Correspodence between quantoids and matroids
Miklín, Vojtěch ; Matúš, František (advisor) ; Mohammadi, Fatemeh (referee)
The notion of quantoid is an analogy to the notion of matroid in the context of quantum realm. This thesis summarizes basic properties of quantoids and the correspondence between quantoids and selfdual matroids. A new set of axioms is derived as an alternative to the set which was used as the original definition of quantoid. A catalog enumerating all quantoids with the size of their ground set up to 5 elements is attached in the appendix and a larger database of quantoids (up to 7 elements in the ground set) is enclosed as an attachment of this thesis.

Between Art and Politics: Disunity of Black Drama during the Harlem Renaissance
Polák, Ondřej ; Wallace, Clare (advisor) ; Ulmanová, Hana (referee)
v Abstract The goal of this work is to prove and map out a split within the newly formed African American drama during the period of the Harlem Renaissance. A split between politicized plays that were used as a tool to raise the spirit and awareness of African Americans, and the "folk plays" that put emphasis on artistic expression without overtly focusing on protest or political agenda. This duality, personified by W.E.B. Du Bois and Alain Locke, defined black drama in the period between 1916 and 1937, and the thesis explains it both from the thoretical standpoint as well as a practical one - meaning from the standpoint of its two philosophical leads as well within the plays themselves. First, the thesis shows the point of view of W.E.B. Du Bois, who stood behind the idea of "propagandistic" plays, and then the view of his opponent Alain Locke, who wanted to let go of outright political agenda and instead sought to legitimize the position of African Americans through artistic merit. Both of these lines of thought garnered following in playwrights, which in turn caused the duality. The thesis goes on to map each ideology separately, along with plays that lean towards it. More specifically it examines Rachel, For Unborn Children, Don't You Want To Be Free? from the Protest School and The Broken Banjo, Plumes...

The world of Arlt's tales
Bláhová, Tereza ; Housková, Anna (advisor) ; Sánchez Fernández, Juan Antonio (referee)
The main focus of this thesis is the interpretation of the view of the world in two of the short stories of Argentinean writer Roberto Arlt. The thesis is based on essay of the foundation, evolution and theory of short story. Both the global point of view and the perspectives of Hispano-American authors Horacio Quiroga, Julio Cortázar and Jorge Luis Borges are considered. In addition, this work describes Argentinean society at the turn of the 19th into the 20th century, the society being the main period of Arlt's pieces. The context of the literature in Buenos Aires in the 1920s and 1930s is also described to introduce the writer's position among his contemporaries. A brief introduction of Roberto Arlt's biography and writings is included as background. All of these factors are addressed in the analysis of the short stories "The Little Hunchback" and "Ester Primavera." The analysis is targeted at the style and method used to create the short stories and about the acts and life situations of its characters. Arlt's integration of lower social class and colloquial language in literature, his interest in the individual existence, and the gradual elimination of the boundary between reality and fiction, inspired many writers of the following generation.

A Four-Valued Kripke Semantics for Classical and Intuitionistic Logic
Přenosil, Adam ; Bílková, Marta (advisor) ; Cintula, Petr (referee)
The thesis introduces a logic which combines intuitionistic implication with de Morgan negation in a way which conservatively extends both classical and intuitionistic logic. This logic is the intuitionistic counterpart of the four-valued Belnap-Dunn logic. In relation to this logic, we study de Morgan algebras and their expansions, in particular their expansion with a constant representing inconsistency. We prove a duality for such algebras extending the Priestley duality. We also introduce a weak notion of modal algebra and prove a duality for such algebras. We then define analytic sequent calculi for various logics of de Morgan negation. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

The Labour Market in Traditional and Light Industry in Pre-modern and Modern Japan
Klička, Petr ; Labus, David (advisor) ; Sýkora, Jan (referee)
In this thesis I focus on the Japanese labour market in agriculture, traditional, semi-traditional and modern light industry between the 1730s and 1950s. In the first chapter I introduce institutional theory and path dependance theory which serve as my conceptual frame. In the second chapter I present a broad definition of the modern period based on Kito's demographical periodization of Japanese history. In the third and fourth chapter I analyze the institutional structure of agriculture and by-employments that dominated the modern labour market. In conclusion I discuss the connection of this structure to heavy industry and its implications for the current dual labour market.

Fieldwork in the Jewish community in Prague
Adlerová, Nina ; Řezáčová, Vendula (advisor) ; Paulíček, Miroslav (referee)
This bachelor thesis "Fieldwork in the Jewish community in Prague" is concerned with the social identity of young Czech Jews. The aim of this work is to describe the duality, or hybridity of identity based on the blending of two distinct identities, namely Czech and Jewish identity. There is also an effort to transcribe the self-reflection bearers of these identities in their everyday lives. This work relies on the work of several prominent authors handling with social, or ethnic identity, and also on earlier research conducted by Dana Bittnerová on national and ethnic minorities living in the Czech Republic. The basis of this work is anthropological fieldwork, which focused primarily on members of one particular group, which is part of the Prague community. This group is called Czech Union of Jewish youth. This research was consisted of participant observation organized events or events arising spontaneously and of interviews with selected respondents. It is shown that for all the observed, Jewishness and Czechness are an integral part of their identities, of whom they are. And that these two identities are closely intertwined. Jewish identity is indeed imperative, but to maintain a strong identity is also necessary process of self-identification. The signs of declared identity are also important...

Chinese Dual Exchange Rate
Kotoun, Karel ; Stuchlíková, Zuzana (advisor) ; Erbenová, Monika (referee)
The purpose of this thesis is to shed some light on the substance of Chinese monetary system of which complexity is a major obstacle for Czech entrepreneurs and tourists. It is a very rigid system, strongly overseen by Chinese Administration that uses the exchange rate as one of the main tools for achieving its macroeconomic goals, despite its tremendous costs. Therefore I deal with the essence of the Chinese monetary system derived from the monetary-archetypal experience of Chinese individuals. The first segment is focused on the history of Chinese currencies and scale systems. The second segment concentrates on a thorough understanding of the Chinese monetary system and on projections of RMB positions in the world. In addition to that, I deal with the outcomes of questionnaire survey distributed to Czech entrepreneurs commercializing with Chinese counterparts. The third segment is dedicated to the creation of an alternative monetary model based on the combination of RMB system and SDR system with a potential application on the European Union. The motivation for the selection of this topic was an immensely interesting history of Chinese money and monetary systems, alongside with my inclination towards Chinese culture spurred by my Mandarin studies.
