The 700th birth anniversary of King of Bohemia and Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV has been designated as one of UNESCO´s important world anniversaries for 2016-2017. The Czech Academy of Sciences recreates the period of Charles IV at the exhibiton entitled Seven Towers. Charles IV through the eyes of academics (1316-2016) at the Science and Art Gallery. The visitors have an oppportunity to see the unique gold ducats with a picture of Charles IV. For this first time the most valuable archaeological discoveries of glass goblets are exhibited. Everyday items used by residents of the medieval city are also on display. The exhibition also shows a rare treasure of coins, which was hidden in the Emmaus monastery about 1370, as well as copies of the Constitutive Act of the Charles University, Charles´s Code Maiestas Carolina or late-medieval transcript of Charles´ Golden Bull. Personality of Charles IV is documented by commemorative coins, medals and seals bearing his image. Part of the exhibition is also a faithful copy of the statue of Charles IV from the Old Town Bridge Tower, the last sculptural portrait of the monarch before his death. and Marina Hužvárová.
Die Dissertation "Widerstand, Attacke, Rivalität (Literarische Konflikte in der sowjetischen Kultur der 1960er und 70er Jahre in der Sowjetunion)" untersucht die literaturkritischen und politischen Auseinandersetzungen und nimmt die rhetorischen, diskursiven und institutionellen Strategien der Antagonisten beier Seiten, der "offiziellen" und der "inoffiziellen", in den Blick. Der gewählte Teil für diese Publikation beschäftigt sich mit den 1970er Jahren, mit institutioneller Konsolidierung und Differenzierung der offiziellen und der inoffiziellen Sphäre des Kultur- und Literaturbetriebs. Dabei wird gezeigt, wie sich die inoffizielle Kultursphäre durch mediale Strategien - durch die Einschaltung einer Figur des Dritten, des Zeugen - und juristische Maßnahmen in der sowjetischen Gesellschaft und Kultur etabliert.
Seyfert galaxies with linear nuclear radio structures have been studied with long-slit spectroscopy. Very extended, narrow [OIll] emission is detected in several of the objects, highly elongated along the radio source axis. This Extended Narrow Line Region would be consistent with interstellar gas that is photoionized by collimated energetic radiation from the nucleus. Within the Narrow Line Region detailed correspondences between [Olll] emission features and individual radio components have been found in a number of Seyfert galaxies. Velocities and positions of these [OIll] features suggest that they may be produced when ambient gas has been compressed by an outmoving radio component, subsequently cools down behind the bow shock and then is photoionized by the nuclear continuum source.
