Figures in Elena Garros work recollection of Things to Come
Novotná Ouřadová, Dagmar ; Housková, Anna (advisor) ; Fousek, Michal (referee)
Téma postava jejich vztahu k ostatním stavebním prvkům románu jsem si vybrala z několika důvodů. Podle mého názoru vděčí dílo Eleny Garro za svoji nadčasovost z velké části právě postavám. Spojením klasického hrdiny s postavou moderního románu vytváří postavy, které přesahují hranice jednoho díla a jedné epochy. Po hrdinech dávných bájí zdědily mytickou nesmrtelnost, z druhé linie se jim dostalo křehké poetiky moderní literární postavy. Toto spojení z nich dělá univerzální literární postavy, které díky svému bytostně lidskému rozměru dokáží oslovovat i naši současnost. Elena Garro stojí jako spisovatelka i jako žena na prahu nové doby. Ve svém díle podává svědectví o začátku nové epochy. Mexická společnost konce 20. let, do kterých je román zasazen, otevírá otázku vlastní identity a po letech cizí nadvlády hledá svoji vlastní cestu. Na pozadí magického příběhu hlavních hrdinek se odehrává drama společnosti, která stojí před svým přerodem. Elena Garro kritizuje šedé maloměšťáctví, sobectví a zaslepenost, které v jejich důsledku přirovnává k neomalenosti velkých historických gest. Mexiko prochází deziluzí z revolučních bojů a touŽÍ po zavedení pořádku. Starý systém přestává platit a nový ještě nenabyl jasných obrysů. Cítíme nostalgii po dobách minulých, ze které je však zřejmé, že již není cesty zpátky. V...

Analysis and design of intranet structure
Novák, Miroslav ; Pour, Jan (advisor) ; Šedivá, Zuzana (referee)
Nowadays, Intranet is an inseparable part of every company, notwithstanding of their size or field of activity. Both, in my work and personal life, I often come across different intranets that usually do not get a positive response. But they usually have the same source of the problem, which is based on their wrong structure. This is why is chose this topic for my thesis. The goal of my thesis is to perform an analysis of an existing intranet of a particular company and subsequently create a design of the intranet new structure using the card-sorting method. This thesis primarily represents a generalized method of how to proceed during such realization and which areas to look into. Theoretical part of this thesis covers the topics of information architecture and also the term intranet itself, where the most frequent issues I came across in the intranets are pointed out. Practical part covers the analysis itself, where I focus on the structure of the existing intranet, categorization of its content, connections with other systems, customization, permission management, surveys of contentment, and intranet usage. The analysis is performed manually by scanning through the existing intranet of the company, since other methods or approaches could not be applied due to technical limitations or insufficient permis-sions. Based on the outputs of the analysis, web categorizations and the card-sorting method, a design of a structure of the new intranet has been proposed. The design itself is a demonstration of the method how to approach the new intranet design.

Modern Methods in Marketing
Jandová, Pavlína ; Hesková, Marie (advisor) ; Tomek, Ivan (referee)
Traditional marketing methods are losing their effectiveness and credibility. It has been worse and worse to communicate with customers, and marketers are therefore looking for new techniques and way how to appeal buyers. They turn to the use of modern marketing methods, which typical features are possibility of accurate targeting and low costs, and, also, the fact that they are still not considered being a classic promotion. In the theoretical part of the diploma thesis the alternative marketing forms are described; word-of-mouth, product placement, guerilla marketing, mobile marketing, event marketing and social marketing. Their main features, forms, pros and cons are analyzed, and a practical example is included. The analytic part of the work is dedicated to a company of Budějovický Budvar, n. p. and a launch of a new product Pardál to the Czech beer market at the beginning of 2007. This very important step in the history of the Budějovický Budvar brewery was preceded by a detailed company strategic marketing analysis. This resulted in a decision of an unusual and original new product development and brand launch based on event and buzz marketing principles. The opportunity to influence the final attributes of the new product was given to the very customers -- beer drinkers. They participated in a project called "My New Beer" where the final taste and name of the beer was determined, and they also cooperated at a launch communication campaign of the Pardál brand in the Czech Republic. Significant sales and marketing results were achieved, and the unoriginal product development process and its marketing have been discussed by marketing specialists and professional media since. The brand has entrenched in the Czech beer market and has strengthened its position.

Czech Migration and Integration Policies in the Persective of Mongolian Migration
Jelínková, Marie ; Čabanová, Bohumila (advisor) ; Drbohlav, Dušan (referee) ; Muhič Dizdarevič, Selma (referee)
In the period between the years 2006 and 2008, a significant increase in the migration of Mongolians to the Czech Republic could be seen. The Mongolians came to the Czech Republic mainly through formal and informal intermediary agencies and most of them worked as unskilled labor. With a few exceptions, they originally arrived to the CR with work and residence permits, yet a large part of them lost their permits during their first two years of stay. Even those who managed to live and work in the CR legally faced frequent violations of their rights. The research on Mongolian migration presented in this doctoral thesis was carried out as a case study. By looking at this specific problem area, fundamental problems posed for Mongolian migrants by the set-up of the Czech migration and integration policies could be analyzed. This work does not address these policies only and the ways they are set up, but also the manner of implementation and the specific impact of these policies on the life of the monitored migrants. It shows that major problems in the way migration policy is set up and regulated are encountered already by the visa applicants still in Mongolia. The results of the research also show that Czech migration policies put a large part of the Mongolian respondents into positions of dependency on their...

Work and the meaning of life
Korbelová, Pavla ; Rymeš, Milan (referee) ; Riegel, Karel (advisor)
The thesis on the topic work and the meaning of life is focused on two important areas of psychology, one of which belongs to general psychology and the other one to work and organizational psychology. Although both areas might seem to be very different, this thesis shows their mutual relationship and deals with ways they can influence each other. Work can be a significant source of meaning in life thanks to the fact that it provides the possibility to satisfy not only the lowest but also the highest human needs in the current world. Except of the above mentioned relation between work and the meaning of life the thesis points out many aspects that these two areas, the meaning of life and work, have in common. It also highlights the similarity of consequences caused by their absence. The theoretical part includes three chapters. The first one deals with the meaning of life, its significance for individual's life and its separate aspects. The switch to the issue of work is made in the sub-section about work as a possible source of meaning in life. The second chapter refers to components of the relationship of personality and work and connects them to the meaning of life and the meaning of work itself. The third chapter is focused on meaningfulness of work and items that influence meaningful work. Results of...
