The University of Pardubice is in the foreground in the nano-material world. Leveraging this capability, we are finding artistic ways to use these materials. NANOFORART is a project to develope new methods for the conservation and preservation of movable and immovable art works.
LITCON or Literary Con is an open festival of authentic literary culture, organized by KLKS (Department of Literary Culture and Slavistics) in Dačický House Kutná hora. The convention is intended for the second grade students of HLS (historical and literary studies) and invited guests (including media coverage), the program consists of several block appearances performed by department teachers and talented students informaly presenting during the half day programme (with midday lunch break) the ouputs of their own scientific and artistic work. The festival traditionally includes author readings of current scientific papers, prosaic and poetic texts, together with musical and improvisational performances (results of the optional seminar). The leading idea of the activity is to represent scientific and artistic aspects of academic life of KLKS in literary filed as two corresponding and mutually depending parts of education, professional training and broad-based culture.
Concrete is currently used for structures subjected to various loading and exposure conditions which can cause different modes
of failure and deterioration. The project covers following topics and is divided accordingly: Blast and impact loading loading
causes mainly brittle shear failure of concrete elements. The failure is caused by impact, reflection a and propagation of shock
wave and its rebound within the structural element. Fatigue is a process permanent progressive changes in the structure of a
material exposed to cyclic loading. High stress ranges result into accelerated crack propagation, higher defections, structural
stiness reduction and consequently into fatigue failure. The interaction of extreme loading with the deteriorating effect of cyclic
loading has not been properly studied yet, but the structures subjected to blast or impact are mainly under service for certain
amount of time. On hand of detailed experimental program, analytical tools for prediction of blast and impact performance,
fatigue performance of concrete and their interaction will be provided.
The aim of this project is to conduct intensive anthropological fieldwork among Kabyle immigrants in the Czech Republic and in their home country ? Algeria ? and publish a monograph based on this fieldwork. I will study the Kabyle immigration in the Czech Republic by resorting to an anthropological methodology and a holistic approach. I will focus on immigrants? transnational social networks and analyze the dynamics of deterritorialized immigrants? identities focusing on the interconnection between ethnic (Kabyle), national (Algerian), and religious (Muslim) identity. In the fieldwork in Algeria, I will investigate the social and economic background of immigrants? families, impact of emigration on life in Kabylia and factors that encourage the process of emigration.
The submitted project tries in an interdisciplinary approach to the material of particularly Czech cookery books to analyse their place and role not only within the everyday life of the regenerating Czech society, but also within the transformations of their literary culture. The thematic heart of the project focuses (in diachronically approached study of the long 19th century) on the relation aminy literary culture of the cookery books and their everyday reception. The project works on the basic assumption that the level of literary culture of the Czech written cookery books gradually diminishes contrary to the rising intensity a of patriotic-educational function.
The main objective of the project would be exchange of research outputs on both sides and creation of
an international platform for research in the field of entrepreneurs´ behavior and strategies applied by
small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) within their business environment, i.e. comparison and
evaluation of behavioral strategies applied. SMEs are a place where regional social and economic
processes meet, they have a major impact on the surrounding region, they can become as an example
for others (?best practices?) and contribute to stability and development of the region.
As it is clear that this phenomenon applies to one both Czech and Austrian economies, there comes a
need to explore topic on both sides. This would enrich the current knowledge and it would bring a new
intercultural perspective as well.
For a long period of time, the Studio of Restoration and Conservation of Paper, Book Binding and Documents has been dealing with insufficient equipment and technical solution of the issues concerning restoration of metal furnishings which can be found on book bindings. Based on the latest experience regarding the practice of restoration of metals as well as on the last thesis written by a student of FR UPa, which was focused on testing cleaning methods of book furnishings, it was concluded that the cleaning method by means of jet is the most suitable. The innovation will take place within the subject Restoration and Conservation Techniques of Paper I-VI. The equipment provided by the project will also serve as facilities for further research activities of students within their work on final year projects and thesis.
The project examining foreign trade between Prague and Italy in the pre-White Mountain period
involves primary research focusing on the commercial relationships between Prague and Italy from 1526
- 1618. There will be particular concentration on the trade between Prague and Northern Italian centers
of commerce such Venice, Florence, Bologna and Bolzano, with whom Prague merchants in the 16th
century had direct contacts. Aside from direct contacts between Prague and Italian merchants, the share
of Italian goods imported to Prague by German and Austrian trading companies will be examined. At the
same time, we will look at the markets in Nuremberg and Linz and their role in mediating commerce
between Prague and Italy. The project will also assess the influence of business practices and financial
techniques used in developed Italian centers on business practices in Prague. The outcome of the project
will culminate in a scientific monograph and 4 specialized studies.

The goal of the project is to create an intelligent firewall application for industrial networks. This firewall will be part of the application, which will be communicating with the software defined networks controller.

The application will utilize principles of artificial intelligence specifically artificial neural networks. The firewall will work in two modes: learning and autonomous.

In autonomous mode the firewall will automatically perform filtering operations. These operations will include traditional ones (allow, deny) and more advanced ones as well (deep inspection on the application layer), message duplication, or flow classification for the QoS.
