We present a discovery and observation of an extraordinarily bright prompt optical emission the GRB 060117 obtained by wide-field camera atop robotic telescope FRAM Pierre Auger Observatory from 2 to 10 minutes after GRB. found rapid average temporal flux decay alpha = -1.7 +- 0.1 peak brightness R 10.1 mag. Later observations other instruments set strong limit on radio transient fluxes, unveiling unexpectedly further decay. interpretation featuring relatively steep electron-distribution...
Abstract The role of evidence in policy-making is one the most researched topics public policy and administration. However, surprisingly little research has been done on how officials actually use everyday life practice. Moreover, these studies have limited to countries that influenced by evidence-based movement (EBP). Little known about conceptualized utilized other which not so strongly EBP movement. This paper addresses this gap. Using a large-N survey Czech ministerial in-depth...
RTS2, or Remote Telescope System, 2nd Version, is an integrated package for remote telescope control under the Linux operating system. It designed to run in fully autonomous mode, picking targets from a database table, storing image meta data database, processing images and their WCS coordinates offering Virtual-Observatory enabled access them. currently running on various setups world-wide. For of devices manufacturers we developed abstract device layer, enabling all possible combinations...
The High Energy Astrophysics group of the stellar department Astronomical Institute in Ondřejov operates two small aperture robotic telescopes called BART and D50. Both are capable making automatic followup observation gamma‐ray burst optical counterparts. This paper deals with smaller telescope BART.
Abstract This paper uses data from two countries to develop profiles of policy directors and managers in the sub‐national public bureaucracies Canada Czech Republic. Canadian undertake more analytically complex tasks for which research evaluation is necessary. In comparison, are firmly engaged project management agendas, tend rely on personal experience routine approaches. Overall, sample shows that different styles emphasized each country at levels ranging rational‐technical...
The East-Central European post-socialist transformations have now reached a new stage, with the need to address problems of further modernisation and maintenance in context EU.The role elites this process is as intermediators between influence needs interests differentiated internal social structures.Their attitudes behaviour exhibit high degree fragmentation division corresponding various strategical orientations favouring societal models.The Czech economic elite was initially reproduced...
The criminal prohibition of psychoactive substances is challenged every day as new designer emerge on globalized markets in a regulatory void. In case study recent amendment the Czech Republic, article reconstructs formulation recommendations by an advisory committee working at boundary between science and practical policy making. A uniform legal status was applied to both high-risk low-risk substances. demonstrates how expert efforts produce evidence-based advice were constrained externally...
Adopting a longitudinal approach, this article examines downward occupational mobility (DOM) later in working life and its effects on job satisfaction perceptions of conditions older workers Europe. The main aim was to test whether the risk that will be negatively impacted marginalized labor market due demotion into lower quality jobs is offset by benefits. Based an ordinal logistic regression merged Survey Health, Ageing Retirement Europe English Longitudinal Study datasets, study found...
Research in the intersections of literature, media, and psychology increasingly examines absorbing story experiences adult readers, typically relying on quantitative self-report questionnaires. Meanwhile, little work has been done to explore how being "lost a book" is experienced by children, despite phenomenon's importance for literacy education. Such requires tools that are more inductive child-centered than We have conducted Q methodology study with participants aged 9-12 (n = 28),...
The paper presents the results of a large-N enquiry into Czech Republic's ministries based on two specific types politicisation (functional, formal) and accounting for four work positions. yielded following findings: Functional ministerial middle lower management as well rank-and-file positions is predominantly low. However, politically motivated appointments promotions, executed through formal politicisation, pertain to high Overall, suggests that are moderately politicised, showing...
The article analyses perceptions of the nature and extent politicization by officials at eleven ministries Czech Republic. empirical part is based on a large-N inquiry among ministerial that were divided into four groups (directors section, directors department, heads division, rank-and-file officials) following their work position. From theory perspective, builds upon two types – formal functional with latter further subdivided hidden partisan politicization. Such theoretical assumptions...
This article discusses the formation and development of organizations political exiles from countries east-central south-east Europe in West, particularly U.S.A., during Cold War. The inclusion this topic a wider international context its comparative research is still fundamentally lacking. chief aim article, therefore, to provide basic factual overview, outline general preconditions leading comparison operation anti-communist exile movements. It representatives number individual national...
Astronomers often need to put several pieces of equipment together and have deploy them at a particular location. This task could prove be really tough challenge, especially for distant observing facilities with intricate operating conditions, poor communication infrastructure unreliable power source. To this even more complicated, they also expect secure reliable operation in both attended unattended mode, comfortable software user-friendly interface full supervision over the observation...
Abstract Policy design is influenced by stakeholders' attitudes and contextual constraints. While the latter factor highly variable, toward policy instruments are deemed more stable across both domains time. This article uses evidence from a cross‐sectional survey of Czech university students to examine autonomy instrument (APIA) in five domains. Only 16% endorse small set universal for wide range applications (so‐called instrumentalists) which indicates rather low cross‐domain consistency...
