The enormous importance of water for human settlement is reflected in the huge quantity of Slavic lexemes in mediaeval settlement names, referring to different kinds of bodies of water, marshland, distinct features of water and so on. Yet place names can also indicate the use of water, as will be shown for Bohemia in thes essay. In analysing these names, the essential precepts of onomastics must be observed. Firstly, rather than giving a run-of-the-mill account, names reflect a distinguishing feature particular to a certain settlement. For example, the name Mlynec indicates that a mill was the only one in its vicinity (and therefore outstanding enough to feature in the name of this settlement(. Secondly, many places names which may appear to refer to the use of water might also have other origins, such as metaphorical relations. In order to determine the impact and the use of water in early mediaeval settlement areas, it must be concluded that there are more reliable ways than counting corresponding topnyms. Analysing the complete toponomasticon of a settlement region offers a more precise picture, as is demonstrated for the region eas of the lower River Neisse/Nysa Lužycka at the end of this essay., Christian Zschieschang., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
The Institute of Information and Automation of ASCR (UTIA) and an Italian firm Screen Services completed the first stage of the cooperative project of developing and industrial receiver for the DVB-T2, a new generation of the digital terrestrial television broadcasting. DVB-T2 is the most advanced system in the world and introduces the latest modulation and coding techniques to enable highly efficient use of the valuable terrestrial spectrum for the delivery of audio, video and data services to fixed, portable or mobile devices. and Milan Tichý.
Geophysical data are used not only, in geological mapping, exploration of mineral resources, hydrogeology, but are also important for other branches such as environmental protection, civil engineering and archeology. That is why, within the project CzechGeo/EPOS (www.czechgeo.cz), geophysical data access is solved as a separate topic under the guidance of the Czech Geological Survey (hereinafter CGS). In accordance with the current needs of national and international activities (INSPIRE, EPOS, IAGA), an inventory of available data, its consolidation and harmonization according to national and international standards is conducted. The aim is to store securely and permanently valuable data, which in many cases cannot be reinstated. On the example from the Nízký Jeseník Mts. possible advantages and utilization of Archive data for mapping and verification of the movement tendencies gained from GNSS networks – EPN, EAST SUDETEN and MORAVA are demonstrated. Very valuable information for the interpretation of structural and tectonic conditions is provided by geophysical data (seismic reflection profiles, gravity and magnetic data, etc.) in the area of interest, especially in terms of monitoring the main fault systems and the character of the basement structures.
Observations of stellar spectra in the UV-region during twenty years are briefly reviewed. Basic achievements have been made in the investigation of interstellar absorption, effective temperatures scale, mass loss, stellar chromospheres and non-stationary stars.
My experience from interdisciplinary research is based on the exploitation of studies of related branches of science that serve as auxiliary sciences to the major branch of science. In the course of study of more complex phenomena of folk culture one needs to research into their origin (not their typological development). The most limiting factor, from my point of view, is ethnographical regionalisation and the established borderlines of regions and countries. Another limiting factor is a close cohesion with the established understanding of branch-specific sources of information and methods, particularly physical preservation of
ethnographic artefacts. The significance of training in auxiliary sciences for multiaspect studies is described via six examples from the author’s own study of wooden multi-aspect in Europe. Having combined aspects from several disciplines, the author managed to come up with new perspectives with respect to various issues of origins of well-known phenomena. The result was an attempt to synthesise a phenomenon the genetics of which can be examined in broad interethnic contexts only. Each and every synthesis does indeed answer the research questions, but it also asks new questions for further researches to answer. It is therefore necessary to prepare accordingly, with respect to these researches. interdisciplinary studies require familiarisation with analytical methods in related branches of science. Education of experts in ethnology could be extended to include the study of auxiliary sciences, as is the case of the auxiliary sciences of history.
The end of the century was the cause to publish this anniversary ethnographic Yearbook. The yearbook informs about the history of the Ethnographic Society that was founded in Prague in 1891. Its development was a mirror of the development of all social sciences in the troubled waters of the twentieth century. After the report on the Ethnographic Society comes the chapter on ethnographic university departments and research centres. It is followed by informations about ethnographic periodicals, bibliography, and the preservation of monuments. The user can also find * informations about museums with ethnographic collections. The address of the museum is always concluded. An individual person can be found in the Register of Czech Ethnographers and Folklorists. It informs you about the date and place of birth, education, address of work and home, specialization. The Ethnographic Society has a netwok of correspondence. Although they change, some of them remain for a long time, and send the outcome of their research to the archives of the society, so that they enrich the professional quarters. The yearbook gives you the names and addresses of the current correspondents The yearbook is closed with the picture appendix that contains the works awarded in the Most-Important-Deed-in-the-Field Survey. Since it was not possible to get the informations from all institutions or individuals that were wanted, we apologize for possible incompleteness. It is not our fault. We hope that this anniversary yearbook is the first step of the future tradition of regular evaluating yearbooks. and Anglický abstrakt s šifrou (lv) uveden na str. 192.
