Hannah Arendt's concept of thought and action
Štech, Daniel ; Němec, Václav (referee) ; Kouba, Pavel (advisor)
The present thesis follows the distinction made by Hannah Arendt between the life of the mind and vita activa. In her earlier writings, Arendt presents acting in concert as a supreme human possibility. The devaluation of active life in the Western tradition is seen as related to the subordination of the experience of action to the experience of thought, which presupposes a turning away from the world of phenomena and plurality. With respect to the ability to act, Arendt understands thought as marginal or even detrimental. On this note, she contrasts thought with opinion, a specifically political attitude bound to the experience of action and plurality. Following the process with Eichmann, however, this image saw a revision. With the collapse of the public sphere, the dependence of the ability to tell right from wrong on the activity of thought became more prominent. Subsequent considerations therefore shift to the sphere of the mind. In the light of the corpus of Arendt's works, the present thesis enquires into the nature of mental acts required for adequate action. The first part presents political thought within the situation of plurality. The second part takes into account the collapse of the public sphere and deals with the uneasy relationship between thought and the ability to relate to the common...

Ritualization of death and dying in the Revolution of 1848: the cult of the dead
Randák, Jan ; Hlavačka, Milan (advisor) ; Řepa, Milan (referee)
non-traditional view of the subject of the revolutionary year of 1848. While a vast majority of the existing research has been focused on the course of the revolution, particular political camps and leaders of the contemporary movement, I have put emphasis on a phenomenon seemingly concealed and disregarded. My attention was aimed on the dead, the victims of the events of this hectic period. Death as such has indeed been a traditional interest of historians, nevertheless, reception and reflection thereof in a political or rather a revolutionary context is a fairly less regarded subject. Therefore, I have laid out an indeed concrete topíc in my thesis - ritualisation of death and dying during the revolution of 1848. A simple question is apparent: why study this subject of the dead and victims in the Czech context when no major fights occured here and thus the number of fatalities was not extreme? After reading my thesis the answer com es up as obviously as the question does: despite a relatively low body count of the Pentecost events in June 1848, a cult of the dead and victims of the revolution 1848 is present in the course of the few restless months. The cult of the dead was a sophisticated means of using the victims to promote particular interests of both the reformatory and revolutionary camp as well as...

Ritualization of death and dying in the Revolution of 1848: the cult of the dead
Randák, Jan ; Hlavačka, Milan (advisor) ; Řepa, Milan (referee) ; Kořalka, Jiří (referee)
Looking apart from subsidiary topics, the presented thesis generally attempts to take a non-traditional view of the subject of the revolutionary year of 1848. While a vast majority of the existing research has been focused on the course of the revolution, particular political camps and leaders of the contemporary movement, I have put emphasis on a phenomenon seemingly concealed and disregarded. My attention was aimed on the dead, the victims of the events of this hectic period. Death as such has indeed been a traditional interest of historians, nevertheless, reception and reflection thereof in a political or rather a revolutionary context is a fairly less regarded subject.

SAP SMB: The solution for small and midsize businesses
Drugda, Marek ; Basl, Josef (advisor) ; Raška, Ondřej (referee)
Malé a středně velké podniky tvoří významnou součást celosvětového podnikatelského prostředí. Jako rostou, potřebují jejich řídící pracovníci podporu v jejich snaze tyto podniky efektivně vést. Proto tyto podniky v rostoucí míře poptávají robustní řešení informačních systémů. Jedním z nejvýznamnějších výrobců informačních systémů je společnost SAP. Tato dnes nabízí produkty speciálně určené pro segment malých a středně velkých podniků. První z produktů, mySAP All-in-One, je primárně určen středně velkým podnikům, které vyžadují vysokou úroveň jeho přizpůsobení jejich požadavkům. Další z produktů, SAP Business One, je určen podnikům malým, vyžaduje relativně nízké náklady na pořízení a implementaci, a nabízí značnou funkcionalitu v oblastech jako jsou řízení skladu, CRM, účetnictví, a umožňuje celkovou vynikající práci s podnikovými informacemi. Ve svém zkoumání 33 případových studií nacházím odpověď na otázku, ve kterých aspektech je SAP Business One pro podniky, které ho zavedly, největším přínosem. Ve svém zkoumání se soustřeďuji na důvody k potřebě nového informačního systému, na požadavky které na něj podniky kladou, a hlavně na zlepšení, které jim jeho zavedení přineslo. Výsledkem je závěr z větší části shodný s marketingovými tvrzeními společnosti SAP, a to že tento systém přináší pro podniky největší zlepšení v podpoře jejich rozhodování, v zefektivnění podnikových procesů a v možnostech dalšího rozšíření nevyžadujícího další velké investice.
