Dielo Jána Kollára zohralo svojho času významnú úlohu. Vysoko sa hodnotí Kollárova poézia, ale zaznávajú sa jeho vedecké práce. Jednou z vedecky kontroverzných otázok, o ktorej sa v kollárovskom výskume nehovorí, je Kollárova teória o pôvode Slovanov z Indie. V Slávy dcere sa Kollár o Indii zmieňuje ako o pravlasti Slovanov. Takéto vysvetlenie podal aj v dnes už prakticky zabudnutom spise Sláwa Bohyně a původ gména Slawůw čili Slawjanův (1839). Cieľom príspevku je preskúmať tento spis, poukázať na jeho miesto v dobovom diskurze o pôvode Slovanov, ako aj na jeho relevantnosť pre pochopenie Slávy dcery. and The works of Ján Kollár played an important role in its time. His poetry is held in high esteem but his scholarly work is ignored. One of his scholarly controversial issues which is absent from the Kollár research is Kollár's theory of the origins of the Slavs from India. In Slávy dcéra (The Daughter of Sláva) he mentions India as the homeland of the Slavs. He propounded this explanation also in the now almost forgotten treatise Sláwa Bohyně a původ gména Slawůw čili Slawjanův (The Glory of the Goddess and the Origin of the Name of the Slavs or Slavyans, 1839). The paper aims at exploring this treatise, showing its place in the contemporary discourse on the origins of the Slavs as well as its relevance for the understanding of Slávy dcéra.
A new nematode, Dichelyne alatae sp. n., is described on the basis of the worms recovered from the intestine of the whiting, Sillaginopsis panijus (Perciformes: Sillaginidae) from the estuary of the river Hooghly at Kalyani, West Bengal, India. Dichelyne alatae differs from congeners in having a small body size, deirids posterior to the oesophagus, short and wide caudal alae at the level of cloacal opening, unequal, alate spicules, a shield-shaped gubemaculum, a different number of caudal papillae and a conical tail with spines in its distal region.
The paper deals with the different ways in which 20th century Hindi writers introduced the theme of religion into their work. A selection of authors has been made in order to highlight some important issues connected with religion. As may be expected, basically two points of view are to be found, depending on the ideological stand of the writer – either politically committed or committed to man. Thus, whilst religion is deemed by one author to be a factor which divides communities, it is considered by another to be an important tool for exploring the human soul.
In July 2015, the 46th International Physics Olympiad was held in Mumbai, the capital city of the Indian state, Maharashtra. Members of the Czech team obtained three silver medals and two bronze medals. In addition, the Slovak team won one silver and three bronze medals. In this article a theoretical task set during the competition is presented, which deals with calculations of a nuclear fission reactor. and Filip Studnička, Jan Kříž, Ľubomír Konrád, Bohumil Vybíral.
Jednou, krátce před půlnocí, tížen příslibem redakci Československého časopisu pro fyziku, nechávám běžné práce, otevřu Word a po nadpisu mě napadne podívat se do kalendáře: opravdu, za chvíli začíná 19. říjen 2010. Právě před 100 lety, 19-10-1910 (tak sám rád psal), se narodil Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar, velká postava vědy 20. století, jeden z nejuniverzálnějších astrofyziků, nositel Nobelovy ceny za fyzku v roce 1983, ve vědeckých kruzích známý jako Chandra. O fyzikálním a astronomickém významu jeho Nobelovy ceny, kterou získal společně s W. A. Fowlerem, jsem již v tomto časopisu psal [1]. V následujícím se chci více zaměřit na události a postavy v okolí jeho světočáry; přitom čerpám především z podrobné biografie [2]. Na závěr připojím několik osobních vzpomínek na interakci s ním, nebudu však již opakovat ty, které jsou uvedeny v článku psaném před 27 lety., Jiří Bičák., and Obsahuje bibliografii
Faecal examination of the long nosed vine snake Ahaetulla nasuta Lacépède, 1789 revealed two species of caryosporan coccidia. The morphology of one species fits well with a description of Caryospora ahaetullae Modrý et Koudela, 1994, the second is a previously undescribed species. Oocysts of Caryospora veselyi sp. n. were spherical, 18.9 (16.5-21.5) pm in diameter, with pitted and brownish oocyst wall about 1.5 pm thick. An irregular polar granule about 2,0 x 1.0 pm was observed in 35% of the oocysts examined. Sporocysts were octozoic, ovoidal to ellipsoidal, 13.7 (13.0-15.5) x 10.3 (9.0-11.0) pm with a shape index 1.3 (1.2-1.4). Stieda and substieda bodies were present. Sporocyst residuum was present as small granules of irregular size scattered among sporozoiles. Both species sporulated within 72 hours. The infected snake did not show clinical signs of disease.
