1) Eva Frankova Title: Economic Localisation and Degrowth[SB1] Key words: economic localisation, economic degrowth Abstract This paper looks at [SB2] two concepts within the current ecological economic debate – [SB3] those of economic localisation and [DEL: of :DEL] economic degrowth. After introducing the context and definitions, the authors explore the interlinkages, common assumptions and arguments [DEL: as well as :DEL] [INS: in addition to :INS] the joint weaknesses and inconsistencies of the two streams of thinking. Both localisation and degrowth share similar values and also [DEL: on :DEL] [INS: at a :INS] [DEL: the :DEL] practical level, [DEL: both :DEL] [INS: they :INS] are proponents of [INS: a :INS] similar policy [SB4] and on-the-ground solutions. However, both also share unclear points. Definitions are not [INS: yet :INS] settled [DEL: yet :DEL] and the position (or opposition) vis a vis [SB5] mainstream economics [DEL: is variable :DEL] [INS: varies :INS] . Also, writings on these issues tend to be normative and idealistic rather than analytical and realistic. Whereas within the localisation texts[INS: , :INS] degrowth is not explicitly mentioned at all[SB6] , from the other side [SB7] connections exist and localisation is a usual item [SB8] among the degrowth principles and/or policy suggestions. However, a detailed analysis of its prerequisites and consequences is lacking[INS: , :INS] [DEL: and :DEL] hence problematic issues remain unresolved. These [SB9] include the question of how to limit the international flow of goods and services and yet retain the flow of innovations and ideas at the same time[SB10] , how to achieve this democratically, or how the difference in approaches towards global North and global South should be conceived[SB11] . It is argued that both localisation and degrowth argumentation could benefit from exploiting each others’ intellectual attainments and that the remaining uncertainties and inconsistencies need to be addressed rather than sidestepped[SB12] . Some suggestions for further dialogue between the two approaches are provided.

In 2006, the International Law Commission adopted the Draft Articles on Diplomatic Protection codifying existing customary rules and progressively developing new rules of international law dealing with the diplomatic protection[SB13] . By analysing [INS: the :INS] annual reports of [INS: a :INS] Special Reporter of the International Law Commission on this topic and the final results embodied in the Draft Articles, there is no doubt [DEL: about the intention of :DEL] [INS: that :INS] its authors [INS: intend :INS] to adopt a multilateral treaty [DEL: on :DEL] [INS: of :INS] the diplomatic protection in the future. This paper analyses the will of the states for this step in [INS: the :INS] context of newly developed rules contained in Article 8 of the Draft Articles granting the [DEL: s :DEL] [INS: S :INS] tate a right to exercise diplomatic protection in favour of refugees and stateless persons. Following the customary rules based on inadmissibility of claims lacking in a genuine link (generally expressed by the nationality of a natural person)[SB14] between them and a protecting state, the states used to decline to grant the protection to such persons. The Draft Articles create a link of a new quality between these subjects expressed by the "lawful and habitual residency" of refugees and stateless persons, thus extending their protection in international law. However, incorporation of Article 8 in a multilateral treaty may become a serious impediment to[INS: the :INS] successful adoption of such [INS: a :INS] legally binding instrument due to missing interest of states in[SB15] enlarging the protection to the politically exposed persons without any relevant link to the protecting state. This example shows that a progressive development of law may foil a codification attempt.[INS: :INS] [INS: :INS] 3) Petra Sachova Restorative Justice represents an important approach to the [SB16] criminal justice systems worldwide. Being its main perspective [SB17] the central role of the victim and assumed responsibility for loss and damage of the offender are those goals confronted with the current criminal justice system in [INS: the :INS] Czech Republic. Thus, the two main points of this study represent the meaning and the purpose of the punishment imposed [INS: [upon…?] :INS] and the extent of satisfaction [INS: [to whom…?] :INS] awarded in the Czech criminal proceedings. The Czech legislation on criminal law and the Czech criminal justice system itself are compared to the legislations and systems of countries that attemp[INS: t :INS] ed to incorporate the Restorative Justice framework in [INS: a :INS] more wider and open manner than the Czech one [SB18] has done. [DEL: A s :DEL] [INS: S :INS] pecial attention is given to the countries governed by [DEL: the :DEL] continental law. It is if of[INS: t :INS] [DEL: f :DEL] en argued that Restorative Justice might function well solely within the scope of Anglo-American law, where it has its [DEL: origen :DEL] [INS: origin :INS] . Th[INS: is :INS] [DEL: e :DEL] study claims that too little attention is paid to [INS: the :INS] potential that Restorative Justice offers in the indicated way to European countries, particularly to[INS: the :INS] Czech Republic and its criminal justice system.