Sound track
Švarcová, Johana ; BENDOVÁ, Helena (advisor) ; ŠERÝ, Ladislav (referee)
I am interested in the sound track's autonomy within the framework of a film, and in the specific characteristics of a sound track's relation to the missing picture. I am equally interested in sound tracks in movies that are almost devoid of picture: films where the picture retreats and leaves the film space to sound. At present, film is usually understood as an audiovisual medium, with most audiences preferring picture to sound. In other words, in film, the majority views the picture as the foreground and the sound track as the film's background, something that accompanies it. From this perspective, I am interested in what is "hidden" for an average film viewer in the background of the film. In his text The Aesthetics of Failure, Kim Cascone explains the focus on the background in the following words: The basic composition of 'background' is comprised of data we filter out to focus on our immediate surroundings. The data hidden in our perceptual 'blind spot' contains worlds waiting to be explored, if we choose to shift our focus there. A part of my text is an analysis of Walter Ruttmann's film Wochenende, 1930. The text is also partially dedicated to works researching the border of visuality (e.g. Malevich's Black Square).

Mobile mapping via GPS, the data processing and visual processing in the OziExplorer programme.
LORENCOVÁ, Petra
The target of this thesis is data collection via pocket PC and GPS receiver, together with data processing and visualization in the OziExplorer programme. To the partial goals belongs the description of the specific parts of mobile mapping from the data collection to their visual processing in this programme. The mapping was done in the area of the national protected zone of the Boubín forest, located in the Bohemian Forest. Before the mapping, it was necessary to study the theory of the GPS system, pocket computer, OziExplorer programme and their practical usage including the operation of all the basic functions of the OziExplorer programme. The subsequent step was configuration of the measuring devices and preparation of the data for mapping. A very important part of the data preparation was a diligent calibration of scanned maps which was essential for reaching correct consecutive measurements. The data collection was done by a pocket computer ASUS A639 with an integrated GPS antenna, operation system Windows Mobile 5.0 CZ, and a PDA version of the programme OziExplorerCE. The data collected from the field work in the area of the national protected zone of the Boubín forest, where the measured route was the educational path called the Boubín forest, were processed in the PC programme OziExplorer. Some corrections were made and the final route was transformed to the 3D model via the programme OziExplorer3D. The result of the thesis is the description of the constituent stages of the mobile mapping from the preparation and the data collecting to the visual processing in the OziExplorer programme and 3D model of the relief of the Boubín forest.

Interjections in the Czech language system
Kleňhová, Eliška ; Adam, Robert (advisor) ; Bozděchová, Ivana (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to study interjections, their position in the Czech language system and their status and functioning in the written and spoken speech. In the theoretical part the thesis describes, analyses, compares and partially evaluates the concept of interjections in some Czech grammar and dictionary-type manuals. The thesis is focused on the definition and classification of interjections in the case of grammar and also reflects the problematic boundary between interjections and other word classes, especially particles. In the case of dictionaries, the thesis focuses on the grasp and processing of interjections as dictionary entries. The practical part of thesis is devoted to exploring the use of interjections in various types of written texts (professional, non-fictional, journalistic, fictional and written dialogical texts on the Internet) and dialogical spoken speech (excerpts from the Czech national corpus, TV discussions, talk shows and normally spoken language).

The Enter of Concrete Firm at new Foreign Market
BEDNÁŘOVÁ, Marie
Topic of this diploma work was: {\clqq}An entrance of chosen company to the new foreign market``. Principal aim of this work was an evaluation of possibilities and strategies for an entrance on a target market. Partial aim was information processing about a company and target market. Information had to be processed in that way to consider a favoured strategy as the most convenient or if it better to do some strategy modification. Work was drawn up in co-operation with a company Budějovický Budvar, n. p., which is engaged in production of beer. Selected market was China, where this company penetrated at the beginning of the year 2008. The perspective of a target market I surveyed with analysis: Porter{\crq}s model of five powers, STEP analysis and an analysis of attractiveness of a branch. Stability of a company and its opportunity and threats are described by SWOT analysis.

