The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of foreign ownership and directorship on sustainability disclosures of non-financial listed firms in the developing countries. Sample consisted of 30 firms across the seven sectors of non-financial listed firms in Nigeria, covering a period of 5 years, 2016 – 2020. Analysis of data collected was carried out from three perspectives, first content analysis of sustainability quantity and quality disclosures by the sampled firms, using 97 indicators based on the GRI 2016 standards was carried out, with the 30 firms divided into two, firms with and without foreign ownership and directorship. The result was analysed using t-test to determine whether there was a significant difference between the means of the two groups. Then correlation between sustainability disclosures and foreign ownership and directorship was determined. Finally, an ordinary pooled regression analysis was carried out to determine the effect of foreign ownership and directorship on sustainability disclosures. T-test results showed positive significant difference between sustainability reporting quantity and quality disclosures of firms with and without foreign ownership and directorship. It was also found that sustainability quantity and quality disclosures were positively correlated with foreign ownership and directorship. Furthermore, the regression analysis showed that foreign ownership has a positive significant effect on sustainability quantity disclosure at 5% (0.150) but an insignificant effect on sustainability quality disclosures. Foreign directorship has positive significant effect on sustainability quantity and quality disclosures at 1% (9.731) and 5% (6.466) respectively. It is recommended that sustainability reporting should be made compulsory by the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria, having adopted the first two standards issued by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB).

Published: February 2024

We developed a new technique for generating three-dimensional monostatic inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) images using various types of polarimetric information on targets. To remove clutter around a target, we adopted the CLEAN method, in which only the main signals were reconstructed using an iterative algorithm. We conducted a simulation as follows: electric field data that were subjected to polarimetric scattering were obtained for the target using a full-wave electromagnetic analysis simulator. The linear polarization data of a 2 × 2 matrix were compressed into the linear to circular polarization data of a 2 × 1 matrix using the Jones vector based on circular polarization. On the grounds of the post-processed data, inverse Fourier transform was carried out to map scattering points to the spatial domain, after which the CLEAN method was used to retain only the primary scattering points.

In wireless power transfer (WPT) systems, the electromagnetic fields generated by a charging module may exceed the limits set by international safety guidelines. This is a matter of concern for the safety of users of high-power WPT systems, such as electric vehicles (EVs). To address this issue, this study designed a stationary WPT system for EV charging. Furthermore, the dosimetry of the system was evaluated for two exposure scenarios. Electromagnetic field data obtained using the electromagnetic field analysis tool were employed to derive the induced quantities in the human body using the impedance method. In addition, the obtained results were compared to the values recommended by international guidelines (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection).
Theoretical and Experimental Investigation of N-Bit Reconfigurable Retrodirective Metasurface
Authors: Jung Hae-Bin , Lee Jeong-Hae
Published: February 2024

The PIN diode-based N-bit reconfigurable retrodirective metasurface (N-bit RRDM) is a next-generation retro-reflector that offers the advantages of effective electronical control of the retro-reflection angle, low loss, and thin planar structure. However, since the unit cell of an N-bit RRDM is controlled by a quantized N-bit phase (360°/2N), it encounters operational errors, such as beam gain reduction and spurious beams. This can be a fatal disadvantage in military radar or satellite communication, which requires accurate beam tracking. This paper theoretically analyzes the operation of the N-bit RRDM by utilizing generalized Snell’s law and array factor theory. The analysis results present the design criteria for an N-bit RRDM that eliminates issues related to beam gain reduction and spurious beam errors. Furthermore, to verify the theoretical analysis results, High-Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) full-wave simulation and experimentation are conducted using the 1-bit RRDM.

Published: February 2024

This study proposes a folded cascode CMOS low noise amplifier (LNA) with transformer feedback, implemented using a 0.13-μm CMOS process for wireless local area network front-end module applications. Compared to a conventional cascode inductive source degeneration LNA (ISDLNA), the folded cascode ISDLNA significantly improved the input-referred third-order intercept point (IIP3) as well as the 1-dB compression point (P1dB) by ensuring a large voltage headroom. Furthermore, the designed LNA also achieved a low noise figure (NF), while also saving the silicon area by magnetically coupling the source and folding inductors. When tested experimentally, the proposed LNA showed an S21 of 11.0 dB and an NF of 2.6 dB, while achieving an S11 of -7 dB at the operating frequency of 2.4 GHz. The measured input P1dB and IIP3 were -5.6 dBm and +2.5 dBm, respectively. The power dissipation was 9.6 mW from a 1.2-V supply voltage.

