Zetková, Karolína ; Kozák, Jan (advisor) ; Antalík, Dalibor (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the comparative methods of prominent scholars Friedrich Max Müller, Georges Dumézil and Mircea Eliade and the application of their theories to the Slavic god Perun. The thesis describes and analyzes the theories of these scholars and examines how they relate to Perun as interpreted in Slavic religion. As a result, the thesis compares and evaluates the methods of each scholar in order to show how these methods can contribute to a better understanding of the Slavic god Perun despite the lack of sources.

Myths and Narratives about Climate in the Czech Internet Medium Focusing on Apocalyptic and Eschatological Visions
Tréglová, Zuzana ; Chlup, Radek (advisor) ; Kozák, Jan (referee)
The bachelor's thesis focuses on mapping climate myths and narratives present in the Czech online environment. Specifically, it involves a qualitative analysis of a representative selection of news websites, including those often regarded as fake news websites. Myths and narratives are approached here from the perspective of Gérard Bouchard's book: "Social Myths and Collective Imaginaries." Based on the analysis, the myths are categorized into two distinct groups: those perceiving climate change as a fundamental threat to life on Earth, and those considering these concerns exaggerated, seeing no need to respond to climate change. Both myth groups are further divided in the thesis and mapped in terms of occurrence and mutual compatibility.

The Phenomenon of Exopolitics in the Czech Republic from the Perspective of Religious Studies
Malá, Tereza ; Chlup, Radek (advisor) ; Kozák, Jan (referee)
In this work I describe a Czech group of people who gather around the themes of exopolitics (political relations with extraterrestrials), history and spirituality. With this description, I answer my research question of whether it is relevant to apply religious studies methods to a group that defines itself in opposition to religion. For this purpose, I conducted five semi- structured interviews and completed two days of participant observation. I analyze and frame the collected data using Ninian Smart's seven dimensions of the sacred. First, I adapt the given method to be applicable to this contemporary phenomenon. I use Zygmunt Bauman's terms of "solid and liquid modernity". The seven dimensions were constructed by Ninian Smart in solid modernity, and so its framework must be adapted to be applicable to liquid modernity phenomena such as this group. The ritual dimension is shown to be strongly present, specifically in their rituals and methods for contacting extraterrestrial beings and cultivating the "inner self". I approach the doctrinal dimension through the lens of liquid modernity, where characteristics that are not perceived as doctrine by the group itself are shown as such. The narrative dimension manifests itself through authors such as Zecharia Sitchin and Erich von Däniken. The...

Evolutionary rationale of manifestation of personality traits to vocal expression
Kozák, Jan ; Pivoňková, Věra (advisor) ; Havlíček, Jan (referee)
Previous research in the field of vocal expression in relation to personality variables slightly uncovered some acoustic parameters that correlate with personality characteristics in different models of personality. However, just few studies have examined antisocial personality characteristics including also Dark triad traits. The Dark triad itself is a relatively new concept that has not been studied in relation to the acoustic parameters. This explorative study examines the correlation between acoustic parameters of the voice spectrum and personality traits of Dark Triad, NEO-FFI and Self-deception. For this research were selected voice samples in the form of prolonged phonation vocals / a /, / e /, / i /, / o /, / u /, reading of text, and neutral spontaneous description. Research was attended by 66 participants who completed personality questionnaires SD3, NEO-FFI and SDQ. From an acoustic perspective were measured 21 parameters describing voice quality in software PRAAT. Data analysis revealed significant correlations between personality traits and some acoustic parameters. As an important parameters have showed HNR, jitter and shimmer. The results confirm that certain personality traits are manifested through the human voice. The actual mechanism of influences on voice in this work was only...
