Legal aspects of the research of stem cells
Šolc, Martin ; Šustek, Petr (advisor) ; Salač, Josef (referee)
The thesis deals with an issue of legal aspects of stem cell research with a special emphasis on the use of embryonic stem cells which is connected with the most of ethical and legislative controversies. At first, there are presented biological and ethical aspects of the topic necessary for its understanding. The thesis further analyses related legislation relevant for the research conducted in the Czech Republic. With respect to international law, the thesis focuses mainly on the Council of Europe system of protection of human rights. Then, the thesis presents regulation in primary and secondary European Union law. In the two final chapters, there is presented Czech regulation in the constitutional order (in the Charter of Fundamental Rights and Freedoms) and laws, which is then viewed in European context as moderately permissive and relatively well prepared. Its greatest weakness is the lack of discussion about the topic in the Czech public.

Shell galaxies - "sticky particles" hydrodynamical simulations
Zimandl, Martin ; Jungwiert, Bruno (advisor) ; Šolc, Martin (referee)
Shell galaxies are usually ellipticals with concentric faint arc-like stellar structures with sharp outer edges. They originate from galactic collisions (so called mergers). According to observations, some galaxies has also gaseous structures, that can be associated with stellar shells. We carry out a few numerical simulations, in which we recreate gaseous shells throug radial collisions of small and large elliptical galaxies. Then we analyze the differences between stellar and gaseous shells. Our simulations are based on earlier models, which describes gas by using so called "sticky-particles" hydrodynamics. This approach was so far quite succesful in resolving origin of gaseous shells. Our conclusion is, that gas in preset galaxies is not sufficient to make any difference. Higher quantities on the other hand has significant effect. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Method of standard candles for determining distances in the Universe
Mádlová, Tereza ; Šolc, Martin (advisor) ; Mészáros, Attila (referee)
The aim of this bachelor's thesis is to enrich the reader's knowledge about methods of determining distances in the universe. This study is particularly focused on the history of the evolution of these methods, a physical descrip- tion of the problem and interim results. Primarily, this thesis deals with the method of standard candles. First, the main information necessary for study- ing the methods of determining distances in the universe is clarified. Then the thesis describes in detail the issue of important historical events and inventions which affected the evolution of these methods. Through these topics we obtain knowledge of this method, and the knowledge of the theory of the expansion of the universe as well. 1

Protection of Personal Data
Šolc, Martin ; Millerová, Ivana (referee) ; Kopecký, Martin (referee)
This rigorous thesis deals with the protection of personal data. This is an issue relating to each of us, thereby personal data and its protection becomes very significant legal phenomenon. The thesis includes alongside the initial part, where a concept of personal data and a sense of its protection is described, also treatise on historical development of international law on protection of personal data and on constitutional ground too. The largest part is devoted to the Act on the Protection of Personal Data and its legal regulation of protection of personal data, which is also the main formal source of its legislation. It is followed by the last part of the thesis dedicated to the protection of personal data according to selected special laws. The thesis strives for comprehensive and thoroughgoing analysis of protection of personal data in terms of generally binding legal regulations, and for the identification of weaknesses in the legislation on protection of personal data, as well as for its clear and logical submission eligible also for use of law laymen.

Just War Theory and Humanitarian Intervention: Case of Kosovo
Šolc, Martin ; Kučera, Jan (advisor) ; Střítecký, Vít (referee)
The aim of the bachelor thesis is to assess the NATO military intervention in Kosovo from the spring 1999 in terms of international law and - first of all - the western just war theory. The thesis first focuses on the genesis of just war theory in the political philosophy of european Antiquity, Middle Ages and early Modern Age, which provides better understanding of the meaning of certain conditions which are necessary to fulfill in order to use force legitimately. The thesis further comes to conclusion that humanitarian intervention forms a legitimate part of contemporary just war theory. The theoretical part of thesis ends with definition of necessary and auxiliary just war criteria applicable to humanitarian intervention; there is also described the regulation of the use of force in international law. The thesis then proceeds to proper case study. After the history of conflict is briefly addressed, international law norms and just war criteria are applied to the NATO military intervention. The thesis concludes that the intervention was illegal: the conditions set by the UN Charter were not met nor was there to be found any customary norm which would provide the action of Alliance with a legal basis. On the other hand, the intervention proved to be legitimate in terms of just war theory: all of...

Shell galaxies: kinematical signature of shells, satellite galaxy disruption and dynamical friction
Ebrová, Ivana ; Jungwiert, Bruno (advisor) ; Šubr, Ladislav (referee) ; Šolc, Martin (referee)
Title: Shell galaxies: kinematical signature of shells, satellite galaxy disruption and dynamical friction Author: Ivana Ebrová Department / Institute: Astronomical Institute of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic Supervisor of the doctoral thesis: RNDr. Bruno Jungwiert, Ph.D., Astronomical Institute of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic Abstract: Stellar shells observed in many giant elliptical and lenticular as well as a few spiral and dwarf galaxies presumably result from radial minor mergers of galaxies. We show that the line-of-sight velocity distribution of the shells has a quadruple-peaked shape. We found simple analytical expressions that connect the positions of the four peaks of the line profile with the mass distribution of the galaxy, namely, the circular velocity at the given shell radius and the propagation velocity of the shell. The analytical expressions were applied to a test-particle simulation of a radial minor merger, and the potential of the simulated host galaxy was successfully recovered. Shell kinematics can thus become an independent tool to determine the content and distribution of dark matter in shell galaxies up to ~100 kpc from the center of the host galaxy. Moreover we investigate the dynamical friction and gradual disruption of the cannibalized galaxy...

Application of the Three-Body Problem in the form of exercises
Kolář, Karel ; Šolc, Martin (advisor) ; Franc, Tomáš (referee)
The main topic of this work is the Restricted Three-Body Problem (R3BP) which is illustrated by solving several examples and by simulations in computational system Wolfram Mathematica. The aim is to offer supplemetary material for university students and it can be used also as introduction to this topic for high school students. The first part is dedidated to history of celestial mechanics and to the people who contributed to the development of the R3B Problem. The second chapter consists of simplier tasks with definitions of basic quantities and variables and revision of the undisturbed two-body problem. Subsequent chapters are concentrated to Lagrange points, Jacobi integral, Hill surfaces, tidal force, Tisserand criterion, shape and evolution of close binary stars and other partial tasks.

Astronomical research at Charles University in Prague from 1882 until the present time
Hyklová, Petra ; Šolc, Martin (advisor) ; Drozd, Zdeněk (referee)
Charles- Ferdinand University was split intu Czech and German universities in 1882. From then both parts were developing independently. Astronomical Institute of the German University was directed by eminent selenograph Ladislaus Weinek (from 1883 to 1913), Adalbert Prey (1918- 1930), Einstein's friend and the first director of the Einstein Institute in Potsdam Erwin Finlay Freundlich (1936 -1938) and Werner Schaub (1939 -1945). The German University was shut down in 1945. The Czech Astronomical Institute was found in 1887 by August Seydler. After Seydler's death the Institute was assumed by Gustav Gruss in 1892. From 1919 do 1943 Vladimir V. Heinrich was the head of the Institute, in 1953 -1967 it was Josef M. Mohr and 1970 1990 Vladimír Vanýsek. The direstors of the State Observatory, that became an independent state research institute after 1918, were František Nušl in 1920 -1938, Otto Seydl in 1938 -1948 and František Link in 1948- 1952. The State Observatory, including Ondřejov Observatory, became the Astronomical Institute of Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic.
