Svejkovský, Ivo ; Boučková, Jana (advisor) ; Tomek, Gustav (referee) ; Horáková, Helena (referee)
The dissertation deals with the issue of the corporate identity of the Academy of Sciences of the CR (ASCR). Through secondary and primary qualitative and quantitative research projects, the corporate identity of the ASCR is analysed in the internal and external milieus of the institution, in the European Area generally and also in comparison with Great Britain. The main aim of the dissertation is the proposal of a model of the corporate identity of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic with a focus on the area of science popularisation and communication, namely for the purpose of improving the image of the ASCR and increasing the awareness of the general beneficial effect of science and research among the lay and specialised public in the Czech Republic. The proposal of the model is elaborated on its theoretical bases utilising background materials arising from the research projects conducted. The enrichment of the Czech scientific milieu by a deeper view into the general issue and an investigation of corporate identity in the CR and globally can be considered as the contribution of the dissertation in the area of the theory of marketing. The theoretical contribution of the work is also the proposal of a model of corporate identity for the ASCR and the other scientific-research institutions with a similar focus. The practical contribution of the dissertation is the possible utilisation of the proposed model of the corporate identity of the ASCR at the Academy of Sciences of the CR, at the scientific workplaces of the ASCR and at the other scientific-research institutions of a similar focus in the CR and around the world.

Uličná, Klára
Intercultural Communicative Competence ICC Development in Student Teachers of English Language Abstract: The aim of this dissertation is to assess the development of intercultural communicative competence in student teachers of English language within a study subject Intercultural Communicative Competence taught at the Department of English and American Studies at the University of Pardubice. Firstly, the terminology to be used throughout the text is defined. Consequently, relevant theoretical foundations are introduced, especially philosophical foundations as well as foundations in linguistics and foreign language didactics. These indicate the position from which we approach the discussed phenomenon, i.e. interculturality that in the current globalized world poses new demands not only on pedagogical practice, but on research too. In the subsequent part of the dissertation focus lies on intercultural education, the key aim of which is defined as development of intercultural communicative competence. Current trends in intercultural education are discussed with accent on the specifics of English language teaching and learning. The core of the theoretical part of this work aims to conceptualize the construct of intercultural communicative competence and to elaborate on its consequent didactic aspects, i.e. its...

Variability of Execution Environments for Component-based Systems
Malohlava, Michal ; Bureš, Tomáš (advisor) ; Racek, Stanislav (referee) ; Duchien, Laurence (referee)
Reuse is considered as one of the most crucial software engineering concerns. It allows for delivering software systems faster with less effort. Therefore, the thesis explores limits of reuse in the context of component systems. It analyzes in depth contemporary component systems, finds their commonalities and variation points, and introduces a meta-component system -- a software product line which allows for producing a tailored component system based on a set of requirements. The thesis addresses the meta-component system definition and focuses on its crucial aspects which play the key role in component systems preparation- (1) a configurable execution environment and (2) generation of implementation artifacts. To address the first aspect, the thesis proposes a model-driven method for creating configurable execution environments. Motivated by creating execution environments, the thesis contributes to (2) by introducing a notion of domain-specific languages interoperability in the context of the code generation. Furthermore, the thesis elaborates the proposed notion resulting into a family of interoperable domain-specific languages which is parametrized by a general purpose language.

The introduction to the bronze studies in Cambodia
Seang, Rosath ; Popelka, Miroslav (advisor) ; Bláhová, Zuzana (referee)
AJ The work is paid to the study of the Bronze Age in the territory of Cambodia. This period is dated from the year 4000. Study of the Bronze Age in Cambodia, located in the lowlands in Southeast Asia, has long been influenced by the fact that the country was in the years 1865 - 1953 French colony. And yet they were the first archaeological excavations of prehistoric loklait made in Cambodia earlier than in other countries in East and Southeast Asia. Representative of the French protectorate in Cambodia Lieutenant Jean Moura, led by a focus on prehistoric monuments, won the research in 1864, stone tools at the site near the river Samrong Sen Chinita. The findings were later moved to study in France. Samrong Sen and the location was again examined in the years 1878-1879. This was practically initiated the study of the Bronze Age in Cambodia. The present study deals with a detailed description of the geography of Cambodia, the composition of the population, society, religion and language peculiarities. The basis of the work is characteristic of the major archaeological sites of the Bronze Age, classifications and technical analysis finds of bronze objects. The work can be seen as a first overview study of the Bronze Age in the territory of Cambodia.

