The article analyses the geographic mobility of the Jewish population in Bohemia along to Register of Jewish Families compiled in 1793. This important source is the most complete census of Czech Jews. Jews in Bohemia were quite mobile: almost one-quarter of the Jewish population (7378 out of 38 594) was located for long periods or permanently outside their place of birth. Most often they migrated within a distance of 50 km, usually remaining in one demesne or within the limits of a region. So-called 'familiants', family heads legally permitted to practise trades and other businesses, also migrated shorter distances with their families. The farther the distance migrated, the larger the number tended to be of free Jews looking to earn a livelihood in the form of paid labour. Migration beyond the borders of Bohemia did not occur frequently. It was mainly male Jews who could be found living outside their place of birth, and those Jews who migrated beyond Bohemia's borders were almost exclusively men. From a professional perspective religious leaders and members of the intellectual class (mainly teachers) were the most mobile strata in the Jewish population.

Our aim in the contribution was to outline the genesis of tourism in the western part of the Nízke Tatry Mountain. The main emphasis was put on the analysis of the factors determining and forming tourism, the most important were the natural potential, the development of the spa, the development of tourism, the development of transport and the socio-economic development of the Horehronský region. At the end of the paper, we have specified the periods in the development of tourism, such as the beginning of tourism (from the first mention of the territory until the end of the 19th century), period of the development of tourism (from the 19th century to 1945), the period of mass tourism (1946-1989), period of the transformation of tourism (1989-2000) and period the spatial growth of tourism (2001 – present).

First names in the range 5–10, given in the years 1995–2010, are, as a matter of fact, rare names. In general, the specific names are given once or twice in individual years. The geographic distribution also shows that concentrations of the names being studied are not observed in any region. Only Mazowieckie voivodeship shows names from this range being given a large number of times. It appears that parents from central and southwestern Poland are more prone to give their children rare names than is true in the eastern and northern regions of the country. Among rare feminine names, particularly popular types of names cannot be distinguished. Names chosen for boys, on the other hand, show that there are fewer “exotic” names among them, but more “old-fashioned” names, old Polish or mythological. Also, diminutive names are used to function as official names more often than for girls. If one compares the geographical distribution of diminutive names of girls and boys, it is evident that the tastes of parents choosing these names overlap regardless of gender: most often chosen in Mazowieckie and Śląskie voivodeships, least often (or not at all) in Świętokrzyskie and Podlaskie voivodeships. Conventional names, both for girls and for boys, are most willingly chosen in Śląskie voivodeship, but are not popular in Świętokrzyskie. Full old Polish names (male and female) are most noted in Mazowieckie and Małopolskie voivodeships; but however prone parents within Dolnośląskie voivodeships are to give boys such names, they are not popular among girls. For both feminine and masculine groups of names, a large number of variations are observed, phonetic, graphic, and from other languages. Also striking is the large number of names incorrectly spelled. If one compares the names being studied with earlier lists, it is quite clear that a large group of names appears only in 1995, or at most, during the years 1990–1994. Other names, after years of “oblivion,” begin to be used for nomination once more, while others lose popularity. Why this happens is difficult to say. Certainly globalization plays a significant role, finding expression in a larger and larger share of names in Anglo-American linguistic versions, as well as modeling after diminutives given as official names in that cultural domain.

The geography of education is a young field of research. This article makes two innovative contributions to knowledge about the evolution of this body of work. First, it presents a three-fold history of the field, delineating distinct phases in its development. Second, it draws out both linkages across, and disparities between, geographies of education in different language traditions. The analysis includes longer established German-language, Francophone and Anglophone oeuvres, as well as more recent Eastern European and global research. In combination, this attention to the temporality and spatiality of geographical debate about education provides a unique introduction to the field.

The geographical work of A l - I d r i s i, 'Nuzhat al-mushtaq fi khtiraq al-afaq', written for King Roger II, is well known, but its second treaty, the 'Uns al-muhadj wa-rawd al-furadj', it only came under scrutiny twenty years ago. A l - I d r i s i made the plan of the 'Uns' like that of the 'Nuzhat'. The world is divided into climates, with each climate being divided again into ten sections. The study of some parts of the 'Uns' shows that it is not a simple summary of the 'Nuzhat', but a rewriting with some additions, especially for Africa and the Meditteranean Europe. Poland and the Central Europe is situated in the third section of the sixth climate. But in this case, the text and the map are composed of a geographical material extracted from the 'Nuzhat', without real new information.

