Müllerová, Vanda ; Václavů, Lubor (advisor) ; Zilynskyj, Bohdan (referee)
As it results from the title, the work is focused on the historical evolution of Ceska Kamenice in the period of years from 1945 to 1951. May 1945 seems to be the turning point of the further development of Ceska Kamenice. The German inhabitants, who had represented the majority population so far, were at once qualified as political unreliable and in light of important changes that were expected, discriminating regulations started to be carried out against them. In the meantime the Czech from various parts of the Republic began to come there. Some of them beholded their arrival just as an oportunity to feather their nests, but of course there were those too, who decided to stay and settle down in the town. They gained the national stewardship and started their new lives. However, some of the new settlers had to leave the town again because the stewardship was not always taken over by people who were the most competent and qualified. Assigning to this office as well as being resigned from, often became the demonstration of potencial power. The first months in Ceska Kamenice were accompanied by injustice and tyrany. Units of troops and guerrilla forces that settled in the town tyrannized both, Czech and German inhabitants and the endeavour to stop it was suppressed. These events were only revealed in 1947...

Prokop, Pavel ; Brejcha, Jan (advisor) ; Slavíček, Daniel (referee)
Semiotic Engineering is one of semiotic approaches to human-computer interaction problematics. Its theory is based on a simple notion of interface beeing a designers deputy through which the designer comunicates with users of this interface. Telling them, how to work with a program, he or she designed for them. Apart from teoretical foundation, semiotic engineering dispose also with research methods that can be used to evaluate a way an interface communicates with its users. This way it can compare with other non-semitic theories in this branch of research and thanks to its orientation to communication, it is even able to bring new points o wiev. Its theory and methods are used in this thesis as a basis for creation of a set of rules for user interface designers, that shoul serve them as guidelines for their thinking about interface. It turns out that semiotic theory is capable of bringing concerete results for praxis in the area of interaction design and it is not bound only to the academic enviroment.

In search of an equivocal country
Axmannová, Eliška ; Voldřichová - Beránková, Eva (advisor) ; Jamek, Václav (referee)
The present diploma thesis called In search of an equivocal country is devoted to the life and work of Victor-Lévy Beaulieu, a French Canadian (Quebecois) novelist. Beaulieu is an exceptional figure on the contemporary literary scene, especially because of his large scale project that he has been patiently pursuing for almost fifty years - the quest for a Quebecois epic and a hero that could save the nation from its loss of cultural identity. It is the 1978 trilogy Monsieur Melville that stands at the heart of the thesis. The eight hundred pages mosaic divided in three volumes might be mistaken for a simple biography of Herman Melville or for a critical analysis of his work. Nevertheless, it's to the art of literature that the text is devoted. Abel, writer and Beaulieu's alter-ego, is the narrator, while Melville assumes the role of an acolyte. Together, they undertake a voyage across New England and neighbouring waters in order for Abel to find strength enough to write the ultimate Book for Quebec. The thesis is made up by three main parts. Following a short introductory chapter concerned with Beaulieu's life and work and with his relation to the American literature, the focus is put on formal aspects of the trilogy. The first part of the thesis is called Monsieur Melville and postmodern inspiration and...

Hrachová, Hana ; Hojda, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Sulitková, Ludmila (referee) ; Ledvinka, Václav (referee)
In the early modern age the town of Rokycany belonged to the smaller towns with an economy characterized by crafts and agriculture. In the 16th century the city started to bloom remarkably.

The most important administrative institution of the town was the municipal council with legislative, jurisdictional and executive powers. The town's economies and the administration of the town's property belonged also to the duties of the council. The municipal council counted twelve counsellors; its most prestigious member was called primate. Every counsellor was in charge of the government of the town for the period of one month, during this period he used the title of burgomaster.

Putík, Daniel ; Pešek, Jiří (advisor) ; Švec, Luboš (referee)
ZUSAMMENFASSUNG Die vorliegende Magisterarbeit unter dem Titel "Auf dem Friedhof spielt man kein Theater. " - Öffentliche Kritik und Widerstand im Ghetto Wilna, 1941 - 194Ъ analysiert die Genese der Vereinigten Partisanerorganisation (Farejnikte partisaner organisatziye, FPO), der ersten organisierten jüdischen Widerstandsgruppe im Einflußbereich des Dritten Reiches, sowie die Formierung der organisierten Opposition gegen den Judenrat bzw. den Ghettovorsteher und Polizeichef in Wilna Jakov Gens. Kapitel II. (Wilna und die Juden) schildert die Geschichte der jüdischen Gemeinschaft vor dem deutschen Einmarsch im Juni 1941. Besonderes Augenmerk ist auf die der ideologischen Spaltung der Wilnaer Juden seit dem 19. Jahrhundert gelegt. Trotz des intensiven Terrors während der ersten sowjetischen Okkupation Litauens (1940 - 41) gelang es sowohl den zionistischen Jugendgruppen, der Ortsgruppe vom Bund (der nichtzionistischen, ,jidischistischen" sozialdemokratischen Partei) als auch den religiösen Strukturen, bis hin in die Zeit der Ghettoisierung zu überleben. Kapitel III. (Der blutige Sommer) widmet sich dem Zeitabschnitt zwischen der deutschen Besetzung der litauischen Hauptstadt am 24. Juni 1941 und der Ghettoisierung ihrer jüdischer Einwohner, die am 1. September durchgeführt wurde. Ich habe mich auf den...

The Choral and Cantata Compositions of Jan Dismas Zelenka in the Contex of Czech Music Emigration in the First Half of the 18th Century
Paličková, Jitka ; Stříteská, Leona (referee) ; Pecháček, Stanislav (advisor)
This thesis deals with work and life of Jan Dismas Zelenka and with Czech emigration of the first half of the 18th century as a specific part of Czech musical history as well as social history. In the first two chapters I tried to outline the development of musical production in Europe in the first half of the 18th century on the settings of political, ideological and social events. I focused on the same problems in the third chapter, but this time only within the Czech countries. The whole fourth chapter deals with Jan Dismas Zelenka's life and work. Zelenka was one of the eminent representative of the Czech music emigration of the first half of the 18th century in Dresden. I tried to show a full illustration of Zelenka's life and portrayal of his vocal and vocal-instrumental heritage. The examples provided can help to understand the musical expressions of the period that Zelenka used to express onomatopoeia.

Giuliani's Zero Tolerance Policy and Its Effectiveness
Tršová, Andrea ; Kozák, Kryštof (advisor) ; Calda, Miloš (referee)
The topic of this thesis is the zero tolerance policing which was established in New York in the second half of the 1990s. Authors of this police approach were New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and Police Commissioner William Bratton. They took their offices in 1994, when there were very high crime rates in New York. Crime rates increased mainly in the 1980s but the situation was still very serious in the beginning of the 1990s. Under Bratton, who had a political support from mayor Giuliani, the New York Police Department adopted a strict law enforcement strategy, which is also called the zero tolerance. In the following years the crime rates went down indeed, and Giuliani and Bratton claimed credit for this crime drop. However, a lot of criticism of their police approach appeared soon and many studies explained falling crime rates as a result of other factors. This paper focuses on the description of changes that took place in the New York Police Department and on the discussion about factors that might have caused the crime drop. The purpose of this paper it to explain what the zero tolerance policing is, to analyze different factors that might have had caused declining of crime rates and to consider the effect of zero tolerance on crime rates.
