Integration of children with ADHD syndrome at the primary school level
Richterová, Kateřina ; Angelovská, Olga (advisor) ; Mouralová, Magdalena (referee)
This thesis deals with an integration of children with ADHD syndrome to ordinary primary schools. Manifestations of the disorder hinder in pupil's education, therefore it's necessary to pursue to them individually. Thanks to an amendment to the Czech law in 2005, have these pupils with special educational needs greater attention. The author examines the implementation of integrational policies of pupils with ADHD syndrome, through interviews with street-level bureaucrats and their clients. When reviewing the two questioned cases the integration of pupils with ADHD syndrome in the presence of an assistant teacher seems like very good solution. But there is still a big role played by other concerned people like parents, teachers, teacher assistants, principals or counselors. Few shortcomings can be found in the integration, most often flowing from the inadequate funding or the obsolete education system. From results we can conclude that integrational trend is running in the Czech Republic, however there are not always appropriate conditions in schools.

Řezníková, Veronika ; Topolová, Barbara (advisor) ; Just, Vladimír (referee)
The thesis' subject is an analysis of two productions by one of the most distinct Czech theatre directors, Jan Mikulášek. Based on her own experiences as a spectator, reviews and analyses in newspapers and theatre magazines, the authoress attempted to describe and analyse the stylistic features of Mikulášek's stage directions, using Trapná muka and Europeana as examples. Since both of the productions are based on originally non-dramatic texts, the thesis will also deal with the strategies of adaptation in addition to stage direction, acting and the visual and musical components. In the analysises of the productions are also included the contexts of the formation of the originál books and also the productions. In the end the thesis aims at a comparison of both productions and points to various differences which appear within the coherent directorial style common to both productions.

The Role of an Author in a Work of Art Based on Jan Mukařovský Focused on a Film
Lavická, Kristýna ; Borecký, Felix (advisor) ; Michalovič, Peter (referee)
In my thesis, I focus on the role of an author in a work of art, and film in particular, based on Jan Mukařovský. Firstly, I describe Mukařovský's structuralist concept of an art work. Thus, following Ferdinand de Saussure's ideas, he views a work of art as an autonomous sign. At the same time, he uses de Saussure's terms langue and parole. In this text, I explain Mukařovský's terms of an aesthetic function, a norm and a value. I also examine the difference between an individual and a subject of art, and between intentionality and unintentionality. I compare Mukařovský's view of the author with other theorists, namely, Umberto Eco, Roland Barthes and Michael Foucault. Hence, I show historical changes within the concept of the author, and also explain Pierre Levy's cyber-cultural understanding of it. In addition, I discuss other authors, who bring together film arts and the interplay of signs. In particular, I introduce James Monaco and Jerzy Plaževski, and connect their thoughts with ideas of Mukařovský. These authors create a bridge between the concept of a film author and Mukařovský, who does not discuss this authorship in particular. The focus here is on Jaroslav Vančát's theory of a multi-layered film, examining three layers of film with different authors. Focusing on films with actual actors,...

The introduction of bilingual local names as a public policy process (case study)
Mašková, Jana ; Mouralová, Magdalena (advisor) ; Ochrana, František (referee)
This diploma thesis examines the public political process for the implementation of local bilingual names while focusing on the enforcement of this law for citizens with Polish nationality in the Těšin Region. The main objective is to explain why this policy was or was not changed, what the reasons were for the non-conformity of the policy objectives with the results and to discover the actual failures in the implementation process, where as a consequence, in some villages the right of the minority to use local bilingual names was not fulfilled or was beset with problems in some villages. The subject of the investigation of both the legal and the institutional aspect of the problem focuses on the participating subjects, where one of the main roles of the committee for national minorities on the board of the municipal representatives was the requirement to implement local bilingual names. The guidelines for understanding the tools, procedures and relations used were the initial theoretical points related to the institutions and their changes, the implementation process (top-down and bottom-up approaches), initial theoretical points explaining the responsibilities of the participating subjects and not the intended consequences of their actions and those of others. The research design is a case study.

In order to define the stagings, the author bases her research upon archival theater reviews and studies in particular periodicals, photographical materials from the productions and in some cases also audiovisual recordings. Furthermore, other sources include the director's correspondence, notes about his work and the memories of his contemporary witnesses. The thesis also focuses on the historical context and the conditions at the National Theater of that particular time, which influenced Macháček's activity there.