Published: February 2024

Under the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic and a full-scale war in Ukraine, the lack of computer equipment for conducting online chemical experiments is experienced. In connection with the implementation of the New Ukrainian School and the development of STEM education, there was an urgent need to develop domestic educational computer equipment.

The Department of Physics and Chemistry of H.S. Skivoroda’s Kharkiv National Pedagogical University is developing the SchoolKit software-methodological complex (PMK), which is based on three universal software tools: ColorKit, ChemKit, SoundCardScientificKit. When creating applications, only free software is used, which ensures low cost and, accordingly, accessibility for a wide range of users. A computer polarimeter was developed based on the ColorKit software. A new principle of polarimeter operation is proposed, which is based on computer processing of the image that occurs when optically polarized light is passed sequentially through an optically active solution, a transparent plate with internal tension, and an analyzer. A high-speed computer polarimeter based on a CMOS matrix was developed, a working model was manufactured and tested. The device differs from others since it uses a fundamentally new way of processing visual data and does not contain any mechanical components and polarization modulators. It is also easy to manufacture, and quite reliable. The polarimeter software allows data to be accumulated in the form of tables and displayed in real-time graphical form.

The computer polarimeter was used for two years during laboratory classes in the “Mechanisms of Organic Reactions” subject, including online mode. In particular, it was used to experimentally determine the constants of acid hydrolysis of sucrose at different temperatures, concentrations of acid and sucrose. Visual display of measurement results, stability of device operation and good reproducibility of experimentally obtained data allow intensification and/or optimisation of the education process due to the automation of polarimetric measurements. After some improvements and validation, the device is planned to be used in scientific research.

Published: February 2024

The study highlights the asynchronous nature of modern group chats and related problems such as retrieving relevant information on the asked question and understanding reply-to relationships. In this work, we formalize the reply recovery task as a building block toward solving described problems. Using simple heuristics, we try to apply the result reply recovery model to a thread reconstruction problem. As a result, we show that modern pre-trained models such as BERT show great results on the task of reply recovery compared to more simple models, though it cannot be applied to thread reconstruction with just simple heuristics. In addition, experiments have shown that model performance depends on the chat domain. We open-sourced a model that can automatically predict which message the particular reply responds to and provide a representative Russian dataset that we built from Telegram chats of different domains. We also provide a test set for a thread reconstruction task.

Published: February 2024

In task-oriented dialog systems, conversational agents have the means to plan the dialog to accomplish user tasks (e.g., order pizza). In chit-chat systems, there are no such straightforward tasks. Yet, in chit-chat dialogs people still pursue goals, but these goals are more abstract and thus less formalizable. In this work, we describe the development process of two goal-aware prototypes of a chatbot. The first prototype features entirely human-crafted scenarios for seven topic-specific (low-level) goals and a Goal Tracker service that detects these goals and monitors the process of their achievement. The other one combines pre-written utterances with response generation using DialoGPT model to cover the scenarios of four general (high-level) goals. The results show that introducing the concept of goals improves performance of a chit-chat dialog system. Qualitative analysis of conversations with the High-Level goals prototype demonstrates cases where a goal-aware chatbot outperforms the original one.

Published: February 2024

In this paper we describe a generative question answering system which relies on text or knowledge graphs to find supporting evidence. The goal of generative QA is to provide a natural full sentence answer relying on the relevant evidence. Unlike existing models, the system proposed here can generate full answers using knowledge base triplets as evidence and is not restricted to simple questions consisting of one triplet. The generation module is a pretrained encoder-decoder transformer. Additionally, we constructed a new dataset DSberQuAD to train and evaluate the generative QA system in Russian. The new dataset was constructed in a rule-based manner and is an extension of SberQuAD with full sentence answers for each question. The proposed model is a new SOTA for Russian KBQA on RuBQ2.0 dataset. All the code and data from this project are be available on GitHub 1 under Apache license.

