Criminal sanctions in Czech criminal law regarding the protection of children in the case of repeat offenders
Pečová, Veronika ; Richter, Martin (advisor) ; Bohuslav, Lukáš (referee)
Criminal sanctions in Czech criminal law regarding the protection of children in the case of repeat offenders Abstract The diploma thesis is devoted to the current legal regulation of protection of children against recidivist behaviour of offenders, its evaluation from the point of view of sufficiency and comparative analysis of foreign regulation. The aim of the thesis is mainly to present the current legislation, including the international legal basis on which it is based, to evaluate its sufficiency and to compare it with foreign legislation. The thesis concludes with an analysis of the government's forthcoming proposal for a sex offender registry, including an outline of its pitfalls. The sex offenders' register is now a much-discussed political topic. There are calls from both the professional and lay communities for a new regulation to help prevent the increasing relapse of offenders who commit crimes against children. The pressure from society has intensified with well-known cases in the media that have shaken society and exposed the many shortcomings of the current regulation. The political environment has responded to this impetus and discussions regarding the development of a sex offenders' register are now in their second year. However, the proposal is still not finalised as there is currently...

Ecological characteristics of nivicolous slime molds with respect to climate change
Leshchenko, Yuliia ; Koukol, Ondřej (advisor) ; Man, Matěj (referee)
This diploma thesis focuses on nivicolous myxomycetes, a group of amoeboid protists widely distributed in terrestrial ecosystems, particularly in alpine, subalpine, and arctic zones. The main objective is to distinguish whether subgroups of nivicolous myxomycetes have distinct spatial requirements and to identify the key environmental factors influencing their distribution. I employed species distribution modelling (SDM) using three methods (MaxEnt, BIOCLIM, and Random Forest) to predict the habitat suitability of these subgroups. Three taxon experts validated the model predictions. This diploma thesis also explores the potential impact of climate change on their distribution using future climate projection scenarios. The results suggest that SDMs may not fully capture the complexity of habitat requirements for nivicolous myxomycetes in the European part of the Palearctic, however key bioclimatic variables for the study group were distinguished: temperature seasonality, precipitation of the warmest quarter, the maximum temperature of the warmest month. The evaluation by experts reveals some limitations regarding the research design, such as the need for accurate species categorization and consideration of fine-scale environmental variations in the study region. Keywords: nivicolous myxomycetes,...

Czech Primary Teachers' Approach to English Pronunciation Teaching
Jirsová, Emma ; Červinková Poesová, Kristýna (advisor) ; Müller Dočkalová, Barbora (referee)
The aim of this diploma thesis is to ascertain the current state of English pronunciation teaching at primary schools in the Czech Republic by researching Czech teachers' approach to it. The thesis comprises a theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part first describes the importance, aim, and content of pronunciation teaching as well as the effectiveness of pronunciation instruction and reasons for neglecting it. Furthermore, it characterizes young learners, gives recommendations for teaching pronunciation to them, describes an integrative approach to pronunciation teaching, and looks into how pronunciation is taught at primary schools in different European countries. The practical part of this diploma thesis presents, analyzes, and discusses the findings of a survey completed by 108 Czech primary teachers focusing on their approach to pronunciation teaching. The results of the survey describe the teachers' pronunciation pedagogy training, their perspectives on pronunciation teaching, the way they implement it into their English lessons at primary schools, the reasons why some educators teach pronunciation spontaneously, and the changes which would facilitate systematic pronunciation teaching. Keywords English pronunciation teaching, primary level, young learners, English as a Foreign Language

Effect of conservation grazing on dry grasslands of the Czech Republic
Marek, Matouš ; Münzbergová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Karlík, Petr (referee)
This diploma thesis is focused on grazing management in the Czech Republic, namely in Prague, České středohoří and Český kras. More specifically, on dry semi natural grasslands (Festucion valesiacae, Bromion erecti and Cirsio-Brachypodion pinnati). The main aim of this thesis was to identify the total effect of grazing in all its forms on the species composition and the diversity of vegetation. Data were collected in 2022 on 54 pastures subjected to conservation grazing, where the management has been going on for 1 - 24 years. Data have been collected on individual localities using phytocenological relevés. Data on the management have been obtained through talks with locality administrators and through questionnaires. Used covariates were associated with the micro-site of the phytocenological relevé, climatic data, types of surrounding vegetation, place of the relevé, soil chemical analyses and the management. The results of this thesis show that grazing predictors often influence broad-leaf grasses, especially Bromus erectus and Brachypodium pinnatum, which negatively affect endangered species. Species composition is mainly affected by the time since start of the management, and the season of grazing. Spring and autumn grazing were identified as positive tools of management (increasing numbers of...

