This paper is a case study on the development of the political representation in the first decades of the communist regime in the Bludov municipality in North Moravia. It wants to analyze the personal aspect of the lowest level of governance on a particular case. The main question here is to what extent the local political representation after 1948 stood on new people, and to what extent it was based on the first-republican cadres of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia or whether it was drawn from politicians who had pre-communist political experience. We will also be interested in the social profile of the ruling class. Tento příspěvek je případovou studií vývoje politické reprezentace v prvních desetiletích komunistického režimu v severomoravské obci Bludov. Nečiní si generalizující ambice – chce na konkrétním případu analyzovat personální aspekt nejnižší úrovně vládnutí. Hlavní otázkou přitom je, do jaké míry stála místní politická reprezentace po roce 1948 na nových lidech, do jaké míry vycházela z prvorepublikových kádrových základů Komunistické strany Československa či zda čerpala z politiků, kteří měli předkomunistickou politickou zkušenost. Zajímat nás bude i sociální profil vládnoucích.

The subject of the lecture was the form of Fantasy in G minor for violin and orchestra by Josef Suk, above all. The analysis for students was presented using sheet music and audio samples. At the end, there were presented several interesting harmonic phenomena in Suk's later works, particularly in A Summer's Tale. Tématem přednášky byla především analýza formy Fantazie g moll pro housle a orchestr Josefa Suka. Analýza byla studentům prezentována s použitím notových a zvukových ukázek. Na závěr bylo prezentováno několik zajímavých harmonických jevů v Sukově pozdější tvorbě, zvláště v Pohádce léta.

Low literacy and schooling rates are a significant factor among adults in the recent migration towards Europe. Furthermore, migrants experience social marginalisation and spatial segregation in the new countries and, hence, they are low-exposed to the target language. Research on interlanguages development in such sociolinguistic contexts is still peripheral. Within the little existing research, there is consensus that adult learners with none/limited literacy acquire L2 linguistic competence more slowly compared with educated adults, but there are divided views on the relationship between L1(s) literacy and L2 acquisition (Tarone et al. 2009; Vainikka et al. 2017; Young-Scholten and Strom 2006). Slow acquisition, in fact, may result from limited literacy or from other factors deriving from literacy, e.g. low exposure to the target language and no access to written texts. Whether and how these sociolinguistic variables influence L2 acquisition (and, if so, what their respective impact is) still need to be verified. Against this background, a longitudinal study was carried out at the University of Palermo, Italy, in 2017-2019, involving 20 adult migrants from sub-Saharan Africa and Bangladesh. Half of them had little/no literacy prior to arrival. The data collected over 13 months, through interviews and narrative tasks, were analysed from a functionalist perspective inspired by the basic variety model (Klein and Perdue 1997; Giacalone Ramat 2003). Data analysis, focused on the acquisition of L2 tense, aspect and modality, brought to light a general low development of the participants’ interlanguages, which barely reach the early stages of the post-basic continuum. This results from the common scenario of very low exposure to the target language, while learners’ degree of literacy does not appear to play a role, as literate and low/non-literate learners follow the same path of morphosyntax acquisition. However, literacy acts in a subtler way, favouring the development of specific morphosyntactic sub-patterns. This involves the analytical phase that precedes the morphological encoding of verbal categories in the transition from basic to post-basic varieties. At this stage, grammatical and lexical information are encoded separately, possibly by means of non-target constructions in which they are distributed among the diverse constituents (Benazzo 2003; Benazzo and Starren 2007; Starren 2001). Some of these have already been described for L2 Italian, e.g. auxiliary constructions (non è:be.3SG credere:INF ‘he does not believe’, Bernini 2003). Others have escaped the attention of specialists, e.g. the light verb construction (fare:INF mangiare:INF ‘I eat’). Non-target constructions are temporary grammaticalisation strategies to cover the functional space of forms (bound morphemes) not yet acquired. Non-target constructions especially occur in learners with limited literacy, while literate learners use them in a more sporadic and transient way. This can be interpreted as an effect of reduced exposure to the input as a consequence of limited literacy. As learners with limited literacy are exposed exclusively to oral input, they struggle in identifying bound morphemes in the input, due to the low salience, redundancy and frequent reduction phenomena these formatives undergo in spontaneous speech. This leads them to favour and maintain “heavier” constructions, made of material more easily perceived in the input.

The paper is devoted to the topic of economic crises. It confronts various theoretical opinions on the possibility / necessity of the onset of the economic crisis. It also presents the opinions of business practice on the possibilities of crisis management in the economy. It also touches on the potential for economic cybernetics to tackle or avert economic crises. Popularizační příspěvek je věnovám tématu ekonomických krizí. Konfrontuje různá teoretická stanoviska k možnosti/nutnosti nástupu ekonomické krize. Uvádí též stanoviska podnikové praxe k možnostem krizového řízení v ekonomice. Dotýká se i potenciálních možností ekonomické kybernetiky řešit a nebo odvracet ekonomické krize.

Webinář představuje zákadní dílčí oblasti konceptu library advocacy a možnosti jeho využití ve vysokoškolských knihovnách. Věnuje se představení principů celého konceptu a dále jeho rozdělení na praxi library advocacy od knihovny samotné a od jejich stakeholderů. Dále je prostor věnován hodnotám, které vysokoškolská knihovna vytváří. Následují ukázky kampaní ze zahraničních knihoven v souladu s dobrou praxí library advocacy.

In this presentation, we introduce a new approach to analyzing network traffic data using associations. In the beginning, we discuss the benefits and issues of currently used analysis tools. Next, we propose a new data representation model and utilization of a graph database to store such data. In the main part of the presentation, we introduce the Granef toolkit and its use for incident investigation.

Predictive analysis allows next-generation cyber defense that is more proactive than current approaches based solely on intrusion detection. In this talk, we will discuss various approaches to predicting and projecting cyber attacks. Graph-based models are dominating the field since the foundation of this research area. Attack graphs were used to traverse through the attacker’s actions and project the continuation of an ongoing attack. Later, attack graphs were combined with Bayesian networks and Markov models to reflect the probabilistic nature of predictions and overcome uncertainties in observation of attack steps. However, there are still open issues, such as how to create such models and evaluate the predictions. The talk will shed light on using graphs in this research area and summarize resolved and open issues.

The lecture provided information on the region of Latgale (south-eastern part of the present days Latvia) and focuses on its territorial changes from middle-ages until now, as well as on the earliest historical records about Latgale and its linguistic and cultural distinctiveness in the scope of the Baltic region. Přednáška mapuje historické, etnické a lingvistické postavení Latgalska (regionu v jihovýchodní části Lotyšské republiky) v rámci širšího baltského kontextu: jsou vysvětleny změny geografické rozlohy Latgalska, zachycení regionu v historických pramenech, jazyková specifika a kulturní svéráznost.
