The Role of Characters in Japanese Visual Culture
Flesch, David ; Sýkora, Jan (advisor) ; Tirala, Martin (referee)
The main purpose of this thesis is the analysis of fictional characters, their role in Japanese visual culture and society in general. For a better understanding of the argumentation that follows in chapters 2 to 4, I first introduce the reader to the world of postwar Japanese visual culture, its most iconic works and characters. In the following chapter I observe fictional characters from a psychological and sociological standpoint, and highlight their significance for contemporary society. Chapters 3 and 4 are dedicated to some of the most significant subcultures in postwar Japan - the shojo and otaku. In each of these chapters I first offer a synopsis of their respective histories and proceed to analyze some of the main trends associated with these subcultures; trends that have subsequently led to a major shift in consumer culture and a significant popularization of characters, the character business and its products. I argue that the most significant phenomenon associated with shojo culture is kawaii, the aesthetic of cuteness. Kawaii is arguably one of the defining aesthetic categories of contemporary Japan and is closely linked to postwar visual culture and the character goods industry. In the case of otaku, passionate consumers and fans of visual culture and modern media, I have focused on...

The theoretical part describes the period of young adulthood that is specific exactly to a relationship build-up. The next part of the paper focuses on the phenomenon of love, problems of a partner choice and men's and women's specific expectations and emotional needs. The last chapter covers sexuality that is a natural part of relationships. The thematic areas are always accompanied by a pedagogical point of view because education has the significant impact in a partnerships formation. The practical part contains the survey of 60 respondents. The subject was young men's and women's expectations in a relationship. The main goal was to determine which expectations young men and women start a relationship with. The key result is the fact that men and women have different expectations in a relationship but they agree about the expectation of mutual love and understanding.

Heřmánková, Gabriela ; Dobiáš, Petr (advisor) ; Brodec, Jan (referee)
1 Resolving investment disputes from the perspective of case- law of international arbitration courts The purpose of my thesis is to analyse actual questions of international investment dispute resolution. In this research I would like to stress the differences between the institutional investment arbitration and the ad hoc investment arbitration while focusing on the ICSID Arbitration according to The Convention on the Settlement of Investment Disputes between States and Nationals of Other States followed by the Rules of Procedure for Arbitration proceedings and on the ad hoc arbitration according to the 1976 - UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules, as these two proceedings represent the most common modes of international investment dispute resolution. All my findings are going to be supported by relevant case-law of individual arbitration courts or by specialized publications. The thesis consists of three chapters. Chapter One is introductory. It contains a simple analysis of what an international investment dispute means. This introduction is followed by a brief description of the history of international investment dispute resolution and of the modes of an international investment dispute resolution. The findings of this chapter are based on the comparison of provisions of the bilateral investment treaties...

Germanic Brooches of the Early Roman Period in Bohemia
Černý, Martin ; Košnar, Lubomír (advisor) ; Musil, Jiří (referee)
This dissertation evaluates Germanic fibulae of the Early Roman Period found in the area of Bohemia. The catalogue mainly consists of ca. 740 already published brooches. For the purpose of this dissertation, many of them have been newly documented as well as some so far unpublished finds which are introduced in the appendix of the dissertation. The dissertation sums up our present knowledge of particular types and variations of fibulae and makes their chronology more accurate - based on various combinations of brooches occurring in graves. Alternatively it deals with their connection to certain sex, age and social status. The most common type of brooches is by far the group of the eye-brooches (ca. 300pcs). Regarding the dating, the author managed to cast doubt upon information about some of the brooches found in the literature. The analysis has proven a long survival of some types of fibulae. Key words: brooches - fibulae - Early Roman Period - Germans - Chronology

KSČM : The Prohibition Discourse
Chytil, Matěj ; Barša, Pavel (advisor) ; Slačálek, Ondřej (referee)
(English): The aim of the thesis is to analyse the discourse of exclusion of the Czech communism and the discoursive attempts to ban the communist party. It shall shed more light on its sources of thought as found in the Czech dissident movement, as well as on the conditions it has risen from after the Velvet revolution. We intend to point out that the two main concepts of the dissident thought are essential for the birth of the discourse - one is shaping it, while the other opposes. The influence of non-political discourses - such as legal or political discourse on the subject - are also given serious attention. Using the Critical Discourse Analysis toolbox of methods, we hope to enhance our knowledge about contradictory images of the Czech past that shape contradictory images of the communism as well.

