Gendr stereotypes in english language course books for grammar and secondary schools
Svobodová, Pavla ; Higgins, Bernadette (referee) ; Chalupský, Petr (advisor)
This thesis focuses on the occurrence of gender stereotypes in English language coursebooks for grammar and secondary schools. Its theoretical part offers the reader an insight into the issues of gender by defining its basic terms and by describing the individual areas of gender stereotyping. In the practical part the author analyses three different English language textbooks in terms of the occurrence of the aforementioned stereotypes. A survey conducted among three groups of students working with the textbooks investigates their views of gender stereotyping and supports the author's analyses. Both the author and the students try to suggest improvements of the individual textbook contents in order to avoid any gender stereotypes. In the conclusion, all three textbooks are compared and evaluated with special focus on whether they teach the students gender tolerant attitudes and are therefore appropriate or inappropriate for the purpose of education.

Learning Exercises in English Textbooks
Dřímal, Daniel ; Kasíková, Hana (advisor) ; Valenta, Josef (referee)
The thesis deals with the issues connected to learning exercises in educational English students' textbooks. The main focus is based on the occurrence of the educational exercises analysis in these textbooks. In general, learning exercises develop two main branches - the language itself (specifically grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation) and language skills (speaking, listening comprehension, reading comprehension and writing). The attention is paid to what types of learning exercises usually appear and what exactly they develop in students' cognition and their language skills. The educational enrichment coming from these activities is very important for the students' cognitive development. At first, the theoretical part of each sub-branch is discussed. Afterwards, the emphasis is placed on the learning exercises themselves as these are essential components of the students' textbooks. The theoretical part is relatively extensive. It takes the fundamental proportion of the thesis and contains detailed descriptions. The explorative section is based on analysis of several English textbooks intended for students of the English language. It focuses on the proportion of language itself and the proportion of language skills. The thesis outcomes may contribute to the English learning exercises issues. In...

Ritualization of death and dying in the Revolution of 1848: the cult of the dead
Randák, Jan ; Hlavačka, Milan (advisor) ; Řepa, Milan (referee)
non-traditional view of the subject of the revolutionary year of 1848. While a vast majority of the existing research has been focused on the course of the revolution, particular political camps and leaders of the contemporary movement, I have put emphasis on a phenomenon seemingly concealed and disregarded. My attention was aimed on the dead, the victims of the events of this hectic period. Death as such has indeed been a traditional interest of historians, nevertheless, reception and reflection thereof in a political or rather a revolutionary context is a fairly less regarded subject. Therefore, I have laid out an indeed concrete topíc in my thesis - ritualisation of death and dying during the revolution of 1848. A simple question is apparent: why study this subject of the dead and victims in the Czech context when no major fights occured here and thus the number of fatalities was not extreme? After reading my thesis the answer com es up as obviously as the question does: despite a relatively low body count of the Pentecost events in June 1848, a cult of the dead and victims of the revolution 1848 is present in the course of the few restless months. The cult of the dead was a sophisticated means of using the victims to promote particular interests of both the reformatory and revolutionary camp as well as...

Ritualization of death and dying in the Revolution of 1848: the cult of the dead
Randák, Jan ; Hlavačka, Milan (advisor) ; Řepa, Milan (referee) ; Kořalka, Jiří (referee)
Looking apart from subsidiary topics, the presented thesis generally attempts to take a non-traditional view of the subject of the revolutionary year of 1848. While a vast majority of the existing research has been focused on the course of the revolution, particular political camps and leaders of the contemporary movement, I have put emphasis on a phenomenon seemingly concealed and disregarded. My attention was aimed on the dead, the victims of the events of this hectic period.

