Rejžková, Jana ; Uherek, Zdeněk (referee) ; Červenka, Jan (advisor)
This study deals with several aspects of the construction of Romani identity. It is focused on ways of the Romani identity construction and its bases. Romani identity is conceived as a relation of Roma to their neighboring Romani or non-Romani groups, which is based on the perception of socially significant cultural differences. The paper considers common cultural elements that serve as bases for construction of particular Romany identities, as well as concrete examples of Romani communities and their specific manners of romanipen construction. The study also deals with the relation between culture and ethnic identity and their variability in time. It answers the question, if due to changes in Romani culture the Romani identity disappears gradually or persists. By two interviews with young Roma living in Prague, the paper shows a current form of Romani identity within present urban society.

The transformation of spirituality in the area of Russia between the 11th and 12th centuries
Hrazdírová, Jana ; Svatoň, Vladimír (advisor) ; Milko, Pavel (referee)
Křesťanství se pro schopnost sjednotit rozdrobené kmeny východních Slovanů v pevnější svazek stalo jedním z pilířů formování raně feudálního státu XL-XILstoletí. Proces christianizace byl velice zdlouhavý a o plné evangelizaci ruského národa lze hovořit až v době tatarské nadvlády, kdy napomohlo odolat síle cizích nájezdníků. Tradice národů, které obývaly území pozdější Kyjevské Rusi a vliv přilehlých významných starokřesťanských středisek zanechaly na raném křesťanství východních Slovanů svůj vliv. Byly to misie antiochijského patriarchátu, vycházející z tradic helenizovaného židovství, které christianizovaly nejstarší církevní sbory v oblasti. Arménská a gruzínská církev a na jihu církev gótská tuto tradici uchovaly pro mladší církevní sbory. Významná byla přítomnost palestinské formy askeze, která se zde později utvrdila rovněž vlivem athoské-palestinské askeze mezi pečerskými monachy. Církev se vyrovnávala s hluboce zakořeněnou vírou pohanů, přičemž do sebe křesťanství na Rusi některé prvky slovanského pohanského kultu přejalo. Sklon konkretizovat křesťanská dogmata a vytvářet obrazné formy podání křesťanského učení byl charakteristickým rysem raných forem ruského křesťanství. Výběr bohosloveckých systémů uvnitř křesťanství byl pohanstvím rovněž ovlivněn. Docházelo proto ke střetům s řeckým klérem,...

Fantasy and Science-fiction in Novels for Children using German Texts, Working with a Literary Text with Children for Teaching
Sánchezová, Karmen ; Bučková, Tamara (advisor) ; Švermová, Dagmar (referee)
Diese Diplomarbeit besteht aus zwei Teilen, aus dem Theoretischen und aus dem Praktischen. Das Thema der Arbeit lautet Zu den phantastischen und sci-fi Motiven im modernen Kinderroman an den Beispielen des deutschsprachigen Schaffens. Im ersten Teil setze ich mich mit der Tatsache auseinander, ob Anwendung von diesen Motiven eine große Role für die Beliebtheit der Texte spielt, in denen sie benutzt werden. Dann beschäftige ich mich auch damit wie diese Motive von den Kindern wahrgenommen und interpretiert werden. Zuletzt habe ich mir auch die Frage gestellt, wie Texte die diese Motiven beinhalten Kinder im alletäglichen Leben beeinflussen. Das Interessante an diesen Motiven ist vor allem das, dass sie in allen Genrevarianten der Kinderprosa Vorkommen. Sie verursachen in den Texten sogenannte leere Stellen, die dann zur Polyvalenz der Texte fuhren. Deswegen sind diese Texte nicht nur für Kinder sondern auch für Erwachsene interessant. So nähert sich die Kinderliteratur der Allgemeinen. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Pozornost je věnována i některým typům útoků, které mohou být proti šifrám vedeny. Práce se také věnuje možnostem bezpečné identifikace uživatelů. Jsou popsána statická hesla, jednorázová hesla, klientské certifikáty a systémy založené na principu challenge-response. Analyzována je jejich vhodnost a odolnost proti praktikám typu ?Phishing?, ?Pharming?, ?Vishing? nebo útok typu ?Man in the middle?. Zmíněno je i dodatečné zabezpečení prováděných transakcí. ?Bezpečnostní politika jednotlivce? doporučuje pravidla, která by měl dodržovat každý zodpovědný klient. Naznačeny jsou i technologie, které by podstatně zvýšily ochranu před neoprávněným vniknutím do systému a které by také umožnily odhalení podvodných transakcí v reálném čase.

The Influence of European Central Bank Interest Rates upon Consumption in Eurozone Countries
Glykner, Daniel ; Mandel, Martin (advisor) ; Chytilová, Helena (referee)
First, this paper presents basic definitions of the consumption function and gives a summary of main theoretical concepts of consumption as well as an overview and discussion of important papers on consumption. Above all, papers examining the influence of the interest rate upon consumption are accented. Furthermore it contains a brief context summary of current and potential eurozone members, work of the ECB and execution of common monetary policy. Subsequently we discuss the hypothesis of a possibly asymmetric impact of the interest rate upon consumption in individual countries, expand and justify the hypothesis based on indebtedness, wealth, etc. Empirically, hypotheses are tested on historical data of individual countries: transmission between interest rates of central banks (later the ECB) and market interest rates, correlation analysis of consumption changes and central interest rates in individual countries, correlations with year-on-year changes. Also, consumption functions are estimated using time series models while testing alternative variables in the regression equations. We discuss analysis results and methods used; the influence of the interest rate upon consumption seems to be small and the relationship type is not much different across the eurozone countries. Eventually, we outline possible implications of our results with respect to the future of the eurozone and related activity of the ECB.
