The pressure to the environment protection within the concept of sustainable development and many national initiatives is constantly rising. This is also reflected in the field of transport. Currently, the issue of electro mobility is often discussed. Acquisition of eco-friendly cars or electric buses has the potential for improving the environment and greenhouse gas production situation. However, the acquisition cost and the operating costs of the electric vehicles generate a certain cost structure that is different compared to the diesel vehicles. The amount of state aid as well as possibility of such aid for purchasing electric bus still remains uncertain. The aim of this paper is to highlight the possibility of using life cycle cost analysis to quantify the support for the acquisition of electric buses against diesel buses with respect to the different structure of costs and the time value of money. This difference was set at the level Difference set to 22%, which is a required level for the co-financing from the government, self-governance or EU structural funds. In monetary terms, that means the amount of 132 000 € for an electric bus.
The article focuses on distant reading approaches and the ways literary studies can use these for research of various semantic fields of authors' corpora (or subcorpora).It provides a closer look at the methodological facets of these approaches, evaluates their adequacy and the possibilities of implementation of chosen linguistic methods in literary studies. These aspects are reflected in polemics with methods and conclusions presented in Richard Změlík's Konceptualizace barev v narativní fikci na pozadí kvantitativních modelů ([Conceptualisations of colours in narrative fiction on the background of quantitative models] Olomouc: Univerzita Palackého, 2019, 320 pp.), in which the author employed the methodology of distant reading on the corpus of fiction written by the Czech writer Jan Čep (1902 -1973). The paper aims at contributing to a wider discussion on quantitative methods of distant reading, their application in literary studies and the creation of authors' specialised and general reference representative literary corpora.
Over the last decades, the significant increase in digital resources has initiated research into the humanities and social sciences that is based on data, technology, and quantitative statistical methods. What all this research has in common is the concept of the digital humanities (hereinafter referred to as DH), which has even influenced the classic and perhaps most common approach to knowledge in the humanities -reading.Extensive digitisation of manuscripts, books, magazines, and other texts into electronic corpora has created a need not only to rethink and redefine the concept of reading and its variations (especially in relation to close reading and distant reading), but also to specify the methodology and possibilities of digital text analysis. This monographic edition of Slovenská literatúra aims to present digital literary research in the wider context of specific research programmes, projects, and infrastructures. This edition has been published with the support of the Slovak Academy of Sciences provided as part of the international scientific and technical cooperation project COST Action CA 16204: Distant Reading for European Literary History (1840 -1920).
The paper deals with problems of building representative digital literary collections of national literatures, in particular those of Slovak and Ukrainian literatures, within the international context of the project European Literary Text Collection (ELTeC). At the beginning text characterizes the requirements laid down on creation and representativeness of such a national multilingual literary collection, which is established as a result of the project COST -Distant Reading for European Literary History (1840 -1920) and analyzes various factors related to literary production in Slovakia and Ukraine. On the one hand, it includes a discrepancy between stronger partners of the project (socalled great European literatures) and weaker partners (so-called small literatures), on the other hand, the factor of accessibility of digital sources corresponding to the requirements of a project of this kind.
