Non-contractual institutions of using an original work of authorship
Jonáková, Eva ; Žikovská, Petra (referee) ; Wünschová Pujmanová, Alexandra (referee)
57 Summary The subject of my graduation thesis is "The ban and restriction of certain types of conventional weapons in armed conflicts". First, it was necessary to define that as conventional weapons are understood all weapons not being weapons of mass destruction, to explain that the ban and restrictions can take many different forms, and finally, to define, to which kind of armed conflicts the humanitarian rules are to be applied. A brief review of the advance on the field of ban and restrictions of certain conventional weapons has been given, including the historical context. From medieval times, when the only international authority, capable of at least trying to moderate the horrors of war, was the pope, over the first agreements of "civilised nations" in the times before the World War I, to the modern conventions adopted after World War II. Great attention is paid to the Declaration of St.Petersburg and to the so-called law of Hague (consisting of many agreements, today a part of the customary law), which as the first documents state, that the progress of civilization should have the effect of alleviating as much as possible the calamities of war, and they contain the prohibition of use of weapons which uselessly aggravate the sufferings and the Hague law even the prohibition of non-discriminating use...

Modern women's narrative writing in Islamic countries (Iran - Saudi Arabia)
Vojtíšková, Věra ; Marek, Jan (advisor) ; Veselý, Rudolf (referee)
The aim of the thesis Modern Women's Narrative Writing in Islamic Countries (Iran - Saudi Arabia) is to compare the situation of women writers on the Iranian and Saudi literary stages, to give an overview of the literary activities of the women fiction writers from both countries, to track down thematic motifs in the chosen writers' works, and to compare the authors' approaches to particular motifs. In order that the view of the situation in both societies is complete, the thesis includes also a brief historical/political development of both states in the time relevant for the modern literary output, that is the 19th and 20th centuries till today. The second chapter serves the same purpose as the first one, it describes and compares the women's situation in the Iranian and Saudi societies, and the local women's movements, for there has always been a link between women's literary activities and their emancipatory efforts.

Web 2.0 in nonprofit sector
Lacey, Věra ; Pospíšilová, Tereza (advisor) ; Skovajsa, Marek (referee)
This work describes the use by Czech NGO1s of "Web 2.0", and attempts to identify relevant issues involved in its implementation. Many issues relating to Web 2.0 implementation (e.g.motivation, context, costs, impact) have been linked to various organisational theories. A model of implementation based solely upon these theories was initially devised, and subsequently modified to reflect the reality of the situation in NGOs, following the completion of research based upon phone interviews. The most frequently used applications were found to be discussion forums and chatrooms. These were primarily implemented to overcome physical distance and engage with youth audiences. They were also usually intended to improve external communication, although they have been found often to miss this purpose and not fulfil original expectations - often due to poor quality of content, as opposed to problems of content control and security, as were often anticipated The impact of Web 2.0 has as yet been largely unfelt by Czech NGOs. Whilst organisations may feel it desirable to participace in all technological advances, poorly conceived or ad-hoc implementations have been shown to provide little or no benefit. However, well-planned approaches that ensure appropriate deployment for the right target audience can provide huge...

Yoga - Antistress System
Lošťák, Jiří ; Potměšil, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Čichoň, Rostislav (referee)
Name of the thesis: Yoga-anti stress system Goals of the thesis: Today's hasty time brings lots of negative impact on humans. People are always busy having no time for themselves especially for their body and mind. The goal of this thesis is to prove a positive impact of yoga exercise on human body and mind. Other impact involves stress elimination. By the help of this thesis I would like to demonstrate that an everyday yoga implementation can lead to a total anti stress and relaxing way oflife without any stress response. Methods: The thesis is based on a specific yoga exercise targeted at body and mind stress elimination. This exercise was done by pre-determined groups of di:fferent-age yoga gymnasts (either beginners or intermediate ones). The beginners were examined with the help of interviews, observation or questionnaires in a given time span (6 months). At the beginning of the research a form was filled in with appropriate data and after six months the process was replayed. Afterwards, on grounds of given data proper changes in questionnaire points have been analysed. Other interviewees undergoing the research comprised yoga non-practising individuals, intermediate yoga gymnasts and advanced individuals. The research of these groups was based on a comparison method (condition before the...