Greek civil war in the Czech press
Javorský, Jan ; Nálevka, Vladimír (advisor) ; Horčička, Václav (referee)
The main goal of this work is the description of possible images of greek civil war, that arose in Czech daily press during January 1946 and October 1949, thus during so-called third round of the civil war, because we can understand it as an incicator of that how was this conflict interpreted, what was knowledge about the conflict of interests of the Great Powers like, and of importance, that was given to this conflict by Czech political stage. The description is elaborated by probe in main nationwide daily journals. Most of the materials was found in collection of Ministry of Foreign Affairs - Cutting archive, which is deposited in National archive. Relevancy of this source was verified by partial probes into individual journals. Chapters, that serves as the introduction into context, were elaborated only on secondary sources. Accomplished description proves, that, before the communists took power in February 1948, there were two images of the conflict (democratic and communistic), which differed from each other in putting accent on different aspects, intensity of writing about he conflict and in used language. After the communists took power in the February 1948, a main change in both images occured and one of them disapeared. It was possible to ordain goals of the communistic image. Goals of democratic...

Josef Karásek (1868-1916) in the context of Czech Slavic Studies and the Czech literary scene in Vienna (On the participation of Vienna in inter-Slavic cultural relations from the founding of the Jagić Seminary to the birth of Czechoslovakia)
Černý, Marcel ; Petrbok, Václav (referee)
This dissertation is divided into two parts. The first part (2. VIENNA AND CZECH LITERATURE) is devoted to the interaction between the city of Vienna and modern Czech culture, primarily literature. The second part (3. VIENNA AND CZECH SLAVIC STUDIES) is oriented toward the problematic of the history of Slavic Studies, the area of Slavic philology which, as a meta-discipline, deals with the self-reflection of its own subject. Specifically, both the initiative of the "Jagić concept" of Slavic philology for Czech Slavic Studies as it was eventually reflected in Karásek's specialized activities and the panoramic outline of the way in which Jagić's work was perceived and absorbed in the Czech surroundings are the subject of consideration. However, this study is not a "classic" monograph in the narrow sense of the word. Josef Karásek, who was a literary historian, editor, translator, and promoter of Slavic literatures in the German-speaking world, was not a central personality in the history of Czech Slavic Studies. Yet on the other hand, considering the rather strong echo of his work in Czech, Viennese and other Slavic research communities, and in spite of the partial research eclecticism of his work, it cannot be said that Karásek was a mere journalist and author of compilations. His extensive estate, which was...

Development, description and evaluation of a basic course for German as foreign language in the education of adult people - levels B1 - B2
Dvořák, Vojtěch ; Vachková, Marie (referee) ; Berglová, Eva (advisor)
My dissertation introduces a new programme for language teaching of adult people in the working process. Its goal is to describe the tutorial with a focus on achieving the levels B1-B2 according to the classification of Common European Reference Framework. The starting-point is an identification of specific conditions for learning in companies, which are especially students' big busyness, accompanied by irregular attendance in courses and minimum opportunities for their home self-study. Available teaching materials are not adapted suitably and the learning process based on these materials is very inefficient. This mainly means an inappropriate presentation of vocabulary in form of vocabulary lists, which suggest learning word-units without the context and dividing the grammar system into many partial phenomena in a large number of lessons, which does not allow to create and keep solid grammatical foundations. The structure of the educational materials disregards the specifics of teaching adults and is set for high school learning enviroment, expecting long-term systematic studies including regular home studying. The new programme adequately addresses the methodology and organization of teaching in limited learning conditions. Acquisition of language skills was divided into complementary learning systems,...