Systems of Formal Models with Applications
Čermák, Martin ; Lukáš, Roman (referee) ; Meduna, Alexandr (advisor)
This paper introduces and discusses automata systems as a new way for formal languages processing. In the text there are four models described. The first model works on sequential mode. At one computation step only one of components works. The second one works on semi-parallel mode. At the one computation step either one or all the components of the automata system work. In the last two models each component of the automata system has its own input string. The computation step of each component is influenced by their states, or used rules. The state, or used rule of the components of automata system can block or unblock some or all automata of the system.

Comics of the Czech magazine Ohníček in the period of 1968-71: semiotic analysis
Řezníková, Ivana ; Šoltys, Otakar (advisor) ; Klabíková Rábová, Tereza (referee)
The topic of the thesis is the genre of comics in the Czech magazine Ohníček during the early period of normalization: the text is based on a detailed analysis of eleven comics that were published in the magazine between years 1968-71 (season 19-21). As far as the genre criteria are concerned, the analysed comics came closer to adventurous stories that were very popular in the 60/70s. At the same time, the original visual expression changed so that it was more suitable to child readers. Three of the analysed comics are comic series where the particular episodes are connected to each other by an adventurous narrative storyline. The eight others are comic strips with the narrative type of gag or fable. When examining the particular comics, the focus was on several aspects: the use of language, visual expression, story articulation and specific distinctive aspects. Differences in those aspects made the comics mutually different and deviating from the classics of genre. Both the graphic form and the story line of the analysed comics were determined by the fact that they were published in a children magazine. As results of the analysis, hero types and the resemblance of the fiction world according to the narrative type are descript and a comparison with European and American comics tradition is given.

Stress related to nurturing children with special needs
TOMÁŠKOVÁ, Zuzana
Birth of a disabled child is always an extraordinary event in our life. A family is facing the situation without a prearranged screenplay. Not only the special needs differ from common children´s needs but also developmental conditions are completely different. Parents can feel disappointed and dependent on the assistance from others.The situation is new and unfamiliar for them and therefore they learn how to improve the approach to their child, themselves or the whole world. The theme ot this thesis is ?How parents manage to bring up the child with special needs..?It should bring authentic information about the situation of parents with a disabled child, statements about their problems and needs. It is based on the qualitative research. I collected data and information through semi-structured interviews with parents who have a child with such a special need. In the theoretical part of the thesis I tried to go from a general explanation to a detailed descriptoin of the topic. In the introductory chapters I deal with the issue of stress and burden coping. The next issue is the family, its function, families with disabled children and last but not least inappropriate educational approaches. The chapter about burden coping is an integral part of this thesis. Here I describe individual phases of accepting a disabled child and mention the topic of a social stigma as well. The fourth chapter is about the possibility how to support such affected families not only from the familly members but also from other friends. The last but one chapter describes the burnout, its symptoms and risk factors. A mother usually stays at home with this child and takes care of him. The disabled child might require full-time care which is very demanding and grueling. That is why the mother could be compromised by the burnout. In the last part I tried to specify problems of the families I interviewed. I describe a spinal muscular atrophy, an epilepsy, a mental retardation and its classification, a motor disability for example poliomyelitis. In the empirical part of the thesis I define research objectives. 1) to find out what is the biggest burden for parents with a disabled child 2) to find out how parents manage to accept this situation 3) to find out what is the biggest support for parents You can find the responses in the part ?Interpretation of research results?. The largest burden for parents with a disabled child is to accept the disability of their child. All the respondents find this period as the most distressing and demanding time in their child care. Surprisingly, the second largest burden of parents is to handle with different specialized institutions which are supposed to help them. The respondents found the biggest help and support in their families, husbands and also by communication with other similar families . According to parents there is a lack of written information about the disability and unsufficient availability of such information in Czech language.
