Sakura, manga, kimono: Representation of Japan at Japanese themed events
Nezveda, Tomáš ; Halbich, Marek (advisor) ; Knotková - Čapková, Blanka (referee)
Sakura, manga, kimono: Representation of Japan at Japanese themed events Bc. Tomáš Nezveda Abstract This thesis studies the issue of a representation of Japan at Japanese themed events in the Czech Republic. The conclusions of this thesis are based on empirical research in three essential terrains - the Japan Information and Culture Centre of the Japanese Embassy in the Czech Republic, the Czech-Japanese Association, and the Czech anime community. Each terrain's activities are analyzed to identify images of Japan they produce for their visitors. This contextual basis is built on for a further analysis of three significant issues that arise from the research - the difference and prevalence of Japanese culture in the Czech Republic, its authenticity, and the tendency of Czech fans to idealize Japan.

Changes in Japan-South Korea Relations in the Context of the Current Trade War
Protasevičová, Alexandra ; Kučerová, Irah (advisor) ; Parízek, Michal (referee)
This thesis examines the trade war between South Korea and Japan, which began in the summer of 2019. The dispute has a complex history that partly explains the inevitability of the conflict: Japan is still coming to terms with its colonial past, while South Korea is struggling to forgive the war crimes it committed and is waiting for an official apology. Despite the long- standing disagreements between the two countries, South Korea and Japan remain key allies of the US, which is watching the whole trade war with great concern, especially because of the potential danger from North Korea, which confirms the global impact of this trade war. It is thus in the best interests of the United States to resolve the conflict quickly. Crucially, both Japan and South Korea are using the dispute to adopt hostile historicism as a key resource in the political game: using it to legitimize their own objectives. The aim of this thesis will therefore be to answer the question of what preceded the trade war between South Korea and Japan and what are the reasons for the deterioration of bilateral relations. Another question is how the conflict can be resolved and whether the United States can directly influence it. This paper is based on the hypothesis that the trade war between Japan and South Korea is directly...

Architecture in Japan - influences, contrasts, paralels
Strnadel, František ; Přibyl, Ondřej (referee) ; Ondrík, Jozef (advisor)
Planet T, as the name suggests, is a certain fictional and imaginary city or planet. The name is derived from the capital city of Japan - Tokyo. The work is on the border of a documentary photo from existing places to create a non-existent science fiction scene. Just as many other cities in the world are characteristic in some particular way, Tokyo is a city that clearly encourages this sci-fi vision of the city of the future. In the course of creation, the work also became, among other things, a study on the border between ethnographic description and autoethnographic reflection of Tokyo. It took the form of a personal diary, where I wrote both everyday experiences and architectural notes, as well as notes from observations of Japanese people and their customs.

Evolution of the interpretation and application of Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution in the context of security policy of Japan
Kraus, Lukáš ; Kysela, Jan (advisor) ; Syllová, Jindřiška (referee) ; Zbíral, Robert (referee)
Evolution of the interpretation and application of Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution in the context of security policy of Japan Abstract The main objective of this dissertation is to analyze an important constitutional and legal issue, which is the interpretation of Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution in light of the changing security policy of Japan, with particular emphasis on the passage of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's controversial legislation in 2015. In addition to historical models of governance, the thesis describes the debate over the constitutional text and shows that while Article 9 was intended to be a safeguard against the re-militarization of Japan and the recurrence of wartime horrors, with new challenges, the United States sought to rebuild Japan's armed forces. Japan's LDP-dominated governments, however, citing the Cabinet Legislation Bureau's strict interpretation of Article 9, largely resisted these pressures, leaving security to its American ally and focusing on economic development. Radical constitutional reinterpretation and constitutional revision was hindered not only by the rigidity of the constitution but also by the structure of the political system, in which the proponents of the norm of antimilitarism had a significant role to play. The end of the Cold War, however,...

