Criminal protection and liability of public officials
Kostelanský, Ludvík ; Vokoun, Rudolf (advisor) ; Šámal, Pavel (referee)
The criminal protection and responsibility of persons in authority The topic of this thesis is the criminal protection and responsibility of persons in authority. Owing to the fact that since 1/1/2010 the new penal code has come into effect, the aim of this thesis is to analyse the new legislation of issues in question comprehensively, and to compare this new legislation to the protection and responsibility legislation of persons in authority, which was included in the preceding penal code. Primarily, my general interest in criminal law and also the awareness that particularly the definition of persons in authority was shifted, compared to the older definition of public agents, were the reasons for me to choose this topic. The reality of the person in authority definition shift unquestionably deserves attention and a proper analysis. The thesis is divided into five chapters which - as a whole - should provide a complex description of the criminal protection and responsibility of persons in authority. The first chapter deals with historical contexts of the criminal protection and the responsibility of persons in authority in our territory, refers to the main developmental turning points and tries to compare them to current legislations. The second chapter is focused on the analysis of defining a person in...

Criminal recidivism
Vejběrová, Andrea ; Císařová, Dagmar (advisor) ; Šámal, Pavel (referee) ; Kalvodová, Věra (referee)
The submitted work, as follows from its title, is concerned with criminal recidivism, in the first part primarily from a criminological perspective, while the second part of the work then deals particularly with the perspective of criminal law. As there has been a tendency to neglect recidivism in the professional literature in recent years, this work attempts to provide an overall summary of the subject of criminal recidivism while endeavouring to mention the most important aspects that are closely related to recidivism. Consequently, the introductory part of the work is devoted to a general delimitation of criminal recidivism and its various forms. The work attempts to make a basic excursion into this subject area while simultaneously endeavouring to evaluate the effectiveness of the commonest approaches employed in connection with criminal recidivism, primarily in relation to the current legislation in this country and abroad. In the context of foreign legislation and especially of the application of life sentences in the most serious cases of recidivism in some countries (including the former legislation in the Czech Republic) as obligatory punishment, considerable space is devoted here to the "three strikes law", which is applied primarily in the U.S.A. and, recently, also by our Slovak...

Deployment of SOFA 2 applications for embedded environment
Pastorek, Jaroslav ; Hnětynka, Petr (advisor) ; Malohlava, Michal (referee)
Development of applications for embedded devices is a daunting task particularly due to the diversity of used hardware. Technologies like Java ME attempt to provide unified programming model in the spirit of slogan "write once - run anywhere"; however the platform specifics still linger. Applications for embedded devices could therefore benefit from the use of component - based development where platform - specific parts can be separated into well - defined easily replaceable components. The goal of this thesis is to analyze the current deployment process for the component applications written using SOFA 2 component system and propose changes that would allow such applications to be deployed in Java ME environment, particularly CLDC configuration with MIDP profile. The proposed solution is based on transformation of SOFA 2 component application into MIDlet application. This transformation includes pregeneration of code for static instantiation of components which is normally done dynamically by interpreting component descriptions. The result of the transformation is standalone MIDlet package that contains all necessary code - this includes adjusted component runtime and components themselves. The development process of SOFA 2 applications is also adjusted to support new deployment process.

Communication in Multi-Agent Systems
Bosík, Andrej ; Štěpánek, Petr (advisor) ; Gregor, Petr (referee)
This thesis analyses the questions of communication between agents in MAS. Firstly, I tried to introduce a logic agents, particularly logic rational agents. For rational logic agents characterization I used LORA logic. I illustrated the syntax and the semantic of LORA. Then I concentrated on architecture MAS according to a FIPA specification. I used the JADE environment as implementation of this architecture. JADE is fully implemented in the JAVA language. I described how the communication between two JADE agents works and what form and parameters the messages according to the ACL language have. FIPA developed the ACL language for communication between agents. I described how agents use the protocols. JADE didn't contain any protocol for negotiation. That is why I integrated a new VETO protocol into JADE. This protocol can use all the JADE agents. In order to do it, I integrated new message parameters into JADE. This message parameters extend the ACL message parameters. For demonstration I implemented two classes in the JADE (one for the initiator and one for the responder) using a Veto protocol. Further, I described how new negotiation protocols could be add to JADE. For example I added to JADE another negotiation protocol, called NEGO. At last I used my new implemented ability to negotiation on...

