Menclová, Barbora ; Kolenovská, Daniela (advisor) ; Koura, Jan (referee) ; Pešta, Mikuláš (referee)
In the mid-1970s, the Soviet Union and its allies, strengthened by the Helsinki Conference's success and the United States' international weakening after the defeat in Vietnam, launched a new global offensive. One of their priorities became cooperation with the newly established states in Sub- Saharan Africa - Angola and Mozambique. In addition to continued military support, the Eastern Bloc states invested in their industrialization, agriculture, and key infrastructure, which were supposed to contribute to the development of both states. In the case of Czechoslovakia, like other European socialist countries, sending experts to Angolan and Mozambican factories and other institutions became part of its foreign policy. By the end of the Cold War, several hundred Czechoslovak citizens had gained work experience in Angola and, later, Mozambique. The aim of the dissertation dealing with this key Czechoslovak foreign policy strategy in the broader Cold War context is to contribute to the current academic discussion on the forms of socialist globalization and the approach of the East to the Global South in the late Cold War. Based on the archival documents and interviews with witnesses, it explores Czechoslovakia's intentions in pursuing its expertise in these Lusophone countries after 1975. Further, it...

Knowledge comparison of laymen and experts about selected oil accidents
NOVÁK, Michal
Oil spills are an unfortunate part of industrial development so an active prevention is demanded. When such an event occurs, adequate measures need to be taken. The goal of the diploma thesis is to analyze law regulations, documents and information about preselected oil accidents around the world and in the Czech Republic. This thesis also evaluates the knowledge of experts and lay public in the field of oil accidents, while using preselected methods of descriptive and mathematical statistics. Following hypothesis H was chosen to achieve the adequate results of the diploma thesis: "The answers of groups of laymen and experts differ in the case of all questionnaire questions." Theoretical part of this thesis outlines the issue of oil, including general knowledge about its origin, chemical characteristics, oil extraction, processing and areas such as world oil consumption and oil logistics. Storage of oil is also a chapter contained in the theoretical part of this thesis, before it started to focus on the very core of research, oil accidents. These types of accidents were processed by using specialized documents, thanks to which relevant knowledge about individual types of oil accidents were ascertained. The research part was based on the evaluation of answers, which were collected, by using a questionnaire survey. Based on the results of the evaluated knowledge of laymen and experts in the field of oil accidents, the selected hypothesis was getting solved. A total of 105 people took part in the quantitative data collection. For lucidity, the final results are graphically portrayed. Based on the results, which were interpreted in the practical part of this thesis, hypothesis H was rejected. Based on descriptive statistics, the tables for the number of correct answers from lay people and from experts show a proximity to the normal distribution for lay people and a proximity to the Poisson distribution for experts. The diploma thesis brings theoretical and practical knowledge and the possibility to take advantage of the results, not only throughout the academic sphere. This topic also has the potential for follow-up work creation.

Civil liability of expert witnesses
Lukášová, Karolína ; Šustek, Petr (advisor) ; Hendrychová, Michaela (referee)
Civil liability of expert witnesses Abstract This diploma thesis aims to point out the risks related to expert assessments as well as describe the kinds of harm that the violation of expert's duties can cause. Furthermore, the thesis also presents the options for seeking redress in such cases. The new legislation which came into force in the beginning of 2021 brought many important changes. The main objective of the new act in the expert witness area is to set precise and detailed rules for the expert assessments and to raise the standard of expert reports. One of the instruments used to achieve this objective is the strengthening of the liability of experts, including the implementation of the civil liability of experts for damage caused by the professional services offered. Even though the concept of liability of expert witnesses for damage is not completely unknown in the Czech Republic, legal literature has neglected this topic so far. In contrast, articles related to the public liability of experts can be found regularly. Due to the different purpose of criminal and administrative proceedings, an individual has no guaranteed subjective right to claim for redress and compensation in these proceedings. That is why such rights must exist within private law. The diploma thesis presents a detailed analysis...

Interpretation of physics graphs by experts and novices followed by the eye-tracker
Vondráčková, Terézia ; Kekule, Martina (advisor) ; Mandíková, Dana (referee)
This thesis is focused on identifying key aspects of mechanics graphs regarded by students and experts. It also contains observations of student's attention focused on each graph. This data was collected using eye tracking camera. 23 high school students and 14 experts participated in this research. Our group of experts contained graduate and post-graduate students as well as researchers from faculty of Mathematics and Physics at Charles University. Our results suggest that experts were able to memorize more information from each graph than high school students. Difference in focus on relevant parts of graphs was obvious from analyzing correct and incorrect answers of high school students and they consider axes and their labeling as the key parts of graphs in contrast to the students. Incorrectly answering students were more focused on parts with no relevance to the task in question. On the contrary, students with correct answers spent less time looking on non-relevant parts of graphs. Ideas of incorrectly answering students were mostly focused on wrong idea about graph as a sketch of real situation, or picture resembling physical situation.

The Cooperation Quality of Elementary Schools with Specialists on Prevention of Social Pathological Phenomena on the Třebíč's Discrict.
CHALUPOVÁ, Michaela
The Bachelor's thesis deals with the prevention of socio-pathological phenomena at primary schools in the district of Třebíč. The prevention of socio-pathological phenomena has developed significantly in recent years, especially prevention at schools and school facilities. Prevention is most often done by schools themselves in lectures or classes dealing with health education. Furthermore, there are more and more bodies providing preventive programmes. Schools just need to select a programme and order it. The thesis focuses on the cooperation between primary schools and experts in the prevention of socio-pathological phenomena. The aim of the thesis was to explore the degree and quality of cooperation between primary schools and experts in the prevention of socio-pathological phenomena, and whether there is any difference between smaller and larger primary schools concerning this issue. Experts refer to police officers, firefighters, paramedics and other providers of preventive programmes. A qualitative research method was used for the research. Data collection was carried out using in-depth narrative interviews. Research participants were selected by an intentional (purposeful) selection. The research sample consisted of five prevention methodologists of larger and smaller primary schools in the district of Třebíč. The size of schools was determined by the number of pupils who attend the school. The research focused on the following research question: Do primary schools cooperate in the prevention of socio-pathological phenomena with experts from other disciplines? The results showed that all surveyed primary schools cooperate with experts in the prevention. The most common providers include Třebíč Municipal Police, Moravské Budějovice Municipal Police, Emergency services and non-state non-profit organizations, such as Klub Zámek, K-centrum, STŘED, o.s. and others. However, for the most part schools carry out prevention themselves, mostly as part of family and civic education. Schools offer plenty of leisure time activities within the non-specific primary prevention. When cooperating with experts, schools let providers handle preventive programmes themselves. They provide experts with information about individual groups they enter, number of pupils, or problems that occur in a class. The research also suggested the most frequent risk phenomena that appear at the interviewed schools. These are bullying, truancy, substance abuse and cyberbullying. In addition, the research showed that there is no problem with the funding of preventive programmes at almost any school. At the end of the interview, each school methodologist was asked: How subjectively do they perceive prevention at the school where they work? According to the responses, four methodologists are satisfied with the prevention at the school, but only one would not change anything. Within the research two large and three smaller primary schools were visited and no difference was noticed in this area. Even though prevention has developed significantly in recent years, it is advisable to focus on this issue in the future too. Therefore, it would be beneficial if this Bachelor's thesis became a basis for further research. The thesis can bring further information about the cooperation of primary schools and experts in the prevention of socio-pathological phenomena.