Authors:   University of Gothenburg Gothenburg, Sweden, Voloshina Ekaterina , Leonova Polina ,   HSE University
Published: February 2024

The paper presents the principles of creating a database for research in lexical typology and describes the possibilities of its use as a linguistic resource. The database is built around semantic fields and frames, i. e. units of analysis in the frame-based theory of lexical typology. The database provides a universal format for storing the data; therefore, any project in lexical typology can be easily added. The database does not only store the data from previous research projects but allows anyone who wants to contribute to submit data via its web interface. The database includes examples provided by native speakers and manually annotated with translations, semantic fields, and frames, following the annotation principles adopted within the frame approach to lexical typology.

Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University Moscow, Russia, Veselov Arseniy , Eremeev Maksim ,   New York University New York, USA
Published: February 2024

In this paper, we introduce a novel approach to estimating the cognitive complexity of a text at different levels of language: phonetic, morphemic, lexical, and syntactic. The proposed method detects tokens with an abnormal frequency of complexity scores. The frequencies are taken from the empirical distributions calculated over the reference corpus of texts. We use the Russian Wikipedia for this purpose. Ensemble models are combined from individual models from different language levels. We created datasets of pairs of text fragments taken from social studies textbooks of different grades to train the ensembles. Empirical evidence shows that the proposed approach outperforms existing methods, such as readability indices, in estimating text complexity in terms of accuracy. The purpose of this study is to create one of the important components of the system of recommendation of scientific and educational content.
MANOR HERITAGE IN THE UNDERSTANDING OF K. G. PAUSTOVSKY
Authors:   A. M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Fedoseeva Maria
Published: February 2024

The change of state rhetoric and new developments of manor studies in the field of “manor topos” provide opportunities for a new reading of Paustovsky’s texts and the discovery of new facets of his work. The article comprehends Paustovsky’s attitude to the estate heritage, the image of the estate in the writer’s work, the features of the “manor topos” in his texts. Biographically rooted in the Russian manor culture, Paustovsky was the bearer of its best sides, the heir and defender of national cultural traditions. In Paustovsky’s penchant for a rustic lifestyle, we see a manifestation of the “manor habitus”. The traditional “manor topos” - an old house and garden - become a favorite topos of the writer. The influence of the manor way of life affected - sometimes paradoxically - the plots of many of his works. Despite the fact that Paustovsky shows the death of the Russian manor world, in fact it turns out that he does not disappear. Over the centuries, the accumulated cultural capital and cultural potential of the estate, changing, become the most important national resource.
RELATIONSHIP OF THE CATEGORY OF “OLD AGE” AND ESTATE IMAGES IN THE STORIES OF K. G. PAUSTOVSKY IN THE 1930-1960S
Authors:   A. M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Andreeva Valeria
Published: February 2024

The images of estates, estate life in Paustovsky’s stories organize the connection of heroes with the bygone era of the heyday of the Russian Empire and noble culture. In the stories of the writer of the 1930-1960s two different impressions are combined: on the one hand, there is a departure into the past of the forms and content of the former estate life. And in this case, the motive of old age, associated in the stories with images of the estate culture, is realized in the meaning of impotence, uselessness. On the other hand, Paustovsky shows the enormous spiritual forces that Russian life latently stores, depicts old people connecting times and bringing them to the present, where utilitarian meanings, high patterns of behavior and the idea of the primacy of spiritual values triumph. The old age and uselessness of the manor culture in Paustovsky’s stories is both a cruel reality and an illusion, which the author restrainedly and accurately exposes.

In the article on the material of the works included in the Collected works in 9 vol., K. Paustovsky’s individual-author’s representation about a garden is reconstructed. The author identifies a set of 13 significant characteristics associated in the linguistic consciousness of K. G. Paustovsky with a garden, among which: spatial, light, colour, parametric, odorative, auditory, temporal, temperature, humidity, anthropomorphic, evaluation, emotional and others. The article describes the specificity of the linguistic embodiment of the concept Garden and the peculiarities of visual and expressive language means actualization. The article reveals the uniqueness of the author’s visualization of the garden space, which is valuable in the light of the task facing cognitive scientists to create a full version of the conceptosphere of the Russian language, on the one hand, and to describe the linguistic personality of the master of the artistic word - on the other hand.

