An equivalence between rational inattention problems and complete-information conformity games
Ilinov, Pavel ; Jann, Ole
We consider two types of models: (i) a rational inattention problem (as known from the literature) and (ii) a conformity game, in which fully informed players find it costly to deviate from average behavior. We show that these problems are equivalent to each other both from the perspective of the participant and the outside observer: Each individual faces identical trade-offs in both situations, and an observer would not be able to distinguish the two models from the choice data they generate. We also establish when individual behavior in the conformity game maximizes welfare.

Mixed mode data collection: PAPI and CAPI comparison
Pilecká, Jarmila ; Buchtík, Martin (advisor) ; Hendl, Jan (referee)
Usage of mixed mode is popular among researchers mainly because of its flexibility and possibility of lowered costs, time and response bias. Therefore engagement in analysis of potential differences and problems is necessary mainly in mapping effects of these combinations. My diploma thesis focuses on possibilities of equivalence of mixed mode PAPI and CAPI collection of data. I use Multi-Group Confirmatory Factor Analysis (MG CFA) for analysing the equivalence of measurement. This is quite unusual method for analysing a mixed-mode and few researchers used it till now. Most of the studies focused on differences in answers of respondents caused by mode effect or cognitive process of answering the questions. Key words: Mixed mode design, equivalence, confirmatory factor analysis, CAPI and PAPI, mode effect

Evalution criterions are in this case the questions of equivalence - adequacy of the translation, translation of (un)translatable lexical units in Czech, the problems with translations of facts, translation of foreign languages' parts in original text and reproduction Olga Zabuzkova's style in all levels - syntactic, lexical and expressive as well. Minor mistakes in the translation to the Czech version were revealed during the research, but overall the translation is rated as a very successful one.

Annotated translation: The beginning of the Schleswig-Holstein question
Novotná, Markéta ; Žárská, Monika (advisor) ; Veselá, Gabriela (referee)
The purpose of the doctoral thesis written by Joachim Daebel is to describe the Schleswig-Holstein movement and its impact on Germany in particular. This topic in the way how it is conceived in the given thesis is highly interesting from the translators point of view. There are two reasons for this fact. The first one is a rather low concern about it in the Czech area which leads to the uncertainty about how to translate the terminology of history and law which appears in a large amount. The second one is the complicated language used by the author of the thesis. The paper is written with the use of an extremely difficult syntax which emphasizes the differences between Czech and German. The frequency of technical terms and complicated syntax are the main features of the doctoral thesis which cause problems and must be solved by the translator. The aim of this annotated translation is to create an equivalent version of the original text from a functional point of view with the use of a convenient language.

On Sense Division in a Bilingual Dictionary
Hagenhoferová, Lucie ; Vachková, Marie (advisor) ; Šemelík, Martin (referee)
This thesis deals with the dividing the dictionary entry into several "sub-meanings", i.e. with the sense division, and with the closely related ordering of these "sub-meanings", i.e. with the sense ordering, with the bilingual passive German-Czech dictionary in the centre of interest. This thesis deals shortly also with the discriminating the senses by different means, i.e. with the sense discrimination. With these three subjects chronologically following the lexicographic decisions the matter of equivalence and the understanding of the term of meaning are correlated. In the theoretical part of this thesis the specifics of the sense division and the sense ordering in the monolingual and in the bilingual lexicography are introduced, in the practical part of this thesis the possibilities of the sense division and the sense ordering are exemplified with ten chosen substantive lemmas prepared for the Large German-Czech Academic Dictionary in progress. For every lemma the most suitable arrangement of the lemma is suggested, which is then compared with the corresponding dictionary entry in the source dictionary Duden - Deutsches Universalwörterbuch. The differences between the arrangements of the microstructure illustrate the necessity of the revision and eventual modification of the adopted structure...
