The New Subversives - Czech Environmentalists after 1989
نویسنده
چکیده
Between the 1980s and late 1990s the Czech environmental movement has developed from two official national conservationist groups, which were recognized by the communist regime and which in their activities overlapped with more independent initiatives, into a complex network of diverse groups. Early in this past decade the standing of the environmental movement shifted from champions of democracy and esteemed reformers to elements dangerous to democracy. A cosy arrangement by which the movement was essentially integrated in the state environmental administration disappeared overnight when environmentalists were purged from state institutions following the 1992 general elections. The second half of the 1990s witnessed further diversification of the Czech environmental movement, its professionalisation and also moderation of the means it employs to pursue its goals. Environmentalists also refocused from “small” to “big ecology” today this movement addresses the whole range of environmental issues. Most recently, to many observers they have once again taken up the role of pioneers of civil society.

The Preparation, structural characterization, optical properties, and antibacterial activity of the CuO/Cu2O nanocomposites prepared by the facile thermal decomposition of a new copper precursor
Objective(s): In this study, a new copper precursor was prepared from the combination of Cu(CH3COO)2∙H2O (1 g in 5 ml of methanol) and benzoic acid (1 g in 5 ml of methanol) at room temperature. Following that, the copper precursor was calcined at the temperature of 500ºC and 600ºC for 1.5 hours to form CuO/Cu2O nanocomposites with the code numbers of CuO-1 and CuO-2, respectively. Materi...
