The current social policy of the City of Prague towards the Roma, its forms and objectives
Peterková, Kornélie ; Hajská, Markéta (advisor) ; Ort, Jan (referee)
The present bachelor thesis focuses on the structure of policies towards Roma within the capital city of Prague. It tries to describe and map its forms, including all relevant actors, activities and subsidy titles. Policies on the territory of the HMP are mainly implemented by the HMP Municipality, municipal districts and non-profit organisations, which are the focus of the paper. Roma in the Czech Republic are discriminated against in social, cultural and political spheres. Through a basic analysis of strategic documents, the form of subsidy titles, the structure of support and interviews with the actors concerned, this thesis seeks to answer to what extent policies towards Roma address these types of exclusion. The thesis aims to investigate what are the objectives of policies towards Roma in the capital city of Prague. It highlights that a significant part of these initiatives focuses only on Roma individuals who are at risk of social exclusion and are implemented through social policy. On the contrary, it neglects the political and cultural exclusion of Roma from the public space. Within the policy structure, the thesis attempts to seek a Roma perspective. It tries to answer the question to what extent Roma participation in the policy system is possible and realistic. Keywords: Roma, social...

Music in Anthony Burgess' fiction
Kiszová, Tereza ; Beran, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Poncarová, Petra Johana (referee)
THESIS ABSTRACT Literature has been considered an ideal model for literature since Romanticism, however, some of the 20th -century authors have employed the analogy more precisely than the Romantics. Being a classical composer as well as an author of fiction, Anthony Burgess represents the perfect example of how the two arts influence each other. Music pervades a large portion of the author's prolific literary work, occurring in various forms. This thesis examines allusions to music, which offer insight into the psychology of characters in some texts and elucidates the context in others, as well as on the structural features of Burgess' works. Well acquainted with the technique of composing music, Burgess models some of his works on musical forms, or specific compositions and thus adds another layer to the connection between music and literature. Both of the aforementioned methods will be discussed first separately and then combined in a single novel. Burgess' short story "1889 and the Devil's Mode" (1989) will illustrate the use of music on a thematic level, the structural analogies to music will be examined in Burgess' experimental novel Napoleon Symphony: A Novel in Four Movements (1974) and finally, the interplay of both methods will be discussed in Burgess' most-recognized novel A Clockwork Orange...

Glottalization patterns in the L2 speech of Czech and Slovak speakers of English
Formanová, Aneta ; Šturm, Pavel (advisor) ; Lewis, Suzanne (referee)
The theme of this bachelor thesis is a research study of glottalization patterns in English as the second language (L2) of Czech and Slovak speakers. The thesis starts with a theoretical part, in which the phenomenon of glottalization and linking is described. Different possible types of linking and glottalization are represented, using different examples from various languages. Further on, the linking and glottalization are described separately in relation to the Czech language, the Slovak language, and lastly the English language. Various types of glottalization and linking of those languages are described. The languages are compared with each other, combined with the analysis of prosodic differences between the Czech and Slovak language. Speech production in English as L2 is then described. All of these findings are then applied to a practical study. The recording of 6 Czech and 8 Slovak speakers is analysed with respect to different aspects, that affect linking and glottalization. The results are then discussed, alongside with the suggestions for further study.

Roma In Turkey - the case of Sulukule
Gabčová, Lucie ; Kaas, Filip (advisor) ; Koláček, Jakub (referee)
The thesis focuses on the events in Istanbul's Sulukule quarter, which began in 2005, when the authorities ruling in Istanbul approved the revitalization project of Istanbul's Sulukule quarter in Fatih district. The oldest Roma quarter in Istanbul, dedicated to the local Roma according to legends already by Sultan Mehmed II. for helping in the conquest of the city, was a famous place where many went for music, dancing and entertainment. As a result of the revitalization project, several hundred families lost their homes and luxury houses were built on this place instead. The goal of the work is to map this project from its beginnings to 2010, to focus on how local residents were dealt with and what their options were to defend themselves against the project. The work places the project in Sulukul in the context of the phenomenon of kentsel dönüşüm, which is taking place throughout Turkey and which aims to revitalize residential areas, among other things, due to the impending earthquakes. However, this project mainly affects zones where investments do not flow in the long term and are inhabited by less well-off social groups that cannot effectively resist revitalization. The work will outline the history of the Roma community in Turkey and in Sulukule. The main contribution of the work will be the...

Simulation of rings surrounding the progenitor of SN1987A
Jireš, Michal ; Pejcha, Ondřej (advisor) ; Calderón Espinoza, Diego Nicolas (referee)
SN1987A, the first supernova visible by the naked eye since 1600s, is anomalous by existence of preexisting triple ring nebula around it. One candidate explanation of the nebula is a binary merger of SN1987A's progenitors. This was already modelled in previous work with smoothed-particle hydrodynamics code GADGET. This thesis aims to replicate this model using mesh-based hydrodynamics code Athena++ and compare it. We focus on ejected mass per latitude distribution and total ejected mass. 1

Crown prince Rudolf and the Reform of the Habsburg Monarchy
Řehořová, Barbora ; Županič, Jan (advisor) ; Buňatová, Marie (referee)
The aim of this bachelor thesis is an analysis of Crown Prince Rudolf's opinions as reflected in his original texts, primarily in his newspaper articles, which were published anonymously. The author focuses on texts written about three main topics: Austrian nobility, Rudolf's attitude towards the many nations living within the Habsburg monarchy and the functionality of dualism or the possibility of a different form of government. The author has used the following methods to explore these topics: analysis of newspaper articles, other original texts and analysis of correspondence with fellow journalist Moritz Szeps as well as literature search. The thesis presents the situation in the Austro-Hungarian monarchy in the 1870s and 1880s and describes Rudolf's position on the issue of nationalism in a multi-ethnic monarchy, his views concerning the Balkan question, religious tolerance and the Jewish question. The Crown Princes' opinion on dualism and its disadvantages compared to a unified empire, his attitude towards the possibility of further splitting of the monarchy or its federalization, and his opinion on the possibility of the monarchy's dissolution are also presented. Rudolf's asessment of the morals of the blue-blooded and their attitude towards science and progress are also analysed. Both the...
