It addresses such questions as: What does it mean that human beings can articulate their experience narratively? In what sense can they attribute value to the relations between themselves and the world? In what sense can there be no perception of the world, not even of a tiny cup of coffee, without a narrative context? This text offers a combination of historical and systematic approaches. It reconstructs the development of Schapp's thought (Schapp having studied with Rickert, Dilthey, and Husserl) and shows its relevance for contemporary discussions in the fields of phenomenology, hermeneutics, philosophy of mind and perception, philosophy of narrative, value theory, and social ontology. It appeals to researchers and students working in these areas. 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14178/3923 ¡No tocar, peligro! Objetos extraños y siniestros en los cuentos de Silvina Ocampo Poláková, Dora La cuentística de la escritora argentina Silvina Ocampo (190-1993) se caracteriza por una expresión grotesca de la realidad cotidiana que, a menudo, incluye un elemento fantástico, sobrenatural, misterioso. Sus personajes, frecuentemente niños, criados, mujeres, viven en un mundo donde todo es posible. Es un mundo de crueldad y humor, pero sobre todo un mundo donde se rompen las convenciones, se cuestionan valores y significados, donde, en definitiva, ocurren cosas que no deberían ocurrir (como afirma Sylvia Molloy, "lo que esperaríamos leer se da junto a lo que no esperaríamos leer"; 1978: 244). Uno de los elementos clave a través de los cuales lo extraño entra en su mundo ficticio son los objetos banales y cotidianos, que, sin embargo, tienen propiedades y habilidades que también alteran el orden establecido. En este artículo se analizarán varios de estos cuentos para ver como Silvina Ocampo maneja lo extraño vinculado a lo más normal: fotografías, vestidos, espejos etc.; The short stories of Argentine writer Silvina Ocampo (190-1993) are characterized by a grotesqueexpression of everyday reality, which often includes elements of the fantastic, supernatural, and mysterious. Hercharacters, frequently children, servants, and women, live in a world where anything is possible. It is a world of crueltyand humour, but above all a world where conventions are broken, values and meanings are questioned, where, inshort, things happen that should not happen (as Sylvia Molloy states, “what we would expect to read occurs alongsidewhat we would not expect to read”; 1978: 244). One of the key elements through which the strange enters her fictionalworld is banal, everyday objects, which nevertheless have properties and abilities that also alter the established order.This article will analyze several of these stories to see how Silvina Ocampo handles the strange in relation to the mostnormal: photographs, dresses, mirrors, etc. 2025-01-01T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14178/3902 ENHANCING BAYESIAN NETWORKS THROUGH LOGISTIC REGRESSION: A CASE STUDY OF CZECH SOCIETY DIVISIONS Vomlel, Jiří One of the most frequently employed criteria for the structural learning of Bayesian networks (BNs) is the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC). The objective is to identify a model that exhibits an optimal balance between the fit to the training data, as measured by the log-likelihood, and the model's complexity, as quantified by the number of model parameters. A significant challenge associated with this approach pertains to the exponential increase in the number of parameters required for conditional probability tables (CPTs) as the number of parents of each node increases. This phenomenon leads to a substantial growth in the complexity of the CPTs, which serve as the fundamental building blocks of BNs. However, there exist models of CPTs whose number of parameters grows linearly with the number of parents, and they often represent a better fit to data than general CPTs. In this paper, we examine models with CPTs, either in their general form or in the form corresponding to multinomial logistic regression (MLR) or ordinal logistic regression (OLR). We employ data from a sociological study entitled "Dividing Lines in Czech Society" to demonstrate the enhancement through the incorporation of MLR and OLR models as CPTs within the framework of BN structural learning. 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14178/3848 History Education and Civics in the Context of the Education System of the Czech Republic Ripka, Vojtěch Fodor, Richárd; Tóth, Judit; Fekete, Áron The paper presents an analytical insight into history education at primary and secondary level schools in the Czech Republic. History education is analyzed in the context of the Czech educational system. Though not having a particularly strong formal position within teaching subjects, together with civics, history education is a socially widely expected field of education with somewhat excessive expectations regarding its impact on the creation of democratic culture. The domestic Czech discourse on history education is summarized using the perspective of teachers, scholars, and politicians. The main concerns include the fact that modern history seems to overshadow all other periods in terms of the preparedness of innovative teaching tools and the attention of the wider public, the gap between the largely traditional transmissive practice and contemporary theory, which is partially reflected in the National Curriculum, as well as the blurry lines of civics and history education due to lack of systematic studies with an insight into the practice on the ground. History education has the potential to become weaponized, and some attempts to exploit this potential have already appeared, although they are still not decisive. 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z