The morphology, physiology, behaviour and ecology of spiralling whitefly, Aleurodicus dispersus Russell (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) on different host plants differ greatly. The genetic differences between the A. dispersus populations on 17 host plants were evaluated in the current study. Microsatellite markers were used to identify the presence of host-related genetic variation among A. dispersus populations. Our research clearly shows that there is a significant amount of genetic divergence among the A. dispersus populations on 17 host plants in India. The spiralling whitefly on acalypha and calotropis were genetically more distinct than whiteflies on other host plants. Various population genetic parameters, like heterozygosity, Nei's genetic distance, fixation indices (FST), source of genetic variation in AMOVA, etc. indicate that populations of spiralling whiteflies differ greatly genetically, probably because the spiralling whitefly populations on the Indian sub-continent came from multiple sources. The results of this study have implications for the quarantine protection strategy against this invasive pest.
The early 20th century found both the Czech and the Indian society undergoing a transition which in many respects bore similar characteristics. Both the Indian and the Czech people were striving to achieve independence and both were looking beyond the borders of their countries to find encouragement and support for their cause. The people of the Czech nation, who had already sought self–determination for quite a long period of time, looked with sympathy on the similar struggle of the Indian people. The newly formed Czechoslovakia was now able to create new economic, cultural and social contacts and (later) political relations. The growing interest in India was most apparent in the Department of Indian Studies of the Charles University, in the Oriental Institute (Prague) established in 1922 and in the Indian Society launched at the Oriental Institute in 1934. The Czech scholars who focused on Indian studies, namely Vincenc Lesný, Otakar Pertold and Moriz Winternitz, among others, spent long periods of time in India, where they made contacts with leading Indian scholars, artists and national leaders. Some Indians who visited Czechoslovakia (Subhas Chandra Bose, Rabindranath Tagore and Jawaharlal Nehru etc.) developed deep sympathy and friendship towards Czechoslovakia and her people, which they especially expressed during the Munich crisis (1938) and in the following years.
The interest of the educated Czech public in India during the first phase of the Czech national revivalist movement spanning the first four decades of the 19th century was formed almost exclusively by leading personalities of this movement and the selection of themes connected with Indian civilization was largely subordinated to its ideological program. The predominantly linguistic and literary character of Czech emancipatory efforts directed the attention of leading Czech intellectuals towards the study of Sanskrit as a prestigious language of great antiquity and historical relationship to Slavic languages. Important topics during this phase of the movement included debates on the nature of Czech verse and metrics (with imitations of Indian meters), national “characterology,” comparative mythology and literary aesthetics. Selection of examples of alleged Indian parallels was subordinated to the perceived needs of national ideology with a relatively weaker link to actual facts and their original context. In this early stage the more “down-to-earth” motives of political advantage or economic gain were absent. From the 1840s the focus of attention gradually shifted from this naive and narrowly pragmatic comparatistic stage to a more informed and less biased interest in the classical Indian culture as potential source of universal human values and aspirations. Still, several early stereotypes persisted well into the twentieth century.
