Autorka v této přehledové stati představuje relativně nový společenskovědní obor Human-Animal Studies se zaměřením na jeho sociologickou dimenzi. Cílem článku není podrobná kompilace existujících publikací na toto téma, ale syntéza klíčových myšlenek, které stojí v základu sociologického chápání Human-Animal Studies, včetně odkazů na zásadní díla a vybrané webové portály, kde mohou zájemci najít podrobnější informace. Autorka představuje základní východiska a teoretické předpoklady tohoto oboru a zasazuje jej do širšího interdisciplinárního rámce. Poukazuje na různorodost přístupů jak z hlediska teoretického, tak metodologického. Poskytuje základní přehled historického vývoje tohoto oboru a jeho postupného etablování v rámci odborných center, univerzit i vědeckých časopisů. Autorka rovněž přibližuje vybraná témata, kterými se tento komplexní obor dnes zabývá, a v závěru nastiňuje jeho možnou budoucí perspektivu., The author of this review article introduces the relatively new social science field of human-animal studies, focusing on its sociological dimension. Her aim is not a particularized compilation of existing publications on the topic, but a synthesis of the key ideas behind the sociological perspective on human-animal studies. The author includes references to crucial works and selected web portals where one can find more detailed information. She introduces the fundamental premises and theoretic assumptions of the field and contextualizes it in a wider interdisciplinary framework. She presents a variety of theoretical and methodological approaches. She provides an elementary outline of the historical development of this field and its successive establishment within academic centres, universities and scientific journals. The author also introduces selected topics which this complex field examines today and, finally, outlines its possible future prospects., Tereza Vandrovcová., and Seznam literatury
The secondary and post-secondary schools that provided essential education to just a small percentage of the male population in the first half of the 19th century played an irreplaceable role in the formation of the future elites in early modem society in the Czech lands. The Bishop’s Seminary (founded in 1804), the Philosophy Lyceum (1803) and the Piaristické Gymnasium (1762), operating simultaneously, became a strong attraction for young people from České Budějovice, where the schools were located, and from all of Southern Bohemia and the surrounding areas, who were longing for a higher education. A study of records from chronicles, annual reports, and the study catalogues of these schools made it possible to obtain a better understanding of their significance for the life of the town and this Southern Bohemian region. Between 1800 and 1848, 4909 boys studied at the gymnasium, most of whom were from families of tradesmen and architects, and there was also a large proportion of boys from families of teachers. The school’s catchment area took in České Budějovice, Southern and Southwest Bohemia, and the proportion of students from the rest of Bohemia, Austria, Moravia, and Silesia was much lower. Information on the Philosophy Lyceum provides a very similar picture. Between 1803 and 1846, 2556 students enrolled in the first year of study. In terms of their socio-professional composition the majority of lyceum students were from tradesmen and agricultural families, and from families of public officials and teachers. The lyceum’s catchment area was very similar to that of the gymnasium. The social and territorial composition of the theology students (1618 in total) was very similar to that of the Philosophy Lyceum, which was also from where it received the most students.
To investigate how bisulfite promotes photosynthesis, a pot experiment was conducted with rice (Oryza sativa L.) plants to determine Rubisco activity and content, and Rubisco activase (RCA) gene expression after spraying NaHSO3 on rice leaves. The NaHSO3 treatment promoted significantly net photosynthetic rate (PN), carboxylation efficiency, maximum carboxylation rate, ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate regeneration rate, initial Rubisco activity, and RCA protein and mRNA concentrations. Therefore, the NaHSO3 enhancement of PN could be directly attributed to induction of RCA gene expression both at the transcription and translation levels. Thus, the increased RCA regulated the initial Rubisco activity in vivo., Y. Chen, J.-H. Jin, Q.-S. Jiang, C.-L. Yu, J. Chen, L.-G Xu, D.-A. Jiang., and Obsahuje bibliografii
In order to achieve a short regulation cycle, time-optimal control has been considered in the past. However, the sensitivity to errors and uncertainties, and implementation difficulties in the practical systems, have incited other research directions to meet this objective. In this paper, soft Variable Structure Control (VSC) is analyzed from the perspective of linear time-delay systems with input constraint. The desired fast convergence under a smoothly varying control signal is obtained. The stability issues originating from the non-negligible delay are addressed explicitly by incorporating a dead-time compensator, applicable to both structurally stable and unstable plants. The properties of the obtained dynamic soft VSC system are demonstrated analytically and compared with the linear and saturating control structures.
