Stehlík, Martin ; Janderková, Jana (referee) ; Šefrna, Luděk (advisor)
Práce se zabývá změnami vybraných půdních znaků a vlastností na plochách bývalé orné půdy přeměněné v lesní plochy ve středočeském Plutonu v dolním povodí řeky Sázavy. Jsou zkoumány časová období 8, 15, 25 - 35, 50 - 55, 100, 160 a 235 let od ukončení zemědělské činnosti. V práci jsou dále hodnoceny dostupné zdroje pro sledování změn v krajině a analyzovány jejich přínosy. Výsledky vykazují pokles hodnot pH ve všech studovaných hloubkách půdního profilu a růst mocnosti humusového lesního horizontu. Podíl půdní organické hmoty (SOM) postupně narůstá v čase v hloubce 3 - 5cm oproti ostatním hloubkám. Znaky dřívější zemědělské činnosti jsou znatelné až 100 let po jejich ukončení. Klíčová slova: Land use, historická geografie, zalesňování na orné půdě, pH, půdní organická hmota (SOM), barva, středočeský Pluton, dolní povodí Sázavy Abstract The thesis concerns with changes of soil features and characteristics on the areas of former arable land transformed to the forest area. The research took place in the region of central-Bohemian pluton in lower basin of the Sázava river.

VII Photo agency
Horký, Petr ; Lábová, Alena (advisor) ; Chuchma, Josef (referee)
This Bachelor's thesis explores the origin and structure of an independent photo agency VII. It derives its name from the number of photojournalists, who founded the agency in September 2001. The VII photo agency is collectively owned by its members, world renowned photojournalists. Alexandra Boulat, Ron Haviv, Gary Knight, Antonin Krutochvil , Christopher Morris, James Nachtwey and John Stanmeyer were joined in 2002 by Lauren Greenfield and in 2004 by Joachim Ladefoged. Eugene Richards joined in April 2006. Together they document conflict in the broadest sense of the word: political, social and cultural, both violent and non-violent. The idea of the VII photo agency is based on a tradition of other independent picture agencies such as Magnum Photos, whose members work on long-term "picture stories" instead of covering "spot news", as wire services do. This tradition of so-called "picture story", "photo essay" or "photographic reportage" was founded in Germany between the world wars and was then brought to the USA, where it was further developed within the Life magazine. As the market has been dramatically changing with the expansion of the Internet in the last decade, big stock agencies such as Corbis and Getty Images have been buying out all available archives. This quantity allowed them to lower the...

Three ways of expressing future time in modern British fiction and non-fiction (will/shall + infinitive, to be going to + infinitive, present prograsive)
Mikuláš, Martin ; Jančovičová, Ivana (advisor) ; Pípalová, Renata (referee)
This diploma thesis analyses three selected ways of expressing futurity in modern English: will/shall + infinitive; the to be going to construction; and the present progressive tense. The expression of futurity is explored in fiction and non-fiction separately. However, this thesis concentrates only on written English. In Part One, several approaches to the phenomenon of futurity are introduced. In Part Two, the selected expressions of futurity are presented and analysed as to their meaning, distribution, syntactic and Contextual factors. Attention is paid to the proportion of occurrence of these expressions, their meanings, and how these are affected by context (situation, subject, negation, voice) and style. Analysis is made separately for fiction and non-fiction corpus; their comparison is included in the last chapter. The frequency of the occurrence of future expressions and their meanings in the two registers are summarised in tables at the end of the work and in graphs included in the text.

The Magdeburg Law is a phenomenon transgressing borders of contemporary as well as medieval states in Centra!- and Eastern Europe, which is the reason to study it in the context of wider regions. Presented study incorporates three themes. The first chapter is dedicated to the analysis of the initial situation that existed in the thirteenth century in one of the most important cities of northwest Bohemia Litoměřice, the later head of a great family of cities of German town law. The starting point for an attempt to explore the Litoměřice law in the 13th century is a not preserved compilation of various legal regulations sent directly from Magdeburg to Litoměřice in 1282.
