Chitra B. Divakaruni and her feminist take on Indian traditions
Rayová, Roxana ; Ženíšek, Jakub (advisor) ; Topolovská, Tereza (referee)
The thesis explores the way in which selected short fiction by Banerjee Divarakuni is reflective of her stance on Indian traditions. Divarakuni is seen as one of the most recent and eloquent female voices in contemporary Indian literature, one which re-evaluates the Indian tradition in the light of modernity and postmodernity. In these efforts, she is standing on the shoulders of centuries if not millennia of literature by women that both condones and critiques Indian tradition. And that is also the dichotomy that can be observed in what is widely seen as Divarakuni's masterpiece, the thematically-organized collection of short stories called Arranged Marriage. The thesis therefore seeks to establish the degree to which these stories criticize traditional Indian customs and values, and to which degree the stories portray the more benign aspects of that tradition.

The Terrible Twos: A translation and stylistic analysis of a passage of Ishmael Reed's novel
Šerých, Hedvika ; Ženíšek, Jakub (advisor) ; Chalupský, Petr (referee)
This bachelor thesis consists of two parts. The first is comprised of a side-by-side translation of five selected chapters from the novel The Terrible Twos from the English to the Czech language. The second, theoretical part is formed by a stylistic analysis of this translation. This part is further divided into multiple sections dealing with the morphological, lexical and the syntactical level of the two languages. The most developed level of these three is the lexical one since it was the most challenging issue that had to be dealt with. Both Czech and English source books formed the basis for the theoretical part. The authors of the prominent publications were for instance Dagmar Knittlová, Jiří Levý, and Peter Newmark.

Nezdara, Vojtěch ; Buchalcevová, Alena (advisor) ; Ženíšek, Jan (referee)
The design of web applications has significantly developed in the recent years. This work focuses on the changes in procedures in the development of web applications and related technologies. The main goal was to describe the contemporary state of art of the development of web applications and the attainment of modernity. Constituent parts of this work describe the historical development of technologies for web applications, a comparison of suitability of previously common technologies for a modern web, and the introduction of new technologies including their use. The theoretical part of this thesis describes the historical development of web applications, technologies for user interface usable on web, and technologies for the server side of web applications. Greater emphasis was given to the user interface since their alteration is more noticeable than the server section. In practical part of this thesis, the modern web application for METES system is developed. The application is developed using a React JavaScript library and a Laravel PHP framework. An emphasis was given to the explanation of individual principles of modern development of web applications, a description of the used technologies and their integration. The source code of a designed application is freely available in the public depository and is available to be used for a basis of a new project.

Levý, Jan ; Buchalcevová, Alena (advisor) ; Ženíšek, Jan (referee)
Diploma thesis Application of the Lean Startup method and MMSP methodology to the web software development deals with creating a new model called Lean Startup for software development. The new model enables new software startups to gain advantage of the Lean Startup approach, yet in the same time proceed in accordance to a specific software development methodology, namely the MMSP methodology. The theoretical part characterizes the Lean Startup method and its principal ideas, as well as it propounds a new graphic model organizing these respective ideas.

In conclusion of the theoretical part, a short summary of current software development methodologies is being made, as is a brief characteristics of the MMSP methodology. The practical part describes the establishment of an integrated model called Lean Startup for software development. The model is founded mainly on the software development management according to the MMSP methodology, which is accomodated to the basic Lean Startup concept, implying creation of a Minimal viable product and its subsequent incremental improvements based mainly on the evaluation of the new features via measured customer feedback. In order to complete the creation of the model in question, some expansions and changes of the MMSP methodology had to be made. These changes mainly concern the methodology development lifecycle, its roles, tasks and work products. The key ideas of the change were most importantly the implementation of customer feedback acquisition management, as well as the user experience management. The effects of this implementation include creation of new roles Innovative accounting coordinator and UX designer, corresponding tasks Innovation accounting management and User experience management as well as the introduction of the work products related to these tasks.
