NEWSPAPER OF TESIN (analysis of the sixth year of the edition)
Franková, Barbora ; Zilynskyj, Bohdan (advisor) ; Hnilica, Jiří (referee)
In my dissertation I focused on the sample analysis of the sixth year of the edition of the Noviny Těšínské (the Newspaper of Tesin) which had been published from December 1899 to the end of November 1900 and how the newspaper reflected events and relationships not only in the region of Tesin, but also outside of it. The core of my dissertation are relationships among three national communities living together in the region at that time-the Czechs, Poles and Germans (one of the chapters also monitors the Jewish religion community and the local people's attitude to it). Reciprocal conflicts among the above mentioned national communities appeared in all areas of everyday life - in education, economy, language, matters, politics, in the relationship to the monarchy and also to events happening in the world. The region of the Tesin was a part of one of the Crown lands - Silesia. In spite of that fact the newspaper wasn't restricted only to the events from this Crown land but also the information from other territory of the Czech Crown kingdom, news from the Austrian-Hungary Empire and even from all the world can be met there. Reading up the sixth year of the Noviny Tešínské edition leads to the formation of a compacted idea how the newspaper's authors and all population in this region percepted the situation...

Insurance as one of operational risk management tool
Suchánková, Lucie ; Rippel, Milan (advisor) ; Kubíček, Martin (referee)
Operational risk has recently become one of the key issues in financial institutions - there have been two main reasons for development of operational risk. First, there was the explicit incorporation of operational risk in the document called Basel II; second, there have been high losses from operational loss events. The insurance as one of operational risk's tool is the main point of the diploma thesis. In theoretical part, this tool is analyzed in relation to the operational risk (the insurability of operational risk, the main characteristic of insurance, the obstacles in the usage of this tool, its relation to capital and capital adequacy, benefits and negatives of this tool). In practical part, the use of insurance as operational risk management tool in one Central European bank is analyzed in order to find some relation to operation risk parameters as risk categories, business lines, gross loss etc. The identification of risk areas in bank was done as well. The main reason of this identification is finding whether the most risk areas are managed by this tool. The analysis should confirm or refute the hypothesis that insurance is relevant factor in operational risk management - whether it has positive influence on reduction of risk exposition or whether it is only formal tool.

The variation of the Andalusian dialect in Málaga, Spain
Rážová, Renata ; Zavadil, Bohumil (referee) ; Čermák, Petr (advisor)
Andalusian Spanish represents one of the main topics that experts in the area of Spanish dialectology have been dealing with for a long time. The geographical diversity of Andalusia is reflected in the local speaking and these terms may now also be used in the linguistic area. Therefore, based on the aforementioned diversity, this paper often references not just one Andalusian Spanish variation, but many. From this broad spectrum, we particularly chose one concurrent Andalusian variation, i.e. the version of Málaga, and we try to describe it from both a lexical and audial point of view. These are the two perspectives from which we see the main features of the types of Andalusian Spanish that may be distinguished. Before we documented the specific description for its individual phenomenon and features from an audial point of view, we asked the question as to what should actually be sought under the term "Andalusia" and "Andalusian Spanish" and what is hidden behind these terms. What does the indescribable and, in the often mentioned professional handbooks "Andalusian" - "lo andaluz" really mean? In answer to this question, we pointed out specifically the socio-linguistic aspects, cultural and historical events and social awareness of the Andalusians of the rareness and peculiarity of this region, its...