The present article views the opportunities of linguadidactical linked usage if textual and audiovisual materials of the works of K. Paustovsky, S. Esenin, I. Levitan and E. Grieg in the frame of a Russian as foreign language classroom. The base for linking present materials is the interaction of m their semiotics on the level of semantics and pragmatics, because the equivalent meanings and values on which the works of these authors base such as love of nature and landscape, which are in particular expressed in works chosen for this frame: “Birch tree” (Esenin), “A basket with fir cones” (Paustovsky), “The view of Oka” and “Birch tree grove” (Levitan) and “Morning” (Grieg). It is also their associative and metaphorical impact on the subject of the learning process which is diversely expressed as a denotator. The lexis of Russian works of K. Paustovsky and S. Esenin on the one hand, the equivalent lexis of the learner’s mother tongue on another hand and the sign system of Grieg’s musical work and Levitan’s landscape painting on the third - all of them have a common content plan, which allows to link them into one methodical frame and to compare their plan of expression in mother tongue, learned language, music language and the language of painting. Besides this the two last ones belong to the most motivated, associatively conditioned and metaphorical types of signs, which affects the cognitive paradigm, which is of current interest in linguadidactics, and is based on the correlation of the language and consciousness. Thus, the purpose of the present work is to reveal the semantical and pragmatical parallels between the semiotics of the works of the mentioned authors and to analyze their linguadidactical potential in teaching Russian as foreign language.

Published: February 2024

Em geral, a pesquisa é concebida como a busca de uma realidade original, da essência
da realidade. Da mesma forma, a prática de escrever é, na maioria das vezes, um ensaio com o
objetivo de mostrar a realidade existente, descrita pela pesquisa, mas filtrada pelo olhar de
cada elemento, pois cada sujeito vê, sente, vivencia o que observa através de um olhar já
elaborado pelo que se tornou ao longo de sua existência. Espera-se por uma realidade que
jamais será atingida, porque ela está no imaginário de cada ser pensante. Tudo o que captamos
da realidade são as interpretações que fazemos a partir de nosso próprio sistema de referência.
Nessa concepção, este trabalho é uma tentativa de atingir o outro lado da ponte. Um
caminho cheio de obstáculos e surpresas. Trata-se da visão de uma pedagoga, aberta a várias
possibilidades, inserida em um curso de especialização em Educação Matemática, em que os
demais alunos e também os professores, são matemáticos, permitindo o diálogo do
conhecimento, em suas várias perspectivas, nas trocas diárias. Ou seja, independentemente da
origem ou formação do sujeito, o sentimento de pertencimento a um dado grupo pode ser
estabelecido. Resumindo: “tentar ver de outra maneira os mesmos fatos”, isto é, em uma
abordagem transdisciplinar. Assim, se esta monografia conseguir fazer o leitor refletir sobre
sua conduta enquanto pessoa que habita este mundo como agente transformador, mais do que
responder à pergunta principal, terá sido totalmente plena de realizações.

Published: February 2024

O papel crucial dos materiais cerâmicos na odontologia, incluindo vidros de silicato, porcelanas e sólidos altamente cristalinos, é evidenciado pelo destaque crescente nas práticas protéticas, restauradoras e estéticas. A evolução notável das cerâmicas, especialmente as baseadas em feldspato e dissilicato de lítio, tem impulsionado sua preferência sobre as coroas em metalocerâmica, tradicionalmente consideradas padrão-ouro. A busca por altos padrões estéticos na odontologia contemporânea tem incentivado a adoção de restaurações metal-free, impulsionando o desenvolvimento desses materiais. Uma revisão abrangente da literatura, com base em critérios específicos, identificou 25 artigos relevantes. As cerâmicas feldspáticas, embora historicamente associadas à baixa resistência mecânica, mostraram resultados satisfatórios em estudos recentes, destacando sua aplicabilidade em tratamentos estéticos. No entanto, persistem limitações, especialmente em áreas de grande esforço mastigatório. As cerâmicas de dissilicato de lítio, por outro lado, têm ganhado destaque devido a suas propriedades mecânicas, resistência e longevidade. Estudos indicam altas taxas de sucesso, especialmente em procedimentos estéticos e reabilitadores. Além disso, essas cerâmicas mostraram excelente estabilidade de cor e adaptação marginal quando empregadas corretamente. Em conclusão, enquanto as cerâmicas feldspáticas continuam sendo indicadas para situações específicas, as cerâmicas de dissilicato de lítio emergem como uma opção versátil e confiável, atendendo aos requisitos estéticos e funcionais na prática clínica.

