Discourse Analysis of the Presentation of Iran in the American Press
Hlubučková, Lucie ; Raška, Francis (advisor) ; Kozák, Kryštof (referee)
Using Said's concept of Orientalism, the thesis examines how elite American newspapers present Iran. A critical discursive analysis of The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, and The New York Times editorials, which addressed the death of high-ranking Iranian general Qasim Suleimani and related topics, found that all three newspapers portrayed Iran through Orientalist stereotypes and biases. Thus, through the discursive practices, which most of the analyzed editorials worked with, their readers could get the impression (or confirmed themselves in it) that Iran is a dangerous country that cannot be trusted. Moreover, by constructing a binary opposition between the West and Iran, the editorials framed this Middle Eastern country as an uncivilized, isolated and backward state with which it is not possible to maintain standard relations nor negotiate by peaceful means such as diplomacy. Using the content analysis, the thesis further concluded that the articles used the Oriental biases to justify and legitimate Trump's decision to intervene against Soleimani militarily.

Analysis of protein cargo of extracellualr vesicles isolated from the yeast Candida albicans
Hlubučková, Lucie ; Konečná, Klára (advisor) ; Janďourek, Ondřej (referee)
Charles University Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Study program: Pharmacy Candidate: Lucie Hlubučková Consultant: RNDr. Klára Konečná, Ph.D. Title of thesis: Analysis of protein cargo of extracellular vesicles isolated from the yeast Candida albicans Backgroung: The aim of this diploma thesis was to analyze the protein cargo carried in extracellular vesicles released from the yeast Candida albicans (C. albicans), which is one of the most important mycotic agens. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are utilized as "transport vehicles", for the delivery of effector molecules into extracellular milieu. These molecules and primarilly proteins can play different roles in host-pathogen interactions. Proteins isolated from EVs and identified by proteomic approach were sorted into categories according to their molecular function and localization for the purpose of finding out, which proteins are predominantly distributed via extracellular vesicles into extracellular space after induction of nutrition starvation. Analysis of EVs protein cargo with focus on virulence factors could extend the knowledge about extracellular vesicles and their potential role in pathogenesis. Methods: Chosen C. albicans yeast strain was a clinical isolate strain isolated from a premenopausal women suffering from recurrent...

Conflict in the East Timor in context of realpolitics, 1974 - 1977
Hlubučková, Lucie ; Bečka, Jan (advisor) ; Calda, Miloš (referee)
This bachelor's thesis is a case study of use of realpolitik by the United States during the conflict in East Timor. The thesis is based mostly on primary sources, such as declassified US documents between 1974 and 1977. Using them we can examine decision-making processes and priorities of the United States at that time. In the theoretical part the thesis analyses different realpolitik approaches with the special emphasis on morality. The thesis argues that some prominent US officials, especially Henry Kissinger, exercised an amoral realpolitik which was overly profit-driven and had negative impacts not only on the outer world but also on the United States themselves.