Optimization of the company tax liability
Blažková, Monika ; Kislingerová, Eva (advisor) ; Zámečník, Petr (referee)
This thesis introduces the tax system of the Czech Republic. The corporate income tax in particular is specified in bigger detail. Its basic structural elements are described with the focus on the transformation of the accountable profit to the tax base. The practical part is divided into chapters, each of which deals with the optimization of the amount of the real tax liability. The content, instruments mentioned and methods for decreasing company tax liability applied suggest this work more likely addresses smaller and medium-sized companies. These companies need what is referred to as tax planning. This thesis analyzes the possibilities of the use of tax-deductible items provided by law, tax abatements; further it specifies cost and revenue conception of tax optimalization or more precisely the amount of the accountable profit or tax base. The aim of the practical part is to identify tax optimization possibilities and to compare on concrete cases what tax saving or other advantages to the taxpayer each method brings.

Versatile use of liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry in drug metabolism studies
Suchanová, Bohumila ; Wsól, Vladimír (advisor) ; Solich, Petr (referee) ; Lemr, Karel (referee)
Human organism has always been exposed to a vast array of chemicals encountered in the environment. Chemical revolution has significantly influenced biological evolution of humans leading to serious unpredictable toxicities. In response to continual chemical stress they have developed a variety of enzymes to transform these xenobiotics. Xenobiotics are mostly highly lipophilic and cannot readily be excreted from the body without metabolism to more hydrophilic, water-soluble metabolites. Not only environmental chemicals represent xenobiotics but also drugs, dietary components etc. Biotransformation studies play an important role in the drug discovery and development process. Usually data from drug metabolism is required before a new substance can advance towards the development stages of a new therapeutic agent. Data on metabolism is frequently used to optimize drug candidates, suggest more active compounds or support toxicology studies. The increased flux of new chemical entities into drug discovery has placed an increased need for fast and reliable information on the metabolism of these substances. Liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry can meet demands for rapid drugs and metabolites analysis imposed by modern drug discovery strategies. This dissertation thesis presents an evidence...

Furthermore, we evaluated anthropometric values respondents, where it is evident that with increasing age, all data and increase at Roma boys and girls from 8 classes begin to vary significantly. It could be say that our research has disproved the universally valid opinion when he says that thanks to the Indian origin Roma are smaller and lighter than the Czechs. This is due to the fact that in man, as in each species, occurring type diversity (variability), it means that...

The rise of African American radicalism and the fall of the African American-Jewish coalition in the United States
Urban, Daniel ; Ulmanová, Hana (referee) ; Calda, Miloš (advisor)
This work aims at examining the origins of the civil rights coaiition between African Americans and American Jews, its achievements and its fall following the rise of radicalism among African Americans and other historical developments in the late 1960s. It is clear that the abolition of slavery alone did not bring about social, economic and political integration of African Americans. Black codes and unwritten discriminatory customs prevented them from securing their rightful and equal place among white Americans. In order to fight racism and discrimination and support integration more effectively, African Americans started to organize in a number of organizations including the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA). However, because they lacked leadership, funding as well as organizational skills, they needed an ally and American Jews proved to be a dexterous one. There were a number of things that African Americans and Jews shared at that time: no ne of the two ethnic groups had a homeland in the sense that for example Italian Americans did before World War II. African Americans recognized and understood the fact that Jews had been living in poor conditions and under a constant threat to their lives in Europe. Furthermore,...

Multidimensional Indexing for relational DBMS
Hoksza, David ; Kopecký, Michal (referee) ; Skopal, Tomáš (advisor)
The goal of this work was to implement a multidimensional indexing method into a database system and compare this method with existing implemtations of multidimensional indexing methods in current database platforms (MSSQL, Oracle, ... ). PostgreSQL was chosen for the implementation, because it suits the requirements of integrating own access methods in a modular way. The active development comunity which this platform unites has also played a part, since it assures help with problems related to the development. Last but not least, PostgreSQL was also chosen because its source code is accessible This was priceless in the effort of understanding the core of PostgreSQL (mainly work with memory), which has direct influence on user defined access methods, especially indexes. An already existing implementation of R-tree over object framework ATOM was used as an indexing method, which allows implementing of persistent tree structures. As a direct consequence of the work, not only has arised the implementation of Rtree in PostgreSQL, but also a generic framework which allows implementing external indexing in PostgreSQL with a minimum knowledge of how PostgreSQL works. The user of the framework implements his/her own persistent searchnig methods and connects these methods to the mentioned framework, which provides...
