Jewish Feminism in Interwar Czechoslovakia
Efrati, Michaela ; Čapková, Kateřina (advisor) ; Kříhová, Zuzana (referee)
This bachelor thesis examines the period between the First and Second World War, with a focus on Jewish women's associations in interwar Czechoslovakia. The thesis analyses the development of these associations, their main programmes and their interrelations with the feminist movement both within and outside Czechoslovakia. It looks at the contacts of the leading figures of the feminist movements and their mutual support, or their different views on the programmes of the movement. With an emphasis on a transnational perspective, it examines the achievements of the Women`s International Zionist Organization (WIZO) in the areas of international and local aid and the results of their efforts. The research is based on an analysis of archival materials and contemporary prints and documents. A key figure in this study is Marie Schmolkova, a prominent figure in Czech Jewish feminism. The thesis attempts to identify the differences in the development of Czech Jewish feminism and Czech feminism and examines when and how the two movements came together and what the result of the collaboration was.

Double negation of the nene- type (nenedostal, nenepatrný) in Czech
Hartmanová, Lucie ; Dittmann, Robert (advisor) ; Šimík, Radek (referee)
This bachelor thesis examines double negation in Czech expressed by repeating the negative particle ne- twice in immediate succession. For the research, we aimed to find as many examples of words with this type of double negation as possible, gathering material from selected Czech dictionaries, written language corpora, the Lexical database of humanistic and baroque Czech and the Kramerius digital library (version 5). After collecting the excerpts we conducted a quantitative analysis according to individual parts of speech, focusing furthermore on the semantics of double negation and taking into account competing means of double negation expressed by two successive negative particles. Particular attention is paid to the development of this type of negation in biblical translation where its occurrences in Old or Early Modern Czech translations have been detected. Finally, we summarized the results of the research and offered possible starting points for further research.

Behavioral Genetics of Mate Preferences
Fischer, Martin ; Štěrbová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Bosman, Dita (referee)
Mate preferences are a multidimensional set of mental representations about the characteristics of a potential partner. The aim of this theoretical work is to present the current state of knowledge in the field of inheritance of mate preferences. While there have been several studies that have attempted to estimate the contribution of genetic components and (shared and non-shared) environment to mate preferences and mate choice, the current research suggests the key role of gene-environment interactions. This thesis provides a brief introduction to behavioral genetics and introduces the basic principles of heritability of mate preferences. All studies previously conducted on humans are dealt with in greater detail. However, the environment appears to play a more significant role than direct genetic influences. Consequently, other mechanisms of ontogeny of mate preferences, of which this environment may be composed (i.e. imprinting-like effect, associative learning, social learning, active parental influence on mate choice), are presented. The thesis is concluded with a synthesis of findings on individual mechanisms of the emergence and development of mate preferences and their potential interactions. Each mechanism may explain a relatively small part of the emergence of mate preferences, yet they...

Germanisms in the novel The End of Punk in Helsinki by Jaroslav Rudiš
Müllerová, Michaela ; Vachková, Marie (advisor) ; Šemelík, Martin (referee)
This thesis analyzes the Germanisms in Rudiš's novel "The End of Punk in Helsinki". The aim is to describe the individual Germanisms in terms of their function in the text, their comprehensibility, and the subjective perception of their use in contemporary Czech. Subsequently, some Germanisms were also analyzed in the Czech language corpus InterCorp and SYN, whereby their frequency and the stylistic markers found in the dictionaries were verified. The analysis and the corpus research showed in most cases the correspondence of the stylistic markers found in the dictionaries with those in the novel or the corpus, as well as stylistic effects that, among others, contribute to a closer characterization of the speaker from the regional or social point of view.

The Reception of Egon Erwin Kisch in the GDR and Czechoslovakia in the 1950s and 1960s
Wybitulová, Berenika ; Zbytovský, Štěpán (advisor) ; Zelená, Alena (referee)
Egon Erwin Kisch was not only a well-known journalist and writer, but he also profiled himself as a communist. This bachelor thesis explores what the reception of his works looked like in Czechoslovakia and the GDR in the 1950s and 1960s, and how the reception in these two socialist states differed from each other. With regard to the cultural and political historical developments in the 1950s and 1960s, paratexts such as prefaces and afterwords of editions of Kisch's works, newspaper articles and newspaper references of Kisch, as well as research on Kisch and his texts are thus analyzed. Through this analysis, this thesis shows that the political situation in Czechoslovakia and the GDR significantly influenced Kisch's reception. While Kisch was celebrated in both countries in the 1950s as the ideal socialist author, in the 1960s in Czechoslovakia such perceptions changed and the previous reception of Kisch was criticized. In comparison, interest in Kisch declined in the GDR in the 1960s. This thesis thus highlights the nuances in the cultural politics of the two socialist states and demonstrates how political situations are reflected in the reception of individual authors and their works.

This bachelor thesis focuses on whether students of Charles University prefer electronic or printed formats of study materials and what are the reasons for choosing the preferred format. The theoretical part was dedicated to a review of foreign research in the field of university students' preference between printed and electronic study materials and a brief description of the printed and electronic study materials available to Charles University students in university libraries. The practical part will be developed with the help of a questionnaire survey that will focus on students' preferences regarding the format of study materials for academic purposes, reasons for preferring electronic or printed documents and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on these preferences. Key words students, Charles University, Czech Republic, electronic books, printed books, preferences, pandemic, COVID-19, pandemic COVID-19, students of Charles University, study materials, study handouts, scripts

Repeated low-dose flubendazole treatment and its effect on glioblastoma cells
Namyslová, Marie ; Szotáková, Barbora (advisor) ; Králová, Věra (referee)
Charles University Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Biochemical Sciences Candidate: Marie Namyslová Supervisor: prof. Ing. Barbora Szotáková, Ph.D. Title of diploma thesis: Repeated low-dose flubendazole treatment and its effect on glioblastoma cells Glioblastoma (GBM) is one of the most aggressive and common primary brain tumours in the adults. GBM is resistant to current treatment and the median survival of treated patients with this disease is around 15 months. The very poor prognosis of this disease has prompted the research of new therapeutic strategies. A promising direction is represented by drugs already registered for other indications, such as the anthelmintic flubendazole (FLU) with potential antitumour activity. The aim of this work was to study the effect of FLU after repeated low-dose treatment of GBM cells. Two cell lines, U87MG and U87MG-IDH1mut, were used for this work and the effect of repeated doses of FLU on cell viability (using the WST-1) and on cell morphology (via phase contrast microscopy) was investigated. Furthermore, changes in the expression of cell cycle markers, proliferation, growth, and resistance markers after FLU treatment were evaluated at the mRNA level (RT-PCR) and protein level (Western blotting). Subsequently, the activity of initiator and...
