Subject:

Language:

Description:
The paper presents an analysis of the possibilities of using a data set of Sentinel-1 (S-1) Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) for urban monitoring. The study was conducted in the Olsztyn area, where by using the PSI (Persistent Scatterer InSAR) method the amount of deformation was determined, calculated using a multi-time SAR data series. Displacement values were estimated by reducing error sources related to temporal and geometrical decorrelation and atmospheric phase delay. Based on the defined assumptions, three calculation cases were prepared. This processing is based on the data from more than 648 Sentinel-1A/B images over ascending and descending orbits acquired between October 2014 and August 2018 to determine the value of the Line of Sight (LOS) ground deformation rates. Regular acquisition of SAR images from the Sentinel-1 satellite sensor in an interval of 2 days enabled the detection of more than 1000 PSI points per 1 km2 in the 10 × 10 km2 urban area. The mean LOS velocity of surface change was determined on the basis of four large data sets. and Comparable values were obtained from ascending tracks 29, 102 and descending tracks 51, 124 where mean velocity ranges respectively: A29 from -4.3 to 3.4 mm/yr, A102 from -3.9 to 3.5 mm/yr and D51 from -3.9 to 3.1 mm/yr, D124 from -3.8 to 3.2 mm/yr. Then the results of geometries were combined in pairs to compute the actual vertical motion component. In the presented work, an analysis of the terrain deformation was performed for selected characteristic objects located within the Olsztyn area. In the first case study, a detailed analysis of urban infrastructure facilities was carried out, including buildings and a section of the railway line. The other case study covers an area along the river bank. A large number of observations allowed to accurately determine the deformation model and to produce the history of deformations on the tested area, based on the analysis of time series of interferograms. The paper presents solutions using InSAR data in urban monitoring and shows why this technology is a useful tool for studying measuring urban subsidence. The results are displayed in the form of a deformation map showing the magnitude of the measured movement.

4. Human rights between political identity and historical category: Czechoslovakia and East Central Europe in a global context

Creator:
Kopeček, Michal
Format:
bez média and svazek
Type:
model:article and TEXT
Subject:
global historical development and historiography
Language:
English
Description:
The essay deals with the global historical development of the human rights doctrine and its role in modern politics from a Czech, Czechoslovak and East-Central European point of view. It draws on recent revisionist historiography of human rights the main characteristic of which, described at the beginning of the essay, is the reconstruction of the human rights doctrine as an epiphenomenon of major historical political conflicts. Then, the author turns to the comeback of human rights as a universalistic concept during the Second World War and the Allied struggle against Nazism. He continues with tracing down the general development during the Cold War leading to the promotion of human rights as a part of binding international law since the mid-1970s. Further, the Czechoslovak postwar situation is analysed starting with the Stalinist Constitution of 1948 up to the dissident struggle for human and civil rights during the last two decades of the communist dictatorship. The last part of the essay examines the rise of liberal internationalism and humanitarian interventionism in the post-1989 period and strives to specify the Czechoslovak and Czech development within a broader context, fi nishing with a plea for understanding human rights as a space for political deliberation, dialogue and contest.

5. Lazarsfeldova analýza zdůvodnění (reason analysis): metoda pro 21. století

Description:
Reason analysis is a long neglected method of data collection and analysis. This article describes the method and shows some fields of practical application. The methods and principles of reason analysis were first expounded by Lazarsfeld (1935). Reason analysis explores how respondents answer “why” questions during survey interviews. Typically, respondents are asked a simple question inquiring about the reasons that led them to make a specific decision or action. Data obtained in this way are often used to construct a simple classification of respondents. In reality, respondents often have many reasons for making a particular decision, but usually only mention one to an interviewer. Reason analysis contends that responses to ‘why’ questions are a combination of some or all reasons used by the respondent to formulate an answer to an interviewers’ question. Consequently, reason analysis constructs a “tree” of questions and an “accounting scheme” or model of the decision or action being studied. Using this framework, responses are grouped into classes and types according to their (dis)similarity. With the development of software tools it is now easy to estimate reason analysis models of survey response. One key advantage of reason analysis is that it facilitates developing a deeper understanding of the latent structure of groups; and hence allows a more precise estimation of individual level effects in studies of decision-making. As the demand for “structural estimation” models of decision making and action increase, it is likely the reason analysis will become a more influential methodological approach in the 21st century., Hynek Jeřábek., and Obsahuje bibliografii a bibliografické odkazy
