Neoliberalism or Else: The Discursive Foundations of Neoliberal Populism in the Czech Republic

This article examines the linkage of markets and democracy in the post-1989 Czech transition as a neoliberal populist discourse that delegitimized alternatives to the market as a return to authoritarianism. Using Laclau’s concept of equival...

Analysis of life quality development in the administrative districts of South Moravia

: The equable regional development and mitigation of disparities among the individual regions are main objectives of regional policy not only in the Czech Republic but in the whole European Union. The paper presents an analysis of life qual...

The Problem of Integrating Digital Twins into Electro-Energetic Control Systems

The use of digital twins (DTs) in the electric power industry and other industries is a hot topic of research, especially concerning the potential of DTs to improve processes and management. This paper aims to present approaches to the crea...

Energy management and power quality improvement of microgrid system through modified water wave optimization

A comparative study of energy management strategies and PQ improvement schemes for a Fuel Cell, Battery, and SuperCapacitor integrated Microgrid system has been projected utilizing the MATLAB/Simulink architecture in this research article. ...

Moulds occurrence in woodchips

The research, whose results are presented, is aimed at determination of development of moulds number in wood chips under different storage temperatures. The experiments were carried out with the moisture of samples 65%, 22% and 1%. During t...

Evaluation of the developmental toxicity of 2-phenoxyethanol and clove oil anaesthetics using the Frog Embryo Teratogenesis Assay: Xenopus (FETAX)

The developmental toxicity of two anaesthetics, 2-phenoxyethanol and clove oil, used in aquaculture was evaluated using the Frog Embryo Teratogenesis Assay: Xenopus (FETAX) and the results were compared to outcomes in fish. Xenopus laevis e...

A search for $t\bar{t}$ resonances with the ATLAS detector in 2.05 fb−1 of proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 7~\mathrm{TeV}$

Abstract A search for top quark pair resonances in final states containing at least one electron or muon has been performed with the ATLAS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The search uses a data sample corresponding to an integ...

Richard Baldwin: The Globotics Upheaval: Globalisation, Robotics, and the Future of Wor.k
