Male emancipation as the process of seeking identity
Petr, Josef ; Šanderová, Jadwiga (advisor) ; Uhl, Michal (referee)
In this work I would like to present the concept of male emancipation as the process of liberation of men from the pressure of culture stereotypes about men and masculinity. Male emancipation is also the inner process of seeking identity which is a synthesis of reflection of sex as a biological predisposition and gender as a culture construction. The concept of male emancipation is the answer to the recent crisis of male identity and is represented with different emphasis in different faces of men's movements. I created the basic typology of these movements and described their "emancipatory potential". As the opposition to feminists ideal types of new man or androgyne I described the realistic type of emancipated man who is not trying to achieve a synthesis of characteristics typically and traditionally considered as masculine or feminine but rather to achieve a compact, consistent and original personality. In the last part of my work I present results of my research "What do men say?" where I analyzed the statements of men who came to the men's groups of the Czech organisation the League of Open Men. As a result I described four basic motivational categories which motivate men to visit these groups and the description of some basic topics which men solve in these groups.

actual problems in reporting of small and medium enterprises
Polák, Martin ; Strouhal, Jiří (advisor) ; Cardová, Zdenka (referee)
This theses is focussed on the issue of reporting of small and medium companies under IFRS for SME. The goal is to evaluate advantages and disadvantages of this reporting in czech enterprenual surrounding. At the beginning of the theses I outline the fundamentals of reporting under czech accounting principles and under IFRS for SME. The practical part is devoted to conversion of Financial Statements from czech accounting principles to IFRS for SME of a construction company that meets the criteria of a medium enterprise.Upon comparing of the both Financial Statements I have come to a conclusion that the Financial Statements under IFRS for SME give certainly a greater evidence than the Financial Statements under Czech accounting principles. Although I have come to a conclusion that the Financial Statements under IFRS for SME are better, their applicability for some companies could be questionable. Such a company could be the one that does not have separate owners and managers.

Cognitive predispositions affected by degree of brain masculinity and femininity
PIXA, David
This thesis is concerned with gender-related differences of cognitive predispositions. Findings could be utilized predominantly in human resource management, pedagogy and psychology. The research was proceeded as a case study of 45 undergraduate students. Individual degree of masculinity/femininity (gender) was indicated by the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), while cognitive preferences were measured and described by Hermann Brain Dominance Instrument (HBDI). Another data were obtained by means of qualitative research methods, such as participant observation and semi-structured interviews. Besides, in general features were surveyed hand-lateral-preference, professional orientation and attention capability. All probands were divided into 6 categories according to gender and degree of MF. Synthesis of MMPI and HBDI results showed significant congruence between the gender-categories and a dominant preference of the HBDI{\crq}s cognitive styles: Masculine men {--} a dominant preference of A-mode (analytical thinking). Feminine men {--} a dominant preference of D-mode (imaginative thinking). Masculine women {--} a dominant preference of B-mode (sequential thinking). Feminine women {--} a dominant preference of C-mode (interpersonal thinking). This findings were in accordance with a professional orientation of the probands (regardless of the field of study they have choosen). Right-brain dominant students (mostly feminine men) were not well-adjusted to a classical passive teaching metods.
