Konference nejen o transferu technologií „Při přenosu technologií - alespoň jak my to vidíme - je důležité sledovat dopad (impact), a nikoli příjem (income). Lidé se hodně soustřeďují na příjem - ale ve skutečnosti jde o efekt: zda podnítíte vznik firem, jestli tyto firmy zaměstnají vysoce vzdělané absolventy a další lidi, zda dokážete povzbudit místní ekonomický rozvoj,“ upozornila dr. Catherine Ives z Massachusettského technického institutu (MIT) na mezinárodní konferenci „Výzkum a aplikace“, kterou ve dnech 17.-19. března 2015 pořádalo Biologické centrum AV ČR v Českých Budějovicích. and Jana Olivová.
For the precise glass molding it is necessary to use forms coated with an antiadhesive layer. There are many layers with antiadhesive properties known today, but each one has slightly different properties and is therefore more suitable for various applications. The objective of testing antiadhesive layers in Toptec, Institute of Plasma Physics, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, is to find optimal layers for precise glass molding that they are most suitable for use with the currently used mold and glass material. and Pro lisování optických elementů je nezbytné použít formy povlakované antiadhezní vrstvou. Vrstev s antiadhezními vlastnostmi je dnes známa celá řada, ale každá z nich má mírně odlišné vlastnosti a je tedy pro různé aplikace vhodnější. Cílem testování antiadhezních vrstev v Toptec, Ústavu fyziky plazmatu, Akademie věd ČR, je nalezení optimálních vrstev pro lisování optických komponent tak, aby byly co nejvhodnější pro použití s aktuálně používaným materiálem formy a skla.
The author defines spiritual folk song as asubject of ethnology of the present and ethnomusicology, and focuses on the contribution of this research to interdisciplinary hymnology. It represents one of the options of critical use of the model of ethnographic research of the present village performed by Václav Frolec with team at the Masaryk University in Brno in the 1970s and 1980s It is a thematic concept of research and a qualitative method which goes from the chronology of sources to the study of cultural continuity and cultural changes. The author modifies this methodology for research on songs and presents three case analyses 1. Current forms of ritual communication and the change from the spiritual to the secular
function of songs; 2. Two contexts of Baroque songs and contemporary culture; 3. Social function of the renewed customs and the origin of new Marian songs. Within this concept,
ethnomusicology and ethnology of the present are part of historical ethnology.
In the Croatia territory, the Czechs are concentrated predominantly in the area of the northwestern Slavonia. Center of this region with relatively compact Czech settlement is the town of Daruvar. Before and after the World War I, when the Czechoslovak Foreign Institute and the National Czechoslovak Council were established, the interest in this region increased. In 1930’s the Czechoslovak Foreign Institute initiated a mapping survey of this region, which was, however, not completed. The further initiative was launched several decades later. A research of culture of the Czech colony in the Daruvar region was carried out in 1965-70 by the Ethnography and Folklore Institute of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences (ČSAV) and the Folk Art Institute in Zagreb. More recent works devoted to the Czechs living in Croatia originate primarily in the country itself. My research in the region was realized above all in the form of interviews. I received a lot of necessary information from the Czech Union archives and from the local professional literature. In comparison with the previous research and with respect to the several-decade distance, it was possible to trace the process of acculturation and assimilation and to estimate its possible development. The accessible printed materials and literature are of miscellaneous origin. they partly come from the Czechoslovak Foreign Institute employees - Antonín Šembera, Rudolf Turčín and Jan Auerhan. Many valuable documents are deposited in the Central State Archive in Prague, in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs archive as well as in the Náprstek Museum’s archive. A rich archive is situated in the seat of the Czech Union in Croatia - in the Czech House in Daruvar. It contains many documents from the life of the Czech minority. The collections in this archive were assorted with the help of the Czech Republic, that is to say by archivists from the Central State Archive in Prague who had been working here for several years since 2001.