Spectrophotometric determination of ascorbic acid in coloured samples
Moravcová, Gabriela ; Vespalcová, Milena (referee) ; Hrstka, Miroslav (advisor)
This bachelor’s thesis deals with spectrophotometric determination of ascorbic acid after the xylen extraction in coloured samples. The theoretical part deals with reactions, biochemistry and occurrence of ascorbic acid in foodstuffs. Also, it is dealt with various methods of determination of ascorbic acid, such as HPLC methods, electrochemical methods, titrimetric determinations, spectrophotometric determinations or polarographic method. In the experimental part of this method were first determined the concentration of ascorbic acid in the standards, then in real samples (vitamin tablets, orange juice and the juice of cultivated varieties of elderberry). Some validation parameters of the method were also determined. Sensitivity of the method was determined to 1,6772, linearity to 0,9990, limit of detection was set at 0,0466 mg/ml and the detection limit at 0,1552 mg/ml. Accuracy of the method was expressed as relative standard deviation, which gained 3,00% in value.

Danish immigration policy and its current changes: inner and outer influences
Vokáčová, Kateřina ; Rolenc, Jan Martin (advisor) ; Sršeň, Radim (referee)
This thesis deals with aspects of Danish immigration and Danish immigration policy. It aims to investigate which influences were the most significant in forming the present restrictive course of Danish immigration policy. In order to fulfill the aim of this thesis, changes made in immigration policy since the 1970's until today are analyzed and subsequently those events concerning both the national territory and the rest of the world which have most likely influenced its current course have been selected. This research resulted in the discovery that both external influences, such as terrorist attacks, European integration or cartoon controversy, and internal occurrences, such as the influence of the Danish People's Party, the media and the atmosphere in society, played their part. Though a small country, Denmark attracts immigrants due to the fact that there is a generous state welfare system and a high level of economic and social development. Until the Second World War, the flow of immigrants had been moderate and they mainly came from European countries. The current scenario has changed dramatically since then and in the course of the last forty years, the Danish population has increased by up to half a million people. Moreover, two thirds of the today's immigrants come from non-western countries which remains a serious challenge for Danish immigration society and policy.

Effect of high temperature and water shortage stresses duration during anthesis on the selected winter wheat yield formation components
Hlaváčová, Marcela ; Rapantová, Barbora ; Surá, Kateřina ; Klem, Karel ; Hlavinka, Petr ; Trnka, Miroslav
The aim of this study was to assess the effect of drought and high temperatures on Tobak winter wheat variety during one of the most sensitive developmental stage (anthesis) from the viewpoint of harvest index (HI) and spike productivity (SP). The 5 growth chambers (where the plants were exposed to these stress factors) were used for these purposes. The various protocols consisting in photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) course, relative air humidity (RH) and daily temperature courses were run. The plants were divided into 2 groups within each growth chambers: (1) Drough-stressed (Dry) and (2) well-watered (Wet). Two lengths of stresses duration were tested: 3 and 7 days. The plants were exposed to ambient weather conditions up to the full maturity after stresses exposition within the growth chambers. Subsequently, the plants were harvested manually and HI and SP were evaluated. The statistical analyses showed that the effect of each stress factor separately was statistically significant both for HI and SP14, nevertheless, these two factors interaction was statistically significant only in the case of HI.

Pedogenesis on Tertiary vulcanites in the Czech Republic
Krejčová, Soňa ; Šefrna, Luděk (advisor) ; Janderová, Jana (referee)
The introductory part provides a relatively detailed description of andosols. It describes their classification according to WRB (2006) and under Slovak classification system (2000). Czech classification of andosol is not defined, because occurrence of these soils in Czech area was not confirmed. It is characterized andosol parent material, chemical and physical properties. There is also a chapter on extending andosol in the world and a summary of factors that influence the pedogenesis of these soils. The following section summarizes the research of volcanic and tectonic evolution of Eger Rift, which is linked to young volcanism in the country. The summary contains also a geological and geomorphological characteristics of the main young volcanic area the Czech Republic (České středohoří, Doupovské hory). To these characteristics I added another summary of Velký Roudný, because these area is by Czech soil scientists appropriate for the occurrence of andosol. We also conducted at the Velký Roudný own legwork. Literature contains a chapter devoted to current knowledge about andosol in the Czech and Slovak Republic. Describe the results of works of authors who have dealt with the issue andosol. The Czech experts that were mostly Holusa O. (2003) and Novák et al. (2010), the Slovak Balkovič (2002) and...
