Zhodnocení výkonnosti koní ve vytrvalostních soutěžích na Slovensku
Hanicová, Zuzana
The present Master's thesis aims to evaluate the performance of horses in endurance competitions in Slovak Republic. The database used for consequent statistical analysis was developed by manual insertion of data from the 2008 -- 2012 years range. Control factors evaluated included ranking in competitions, the overall time spent to master the tracks, and the average speed of individual horses in endurance races. Examination based on the GLM statistical method proved a significant correlation between geographical location of the race and the rank achieved by individual competitors. Using the same method, it was found there is no statistical correlation between country of origin, gender, colour, breed, age, length of the track, year of the race nor year of birth of the horse; and rank in the race. Following multiple comparisons of results according to Scheffe's method and Tukey-B statistical test confirms there were neither highly significant differences nor significant differences observed in between individual control factors. Based on GLM statistical method, it was found that geographical location of the race, breed of the horse and length of the track do have a statistically high significant impact on overall time spent to master the track by the competitor. In contrast, it was found the country of origin, gender, colour, age, year of the race and year of birth of the horse do not have a statistically verifiable impact on the overall time spent to master the track. Examined under Scheffe's method, sample group consisting of Poland, Germany and Russia was found to be statistically significantly the worst out of all countries tested, with the highest average overall time spent to master the track. Conversely, Slovak Republic proved to have statistically significantly better results than Czech Republic, Hungary and the previously mentioned sample group consisting of Poland, Germany and Russia. Horses of Slovak Republic statistically achieved the best, therefore the shortest average overall time spent to master the track. Austria proved to have statistically significantly better results than Hungary and the sample group of countries mentioned above. Czech Republic proved to have statistically significantly better results than Hungary and sample group consisting of Poland, Germany and Russia. Based on GLM statistical method, it was found that country of origin, geographical location of the race, breed of the horse and length of the track do have a statistically high significant impact on average speed of the horse on track. In contrast, it was found that gender, colour, age, year of the race and year of birth of horses do not have a statistically verifiable impact on the average speed of the horse on track. Based on multiple comparisons of results according to Scheffe's method, the author observes significant differences in performance of horses originating from different countries. The sample group consisting of Poland, Germany and Russia proved to be statistically significantly the best, which means that horses originating from here achieved the highest average speed in races. The Slovak Republic proved to be statistically significantly worse than the Czech Republic, where Slovak horses performed worse in terms of the average speed than Czech horses.

Hindutva and the women's question
Bulvasová, Klára ; Marková, Dagmar (referee) ; Vavroušková, Stanislava (advisor)
In my thesis I have focused on Hindu women adhering to the principles of Hindu nationalist ideology which stems from the notion of Hindutva as described by V. D. Savarkar who has put forward some gender sterotypes of Hindu men and women depicted as substantially different from Muslim men and women. These assumptions were later further developed by the so called sangh parivar. I have suggested that Hindu nationalism has in the late eighties and early nineties succeeded in mobilising Hindu women for the cause of the Hindu Right and brought them into its fold on an unprecedented scale. The mobilisation was successful due largely to the Ramjanmbhumi Movement which was then at its height. Right-wing Hindu women participated in the movement, and communal riots which formed an integral part of it, either as political leaders or perpetrators of communal violence assaulting, among others, Muslim women. This thesis also presents a brief overview of some women's wings of the sangh parivar and their ideology which in certain aspects differs from that of their male counterparts. It also considers the question of female emancipation within these wings and draws a comparison between them and the feminist movement.

The aim of the present thesis is to cover the issue of deafness from historical perspective, analyze the mutual relationship between hearing and deaf society and to bring to explanation the sociocultural specifics of the deaf in the Czech republic. The thesis views the issue of the deaf from the point of holistic cross-field perspective which takes account of findings from sociology, cultural anthropology, linguistics, psychology and pedagogy. The first chapter deals with hearing impairment from the medical point of view; we take a brief account on the etiology of hearing impairment and consider the effects of hearing loss on the ontogeny of the individual. In the second chapter we center on the issue of deafness as a subject of pedagogy, linguistics and sociology and their complementary themes: deaf education, sign language and socialization and enculturation of the deaf; the fourth part of the chapter synthesizes the findings of the fields mentioned into three hypothetical models of deafness - medical, social-integrating and cultural - and brings them into comparison. The third chapter concerns about social attitudes toward deafness in the course of history, we consider the philosophical roots of particular concepts of deafness and draw attention to the milestones in deaf history.
