The deformation measurements are performed for the purpose of obtaining information concerning ground movement and objects on the ground within given time intervals. For the purpose of improving conventional models of deformation analysis (CDA) it is desirable to use several different methods and also implement alternative proce dures as a further improvement, such as the concept of robust geodetic networks and strain analysis, aimed at obtaining objective information about the movements. In the present paper, in addition to the CDA methods, we also analyze the robust methods in deformation detecting and the method of the strain analysis based on elasticity theory as a supplement to the conventional geometric deformation methods (CDA). The mentioned methods are applied and analysed for the case of a test example of Fruška Gora in Serbia, for which there exist geological and geophysical studies of recent tectonic movements. The measuring results for two measuring epochs concern the GNSS vectors measured by applying the fast static method within closed polygons over a ten-year interval, where only the horizontal movement component is analysed. The efficiency of the applied CDA and robust methods is measured by applying a mean success rate (MSR) by applying Monte Carlo simulations in order to investigate the efficiency of a given methods for a given control network., Zoran Sušić, Mehmed Batilović, Toša Ninkov, Vladimir Bulatović, Ivan Aleksić and Gojko Nikolić., and Obsahuje bibliografické odkazy
This paper works with data provided by the Czech National Corpus to consider the use of nepřizpůsobivý (inadaptable) by the Czech mainstream print media as a code word that is widely understood to signify a Roma citizen. The study shows that nepřizpůsobivý is used far more frequently in journalism than in other text genres and that its use has increased over the past decade. Examination of collocations reveals that nepřizpůsobivý typically is associated with negative reports on housing, residency and crime. This paper can also be seen as a case study to illustrate the usefulness of corpus data to critical discourse analysis and the role of the corpus in providing quantitative support to qualitative research in general. and Článek založený na datech z Českého národního korpusu zkoumá užívání slova nepřizpůsobivý v hlavních českých denících. Nepřizpůsobivý je ve skutečnosti užíváno jako zástupné slovo pro Romy / romskou populaci. Výzkum ukazuje, že toto slovo se používá daleko častěji v rámci publicistiky než v jiných typech textů a že jeho frekvence v posledních deseti letech výrazně stoupla. Kolokační analýza odhaluje, že slovo nepřizpů-sobivý se typicky vyskytuje v negativních kontextech v novinových článcích o bytech a bydlení obecně, o soužití občanů a o kriminalitě. Tento článek může být nahlížen i jako případová studie, která je příkladem využití korpusových dat v kritické analýze diskurzu a zároveň dokládá roli korpusu v poskytování kvantitativní opory v rámci kvalitativního lingvistického výzkumu.
This article focuses on welfare surveillance as a sociological sub-discipline and a specific issue that has emerged in the past two decades in relation to the neoliberal revolution and the transformation of social systems in the West. The paper has three main goals: (1) a theoretical conceptualisation of welfare surveillance based on an analysis of existing empirical research; (2) an analysis of socio-practical manifestations and impacts of welfare surveillance; and (3) a contextualisation of the implementation of welfare surveillance within the Czech social milieu during recent social reforms. Within the scope of the first two goals, the author shows that welfare surveillance is theoretically construed along the lines of a specific combination of social justice and neoliberal governmentality, and that welfare surveillance enables the application of specific illiberal practices to welfare applicants and recipients in order to effectively discipline and normalise them, which results in the stigmatisation and criminalisation of recipients. Given that there is relatively little research on surveillance in the Czech Republic, the article opens with an introduction to the issue of surveillance.
