The article is a reflection on the neoliberal knowledge economy, the traffic in antiracist feminist theory, and the way my work has been read (lost or found in translation) and has crossed geopolitical and racial/cultural borders. It comments as well on the development of my intellectual project in relation to my location in the US academy and the intellectual and political communities that have made the work possible. The larger frame I seek to examine using responses to my work in three sites – Sweden, Mexico, and Palestine – is the way feminist, postcolonial, and antiracist theory emerges from a particular geopolitical, intellectual space; the way it enacts crossings; and the way it is trafficked, consumed, and understood in different geographies. Given the global and domestic shifts in social movements and transnational feminist scholarly projects over the past three decades, my major concern pertains to the depoliticization of antiracist feminist/women-of-color/transnational feminist intellectual projects in neoliberal, national-security-driven geopolitical landscapes.
Transparentní keramika se v laserové technice využívá jako matrice aktivních laserových prostředí vysokovýkonových laserů, kde se začala prosazovat od začátku milénia. Díky svým jedinečným vlastnostem je atraktivní alternativou monokrystalů a skel, kdy nachází využití v široké škále oborů a aplikací zahrnujících optiku, vojenství, medicínu, detektory záření a další., Transparent ceramics have been used as matrices for laser gain media of high power lasers since the beginning of this millennium. Thanks to its unique qualities it has become an attractive alternative to glasses and single crystals, finding applications in the field of optics, defence, medical facilities, radiation detectors and many others., Samuel Paul David, Petr Navrátil, Martin Hanuš, Venkatesan Jambunathan, Martin Divoký, Antonio Lucianetti, Tomáš Mocek., and Obsahuje bibliografické odkazy
Požadavek transparentnosti vlastnických struktur až po konečné skutečné vlastníky u společností získávajících veřejné prostředky je horkým tématem od roku 2011, kdy tento požadavek vznesla tehdejší Národní ekonomická rada vlády (NERV) jako zásadní opatření pro boj s korupcí ve veřejných zakázkách.1 Hlavním cílem tohoto článku je analyzovat námitku, že požadavek transparentnosti vlastnických struktur právnických osob přijímajících veřejné prostředky není v souladu s právem EU v oblasti zadávání veřejných zakázek. Druhotným cílem je upozornit na nové souvislosti, které do debaty ohledně tématu transparentnosti vlastnických struktur vnesly jak dohoda mezi Evropskou unií a ČR o podmínkách čerpání finančních prostředků EU na programovací období 2014–2020, tak nedávno schválená čtvrtá směrnice proti legalizaci výnosů z trestné činnosti a financování terorismu. and The requirement of transparency of corporate ownership structures reaching up to the ultimate beneficial owners of companies receiving public funds has been a hot topic since 2011 when it was raised by the National Economic Council of the Government (NERV) as a key measure in the fight against corruption in public procurement. The primary purpose of this article is to analyse the objection that the requirement of transparency of ownership structures of companies receiving public funds is not in accordance with the law of the European Union. The secondary goal is to point to new developments brought into the debate about the transparency of corporate ownership structures both by the Partnership Agreement between the European Union and the recently approved fourth Anti-Money Laundering Directive. The first requires the disclosure of ownership structures of ultimate beneficiaries of those funds which are legal persons, the latter obliges all legal persons registered in any EU Member State to publish the identity of their ultimate beneficial owners in a public register.
Soil water availability, nutrient supply and climatic conditions are key factors for plant production. For a sustainable integration of bioenergy plants into agricultural systems, detailed studies on their water uses and growth performances are needed. The new bioenergy plant Igniscum Candy is a cultivar of the Sakhalin Knotweed (Fallopia sachalinensis), which is characterized by a high annual biomass production. For the determination of transpiration-yield relations at the whole plant level we used wicked lysimeters at multiple irrigation levels associated with the soil water availability (25, 35, 70, 100%) and nitrogen fertilization (0, 50, 100, 150 kg N ha-1). Leaf transpiration and net photosynthesis were determined with a portable minicuvette system. The maximum mean transpiration rate was 10.6 mmol m-2 s-1 for well-watered plants, while the mean net photosynthesis was 9.1 µmol m-2 s-1. The cumulative transpiration of the plants during the growing seasons varied between 49 l (drought stressed) and 141 l (well-watered) per plant. The calculated transpiration coefficient for Fallopia over all of the treatments applied was 485.6 l kg-1. The transpiration-yield relation of Igniscum is comparable to rye and barley. Its growth performance making Fallopia a potentially good second generation bioenergy crop.
