Passive and mediopassive in contemporary Spanish
Prantnerová, Lenka ; Čermák, Petr (referee) ; Zavadil, Bohumil (advisor)
The present study deals with passive and mediopassive constructions in the modern Spanish language. The subjective perspective of Spanish is compared with other languages and the evolution of passive construction is explained. In the theoretical part there are two types of the passive defined and compared from the syntactical and functional points of view. The form and meaning of medium and mediopassive construction are also delimitated. Theoretical consclusions are verified in a special corpus of almost 2000 sentences taken from modern Spanish language. The analysis is dedicated to three main issues. The first part is dedicated to the frequency of appearance of passive constructions, the second part deals with morfological and syntactical analyses of the main parts of sentence and the third part studies the function of this type of constructions. There is also a separate analysis of the frequency of appearance of medium and mediopassive constructions and also of the principal features of their main parts of sentence.

Use of computers in German classes
Skalická, Jana ; Rössler, Paul (referee) ; Berglová, Eva (advisor)
The aim of this diploma thesis "Use of computers in German classes" is to present various ways of engaging computers in teaching German. The trend towards information society has made computers an essential part of our lives. In this regard all language teachers should consider finding new and effective ways of engaging computers in their classes and exploring new areas in which computers might become helpful. Czech educational system as well as educational system of other countries is governed by specific laws. As Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (hereafter referred to as "SERR") had significant role in the proposal of the new Education Act in relation to teaching foreign languages, the first chapter addresses the description and main ideas of this framework. The real implementation of SERR into the Czech educational system is described in chapter called "Framework educational programs". The second chapter deals with a theoretical description of four skills essential for teaching foreign languages, the basis for defining possible options to use computers in German classes.

Child labour in the EU
ŠÍSLOVÁ, Lenka
I choose the subject of child labour because this issue is of personal interest to me. During my social work studies at the Health and Social Faculty of the South Bohemian University in České Budějovice, I acquired additional information and became more familiar with the issue of child labour. I wished to become acquainted with this issue in detail and expand my current experience by theoretical knowledge. During discussions of the issue of child labour the opinion that children should work because work is beneficial is often heard. Yes ? working is beneficial for children ? if this work corresponds to the child?s age, if it expands the child?s horizons and skills and if it does not prevent the child from going to school, playing and experiencing a carefree childhood, as this is guaranteed by the Convention of the Rights of a Child, which was signed by nearly 200 countries worldwide, regardless of religion, culture or their development. The issue of child labour is frequently linked to less-developed countries. The possibility that child labour could exist in European Union states is heard less frequently. In many cases child labour in Europe is less visible than in other parts of the world. The current trend in international society, including European Union states, is elimination of child labour. The goal of my bachelor?s thesis was to establish the current situation regarding this issue in European Union states. The theoretical part of my work focuses on areas, which directly concern child labour. In the introduction I map information about what child labour includes, what worst forms of child labour we are aware of. With regard to the fact that my work focuses on the European Union I also give basic specifications about the European Union. I also mention key human rights, their sources and the possibility of international protection of children against child labour. I describe international treaties and conventions, which are devoted to the sphere of child labour, specifically the Convention of the Rights of a Child, the Declaration of the Rights of a Child, the International Convention for Prohibition and Immediate measures for Removal of the Worst Forms of Child Labour and the Minimum Age of Employment Convention. In the next part of my work I obtained and describe the legal regulations applying to child labour in selected European Union states ? I examined the laws of the Czech Republic, Finland and Germany. It is clear that even though the laws of individual countries are anchored in various laws, these laws are very similar in regard to the scope and form of employment of children and minors, with only minor differences. I chose theoretical preparation of the final work, I endeavoured to investigate the issue of child labour on a general level, perform a comparison of published sources and a comparison from the aspect of cultural and national differences. I also utilised secondary analysis of official documents from selected EU states and an analysis of the contents of available sources. During my work with foreign language literature I chiefly utilised available Internet sources. Within the scope of the European Union child labour is most frequently mentioned in relation to the worst forms of child labour, which include commercial sexual abuse of children, consequently I discuss this area in detail in my work. I specifically describe trade in children, child prostitution and child pornography, including cases, which actually took place. Fortunately there are not many of these cases and these actions are very heavily punished within the terms of criminal proceedings. In spite of this, news about the existence of these worst forms of child labour does appear from time to time, chiefly provided by the media. The conclusion of the bachelor?s thesis contains a summary of findings, in which my opinion of the aforementioned issue is published. I endeavour to propose possible solutions to this issue in the future.

Implementation and testing of MD5 hash algorithm
Legéň, Michal ; Kacálek, Jan (referee) ; Malý, Jan (advisor)
Hash functions are one of basic structural components of modern cryptography. Their task is to create unique bit order for entry information called message digests. This way the inevitable integrity of information is secured because data transferring via different transfer media may be altered during the transfer. They provide a possibility of fast and effective encryption of passwords because of one-way as well. The aim of this bachelor’s thesis is to analyse one of the most well-known hash functions MD5, to implement it in programming language, to analyse its security risks and to try to use practical exhibitions to the benefit of an attacker. The bachelor’s thesis is presenting theoretical and practical part on Implementation and testing of MD5 hash algorithm. The introduction of the work is devoted to the basics of cryptography, to explanation of the concept of hash function and its basic attributes. The chapter 3 is focussed on the analysis of algorithm MD5 itself. The following part describes its implementation in programming language C++. The last two parts are about problems of security and weak sides of hash algorithm MD5. On the basic of existance of first order collisions, there is in practical demonstration presented creating two different programmes with the same message digest. The final part belongs to description of implementations of attacks on one-way algorithm MD5 and comparisons of their time possibilities during getting original information on the basis of their message digests.

Anglicisms in Italian media with a focus on Anglicisms in Italian vocabulary of printed magazines
Machková, Veronika ; Špaček, Jiří (referee) ; Štichauer, Pavel (advisor)
The diploma thesis of Anglicisms in Italian Media with a Focus on Anglicisms in Italian Vocabulary of Printed Magazines is centred around a key problem: the influence of English language on Italian. The goal of the degree work is to prove via an analysis of fourteen of the most popular Italian printed magazines, which are read by millions of Italians every week, that the influence of English on Italian language is quite negative. The expressions which are used in both spoken language and the printed one are not only technical terms; the majority of the words are common expressions used in everyday life which have Italian equivalents. In my opinion, it is mainly media that is the source of new English words floating into Italian and the journalists who support the people in using them. As I have tried to prove in the various tables which contain all the words used in all the magazines, the phenomenon concerns all kinds of media. Anglicisms are used in magazines designated to young people, who are among the most knowledgeable in English language, as well as in magazines for older people who don't speak English at all. Moreover, there is no difference in the kind of topics: anglicisms are used in articles about business, politics, and economy the same way as in articles about entertainment and show business...
