Epigraphica & Sepulcralia 14. Forum of epigraphical and sepulchral studies. Proceedings of the conference Family Necropolises in Bohemia: Possibilities and Methods of Their Research and Presentation, Prague 26-27 October 2022
Chlíbec, Jan ; Hrdinová, M.
The collection of narrowly specialised studies is a product based on the interdisciplinary symposium Family Necropolises in Bohemia: Possibilities and Methods of Their Research and Presentation (Prague 2022) within the research programme Strategy AV21: Anatomy of European Society, this meeting of experts is one of the outcomes of the project Family Necropolises in Bohemia in the Late Middle Ages and Early Modern Times: Regionalism, Inter-Regionalism and Internationalism. Family necropolises and their artistic equipment are important sources of knowledge about the life of noble society in the Late Middle Ages and early modern times. The given theme is examined from various aspects combining the humanities and exact sciences – from the perspectives of history, art history, archaeology, and geological disciplines, as well as a detailed analysis of archival sources. These various approaches produce a manifold image of the studied issue. At the turn of the Middle Ages and modern times new noble necropolises emerged whose artistic aspect – tombstones and epitaphs, sometimes with other funeral elements such as family banners, shields, and armour – mark a significant chapter of Czech art history. The craftsmanship as well as the type of material selected for these works often reflect the period and fashion trends in the field of sepulchral art culture. Furthermore, noble necropolises as a sacral space served as family self-presentation, a place that in addition to the religious function documented profound tradition of the family, its glory, and social status; figural tombstones, if present, may have acted as a portrait gallery of the family.

One thousand and fifty years of the Bishopric of Prague
Kotous, J. ; Sommer, Petr ; Vaníček, V.
The book is dedicated to the 1050th anniversary of the foundation of the Prague bishopric. The first block of studies places the topic of the first Czech diocese in the Central European context of the Carolingian and Ottonian empires, the related ecclesiastical institutions and the Christianization processes in their individual parts, e.g. among the Polabian Slavs. The second block of texts traces the processes leading to the building of the foundations of the Bohemian diocese, its establishment and its continuity with the Great Moravian ecclesiastical beginnings. Equally important are the probes tracing the process of Christianization of Czech society, the relationship between the Prague bishops and the Czech ruler, and the emergence of church organization. The book concludes with studies tracing the Czech and Moravian bishoprics at the turning points of the Hussite and Reformation periods, the Recatholization and the reforms of Joseph II.

Programs and Algorithms of Numerical Mathematics 21 : Jablonec nad Nisou, June 19-24, 2022 : Proceedings of Seminar
Chleboun, J. ; Kůs, Pavel ; Papež, Jan ; Rozložník, Miroslav ; Segeth, Karel ; Šístek, Jakub
These proceedings contain peer-reviewed papers that are based on the invited lectures, short communications, and posters presented at the 21st seminar Programs and Algorithms of Numerical Mathematics (PANM) held in Merkur Hotel, Jablonec nad Nisou, Czech Republic, June 19-24, 2022.\nThe seminar was organized by the Institute of Mathematics of the Czech Academy of Sciences under the auspices of EU-MATHS-IN.CZ, Czech Network for Mathematics in Industry, and with the nancial support provided by the RSJ Foundation. It continued the previous seminars on mathematical software and numerical methods held (biennially, with only one exception) in Alšovice, Bratříkov, Janov nad Nisou, Kořenov, Lázně Libverda, Dolní Maxov, Prague, and Hejnice in the period 1983-2020. The objective of this series of seminars is to provide a forum for presenting and discussing advanced topics in numerical analysis, computer implementation of numerical algorithms, new approaches to mathematical modeling, and single- or multi-processor applications of computational methods.

NIVB Meeting 2023
Hostomský, Zdeněk ; Vácha, R. ; Pichová, Iva ; Šímová, Šárka
NIVB Meeting 2023 – the second meeting of the National Institute of Virology and Bacteriology (NIVB) in Kutná Hora on 2. 10. – 5. 10. 2023 will be again after one year an opportunity to meet the participating teams, discuss excellent science, establish collaborations, and present the progress of the project to the members of the International Scientific Advisory Board. Thanks to funding from the Czech Economic Recovery Plan, a number of important results have already been published in high impact journals. Several networking workshops have been organized and scientific collaborations have been established. The meeting in Kutná Hora is therefore a summary of all that has happened in the project over the past year. The main goal of the NIVB is to facilitate cooperation between 30 participating research teams from 8 Czech research institutions, and this goal is gradually being achieved. The NIVB acts as a common communication platform to discuss the desired cooperation of the NIVB research teams, especially those that have not had much contact so far due to their inter-institutional, interdisciplinary or inter-regional distance.\nWe thank all the participants who contributed to the meeting with 30 oral presentations and 67 posters. The NIVB 2022 meeting had the ambition to launch a new series of annual meetings dedicated to virology and bacteriology, and NIVB 2023 fulfils this ambition and continues to aim to inform the wider scientific community about new developments, trends and issues in these disciplines.

The Turbulent Development of Czechoslovak Middle Eastern Policy in the Years 1948-1955
Taterová, Eva
This chapter aims to introduce and interpret the development of Czechoslovak foreign policy to the Middle East in 1948-1955 in the\ncontext of the ongoing Cold War using the case studies of Czechoslovak bilateral relations with Israel and Egypt. After the communist coup in\nFebruary 1948, Czechoslovak foreign policy encountered essential changes that also influenced Czechoslovak attitudes towards the Middle\nEast. While in the late 1940s there was an effort to maintain the existing local partnerships (e.g. the continuing support to the\nemerging State of Israel), the early 1950s brought a significant shift of Czechoslovak Middle Eastern policy due to the international and\ninternal political factors. As result, Czechoslovakia started to focus on the development of close mutual relations with some Arab countries.\nIn this sense, the year 1955 is considered a milestone regarding the Egyptian-Czechoslovak arms deal which set an important precedent for\nsimilar contracts of military cooperation between Czechoslovakia with the other regional actors.
