Postava baronky Sidonie Nádherné (1885–1950), mecenášky umění a přítelkyně literátů Karla Krause a Rainera Marii Rilka, jež byla spjata se zámkem ve Vrchotových Janovicích, vzbuzovala sice zájem literárních badatelů a historiků, donedávna však zůstávala ve stínu zejména obou slavných mužů. Spisovatelka a publicistka Alena Wagnerová podle recenzentky přináší nový pohled v tom, že žánr kulturněhistorické biografie propojuje s přístupem umírněného feminismu a svou hrdinku činí vskutku hlavním objektem zájmu. Její kniha, původně vydaná německy pod titulem Das Leben der Sidonie Nádherný: Eine Biographie (Hamburg 2003), je zároveň sondou do života společnosti, když prostřednictvím životního příběhu Sidonie Nádherné zachycuje dobové tendence, tužby a souvislosti., Sidonie Nádherná (1885–1950), a baroness and patroness of the arts and a love interest of the great writers Karl Kraus and Rainer Maria Rilke, has been closely linked to the manor house in Vrchotovy Janovice (Janowitz), central Bohemia. Though she has attracted the interest of scholars of literature and historians, she has until recently remained in the shadow of her two famous admirers. In the work under review (the Czech translation of Das Leben der Sidonie Nádherný. Eine Biographie, Hamburg, 2003), the writer Alena Wagnerová provides, according to the reviewer, a new view, combining the genre of cultural-historical biography with moderate feminism, truly making her protagonist the centre of interest. Her book is also a probe into a society, and by means of the life story of Sidonie Nádherná she depicts the trends, hopes, and context of the period., and [autor recenze] Milena Lenderová.
The eye nematode Thelazia callipaeda Railliet et Henry, 1910 (Spirurida: Thelaziidae) is a vector-borne zoonotic nematode infecting a range of wild and domestic carnivores as well as humans. It is considered to be a causative agent of emerging and neglected disease and currently invades central part of Europe. Nematodes were collected from the eye of a dog living in Prague, which never travelled outside the Czech Republic. The nematodes were identified based on their morphology and partial sequence of the cox1 gene as T. callipaeda haplotype 1. This finding represents the northernmost record of autochthonous canine thelaziosis in Europe. The insufficient control of imported animals as well as free movement of dogs and wild carnivores within Europe probably facilitates spreading of T. callipaeda throughout the continent. To better understand the spreading of T. callipaeda and to prevent its zoonotic transmissions, information about the risk of this infection in newly invaded countries should be disseminated not only among veterinarians and physicians, but also within the community of pet owners and hunters., Milan Jirků, Roman Kuchta, Elena Gricaj, David Modrý and Kateřina Jirků Pomajbíková., and Obsahuje bibliografii
