Belief in the Internet and Critical Thinking
Krejčí, Aleš
2011 - anglický
Současná mladá generace zcela rutinně používá internet jako snadno a rychle dostupný zdroj informací, zábavy a komunikace. Každodennost vytváří víru v aktuálnost a kvalitu získaných informací. Pohodlná práce s klíčovými slovy a vyhledávači tuto víru dále posiluje, přestože se mnohdy jedná o zastaralé informace nebo pochybné zdroje. Slepou vírou v internet jsou infikováni i někteří studenti vysokých škol, dokonce i ve vyšších ročnících, kde bychom měli očekávat a vyžadovat výraznou míru analytického myšlení a kritického přístupu. Tím více to platí o studentech marketingové komunikace, kteří si musejí osvojit mnohem hlubší pohled na formy a mechanismy fungování mediálního a informačního prostředí. Autor na výsledcích výzkumu mezi studenty tohoto zaměření ukazuje, že ani zde není situace ideální. Pedagogové musejí vychovávat samostatně a kriticky myslící absolventy, ať už budoucí rozvoj informačních technologií přinese cokoliv. The present-day young generation routinely use the Internet as readily available source of facts, entertainment and communication. Everyday life creates a belief in the acquired information, its freshness and quality. Comfortable working with keywords and search engines further strengthens this belief, although the information may be outdated and the sources questionable. The blind faith in the Internet infected some university students, even in higher classes, where we should expect and require a significant degree of analytical thinking and critical approach. The more it applies to marketing communication students who need to acquire much deeper insight at the forms and mechanisms of media and information environment. The author shows by the results his research that even among students of this branch the situation is far from ideal. Lecturers need to educate independently and critically thinking graduates, whether the development of information technologies will bring anything.

Understanding Formal Description of Pitch-Based Input
Poláček, Ondřej; Míkovec, Zdeněk
2010 - anglický
The pitch-based input (humming, whistling, singing) in acoustic modality has already been studied in several projects. There is also a formal description of the pitch-based input which can be used by designers to define user control of an application. However, as we discuss in this paper, the formal description can contain semantic errors. The aim of this paper is to validate the formal description with designers. We present a tool that is capable of visualizing vocal commands and detecting semantic errors automatically. We have conducted a user study that brings preliminary results on comprehension of the formal description by designers and ability to identify and remove syntactic errors.

Peculiarities of interaction between transport infrastructure and economic growth
Micevičiene, Diana; Bazaras, Žilvinas
2010 - anglický
The link between transport infrastructure and economic development has to play a significant role in the development of transport network plans in any country. In fact, the relationship between investment in transport infrastructure and economic development has been the subject of investigation for quite some time. Despite this, the subject remains mired in controversy. The difficulty of establishing the relationship
between transport and economy is that numerous other factors influence this relationship. The process of economic development, where besides transport other factors play a part, must have a central place in a consideration of transport and economy. This paper, based on recent exploration of the authors, examines the question whether and under what conditions developed transport infrastructure engender economic activity. The paper explains the nature of the problem and describes the foundations of the possible interrelation between the effects themselves. Seeking to analyze the effects and alternatives
of their evaluation in more compressive manner, the authors of the article present firstly initiative processes of interaction between transport infrastructure and economic growth, secondly mechanism of their development in producing economic environment. The results of empirical testing of the model are also presented.

Electrical drive for compressor on turbocharged engine
Novák, Jaroslav; Čeřovský, Zdeněk
2010 - anglický
Turbochargers are usually driven by turbine powered by exhausted gases. This conception
is relatively simple but the compressor is not able to overcharge the compressed air or fuel-air mixture
into the cylinder in the total revolution range and power regimes. Next disadvantage of turbine driven compressor is the low dynamic response of the turbine and compressor at quick fuel supply increase. There are two possible solutions. First - the “electrocharger”, that is the fully electric driven compressor can be used. Second - the hybrid driven charger is possible. Research of supercharging systems is one of activities of Josef Božek Research Centre of Engine and Automotive Technology on Faculties of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering at Czech Technical University in Prague. Part of this activity
is research of electrical drive for the hybrid supercharging system especially from control point of view. Electric synchronous motor with permanent magnets was chosen as electric driving machine.
Its robustness, high torque overload features, its small size and mass, high dynamical features and feasible high revolutions are promising for this implementation. Paper deals with torque control of high speed permanent magnet synchronous motor for driving compressor of supercharged combustion engines. Control structure which includes regimes with both full magnetic flux and flux weakening is described. Paper describes the research working place and presents test results achieved on 40 000 rev/min synchronous permanent magnet motor.

A decision-making support system for low-density traffic railway lines management
Pieriegud, Jana
2010 - anglický
In recent years, the issue of closing down or revitalisation of low-density traffic railway lines in Poland has become increasingly important. These decisions are usually taken without undertaking precise analysis, due to the difficulties inherent in cost calculation. Furthermore a distinguishing feature of this category of lines is that budget limitations and low profits are more critical factors than travel time and traffic frequency. The paper outlines the main assumptions for the establishment of a software-based system that will support the decision-making processes concerning the revitali-zation of existing low-density lines, its
maintenance and operation management. The system, which can be useful for infrastructure managers,
railway operators as well as local authorities, is currently being developed within the R&D project
undertaken in Poland in 2008.

Railway safety management system
Popov, Pavel
2010 - anglický
The article is devoted to the analysis of railway safety management system. It is clear that advanced railway safety management system is of great importance for a country. The fact is understandable as well as for the global community due to rail transport is a part of the logistics chain, which facilitates international trade and economic growth. In the article the author also examines the key components of safety management system and the requirements to it. Safety is regarded by the author of the article as a prime consideration in the successful performance of duties of railway managers. Management is specifically responsible for the development
and implementation of safe practices and procedures. It is pointed out that the objectives of the safety management system regulations are to ensure that safety is given management time and corporate resources and that it is subject to performance measurement and monitoring on par with corporate financial and production goals.
The author of the article stresses that it is important to railway safety management system that
company policy should sustain continuing programs designed to promote the health and safety of all
employees and to co-operate with organizations and associations devoted to safety research and education. Russia has 85,000km of railways, making it the second largest network in the world after the US. Rail dominates the freight transport network accounting for 42.7% of total turnover, according to the Federal State Statistics Service, and around 85% of total turnover, if pipeline traffic is not included. Rail has a competitive advantage due to the large distances between different production centers in Russia. The road network is currently insufficient in terms of coverage and quality of the roads, while the waterways freeze during Russia’s long winter. The major cargo types carried by rail are coal (23%
of the total) followed by oil products, (18%) and construction materials, (15%). That’s way railway safety management system is very important to RZD as to a railway company of any other country.

Urban mobility, demographical changes and accessibility and transport for elderly
Schmeidler, Karel
2010 - anglický
There are two dilemmas with the increased mobility Europe has witnessed over the last century.
On the one hand, mobility has become an essential condition for social emancipation and economic
development. Whilst on the other hand, the social differentiation of access to new transport technologies is serving to fragment and splinter social cohesion. This dichotomy presents a challenge since “personal mobility is key to independence”. Accessibility to the spatial opportunities in the built urban and rural environments is a hurdle for people with reduced mobility, such as disabled people, elderly people, families with young children, and the young children themselves. Society is changing, is getting older, and is more open to transnational
mobility patterns, including the growth of tourism and in-migration. Society is expecting more flexible mobility solutions, which need to be affordable also for people with low incomes.