The main goal of this article is to assess changes in land use in recent industrial areas as a result of the implementation of market economy principles. Krakow has been chosen as an example because industrial production had a leading economic function under the centrally planned socialist economy. The author analyses in greater depth two selected urban blocks (spatial units surrounded by roads) situated in one of the 26 industrial-warehouse units that existed in the 1980s at a distance of 1.3–2 kilometres from the Main Market Square. He made use of various materials obtained during field research he carried out for his dissertation in 1983 and for this article, in August 2011. They enabled him to trace the evolution of land use over a period of nearly 30 years. His research uncovers essential changes in land use of the urban blocks analysed. Extensively used industrial and railway areas have been replaced by service areas (e.g. administrative, trade, tourist), residential areas (with multi-occupant high-standard housing), transport areas (road transport) as well as green spaces with modern architectural forms and technological designs.

This study seeks to subject to scrutiny a range of data concerning some regional variants of the Berber language in medieval Maghreb. Offering information taken from different types of Arabic sources, we examine concepts of “language” possibly embodied in the term lisān (plural alsina, alsun), and of “dialect(s)” illustrated by the use of the word lugha (plural lughāt). The content presented enables an exploration of the ideas that Arabic writers used the language as an instrument for transmitting facts, and thereby establishing the outlines of debate as to whether the Berber language occupied a privileged position in medieval Maghrebian society.

Geographical terminology is an integral part of historical and contemporary landscape in the Czech Lands. Many roots of contemporary geographical names are of pre-Slavonic origin, for example Celtic or Germanic. The origins, development and transformations of geographical terminology reflect the relationship of man (society) towards landscape on the level of spatial knowledge, orientation in space and the mastery of it. Geographical terminology thus reflects not merely the landscape character and unique characteristics of many different landscapes but also the spiritual and ideological dimension of the individual developmental stages of human society. In particular, written resources and maps preserve the inheritance and transfer of geographical names, in addition to generational human memory, albeit merely for a limited period. Geographical names are monitored and researched by specialists from many scientific disciplines, especially linguists, geographers, geodesists, historians and historical geographers, sociologists and lawyers. Geographical terminology makes its mark in applied research and practice. Geographical names have been and continue to be integral parts of everyday reality in the broad sphere of human performance, deliberations and decision-making. Geographical terminology is a living entity which undergoes continuous development and transformations. It is a reflection of landscape-forming and historical processes, a remnant of mutual relationship between two phenomena, landscape and society. This reflection forms a mental map of landscape in the human mind, which is influenced by a geographical and cultural-historical awareness of their inhabitants. Although geographical names have been transcribed and continue to be transcribed, in conjunction with the strata of new countries and ruling human societies, with some definitely disappearing in some regions or with completely new ones emerging elsewhere, their traces are transferred from generation to generation through the intermediary of historical primary sources. Geographical terminology with its emotional and ideological value and contents remains part of landscape's memory, whether in landscape itself, in human memory or historical sources. In the Czech Lands the tradition of collecting, documentation and research of historical geographical names dates back to the mid-19th century. The observance of important changes in terminology in the past, alongside the research of their causes leads to a better understanding of the genesis of the wealth of terminology and their preservation as part of the cultural heritage of the Czech Lands.

Particles as a special part of speech have been defined in the Slovak linguistics in connection with preparation of the academic Morphology of the Slovak Language (Morfológia slovenského jazyka, 1966). In the article we pay attention to a survey of their inventory in this work and in dictionaries of standard Slovak, as well as in dialectological works. We draw attention to the geographical provenance of some particles, which have penetrated into the standard language from artistic literature. The all-Slovak research of the dialect vocabulary brings a lot of new information about expressions belonging to this part of speech. It proves that dialects, as naturally evolving forms of the national language, have a large set of expressions of different origin and geographical distribution, by means of which the dialect users contextualize themselves or express their attitudes to the content of the statement.