[INS: :INS] [INS: :INS] 4) Hana Surmova (Abstract for a conference) Unemployment is [DEL: relevant all-society :DEL] [INS: a :INS] phenomenon which [INS: is prevalent in all societies. It :INS] [DEL: brings :DEL] [SB19] [INS: has :INS] specific impact[INS: s :INS] not only [DEL: for :DEL] [INS: on :INS] [INS: [SB20] :INS] unemployed people, but also for their families. The [SB21] research is concerned with families affected by unemployment, [DEL: especiealy :DEL] [INS: especially :INS] families with unemployed women. [INS: The a :INS] [DEL: A :DEL] im of this qualitative research is [INS: [to produce a?] :INS] description of components of the marital relationship which are more affected by unemployment than others and [INS: to :INS] [DEL: finding :DEL] [INS: identify the :INS] coping strategies used by these families. Semi-structured interview[INS: s :INS] and [DEL: some :DEL] methods of family assessment (Family Crisis Oriented Personal Evaluation Scales, Family Hardiness Index, Family Environment Scale) [DEL: was :DEL] [INS: were used to investigate :INS] [DEL: conducted wi :DEL] [INS: the experiences of :INS] [DEL: th :DEL] eight families. The possible change of marital relationship in the context of unemployment is suggested to be perceived negatively. Preliminary results show [DEL: :DEL] that the families which performed well prior to the episode of unemployment have [DEL: less :DEL] [INS: fewer :INS] problems [DEL: with :DEL] [INS: in :INS] coping [INS: with :INS] their situation than families[INS: that might be classified as :INS] dysfunctional.[INS: :INS] [INS: :INS] 5) Fedor Tirsel The paper deals with [SB22] the text entry strategies designed for touchscreen devices. We argue that there is a need for a universal eyes-free text input method.[SB23] Afterwards[SB24] , the user is able to transfer his or her writing skill without device-specific training. We propose Orthographic Text Entry Strategy (OTES), an eyes-free text entry method based on orthographic symbol system input, and speech or non-speech output. The OTES aims to improve the entry rates and to reduce error occurrences. We also discuss various design combinations that may yield [INS: improvements :INS] [DEL: to :DEL] [INS: in :INS] a user’s experience[DEL: improvement :DEL] . With the online questionnaire we [DEL: found out :DEL] [INS: discovered :INS] how [DEL: are the :DEL] blind users [INS: become :INS] familiar with [INS: the :INS] Morse code and Braille.[INS: :INS] [INS: :INS] 6) Jana Zelinkova Theory of mind deals with the ability to understand[DEL: :DEL] [INS: the :INS] mental states of [DEL: the :DEL] other people. In the last decade, many studies have been conducted to determine how the human brain mediates [SB25] these processes. Up to now[INS: , :INS] published studies[INS: a :INS] suggested significant increase in neuronal activity congruently observed mainly in right and left temporo-parietal junction, superior temporal sulcus and medial prefrontal cortex. The aim of this study is to use spots from [INS: the :INS] national traffic educational campaign to the research of this ability. Functional magnetic resonance imaging [INS: (fMRI) :INS] data were acquired in fifteen health[INS: y :INS] 18-25 year old male volunteer drivers. During fMRI scanning, a series of twelve 30 seconds[SB26] long videos representing various types of traffic situations were presented to participants. Half of clips [SB27] from the campaign with a catastrophic end [DEL: was :DEL] [INS: were :INS] presented together with six control videos without [INS: a :INS] dramatic ending. [INS: The :INS] General linear model implemented in SPM5 software was used for analysis. We obtained the statistical parametric map depicting differences between two conditions. Significant increase[INS: s :INS] in neuronal activity [DEL: was :DEL] [INS: were :INS] observed mainly in both-sided superior temporal sulci without asymmetry. These brain areas were activated more strongly [DEL: during :DEL] [INS: while :INS] watching videos from the campaign in contrast to control clips. The next differences were observed in left supramarginal gyrus, cerebelum and midbrain. STS[SB28] is often mentioned in connection with theory of [INS: the :INS] mind and social perception. In a parallel way, STS activation also might be related to emotional processes and situation evaluation.[INS: :INS] [INS: :INS] ________________________________ [SB1]I would suggest hyphenating this word (de-growth) – unless this form is considered acceptable in your discipline…(?)
