Halfarová, Anna ; Ženíšek, Jakub (advisor) ; Pípalová, Renata (referee)
This bachelor thesis is focused on the problems which may occur, while translating from English into Czech, using as a foundational material a novel Freedom by American author Jonathan Franzen. The thesis is divided into two sections. For the purpose of the first, practical part, I have chosen two different extracts of the novel, one is taken from the middle of the book, the second one is the last part of the novel Freedom. The second section consists of my analysis, special attention is paid to the problems I had to solve during my translation. I comment on the choices I have made, usually also quoting from the books that deal with translation theories, I found especially helpful those written by Jiří Levý, Dagmar Knittlová and Zlata Kufnerová.

Visual experince as example and pattern in relation to the expansion and influence into human life
Nohejl, Jiří ; Czumalo, Vladimír (advisor) ; Vojtěchovský, Miroslav (referee)
The main theme of this dissertation is to define an image as a visual experience. The human interaction is described by the author himself as a perception of the image, which serves as an information unit that could be presented as a possibility, example and pattern for the individual. There is an emphasis on the process of perception itself and on the way of interaction of an individual emphasizing the context of social learning and imitation in this text. The analysis of the principles of this interaction leading into introduction of the partial interactive models covering these processes is formed by the essential plane. The structure of the thesis is divided into ten main chapters in which the author tries to introduce a category of perception, a definition of the image and imitation as a tool of cultural transmission, presentation of the units of this transmission, the process of the interaction itself and analogous example of the fundamental role that a person in this interaction holds. There are also three analogies of these roles, which refer to the anthropological universal interaction describing the man as a gatherer and hunter. Their main purpose is to illustrate the form of a human experience better. Finally, there are reflections on the topic above. The possibilities and results, which...

The Terrible Twos: A translation and stylistic analysis of a passage of Ishmael Reed's novel
Šerých, Hedvika ; Ženíšek, Jakub (advisor) ; Chalupský, Petr (referee)
This bachelor thesis consists of two parts. The first is comprised of a side-by-side translation of five selected chapters from the novel The Terrible Twos from the English to the Czech language. The second, theoretical part is formed by a stylistic analysis of this translation. This part is further divided into multiple sections dealing with the morphological, lexical and the syntactical level of the two languages. The most developed level of these three is the lexical one since it was the most challenging issue that had to be dealt with. Both Czech and English source books formed the basis for the theoretical part. The authors of the prominent publications were for instance Dagmar Knittlová, Jiří Levý, and Peter Newmark.

Music Communication, Projection and Analogy of Handicapped Children in Music Therapy
Lipský, Matěj ; Květoňová, Lea (advisor) ; Mastnak, Wolfgang (referee) ; Weber, Jana (referee)
/Abstract Music Communication, Projection and Analogy of Handicapped Children in Music Therapy Presented work takes an interest in music contents produced by handicapped children attending music therapy sessions. The contents of music were gained from the children by the method of improvisation, particularly by "concert technique". In the theoretical part we present philosophical background for the music therapy in a field of special education and research. This background thought we have found in a gnoseology of a critical realism and a radical constructivism. Afterwards the definition and description of used music therapy terminology follows. We present three music therapy models that put great emphasis on the contents of music produced by clients. These models are: the German Morphological music therapy, the Dutch Analogical Music Therapy and the Geneape music therapy model from the Czech Republic. We also discuss general possibilities of using music therapy while working with mentally handicapped clients, autistic clients and clients suffering from sight defects, because these kinds of handicaps are included in our research group. At the end of the theoretical part we explain the terms of music communication, projection and music analogy. They are always connected to the contents of music, as...

Inominated and mixed contracts on the background of the new Civil Code
Šidlo, Jan ; Lederer, Vít (referee)
Inominated and mixed contracts on the background of the New Civil Code Abstract This rigorous thesis deals with contracts that are not specifically regulated by law as a type of contract. These are mainly inominated contracts, but also mixed contracts, combining two or more nominated or inominated contracts. The aim of the rigorous thesis is to focus on certain specifics of concluding these contracts and define the regime by which these contracts will be governed, i.e. whether the general provisions of jurisdical acts are applicable to the inomninated or mixed contract, whether the general provisions of contract law are applicable and whether the special provisions for individual types of contracts are applicable (i.e. the so- called admissibility of analogy with the type of nominated contract, whick is closest to the inominated contract) etc. The author divides the rigorous thesis into eight crutial chapters. The first six chapters form a general part of the rigorous thesis and the remaining two chapters form a special part of the thesis. In the general part, the author defines the inominated contract in Chapter 1, distinguishes it from nominated contracts and asks whether the inominated contract can contain essential elements of a contract in Chapter 2. The author also deals with the relationship between...

The factors influencing sensory quality of processed cheese analogues
Sůkalová, Kateřina ; Kráčmar, Stanislav (referee) ; Diviš, Pavel (referee) ; Buňka,, František (advisor)
The presented thesis deals with the monitoring sensory quality of processed cheese analogues, focusing mainly on the taste (flavour) and related content of volatile (aroma active) substances. Model samples of analogues were produced by a standard procedure at Tomas Bata University in Zlín. The experimental part was divided into two experiments, which differed in the composition of model samples of analogues. In the first experiment, the traditional fat (butter) was completely replaced by selected vegetable fats (palm, coconut, mixed), in the second experiment only a part (1% w/w - expressed on the total weight of the sample) of butter was replaced by vegetable oils (apricot, flax seed, currant, grape seed). Solid phase microextraction in conjunction with gas chromatography with flame ionization detection was used to determine volatiles. Methods based on valid international standards were used to evaluate the sensory quality of samples, focusing mainly on flavor, namely evaluation using scales (ISO 4121), profile test (EN ISO 13299) and ranking test (ISO 8587). The aim of the work was to assess the effect of the addition of various vegetable fats/oils on the above parameters, at the same time their changes were monitored during 6 months of storage (at 6 ° C). The results showed that the vegetable oil used affects both the sensory quality and the content and composition of volatile substances of analogues. Significant differences between samples were mainly in taste, aroma and overall acceptability. The decreasing overall acceptability of the samples can be expressed in experiment I by the order: product with butter coconut palm mixed fat; in the case of experiment II: product with butter apricot = flax = grape currant oil. Mixed fat, currant and grape seed oil proved to be unsuitable for the production of analogues, on the contrary, analogues with coconut fat and apricot oil were evaluated best. Based on the results of sensory analyses, it was shown that the samples maintain a good sensory quality min. for 3 months while maintaining a low storage temperature ( 6 ° C). An analogue with coconut fat, whose taste, aroma and acceptability were rated as very good, and apricot oil, whose taste, aroma and acceptability were even rated as excellent, could enrich the food offer on the market.

A Congregation of Jackals: The Translation and Stylistic Analysis of Two Chapters of the Novel
Varga, Jan ; Ženíšek, Jakub (advisor) ; Lancová, Klára (referee)
This bachelor thesis focuses on the translation of selected parts of a novel from English language into Czech Language. Three chapters from the novel A Congregation of Jackals, written by American author Steven Craig Zahler, were selected deliberately for the purpose of the translation with an eye on their artistic and linguistic properties. The first chapter was chosen from the very beginning of the novel, the other ones come from its first half. The practical part of the thesis consists of the translation itself. This is previewed by a brief introductory chapter that takes a cursory glance at the basic principles of translation theory. The analytical part examines the theoretical grounding of the translating process and identifies some specific issues which were encountered during the translation. In doing so, it seeks to substantiate the practical solutions in the practical part with the reference to theoretical sources that had been consulted either prior to or throughout the translation process.
