Open biomass burning (OBB) is a major source releasing large quantities of gaseous and particulate pollutants into the atmosphere, with global, regional and local impacts on air quality, public health and climate (Andreae, 2019, Chen et al., 2017). OBB aerosols mainly consist of carbonaceous matter, and a considerable amount of inorganic salts, which present distinctly different optical properties (Chen et al., 2017, Reid et al., 2005). In this study, we investigate the influence of OBB during the traditional Burning of the Witches (BoW), referred to in Czech as “Pálení čarodějnic”, on the physico-chemical properties of atmospheric aerosols collected at the National Atmospheric Observatory Košetice (NAOK). The BoW is a centuries-old pagan tradition very popular in the Czech Republic. Today, it is celebrated during the night from April 30 to May 1 by lighting bonfires made of woodpiles with fake witches.

PM1 UNDER THE MICROSCOPE: MULTI-ANNUAL AEROSOL OPTICAL PROPERTIES AND SIZE DISTIRBUTION OBSERVATION AT PERI-URBAN ATMOSPHERIC SITE ATOLL
Suchánková, Lenka; Bourrianne, E.; De Fillipi, R.; De Brito, J. F.; Riffault, V.; Prokeš, Roman; Holoubek, Ivan; Ždímal, V.; Crumeyrolle, S.
2023 - English
Atmospheric aerosols (AA) belong to short-lived climate forcers with high spatial and temporal variability. Although the radiative effects of AA are greatest on regional scales, changes in aerosol emissions can induce long-term global climate effects (Szopa et al., 2021). Thus, the measurement of aerosol properties is essential for better understanding of aerosol’s impact on health and climate. Although several international projects and platforms have been monitoring AA properties worldwide (GAW, WMO, ACTRIS, EMEP, EUCAARI, etc., Pandolfi et al., 2018), only PM10 or PM2.5 cutoff sizes have been used for measurements, and information about PM1 particles is missing. \nThe aim of this study is to present aerosol scattering properties with supporting data of absorption and particle number size distribution in PM1 in years 2018-2022 at peri-urban atmospheric site “Atmospheric Observations in LiLLE (ATOLL) in Lille, France. This study is the first to present results dedicated to aerosol scattering properties at this site.

Optimization of the outflow regime in Římov reservoir from the point of view of water supply
Mercado, Ma. Cristina Paule; Hejzlar, Josef; Jarošík, Jiří; Porcal, Petr
2023 - English
The best management strategy for the Římov reservoir: (a) discharge from a depth of 3–5 m during the stratified season, (b) without support for SHP and with high reservoir filling, (c) reducing the phosphorus loading of the reservoir as much as possible. The impacts of climate change on water quality are significant, as inflow DOC and P concentrations here increase with temperature and flow variability. The effects of climate change can be mitigated by targeted management of the reservoir, but the quality of water inflow will still deteriorate further.

The Western Province of Zambia is one of the priority regions for Czech development cooperation. However, until now there has been a lack of comprehensive socio-ecological research carried out in this region, which would enable the actors of the Czech development cooperation to better work with the complex socio-ecological context within their projects. The research synthesis report presents in one place a comprehensive summary of the methodological approaches used and the results of their application. In this respect, the research synthesis report presents a unique perspective on socio-ecological linkages in the Western Province of Zambia. The research synthesis report also contains a simplified project methodology so that it can be used by Czech development actors themselves for planning and implementing development projects, if applicable. The research synthesis report also includes a summary of the main implications of the Coop4Wellbeing research for development practice, as well as a set of recommendations for Czech development donors. Západní provincie Zambie je jedním z prioritních regionů české rozvojové spolupráce.

The aim of the certified methodology is to provide updated principles of effective integrated Colorado potato beetle management for the agricultural practice resulting from new findings on biology and population genetics in the situation, when the range of effective insecticides has been reduced, pest resistance to insecticides has been increased and agro ecological conditions have been changed. Colorado potato beetle is a very serious insect pest of potatoes, highly mobile and able to quickly develop insecticide resistance. The methodology was drawn up based on the newest findings on the efficacy of existing insecticides registered against Colorado potato beetle, taking into account newly acquired knowledge in the field of pest resistance to active ingredients and a necessity of ever increasing multiple applications. Cílem certifikované metodiky je předat zemědělské praxi aktualizované zásady efektivní integrované ochrany proti mandelince bramborové vycházející z nových poznatků o biologii a genetice populací za situace zužujícího se sortimentu účinných přípravků, narůstající rezistence škůdce k insekticidům a měnících se agroekologických podmínek. Mandelinka bramborová je velmi závažným škůdcem brambor, který je vysoce mobilní a schopný rychlého vývoje rezistence vůči insekticidům. Metodika byla koncipována na základě nejnovějších poznatků o účinnosti stávajících insekticidů registrovaných proti mandelince bramborové s přihlédnutím k nově získaným poznatkům z oblasti rezistence tohoto škůdce k účinným látkám a k nutnosti stále více se rozšiřujících vícenásobných aplikací.

