Praha, květen 2011 vedoucí práce: Clare Wallace, Ph.D. 2 Thesis abstract This thesis focuses on the period of Irish history from 1916 to 1923, i.e. the period commencing with the Easter Rising and concluding with the end of the Irish Civil War, as it was captured in three feature historical films shot in the last two decades: Jonathan Lewis' The Treaty (1992), Neil Jordan's Michael Collins (1996) and Ken Loach's The Wind That Shakes the Barley (2006).

Možnosti hydrogeologického výzkumu krasu v oblasti Loferer Schacht v pohoří Loferer Steinberge v Rakousku
Žák, Karel
The main purpose of this report is to make a feasibility study for a karst hydrogeological project in the Loferer Schacht cave and adjacent area, Loferer Steinberge, Austria. From a hydrogeological point of view, the known part of this cave system (vertical cave extent +9.8/-796.7 m, mapped length 7,800 m) occurs within the unsaturated (vadose) zone. Based on a pilot field survey, evaluation of the geological structure, and a preliminary study of groundwater residence time using oxygen stable isotopes it can be concluded that the area is not suitable for a detailed project. The most principal obstacles for such a study are: i. the character of the dis-charge sites located in talus accumulation, which do not allow precise measurement of the discharge; ii. the long storage of precipitation in the recharge area as perennial snowfields and ice plugs in swallow holes; and iii. the problematic use of artificial water tracers because the springs are used as drinking water.

Application of soil designes values according to ULSD of EC 7-1 in Czech conditions
Koudelka, Petr
Some contemporary European codes (e.g., EC 1, EC 7-1) and standards (e.g., ČSN 73 0031) have taken into account in their theoretical bases a special granular character of soils and rocks with a different extent. The EUROCODES, i.e. EUROCODE 1 (EN 1991-1) "Basis of design and actions on structures - Part 1: Basis of design" and EUROCODE 7-1 (EN 1997-1) "Geotechnical design - Part 1: General rules" consider underground environment/mass in the same way as the other structures (e.g. steel, concrete, masonry, timber) without any theoretical exception for analyses of three-phase granular material structures. Thus, using theory of the Ultimate Limit State Design (ULSD), a statistical definition of characteristic values and several partial factors have been considered along with material partial factors for material design values of the soil mass properties.

Literary portrayal of the mother character in selected novels by Elfriede Jelinek
Povejšilová, Klára ; Tvrdík, Milan (advisor) ; Zbytovský, Štěpán (referee)
In the beginning of my thesis there is an overview of the mother and woman role from the Middle Age till the present. In the first chapter I introduce four mothers from two novels by Elfriede Jelinek. I'm trying to display the way they are portrayed in a political system and a concrete period. The Next chapter explains the terms "sex" and "gender". Elfriede Jelinek shows the feminine and masculine principles as stereotypical. Disequilibrium between these two principles concludes to the lability of an individuum and the society. The author reduces females to their bodies. The body is being considered a product of a capitalist market. In the fascist-regime the body is an object which is aimed for liquidation. The dirtiness-motive appears as a metaphor for the way of thinking of petty bourgeois, for the complicity and guilt for Nazi crimes and also as a metaphor for feminine physiological procedures. The next chapter is dedicated to the mother and father-children-relation. The children deprecate their parents but at the same time they repeat their behavior. The border-motive is typical for both chosen novels. The children try to cross the social and also the geographical border (Anna's studies in the USA, Erika's world wide popularity). The last chapter treats Jelinek's linguistic method. I mentioned...

