The Image of the Artist in Czech Feature Films after 1948
Šlingerová, Alena ; Klimeš, Ivan (advisor) ; Přádná, Stanislava (referee)
After the Czechoslovak coup d'état of 1948, the cultural politics of the Communist Party became the only power that should organize, regulate and evaluate cultural affairs. This brouht radical changes of the status of artists. That artists who belonged to the rank of intellectuals had to follow needs of the new kind of society. They accepted orders from above and their activity was strictly controlled. Proletarian amateurs and folk art were officially encouraged. The examples of the progressive art were found in the USSR and also among personalities from the history of the national culture. Cinematography, to which was placed a requirement of topicality, also presented the new image of the artist. The most noticeable results were reached in biografical films about our classics and films exposing folklore and cultural life of the working class. The integration of an intellectual artist into the new society became a pivotal theme in movies Písnička za groš and Nezlob, Kristino. As episodic characters, we can find also completely negative types of artists - enemies of that new society. This spectrum corresponds to a general typology of people that was used in art, journalism and public speech in general: mature, confused and totally inadaptable (designed to be displaced). Exeptional cases of...

Pavlíček, Michal ; Kolář, Jaroslav (referee) ; Kolář, Jaroslav (referee) ; Matal, Oldřich (advisor)
The main target of the master´s thesis is reviewing the generation III nuclear reactors in term of the nuclear safety. At first we have to learn some theory of the nuclear safety in order to understand safety systems of the generation III nuclear reactors. Therefore the thesis is divided into two parts. Legislative and technical approaches to nuclear safety are mentioned in the first part. Regulatory bodies, whose task is to supervise nuclear safety in the nuclear power plants, belongs to the legislative approaches. There are defined terms such as defence in depth, redundancy, diversity, etc. There are mentioned methods to assessing nuclear safety – deterministic and probabilistic methods, especially probabilistic methods, for which a simple example is provided. There are also mentioned active and passive safety systems and their significance for nuclear safety and inherent safety too. There is an example of the function of the active and passive safety systems of the EDU nuclear power plant in conclusion of this issue. The second part deals with description of the selected nuclear reactors in context of the construction of the new units of nuclear power plant in Temelín. The nuclear reactors from companies, which applied for the public tender opened by ČEZ, a. s., for the construction of the ETE 3+4. Thus, the nuclear reactor MIR-1200 by ATOMSTROYEXPORT (Russian Federation), the nuclear reactor AP1000 by WESTINGHOUSE (USA) and the nuclear reactor EPR by AREVA (France) are taken into account . Comparison of the generation II and these generation III+ nuclear reactors necessarily belongs to this master´s thesis. These the generation III+ nuclear reactors are compared with the nuclear reactor VVER 440 (EDU) and in particular with the nuclear reactor VVER 1000, which is operated in the nuclear power plant Temelín. The final chapter contains generally appraisal of the whole problem.

Immunization strategies in developing countries and its effects
Melichová, Daniela ; Dáňová, Jana (advisor)
Maintaining good health is important for all of us. A primary health service is important, perhaps the most basic and cost effective is childhood immunization. Immunization against diseases such as polio, tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis saves the lives of approximately three million people each year. Immunization also prevents many more millions from suffering debilitating illness and lifelong disability. Lifesaving vaccines is one of the greatest public health achievements of all time. A hundred years ago, infectious diseases were the worlds leading cause of death. Epidemics of smallpox and diphtheria would take the lives of millions of people. Over the last 50 years, medical science has developed vaccines to reduce the spread of many killer diseases. But other infectious diseases for which we still lack effective vaccines, such as HIV/ AIDS, Malaria and tuberculosis, continue to cause illness, disability and death. Scientists are working hard to develop vaccines to protect people from these diseases as well. In this article the focus will be on immunization in developing countries and difficulties in the management, its effects and the perspective of the future. Comparing the vaccination in developing countries with the one in Norway for informational purposes and understanding of the differences in...

The impact of the tax havens on the public finance of Slovakia
Pištejová, Jana ; Janíčko, Martin (advisor) ; Mičúch, Marek (referee)
International tax planning deals with the tax benefits, their seeking and using by the tax entities and corporations. Even if the tax havens are generally considered as small islands, the different types of tax advantages are offered by the developed countries of the North America or Europe. This paper focuses on the analysis of the inward of foreign direct investments into the European countries with the preferential tax regimes. It explains the relationship between the inward of the investments and the factors which affect them. The inward of the foreign direct investments is the dependent variable, the independent variables are tax rates on corporate income, unemployment, as well as political stability. Although results of econometric analysis did not confirm our initial hypothesis that the lower tax burden will increase the inward of the investments to the country, this increase can be caused under the other circumstances, such as secrecy, property protection, stable political situation or simplicity and utility of the financial markets.

