Finding of students´ motivation
KŮSOVÁ, Markéta
This disertation includes two parts. In the first part, terms that are frequently used in the subject of motivation at school, are specified. In the second part of this disertation the development and characteristics of the On-line motivation questionnaire by Boekaerts are introduced. We agree with Boekaerts that the best way, how to establish the feelings of students, is to give them familiar activities and ask them to give information about their cognitions and feelings during their work on the task. The studies support the conclusion that the On-line motivation questionnaire is an experience-sampling method that can reliably find out students´ cognitions and feelings in relation to specific learning task, without disturbing the student´s attention to the task. The On-line motivation questionnaire can open new ways how to study motivation in the classroom. This questionnaire can play a significant role in gaining information about the various reasons, why the students do not want to invest effort to the task in the classroom. The On-line motivation questionnaire can also provide information about the effects that influence the student´s feelings, their engagement in the task and wellbeing in the classroom. According to submission, the czech version of the On-line motivation questionnaire is ready for testing in our conditions

The role of the beholder in ekphrasis
Fedrová, Stanislava
The status of the beholder, whether through the physical process of looking or his existential experience, is a principal formative element in ekphrastic texts. This study defines three possible approaches: in the first the beholder is like a character in a fictional world and at the same time a visual representation. This character is part of the story, so this version of ekphrasis is formed by the role played in the story. The second type is the character as a mediator of the world of visual experience. As the viewer sinks into the depths of the image by means of a Rückenfigur which has already entered it, this beholder is a mediator in ekphrasis, thanks to whom the reader acquires the perspective of a joint beholder. The third type, the beholder as interpreter, points to the basic techniques for the formation of ekphrasis: correlativization with another visual representation or pictorial model, the grounding of the narrative plain and associative play with the form of the observed.

Film Cooperative, Version 2.0: Searching for the Form
Reichová, Tereza ; Felcman, Jakub (advisor) ; KUBICA, Petr (referee)
This thesis with the sumptuous working title Film Cooperative, Version 2.0 is the result of my two-year background research for the purpose of establishing a cooperative entity. I proceed from the generally positive perception of present cooperativism abroad but I apply my research on the specific situation in the Czech Republic. Although it is marked by a rich cooperative history during the so called “First Republic,” the current approach to the cooperativist model is rather negative particularly due to the adverse role that collectivization played in the second half of the 20th century.
Therefore I focus on cases from the Czech context, both from the past and present. Since film cooperativism has not yet taken roots in our country, we would be its pioneers. In my work I therefore look for past and present models from other sectors that could help stimulate it. I conclude my thesis by inspiration from alternative models of thinking about the world where finance is not the driving model but a carrier into a better world.

Art, architecture and design in the space age
Wollner, Jan ; Lahoda, Vojtěch (advisor) ; Hubatová - Vacková, Lada (referee)
Cosmic inspiration influenced huge amount of different artistic material. It was the only one topic, which went through categories such as high art and popular culture, fine and applied arts, all the medias, official and independent production, state ideology and interest of common man. Thesis tries to go through these categories high and low, fine and applied, official and independent. It divils its material into thematic chapters to achieve this goal. First of them Expand your mind deals with projects of visionary architecture, which does not try to create new "cosmic" kapes but expand - with Marshall McLuhan -man's mind and senses. Then Gravitationless state describes petting loose of Earth as principal feeling of space age. Peace and Freedom play role of contradictory ideological terms to fights between politicians, artists and spaceships. How Does Space Look Like is a question for representation of cosmic topics between abstraction and realism ant the last charter Space for Children does not show reduced version of space for children but "adult" ideological construction of connection between the youngest generation and future in space. Individual chapters are preceded by theoretical introductin The World Where We Will Live Tommorow and The Word We Live In. It is a confrontation of...

ANALÝZA ŽENSKÝCH POSTAV V HRÁCH TENNESSEE WILLIAMSE (V DIVADELNÍCH I FILMOVÝCH VERZÍCH)
REJLKOVÁ, Dita
This diploma thesis deals with the women characters in five plays of Tennessee Williams and their visualisation in the film versions. Focusing on interpretation of women characters, particularly Southern women, the amount of secondary literature is limited. The analysis focuses on the role of woman in the society, her motives and her social interaction with other characters in the play. These roles had come to undergo a transformation in the middle of the twentieth century. The film versions of the plays offer another significant view and ways of other analysis of the characters. Personal conflicts, human desires and fears as well as social taboos are decribed and analysed. The questions of sexuality, motherhood, personal success or psychological diorders accompanies the women characters in the dramas of Tennesse Williams.