Evaluation of introduction protection measures - evacuation at crash of nuclear power station Fukushima
SLÁMA, Filip
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to evaluate the protective measures, notably the evacuation of the population, its development and progress. To achieve the goal of bachelor's work was determined by the research question: Was the safeguard measures and the subsequent procedure for the evacuation of persons from the evacuation zones sufficient? The theoretical part is focused on the particular issue of nuclear power plants, radiation protection and evacuation. The situation described here, which took place directly on the Fukushima daiichi nuclear power plant Daiichi, from the strike of the earthquake and tsunami, after the gradation events in the individual reactors. The research part is about the development of the evacuation in the evacuation zones and the nuclear power plant. Protective measures are described here, and even the consequences and the situation after the crash to the present. The methodology of this work was the gathering of available information from official foreign sources, legislative documents, but also of the publications of the experts. Processing of the available information and the evaluation of the consequences of the evacuation has brought unpleasant findings. The loss of life, which can make a person look a certain way to reflect over the selection of persons suitable to evacuate. In this work were identified and discussed technical shortcomings of the power plant, the information misconduct in communication of the population and in the last row and misconduct of the human factor. The thesis can be used in the general issue of nuclear power plants and evacuation for study purposes or as an information source in the education, energy or public administration.

Knowledge of population about nuclear disaster at Fukushima in South Bohemian region
TŘEŠNIČKOVÁ, Tereza
This bachelor thesis deals with the knowledge of population about nuclear disaster at Fukushima in South Bohemian region. The goal is to determine the level of knowledge of population about the nuclear disaster and then compare the knowledge of people living in cities and people living in villages. In the thesis were set two hypotheses: H1: The knowledge of the population about nuclear disaster at Fukushima in South Bohemian region will reach at least 70 % and H2: The knowledge of the population living in cities about nuclear disaster at Fukushima will be statistically significantly higher than the knowledge of the population living in villages. To achieve the stated goals and to test the hypotheses, a questionnaire was compiled, and a survey was made. The results of the survey were evaluated by methods of descriptive and mathematical statistics. The questionnaire consisted of 10 questions. The survey consisted of 55 people living in cities and 54 people living in villages. The results of the survey show that the overall percentage of correctly answered questions was 50 %, which can be considered as an average result. 54 % of people living in cities answered the questions correctly and people living in villages 46 % correctly. The set goals were achieved and both hypotheses were refuted. The benefit of this bachelor thesis is to obtain a summary of knowledge of population about nuclear disaster at Fukushima in South Bohemian region. The results can be used like information material.

Emergency and current exposure situation in residential areas of Fukushima prefecture - aspects of communication of low dose risks
ŠÁROVÁ, Romana
The diploma thesis examines the post-accident and current exposure situations in residential areas of the Fukushima prefecture and discusses certain aspects on communication concerning the risks of low doses. The evaluation was based on research and collection of information and data from printed and electronic resources. The results show the sequence of steps carried out by the Fukushima prefecture and IAEA and the degree to which they were successful. The aim of the diploma thesis is to offer a clear comparison of the monitoring of the post-accident situation in specific areas of the Fukushima prefecture and the situation achieved after a comprehensive decontamination and remediation of the environment. We compared the measured values of the current radiation situation at the Fukushima prefecture with values in the Czech Republic, available thanks to the MONRAS application. The thesis also examines how the authorities communicated with the people of Fukushima before the evacuation and in the period after the evacuation when the habitable part was decontaminated and the government sought (and still seeks) to return people to these areas. I also explored the approach to the optimisation of radiation protection in Fukushima, how this principle can be interpreted in the Czech Republic and how to contribute to sufficient awareness of the population in terms of a general understanding of the limits and optimisation of radiation protection in case of a nuclear accident. For this purpose, an informational brochure was created using the Canva Pro online tool. This brochure represents the practical output of the diploma thesis. The decontamination efforts can be considered successful, given that the measured content of caesium in the environment has been radically lowered; one negative consequence was the creation of a large amount of radioactive waste. The air dose rate is comparable to general global background radiation. The residents therefore don't need to be afraid to return to their homes.
