The study deals with the German-language (Sudeten German) ethnography in the Czech lands, exemplifying it with an analysis and contextualization of a selected hand-written source concerning annual customs in Moravian Wallachia (Walter Repper: Das Kirchenjahr und seine Feste bei den mährischen Walachen). In his
text, the author points out the parallelism in the development of Czech-language and German-language ethnographic research in the 19th and early 20th centuries. This research showed only rare
overlaps and contacts between ethnically defined societies. However, the 1930s saw an increasing interest of German researchers in the culture of Slavic inhabitants of the Czech lands.
This trend was based on the concept of “tribal¨ethnography” (stammheitliche Volkskunde) and it was consummated by the establishment of an independent department at German University in Prague, which focused on tribal history and ethnography of
Moravia (Lehrstuhl für Volkskunde und Stammesgeschichte Mährens). It is in the context of this Sudeten German ethnography´s orientation that Walter Repper´s manuscript about customs and
habits in Moravian Wallachia is analysed. The manuscript is dated
to 1939. The author of it studied at German University in Prague at
the turn of the1940s, and he wrote the work most probably as part of a students practical training. The content of the manuscript is
compared with earlier published works about customary culture of
Wallachia, and subsequently particular sources of inspiration are
identified. The author of the study tries to highlight to which degree
the focus of Repper´s work corresponds to the application of the “tribal ethnography” concept.
We report on the first field season at the Gravettian site Hošťálkovice II. Hošťálkovice II is an important site in the region of Ostrava situated at a strategic position above the confluence of Odra and Opava Rivers. Previous surface prospections and a small test pit excavated in 1995 found evidence for a Gravettian industry, as well as younger (Neolithic?) occupation. Two archaeological layers were detected in 1995 and the documented profile was 1.3–1.5 m thick. An excavation conducted in 2019 approx. 30 m away from the 1995 test pit showed significant differences in stratigraphy. The maximum thickness of the sediments does not exceed 30 cm. Both Palaeolithic (patinated) and post-Paleolithic (non-patinated) artefacts were situated throughout the profile. In this contribution, we present all previous knowledge about the site, discuss the stratigraphy and the possibility of several occupation events at the site during the Palaeolithic/post-Palaeolithic period.
Let X be a complex L1-predual, non-separable in general. We investigate extendability of complex-valued bounded homogeneous Baire-α functions on the set ext B_{X*} of the extreme points of the dual unit ball B_{X*} to the whole unit ball B_{X*}. As a corollary we show that, given α \in [1, ω1), the intrinsic α-th Baire class of X can be identified with the space of bounded homogeneous Baire-α functions on the set ext B_{X*} when ext B_{X*} satisfies certain topological assumptions. The paper is intended to be a complex counterpart to the same authors’ paper: Baire classes of non-separable L1-preduals (2015). As such it generalizes former work of Lindenstrauss and Wulbert (1969), Jellett (1985), and ourselves (2014), (2015)., Pavel Ludvík, Jiří Spurný., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
A characterization of functions in the first Baire class in terms of their sets of discontinuity is given. More precisely, a function f : R → R is of the first Baire class if and only if for each ε > 0 there is a sequence of closed sets {Cn}∞ n=1 such that Df = ∞S n=1 Cn and ωf (Cn) < ε for each n where ωf (Cn) = sup{|f(x) − f(y)|: x, y ∈ Cn} and Df denotes the set of points of discontinuity of f. The proof of the main theorem is based on a recent ε-δ characterization of Baire class one functions as well as on a wellknown theorem due to Lebesgue. Some direct applications of the theorem are discussed in the paper.
