Janováč, Adam ; Honusková, Věra (referee) ; Šturma, Pavel (advisor)
56 V. Resume The purpose of this thesis was to define the term refugee in context of international law. It divides into two main parts - historical focus and contemporary application due to Convention relating to the status of refugees.

But it survived for more than 50 years with the only substantive change. Question remains - is it a good news for refugees in modern word. Problem caused by refugees became imanent after the world war with huge waves of migration in Europe due to changes in worldwide order. First came in early twentees from Russia caused by incoming sovetian regime, soon followed by Armenian refugees and other groups of migrants, mostly of asian origin.

(De)regulation of the taxiservice
Páchová, Markéta ; Munzi, Tomáš (advisor) ; Zemplinerová, Alena (referee)
This thesis is focused on taxi service, which is one of the most regulated services in a modern society. State intervenes into this branch not only by barriers of entry but also by price regulation. I try to take a think if the state intervention is the best solution for its effective function. As the theoretical ground of my investigation I used the general theories of regulation and findings of foreign studies that deal with this market. As the specific example I used the market of taxi service in Prague, which has not been enjoying a good reputation. I try to map its situation and judge the regulation imposed on it. I target the price regulation which has been established since 1991. I sketch the main impacts of price deregulation and the other solution of contemporary situation.

The frontier between old and new: city and Czech culture of early modernism
Urbanová, Marie ; Uherek, Zdeněk (referee) ; Czumalo, Vladimír (advisor)
Předkládám k obhajobě diplomovou práci věnovanou tématu utváření veřejného prostoru, městského prostoru a městotvorné funkce architektury na přelomu 19. a 20.století. Celkový náhled, kterým tato témata spojuji, chce být především kulturologický. 4 Svou práci bych rozdělila do čtyř částí. V prvních dvou částech vymezuji tématické pole práce námi sledovanými pojmy, kategoriemi a problémy. Jsou jimi pojem veřejný prostor, místo, prostor a čas, kategorie moderny, existenciální prostor a v neposlední řadě fenomén města, který je pro nás reprezentací kulturní a civilizační. V tomto zaměření nelze odhlédnout od diskursu těchto témat - a ten je i v textech teorie architektury filozofický. Třetí část mé práce je inspirována mou postupovou prací, ve které jsem se zajímala o meziválečné období, o dobu, která mě dodnes nesmírně fascinuje. Je to exkurz do dění užitého umění ve světě, ale především u nás. S užitým uměním byla v těsném semknutí architektura, která zaujímá přední místo ve čtvrtém dílu této práce. Hlavním předmětem je zde (české) město, jeho proměny ve 20.stoletÍ. V posledních kapitolách se snažím o nástin a komparaci sociokulturní situace architektury a architektů na počátku 20. a 21.století.

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.
