The depiction of Others in Armenian sources of the 16th-18th centuries
Kohoutková, Petra ; Šatava, Leoš (advisor) ; Šmíd, Tomáš (referee) ; Aslan, Emil (referee)
The dissertation titled The Depiction of Others in Armenian Sources of the 16th - 18th Centuries is conceived as scholarly research at the boundary between two disciplines - ethnology and history. The introductory chapters devoted to the formation of the stereotypical images of Others and to the fundamental attributes of the Armenian identity served as a sort of springboard for my analysis of Armenian historical texts. Secondarily, they permitted me to tackle the question of the traditional "Us against Them" dichotomy, taking as an example the local Armenian communities and their chief "enemies" - Muslims, heretics and converts. My effort has been to capture the relations between the Armenians and their Muslim neighbors before ethnic stereotypes had been codified during the period of growing nationalism. The main part of the dissertation, titled We and They: Categories of Others in the Eyes of Armenian Chroniclers from the Frontiers, is based mainly on the study of primary sources - period Armenian chronicles and colophons. It is a probe into regional history; a microhistory of the Lake Van region in the 17th and 18th centuries. Reflected in its example is the history of all of the Ottoman Empire and its gradual decline, the deterioration of the standing of the dhimmi and the growing tensions between...

The region, regional policy of the European Union and enlargement 2004
Býma, Petr ; Romancov, Michael (advisor) ; Hnízdo, Bořivoj (referee)
The thesis deals with a region as a basic building unit of the regional policy of the European Union, describing the formation and development of the European regional policy as supranational one and therefore unique on a global scale. With the increasing regional policy budget (this policy being the second most expensive in the Union), the influence of regions proper is growing as well: they are becoming more independent and emancipated. In the running process of globalisation, regions with the highest added value seem to be the best off: innovative regions with qualified labour and a strong connection with the supranational business and information networks. Metropolises, or urban centres, are faring the best in the global competition. The role of these central areas is growing stronger. The task of the regional policy is to balance the differences between these richer, central areas, and peripheral, poorer regions. The enlargement of the European Union by adding ten new member states in 2004 has been accompanied by regional policy reforms as there has been a sharp increase in the number of less developed regions, i.e. those that are entitled to draw upon funds of the European regional policy. Opinions on efficiency of the said policy differ: its proponents see it as the main tool of regional convergence...

Creation of a center for patients with rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis
ŠTOKROVÁ, Veronika
The name of this bachelor thesis is: Establishing a centre for people suffering from rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic, system, inflammatory illness of joints that results in destructions and deformities of joints. It is a characteristic feature of this illness symmetrically that it affects more joints at the same time, which are, in the majority of cases, small joints. Psoriatic arthritis is an inflammatory illness of joints which is accompanied by psoriasis. Psoriatic arthritis affects mainly distal interphalangeal joints of the hands, which makes it basically different from the rheumatoid arthritis. The thesis is divided into two parts. The theoretical part dealt with rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis, priority needs of people suffering from these troubles, and a possible centre for these patients. The empirical part of my thesis was compiled in the form of qualitative research. The technique of collecting data was a semi-structured interview, which was conducted with 8 respondents suffering from rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis, and 5 nurses working at rheumatologic surgeries. The interviews with the particular respondents and nurses were processed into case histories. The most interesting data were processed in the form of categorising tables. The thesis aimed at the following: to find out whether people suffering from these diseases are interested in establishing a centre for clients suffering from rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis, to underline the benefits of such a centre for people suffering from rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis, to underline possibilities of activities held at the centre for people suffering from rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis, and to underline possibilities of involving nurses at the centre for people suffering from rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis. We posed the following research questions: How much are people suffering from rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis interested in establishing the centre? What do people suffering from rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis view the benefits of the centre in? What are the possibilities of involving nurses at the centre for people suffering from rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis? Which activities can be realised at the centre? The results of the research examination show that people suffering from rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis are interested in establishing a centre. They view the benefits of the centre especially in seeing and testing compensation aids, and another benefit for them would be attending expert seminars held by a physician in cooperation with a nurse or, under circumstances, with students. The nurse in the centre would deal with the education, and another possible activity could be holding seminars or cooperation with a physician in basic examinations. The activities that can be realised in the centre are exercises under professional supervision of a physiotherapist, visiting a physician, testing compensation aids or making use of professional advice by an occupational therapist. The results of my bachelor thesis can serve as a foundation for creating a centre for people suffering from rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis.

