Vertical Governance, National Regulation and Autonomy of Local Policy Making
2015
International audience; This chapter introduces a categorization of the 11 European countries according to their general vertical governance structures between national, regional and local levels in welfare policy making. It investigates the extent to which, and how, local policies and service provision are regulated and controlled from the national state level, and how much space this leaves for local policy actors in welfare policy formation. The analysis takes into account that local welfare policies are formulated in the context of national and to some extent international policies. The 11 countries can be divided into three groups, having a centralized (England, Ireland), multi-level (…
The Czech Case: From the Bohemian Slavophone Populus to Czech Nationalism and the Czechoslovak Nation
2009
Bohemia emerged as a separate polity after the Magyar conquest of Greater Moravia. The Frankish protection that extended to Bohemia attached this country to the empire, while Moravia became a province permanently linked to the Principality of Bohemia in the late 1020s. In 1079, Moravia was organized as a margraviate. Usually sons or younger brothers of the Bohemian princes reigned as margraves of Moravia, which emphasized the separateness of Moravia vis-a-vis Bohemia. A similar arrangement developed in Poland-Lithuania where sons or younger brothers of the King of Poland ruled in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (Třestik 1999: 140).
The Czech Nation: Between Czechoslovak and Czech Nationalism
2009
According to a popular saying, when Czechoslovakia was founded in 1918, it became an Austria-Hungary in miniature. This historian’s simile indicated that the nation-state of the Czechoslovaks displayed all the good and undesirable features of the Dual Monarchy. On the positive side, it was the only Central European polity where democracy survived throughout the interwar period. In general, the state was a welcoming home to three nations (the Czechs, Slovaks, and Ruthenians), and three sizeable minorities (Germans, Magyars, and Poles). The Czechoslovak economy (concentrated in the Czech lands, formerly Austria-Hungary’s most significant powerhouse) was the strongest in the region and enabled…
Multiple Social Identities in Relation to Self-Esteem of Adolescents in Post-communist Albania, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Kosovo, and Romania
2018
We test a model linking ethnic, familial, and religious identity to self-esteem among youth in Albania, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Kosovo, and Romania. All countries are post-communist nations in Europe, offering novel and underexplored settings to study identity. Participants were 880 adolescents (mean age, 15.93 years; SD, 1.40) with Albanian (n = 209), Bulgarian (n = 146), Czech (n = 306), Kosovan (n = 116), and Romanian (n = 103) background who filled in an Ethnic Identity Scale (Dimitrova et al., 2016), familial and religious identity scales adapted from the Utrecht Management of Identity Commitment Scales [U-MICS; Crocetti et al. Child and Youth Care Forum, 40, 7–23 (2011); Crocett…
Neurosurgical resident training in Czech Republic
2018
Introduction: Resident training is essential to be able and offer high-quality medical care. Neurosurgical training in its traditional form is currently challenged by law-enforced working hour restrictions and general re-structuring within Europe. We aimed to evaluate the current situation of resident training in the Czech Republic. Methods: An electronic survey was sent to European neurosurgical trainees between 06/2014 and 03/2015. The responses of Czech trainees were compared to those of trainees from other European countries. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess the effect size of the relationship between a trainee being from Czech Republic and the outcomes (e.g. satisfaction…

Niewolnik i władca przedmiotów : człowiek wobec rzeczy w prozie realistycznej
2020
Awans „rzeczy”, jaki nastąpił w literaturze doby realizmu, miał wiele przyczyn, między innymi naukowy światopogląd epoki i zainteresowanie materialnymi uwarunkowaniami egzystencji, rozszerzenie tematyki i werystyczną opisowość, obiektywizm i rzeczowość uszczegółowionej narracji. W rozległym kompleksie prozy realistycznej można przykładowo wyróżnić cztery sposoby czy modele funkcjonowania rzeczy: (1) rzecz w znaczeniu elementu boskiego i sensownego ładu świata, zgodnie jeszcze z tradycją metafizyczno-filozoficzną (np. przypadek biedermeierowskiej twórczości Adalberta Stiftera, gdzie „rzecz” jest terminem i pojęciem kluczowym, a pedantyczne katalogowanie przedmiotów swoistą obsesją narracji);…

The Role of Physicians' Digital Tools in Pharmacological Management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
2022
Background and Objectives: The constantly increasing prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and the advent of new treatment options have made management of T2DM patients more demanding. We aimed to (a) estimate the familiarity of general practitioners with novel T2DM treatment options, (b) determine whether a digital tool can aid in their treatment decisions and (c) demonstrate that an evidence-based digital clinical support tool can be made using an existing digital platform. Materials and methods: This proof-of-concept study consisted of two parts: We first conducted a simple online survey among general practitioners of three European countries to estimate their familiarity with no…
Prospective de la relation formation-emploi dans un territoire : Richesse des outils, cohérence de l'analyse et incohérence dans l'action
2005
05111; Cette contribution porte sur la prospective en matière de relation formation-emploi tant au niveau régional qu'européen : où en sommes-nous de la capacité de mobilisation de l'information économique et sociale ? Jusqu'à quel point le partage de l'information entre acteurs régionaux est-il possible ? Quel est le rôle des informations dans l'aide à la décision ? Quel est le rapport de la connaissance à l'action ? La réflexion s'appuie sur une comparaison des démarches prospectives mises en oeuvre dans le secteur de l'hôtellerie-restauration dans certaines régions de trois pays européens : la France, la Tchéquie et la Slovénie. Elle souligne la richesse de l'outil statistique existant p…
