A cycle about love written by Princess Alexandra of Dietrichstein, married Countess Schouwaloff: German Love, Italian Love, Russian Love, Swiss Love.
MUSILOVÁ, Martina
The bachelor thesis focuses on selected literary pieces written in French by Alexandrine Schouwaloff, married Dietrichstein (1775-1847), a noblewoman of Russian descent. The handwritten works survived in Dietrichstein´s Family Archives in the Moravian Land Archives in Brno. The first part of the thesis concentrates on life of the countess. I have felt the necessity of describing the turn of the Eighteenth and Nineteenth century, its cultural milieu where the writer lived as well as her background and later life when she wrote her books. The following part presents the author's writings of literary and personal nature. The love cycle contains four novellas - German Love, Italian Love, Russian Love, Swiss Love - which are analyzed based on genre, themes and narrative. The analysis and interpretation of selected excerpts reveal the applied linguistic method and its function in the text. The objective of my thesis is to introduce the writer as an unknown artist, integrate her within the literary and historical framework of her period and reveal at least a small part of her unpublished literary heritage.

Zubíková, Adéla ; Chytil, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Zeman, Karel (referee)
This thesis seeks to verify the concept of so-called resource curse at the beginning of the new millennium. The theoretical part defines the symptoms of the alleged curse, curse transmission channels and criticism of the concept. Compared to other studies dealing with the theme of the resource curse this work is not focused on just one transmission channel. The practical part verifies several hypotheses established by comparing research papers on impacts of natural resources. The validity of the Prebisch-Singer hypothesis, Dutch disease symptoms and a negative impact on political institutions (inclination toward authoritarianism, high level of corruption, high government spending, low efficiency of economic and political decision-making and low investment in education) is verified. For the analysis have been selected two African countries (Nigeria and Botswana) and two advanced countries (Canada and Norway). The last part of this thesis provides policy implications. The results confirm the Prebisch-Singer hypothesis for selected commodities in the long term and some of the symptoms of Dutch disease at the beginning of the new millennium. Hypotheses regarding the impact on the political institutions have not been confirmed, since the results varied across the countries. The high vulnerability of the countries to movements in commodity prices was found.