We received observations from PESEL on the number of appearances of given names for use for research purposes. I chose names which are lately, according to my knowledge, very popular and compared their numbers, as well as the frequency of bearers of names, with the names included in the dictionary of Józef Bubak and the dictionary of Jan Grzenia published later, in 2002. I also used in my article the observations of Professor Edward Breza and the conclusions of the committee appointed by the Polish Language Council (consisting of Prof. Irena Bajerowa, still living at the time, Prof. Julian Kornhauser, and myself, Prof. Aleksandra Cieślikowa) to evaluate the names presented by Prof. Breza. The number and proposals for studying corresponding names (on the basis of the materials provided by PESEL) are in the article. Proposals regarding double letters (sounds) and frequently used diminutives (Kuba) were the subject of discussion at the plenary session of the Polish Language Council. Not all the committee’s proposals were accepted, which is discussed in the above article.

CENTRAL EUROPE IN LITERARY STUDIES

The paper offers a delineation of Central Europe from the viewpoint of literary studies. Central Europe as a cultural and geographic space or a crossroad between East and West is characterized by the changing position of unstable centres and peripheries, and by a fusion of ethnic groups, cultures and religions. The territorial principle of mutual “contacts” led to an intense communication and exchange of literary values, to understanding, but also to encounters of artistic traditions and poetics, norms and conventions. The metonymic motivation of this communication, which results rather from “neighbouring” contacts than from the genetic relation among the languages, gave rise not only to the process of inter-culturality but also postulated the myth of cultural unity. While minimalist concepts work with binary oppositions (we and them, ours and theirs, centre and periphery, etc.), which characterize this space as a specific region of small Slavonic and non-Slavonic nations between Germany and Russia, the maximalist concepts sees Central Europe mostly from the axiological point of view as a set of historically developed ideas related to the tradition of Latin Christianity. From the viewpoint of literary studies, the question is whether one observes its ideologemes on the level of genre, poetics and style, i.e. in the very literary structures. Some literary scholar contend that we can decipher the Central Europeanisms of the inter-poeticity of artefacts (as certain timeless cultural models and constants) in the Central European variant of the grotesque, the irony, the satire, the cabaret or the post-modern prose. The paper also summarizes the views of literary theorists on the phenomenon of Central Europe.

The traditional geopolitical idea of a union between Russia and Heartland does not conform to historical facts. If we conceive of the geopolitical axes as interconnections between the centres of power, we can identify three to five such axes: (a) towards Constantinople; (b) across the Baltic region and the Polish-German lowlands; (c) along the Black Sea; (d) towards Persia and the Golden Horde; (e) the Far East Axis. As a result, however, the core of the Russian statehood is not situated to the east of the Urals but rather to the west of the latter, i.e., on the East European plane. Fluctuation in the meaning and significance of these axes attributes the central role either to Kiev or to Moscow. This also helps to understand the unique role of Novgorod not only as a power centre but also as an alternative solution to the unification and arrangement of Russia.

The paper is focused on historical connotations of the Tell el-Retaba site to its geographic position with regards to hydrologic and pedologic situation. It suggests the position of Wadi Tumilat on the Peutinger map and persistence of desert (military) routes in the area around the Wadi. The river aggradation mound ascertained in Tell el-Retaba allows us to suggest an existence of natural riverbeds or a canal in Wadi Tumilat even before the Second Intermediate Period. The paper also brings some pedological explanations to origins of settlement. It presumes that besides the canal on the western and southern side of the Tell a marshland/swamp could also originate on its northern side, after the settlement occurred on the Tell. The occupation probably developed directly on the Bw horizon of original soil, as agricultural or grazing settlement. The humiferous A horizon was removed prior to construction.

This article defines GIS applications; it summarises their genesis and the history of their use; it describes their application especially in the humanities with an emphasis on historical disciplines. Examples of seminal HIS-GIS systems created abroad are given and scientific platforms where these outputs are presented are mentioned. It introduces in more detail the new Czech web map portal of the Historical Town Atlas of the Czech Republic created on the GIS principle in 2010. In connection with GIS issues, the author draws attention to a number of web map servers and web map portals available to the historian to utilise in his work. Old maps are often part of these portals. The process of digitalisation is closely linked with old maps in an internet environment and the author summarises this and describes various stages of the subsequent processes dealing with digitalised maps.
