The motorism phenomenon - The development of motorism in our country from 1987 to the present
Kovářová, Marcela ; Jakubec, Ivan (advisor) ; Szobi, Pavel (referee)
In the present bachelor thesis, I will deal with the development of motorism in our country from the turn of the 19th and 20th century to the present. The issue will be treated from the social-historical point of view. At the beginning of the last century, a car was owned only by the richest class. Nowadays, hovewer, motorism became an absolute phenomenon and almost each family in the Czech Republic own a car. In my work, I will attempt to find out the main factors leading to this development. I will analyse the increasing living standards of the population. I will deal with the increasing density and quality of the road network in our country. Describing the density of the railway network, or bus connection, I would like to answer the question whether they were able to ensure transport and travelling facilities for inhabitants sufficiently, or whether a car represented a necessary possession in this respect. I will follow the development of our car factories (Škoda plants, Tatra Kopřivnice), concentrating on the sales development on the internal market. At the end of this work, I will sum up the main factors of the motorist development. In my work, I will use published sources and the latest specialized literature.

Contract analyses, concrete business case
Stepanenko, Karol ; Malý, Josef (advisor) ; Halík, Jaroslav (referee)
At the beginning of the 21st century the international trade gets more important than ever before. The amount of the traded goods rises. There are more and more new small and medium size companies that participate in the international trade but have rather limited experience with it. This brings new threat to the business. It is, therefore, advisable to include one of the thirteen international commercial terms also known as INCOTERMS. These terms are published by the International Chamber of Commerce in Paris. The terms, however, are not a standard part of a contract and therefore if the parties want to use it, they must clearly refer to one in the contract. These 13 terms set rights and obligations for both contract parties. This paper aims to analyze INCOTERMS 2000 and apply the facts on general commercial terms of 1CSC PRECISION TUBES, a.s.

Jíšová, Kateřina ; Šmahel, František (advisor) ; Doležalová, Eva (referee) ; Pátková, Hana (referee)
Testaments are unique resource in the search for an understanding of the everyday lives of the residents of medieval towns. Through this medium it is possible to investigate religiosity, to analyse the social stratification of the population, and to map property relationships, family life or the relationship of individuals to death. In this country they have survived in a number of towns, including Český Brod, Plzeň (Pilsen), Kutná Hora, Litomyšl, Soběslav and Kadaň. The greatest number of testaments are found in Prague, where collections survive in the municipal rolls, along with inventories of effects in later periods, for almost the entire period from the 15th through to the 19th centuries. The oldest Czech testaments are in the memorial books of the Prague Old Town (MS 986, Liber vetustissimus) and date to the period beginning 1360 and ending 1419. A collection of some 80 testaments from the years 1428-1441 is to be found in a memorial tome (MS 992) of the Prague Old Town, while testaments from the Lesser Town (Malá Strana) survive in the council manual. An ever more designated agenda required the separation of books intended for the administration of effects from memorial or markets books. The New Town's Prague testaments are the most complete collection of Late Medieval testaments found within the...

Fontánová, Barbora ; Cihelková, Eva (advisor) ; Pavlík, Petr (referee)

The aim of this thesis is to describe the changing character of humanitarian aid, its constraints and failures and the means of tackling them with emphasis on evolution during the last twenty years. The thesis deals mainly with failures caused by inaccurate assessment of needs of the victims of humanitarian crisis, constraints complicating complying with the principles of humanitarian action, limitations arising from the respect of state sovereignty and the problem of misappropriation of humanitarian aid and corruption. The shift in solving problems will be presented on the case of Czech non-governmental organization People in Need.

Jean Ray, a Belgian author of fantasy short stories
Tauchmanová, Jana ; Jamek, Václav (advisor) ; Pohorský, Aleš (referee)
Raymundus Joannes Maria De Kremer, best-known under the pseudonym of Jean Ray, was one of the most important Belgian authors of the first half of the twentieth century. His contribution to literature is immense, both in its volume and in its diversity, stretching well over sixty years of uninterrupted writing. While he wrote mostly short stories of the fantastic genre and adventure novels, he also published detective stories under the pseudonym of John Flanders. A major part of his work was published in newspapers and magazines. Jean Ray was bilingual, which allowed him to write both in French and Flemish, dividing his attention equally between the two. The majority of his writings was published either anonymously or under various pseudonyms. The aim of our thesis is to provide a monograph overview of the said author. The first part situates his work in the context of Belgian literature written in French and the fantastique genre in general. The second part is devoted to his life, with special focus on his literary career. The third part contains analyses of selected parts of his extensive oeuvre. Briefly, we look at the Harry Dickson detective stories.

The Irish Peasant Novels of Emily Lawless Hurrish: A Study & Grania: The Story of an Island
Bonnerová, Kateřina ; Wallace, Clare (advisor) ; Pilný, Ondřej (referee)
The Anglo-Irish writer, Emily Lawless (1845 - 1913), has not, in the period following her death, been a very well-known, or widely appreciated, author. At the end of the 19th century though, she was popular with the English reading public, mainly because of her two contemporary Irish peasant novels, Hurrish: A Study and Grania: The Story of an Island, in which she managed to awaken English society to the plight of the impoverished Irish peasant. As Emily Lawless has not been widely studied nor written about only until recently, my access to resources, both primary and secondary, is very much limited. For this reason, I was able to acquire only one of the novels (Hurrish) as a printed publication, while the other novel Grania was available to me only in an electronic version. While William Linn's dissertation "The Life and Works of the Hon. Emily Lawless, First Novelist of the Irish Literary Revival" has been a valuable source of all the details of Lawless's biography and writings in general, the critical articles have been only a few. These include the 1980s first critical "appreciations" after years of neglect, by Elizabeth Grubgeld and Betty Webb Brewer, and more recent essays of James Cahalan, Jacqueline Belanger and Heidi Hansson. This thesis will attempt to introduce the writer in terms of life...

The purpose of this paper is to analyze Heremakhonon (1976) and Moi, Tituba sorcière… Noire de Salem (1986), the first novel and the most successful novel, respectively, of Maryse Condé (born 1937), one of the most influential figures of 20th century francophone literature (who is as of yet nearly entirely unknown to Czech contexts and whose work has not been translated into Czech). The underlying formal element connecting these novels, i.e. a narrating protagonist, is presented as both an individual and collective identity quest, during which Maryse Condé, for (im)personal reasons, problematizes certain theoretical paradigms of identity.
