This paper deals with an ethnic-religious minority whose members call themselves Yazidis. The aim of the work is to examine how the adaptation of the Yazidis emigrating to Germany, the process of integration into the majority society seems to be successful and how, despite their will to integrate, they try to guard and preserve their ethnic identity and culture. The theoretical part contains a branch anchoring of the topic and an explanation of key concepts such as ethnic identity, diaspora, Yazidism and etymology of the word. The practical part acquaints the reader more closely with the mysterious and closed society after centuries, which begins to reveal itself to the world only in the last decade. In the practical part of the work are interpreted qualitative data collected from field research, which the author carried out in two trips to Germany at the end of September 2020 and early January 2021. For data collection was used the method of qualitative research. The method of participatory observation was applied to data collection, in which the researcher lived in a traditional Yazidi family and participated in daily routine.

Global reports of infectious diseases show that measles, tuberculosis, HIV, syphilis, cholera, a persistently high incidence of malaria and other transmissible diseases continue to occur periodically, often accompanied by an increase in the number of affected people. Moreover, new infectious diseases are emerging whose aetiology has not been reliably identified or have been considered non-pathogenic to humans. The current pandemic of Covid-19 caused by the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 has highlighted the necessity of redirecting biomedical research to early diagnosis and rational therapy of respiratory viruses in particular, as well as prevention of their spread by conventional means: limitation of direct contact among persons, protection by masks, hand hygiene, testing and tracing and quarantine of positively tested persons and their contacts. Ensuring the rapid development of safe and effective vaccines by means of the latest findings of contemporary biomedicine, including that of molecular-genomic technologies (sequencing the SARS-CoV-2 genome) is essential, in the hope that the newly constructed vaccines will, after inevitable modifications, be equally effective against genetic variants of the virus elicited by its expected mutations.

The paper analyzes in depth two works by the Cameroonian writer Léonora Miano. This author represents the contemporary migration writing coming from Subsaharan Africa, denotated sometimes as migritude and dealing with subjects such as migrations, exiles, hybridity, postcolonialism and post-postcolonialism and the individual vs collective experience. The paper focuses more closely on one particular aspect of her writing: the representation of the historical memory of Africa, through the newly established Afropean identity of her characters, who strive to find their place between Europe and Africa.

The essay seeks to define "Czecho-slovakianism" as a supra-national non-institutionalised "organism", as unity with a moral dimension that eliminates nationalism - both Czech and Slovak one. From the point of view of historic development, the essay notes that Czechoslovakianism has been existing continuously, despite many misunderstandings, as permanent cultural attractiveness born in the 19th century. It analyses the Czecho-Slovak convergence at the time of preparation of the Prague ethnographic exhibition in 1895 and observes the political positions of both nations living in one Austro-Hungarian state union, but seeking "their" own path towards a decent national perspective. The article subsequently deals with the World War I period which offered, under the influence of a series of circumstances, an exceptional chance to create a common state, the Czechoslovak Republic, backed by the state-building element of Czechs and Slovaks. This element was defined as the Czechoslovak nation. The political concept of the Czechoslovak nation, however, did not work. Not only because it was a political construct of the nation built on a top-down basis (as the German nation), but assumingly also because this concept had too few power ambitions. Such ambitions were present, for example, among the Germans in the 19th century, in the period of constitution of the German nation. The situation in the 20th century was, however, very different with respect to the existence of the "Czechoslovak nation". In 1918-1992, the Czechoslovak concept was not characterised by any war aggression or internal defence, but was significantly influenced by a series of internal conflicts, i.e. conflicts inherited from the monarchy and conflicts arising with the new constitutional arrangement. Disagreements prevailed in ethnic relations: Czech-German, Slovak-Hungarian and Czech-Slovak, including other internal problems. In terms of politics and organisation, the structure of the Czechoslovak state was fragmented and was governed by the interests of global powers. Czecho-slovakianism was repeatedly tested and verified from the point of view of the power of its values on which it was based, not only within the borders of former Czechoslovakia, but also in the relations between foreign Czechs and Slovaks and in their relationship to their homeland.

German elections to the Bundestag last year were significantly affected by the issue of migration. The third position of the Alternative for Germany was achieved particularly due to the party's refusing foreigners in the country. However, all parties were forced to present before the elections their ideas relating to integration; voters expected them to be able to solve recent problems spreading over the country due to the migration crisis. The paper focuses on the characteristics of German politics regarding migrants and attempts to indicate changes in its perception. The main part then concentrates on positions of individual political parties regarding the integration of refugees and their respective integration concepts. The paper outlines the specificity of individual parties and points to differences as well as similarities in their conceptions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The short study on the Austrian Integration Act 2017 does not focus on the link between the Austrian Integration Act 2017 and the sanctions directly or indirectly linked to its violation based on other laws in effect in Austria, but on the understanding of the concept and term of "integration" with the help of analyzing the means of providing for "integration". It is shown that the definition of integration clearly expresses a monoculturalist approach as opposed to a multiculturalist, both in the understanding of the theory of Bhikhu Parekh, and results from a multitude of cultural communities in Austria as a consequence of migration processes. The definition of integration addresses these groups from the point of view of their integration into the Austrian society. It does not deal with obligations or behavior on the other side, the side of the receiving society. It, thus, is a desideratum for a sustainable approach to adapt the measures for and policies of integration to its underlining concept which says that integration is a "reciprocal process". In order to be successful, the role of both sides should be considered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The German Federal Act on Integration of 2016 is a political reaction to the migration crisis of 2015. It aims to facilitate the integration of refugees into the German society. Its guiding principle is that of 'support and challenge': Refugees who have good prospects of being allowed to stay permanently will be eligible to take integration courses and to take advantage of job and training opportunities sooner than before. However, they are also required to work on their own integration. If they do not meet their duties to cooperate their benefits will be curtailed. In this article we deal with provisions regulating the legal status of migrants in the complex process of integration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper is focused on motives and strategies of migration of the Muslims population to the Czech Republic and how they evaluate their life in the Czech territory. The article is based on study and analysis of information resources and field research and significantly on a qualitative research using the biographical method searching for the reasons of migration, host country position and assessment of the life of Muslims living in the Czech Republic being identified together with the factors determining the process of their integration.