John Millington Synge and Irish mythology - Deirdre of the sorrows
Pecovová, Petra ; Wallace, Clare (referee) ; Pilný, Ondřej (advisor)
This thesis is focused on the relationship between the mythological tale of Deirdre and John Millington Synge's play Deirdre of the Sorrows. It concentrates primarily on features, such as characters, themes and motives, which distinguish Synge's Deirdre from the previous versions of the tale. The first part lists all the versions that are echoed in Synge's play, which include the 12th century version from the Book of Leinster, the medieval version from the Glenmasan Manuscript and the versions by Synge's fellow writers and dramatists from the Abbey Theatre. It briefly outlines similarities and contradictions between the earlier versions and Synge's approach. The second chapter deals with the role of fate, its representation in the different texts, and how it affects the central themes and motives in the tale. The last part of the thesis analyzes female protagonist and questions her role as a heroine. The aim of this work is primarily to show that portraying realism was essential to Synge, even when dealing with a legend that is comprised of the exact opposite. The most important passages of the thesis are those which uncover the conflicting representations of characters and motives, because they indicate that Synge's fusion of the heroic and peasant world was not successful. Even though he managed to...

Geometric Brownian motion in Hilbert space
Bártek, Jan ; Beneš, Viktor (referee) ; Maslowski, Bohdan (advisor)
The present work describes the relation between solutions of a special kind of nonlinear stochastic partial differential equation with multiplicative noise, driven by fractional Brownian motion (fBm), and the solutions of deterministic version of this equation. Solution of the stochastic equation is given explicitly by means of solution to the deterministic equation and trajectories of fBm. The geometric fractional Brownian motion plays an important role here. The solutions are considered both in strong and weak sense. Stochastic integral wrt. fBm with Hurst index H can be defined in various ways. Here we consider a Stratonovich type integral for H > 1/2. The results obtained are used for the study of properties of solution of stochastic porous media equation - the expected value of total mass of the solution and the long-time behaviour of the solution.

Contribution to the study of British diplomacy in the Middle East during the WWI
Hilbertová, Denisa ; Kovář, Martin (advisor) ; Tumis, Stanislav (referee)
This bachelor thesis focuses on the analysis of the basic premises of British diplomacy in the Middle East before and during the First World War. For a long time, The Middle East was an arena in which Britain fought to shield the road to India from France and Russia, this struggle came to be known as "The Great Game". The Middle East emerged from decisions made by the Allies during and after WW I. British officials who played a major role in making these decisions provided a version of events that was, at best, edited. They pretended they were patrons of Arab independence in the Middle East while promising land which was not theirs to the Jews who hoped to create a new Jewish state in Palestine. All decisions made during war have created the beginnings of the modern Middle East.

The ethnolinguistic aspects of the latest religious development in Mongolia
Jiráková, Edita ; Luvsandorj, Jugder (advisor) ; Zikmundová, Veronika (referee) ; Bělka, Luboš (referee)
Since the collapse of the communist regime in Mongolia in the beginning of 1990, the country opened itself to external world in many various aspects. In this respect, the Christian missionaries became one of the most visible signs of the process of democratization. However, linguistic problems associated with the newly introduced Christian terminology started to play a decisive role soon. During the 90's of the 20th century several Mongolian Versions of New Testament were published, from which the translation made by the Mongolian Bible Translation Committee and another one by J. Gibbens' team are of the greatest importance. These versions are far from having any connection to each other , thus completely dissimilar terminology is applied in both of them. It is my intention through this thesis, to deal with the problems of disunity of the key Biblical vocabulary in the present day Mongolian language. With respect to comprehensiveness, I describe briefly the resent state or level of the spread of Christian teaching in the country, where data collected within my field research undertaken in three phases between 1997 and 2002 are used. Considering a cultural and geographical connections, the problems of Christian terminology in China are also mentioned. 1t is then possible on this basis to make an overview and...
