Protection of Citizens against Terrorism

Téma mé bakalářské práce je Ochrana obyvatelstva před terorismem. V mé bakalářské práci jsem čerpal z domácích a zahraničních zdrojů za posledních deset let. V první části bakalářské práce se zabývám historií ochrany obyvatelstva před terorismem a následně jejím legislativním vymezením. Dále jsem se zabýval koncepcí ochrany obyvatelstva, ochranou obyvatelstva před terorismem a popsal jsem integrovaný záchranný systém jako nástroj ochrany obyvatelstva. V závěru jsem vypracoval vlastní scénář teroristických útoků. V praktické části jsem vypracoval vlastní návrh příručky ochrany obyvatelstva před terorismem.Theme of my bachelor´s thesis is protection of citizens against terrorism. I drew from domestic and foreign literary sources over the past ten years. In my bachelor´s thesis I deal with history protection of citizens against terrorism and I write about legislative, which limits terrorism The other parts are about conception of protection of citizens, protection of citizens against terrorism and I write about joint rescue service, which is implement of protection of citizens. In the end And in the end I got in some scenarios of terrorist attack I worked my own project of pocket manual in practise part. Its name is Protection citizens against terrorism.

The Individual and Society in the Middle Ages

Originally published in 1966. The Individual and Society in the Middle Ages, based on three guest lectures given at Johns Hopkins University in 1965, explores the place of the individual in medieval European society. Looking at legal sources and political ideology of the era, Ullmann concludes that, for most of the Middle Ages, the individual was defined as a subject rather than a citizen, but the modern concept of citizenship gradually supplanted the subject model from the late Middle Ages onward. Ullmann lays out the theological basis of the political theory that cast the medieval individual as an inferior, abstract subject. The individual citizen who emerged during the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance, by contrast, was an autonomous participant in affairs of state. Several intellectual trends made this humanistic conception of the individual possible, among them the rehabilitation of vernacular writing during the thirteenth century and the growing interest in nature, natural philosophy, and natural law. However, Ullmann points to feudalism as the single most important medieval institution that laid the groundwork for the emergence of the modern citizen

Determination of arsenic in fish by neutron activation analysis

The use of arsenicals to control aquatic vegetation has become widespread. A study was conducted to determine possible uptake of arsenic by fish in treated waters. Present methods for the analysis of arsenic (1,2) are reliable when applied to water and bottom samples which contain relatively small concentrations of organic matter. In the presence of larger concentrations, arsenic is lost during digestion. Recoveries of from 40-60 per cent were obtained when the method for the analysis of arsenic in food (2) was applied to fish flesh

The corporate social performance of developing country multinationals

In this article, we explore the Corporate Social Performance (CSP) of Developing Country Multinationals (DMNCs). We argue that in competing internationally, DMNCs often face both reputation and legitimacy deficits, which they address by improving their CSP. We develop a series of hypotheses to explain the variation in CSP between DMNCs and domestic-only firms from developing countries and also examine variations in CSP between DMNCs depending on the extent of their multinationality and portfolio of host countries. Our findings support all our hypotheses, which suggest that DMNCs display enhanced levels of CSP compared to their domestic-only counterparts. CSP is also found to be positively related to the DMNCs’ degree of multinationality, but with a declining incremental impact, whereas entry into developed markets leads to a greater improvement in DMNCs’ CSP than expansion into developing markets. We highlight the implications of our findings for managers and researchers

The Digital Fish Library: Using MRI to Digitize, Database, and Document the Morphological Diversity of Fish

Museum fish collections possess a wealth of anatomical and morphological data that are essential for documenting and understanding biodiversity. Obtaining access to specimens for research, however, is not always practical and frequently conflicts with the need to maintain the physical integrity of specimens and the collection as a whole. Non-invasive three-dimensional (3D) digital imaging therefore serves a critical role in facilitating the digitization of these specimens for anatomical and morphological analysis as well as facilitating an efficient method for online storage and sharing of this imaging data. Here we describe the development of the Digital Fish Library (DFL, http://www.digitalfishlibrary.org), an online digital archive of high-resolution, high-contrast, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of the soft tissue anatomy of an array of fishes preserved in the Marine Vertebrate Collection of Scripps Institution of Oceanography. We have imaged and uploaded MRI data for over 300 marine and freshwater species, developed a data archival and retrieval system with a web-based image analysis and visualization tool, and integrated these into the public DFL website to disseminate data and associated metadata freely over the web. We show that MRI is a rapid and powerful method for accurately depicting the in-situ soft-tissue anatomy of preserved fishes in sufficient detail for large-scale comparative digital morphology. However these 3D volumetric data require a sophisticated computational and archival infrastructure in order to be broadly accessible to researchers and educators
