Šourků, Jindřich ; Kohut, Pavel Vojtěch (advisor) ; Novotný, Vojtěch (referee)
Anotation THE PERMANENT DIACONATE AS A PARADIGM OF ECCLESIASTIC SERVICES The Permanent diaconate, that have on the west extinction to practically for a thousand years, was restoration on the Second Vaticans council, practised on the years 1962-1965. It is the congregational sacrament, that can to give away to the married and the single man. In the present-day side by side there has been double diaconate, permanent and transient. That be related to yet used linear model congregational sacraments. Much better is the pyramidal model for to express congregational sacrament, which theological faithful shows the plentitude of the priesthood episcopacy, whereon the diaconate and the presbyter every one his specific way participate. The centre of diaconate is the action "in personnel Christi-Servi",which about to be also central structural member of the deacon's spirituality.

Living Europe: the alien impressions of Henry James and Lambert Strether
Manire, Damian Peter ; Roraback, Erik Sherman (referee) ; Procházka, Martin (advisor)
Lambert Strether's position in The Ambassadors is, in my view, a metafictional allegory for James's techniques of authorial perspective. As Donald Stone notes, "It was James's contribution to fiction that [...] he not only codified the subjective nature of the novelist, but transformed the hero of fiction into a limited [...] observer."170 James effectively expresses his authorial consciousness in a novel that courts a more complicated delegation of positional plays between reader, author, and subject. Thus, I disagree with William Stowe's assertion that The Ambassadors' theme of "how life can and ought to be lived" presents problems for which neither the novel's subject nor author "has a solution, problems that challenge the reader to [sic] reexamine the very valuation of European experience which the texts seems also to be promoting."171 Considering James's formal virtuosity, it becomes clear that James has more to express to the reader than the "valuation of European experience."172 Indeed, I hope it has been made clear over these last pages that "the solution" for how "to live" is fixed in Jamesian aestheticism. James broadcasts a double perspective that simultaneously engages the aesthetic along the social fissures of modernity, producing "masterpieces of presentational technique"173 to cite Malcolm...

Other worlds in the novel by Julio Cortázar
Řeřichová, Michaela ; Vydrová, Hedvika (referee) ; Housková, Anna (advisor)
The objective of this thesis is to capture diverse relations and connection between the perception of reality, places and fictional caracters whose destinies are mutually reflected and projected. This docile procedure is leading us to the principle of the double, focusing on three couples of doubles: Horacio - Traveler, la Maga - Talita and the author - Morelli. The tenuous frontier between the visible reality and other worlds hidden beneath the surface is related to the theme of quest to which we dedicate the third part of our thesis. We concentrate on the interpretation of several aspects of search: search for one's own identity, home and life-path in the level of the fictional caracters, search for the true reality in the level of the narrator and at he same time the involvement of the reader into this process. On the one hand the reader becomes one of the caracters of the novel and on the other hand he participates, together with the author, in the formation of the novel.

Transport of Dangerous Substances in the Czech Republic
VANDAS, David
The topic of the diploma written assignment is "Transport of Dangerous Substances in the Czech Republic" and it was chosen for elaboration of the wholesome view on the road, train, ship and plane transportation of the hazardous materials and mixtures. These transportations represent a possible risk of damage to life, health, property or environment for the society. Hazardous materials and mixtures nowadays are being transported in large measures and there is an assumption in the future that the volume of the transported hazardous materials and mixtures will increase. For elaboration of this written assignment three hypothesis were given: a) Legal regulations of the European Union and the Czech Republic solve the problematic of the transportation of hazardous materials and mixtures well enough. b) The public has enough information about the transportation of the hazardous chemical substances or mixtures. c) People that work in the field of the transportation of hazardous materials or mixtures are well informed about the transportation of hazardous chemical substances or mixtures. For determining whether the legal regulations solve the problematic of the transportation of hazardous materials and mixtures well enough the literary sources which deal with this issue, legal regulations of the Czech Republic and the European Union and other international agreements were used. After working through these sources it was found out that the international, the EU and Czech legal regulations or agreements solve this issue well enough and emphasis is given on convergence of legal regulations of all transportations. Implementation of international agreements and legal regulations of the European Union into the legal regulations of the Czech Republic happens in the present time very fast and without failures. For figuring out the awareness of the public and awareness of the people working in the field of the transportation of hazardous materials and mixtures for the diploma written assignment on the topic of "The Transportation of Hazardous Materials and Mixtures on the Territory of the Czech Republic" there was a quantitative research made. The quantitative research was made with the help of handed out questionnaires. The public was represented by the employees of the Regional Municipalities of the Czech Republic. Both of the groups were given the same questionnaires. The results of the questionnaire research were evaluated, expressed in percentage and statistically assessed. For the statistical assessment the double selection T-test was used to find out whether the difference between the assessed groups is statistically important. People working in the transportation of hazardous substances and mixtures have sufficient information which was confirmed by the questionnaire research. By the made statistical assessment it was found out that the difference between the groups is statistically significant and so the public does not have sufficient information related to the transportation of hazardous substances and mixtures. Due to the results of the questionnaire research and mainly that the hypothesis b) - The public has enough information about the transportation of hazardous chemical substances or mixtures was not confirmed. In the conclusion of the written assignment there are a couple of suggestions for improvement of the awareness of the public. For example as a part of education at primary and high schools and training schools where this education is already running as a part of The Protection of Human during Incidents. This education has been going on since 2003. And that is why the older people in the public are not well met with this issue and they should be introduced to it by for example a media campaign by means of short TV spots on public television channels or by means of spots that already the Independent BESIP Department of the Ministry of Transportation makes up. These spots are called Besipky.

Horký, Adam ; Pullmann, Michal (advisor) ; Randák, Jan (referee)
The work focuses on everyday life of students of Charles University in Prague living in university dormitories during 1970s and 1980s. It shows most common ways of spending free time, cultural and social activities and it also deals with the subject of foreign students. It raises the question on the amount of autonomy the students had or had not for achieving their goals and needs. It pays attention on a specific double role that many of the students had while being members of student milieu as well as official structures - Communist Party of Czechoslovakia or Socialist Union of Youth. It also investigates negotiation between students, members of official structures and employees of dormitories in order to achieve certain form of status quo that would be acceptable for all the inhabitants of the dormitories seeking their "quiet life". Furthermore, specific forms of ideological work that included participation of every student are looked into, including the elections. Attention is also paid to official ideological language and its role in legitimizing students' needs. Chosen space and its inhabitants offer one of many possible views and explanations of specific stability of 1970s and 1980s communist regime in Czechoslovakia.
