Methodological Aspects

The article is a review of the most significant projects carried out using the oral history  method by the Institute of Contemporary History at the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic (ÚSD AV ČR) between 1996–2012. It is presented from the perspective of Czech historiography with regard to thematic and historical trends. The author also presents the methodological aspects of those projects along with the reactions provoked by such initiatives by both experts and society. The author states that contemporary oral history  is a well-known concept within Czech culture, drawing on the universal „expansion of remembrance” and a growing interest in the retention of peoples’ accounts, though the term was hardly known in the Czech Republic twenty years ago. Today, the Czech Republic has a broad spectrum of both completed and on-going oral history  projects, as well as better institutional, methodological and technical bases, which, together with internationally recognised spokespersons, makes them one of the world leaders in this research category. The author presents Czech oral history  in a basic (chronological, thematic and institutional) framework and compares it not only with its immediate neighbours but also with more distant countries. This not only helps distinguish common features within the oral history  world but also defines those characteristics unique to the Czech model.

This paper was presented in History 3697, fall semester, 2017, a mid-level required writing course designed to link the methods of oral history with the study of issues in the contemporary history of the non-western world. The issue for all of us in this course was social change in recent times. I chose to examine the degree of acceptance of gays in Jamaica, in an era of great change in sexual mores throughout the world. I read the literature; I interviewed Julian, a recent immigrant from Jamaica, and I drew conclusions based on integrating the scholarly material with the interview revelations. The findings were important both for understanding (the lack of) change in sexual attitudes in Jamaica, and the importance of analysis of the individual and the collective together, of the interview and the scholarly data examined together. The individual, at least my interviewee, and the society, are currently resistant to change. The main conclusion: changes in sexual mores in other areas of the world are taking place at rates very different from, and, specifically in Jamaica, at rates much slower than, those in the USA.

Abstract An automatic device for measurement of the amount (weight) of deposited precipitation developed at the Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, is described. Examples of measurements of various types of deposited precipitation are presented. The paper also discusses the response of the measuring instrument to falling precipitation and the influence of wind on the measurements. The results of first measurements proved that the instrument is suitable for automatic and continuous monitoring of deposited precipitation.

World trade underwent a significant shock within the recent years, which caused a decline in the world economy primarily in the year 2009. Within the following years (2010 and 2011), the high rate of growth from the years preceding the crisis could not be restored. The crisis had an impact on all segments of the merchandise trade, whereby the trade in agricultural and food products was affected the least by the crisis. In the case of the Czech Republic, the crisis of the global and national economy was reflected in the case of agricultural trade primarily by the way of a decline in the rate of the growth of export, which was very high in the period prior to the crisis. As far as the territorial structure and commodity structure of agricultural trade is concerned, their development in the years 2008–2011 was not affected in any largely significant manner. In relation to the main objective of this article, which was to identify the effects of the crisis on the competitiveness of Czech agricultural trade, it may be stated that the crisis itself did not worsen the competitiveness of agricultural trade in any significant manner.