Conception of youth in Czech in comparison with other european languages
Vašíčková, Andrea ; Chejnová, Pavla (referee) ; Janovec, Ladislav (advisor)
The present thesis derives information from three main sources which helped us analyse how native speakers of four European languages perceive, understand and evaluate youth. We used dictionaries, corpuses and a questionnaire research to study the meanings, metaphors, colours, images and emotions speakers connect with youth. According to the dictionaries, the prototypical bearers of youth are creatures and plants. The dictionaries of synonyms prove that the meaning of the word youth partially overlaps with the meaning of the word childhood, and thus, depending on the context, we can understand youth either as a hyperonym of childhood, or as its synonym. In all the four languages a prototypical young person has not come of age and there is a secondary meaning of the word youth as a state of the body and mind creating an illusion of a younger age. Czech phraseology shows that we speak about human youth using metaphors of birds' youth and unripe plants which gives our image of youth green colour. Czech proverbs characterise youth as a period of joy, growth, health, energy, mobility and learning on the one hand, and inexperience and unwiseness on the other hand. Some proverbs (a young idler, an old beggar or who so learnt young forgets not when he is old) exist in many languages, express general human wisdom...

Combinatorial Properties of Finite Models
Hubička, Jan ; Nešetřil, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Pultr, Aleš (referee) ; Cameron, P. (referee)
We study countable embedding-universal and homomorphism-universal structures and unify results related to both of these notions. We show that many universal and ultrahomogeneous structures allow a concise description (called here a finite presentation). Extending classical work of Rado (for the random graph), we find a finite presentation for each of the following classes: homogeneous undirected graphs, homogeneous tournaments and homogeneous partially ordered sets. We also give a finite presentation of the rational Urysohn metric space and some homogeneous directed graphs. We survey well known structures that are finitely presented. We focus on structures endowed with natural partial orders and prove their universality. These partial orders include partial orders on sets of words, partial orders formed by geometric objects, grammars, polynomials and homomorphism orders for various combinatorial objects. We give a new combinatorial proof of the existence of embedding-universal objects for homomorphism-defined classes of structures. This relates countable embedding-universal structures to homomorphism dualities (finite homomorphism-universal structures) and Urysohn metric spaces. Our explicit construction also allows us to show several properties of these structures.

Analysis of suitability of the application of process management in the company Auto Hégr, a.s.
Hégr, Jaroslav ; Dědina, Jiří (advisor) ; Cejthamr, Václav (referee)
The main target of this paper is to analyze suitability of the application of process management in the company Auto Hégr, a. s. This target also includes finding correct answers to the following questions: Is the use of process management a suitable tool that would improve the productivity of the whole enterprise or not? Is it suitable to undergo the whole process of changing the company Auto Hégr, a. s. towards process management? Would it not be more purposeful and efficient to take a different way of improvement? Is it not the best solution to make no change? The method used for achieving the main target of this paper is the analytical and synthetic cognitive procedure. The examined situation in the company Auto Hégr, a. s. is divided, in terms of thoughts, into the individual parts that are the subject of further examination. Deeper knowledge of the partial sections enables to get to know better the situation in the company Auto Hégr, a. s. as a whole. The author of this paper carried out the input analysis of change the output of which is the argumentative report including the decision that it is suitable to launch the project of the application of process management in the company Auto Hégr, a. s. Hereby the author performed all preliminary work that always must be carried out prior to the realization of the implementation project itself. The author summarized the main results of carrying out the input analysis of change at the end of this paper. This paper and its results are fully usable in practice of a specific enterprise, in this case of the company Auto Hégr, a. s. The correct application of process management in the company Auto Hégr, a. s. cannot be carried out without necessary documentation, i.e. the implementation project. Its first part is carrying out the input analysis of change that is completely covered in the practical part of this paper. As another suggestion for solving the given subject, the dealing with the other parts of the implementation project just presents itself. This procedure is completely logical and its following is one of the conditions of the correct application of process management in the company Auto Hégr, a. s. Only high-quality carrying out the pre-investment phase of realization of the implementation project will guarantee its overall high quality.
