Analysis of key actors in the process of redefining rape in the Czech Republic
Halašková, Klára ; Čapek, Jakub (advisor) ; Šimková, Anna (referee)
This bachelor's thesis deals with the very recent process of redefining rape in the Czech Republic. Through qualitative research, it provides a unique analysis of the actors and discourse leading to the proposed amendment of the Criminal Code. The aim of the thesis is to identify the key actors who have played the biggest role in the discourse, to examine how they approach the issue and how they evaluate the cooperation towards a better definition of rape in the Czech Republic. The existing definition of rape in the country does not include the huge number of rapes that happen, for example, due to the so-called freezing of the victim who cannot defend themselves. A part of our society and criminal justice authorities often believe many stereotypes and myths about sexual violence and downplay the issue. The theoretical part is devoted to an introduction to the issue and the definition of important concepts. The empirical part is based on data obtained from semi-structured interviews with key actors, their subsequent analysis and the results of the research. The research identifies the main actors as NGOs, Konsent and Amnesty International, and the main initiators of debates at the policy level, Taťána Malá and Klára Kocmanová. The research results also revealed some of the actors against...

The Phenomenology of the World in Eugen Fink's Thought (1928-1938): Pre-Givenness, Non-Being, Phenomenality
Antálek, Rudolf ; De Santis, Daniele (advisor) ; Čapek, Jakub (referee)
For Eugen Fink, the concept of the world plays a crucial role throughout his philosophical career. The aim of the present thesis is to establish the vicissitudes of the world-concept in Fink's early philosophy, broadly matching with the time he spent as Edmund Husserl's assistant in Freiburg. Relying primarily on Fink's working notes, an effort is undertaken to reconstrue Fink's own position in a constant critical dialogue with not only Husserl, but also with the likes of Heidegger, Kant, or Hegel. Especially over the second half of the thesis, Martin Heidegger emerges as Fink's main partner and likewise the main target of Fink's criticism. Attempting to read Fink's world-concept primarily as a response to Heidegger against the backdrop of the latter's philosophy, the thesis proceeds towards Fink's meontic phenomenology as a medium only through which the transcendence proper and consequently the world itself become appropriately thematizable.

Early Local Elections. Case Study of the Ústí Region
Děcká, Dana ; Jüptner, Petr (advisor) ; Čapek, Jakub (referee)
The bachelor thesis examines early local elections in the Ústí nad Labem region. The thesis aims to quantify the phenomenon of early local elections and to determine their circumstances and impacts. Their occurrence is examined in the last completed electoral period, i.e. between 2018 and 2022. The thesis uses mainly data from the Czech Statistical Office, personal interviews and documents of individual municipalities, which are mainly minutes of municipal council meetings. Using these data, the situation since the 2018 regular elections is described. Within the regular elections, the election results are interpreted and the situation in each municipality is described. Subsequently, the causes of the elections, the reasons for the resignation of councillors, the results of the extraordinary elections and, last but not least, the consequences that are related to the holding of early local elections in the individual municipalities of the Ústí nad Labem Region are mapped. This is directly related to the deduction of the possibility of preventing their holding through substitutes and the identification of changes in the municipal council and changes in the position of the mayor of the municipality. The work does not avoid the current electoral period, mostly because of the consequences, and in some...

FROM THE END
Krausová, Radana ; Čapek, Jan (referee) ; Tobola, Ondřej (advisor)
The bachelor thesis focuses on designing a cover for a multisensor fire alarm. The project originated in collaboration with the company LITES, which specified the requirements for the alarm cover. The main objective is to create a product suitable for various interior types and capable of integration with other end elements in the space. The design is conceived for installing the alarm either directly on the ceiling or for recessing it into the ceiling. Manufacturers and sellers of these devices are increasingly recognizing the importance of visual communication in the user interface of fire alarms. If the end element is too conspicuous or detracts from the overall impression of the room, it can evoke considerable aversion from the user. The work is based on simple geometric shapes such as cubes, spheres, and cylinders, and their subsequent perforation. This decision stemmed from the effort to streamline the shape of the cover from unnecessary elements. For the alarm design, I chose the shape of a cylinder, which best meets the requirements for installing the alarm and its function in the space. In my opinion, it is important to perceive the alarm as an accessory in the space, not just as a technical element. This idea significantly changes the approach to the product and therefore also the approach to its design.

Influence of the intensity of begging on the rate of predation in the common sandpiper and common cuckoo
ČAPEK, Jan
In this research, I examined whether the louder calls of the common cuckoo (Cuculus canorus), a nest parasite, would increase the rate of predation on the nest of the red-backed shrike (Lanius collurio), whose nestlings call at a lower volume. The experiment was conducted during both the nesting season of the red-backed shrike, primarily in June, and in the autumn of 2023. During the spring trials, nests were situated within bushes, whereas in the autumn trials, they were positioned on the ground. Each experiment involved three nests, each subjected to a distinct audio recording: one featuring the vocalizations of a young common cuckoo, another with those of nestlings of the red-backed shrike, and a third serving as a silent control. Predation rates were assessed across these nests to determine whether certain recordings elicited higher predation rates compared to others.