Published: February 2024

Após o nascimento as superfícies da mucosa oral do bebê são colonizadas por uma ampla gama de microrganismos que contribuem diretamente para o desenvolvimento do seu sistema imunológico. Espécies de Cândidas são fungos que estão presentes neste processo de colonização e geralmente colonizam a língua, palato, mucosa jugal e superfícies dentais do recém-nascido. A proliferação desses fungos é controlada principalmente pelo sistema imunológico do hospedeiro e fatores de virulência do fungo, porém, quando ocorre um desequilíbrio entre o hospedeiro e fungo causado por algum fator, doenças oportunistas, como a Candidíase Bucal, podem se desenvolver. O objetivo do presente estudo foi realizar uma revisão narrativa sobre os fatores associados ao desenvolvimento de candidíase bucal em recém-nascidos. Estado nutricional, baixo peso ao nascimento, estados imunossuprimidos, prematuridade, e sistema imunológico imaturo do recém-nascido foram alguns fatores associados ao desenvolvimento dessa patologia. Conhecer os fatores associados ao desenvolvimento da Candidíase Bucal é fundamental para identificação dos indivíduos de risco e assim, para que medidas de prevenção sejam propostas, além de melhor esclarecimento desta condição.
Síndrome de Down na Ortodontia: uma Revisão Narrativa da Literatura

A Síndrome de Down (SD) é uma condição genética não hereditária, autossômica, causada pela trissomia do cromossomo 21. É considerada uma das síndromes mais comuns na humanidade, afetando cerca de 2 em cada 700 nascidos vivos. Até alguns anos atrás, a expectativa de vida para portadores da SD era de 35 a 40 anos, contudo, nos últimos anos, essa expectativa aumentou significativamente, chegando a 58 anos. Esse avanço tem impulsionado uma maior procura por tratamentos dentários e ortodônticos.
Indivíduos com SD apresentam características físicas e psicossociais específicas que demandam consideração especial ao planejar e realizar tratamentos odontológicos. Este estudo tem como objetivo discutir e destacar as particularidades de interesse ortodôntico, assim como os tratamentos disponíveis na literatura atual para pacientes com Síndrome de Down.

A Síndrome de Sjögren é uma doença autoimune que impacta glândulas salivares e lacrimais, bem como em outros órgãos do corpo. Os cirurgiões-dentistas desempenham um papel crucial no diagnóstico precoce e no tratamento adequado, uma vez que podem ser os primeiros profissionais da saúde a identificarem os sinais e sintomas dessa síndrome, dada pela influência direta da síndrome na saúde bucal, levando a complicações como xerostomia, queilite angular, fissuras linguais, lesões cariosas, alterações na microbiota oral além de manifestações em crianças. Dessa forma, ainda que desafiador, o reconhecimento precoce é essencial para prevenir complicações, exigindo uma abordagem odontológica cuidadosa para melhorar a qualidade de vida dos pacientes.

ESCREVIVENDO - NOSSAS TRAJETÓRIAS PRETAS SENDO AFROCIENTISTAS
Authors: NOGUEIRA MARCELO VITOR RODRIGUES
Published: February 2024

Todo o processo de colonização, baseado na escravização da população negra, fez com que as representações sociais sobre a pertença étnico-racial fosse uma das questões muito importantes para a superação do racismo.

É comum encontrarmos jovens que não se identificam como negros/as ou negando essa pertença étnico-racial. Nem a população negra está isenta de reproduzir estereótipos relacionados a negação de sua identidade étnico-racial. Identidade é construção social, histórica e cultural. Por isso, como Neusa Souza nos alerta, precisamos tornar-nos negros/as. Assim, “Uma das formas de exercer autonomia é possuir um discurso sobre si mesmo”.

Nesta perspectiva foi realizada uma das oficinas formativas dos/as afrocientistas. O Prof. Marcelo Vitor Rodrigues Nogueira realizou oficinas de escrita com os/as bolsistas sobre suas identidades e a importância disso para romper com as diversas formas de racismo vivenciados por cada um de nós, no cotidiano. As ações são oriundas do Projeto “ACOLHIDA PRETA: Escrevivências”, aprovado no EDITAL PROEXC Nº 26/2023 - PROGRAMA DE OCUPAÇÃO DO CENTRO DE MEMÓRIA DA CULTURA NEGRA GRAÇA DO ACHÉ? 2023 - EDIÇÃO UFU 45 ANOS, coordenado pela Associação BAOBÁ, visando encontrar na arte a inspiração e promoção das escrevivências de pretos e pretas que aquilombam-se nos espaços acadêmicos. Nos indagando sobre: O que é ser preto/a? Um questionamento muito profundo e transformador.