The Cross in Changing of Times and its Significance in Ancient Society
Roule, Radek ; Lášek, Jan Blahoslav (advisor) ; Weis, Martin (referee) ; Royt, Jan (referee)
The Cross in Changing of Times and its Significance in Ancient Society The cross is the most widespread symbol appearing worldwide right from the prehistoric times. Though being formed of a very simple shape of two intersecting lines the significance is far reaching. This dissertation looks at the cross both as a sign pointing beyond itself and concentrates on the diversity of its visual appearance. It tries to trace back the possible factors preceding Antiquity influencing the formation of the actual shape in that particular period of history. Although for most part the cross is understood in its connection with the Crucifixion of Christ its history is far more complex beginning in pre-Christian era. The biblical texts present more or less mere allusions of the cross itself. Seen typologically the cross may be understood as the element connecting both Old and New Testament creating a sort of a bridge between them. The careful analysis of the Early Christian documents brings several terms used for the same reality. The most significant are - σταυρός with the Latin equivalent crux and ξύλου (wood) with the Latin equivalent lignum. Later on these give a way to a more general term of σημεῖον (sign) and finally to a symbolic expression "σύμβολον σωτηρίας" (sign-symbol of salvation). The early Christian writers...

Ethnic identity of a gypsy child in an adoptive family
El Mohammadi, Eliška ; Kasíková, Hana (referee) ; Kremličková, Marta (advisor)
The graduation thesis treats of the theme of ethnic identity of a Gypsy child in an adoptive family. The theoretical part of the thesis outlines the history of Czech Romanies and the framework of adoptive and foster care in the Czech Republic. The main chapter of the theoretical part discuss the question of identity, particularly ethnic identity and its formation. The empirical part discuss a research on formation of ethnic identity of an Gypsy Child in an adoptive family, realized by a questionnaire examination of adoptive and foster parents. The research consider the problems of the diversity of gypsy children, their origin or the importance of a contact with the original Gypsy community. One of the referenced questions is also the influence of racism upon the formation of ethnic identity.

Castles of Václav IV
Záruba, František ; Durdík, Tomáš (referee) ; Kuthan, Jiří (advisor)
This thesis deals with the castles of Wenceslas IV that he had built or markedly reconstructed for his own personal needs. I take a detailed look at 9 locations among which I place foremost the Old Royal Palace of Prague Castle, Vlašský dvůr (Wallachian Court), Žebrák Castle, Točník Castle, Nový hrad u Kunratic, Křivoklát Castle, Loket Castle, Králův dvůr na Starém městě pražském (Royal Court in Prague Old Town), and Hrádek na Zderaze Castle. These castles are considered to be the work of one castle construction works and attain very great artistic qualities. Most of them were built at the end of the 14th century between 1380 - 1400. This thesis deals with the relation of Wenceslas' castle works and the work of Petr Parléř and the building of the St. Vitus Cathedral, and one chapter deals with the castles of the court, particularly the Jenštejn and Krakovec castles.

Problem whole. Holistic concepts in environmental education
Dlouhá, Jana ; Kratochvíl, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Drozenová, Wendy (referee) ; Stibral, Karel (referee)
The work developed from exploring basic principles of environmental education that form and constitute this area as a distinct field of education: its human dimension, holistic approach, integrative, systems, complex and contextual character, its balancing, connective, ethical dimensions. Attention was focused on the concept of holism, and educational consequences of the holistic point of view, and also holistic approaches in specific disciplines. Areas of interest included methods of natural sciences, particularly where these sciences face methodological limitations, focus on complex features or attempts to unify fields of knowledge. Systems theories as well as definitions of interdisciplinarity were under consideration, as well as unifying concepts in ethics and pedagogy. Comparison of the holistic approach in these different contexts was made and the influence of the concept of the "whole" on the generation of meaning in different discourses was examined. Consequences for the pedagogical field were deduced. Here it was concluded that education (educere) as leading and supporting life motion, growth and development, is based on holistic knowledge that is in relationship with the world and needs continuous care. Education then has to lead not only to understanding of the "whole" of human life, but also of...

Beyond words: visual aspects in the work of Virginia Woolf
Šilpochová, Michaela ; Beran, Zdeněk (referee) ; Hilský, Martin (advisor)
Throughout her career Woolf was captivated by questions about the relationship between literature and painting, word and image. Her intense interest in the field of the visual arts was reflected in her development of a new literary method. Woolf's use of the visual arts in her writing largely transcends a mere decorative function. Her employment in her texts of visuality represents a significant stylistic innovation by means of which she rejects the conventional way of depicting reality and the descriptive realism of the nineteenth- century writers. In attempt to develop a modern way of writing, which would render reality more in accord with the modern sensibility, she employed in her texts principles underlying the contemporary theory and practice in the visual arts relying particularly on the aesthetics of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism. The principles of these two styles exist side by side and complement each other even in Woolf's later works which have been considered as predominantly post-impressionist. The objectives of Post- Impressionist art became known to Woolf through the theories of Roger Fry which turned out to be a major formative influence in the shift towards her new aesthetics.