Vzájemné ovlivňování angličtiny a druhého cizího jazyka a jejich vliv na jazykovou úroveň studentů na českých středních školách
Humhalová, Tereza ; Mikuláš, Martin (advisor) ; Dvořák, Bohuslav (referee)
My diploma thesis is concerned with the possible effects of linguistic transfer between a Czech grammar school students' acquired languages, namely English and French or German, on their performance in these languages. The thesis is written on the backdrop of the Czech Education System. The System of Curricular Documents and the related documents which predetermine the students' language development are introduced, and their most important implications for the development of the students' L2 and L3 are listed out. The foreign languages which this thesis is predominantly focused on, namely English, French and German, are analysed diachronically, synchronically and typologically to establish their main principles, their similarities, and differences, which may serve as the possible sources of linguistic transfer. Cognitive processes underlying the development of L2 and L3 systems in the context of the Czech Education System and relevant theories are introduced, including the variables which determine to a significant degree the development of these languages and may have implications for the possible instances of linguistic transfer. Hypotheses and research questions which arise from the theoretical research are then proposed, the answers to which I intend to provide by means of a...

The Europeanisation of Asylum law
Pifflová, Viktorie ; Pítrová, Lenka (advisor) ; Říha, Michal (referee)
The Europeanisation of Asylum law Abstract The content of this thesis focuses on the development of the European Union asylum policy, as the youngest but fastest developing EU policy. As the field of asylum law is highly influenced by the incorporation of EU legislation into the national legal orders of the Member States, this legal area can be described as strongly Europeanised. This thesis aims to document the process of Europeanisation of asylum law through the construction of a regional subsystem of refugee protection in the European area, called the Common European Asylum System, or CEAS for short. The thesis is divided into an introduction, seven chapters and a conclusion. The first chapter explains the basic concepts with which the thesis works, as well as emphasizes the necessity to consider the field of asylum law through the prism of three layers which mutually influence and complement each other. These layers are of the international, EU and national law. For this reason, the most important international legal pillars supporting the EU asylum acquis are mentioned. The following chapters deal with the very concept of the Common European Asylum System and EU asylum policy, in an attempt to capture the underlying conceptual ideas behind the need to build this system. As the CEAS was built...

The Position of the Police Authority in Pre-Trial Criminal Proceedings
Jaňovka, Jan ; Musil, Jan (advisor) ; Hořák, Jaromír (referee)
Abstract, key words The Position of the Police Authority in Pre-Trial Criminal Proceedings One of the aims of the presented work was to find out what is the position of the police authority in the Czech criminal preparatory proceedings. I was also concerned with its relationship to other authorities and in particular to the public prosecutor's office. In the initial historical excursus I briefly dealt with the legal regulation in the field of criminal proceedings in the period from 1918 to the present. In the next chapter I described the types and legal regulation of the various police authorities, including the resolution of jurisdictional disputes between them. I then examined, by looking at the structure of the tasks performed by police authorities, the actual position of the police authority in contemporary criminal proceedings. I examined its procedure at the various stages of the pre-trial proceedings and what its relations are with other public prosecutor and the court. In the third part I described the position and organisation in the Federal Republic of Germany. I have described the tasks of the police in criminal proceedings. This showed that criminal proceedings in Germany are considerably faster and less formal. As far as Czech criminal proceedings are concerned, the public prosecutor has...

Analysis of the institute of extraordinary circumstances, or the curtailment of air passenger rights: Theory practice and future development
Bartošík, Lukáš ; Exner, Jan (advisor) ; Šmejkal, Václav (referee)
Title of the writing: Analysis of the institute of extraordinary circumstances or abbreviation of air passenger rights: Theory, practice and future directions Abstract Air passengers have a number of rights against air carriers under EU law. One of these rights is the right to a flat-rate compensation in the event of cancellation or significant delay of a flight. Cancellations or significant delays can be caused by a wide variety of circumstances. If these circumstances are extraordinary and could not have been prevented by the carrier using all reasonable measures, passengers are not entitled to compensation and the carrier is thus relieved of its obligation. Extraordinary circumstances in air transport are very often applied in practice as a means of relieving the carrier of its obligation to pay damages to air passengers. Unfortunately, this remedy is enshrined in the legislation in a very vague and indeterminate manner, in the form of vague legal terms. It can therefore be abused in practice to the detriment of passengers. The Court of Justice of the European Union, in the context of the preliminary ruling procedure, does interpret the institute, but again using general and vague terms, which requires further specification by means of further preliminary questions. This paper aims to explain the meaning...

Visible blindness in the urban world society's relation to light now and then
Pata, Václav ; Sedlák, Michal (advisor) ; Gajdošíková, Pavla (referee)
The diploma thesis is focused on city in time and age of artificial lighting. It takes the issue of light pollution as its starting point. Elementary sources and consequences of over- lighting are used as a base for the Forgotten Dark worksheets. The sheets were created in collaboration with Veřejný sál Hraničár (Public Hall Hraničář) as an educational material for the gallery cycle Light. Together with the sheets, a need to widen my knowledge and apply it to a specific situation arose. I picked Obchodní dům Prior and Kulturní středisko Corso (Shopping Mall Prior and Culture Center Corso) in the neighborhood of Krásné Březno for that purpose. The pick of the place directed the development of the themes of the theoretical part of the thesis. The middle part of the thesis is trying to show contemporary city from two essential angles. Firstly, I tried to answer the question about sources of the shape contemporary city has taken upon itself. The rest is focused on building public spaces in regard to their nighttime flow. The final chapter is exploring the object of Corso. At first It is trying to take a look at the context of the city part of Krásné Březno, then it is taking a look at the city part in context of Ústí nad Labem. The gathered information is used for a presentation of possible future of...
