-7 March 2008 and was held in the Emauzy Abbey. ALICE is the acronym for A Large Ion Collider Experiment, one of the largest experiments in the world devoted to research in the physics of matter on an infinitely small scale. Hosted at CERN, this project involves the international collaboratin of more than 1000 physicists, engineers and technicians from 300 countries. Together they are contributing to the resolution of one of the latest challenges in fundamental physics recounting the birth of matter. and Michal Šumbera, Vojtěch Petráček, Petr Závada.
Brain Awareness Week this year featured lectures by leading Czech neuroscientists and other brain scientists. It was the Czech Republic´s 18th observance, held on March 14-18, 2016 at the Czech Academy of Sciences main building. This issue of the Academic Bulletin presents an article by Dr. Alexandr Chvátal of the Institute of Experimental Medicine fo the CAS on what is known about glial cells at present. According to the general opinion, the central nervous system (CNS), whose principal purpose is the acquisition, processing and storage of information and response to external stimuli, to mainly composed of neurons that provide all of this above-mentioned functions. In fact, many glial cells are also involved in these functions. The aim of this brief overview is to correct some misconceptions about glial cells and to summarize some new insights about their role in nervous tissue functions. Many of the results were obtained by researchers from the Institute of Experimental Medicine of the Czech Academy of Sciences. and Autorem je redakce uvedená zkratkou red
