Questions concerning the 1989 democratic revolutions and the collapse of "real socialism" in East Central Europe were a highlight of an international conference in Prague organized by two AS CR Institutes. The conference’s aim was to historicize the democratic revolutions of 1989, moving beyond the dominant "transitological" understanding of these revolutions in terms of the "End of Communism" and the "Beginning of Democracy." These were questions discussed: "Did these revolutions and the end of "real socialism" signal the end of revolutionary regimes and the beginning of a "restoration," or rather the replacement of worn-out communist revolutions with a new, neoliberal revolution? Or, considering the nonviolent character of the events, did they really constitute a revolution at all?" It was observed that modern political identities and ideological currents are marked by their attitudes toward the pheno-menon of revolution and toward various historical revolutionary models. Other themes were, "Democratic, Liberal, or Neoliberal Revolution? Dissent, Post-Dissent, and the Ideas of 1989. The End of History or the End of the Future? Theories of Soviet-type Society. The Second Life of the 1968 Prague Spring in 1989." Hosting the conference were the Department for the Study of Late Socialism and Post-Socialism of the Institute of Contemporary History ASCR and the Department for the Study of Modern Czech Philosophy of the Philosophy Institute ASCR, held October 2-3, 2014 at the Villa Lana. and Petr Kužel.

Sazná nemoc kůry je méně známé onemocnění způsobené houbou Cryptostroma corticale (Ascomycota), s ostrůvkovitým výskytem v Evropě. Postihuje zejména javory kleny (Acer pseudoplatanus) a jejich hromadná vymírání byla zaznamenána u stromů oslabených stresem, především po nadprůměrně suchých a horkých letních měsících. Nedávný výskyt onemocnění v České republice podnítil studium druhu C. corticale a jeho rozšíření v Praze. Výsledek naší čtyřleté studie prokázal, že napadena je minimálně čtvrtina klenů v pražských parcích., Sooty bark disease is a less known disease caused by fungal species Cryptostroma corticale (Ascomycota), with patchy incidence in Europe. It mainly affects Sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus), and its mass dieback was observed in trees weakened by stress, especially after the exceptionally dry and hot summer months. Recent record of the disease in the Czech Republic prompted the research of C. corticale and its occurrence in Prague. The results of our four-year study showed that at least 25 % of Sycamore trees in Prague parks are infected., and Ivana Kelnarová, Ondřej Koukol, Karel Černý.
The Library of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic (ASL) manages a significant collection of books on aeronautics. The collection was assembled by the collector Eduard Langer more than a hundred years ago. Its part kept in the ASL consists of 67 printed books in 61 volumes. These are rarely preserved books from the 18th and 19th centuries in Italian, French, English, German and Latin. No other such extensive collection on this topic has been found in domestic libraries, and, although it is only a part of Langer’s original collection, it bears comparison even with collections of world-famous institutions. The text presents this remarkable collection in terms of provenance, authors and genres and is complemented by a list of printed books. and Andrea Jelínková.
