Gavalcová, Lenka ; Očko, Petr (advisor) ; Souček, Martin (referee)
Náplní této práce je objasnit, jakým způsobem informační a komunikační technologie působí na vybrané ekonomické veličiny a nastínit možné výzvy, které staví před hospodářskou politiku. Nejprve je v práci vymezen samotný sektor informačních a komunikačních technologií. Poté je pojednáno o tzv. "nové ekonomice", termínu, který vznikl na konci devadesátých let minulého století a je spojený s pozorováním zvláštností hospodářského cyklu ve Spojených státech amerických. Prozkoumán je vliv informačních a komunikačních technologií na ekonomický růst, produktivitu, zaměstnanost a tržní prostředí. Naznačeno je působení globalizace. Pozornost je rovněž věnována nejvýznamnějšímu sociálnímu důsledku rozvoje ICT, tzv. digitálnímu vyloučení některých skupin obyvatelstva z přístupu k moderním technologiím. V závěru práce jsou rozebrány výzvy, které rozvoj informačních a komunikačních technologií staví před hospodářskou politiku státu.

Conceptual Structures As a Tool for Knowledge Representation
Ferbarová, Gabriela ; Ivánek, Jiří (advisor) ; Souček, Martin (referee)
(in English): Conceptual graphs are a formal knowledge representation language introduced by John F. Sowa, an American specialist on Artificial Intelligence, at the end of the seventies. They are the synthesis of heuristic and formalistic approach to Artificial Intelligence and knowledge procession. They provide meaning and knowledge in form, which is logically precise, human- readable and untestable, and it is applicable in the computing domain in general. Conceptual graphs can be expressed through a first-order logic, which makes them a quality tool for intelligent reasoning. Their notation CGIF was standardised by norm ISO/IEC 24707:2007 as one of the three dialects of Common logic, which frames the set of logic based on logic. Conceptual graphs are also mappable to knowledge representation languages standardised for the Semantic Web; OWL and RDF (S). This work introduces the conceptual graph theory in the context of scientific fields like linguistics, logic and artificial intelligence. It represents the formalism proposed by John F. Sowa and some extensions that have emerged over the past decades, along with the need for improvements to the representational properties of graphs. Finally, the work provides an illustrative overview of the implementation and use of conceptual graphs in practice....

Russian Exile and Inner Emigration - an Irregular History of a Cultural Phenomenon.
Souček, Martin ; Czumalo, Vladimír (advisor) ; Hrbata, Zdeněk (referee) ; Urban Otto, (referee)
In my dissertation "Russian Exile and Inner Emigration An Irregular History of a Cultural Phenomenon" I attempt to examine the issue of the Russian mentality against the background of Russian literary and intellectual trends over the course of one hundred years - from the December Revolt in 1825 to the period after the October Revolution in 1917. The phenomenon of inner emigration and exile, which is characteristic for this period of time, is examined through the use of authentic sources, that is solely literary and epistolary records, as well as through the Czech reflection of the Russian soul, as it was perceived and presented from the time of Masaryk and Slavík and after them by many Czech and foreign scholars up to the present. Examining authentic testimonies, the aim of the work is to make the point that despite the confrontation with European rationalist influences, the Russian world and the so- called Russian soul essentially always retained a spiritual dimension from the Eastern civilizations, based not on rationality but on sensation, not on scholastic argumentation of the external existence of God but on a realization of the unity and the inner interconnection of the material and spiritual world.