Rights of minorities nations in Czechoslovakia and their application
Neumann, Miloš ; Kuklík, Jan (advisor) ; Kindl, Vladimír (referee)
IN ENGLISH This diploma thesis deals with the issue of the rights of national minorities and their application in the inter-war Czechoslovakia. The aim of the diploma thesis is to analyze this question in one particular region. For this purpose I chose a linguistic island surrounded by majority of other languae. Yet I tried to provide a view of as much as possible points of view. This linguistic island should therefore contain a people of surrounding majority who create linguistic minority in observed region. The candidate for the appropriate object exploration is some german linguistic enclave in the middle of czech settlements. Or a region of significant czech minority amid german speaking milieu. As the best option I finally chose so called Wischauer Sprachinsel with a German settlement surrounded by Czech-speaking majority. Since the 19th century, the region began to increase the share of Czech-speaking population, which resulted in matryoshka doll consisting of a minority in a minority, the phenomenon typical for Lands of the Bohemian Crown at this time. However, in order to better explain the issue, I chose to compare the situation in the Wischauer Sprachinsel with another sore point for the Czech ethnographic map. The ideal candidate was Litvínov region in the Sudetenland, which was a mirror...

Influence of Foreign Policy on Relationship of the Japanese Political Parties and Military in the Interwar Period
Kafka, Martin ; Labus, David (advisor) ; Sýkora, Jan (referee)
In this thesis I primarily studied the influence of foreign policy on the development of relations between Japanese political parties and the military in the interwar period. I studied the way in which political parties and military affected each other and which factors influenced the distribution of power on Japanese political scene. Furthermore I tried to show how these relations contributed to the rise of power of political parties and to their subsequent downfall, and how they affected the militarization of Japanese state and it's consequent course towards World War II. Therefore I focused the thesis on 1921 - 1936 period, in which the key events that formed the shape of Japanese state, at least until the end of World War II, took place.

Císařová, Kristýna ; Krol, Ellen Jacoba (advisor) ; Sedláčková, Lucie (referee)
The purpose of this thesis is to describe the phenomenon of Tijl Uilenspiegel character in the context of the Flemish literature after 1867. The thesis focuses on the comparison of two pieces of work of the Flemish literature - the novel De legende van Tijl Uilenspiegel by Charles De Coster of 1867 and its adaptation into a play by Hugo Claus with the emphasis on analysis of the influence of the Flemish Movement on the message of the work. The first chapter describes the medieval stuff around the character Tijl Uilenspiegel and brings an overview of important adaptation of this theme between 1967 and 1965. A two lever analysis of the novel is followed by chapters which are focused on the description of the social and political factors of the Flemish Movement in the 19th century and in the first half of the twentieth century. These are a literary text analysis and an analysis of the occurrence of the references to the Flemish nationalism. These two levels of the novel are later compared with the play of Hugo Claus. The literary analysis includes the analysis of the plot, narrative mode, time, place and motives of the novel. The reference occurrence analysis is divided into two groups - direct references (occurrence of the word Flanders and all the variations of this word) and indirect references...

Approach of Employment Agencies towards Elder Job Applicants.
Kajňáková, Zuzana ; Nekola, Martin (advisor) ; Hiekischová, Michaela (referee)
The Diploma thesis deals with discrimination of elder job applicants on the job market and focuses on employment agencies. As the population is getting older we need to deal with the necessity to keep workers on the job market longer. Elder people are facing the fact that employers prefer younger workers. Job centres fail in their role of arranging of a job for this group of people. The employment agencies serve as mediator between job applicants and employers and they are thus witnesses of this discrimination. The aim of this thesis is to explore the approach of the employment agencies towards elder job applicants by using the method of document search, semi-structured interviews and Focus Group. The thesis leads to a conclusion that employment agencies are participating on the discrimination as they mostly follow the age requirements stated by the employer. It is caused not only due to an ageistic attitude in a society. It is based on the situation in companies as the companies are not ready to include elder workers, especially manual workers. In case of higher positions the job applicants lack knowledge of foreign language skills. The thesis identifies tax concessions for employment of elder workers as the right instrument to motivate the employers to integrate them in the company.
