            <description><![CDATA[This study provides an exploratory bibliometric overview of 119 English-language journal articles indexed in Web of Science (WoS) between 1999 and 2025 addressing female representation, women’s leadership, glass-ceiling barriers, and related governance and decision-making contexts. Using the R package bibliometrix and its Biblioshiny interface, the study examines annual production, global citation impact, author-level indicators, and Keywords Plus co-occurrence. Publication activity increased particularly after 2016. Citation impact was strongly right-skewed, with a mean of 33.52 and a median of 7 citations, while the ten most cited articles accounted for 69.12% of all citations. The findings apply only to the selected WoS-indexed sample.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[In the contemporary, uncertain global economic situation, interest in strategic industries has emerged. The study aims to identify strategic industries and track the methods used to do so. The methodology of this study is a systematic literature review of methods for identifying strategic industries. The study elaborates on how external disruptive events shaped the approach to strategic industries. The bibliometric analysis of 4,099 records in Web of Science (WoS) in January 2023 revealed that food, energy, and water supply are the main topics in the related research. Three main streams have been identified: free-competition-centered, economic-performance-centered, and safety-centered. Strategic industries were grouped into three categories: universal, country-specific, and proliferating.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[This article examines the structural patterns of digitally intensive sectors in the European Union (EU) between 2005 and 2023. Using Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) secondary data, the study analyzes changes in the shares of gross value added and employment across sectors classified according to the digital-intensity taxonomy. Structural dynamics are quantified using the Structural Change Index (SCI). The results show that changes in the sectoral distribution of value creation were limited, while employment shifts were more pronounced. Digital transformation, therefore, appears to occur primarily through adjustments within sectors rather than through major structural restructuring.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[This study focuses on the development and validation of the test of thinking strategies in German as a foreign language. The main aim is to develop a valid and reliable instrument for assessing the thinking strategies of lower-secondary school children (aged 14–16) in the Hradec Králové region, Czech Republic. The test development process involved item analysis, pilot testing, and psychometric evaluation conducted between October and December 2024 on a sample of 69 respondents, to establish both item-level and overall test validity and reliability. The results indicate that the developed test is an appropriate assessment tool enabling professionals to assess and therefore better understand the needs of individual learners during the foreign language acquisition process.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[This systematic review examines how artificial intelligence (AI) affects media production and consumption. The review analyzes 17 peer-reviewed articles from Scopus and Web of Science (WoS) databases published between 2020 and 2025. The goal is to develop an integrative framework that synthesizes the diverse impacts of AI across media production, consumption, and ethical governance. The results shed light on the fact that AI can significantly improve efficiency decreasing production time by 35%-60% and, at the same time, increase accessibility; however, the review also notes the salient issues of bias, authenticity, and informational variety. Significant conflicts arise between quality and efficiency, personalization and diversity, and, lastly, between accountability and transparency.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[This article reconceptualizes drawing from imagination as a distributed social practice and develops an empirically grounded triadic model that informs the design and assessment of visualization-literacy instruction. A mixed-methods pilot study with 30 Czech secondary-school graphic design students (March–June 2025) combines observation, questionnaires, and artifact analysis across three task regimes and age cohorts. The analysis identifies five repertoires and three recurring thresholds, interpreting difficulties as translation bottlenecks between modalities and between mental models and marks on paper. Visualization literacy is framed as a transferable material-discursive competence, and a triadic model is proposed as a portable script for assessing visualization-literacy activities.]]></description>

Podkladem výzkumu bylo anketní on-line šetření realizované formou plošné kampaně na jaře roku 2025. Pilotní ověření proběhlo na vzorku 64 lezců. Výzkumu se zúčastnilo 1 063 respondentů (634 mužů, 427 žen, 2 nebinární osoby). Analýza se zaměřila na věk respondentů, jejich lezeckou výkonnost, délku zkušenosti, četnost provozování lezeckých aktivit a výskyt úrazů včetně typu činnosti, během níž k úrazu došlo. Celkem bylo zaznamenáno 1 277 úrazů při 1 233 lezeckých nehodách. Zjištěné výsledky odpovídají trendům popisovaným v zahraniční literatuře a poukazují na potřebu posílení preventivních opatření v oblasti lezeckých aktivit.]]></description>

By analyzing original royal seals and avoiding interpretative distortions from later copies and translations, the study identifies the first monarch to adopt the title “roi de France” in vernacular French. It argues that title changes reflect shifts in political regimes rather than linguistic trends. The article proposes 24 April 1617, the day of Louis XIII’s Coup de Majesté, as the symbolic birth of the modern French State.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[AbstraktCílem příspěvku je postihnout funkci periodickém tisku (nejčastěji novin) českých imigrantů ve Spojených státech amerických a její proměny. Česká imigrantská periodika a jejich funkce jsou charakterizovány od samého počátku jejich existence, tj. od šedesátých let 19. století, až do začátku 21. století, kdy český tisk v USA zaniká, tzn. po dobu cca sto padesáti let. Aplikovanou metodou je především široce pojatá formální a obsahová analýza textu. Tato rozsáhlá analýza dokládá, že funkce česky tištěných periodik, jež vydávali krajané ve Spojených státech amerických, se proměňovala v těsné závislosti na jejich asimilaci. Jiná jsou ale periodika exilová. Ta vydávali čeští exulanti v letech 1948-1989 a jejich funkce byla ještě i v té době z důvodů politických a kulturních etnicky identifikační.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Erving Goffman (1922-1982) significantly shaped modern sociology through his contributions to microsociology, particularly his theories of symbolic interactionism and dramaturgical analysis. This article examines Goffman’s theoretical frameworks, with a particular emphasis on his dramaturgical analysis, which likens social interactions to theatrical performances, and his frame analysis, which investigates how individuals construct and interpret social realities. The research is based on a qualitative analysis and key scholarly interpretations (comparative, textual, and conceptual). Drawing from the Chicago School of Sociology, Goffman’s work integrates insights from Max Weber and George Herbert Mead to analyze how individuals navigate social roles, stigmas, and institutional structures.]]></description>

This article focuses on transfer and interference phenomena between two closely related Slavic languages: Czech and Russian, in the context of teaching Czech as a second language. In particular, the grammatical patterns comprising the copula verb (present indicative) and the auxiliary verb (the compound past indicative) are examined. The study analyzes frequent errors collected from 15 Russian-speaking students from Kazakhstan during classroom interaction in May-June 2025. Furthermore, a marginal analysis on verbs of preference (mít rád, rád) is performed. The findings are used to formulate proposals for teaching methodology.]]></description>

Starting with the book’s justification, the author proceeds to subsequent chapters that touch upon the conceptualization and methodological operationalization of multilevel governance (MLG), its related logics and processes, legitimacy, public participation, and the implications of identity politics. While providing a much-needed conceptual overview of its complexities, the contribution falls short in providing the required methodological guidance for some of the proposed concepts, such as the three power types and modes of governance.]]></description>
