Adventist and Mormon congregations in Czechia: Distribution, position and manifestation of social capital
Reeves, Daniel ; Havlíček, Tomáš (advisor) ; Daněk, Petr (referee)
This research examines the congregations of two relatively young, "western" Christian churches (namely the Seventh-day Adventist Church and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints - Mormons) within Czechia, as sources of social capital for their members. To place these congregations into a spatial context and to shed light on the organizational base of their extensive social networks, the distribution and position (in terms of percentage of adherents as a portion of the total population) of the respective churches are explored at global, regional (European) and local (Czechia) levels. Quantitative and qualitative methods are used to attempt to measure the strength of Adventist and Mormon congregations in Czechia as a viable source of social capital and to explore the diverse ways in which members benefit from belonging. The levels of trust and participation measured within congregations indeed suggest that they present ideal conditions for the development of social capital. Experiences and specific examples of active participants in Adventist and Mormon communities in Czechia confirm the existence of social capital benefits arising from their participation in a congregation.

The influence of syntactic structure (conjunctions) on spoken language (utterance section, intonation, pauses). Auditory analyses
Jelínková, Ivana ; Palková, Zdena (referee) ; Saicová Římalová, Lucie (advisor)
The presented thesis "The Influence of Syntactic Structure (Conjunctions) on Spoken Language (Tone Unit, Intonation, Pauses) - Auditory Analyses" explores the relations between conjunctions A (AND), ŽE (THAT), ABY (IN ORDER THAT), PROTOŽE (BECAUSE), ALE (BUT) in an exactly given syntactic structure and a system descritption of phonetic form of language - the tone unite, the intonation, and the pause. This research is based on the comparison of the public read and the public notread, but prepared utterances. At first we segment the chosen examples into the stress units; then we try to confirm the hypothesis that a conjuction begins a new tone unit; within the intonation, we monitor what is typical for the melodic line in the stress unit before the conjunction; the last part of our research is dedicated to pause and to their positions near the stress unit containing the conjunction. The research is based on the auditory analyses, therefore it does not use the instrumental analyses.

Theoretical predictions of the impact of a noisy channel on interpreters' performance in simultaneous interpretation and their empirical verification
Volenová, Eva ; Čeňková, Ivana (advisor) ; Ďoubalová, Jana (referee)
This thesis explores the issue of noise in the simultaneous interpreting process, using the concept of noise as defined in information theory and the model of communication developed by Claude Shannon. The theoretical section of this thesis first offers a brief explanation of the basic concepts involved in information theory, followed by a description of Shannon's model. Selected models of interpreting are then introduced based on this model of communication. A list of potential types of noise is then presented based on the literature examined that may have an impact on the interpreter during simultaneous interpreting. The empirical section of this thesis consists of a questionnaire and an experiment. The questionnaire determines to what extent interpreters find the potential types of noise from the list created in the theoretical section disruptive in their work. The list of types of noise is also expanded based on respondents' answers. The questionnaire also determines what strategies respondents employ to overcome adverse factors. The new types of noise and strategies employed are described in this thesis using open-ended answers from the respondents. The experiment tests the impact of a burst-noise channel on simultaneous interpreting. A total of 13 respondents took part in the experiment,...

Distribution and Meaning of the -ák Suffix in Czech Corpora
Goroshko, Vladimir ; Adamovičová, Ana (advisor) ; Starý Kořánová, Ilona (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with theoretical exploration of characteristics pertaining to the Czech suffix -ák and determination of statistical correlations relating to its distribution in Czech language corpora. The problem is approached through a general description of word formation in the Czech language and theoretical attribution of the -ák suffix to semantical and morphological categories and derivation paradigms. Particulars of the -ák suffix, such as homonymy, productivity and expressivity, are being described. Practical research is aimed at comparison of data obtained from the SYN2010 written language corpus and the ORAL2013 spoken language corpus and assessment of their appropriateness for investigation of the modern language. The research has confirmed that corpus data to a large extent conform with theoretical distribution of the suffix, with a few minor exceptions described in the text, and that such distribution shows certain differences between the written and the spoken corpora. Particular attention to univerbisation is paid both in the theoretical and the practical parts. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Comparison of Product Information Management software tools
Vytiska, Tomáš ; Slánský, David (advisor) ; Pour, Jan (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with the Product Information Management (PIM) and compares PIM software tools. Its goal is to introduce the area of the PIM systems in Czech language. Next subgoal is to define system of criteria. It is also necessary to achieve the last goal -- to analyze and compare PIM software. The method I used is the exploration of information sources; obtaining information through email communication and use of empirical knowledge to define system of criteria. The contribution of this work is the same as its goals. The work is divided into two parts. The first theoretical part deals with PIM definitions, context, functionality, architectures and PIM market developing. The second practical part involves selecting of particular PIM software tools, defining system of criteria and comparison of PIM software tools.

Validation of selected economic theories on macroeconomic data for the Czech Republic
Zoul, Lukáš ; Mirvald, Michal (advisor) ; Matula, Miloš (referee)
The main goal of the thesis is to explore selected economical hypotheses through theoretical conception applying macroeconomics data from the Czech Republic. This thesis includes the following hypotheses: budget deficits solved by increasing taxes, compromise between unemployment and inflation, low impact of budget deficits. To verify these hypotheses, there is a comparison with economic theories such as Laffer curve, which has showed that Laffer peak is at the level of 22 % taxation. Other used theory is the Phillips curve where correlation between inflation and unemployment rate is stronger based on yearly data than on monthly data. Theoretical model IS-LM has confirmed that multiplication effect could have caused the positive economic growth in 2010 and 2011. Even if economical hypothesizes are partially correct, they are not recommended for the government to determine their decisions. There are more efficient long-term solutions that can be used to solve challenges of the recent economic situation.

The process of constructing social status during transition to new classroom
Brožová, Martina ; Horáková Hoskovcová, Simona (advisor) ; Čáp, David (referee)
The aim of the research was to describe and understand the process of constructing social status during transition from elementary school to high school. The theoretical part focuses on the classroom as a social group, there is described the social structure of the classroom, as well as the most common roles and sociometric positions that occur in the classroom. There are also discussed relevant topics about adolescence and possible ways for exploring social relations within the classroom. In the empirical part I present a qualitative research, in which have been involved five high schools from Prague and its surroundings, N= 104 students. For this purpose two questionnaires were used - sociometric rating questionnaire SORAD and questionnaire mapping experience of the individuals in interpersonal relationships and their satisfaction with the change of the school community. Based on data analysis and interpretive methods, I conclude that social status is constructed in the earliest interactions between members and there is only a little variability. Social status is made up of two categories - relational skill, which is expressed by popularity, and social force, that is expressed by the ratio of power in the group. Competence complements these two categories, this is a specific skill and it's...
