Is the European monetary union the Optimal Currency Area?
Bambas, Jan ; Dočkal, Dalibor (advisor) ; Řežábek, Pavel (referee)
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to answer the question whether European Currency Union (particularly the countries that have already entered the 3rd phase of European monetary union) is the Optimal Currency Area (OCA). This question is significant, especially when examining advantages and disadvantages of using a common currency (Euro). This work clarifies fundamental conditions that are connected with the theory of optimal currency area, as it has developed since R. A. Mundell. The thesis also briefly introduces historical development of the European Union and Monetary Union, and tries to point to fundamental turning-points within the integration process. Furthermore, there is a comparison with other regions which use a common currency, e g. the United States of America. One of the main characteristics of the OCA is unification of business cycles within the region. The final section of this thesis is devoted to an analysis and overview of business cycles of selected countries before and after adopting Euro.

Gaining investor's trust is fundamental feature in any successful capital market. Unfortunately, this is the most attacked point by various types of illegal transactions, practices or unethical behaviour in nowadays society.

Greens versus greens. Radical ecology - the comparative analysis of social ecology and deep ecology.
Novák, Arnošt ; Rynda, Ivan (advisor) ; Ortová, Jitka (referee)
The thesis presents comparative analyse of two streams of radical ecology - social and deep. This comparative study uses the hermeneutic method to select essential themes of the dispute between social and deep ecology. The essential themes are: the concept of nature, racioniality, the causes of ecological problems, the vision of environment as garden or wilderness, overpopulation and the ecological policy in action. The result of this comparative analyses is that synthesis of social and deep ecology isn't possible because of fundamental dissagreement. Despite this the discussion between both ecologies is needed. The social and deep ecology grow close by the critics of contemporary capitalistic and industrial society and awareness of necessary change.

Stoicism, Buddhism, Christianity - Similar Motifs and Fundamental Distinctions
Kolářová, Ilona ; Blažková, Miloslava (referee) ; Funda, Otakar A. (advisor)
Vypsané téma "Stoicismus, buddhismus, křesťanství - podobné motivy a zásadní odlišnosti" jsem si zvolila z několika důvodů: a) zaujal mě samotný nápad porovnat na první pohled zjevně odlišné myšlenkové proudy, b) ani o jednom z uvedených směrů jsem ve chvíli, kdy bylo téma zadáno, nevěděla více informací než základní fakta. Téma pro mě představovalo výzvu, vnímala jsem ho jako podnět bližšímu seznámení se s učením stoicismu, buddhismu a křesťanství. Nejen proto, abych získala hlubší vhled do problematiky těchto filosofií, jsem se rozhodla věnovat se komparaci stoicismus, buddhismus, křesťanství. Práce má být příspěvkem vymezení tří odlišných modelů člověkovy filosofické a náboženské sebereflexe. Získané poznatky hodlám uplatnit při výuce.

Concepts of harmony in five metaphysical poets
Jajtner, Tomáš ; Hilský, Martin (advisor) ; Procházka, Martin (referee) ; Mánek, Bohuslav (referee)
My interest in metaphysical poetry has always been tainted with a sense of amazement and awe: the poetry of the School of Donne, indeed, poses fundamental questions about the nature of modem poetry and the mission of a poet within a disenchanted world. The slow abandonment of the old Pythagorean system of ham1onious spheres rotating around a stable earth and the acceptance of the heliocentric Copernican-Keplerean universe marked a true "breaking of the circle of perfection''- to use the term of Marjorie Nicholson - and entailed a complex breach in the nature of representational arts. The old cosmology depicted the universe as truly universa!, i.e. turning around a single axis, a single principle, or a clearly defined centre. The order of creation was granted by the gradual chain of being, uniting the lowest with the highest in a scale of perfection. The nature of representational arts was, primarily, to re-present the order of creation: i.e. finding a means of transfer between the static order of universe and human understanding. Classical Renaissance literary theory - in fact, inherited from Antiquity - emphasised that poetry as the art of making was to "teach and delight": its delightfulness had to be firmly bound with instruction and initiation into to the order of harmonious cosmos. Indeed, Sidney...
