Order and Ideology in the Czech Drama of the 20th century
Janoušek, Pavel
Drama is comprehended here as a literary genre substantially linked with a generally obligatory form of transcendence, i.e. with the faith in a natural Order (be it God, Universe, Truth, Tradition, Custom or a superindividual Principle of History). The Czech drama of the 20th century (especially of its second half) has provided examples of ways and devices employed by the playwrights trying to find support in an order of this kind.

Lupiňská, Dana ; Kozmanová, Irena (advisor) ; Soběhart, Radek (referee)
The Thesis analyzes the Constitutional Decree No. 33/1945 Coll., about modification of Czechoslovak citizenship of persons of German and Hungarian nationality as the basis of economic discrimination of German minority after World War II. The first chapter analyzes the process of decree in exil in London, regulation problems in Košice government program, the context of Potsdam Conference and the role of president Beneš. It concludes that, due to the unusual nature of legal procedure, the Czechoslovak officials were under significant legitimition pressure, and to legitimize the deprivation of citizenship they primarily used need to get rid of the German and Hungarian minorities, who by their behavior contributed to the disruption of the republic and argument of national state. The second part analyzes the process of deprivation of citizenship on the basis of the decree and it concludes, that there were labour economic discrimination, especially in work obligation, intrduction of job cards and canceling employment. Thesis states, inter alia, that during the implementation of regulation, there were a number of exceptions and it is not always possible to watch one hundred precent consistency between legislation and practice.

Music Club Brno
Pappová, Martina ; Fišer, Jiří (referee) ; Odvárka, Antonín (advisor) ; Matějka, Libor (advisor)
The bachelor thesis expands the architectural project created in the framework of the subject AG35 in the spring semester on a level of a Building permit documentation and a Documentation for execution of the project. The theme of the task is a new building of a concert hall with the defined land on the Údolní street in Brno, in front of the park Obilní trh. Surrounding historical buildings from the 19th century strictly follows the street line. But that line was broken at the defined land by the impact of a bomb in World War II. On a neighbouring plot, the created space was filled by a building of regional ombudsman, which doesn’t follow the street line anymore. So its continuing isn’t required on the defined land neither. Sloping terrain influenced whole concept, which consist in implanting the building into terrain, so that followed surrounding terrain and connect park Obilní trh with park Špilberk through walk-on roof surface with vegetation and a newly build park in front of the concert hall. The building is divided into two parts from exterior. The first one is a polygon and it is mostly under terrain. A small surface of façade above a terrain is largely created by glass curtain wall supplemented by white stucco. Here is located a main entrance and a foyer, a main concert hall, a café, rehearsal rooms, an exercise studio, an atelier, changing rooms and technical facilities of whole building. While the second rectangular part, in which is situated small concert hall on the second floor, is as if levitating block overlapping over a volume of the first floor and it is garnished by structural panels from glass fiber reinforced concrete. The cladding goes to the ground in the southeast corner of the block and there are panels with inscription “hudební klub” or specific name of the concert hall instead of the structural panels.

Postconflict Reconstruction in the case of Bosnia and Herzegovina: the role of particular actors
Holíková, Alena ; Dubský, Zbyněk (advisor) ; Sršeň, Radim (referee)
The civil war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which took place between 1992 and 1995, is perceived as the most tragic conflict in Europe since the Second World War. The process of postconflict reconstruction has been running there for 17 years and there have been numerous actors involved. But still, the process has not been finished. The diploma thesis deals with the question of the role played by particular involved actors in the process of postconflict reconstruction. In the first part of the thesis the theoretical framework of postconflict reconstruction is presented. In the second part the contemporary situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Dayton Peace Agreement are outlined. The third part fully focuses on the analysis of particular groups of actors. Three groups of actors are analysed: the international community, the local ruling elite and the international and local nongovernmental organisations. The aim of this work is to identify the objects of those actors in the process of postconflict reconstruction and consequently to evaluate their opportunities to achieve those goals. The SWOT analysis is applied to analyze the role of the actors.

External and fiscal sustainability of the Czech economy: a quick look through the IMF's night-vision goggles
Bulíř, Aleš
The paper presents the rationale for spreadsheet-based debt sustainability assessments. Policymakers can use these exercises in two ways. First, assessments of possible debt developments provide “reality checks” of macroeconomic projections. Second, the financial stability exercise may indicate vulnerability to crises. Empirically, using the IMF debt sustainability template, the paper finds that the external position of the Czech Republic appears sustainable under most plausible history-based scenarios.

The history of uranium mining with particular emphasis on the 21st century
FUKA, Stanislav
Uranium is a chemical element with the brand U discovered in 1789 by German chemist Martin Heinrich Klaproth. Initially it was not particularly interesting for mankind, it was used mainly for colouring the glass. A major turning point came after the Second World War, when uranus began to be used for nuclear weapons and later for nuclear industry. At that time Czechoslovakia was the great world power in the production of uranium. The aim of my bachelor´s work is a description of the uranium research characteristics and development of uranium mining in the 20st and the 21st century in the Czech Republic and in the world. An intergovernmental contract between Czechoslovakia and the Soviet Union about an uranium supply was signed in 1945. Jáchymov was the key place for the Soviet Union, there was only a research carried out in other places of Czechoslovakia. There were exported 98 500 tons of the separated uranium ore and the concentrate to the USSR. The uranium industry employed 40 000 people in the fifties of the last century and it should be mentioned that a considerable part consisted of inmates and prisoners. At the turn of the fifties and sixties, the supply for military purposes is filled up and the uranium begins to be used mainly for nuclear energy. The mining is reduced after 1989 mainly due to an overproduction of uranium. The uranium mines are gradually closed and the places of extraction and chemical finishing departments of the ore are recultivated. The only mine, which is still in operation, is in Dolní Rožínka in the Bohemian-moravian highlands. A significant problem nowadays after the extraction seems to be the location of Stráž pod Ralskem, where the uranium is mined by the method of chemical infusion (In Situ Leach), and the chemical finishing department of the ore, mainly a MAPE Mydlovary. The price of remedial work estimated at 40 billion Czech crowns in Stráž pod Ralskem and will last approximately for the next 20 years. Redevelopment in the 5 MAPE Mydlovary is estimated in the tens of billions of Czech crowns and it will take about another ten years. Bachelor´s thesis is divided into two parts. In the theoretical part, there are described the sources and methods of uranium mining, the concepts of radioactivity, uranit. After that there is described the current state of environmental burdens in the MAPE Mydlovary in Českobudějovicko. In the practical part I deal with the issue of the impact of uranium mining on man and the environment, the development in uranium mining in developing countries and the perspective of the extraction and a comparison of the uranium reserves in the Czech Republic and in the world. A section of the practical part follows up the development of the price of uranium in world market.
