The text analyses statements about migration, Islamic terrorism and Islam itself presented in the Czech public space during the 2015-2016 European Migrant Crisis. It maps the position of the Prague archbishop and his co-workers as it is gradually moving nearer to the extreme views of the issue. Politicians often used the reference to so-called Christian values during the time of the migrant crisis, and, remarkably, it has been relevant to many people in the context of the secularised society of the Czech Republic. These debates have been tempting for representatives of churches to participate in political fights, which eventually negatively influence their credibility as preachers of the gospel.

Groundwater inflows showing notable natural radioactivity have been found at the northern end of the Holešovice cable tunnel close to the Čimice Grove. This groundwater originates from the Barrandian Neoproterozoic slates of the Blovice accretionary complex, Belt I (Šárka-Zbiroh Belt) at depths approximately 100 meters below the surface, occurring along 50 meter profile of the cable tunnel. Water springs are dispersed in the spring area, with the total discharge of 2 L/s. Groundwater is cold (T ~ 11.1 - 12.3 °C), neutral (pH ~ 6 - 7.48), suboxic to oxic (Eh (ORPH) ~ 177 up to 418 mV), of a hydrochemical type Ca-Mg-HCO3, total mineralization being around 702 mg/L. Radon activity (222Rn) varies between 415 and 1195 Bq/L and radium activity (226Ra) ranges between 0.18 and 5.3 Bq/L. Activities of Rn and Ra are relatively high. Currently, this is the most radioactive water within Prague agglomeration. This water is relatively aggressive as well, causing damage to the concrete lining of the cable tunnel and also allowing formation of calcite precipitates with an increased radium (226Ra) activity.

Chlupáč's Museum of Earth History is a unique academic museum focusing on the development of the planet Earth from the perspective of both living and inanimate nature, which is primarily intended for teaching university students. However, its clarity, and, in a sense, its compactness, allows it to be used to educate students at lower levels of education, especially if accompanied by explanatory commentary. The museum was created on the basis of original geological-paleontological collections amassed at the Faculty of Science of Charles University, after World War II, from several Prague universities. The collections were inaccessible to the public until the turn of the millennium, when it was decided to renovate and rebuild the museum and open it to the public for at least a limited amount of time. The museum's (own) exhibition is a comprehensive set of fossil materials, illustrative models, and information posters describing the evolution of the Earth from its origins to the present day. It is supplemented by examples of some paleoecological relationships in selected periods and unique visual reconstructions. Since its official opening, the museum has been used by numerous schools (especially secondary schools) to supplement or replace geological science teaching. Currently, students on school excursions are key visitors to the museum. In addition to lectures organized by the museum, students can also complete worksheets, which make the material easier to interpret and memorize. In the future, the museum could certainly be used more intensively to complement the teaching of geology, which is a very neglected area at secondary schools. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The study summarises current debate related to the beginnings of John Wyclif’s influence in Bohemia during the late Middle Ages, in concrete the dating of Nicholas Biceps’ OP (d. 1390/1391) Sentences commentary extant in MS Prague, Archives of Prague Castle, Manuscript collection of the Library of the Metropolitan Chapter of St. Vitus in Prague, C 19 (434), fol. 1ra–223va. Moreover, the text introduces new sources relevant for Nicholas’ commentary hitherto not considered within historiography, i.e., John Wyclif’s De verbi incarnacione and Richard Brinkley’s OFM (d. ca. 1379) Summa logicae. According to known testimonies and the current state of knowledge, the inception of Wyclif’s reception at Prague University dates to the period after 1385. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Pastoral officer from Prague's Academy Church of St. Salvatore shows a study that was conducted among catechumen in this parish, which included mostly adult convert-college students. It compares this group to parallel groups in the world, analyzes their motivations for entering the church, addresses the main issues and problems that those concerned are asking and addressing. At the same time, the environment of these converts is an interesting place of reflection for the church, so in the second part of the study it looks at how the church sees itself, what they criticize about it, what they expect from it, what images the church carries. All this in light of the challenges of pastoral practice with such a specific group. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article deals first with the relative affordability of owner-occupied housing in Prague compared to the situation in the Czech Republic in general. The relative position of Prague in this region is then assessed in a cross-national comparison and determined to be specific. The article's main objective is to uncover the main demand factors behind the high prices and the low affordability of owner-occupied housing in Prague. The authors focus on factors that derive from the specific economic position of Prague and the specific culturally-rooted preferences of Czech citizens for owner-occupied housing. Findings from numerous sociological studies and experiments have proved both of these factors to be very important, and their future development will thus largely be influenced by the affordability of housing in Prague.

In the 1990s, the suburban areas of post-socialist cities were transformed dramatically. Prague could be presented as an example of the kind of urban development occurring in an East Central European city. This paper focuses on the suburbanisation process in the Prague urban region. The main emphasis is put on describing the suburbanisation of Prague as the process having the most important impact on the socio-spatial structure of suburban localities and on the transformation of both the social and physical environment of the outskirts of the city over the past twelve years. This article focuses on three main topics: theoretical approaches to the study of suburbanisation, the history of suburbanisation in Prague (with emphasis on the communist period) and the present consequences of suburbanisation in selected suburbs.
