Preparing the Project Contemporary Czech Literary Life for The 1st Grade of Four-Year-Grammar School
Fiřtová, Kristina ; Hník, Ondřej (advisor) ; Klumparová, Štěpánka (referee)
Résumé Students of the 1st grade of four-year-grammar school are not well-informed about contemporary literary life. They think that only books that are currently being published should be classified as literature, knowing only the world bestsellers from all of the books that have actually been published. Students have almost never visited any reading or literary fairs. They know nothing about the various Czech literary awards. Some Czech writers, to them, are no longer relevant, for example Arnošt Lustig or Karel Šiktanc. In their minds, the success of an author is measured by the volume of sales and value of money. The severely marginalized authorial status, by viewing the writer not as a "prophet", but instead as an entertainment producer. People generally prefer special effects which offer immediate gratification, because they don't want to spend the time and concentration it takes to read. As far as the students are concerned, reading is boring and difficult. Czech students aren't tought to see value in reading. This could be the result of the methods which are used at Czech schools - suppressing critical thinking and paying more attention to the acquisition of knowledge. A five day project was created for this vary reason. Activities which could be integrated in the domain of literary life are...

When the health care of the patient becomes
PALIČKOVÁ, Pavla
The theoretical part is divided into five further parts. The first part is focused on the concept of health, definition of health which was constantly changing and also characterization of four various views on the concept of health. The second part will explain the concept of disease, the burden of disease and nurse's and patient's attitudes toward the disease will be discussed. The third part contains characteristics of the patient, their role, personal qualities and their shift in how they experience of the disease and how they act. The fourth part is focused on the nurse as such. It describes the role of doctor, nurse and care worker in patient's position. The fifth and last part is dedicated to hospitalization. Here we can find relationship between a patient and a nurse in hospitalization. This goes with explaining the importance of conversation and its role during hospitalization. The last sub-chapter of this part covers adaptation to the hospital environment and concludes the theoretical part of this thesis.The aim of this work was to 1. Find out about the view of one's own experienced hospitalization. 2. Find out how nurse's personal qualities have been affected by hospitalization. 3. Find out whether the hospitalization has affected their further job performance.The research part of this thesis was carried out using the method of qualitative survey. Data were collected with the help of semi structured interview.In the beginning of the interview, each respondent was assured that her identity will remain anonymous and that all the information acquired will be used only for this bachelor thesis.The survey was carried out in the respondents' privacy.The research showed that hospitalization experience is different between nurses in the role of patient and "ordinary" patients.Nurses as patients have higher expectations for example towards nursing service or providing information on their health condition. That is given by their medical background. On the other hand, it turns out that their education prevents them from embracing the role of patient and ask more questions.We can therefore say that the nurse/patient is in a way a really demanding client for the medical staff. The research has revealed that it cannot be definitely stated that medical education has significant influence on providing information on health condition. The research has further shown that respondents had no issues with attractiveness and equipment of the department. Early waking up for taking the patients temperature was perceived as negative.The research shown that, in terms of providing assistance in self-care, the personnel was very helpful, attentive, kind and saw "no issues".Further part of the research investigation was to determine how the health nurse/patient's hospitalization affected them on a personal level. What changes affect the nurse's professional attitude towards the patient after having personal experience as a patient and how they will use the experience in their professional performance. The results show that the respondents are trying to contemplate on their hospitalization experience. The results have also shown that the respondents tend to change their attitude mostly on the basis of unprofessional attitude on the part of medical personnel.In spite of this fact, nine respondents managed not only to think about their professional weaknesses but were also able to make use of the negative hospitalization experience for further development and improvement as for their professional performance. This thesis provides an insight of a nurse in the role of patient in hospitalization focused on the behaviour of nurses and their carer's approach towards patients.As the results have shown that the most problematic part was obtaining and providing information, I propose a seminar focused on the topic of how to learn relevant communication skills.

Design of system external communication in district of Prague 14
Novotný, Tomáš ; Pešek, Ondřej (advisor) ; Pavlík, Marek (referee)
The purpose of this work is to analyze the existing forms of external communications of municipal authority in Prague 14 and suggest improvements to modern approaches and appropriate to the needs of local residents. This area is developing dynamically in the Czech Republic. Methods that are common in the private sector are now moving into the public administration, as the new trend is to understand its performance as a service. This is related to the need for better interaction between the municipal authorities and the relevant residents. The theoretical part will summarize current knowledge on the topic. With their help, then the practical part will verify their existing application, reveal shortcomings and suggest corrective solutions. I would like to emphasize that I will not deal with internal communication of municipal authority.