Thick-film sensors for heavy metals detection
Polický, Jiří ; Adámek, Martin (referee) ; Prášek, Jan (advisor)
This work covers an area of heavy metals detection using thick-film sensors. Fabrication of screen-printed thick-film sensor and electrochemical analytical methods for detection of chemical elements in aqueous solutions are described in this work. Several commercial and own prepared thick-film pastes were used for carbon based working electrodes. The electrochemical properties of the pastes were examined by cadmium ions detection in potassium chloride solution using differential pulse voltammetry. The best results were achieved on the electrode made of direct grown carbon nanotubes on the electrode layer NM22. A detection limit 20×10-6 mol l-1.was reached with this working electrode material during oxidation process.

Parents´ and nurses´ attitude from the general pediatrist surgery, to obligatory and optional children vaccination.
SUCHANOVÁ, Martina
Abstract Vaccination is an important part of medical prevention, particularly as prevention of some infectious diseases. A primary care nurse checks vaccination status and informs parents on vaccination terms. She is responsible for trouble-free course of vaccination. Apart from compulsory vaccination parents may have their children vaccinated against some diseases, which is non-compulsory and paid from private funds. The practical part of the thesis is a combination of quantitative and qualitative research. A questioning method, the questionnaire technique was chosen for the quantitative research, the research sample consisted of parents of children between 0 and 10 years of age. The 1st goal of the research was to map how well parents having 0-10 year old children were informed on compulsory and non-compulsory vaccination in České Budějovice. A hypothesis was set upon the chosen goal: Parents of 0-10 year old children are informed on compulsory and non-compulsory vaccination. The hypothesis was confirmed. The 2nd goal was to find out what the most frequent fears of vaccination were among parents of 0-10 year old children. The hypothesis formulated to this goal, that parents of 0-10 year old children were afraid of vaccination side effects was not confirmed. A half of the questioned parents have fears. The 3rd goal was to find whether parents were was interested in non-compulsory vaccination. The hypothesis set to this goal, that parents of 0-10 year old children are interested in non-compulsory vaccination was confirmed. The quantitative research employed a questioning method, the technique of depth interview with nurses working at paediatric surgeries in České Budějovice. The fourth goal was to map the role of a nurse in motivating parents to have their children vaccinated. A research question was based on the chosen goal: What is the role of a nurse in motivating parents to have their children vaccinated? I found from interviews with the nurses that a nurse motivates parents through information on vaccination, vaccination terms, on contradiction and adverse responses. She helps solve vaccination related problems. The bachelor thesis may improve knowledge among students, parents and nurses working at paediatric practitioner surgeries and among the public interested in vaccination.

Project management and implementation of its methods in the realization of selected operational programs
ŠVEJDOVÁ, Helena
In this thesis, titled Project management and implementation of its methods in the realization of selected operational programs, focuses on South Bohemian region, evaluated its potential funding priorities that need to be addressed and to which can be obtained financial support for the programming period 2007-2013. Also focus on private and public entities of South Bohemian region, on areas in which most financial benefit from EU funds are used and the problems associated with them. The theoretical section defines the regional policy of the European Union, the basic meaning and the main purpose of the economic and social cohesion. Also focuses on regional policy in the Czech Republic itself, the operational programs for the programming period 2007-2013 for the Czech Republic and the issue of project management. The aim of this study is to evaluate the implementation process of selected operational programs and using project management methods to develop a proposal for the management company for their solution. The evaluation shows that the South region in its founding document Regional Development Programme has defined those priorities which reflect the intentions of the European Communities, which can be documented by the fact that in these areas is to aid in the European Union intended. So there is enough space on which to set strategic goals and measures to meet the region. Likewise, the results of the survey show a large activity in drawing financial resources from the EU. Also show some problems and obstacles associated with requests for financial support from EU funds. Overcoming these problems and obstacles could open the possibility of utilization of resources and finances small businesses and entities for which it was still unrealistic.

REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND THE TERRITORIAL PROTECTION OF RURAL ARCHITECTURE COMPLEXES IN VILLAGES IN ČESKÁ LÍPA DISTRICT
HANZLÍČKOVÁ, Markéta
The territorial protection of historical monuments has been ensured by law since the fifties and the preservation of landscape complexes is more and more emphasised. In the Czech Republic, there are 40 town heritage reserves and 61 village reserves. Cores of historic cities futher protected by 209 town heritage zones nad 164 village heritage zones. Then Conditions int the Czech Republic call for an individual aproach that might be of interes for small historic cities and villages and their micro-regions. The regional development in rural areas, especially in village heritage reserves and village heritage zones should be improved very quickly. This fact has to be reflected in the strategy of the rural areas development as well as in the local resources affordable for safeguarding of culture heritage. The strategy of social and economy development programme should be based on support and use of 2 basic items {--} a city in which the unique character must be protected for future generations and a city as a high quality place for life and work for its citizens. For taking this strategy program in life is high level of cooperation between public on one side and municiple offices and government on the other side really key and necessary. The fact is that regional development and the territorial protection of village heritage zones and reserves are quite important issues at the time and their importance will be increasing in future. It is necessary to create a database of technological procedures of heritage skills and crafts, information how to get financial support etc. and support the publishig of the saved knowledge and its distribution in all sites. This is the only way how to save our cultural treasure for future generations.

Right to life
DIVIŠOVÁ, Petra
My baccalaureate work deals with the issue of right of life. From the very outset of the existence of mankind the human race has been concerned with the question of right over life and death and in the 21st century the mankind has not yet managed to solve this dilemma in a satisfying way. Right of life poses a basic human right which is the pre-requisition of all other values. The objective of this work has been to find out whether it represents a truly universal right or whether there are exceptional situations in which this right is not always applicable. In my baccalaureate work I have focussed on the issue of right of life as related to an unborn child. I wondered whether an unborn child should be subject to rights and whether the public gives him or her right of the right of life. The theoretical section of my paper deals with the protection of an unborn life from the legal, medical, psychological and religious points of view. The empirical section of my paper consists in my own research in form of a public opinion survey regarding the question whether an unborn child should enjoy the same right of life as a person already born and whether the public would appreciate a more rigid protection of this human right in case of an unborn child. The research results show that an unborn child enjoys only a generally interpreted right of life. The society does not guarantee an unborn child the same right of life as in the case of a person already born. Not even the public has expressed the need of a stronger unborn life protection. According to the current public opinion, the society is not authorised to guarantee the right of life of an unborn child by legislation, it is solely and exclusively the mother who can decide about the protection and life of a conceived child. The public expects the issue of human right of life of a conceived child to be solved more on the preventive than on the repressive level. Prevention is also the priority of the appropriate state social policy. Further research in this field could focus on the issue of the impact of state social policy on the decision-making process in women as related to their unborn children.

Impact of investment incentives on employment and development of a region
Hrušková, Petra ; Rybáček, Václav (advisor) ; Šmíd, Jan (referee)
Práce se zaměřuje na problematiku investičních pobídek jako formy veřejné podpory a jejich vlivů na nezaměstnanost a rozvoj regionu. Veřejná podpora je primárně definována ve Smlouvě o založení ES. Danou problematiku pak detailněji rozpracovávají dva dokumenty: Pokyny k vnitrostátní regionální podpoře a Multisektorální rámec pro regionální pomoc velkým investičních projektům. V ČR je pak základním dokumentem zákon č. 72/2000 Sb., o investičních pobídkách. Investiční pobídky mohou mít formu slevy na dani, převodu technicky vybaveného území, hmotné podpory vytváření nových pracovních míst, hmotné podpory rekvalifikace nebo školení zaměstnanců a převody pozemků. Investiční pobídky jsou určeny na podporu zaostalých regionů a regionů s vysokou mírou nezaměstnanosti. Při analýze investičních pobídek je zkoumán jejich vliv na vývoj míry nezaměstnanosti a HDP. Analytická část je rozdělena na 2 části - část týkající se celé České republiky a část týkající se okresu Beroun. V závěru práce jsou uvedeny argumenty zastánců a "odpůrců" systému investičních pobídek.
