Tento text se zabývá vývojem časopisu Mezinárodní vztahy (dále MV) v letech 2000–2017. Jedná o jednu ze tří dosavadních hlavních etap novodobé historii vývoje po roce 1989. V první etapě, tedy do roku 2000, časopise neexistovalo oboustranně anonymní recenzní řízení. základní atribut moderního vědeckého MV získaly právě uvedeném roce. S tím začíná druhá zásadní etapa. ní pojila existence standar...

OBJECTIVES To identify progress and challenges in mental healthcare in South Africa, as well as future mental health services research priorities. METHOD A systematic review of mental health services research. Literature searches were conducted in Medline, PsychInfo and Sabinet databases from January 2000 to October 2010 using key phrases. Hand searches of key local journals were also conduct...

This work describes FSVC (Fully Scalable Video Codec), a scalable video compression system which is able to generate temporal-, spatialand quality-scalable video streams. FSVC is very suitable for video-on-demand applications where a single version of the compressed video sequence is used. A video server can provide video streams to several clients with different visualization and band-width re...

In this paper, we address the problem of scrambling regions of interest in a video sequence. We target applications such as video surveillance preserving privacy, anonymous video communications, or TV news safeguarding the anonymity of a source. We propose an efficient solution based on transform-domain scrambling. More specifically, the sign of selected transform coefficients is flipped during...

Prior studies have shown that the IT innovation capability, a company's ability to innovate systematically with IT, is not easily replicated (persistent), and the persistence tends to be more pronounced during periods when economy-wide IT budgets are declining (hard IT budgets), such the post-Y2K period. Building on resource based view we argue that companies that systematically innovate with I...

This publication proposes a strategy to enhance the compression performance of Motion-JPEG2000 by the reduction of interframe redundancies. This is achieved by a new frame structure allowing to remove redundancies and to reconstruct the original stream without loss. The introduced advancement is able to increase the compression e ciency and keeps other bene cial property of the traditional code...

Y2K presented a formidable (albeit welldefined) challenge: find the date problems and fix them (see our “Congratulations” in the accompanying sidebar). Post-Y2K presents a more formidable challenge: a...

Image transmission with JPEG2000 can be speeded up by using regions of interest (RoIs). By such a mechanism, parts of an image not belonging to RoIs can be transmitted later or encoded at a lower bit rate. This paper describes a flexible dynamic RoI-scheme which supports the definition and handling of arbitrarily-shaped RoIs in JPEG2000. The scheme supports the dynamic definition and prioritiza...

Mainstream Information Technology professionals have misunderstood the Pick environment for many years. The Pick environment has been conceived, designed and built with business solutions as its key driver. At its heyday there were over 3,000 business applications available across a very wide range of hardware platforms supporting from 1 to thousands of real time users. The tentative economic r...