Vexation at highschools in Kroměříž county
VITOŠOVÁ, Andrea
ABSTRACT In today´s world chicane becomes more pronounced term and is considered to be the most significant negative aspect of current school system. In addition unlike chicane in the past today is displays more alarming features. That includes in particular increasing number of chicane occurrence in schools, lower age of offenders and increased aggressivity and brutality of such behaviour. Chicane is a complex and cross-society problem. And it is defined as any behaviour with the intention to harm somebody repeatedly, threaten or intimidate other student or group of students. This intentional violence is focused on individuals or groups of students who don{\crq}t know how or cant defend themselves for whatever reason. It includes physical attacks in form of beating, extortion, robberies, damaging of property of others as well as verbal attacks in form of invectives, aspersions, assault or humiliation. It may also have the form of sexual harassment or even sexual abuse. Chicane occurs also indirectly as notable neglecting or ignoring of a student or students by the teacher or other group of students. Danger of chicane is based mainly on its severity, long term effect and related consequences for mental and physical health. These are the reasons why chicane must not be neglected and underestimated. The purpose of this diploma work is to map occurrence and severity of chicane in secondary vocational schools in Kroměříž district. In my opinion this objective has been achieved. The research objective was to prove or disprove the following hypothesis: H1: Chicane occurs in secondary vocational schools in Kroměříž district. H2: Most of chicane cases are not of severe character in secondary vocational schools in Kroměříž district. H3: Most of chicane offenders also display discipline problems. H4: Boys are more often chicane offenders than girls. The H1 hypothesis has been proved. 66 % of students in secondary vocational schools in Kroměříž ever experienced chicane and 21 % of students experience chicane in their current school. The H2 hypothesis has been proved. Chicane is not of severe character. The most common form of chicane is verbal attacks, humiliation and aspersions. The H3 hypothesis has been disproved. The research did not prove that chicane offenders also display discipline problems. The H4 hypothesis has been proved. The result of the research conclude that boys are more often chicane offenders, in 60% of cases. In addition the research pointed out the problem of chicane reporting and solving. Chicane often remains unreported or is reported but not addressed. As concerns the chicane abatement issue in secondary schools, also 8 % of students is of the opinion that their school effectively addresses chicane and less than 61 % of student does not even know if their schools are addressing this problem at all. Therefore I would recommend to schools to pay more attention to communication with students about this socially pathological problem and take preventive measures.

Cinematographers of czech documentary film
Šuster, Jan ; Jícha, Marek (advisor) ; Ulver, Stanislav (referee)
In my dissertation I focus on the professional, as well as on the personal, points of view of various documentary cinematographers and on the complexity of the image conveyed in the works of audiovisual documentaries.
Through the eyes of four generations of directors of photography, I seek to compose a holistic view of the Czech cinematography.
In the introduction the history of Czech documentary films is briefly outlined. The following chapter is composed of personal interviews with the four cinematographers. These professionals were chosen according to their experience with documentary films and their contribution to the Czech cinematography in general. Each one of these four professionals has a notable character which has, among their distinguished camera work, left an enduring mark on the quality of cinematographic image.
The questions directed to them are the same, thus aiming to point out a multi-generation view on the issue of camera work in Czech documentary films, as well as on the characters of the cinematographers themselves.
To conclude my dissertation I compare and contrast various attitudes toward the camera work in documentary films. By introducing my personal opinion and confronting with the ideas presented by these four generations of professionals, I aim to express the point of views of the new, fifth, generation of cinematographers.

Mediální masáž, aneb, Jsou opravdu defenzivní akcie tak výhodné v dobách krize?
Vataha, Jiří
The goal of this paper is to refute the fact that it is profitable, in times of economic crisis, or recession, to invest in defensive stocks of anticyclical industries. To refute this fact, I chose the defensive stock of the anticyclical service sector entertainment industry - Walt Disney Co. I will compare the development of these stocks with the developments in the capital market during the economic crisis of 2008/2009. With the aid of correlation and graphical comparisons of the stocks with the Dow Jones U.S. Broadcasting and Entertainment Index and Dow Jones Industrial Average Index, I have concluded that the above statement is incorrect. Shares in times of crisis behave with as much volatility as the market itself and correlates strongly with it.
