Haasová, M. ; Kábová, Hana
František Záviška (1879-1945)habilitated in theoretical physics at Charles University (Prague) in 1906, he was appointed professor extraordinarius in 1914 and professor ordinarius in 1919. He studied in the Cavendish laboratory in Cambridge (1906/7). He was physicist, primarily engaged in physical optics, theories of electromagnetic fields and hydrodynamics. He became member of the Royal Bohemian Learned Society (1919), the Czech Academy of Sciences and Arts (1914) and the Association of Czechoslovak Mathematicians and Physicists (1898). His personal papers are housed in 14 boxes. Biographical documents are rather rich as regards his study and university career, though correspondence, scientific work and documentation from his public activities are scarce. Set of testimonies of Záviška's death, obituaries, memories and articles to jubilees are an important part of the fonds. Documentation of his wife, Emilie Antonie, née Škodová, is preserved, too.

Czech-Polish Relations in Agricultural Sciences in the Inter-War Period
Mikovcová, Alena
The development of scientific institutions and evolution of research were due to the historical differences of both countries and their incompatible development during the Inter-War Period. In 1925, the signing of a Czechoslovak-Polish agreement caused a qualitative wobble in Czechoslovak-Polish scientific cooperation. The 12th International Agricultural Congress in Warsaw in the same time was a breakthrough in bilateral relations in the branch of the agricultural sciences. In 1929, the Krakow sessions of representatives of Czechoslovak and Polish agricultural organizations fixed the first common scientific program of mutual cooperation in the field of agricultural sciences at the level of agricultural research institutes in Poland and Czechoslovakia.

Členství žen v předních vědeckých společnostech ve 20. století [v českých zemích]
Barvíková, Hana ; Martinovský, Martin
During the whole 20th century there were 5 or 6 central scholar institutions in the Czech lands. Their members were elected, and the membership represented the highest acknowledgment of research abilities and importance of the person for her/his discipline. Women were, however, elected only very rarely; only four local scholars (and two foreign) became members in the first half of the century, followed by eleven ones in the second part. The article maps possibilities and conditions of the elections influenced obviously above all by the very beginnings of women scholars, pioneers in the world of science and humanities in the first fifty years, by the totalitarian regime and by the existence of the unique, really centralized institution from 1950s. Small portraits of all women and circumstances of their elections together with the description of the situation regarding women in research in the end of the 20th and in beginning of the 21th century are included.