Pathways to a just landscape transformation
Nohlová, Barbora; Sagapová, Nikola; Harmáčková, Veronika Zuzana
2023 - Czech
The Just Scapes project was officially launched in 2020 and is a consortium of three countries (UK, France and Czech Republic) researching three types of landscape: the Scottish Highlands, the French rural landscape of the south-eastern Pyrenees and the Czech cultural landscape of southern and eastern Moravia. The project focuses primarily on the mechanisms and processes of equitable transformation and answers the following questions, crucial for the future: How are the impacts of climate change distributed? How are impacts and effects distributed?\nof landscape management and climate change policies? The research was based on the approach of the so-called ,,just transformation laboratories,, (T-labs). This approach is specifically tailored to foster collaborative solutions to complex societal problems. The research also included extensive field visits and engagement with relevant key actors. Numerous interviews and workshops were also conducted. This text is the result of a long-term research collaboration with key actors managing the landscape in five wine and agricultural regions of South and East Moravia. The research focused on mechanisms of equitable transformation. If the current state of the landscape leads to its vulnerability to the impacts of climate change, it is necessary to ask what changes are needed to increase its resilience. And this is exactly what the project has succeeded in defining. Projekt Just Scapes byl oficiálně spuštěn v roce 2020. Jedná se o konzorcium tří zemí (Velká Británie, Francie a Česká republika), které výzkumně působí ve třech typech krajiny: skotské vysočině, francouzské venkovské krajině jihovýchodních Pyrenejí a české, kulturní krajině jižní a východní Moravy. Projekt se zaměřuje především na mechanismy a procesy spravedlivé transformace a odpovědi na následující otázky, klíčové pro budoucnost: Jak jsou distribuovány dopady změny klimatu? Jak jsou rozděleny dopady a efekt\npolitik v oblasti managementu krajiny a změny klimatu? Výzkum byl založen na přístupu tzv. ,,laboratoří spravedlivé transformace,,(T-labs). Tento přístup je speciálně uzpůsobený k podpoře spolupráce při řešení složitých společenských problémů. Součástí výzkumu byly rovněž rozsáhlé pobyty v terénu a spolupráce s relevantními klíčovými aktéry. Také proběhly četné rozhovory a workshopy. Tento text vznikl na základě dlouhodobé výzkumné spolupráce s klíčovými aktéry spravujícími krajinu v pěti vinařských a zemědělských oblastech jižní a východní Moravy. Výzkum se zaměřil na mechanismy spravedlivé transformace. Pokud stávající stav krajiny vede k její zranitelnosti vůči dopadům klimatické změny, je nutné si položit otázku, jaké změny je potřebné provést, aby se zvýšila její odolnost. A přesně to se prostřednictvím projektu podařilo definovat.

Methodology for determining forgeries and copies of miniature paintings
Sondej, A.; Hradilová, J.; Hradil, David
2023 - Czech
The methodology describes the signs by which it is possible to distinguish between an original miniature portrait painting and other types of imitations, whether they were produced individually or in serial reproduction. For this classification, the methodology uses both routinely available tools (e.g. a magnifying glass or a stereomicroscope) as well as specialized imaging and analytical instruments, without the help of which accurate determination cannot be done. In all cases, these are non-invasive procedures that do not require any material removal from the painting. The analytical procedures used to determine the provenance of a work are in some cases completely new. Metodika popisuje znaky, pomocí kterých je možno rozlišovat mezi originální malbou miniaturního portrétu a dalšími typy napodobenin, ať už byly vyrobeny jednotlivě nebo jde o sériovou reprodukci. Pro tuto klasifikaci využívá metodika jak nástroje dostupné rutinně (např. lupa nebo stereomikroskop) tak i specializované zobrazovací a analytické přístroje, bez jejichž pomoci se přesné určení nemůže obejít. Ve všech případech se jedná o postupy neinvazivní, nevyžadující žádný odběr materiálu z malby. Analytické postupy využívané k určování původu díla jsou v některých případech zcela nové.