A obesidade é atualmente uma pandemia nos países desenvolvidos e naqueles em desenvolvimento, e tem importante repercussão em mortalidade e morbidade. Ainda, a obesidade contribui para o agravamento da maioria dos fatores de risco cardiovascular, doença coronariana, insuficiência cardíaca e fibrilação atrial, entre outras. No Brasil, esti-ma-se que em adultos maiores de 18 anos a prevalência de excesso de peso atinja 60% da população, que a obesidade atinja 26% dos indivíduos, trazendo importante relação com morte e morte cardiovascular

A obesidade está relacionada a um risco aumentado de doença arterial coronariana (DAC), em parte devido à sua forte associação com dislipidemia aterogênica, caracterizada por concentrações elevadas de triglicérides e baixas concentrações do colesterol da lipoproteína de alta densidade (HDL-c). Houve nos últimos anos grandes esforços em pesquisas para elucidar os mecanismos que ligam a obesidade à dislipidemia aterogênica, tanto na presença quanto na ausência de resistência à insulina. Faremos uma revisão da epidemiologia da dislipidemia aterogênica e detalharemos os mecanismos moleculares da função dos adipócitos que são conhecidos e suas relações com a montagem e o metabolismo das lipoproteínas contendo apolipoproteína B em condições de saúde e nos estados de obesidade. Além disso, abordaremos a fisiopatologia do HDL-c baixo nos estados de obesidade e suas implicações para o risco de doença cardiovascular

Berdasarkan data observasi yang diperoleh, dibuat model untuk sistem yang diamati. Software arena digunakan untuk memecahkan masalah ini. Hasil yang didapat dari simulasi menunjukkan bahwa sistem proses mengalami kesibukan tingkat sedang yang menimbulkan antrian. Maka diberikan skenario alternatif perbaikan sistem yang diusulkan yaitu menambah server dengan tujuan untuk mengatasi masalah antrian. Rekomendasi perbaikan menurut hasil simulasi yakni perlu melakukan penambahan server yang semula hanya menggunakan satu server menjadi dua server sehingga kondisi antrian dapat dikurangi bahkan tidak terjadi
Don’t Look Up Climate Change
Dooming Boomers, Nihilistic Teenagers and Underfunded Scientists Against/For the World
Authors: Gruber Georg
Published: February 2024

Representations of the global climate crisis have permeated popular culture for over half a decade. We passively watch the environmental crisis unfold in entertainment media as the ecological collapse continues to forge on, seemingly inexorably. Adam McKay’s satirical apocalypse film Don’t Look Up (2021) delineates generational differences in social/political activism and non‑activism, participation in social media discussions about climate change, blaming others and taking responsibility for the climate emergency. This article shows that the film’s allegorical climate apocalypse represents a satire of intergenerational (climate) crisis communication, misinformation, and denial in contemporary US‑American news, popular media, and political discourse. The movie achieves this through intergenerational ideas and values and a satirical allegory that represents the climate crisis in various discursive fields.
Czech Catholic Modernism
The renewal of Catholic literature combined with social and ecclesiastical reform
Authors: Petráček Tomáš
Published: February 2024

In Central Eastern Europe the theme of the modernist crisis in the ecclesial milieu is still a hotly debated topic. In the Czech lands this phenomenon differs in a number of moments from other countries, for instance in that the Czech reformers openly called themselves modernists willingly since 1895, as the protagonists of the revival movement of Catholic literature. This study is divided into three parts. The first one outlines the development of Czech historiography of the modernist and anti-modernist crisis in the Czech lands, which has undergone a dynamic development especially in the last thirty years. In the second part, it summarizes its results and the current state of knowledge of this historical phenomenon. The author focuses here on the specific and unique elements of Czech modernism, for the understanding of which a broader historical context of the church history of the Czech lands is necessary. In the third part the author presents the current challenges and prospects of research in this area.