The article deals with the migration experience of Viennese Czechs as one of the attributes of the ethnic/national identity of the Czech minority in Vienna metropolis. The phenomenon of “Czech” has always belonged to the Vienna and historical and scientific sources speak about the Czechs as the oldest ethnic minority in the city. The first Czech people came to the Vienna with the vision of better jobs in the Middle Ages. The article is focused on individual emigration waves in which the Czech people came to this Austrian metropolis. The phenomenon of migration is seen as one of the important aspects that influenced the integrity of this collectivity in Vienna in the context of time and different biographical narratives of individuals.

Faktor zdravotního stavu je jedním z klíčových aspektů ovlivňujících migraci. Na straně jedné fakticky předurčuje, zda cizinec vůbec bude ochoten či schopen odejít ze země původu, na straně druhé ovšem stejně tak hraje roli tehdy, má-li se cizinec do země původu navrátit. V případech vážně nemocných cizinců je pak dokonce nutné zvažovat, zda nucené navrácení cizince či neposkytnutí mezinárodní ochrany mohou představovat porušení zásady non-refoulement. Tento příspěvek se pokouší analyzovat vývoj judikatury Evropského soudu pro lidská práva, Soudního dvora Evropské unie a Nejvyššího správního soudu k této problematice.

Dějiny lidských populací (změny v počtu obyvatel a jejich původu) jsou jednou z domén biologické antropologie, resp. archeogenetiky. Za poslední desetiletí došlo k významnému rozvoji molekulárně-genetických a biostatistických postupů, jejichž prostřednictvím bylo možné rekonstruovat demografické změny minulých populací v nejrůznějších částech světa. V době, kdy se genetické postupy při rekonstrukci pravěku utvářely, jsme vycházeli z limitovaného množství vzorků a studia jen části lidské genetické variability. Dnes se ocitáme v éře genomiky, a měli bychom tedy mluvit spíše o archeogenomice, která pracuje s nepoměrně větším počtem dat a dosahuje mnohem spolehlivějších výsledků. Nepochybujeme ale o tom, že v následujícím období se bude rekonstrukce populačních dějin ještě přepisovat a doplňovat, např. i díky novým poznatkům v oblasti epigenomiky a mikrobiomu. V tomto příspěvku bychom chtěli přiblížit přístupnou formou současné výsledky genetických studií pravěku Evropy, jež spolu s kulturními dějinami vytvářejí ucelenější obraz naší sdílené, ale nikým nezapsané minulosti.

Metodologický nacionalismus je chápán jako předpoklad, že národ/stát/společnost je přirozenou sociální a politickou formou moderního světa. Nejprve rozlišujeme tři druhy metodologického nacionalismu příznačné pro hlavní proud sociální vědy a poté ukazujeme, jak ovlivnily výzkum migrace. Odkrýváme paralely mezi nacionalistickým myšlením a konceptualizací migrace v poválečných společenských vědách. V historickém tour d’horizon ukazujeme, že tato koncepce hlavního proudu se rozvinula v úzké interakci s procesy budování západních národních států a s rolí, již v nich sehrály imigrační a integrační politiky. Posun směrem k výzkumu „trasnacionálních komunit“, což je poslední fáze tohoto procesu, vyplynul spíše z epistemického opuštění metodologického nacionalismu než ze vzniku nových předmětů pozorování. V závěru článku doporučujeme nové analytické koncepty, které nejsou zabarvené metodologickým nacionalismem a současně překračují fluidismus značné části současné sociální teorie.

Cílem této studie je analýza pojetí domova u českých Židů (ve významu Židů žijících v českých zemích), v moderní době ideologickopoliticky strukturované menšiny asimilantů (česko- a německožidovských) a národních Židů – sionistů, přeživších šoa, jejichž biografická svědectví se dočkala uveřejnění. Tato data jsou zpracována metodou obsahové kvalitativní analýzy a metodou komparace. Jejich interpretace je uvedena představením jediného celostního etnologického výkladu časově proměnlivého pojetí domova.

Článek sleduje různé podoby transnacionalismu v prostředí sportovních arén, a to v současných i historických kontextech. Hlavním teoreticko-kritickým cílem je přispět k precizaci a zvýšení analytické užitečnosti konceptu transnacionalismu. Transnacionalismus je odlišen nejen od globalizace a jejích derivátů, ale také (a speciálně) od "internacionality". Napětí uvnitř transnacionálního leží mezi dvěma (zřídka i více) pociťovanými či vyjadřovanými alternativními národně definovanými příslušnostmi či identitami, zatímco v internacionálním je tenze situována mezi národní a nadnárodní prostředí. Nacionalismus tak hraje důležitou a nenahraditelnou roli při konstituci transnacionální situace a zkušenosti. Empirické příklady jsou převzaty z různých sportů, avšak primární referenční bod tvoří fotbal. K sociologickému výkladu transnacionální zkušenosti (nejen ve sportu) je využito historické i fenomenologické perspektivy. Transnacionální zkušenost je zasazena do kontextu mezinárodní sportovní migrace ve stále propojenějším globalizovaném světě.
