Phenomena of Parading in Northern Ireland Conflict
Novotná, Tereza ; Šlosarčík, Ivo (advisor) ; Kasáková, Zuzana (referee)
Diploma thesis Phenomena of Parading in Northern Ireland Conflict applies a concept of reconciliation to the case of parades and parading in Northern Ireland. It uses the theoretical framework of conflict resolution, post-conflict reconstruction and a concept of reconciliation as a main theoretical anchor. The aim is to illustrate on the case of unionist/loyal parades whether the process of reconciliation is taking place. Method used is process tracing. The transformation of behavior is analyzed on four different factors of parading: the overall number of parades, parades statistics and changes the Orange Order implemented; parade routes and their development - a specific case of Orange Drumcree parade is examined; the use of symbols in Northern Ireland context and during parades; societal significance of parades. The thesis reaches the conclusion that based on the example of parades; process of reconciliation is most likely not taking place in Northern Ireland. Some of the data are inconclusive, therefore a firm statement cannot be made, however the existing data shows prevailing tendency towards absence of reconciliation.

Solving of Conflicts in the International Relations. The Case Study of the Conflict in the Northern Ireland
Novotná, Tereza ; Soukup, Jaromír (advisor) ; Karásek, Tomáš (referee)
Diploma thesis Conflict Resolution in International Relations: The Case Study of Northern Ireland Conflict examines development of the conflict and peace process between the years of 1980 and 2007. A complex concept of conflict analysis by Peter Wallensteen is applied to the case of Northern Ireland. Using the method of process tracing allows for a detailed understanding of the transformation of conflict dynamics from negative to positive. Such a transformation results from behavior and attitudes of individual actors who act positively and in a constructive way. The following actors were identified as the main parties to the conflict: IRA, Northern Ireland political parties - mostly the UUP, DUP, SDLP, and SF - governments of the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland. Development of their attitudes and interests is examined with respect to five distinct categories: involvement of independent authorities and/or third parties; ideology and understanding of the main goals; economic conditions; cultural aspects; and the matter of decommissioning. The Northern Ireland case illustrates that the change of behavior eventually led to the transformation of the conflict and its resolution. However, it also illustrates how painfully slow process it was.

The German Reunification in Parallel with the Eastern Enlargement of the European Union: Two Roads towards Political Integration
Novotná, Tereza ; Kučera, Rudolf (advisor) ; Jeřábek, Martin (referee)
The thesis argues that the reunification of Germany and the eastern enlargement of the European Union represent two types of democratization through political integration that occurred after the collapse of communist regimes in Central and Eastern Europe. The German exemplar stands for an immediate integration with no preconditions and no foregoing reforms on either part but, instead, employing a simple transfer principle and economic backing of the 'accepting' entity. The Eastern enlargement is a model for the opposite process - a gradual, long-term integration through 'political conditionality' until candidate states reach a political and economic level comparable to the level of the accepting unit. Since both ways of integration are diverse, the final results differ as well. While the eastern enlargement was successful in terms of economics and political stabilization in the new EU member states that are, however, skeptical towards further deepening of the European integration, the unified Germany suffers from economic difficulties and, in the Eastern parts, from the rise of post-communist party and nostalgia. After outlining a theory of two types of integration in the opening chapters, the third chapter proceeds to examining how both integrations came about and how they were legally carried out. The...

Arnošt Hofbauer (1869-1944)
Novotná, Tereza ; Rakušanová, Marie (advisor) ; Pravdová, Anna (referee)
Arnošt Hofbauer (1869 - 1944) The theme of this Bachelor thesis comes from my interest in art from the year 1900. The most famous solitaires were many times spoken of recantly so I chose a less known artist, but not less interesting one who was concerned with the cultural events as the establishment of SVU Mánes, the journal Volné Směry and realisation of the exhibition of Auguste Rodin in Prague in 1902. In individual parts I focused on diferent forms of his work, from works for the journal Volné Směry and posters for the first exhibitions of SVU Mánes, over another poster works, painting works and works in architecture to smaller graphic works and drawings. In another part I wrote about his life and his correspondence. I tried to confront his works with another display of artists who lived in the same time in Czech and in Europe and who were of various generations. In this, I tried to get file his work according to the period context. This thesis does not attempt to compile his entire art production but tries to offer a point of view of his art production, whose most progessive work was around 1900.

Immigration to the U.S. through the Mexican perspective: Exmaining the push factors Before and After Nafta
Novotná, Tereza ; Kozák, Kryštof (advisor) ; Raška, Francis (referee)
Mexico had been overshadowed by the U.S. within the North American area even though it is an important actor in the region. It has close historical, political and economic bonds with the United States. Given the geographic proximity, one of the critical issues in the bilateral relationship is the question of immigration. I will look at immigration through the Mexican perspective and examine the push factors that drive generations of Mexicans across the northern border. My main goal is to introduce Mexico through a thorough investigation of the factors that push Mexican citizens to emigrate to the United States. The main problem I will discuss throughout this paper is the reasons why immigration hasn't decreased since 1994, when NAFTA had come into effect and why has there been an increase of the Mexican-born population in the U.S. The premise is not to analyze the economical successes or failures of NAFTA itself, but to introduce its impact on immigration. I will look into the political, demographic, security related and economical reasons for immigration as well as analyze immigration from the regional perspective, in order to demonstrate there has been a change in the migrant profile. Overall this paper should provide a more balanced perspective on the immigration issue to the U.S.

Sources of food allergens and their health significance
Novotná, Tereza ; Faměra, Oldřich (advisor) ; Dana, Dana (referee)
In the whole world, 2-8% of the adult population suffers from a food allergy. The number of children is even much higher in this respect, but their allergies very often disappear with age. Differences in the prevalence of allergies lie in age, geographical conditions and lifestyle.
By food allergy, we understand a reaction catalysed by the immunity system. Pathological symptoms will appear in an individual after they have been exposed to allergy inducing food which starts an immunity reaction. Allergy is a pathological state based on a hypersensitive reaction caused by an allergen of a foreign character.
Food allergens are able to cause atopic or non-atopic reactions among which belong the allergic rhinitis, allergic asthma, atopic dermatitis, allergic gastroenteropathy, anaphylactic shock or angioedema. The symptoms may range from light to very sever and in cases of severe reactions, it is necessary for the individual to avoid the allergy inducing food completely.
Among allergy inducing food may belong all food which contains protein. Reactions manifest themselves to a different degree and by a different symptom in every individual.
The diagnostic methods are demanding and not always accurate. Therefore, it is necessary for the patient to keep careful records of the food they consume. Almost all food allergens are proteins, but it is the protein parts contained in food, that induce allergy. However, there are some groups of food which cause allergic reaction more frequently than others. Among these belong the cow milk proteins, fresh fruit, eggs, fish, crustaceans and peanuts.
It is also necessary to take cross allergies between both related and unrelated food into account, since they cause considerable health issues, for example, the oral allergy syndrome.
Prevention of a food allergy is possible only by complete omission of allergy inducing food from the diet of the individual.
