Garden in Children's Literature - its presentation, role and symbolism in The Secret Garden and Tom's Midnight Garden
Jílková, Klára ; Chalupský, Petr (advisor) ; Farrell, Mark Robert (referee)
In my diploma thesis, I deal with the topic of the garden as it is presented in Frances Hodgson Burnett's The Secret Garden and Ann Philippa Pearce's Tom's Midnight Garden. In the beginning, I discuss the reasons for the attractivity of this topic among children's authors in general, and introduce Burnett and Pearce. In the following chapters I focus mainly on the role of the gardens in the characters' lives, showing the positive effect they have on the characters, helping them to gradually change for the better. I concern myself with several themes, including the way and the circumstances in which the two gardens are discovered, the setting of the stories, and the magical aspects of both gardens. I also deal with the differences in the perception of time and with the interconnectivity of time levels in the stories. At the end of this thesis there is a chapter devoted to the way both authors present their gardens and on the means they use for their descriptions.

Responding to the Holocaust: the survivor's complex in reality and fiction
Míčková, Klára ; Frankl, Michal (referee) ; Ulmanová, Hana (advisor)
The survivor's complex is indeed a complicated matter which in itself might be discussed in greater detail than suggested here. Defining it mainly on psychological and psychiatric grounds is best suitable for the attempted literary analysis of the characters' inner souls and mental burdens. However, it could also be approached from social or cultural views which for the sake of the main theme of my thesis, which is to apply conclusions regarding authentic survivors and their real post-Holocaust lives to the characters created by the imaginative minds of fiction writers, I omit. Likewise, Cynthia Ozick's Rosa and Saul Bellow's Mr. Sammler's Planet can be treated purely as works of literary imagination without taking the survivor's complex into account and discussed in terms of their narrations or themes only. Nevertheless, without studying the survivor's complex, an important part of the works', or better characters' analyses would be neglected. I am not suggesting that all fiction about the Holocaust incorporates and displays the survivor's complex, but the complex still remains a part of most (both authentic and fictional) survivors' post-Holocaust lives and should therefore be given enough space in the analyses of works which deal with the theme of the Holocaust. The aim of the first part of this work was...

Symbolism in Ibn Sina's Work: Interpretation of Initiation Stories
Vitásková, Magdaléna ; Kropáček, Luboš (advisor) ; Ostřanský, Bronislav (referee) ; Pirický, Gabriel (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to interpretate the stories The Living, son of the Vigilant, The Bird and Salaman and Absal, written by one of the greatest scholars of medieval Islamic East, Ibn Sina (980-1037). Unlike his philosophical and medical writings these stories have a different character and create a coherent narrative cycle. Based on their themes, narrative methods and symbolism they should be in my opinion called initiation stories. The main aim of this dissertation is thus to verify this hypothesis by means of the hermeneutic interpretation. These stories, read as a coherent cycle, show typical features of initiation genre: the hero can't find his way, his existential condition makes him desperate, he is consumed by strong desire for reaching a higher ontological degree, meets an initiator, goes through initiation rites of passage, crosses the border between the uninitiated and initiated space, reaches the final initiation through symbolic death. The interpretation of each of Ibn Sina's three writings reveals an inner coherence of the stories: The Living, son of the Vigilant focuses on the motive of an initiator-guide and the description of the stages on the initiation way leading upwards, The Bird tells in an emotional way about the state preceding the initiation and then concentrates on...

A NEW DAWN OF NAMING, ADDRESSING AND ROUTING ON THE INTERNET
Veselý, Vladimír ; Muntan,, Jordi Perelló (referee) ; Grasa, Eduard (referee) ; Day, John (referee) ; Švéda, Miroslav (advisor)
Internet roku 2015 se potýká s problémy, které jsou důsledky špatného designu pojmenovávání a adresování v TCP/IP a jež mají přeneseny vliv i na škálovatelnost směrování. Problémy jako růst páteřních směrovacích tabulek, neefektivní multihoming sítí či mobilita zařízení a mnohé další zadávají k otázce, jestli není třeba architekturu Internetu pozměnit. V teoretické části je kvantifikován dopad problémů, možná řešení a zejména je formálně definována teorie kompilujicí poznatky významných publikací zabývajících se problematikou pojmenování, adresování a směrování v počítačových sítí. Tato práce se zabývá dvěma konkrétními technologiemi, jež mají ambicí Internet měnit - Locator/Id Separation Protocol a Recursive InterNetwork Architecture. Výstupem práce jsou vylepšení funkcionality obou výše zmíněných technologií. Za účelem praktického ověření dopadů našeho výzkumu jsou vyvinutý a popsány nové simulační modely pro OMNeT++, které jsou věrné úrovni detailu popisu ze specifikací.

Porovnanie kvality ekologickej a konvenčnej produkcie vybraných zeleninových druhov
Jurica, Miloš
In the vintages 2007 (autumn culture) and 2008 (spring and autumn culture), there were grown broccoli varieties ''Belstar F1'' , ''Lucky F1'' and Japanese type of radish, variety ''Jarola F1'', on the certified organic land in Prague - Troja , and simultaneously on the neighbouring conventional plot to evaluate their quality. The experiment was set up with two densities of vegetation , broccoli: 0.6 x 0.5 m, 0.5 x 0.5 m and radish: 0.20 x 0.35 m, 0.30 x 0.35 m. The market production was evaluated for subsequent nutritional values : dry matter , fiber , total carbohydrates, vitamin C, total carotenoids and chlorophyll, minerals (potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium), total antioxidant capacity ,further also nitrates, electrochemical value (electrical conductivity, pH, redox potential) is expressed as a P value and a sensorial value using the descriptors recommended in the publication (Kopec, Horčín, 1997) . The evaluation of organic and conventional production of broccoli and radish showed that the ecological system of cultivation inconclusively increased the content of carotenoids and minerals in broccoli and vitamin C, carotenoids and sodium in radish. In other nutritional characters, the difference was negligible. Statistically significant effect of the most characters was evaluated also for the season of cultivation and occasionally the density of vegetation. Sensory evaluation of broccoli was in the spring term in favor of conventional production and in the autumn of 2008 in favor of organic production . The radish grown in autumn 2007 did not show any significant difference, the autumn term of growing in 2008 was in favor of organic production.