Analysis of the novels and short stories by Hermann Ungar
Foltánková, Marie ; Stromšík, Jiří (referee) ; Tvrdík, Milan (advisor)
Hermann Ungar (1893-1929), a native of Boskovice in Moravia, whose work is part of the Prague - or rather Moravian - German literary tradition, studied law in Prague and was an employee of the Czechoslovak embassy in Berlin. Ungar's literary career began with the publication of a collection oftwo stories, "Boys and Murderers" (1920), which aroused substantial interest in literary circ1es. Thomas Mann saw in Ungar great promise for post-war German prose. With his first novel, "The Maimed" (1922), Ungar confirmed the analytical character ofhis prose, which did not shy away from uncovering even the most concealed pI aces and the greatest taboos of the human psyche. Ungar's heroes are often intemally tom, victims of a traumatic childhood and a society that degrades them to the point that they are only "machines" incapable of deeper interpersonal relationships. It is thus very difficult for them to find the way to themselves and to others. While still working as an official of the Czechoslovak embassy, Ungar published short stories and sketches in magazines in Czechoslovakia and Germany. These short works showed readers his peculiar sense ofhumour. Ungar's second novel, "The Class" (1927), which is set in pre-war Bmo, was the author's apotheosis oflove and respect for others. By an irony of fate Hermann Ungar...

Poliomyelitis and contemporary issues of its eradication
PETRÁŇOVÁ, Monika
This diploma thesis deals with the issue of the eradication of infectious polio and its current problems. Polio is a highly infectious disease of viral origin. The most effective form of protection from the disease is vaccination. The main aim of this work was to determine the major issues in polio surveillance in the Pilsen region at present. Intermediate goals were determined in relation to the main aim: to ascertain the awareness of practicing paediatricians about the principles of poliomyelitis surveillance with an emphasis on diagnosing and reporting cases of acute palsy and further to ascertain the quality of the cooperation between the locally competent public health authority and practicing paediatricians in the field of poliomyelitis surveillance. The work is divided into two parts, theoretical and practical. The practical part was elaborated using a qualitative method based on semi-structured interviews with practicing paediatricians and with the locally competent public health authority. The research was participated in by 9 practicing paediatricians and one public health authority worker from the Pilsen region, with an average length of practice of 20 years. The resulting data was then evaluated by a coding method and divided into schemes according to Švaříček and Šeďová (2007). Three research questions were defined based on the set aims: RQ1: What do practising paediatricians see as the prime problems in polio surveillance? RQ2: How many cases of acute palsy do practising paediatricians record and subsequently report to the competent public health authority? RQ3: What is the quality of the cooperation between practising paediatricians and the locally competent public health authority? The research revealed that, according to the practising paediatricians, the problem in poliomyelitis surveillance is refusal of the vaccination and the associated decreasing immunisation coverage of the population. The next most commonly reported problem was population migration. Furthermore, it was found that not one practising paediatrician recorded or reported cases of acute palsy in their surgery. Only one respondent encountered acute palsy 10 years ago. The answer to the last research question is also apparent from the information obtained. More than half of the respondents agreed that so far there is no cooperation on this issue. Although four respondents stated that the cooperation is at a high level and is of very good quality.

Copyright in the digital age
Kuželka, Kryštof ; Pavlíček, Antonín (advisor) ; Smutný, Zdeněk (referee)
This work is devoted to analysis of the purposes of copyright using analysis of copyright history, current and proposed legal acts and recent lawsuits. It shows that one of the purposes, the one that is mostly the subject of the lawsuits, is the entertainment industry's effort to restrict copying and sharing of digital works to the public. The last part of the thesis offers a solution. The first part analyzes the very concept of copyright, what are the grounds of its protection, and what has changed with the start of the digital age. In the next section there is description and summary of the world's two most important legal acts in the area of copyright protection -- DMCA, representing an act that is in force and ACTA, representing a proposed act. Next section shows the impact of those acts using recent lawsuits divided according to their substance. This section is also showing unjustifiability of some purposes of the copyright protection, especially protection of the right to copy and share. The last part of this thesis introduces a model, which is using the Creative Commons and crowdfunding, and an application that would allow the public to share and copy digital works without limitations while ensuring remuneration to authors.
