ODA as an actor in the formation of the right and Czech conservatism
Brožová, Karolina ; Perottino, Michel (advisor) ; Franěk, Jakub (referee)
The thesis deals with the formation of the Czech conservative right with the Civic Democratic Alliance in the leading role. It describes how the party participated in the transformation of the political system and describes its most significant moments. Since the germs of right-wing thinking can be found in the communist environment, the thesis also captures the risks that this entailed at the time. The aim is also to capture the party's profiling on the political ground, so its basic political themes and electoral programmes, which were often difficult to grasp in political practice, will be portrayed. It therefore focuses not only on the party's achievements in a relatively short time interval, but also on the affairs that have had an impact on the party. From the first to the second section, the thesis discusses party theory, party families, and the two core ideologies that initially inspired the founders of the Civic Democratic Alliance in detail. The theoretical framework thus helps to understand the principles on which the party operated and the programmatic values it drew upon. From the third section onwards, the thesis analyses the Civic DemocraticAlliance in detail. It concludes by answering the main goals of conservatism and how this ideology took shape. It also assesses the role of the Civic...

Individualist or Communitarian? A study of the Presidential Campaign of Petr Pavel
Tichý, František ; Halamka, Tomáš (advisor) ; Franěk, Jakub (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with the analysis of Peter Pavel's inclination towards individualism or communitarianism during his presidential campaign in the period from 6 September 2022 to 27 January 2023. In the theoretical part, the thesis deals with the bases of individualism and communitarianism, their terminology, conceptualisation and use. On the basis of the studied literature, it then links these terms in, to a certain extent, innovative way to the political spectrum, instead of using other terms with which they are more usually associated. Since it does not find a coherent conceptualization of individualism and communitarianism in the literature, it creates its own conceptualization at the boundary between the theoretical and the practical part of the thesis. This conceptualization and knowledge acquired in the theoretical part is subsequently operationalized and a methodology is created, with the help of which it is possible to determine the inclination of politicians or public figures towards individualism or communitarianism. In the practical part, it then carries out a content analysis of statements made by Petr Pavel in his election program and in debates on the three largest Czech TV stations, i.e. Czech Television, TV Nova and Prima, which he participated in before the first and second...

Synodal process from the perspective of participatory innovations
Bernard, Tomáš ; Guasti, Petra (advisor) ; Franěk, Jakub (referee)
This thesis deals with the synodal process and democratic innovation. The main research objective is to determine whether the current synodal process, which began in 2021, can be described as a democratic innovation, specifically deliberative mini-publics, as it is a groundbreaking process that has been made available to all members of the Catholic Church for the first time in history. The research is based primarily on the theory of political scientist Archon Fung, who has written extensively on deliberative mini-publics. The thesis asks two main research questions. The first addresses whether, according to official Catholic Church materials describing the synodal process at the grassroots level, this process can be described as a deliberative mini-public. The research also selected two case studies focusing on two different parishes where the synodal process took place. The second research question was then answered by analyzing these two parishes to examine the fulfillment of selected design criteria of deliberative mini-publics. Based on the processed results of the analysis, it can be concluded that a level of fulfillment of the design elements was achieved such that the synodal process at the grassroots level was identified as a DMP. However, in answering the second research question, the...

Conservatism as a political ideology in Czech left-wing parties
Novotný, Jáchym ; Stauber, Jakub (advisor) ; Franěk, Jakub (referee)
This master thesis focuses on conservatism as a political ideology in Czech left-wing parties. The aim of the thesis is to answer several research questions. The most important one is whether elements of conservative ideology appear in the programs and other materials of selected Czech left-wing political parties. Subsequent questions build on the first one, aiming to determine in which periods conservatism appears in the programs and other materials of the examined parties and whether these parties deliberately seek to overcome the differences between conservatism and socialism, or whether they simply accept elements of conservatism that are not in conflict with left-wing ideologies. These questions are answered through content analysis of the programs and other materials of three political parties: the Czech Social Democratic Party (ČSSD), the Communist Party of Bohemia and Moravia (KSČM), and the Left. In addition to the analysis of programs and other materials, the thesis also includes a theoretically oriented chapter that deals with the individual political ideologies under study and their directions or branches. In conclusion, it is stated that elements of conservatism appear in the programs of all three analyzed parties, with clearly the fewest identified in the programs and other materials...

Tectonic pattern and thermochronology of the late- to post-Variscan events in the southwestern Moldanubian Zone (Bohemian Massif)
Kalinová, Radka ; Verner, Kryštof (advisor) ; Franěk, Jan (referee)
The southwestern part of the Moldanubian Zone including southern flank of the Western Moldanubian Unit, Bavarian Unit and "Transitional Zone" located in between reveal a complex tectonic history as the result of late-orogenic exhumation and several post-Variscan tectonic episodes in Permian to Neogene era. New multi-mineral K-Ar dating reflects the cooling up to ca. 150ř C and later stages of crustal exhumation in the southern flank of the Western Moldanubian Unit at ~339 to 334 Ma. In contrast, the "Transitional Zone" and the Bavarian Unit underwent the exhumation and similar cooling history in range ~330 to 315 Ma and ~300 to 280 Ma, respectively. These events were driven by fading ~N(NNW)-S(SSE) oriented compression (up to 325 Ma) and subsequent increasing role of ~ENE-WSW oriented extension. In this context, a prominent right-lateral to oblique normal slip along ~WNW(NW)- ESE(SE) shear or fault zones and simultaneous left-lateral to oblique normal slip along ~NNE(NE)-SSW(SW) were active. Following "post-orogenic" (post-Permian) episodes were mainly associated with (a) additional thermal input (re-heating) between Jurassic (~170 Ma) to early Cretaceous (~140 Ma), accompanied by ~NE-SW oriented extension (transtension) and (b) upper Cretaceous (~105-82 Ma) crustal uplift and cooling under...

Optimisation of TSP-Based Tasks Using Collective Computational Intelligence
Franěk, Jaromír ; Jaroš, Jiří (referee) ; Bidlo, Michal (advisor)
The aim of this work is to compare collective computational intelligence algorithms for the optimization of large-scale instances of traveling salesman problem consisting of in several of thousands of cities. This work will be focused on optimization based on swarm behavior and optimization based on bee swarm behavior. I have compared individual algorithms from these two approaches with different parameters within a set of experiments. Based on these results, I proposed an improvement to the algorithms for solving the given problem. Then I proposed an improvement to the algorithms using diversity support methods, or local search for discrete versions of these algorithms. Finally, I compared results of proposed algorithms within a final set of experiments.

Effective Dynamic Programming in Bioinformatics
Franěk, Jaromír ; Hynek, Jiří (referee) ; Burgetová, Ivana (advisor)
Purpose of this thesis is to study principle of effective algorithms, that are using dynamic programming. Using this knowledge to create application demonstrating principle of effective algorithm of dynamic programming in bioinformatics and write a report summarizing results. Algorithms used in this thesis are solving DNA sequence alignment or RNA secondary structure prediction. These algorithms are compared between themselves based on different input values. For DNA sequence alignment are used algorithms such as Needleman-Wunch and X-drop. For prediction of secondary RNA structure is used Zuker algorithm, that should remove some of Nussin algorithm weaknesses and Nussin algorithm itself. Recursion is showed by recursion trees. Dynamic programming is showed by score matrix. User also have ability to compare speed of both approaches for given sequences. It is programmed as web application, that run on client's side. This ensure easy availability.