The Satanic Verses: In Quest of Identities
Poncarová, Petra ; Nováková, Soňa (advisor) ; Varhaníková, Halka (referee)
in English This thesis is concerned with the theme of identity in Salman Rushdie's novel The Satanic Verses, namely with the metamorphoses of identity in relation to space. The issue of space and identity comprises both the analysis of the concrete locations and their impact on human beings, but also broader topics such as the mass migration in the second half of the 20th century. The novel is (in)famous mainly for the charge of blasphemy that was brought against it, and for the international controversy that followed its publication, but this thesis tries to read the novel as a literary work of art, as a manifestation of free authorial imagination which nevertheless addresses many issues of great social and political relevance. The first chapter defines the scope of the thesis, its methods and main theoretical sources; the second begins the actual discussion of identity: how are identities presented at the beginning of the novel. This chapter also briefly introduces some theoretical attitudes to identity. The relation of identity to space is the topic of the third chapter. Salman Rushdie's writing in general is characterized by the author's deep interest in the transformations of human identity under the influence of migration, and in The Satanic Verses, this theme becomes both the formal and the...

Media image of Czech and France politics
Serbusová, Monika ; Zbořil, Zdenek (advisor) ; Fišerová, Michaela (referee)
The hypothesis of this diploma thesis is that the French and Czech media informed differently about their domestic political situation as well as about political situation of the other country. This should be in accordance to theories of Michel Foucault and Roland Barthes, concerning language as a tool of power. Are media acting like an instrument of power of their own countries? The research in this thesis is based on qualitative content analysis of relevant texts. Content analysis is complemented by analysis of the accompanying photos. Texts and images are taken from selected Czech and French newspapers (such as Le Monde, Le Figaro, L'Equipe, Libération, Lidove noviny, Pravo, Mlada fronta Dnes), which appeared during the Czech presidency of the European Union. The work focuses on news, comments and analysis articles. These sources are searched for statements that are calling attention to the specific meanings of the meanings of common, whether the statements of facts, or expressive. Statements are analysed not only in terms of their frequency, but in particular as a meaning system.

Forest vegetation changes in the Bohemian Forest during the second half of 20th century
Prach, Jindřich ; Kopecký, Martin (advisor) ; Sádlo, Jiří (referee)
Long-term forest vegetation changes were studied in the Bohemian Forest and its foothills. New vegetation relevés were taken at sites of typological plots established by forest engineers between 1955 and 1980. Data from 158 semi-permanent plots were analysed using modern statistical methods. The data show significant changes and homogenization of the vegetation. Ellenberg indicator values indicate eutrofication. Repeated measurements of soil pH suggest acidification, but the interpretation of these data is complicated by methodological problems. The forests under study exhibit high spatial variability. No main prevailing trend in vegetation changes was found. The changes are considered to be related to sulphur and nitrogen deposition and forest management. The influence of increasing age of forest stands seems to be unimportant. Discussed are not only vegetation changes and their possible causes but also the possibilities and limitations of using such old forestry data in botanical and ecological studies.

Zorka Ságlová
Bučilová, Lenka ; Juříková, Magdalena (referee) ; Klimešová, Marie (advisor)
Zorka Ságlová was born in Humpolec on 14 August 1942. Between 1961 and 1966 she studied at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague in the textile studio of Antonín Kybal. From informel paintings she moved to structures created out of basic geometrical elements based on a particular textile structure - sateen weave. In 1968 she exhibited her works at the New Sensitivity, an exhibition presenting new tendencies of constructive art, and she became a part of this important phenomenon in Czech art. Her latest objects presented at this exhibition led her to the idea of the viewer as an active participant on the creation of her artworks. This resulted in four actions taking place in the open landscape and an event called Hay, straw in the prestigious Gallery of Václav Špála in 1969. For this work she was largely critisized by the communist media as well as the Czech artistic community. This all led to her isolation in the 70's and 80's. From 1976 she created a series of tapestries. During this work she discovered a rabbit/hare as her emblematic symbol for a long period. She started to collect all relevant information about its significance in various cultures. In 1984 she returned to painting. She updated her structures based on sateen weave by using thousands of rabbit silhouettes instead of...
