The informed consent of a patient
Jurošková, Martina ; Sovová, Olga (advisor) ; Císařová, Dagmar (referee)
The informed Consent of a Patient Informed consent from the patient is one of the most interesting institutes of the medical law. Today it belongs to the basic principles of the medical law, but its development was rather complicated. Initially, this may date to the late 18th century, when the requirements governing the relationship of doctor and patient appear. Over time, the courts handle issues concerning informed consents or patients' non-acceptance. Until the middle of 20th century, almost the whole Europe discovers paternalistic understanding of the relationship doctor and patient. It is on such a concept, when a doctor determines the treatment and the patient is only a subject to the treatment. The doctor has a critical position and the patient must slave his decisions. Change in the concept came after the World War II. Doctor's and patient's relationship slowly begins to change and it becomes closer to a relationship of service providers and clients. In the Czech Republic, a mix of both can be found. Great importance to the informed consent has the adoption of Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Dignity of the Human Being with Regard to the Application of Biology and Medicine (Convention on Human Rights and Biomedicine) concluded in Oviedo on 4.April 19971 st The institute of...

IMF Quota Formula
Habalová, Veronika ; Parízek, Michal (advisor) ; Kučerová, Irah (referee)
The IMF has been facing criticism in recent years. Its legitimacy has been undermined as some members, despite their economic performance, are still underrepresented in IMF's decision making and its activities leave mixed evidence about their success. Being a crucial condition for institution's existence, legitimacy of the Fund's governance needs to be restored. This thesis tries to find such specification of formula, which would make allocation of votes more credible and fair. Based on the assumption that perception of the Fund's legitimacy would improve if developing countries were better represented and allocation of votes could not be subject to manipulation, a new procedure of vote allocation is designed. New formulas include population as one of the variables as a solution of the emerging powers' insufficient involvement. Using principal components analysis allows automatic assignment of weights, which results in more objective mechanism of votes allocation. As there is a significant discrepancy between voting weights and actual voting power measured by Banzhaf index, also formulas incorporating power indices are investigated. Based on quantitative and qualitative criteria, these four different mechanisms are assessed. Thesis concludes that any of these formulas would be an improvement in comparison...

The notion of Indianness in contemporary American literature with a focus on female authors
Pekárková, Eva ; Volná, Ludmila (referee) ; Nováková, Soňa (advisor)
In the US 2000 Census, the number of Indian-Americans reached 1,678,765 people. It is the second largest Indian diaspora in the world preceded only by that in Myanmar, which comes near to three million.1 In January 2008, the Indian-American community gained a very important victory in politics through the appointment of Bobby Jindal as the Governor of Louisiana.2 Although his political views and decisions have been a source of disappointment and have provoked serious criticism, he is nonetheless the first Indian-American to reach higher echelons of power. The American cultural sphere has also felt 'the Indian touch'. In 2000 Jhumpa Lahiri, a young Indian female writer, was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for her collection of short stories. Aishwarya Rai has successfully avoided being remembered only as the 1994 Miss World and has appeared in numerous Bollywood and Hollywood productions. In 2003 she was the first Indian actress to be a member of the Cannes Film Festival jury. Her male colleagues have yet to wait to be thus honoured. The Indian community in the US obviously does not exist in a vacuum. With no physical borders limiting the interaction with the American majority, the two cultures mix and influence each other. The Indian community is neither isolated nor homogeneous. It reacts outwards to the...
