The Role of Public Libraries in the Community Development

This bachelor thesis presents the basic facts about the community development role of public libraries. The theoretical part discusses the subject matter of community libraries in general terms, formulating its essential concepts and referring to the definitions and terms used. The public perception of community libraries, and the manner in which these libraries approach community mapping, development and sustainability are also dealt with. The thesis further describes the problems community libraries face, the target groups they work with as well as the vision they follow in this undertaking. The aim of this thesis is to present community libraries in a broader context, to show how libraries of today operate in an environment in which new perspectives can be found through sharing, solidarity and collaboration with local communities, and how they can function as fully-fledged cultural, educational and social institutions. Naturally, the transformation that modern libraries are undergoing is not only reflected in the quality of the services provided and the activities organized, but also in the variability of the use of public space, documents, resources and technologies. The thesis seeks to trace these community-friendly attributes of libraries using examples of good practice in selected Czech...Tato bakalářská práce předkládá základní fakta o komunitní roli veřejných knihoven v souvislosti s jejich úlohou v rozvoji místních komunit. Teoretická část se vyjadřuje k tématu komunitních knihoven v obecné rovině, formuluje základní údaje a odkazuje na definice a užívané pojmy. Zároveň popisuje, jakým způsobem společnost vnímá knihovny komunitního typu a jak ke komunitám, jejich mapování, rozvoji a udržitelnosti přistupují knihovny samotné - s jakými problémy se potýkají, s jakými cílovými skupinami pracují a jak vnímají v tomto směru svou budoucnost. Cílem této práce je uvést téma komunitních knihoven do širšího kontextu, poukázat na to, jak knihovny současnosti fungují v prostředí, v němž lze nalézt díky sdílení a soudržnosti s místními komunitami nové perspektivy a plnit funkci plnohodnotné kulturní, vzdělávací a společenské instituce. Je zřejmé, že proměna, jíž moderní knihovny prochází, je znatelná jak z hlediska poskytovaných služeb, kvality nabízených aktivit, tak variability využití veřejného prostoru, dokumentů, materiálů a technologií. Tyto kladné atributy knihoven ve vztahu ke komunitám se práce snaží zohlednit prostřednictvím příkladů dobré praxe vybraných českých knihoven a ohlédnutím na situaci v zahraničí. Záměr práce nabídnout vhled na možnosti komunitních aktivit v knihovnách je...Institute of Information Studies and LibrarianshipÚstav informačních studií a knihovnictvíFilozofická fakultaFaculty of Art

Microbial diversity of internal environment of Johann Gregor Mendel Station, Antarctica

During January and February 2011 two sets of microbiological samples were collected inside the main building of Johann Gregor Mendel station located at the James Ross Island near the coast of Antarctica. The aim was to examine the changes of microbial profile of the antarctic station environment. The first set of samples was collected from the station environment before the staff entry, i.e. after 10 months of quiescent state when nobody was present at the station. The second set of samples was collected from the same places before the Antarctic expedition staff left the station after 45 days of the stay. The cultivation of samples was focused on mesophilic bacteria. Twenty-three strains were obtained from the Set No. 1 and 27 strains were obtained from the Set No. 2. However, 8 strains from each set were not reliably identified by mass spectrometry. Altogether 13 strains of Gram-positive bacteria were identified in the Set. No. 1, while only 7 in the Set No. 2. Contrastingly, Gram-negative bacteria were much more abundant in the Set No. 2 (12 strains) than in the Set No. 1 (2 strains). Bacillus sp. was the most common Gram-positive strain (9 isolations from the first set, 2 isolations from the second set). Pantoea agglomerans was the most common Gram-negative strain (2 isolations from the first set, 7 isolations from the second set). The first experience with the microbial profile of the research station showed that we were able to detect mainly bacteria commonly present in the outer environment that could survive under extreme conditions. We did not isolate any microbes related to human colonisation except of enterococci and Escherichia vulneris. For further investigation of the station environment, it will be necessary to choose alternative way of collection and storage of samples to ensure survival of all present bacteria

Netradiční ovocné dřeviny a jejich ochrana

Malfunctions, lesions and diseases on uncommon fruit trees was observed in the ŠZP Žabčice from April to October 2013. As the most important bacterial disease has been detected fire blight of the quince. Several sea-buckthorns died from multifactorial causes. There was incidence of powdery mildew and brown leaf spot on the Amelanchier, varieties of the A. alnifolia were more affected by leaf spot, while the varieties of the A. lamarckii had a significantly higher incidence of powdery mildew. On the rowan there was recorded scab and viral infection on the few trees. The minimum symptoms of diseases occurred on the dogwood, mulberry and rose. No symptoms of diseases were observed on medlar, but it was affected by chlorosis. Principles for the protection is correct agrotechnik and regular removal of infected and damaged parts of the trees. Chemical protection is needed for a quince and a juneberry. Keywords: dogwood, rowan, quince, medlar, mulberry, juneberry (Amelanchier), sea-buckthorn, Rosa villosa, fire blight, powdery mildew
