The project is based on Priorities 1 and 3 of the Long-Term Plan of the Educational and Scientific, Research, Development and Innovation, Artistic and Other Creative Activities of the University of Pardubice and the Faculty of Chemical Technology for the period 2016 - 2020. It is based on Government Regulation No. 274 of August 24, 2016 on Standards for Accreditation in Higher Education. Its aim is to innovate and improve the teaching of selected economic courses (Management of Chemical and Food Industries, Management Science Modeling) and to prepare new economic courses taught in English (Business Economics and Management in Chemical Industry, New Trends in Business Economics and Management, Project Management). As part of the project, members of the team will, among other things, increase their expertise and language competencies.

Modern historians accept the regular and professional armies for one of the most important attributes of early modern state. Moreover, the
imperial army used to constitute one of the elementary features shared within the multi-national state of the Habsburg monarchy. However,
surprisingly, we still miss systematical research that would connect the changes in the warfare of those times with the history of early modern
aristocracy (the other ?pillar? of the monarchy) in the Czech historiography. The research will focus on: A) the ways the aristocracy from the
Czech lands tried to get used to the development of the then warfare and to the tendencies of the new warcraft that should weaken their
previous dominant position on the battlefield; B) the importance of the military service in the regular state army in the frame of aristocratic
career strategies.
There are two main goals of the project: a) publishing several articles to the topic; 2) a manuscript of a scientific monograph and an
agreement with a publishing house on the publishing of the monograph.

The proposed project is a free continuation of simultaneously solved Centralized Development Program 1: Program for promotion of mutual cooperation between universities called Modernization of instrumentation for higher quality of education of doctoral students. The aim of the project is further modernization of equipment and further integration of the participating schools for the continued higher quality of education doctoral students in science, engineering and technology fields. For this reason, we kept the same name for the project. Participating schools continue to work intensively and continuously discuss achievements whether at personal meetings, conferences and seminars, as well as through electronic communication. In addition, the results of existing cooperation subject of a number of doctoral theses and diploma works.

The main goal of the project is the quality improvement of the teaching process at the department of Transport Technology and Control. Using the digital camera will be captured unique footage as an extension of the teaching process.

Relying on a modernised infrastructure accessing cutting-edge text sources, a strategic network of contacts within specialised foreign institutions and an innovative research approach the department will establish itself as a respectable member of the international community. Research and publications by Ph.D. students will also be supported.

RHINOS aims at increasing the use of EGNSS to support the safety-critical train localization function for train control in emerging regional and global markets. RHINOS adds value to EGNSS by leveraging the results from prior or existing projects, and develops a Railway High Integrity Navigation Overlay System to be used by the rail community. RHINOS pillar is the GNSS infrastructure realized for the aviation application with additional layers that meet the rail requirements in the difficult railway environments.

RHINOS will feature international cooperation with Stanford University, involved in aviation applications since the birth of the GPS, gaining an undeniable knowledge of GNSS performance and high-integrity applications. The ambition is to step beyond the proliferation of GNSS platforms, mainly tailored for regional applications, in favour of a global solution, releasing the potential benefits of the EGNSS to the fast-growing train-signalling world market.

The RHINOS work programme includes the investigation of candidate concepts for provisioning the high integrity needed to protect the detected position of the train, as required by the train control system application which the EGNSS (GALILEO and EGNOS) plus GPS and WAAS constitute.

A further objective of RHINOS is to contribute to the definition of a standard for the Railway High Integrity Navigation Overlay System leveraging the EUUS Cooperation Agreement on ARAIM. The RHINOS dissemination plan includes three specific "workshops" with the rail and satellite stakeholders: at Stanford University (US), in Rome (Western Europe), and in Prague (Eastern Europe).

The main purpose of this project is to expand students? experience and learning opportunities in the Advanced instrumental analysis laboratory classes intended for students of several branches of chemistry namely Analytical chemistry, Evaluation and Analysis of Foodstuffs, Analysis of Biological Materials and to underpin essential knowledge of the students related to the problematic of speciation analysis. Speciation analysis is nowadays an important analytical task in routine practice, not only due to the implementation of a new piece of legislation. The learning objectives for this project were identified as gaining an understanding of a specific instrument, as well as the basic operation of such equipment for the most frequently employed analytical technique for speciation analysis that involves the selective hydride generation with a sensitive atomic absorption detection system. This will help to develop essential skills that the students will require for subsequent employment.

The newly designed beam is, unlike the contemporary beams, of a different technical solution and shape. The shape is trapezoidal with two nibs of dimensions 400 / 100 mm, which are located along the whole length of the beam. The length of the beam is proposed to span up to 28 m and it can vary concurrently with the height. The full end parts serve not only for the possibility of use of one anchor with higher prestress intensity, but for beam joints without cast end cross member, too. The intensity of prestressing can be easily changed. Longitudinal and cross beam alignment is presented in the particular project documentation. The beam is frame-shaped and the upper joint influential slab will be strengthened by a skew rib which will be created in the space between beams. The reinforcement of the slab along with the rib increases the general stiffness of the structure and this can be taken into account even in the static calculation by structure bearing capacity assessment. Considering the prestress in the end part of the beam as prestressed cable with cohesivness, and in the other parts as prestressed free cable protected from corrosion, there are some other options how to connect the bearing structure with the substructure into an integrated bridge, alternatively, how to use the pre-cast structures for bridges with more spans. The beam will be a valuable asset in bridge construction industry based on a thoroughly prepared documentation describing the materials of which the beam consists (reinforcement drawings, drawing of prestressing, anchor and stressing), the structural calculation documentation using the Scia Engineer and Atena software, including the suitable bridge accessories recommendation which can be used by the building company at the bridge construction with the designed elements. The documentation would contain other auxiliary data about bearing limits, skewness, or data about influence areas and deflection of the bridge made of the beams.
