The Role of Action in the Perspective of Hannah Arendt's Political Philosophy in Contemporary Civil Society
Muzikářová, Šárka ; Novotný, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Skovajsa, Marek (referee)
For the philosopher Hannah Arendt, the term vita activa comprehends three fundamental human activities-labor, work and action. All three activities shall be part of our life and, ideally, they shall be balanced. Besides being in balance, Arendt believes that action is the most important one of them. Through action, man steps out of the loneliness which he needs for his work and enters the public realm that helps to form. There he establishes a mutual relationships with the others, negotiates, persuades and confirms his presence. But this is not possible if a man transforms himself, because of his relation to work, into the homo faber or, in the worst case, into the animal laborans. Work and expenditure take control of his life. This, together with bureaucracy, the influence of technology and mass being, increases the feeling of loneliness and insignificancy, and opens a space for violence, terror and ideology what can cause the governance of totalitarianism. If we agree that Arendt's conception of the public realm is, in the basic characteristics and on the most general level, similar to civil society from our modern viewpoint, we gain "new" realm where man can act and can gain the experience of action. The integrity of his vita activa is restored. It means that a man should be less threatened by...

Communication between censorship institutions and church magazines duringthe period 1956-1989 as per example of the Evangelical Church of Czech Brethren
Du Toit, Petra ; Köpplová, Barbara (advisor) ; Morée, Pieter (referee)
This thesis is concerned with the issue of the publication of church newspapers and magazines and the regulation thereof by state institutions and organs of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia in the period 1956-1989. The first chapter gives a general overview of the policy of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia in the field of mass media and is divided into three parts: after the Second World War, after the communist putsch in February 1948 and after the invasion by armies of the Soviet Block in August 1968. To better understand the situation of the church in that period of time it was necessary to include a chapter that outlines the general context of the way in which the Communist Party perceived and understood the church and religion as such, and therefore the second chapter offers a short introduction to the 'church policy' of the Communist Party. The third chapter monitors general facts related to the publishing business of the time, with special reference to the church newspaper and its control and restriction by the Central Church Publisher and Secretariat for Church Affairs of the Ministry of Culture. The fourth and main part of this study focuses on the newspaper and magazines of the Czech Brethren Church, with each subsection containing a detailed description of the publishing...

Conditions of work focussing onworking environment in open space place
Houšková, Helena ; Šerák, Michal (referee) ; Kocianová, Renata (advisor)
In this baccalaurean theses are being discussed the questions of working conditions and working environment as such and their implementation into a context of working process and its international and Czech legislation. And simultaneously the same factors are being considered from the standpoint of a personal management. Firstly, general aspects of working environment are being discussed and then they are viewed through perspective of health protection during a working process. These factors influence efficiency of a worker dependently on health conditions of an individual worker. The next part of the work is focused on working environment in administrative sphere and its influence on health condition and working efficiency. The author discusses a type of a working environment called "open space" [other terms used are pools or halls]. She describes their specifics and collects advantages and disadvantages of these types of working spaces. The outcomes of various researches, studies and publications the author' s own experiences were used in order to characterize that types of working spaces. The study is accompanied by the personal questionnaire-survey investigating possible sequences between negative psychological risky factors and a possibility of a manifestation of a "burned-out" syndrome among...

Some aspects of the discontinuous Galerkin method for the solution of convection-diffusion problems
Hájek, Jaroslav ; Najzar, Karel (referee) ; Feistauer, Miloslav (advisor)
This work is concerned with the numerical solution of initial-boundary value problems for convection-diffusion partial differential equations. Three methods are studied and compared for this purpose: the combined finite element - finite volume (FE-FV) method, the discontinuous Galerkin finite element (DGFE) method of lines, and the spacetime discontinuous Galerkin method. The combined FE-FV method uses piecewise linear conforming finite elements for the discretization of the diffusion terms and piecewise constant FV approximation of the convective terms. The relation between the FE and FV approximations is determined by the so-called lumping operator. In the DGFE method of lines, the space semidiscretization is carried out by piecewise polynomial functions constructed over a triangular mesh, in general discontinuous on interfaces between neighbouring elements. In the space-time DGFE method, the approximate solution is piecewise polynomial in space as well as in time. We discuss both theoretical and practical aspects of the methods, and present numerical results for each of them. For the DGFE method of lines we derive an a posteriori error estimate.

Calibration and Exact Characterization of Aerosol Deposit colected by SDI Impactor
Havránek, Vladimír
Ion beam analytical methods as PIXE (Particle induced X-ray emission), PIGE (Particle induced gamma-ray emission) and RBS (Rutherford backscattering spectrometry) are frequently used for elemental analysis of different types of atmospheric aerosol samples in a form of aerosol deposits on thin plastic filters or foils (Alfassi and Peisach, 1991, Johansson and Campbell, 1988). An ideal sample for analysis is thin homogeneous aerosol deposit with known deposit area. However in practice such samples are rare. They are often thick (more than limit for thin target approximation i.e. larger then few hundred micrograms per square centimetres), of irregular shape and unknown deposit area. In such conditions all obtained elemental mass results should be corrected for apparent deposit thickness, deposit homogeneity and effective deposit area.

Monolog as an authentic confession in the context of the contemporary drama
Hýča, Martin ; ULLRICHOVÁ, Daria (advisor) ; VEDRAL, Jan (referee)
The thesis deals with the notion of monologue and monologicity as a peculiar means of expression of the modern drama. The concept of monologue is defined within the frame of its relation towards dialogue, in the context of theoretical thinking about drama and theater, and in terms of the application of these concepts in everyday life.It is based on the theoretical works by Jan Mukařovský and Jiří Veltruský. The concept of monologue as a lack of dialogicity is being challenged with understanding monologue as a haven of authenticity, a space for authentic testimony. Through the general reflection, thoughts are put in connection with modern drama and illustrated on examples from particular drama works. The thesis leads into a reasoning about the dialogue between the stage and the auditorium as a way-out from the monological situation on the stage.
