Nedvědová, Milada ; Gladkova, Hana (advisor) ; Marvan, Jiří (referee) ; Honzak-Jahić, Jasna (referee)
During the historical development the larger part of the south Slavs (Slovenes, Croats, partly the Serbs and the population of Bosnia and Herzegovina) and the west Slavs (Czechs and Slovaks) had become the part of one state - the Habsburg Monarchy or the Austrian Empire and later the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. The 19th century means for all mentioned Slavic nations the culmination of their tasks for emancipation; the stabilization of the language norm and the achievement of the intellectual entity. The historical and cultural situation in the common state during the 19th century opens areal, socio-linguistic and diachronic view on the codification processes by the particular nations, which are organized from one political centre by the common educational and administrative-political system. Secular education of better quality had led all the nations of the state to the cultural and political emancipation, which resulted in the destruction of monarchy. The first part of the work deals with the key moments of the history of the Slavs in the Habsburg Monarchy till the 19th century. From the Great Moravia and the Slavic mission of Cyril and Methodius, creation of the independent Slavic states, till their final integration to the Habsburg Monarchy. It focuses on the development of the literary languages -...

Generalization and specification of lexical meaning in contemporary translation of fiction
Kubáčková, Jana ; Jettmarová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Čermák, František (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to discuss the notions of generalization and specification as universal trends in translation and potential candidates for the status of universals of translation. Methods used in empirical research are also discussed in some detail. Chapters 1 and 2 focus on generalization and specification in the context of Descriptive Translation Studies, Corpus-Based Translation Studies and the work of the translation scholar Jiří Levý. Chapter 2 further attempts to present a comprehensive picture of both potential universals by examining the notion of lexical meaning and the issue of synonymy in the context of lexicology and stylistics. Finally, it draws attention to typological (systemic) differences between Czech and English and the impact these differences have on shifts of lexical meaning in terms of generalization/specification and on the use of electronic corpora. Chapter 3 outlines the three following stages of empirical research in terms of materials and methods. It presents a description of the three sets of corpora (a large monolingual comparable corpus, a parallel unidirectional English-Czech corpus, and a parallel corpus of one original and two translations), the choice of texts, reference corpora and corpus-processing software tools. Texts analysed in the three types of corpora...

Telecommunication Operator's Switch Translocation Using Best Practice ITIL
Drábik, Dušan ; Bruckner, Tomáš (advisor) ; Slaba, Rudolf (referee)
The goal of this thesis was set to meet the demands of a telecommunication operator that needed to solve its problems with lack of capacity by switch translocation. This thesis thus may significantly increase the chances of success of this organizationally challenging task by finding relevant best practise ITIL. The thesis sets the method for relevant best practice ITIL selection using the table where columns represent metrics and risks of the project while rows represent elements from chapter Release and Deployment Management. Results of this method are recommendations that should be implemented in the project plans. The advantage of this ITIL-based method is that it is customer oriented and uses clear terminology. The benefits of this method may be increased when used in synergy by companies that implemented ITIL processes.

Oral components in the Czech sign language
Mareš, Jindřich ; Macurová, Alena (advisor) ; Richterová, Klára (referee)
The present bachelor's thesis analyzes oral components (also referred to as mouth gestures) in the Czech sign language. These are defined as all movements of mouth used in Czech sign language that do not have source in Czech spoken language. At the beginning of this thesis, the author puts his attention on definitions of oral components in comparison with other means of Czech sign language, which with they share the same place of articulation - especially in regards to so-called mouthings. In next chapters, the author concentrates on formal and semantic characteristics of observed means, their differentiation and processes, which can have effect on their forming. That is followed by discussion about the role and status of language oral components in Czech sign language, proposal for record of these means and their selective overview. The purpose of this thesis is to make first insight into the issues of oral components in Czech sign language, supported by foreign and Czech professional literature and provide basis for future research.

Teacher's questions in the teaching of mathematics
Růžičková, Lucie
This diploma thesis studies various ways of observing mathematics teachers' questions, with particular respect to the possible influence of the questions on learners' cognitive processes and on the quality of acquired mathematical knowledge. There are two main aims: to create plausible criteria for characterising mathematics teachers' questions and to compile a collection of authentic communicational situations. On the basis of empirical research, certain phenomena of communication that are worth observing in mathematics classrooms for the purposes of the study of teachers' questions are described. A collection of concrete examples illustrating the actual occurrences of each of the described phenomena forms an integral part of the results. The significance of corrective questions from the point of view of cognitive impact on learners is emphasized and their further exploration is suggested.

Regions in the European integration process
Štoková, Daniela ; Dubský, Zbyněk (advisor) ; Abrhám, Josef (referee)
Over time, the position of the regions within the European integration process was gaining on significance. The emancipation processes of the 1970s and 1980s set off by advancing decentralization on one hand, and a wave of new regionalism on the other later evolved into a debate about a "Europe of the regions". Although it is obvious that this concept does not have a broad support any more, the regional level was able to seize the opportunity and secure itself a better position in the integration process -- not only as an object and instrument of EU policies, but also as another actor in the decision-making process. The aim of the thesis was to analyze the position of the regions in the European integration process as well as to deal with the topic in a broader theoretical perspective (regionalism, multi-level governance, paradiplomacy). To fulfill this aim the thesis answered following research questions: "What incited the debate about the Europe of the regions and what were the imminent outcomes of the debate?" "Which structures can the regions use to access the European policy level and what influences their efficiency?" and "To what extent are these structures used by Czech regions? Methods used to answer these research questions included analysis of available sources and literature, historical analysis and a survey.

Innovation of planning process and control of JCL scripts on mainframe system project
Valášek, Petr ; Střížová, Vlasta (advisor) ; Koblížek, Aleš (referee)
The aim of this diploma thesis is to create, for a particular company, an innovative approach for the ongoing process of planning and verification of JCL scripts integrated in the system mainframe. These processes are currently inefficient and must be improved. During the planning process of JCL scripts an internal application will be created that increases team effectiveness and simplifies the preparation of procurement reports. With the internal application the company will also need a system upgrade of the mainframe Control-M from BMC software company, which will significantly improve the process of verifying JCL scripts. This thesis includes a functional application with the source code.

Discrimination, information and cognitive effects : evidence from a field experiment in the Czech rental housing market
Bartoš, Vojtěch ; Princ, Michael (referee) ; Bauer, Michal (advisor)
Aim of this thesis is to shed light on discriminative behavior of landlords in the Czech rental housing market using our data from a double blind Internet field experiment. The experimental design allows us to study the processes of choice of the landlords deciding about inviting or not inviting a particular member of a minority group to a visit of the offered flat. We control for various characteristics that may influence the resulting outcome and we try to disentangle their effects. Mainly we control for the minority group effect, for the effect of education and several cognitive factors that, according to a rich socio-psychological and behavioral-economical literature, affect the decision making. We introduce an innovative tool that allows us to study landlord's behavior using a special online mouse tracking program based on widely used MouseLab. The thesis is a part of a comprehensive research studying discrimination of minorities and the role of information in the Czech rental housing market.
