The main goal of the paper is to present some theories of religious thinking from the perspective of Cognitive Science of Religion (CSR) – standard and extended model, evolutionary approach to religious cognition. The main focus of CSR is on unconscious processes such as thoughts, biases, emotions, and motivations. Cognitive scientists of religion are interested in exploring the causal mechanisms that might account for the recurrent patterns of religious beliefs and practices. This need not be in confl ict with the religious or theistic explanation of religion, in contrary, it can help a better understanding of how religious concept are spread, remembered, developed and entrenched in human mind. The results of CSR can help us to understand the link between natural religious thinking, religious doctrine and practice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present study considers semantic features of a specific group of lexical units of English origin - with the terminal suffix -ing - that are functioning in the contemporary Slovak language. The aim of our research is to investigate their semantic adaptation within contemporary journalistic genres. The research sample is to be studied in the framework of the journalistic texts corpus from the database of the Slovak National Corpus utilizing the search tool Sketch Engine. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article consists in a thorough analysis of various Czech translations of the early poems of French Symbolist poet Stéphane Mallarmé. The main difficulties arise from Mallarmé’s omnipresence in Czech literary culture, together with a tendency to adapt his poetry to fit the mood of changing historical contexts and expectations. Many Czech poets — some of the most prominent — have dealt with Mallarmé’s poetry, and its influence cannot be limited to a simple matter of translation. Among other things, it has thoroughly permeated Czech poetry in a specifically political way, as we see for example with Hrubín’s historic address to the Convention of Writers in 1956. The overall aim of this paper however is to present a detailed examination of two Parnassian poems by Mallarmé as translated by F. Dohnal, E. Lešehrad, K. Čapek, V. Nezval, F. Hrubín, O. Nechutová, V. Mikeš and J. Pokorný. Based on a series of observations that have mainly to do with semantics, prosody and the translators’ overarching strategies, the authors come to the conclusion that the early Czech translations depend too much (if not word-for-word) on the French originals, and on Parnassian poetical principals. A sensible change comes with K. Čapek. It is, however, F. Hrubín, himself an acclaimed poet, who offers the most convincing translation, at least if we take into consideration such traditional or conservative criteria as precision and accuracy.

Only few topics stir more attention of scientists, politicians, economists, environmental activists, managers of industrial companies and common population all around the globe than the issue of the climate system changes on the Earth, because the related impacts can be observed by every one of us in our neighbourhood – whether as extreme weather changes or as biodiversity changes. The author in his paper analyses international agreements regulating the climate change area, their development and contents. Special attention is being paid to analysis of the development of the international law regulation before the international codification in the area of climate changes. Finally, individual provisions of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement are being analysed as key sources of the international public law in the area of the protection of global climate system. Their successful or unsuccessful implementation will have an impact on our, not so distant future.
