Landová, Adéla ; Klinka, Tomáš (advisor) ; Machleidtová, Silva (referee)
Title of the thesis: The history and the present of Algeria and the development of the French language Keywords: Algeria, arabization, Arabian, Berber, French language, history, colonization, Maghreb, nationalism, independency, present, education Abstract: Algeria, the second largest country in Africa, is a part of an area called Maghreb. As well as other Maghreb countries, also Algeria has been influenced by the French colonization in the beginning of the 19th century. Not only did the colonization change the Algerian community, it mainly resulted in the introduction of the French language which is used in Algeria till this day. The target of this bachelor thesis is to outline the history and the present of this country, the development of the French and other languages such as Arabian and Berber, and also to comment on the development of the education system in Algeria. This bachelor thesis is divided into three main chapters that are chronologically arranged and that start with studying the history of Algeria. After that, they deal with the question of language in each particular historical period. The first chapter describes Maghreb from its furthest history up to the French colonization. The second chapter aims at the period of the French supremacy in Algeria and the last one chapter studies...

Rokczaner family of Prague's Old Town. From councillors to knights
Chmátal, Jonáš ; Žemlička, Josef (advisor) ; Musílek, Martin (referee)
This bachelor's thesis is focused on Rockzaner family, one significant patrician family of Prague's Old Town. The goal of this thesis is to bring wide biographical description of this family. Similiar biography already exists but just as a part of monumental work of Vaclav Vladivoj Tomek from 70's of 19th century. That is why I am persuaded that such biography should be rewriten to better suit modern historical science. Another goal is to prove that topic of prague's patrician families is not exhausted and there is still a plenty of free space for a research to be done. Next to biographical description this thesis also contains one chapter devoted to Rockzaner's rural estates and its's problematic. As for my opinion this biography should stand as a basis for future research of Rockzaner family and their's economical and social activities. Keywords: Old Town of Prague, patrician, Okor castle, knight, Rockzaner, medieval, medieval city, citizen, location, 14th century, colonization, money loans, rural estates, city council

The Comparison of the Traditional Material Transport in the Mountain Economy of the Krkonoše and Šumava Mountains
Smrčka, Aleš ; Pargač, Jan (advisor) ; Dědovský, Daniel (referee)
This thesis The Comparison of the Traditional Material Transport in the Mountain Economy of the Krkonoše and Šumava Mountains introduces the traditional forms of material and goods transport in the Krkonoše Mountains (the Giant Mountains) and the Šumava Mountains (the Bohemian Forest). The way of life in the highland area of Giant Mountains was significantly affected by the Alpine colonization in the second half of the 16th century. The Alpine colonists brought knowledge of logging, mountain economy and transport equipment into the mountains. Inhabitants of the Giant Mountains used water power, skids, later sledge called "rohacky" for bundles of wood. They also used backpacks, textile "loktuse", baskets, wheeled means of transportation and animal skid for the transport of other goods and materials. The comparison shows that the Bohemian Forest unlike the Giant Mountains was populated by gradual colonization of woodmen from the surrounding regions. Various forms of traditional vehicles were applied in this area. Unlike the Giant Mountains there was increasingly developed timber transport on the canals and rivers. The thesis maps the traditional modes of material transport in both regions, highlightes their differences and records their transformation in the present. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Song divergence of Philippine bulbuls (Pycnonotidae) on islands
Rulfová, Alena ; Policht, Richard (advisor) ; Turčoková, Lucia (referee)
Bulbuls (Pycnonotidae) are a biologically diverse group of songbirds that produce a variety of vocalisations. Their songs are very audible, yet the vocal behaviour of the majority of bulbul species has not been formally described or subject to bioacoustical study. The Philippine bulbul (Ixos philippinus) is a sedentary and endemic species of the Philippine archipelago. This thesis presents the first detailed descriptions of its song. The songs were recorded on five islands locations that covered eight different habitats. Nine song features of these species were compared, in order to understand song variations between different islands. In searching for correlations, habitat types and geographical distances between the islands were also measured. The songs of the species found on five islands were readily split up into three groups based on end frequency, syllable number and song duration. The correlations possibly relate to a late Pleistocene connection between the islands and colonization routes of the species. It was found that song frequency parameters in bulbul species is primarily affected by habitat, whilst the effect of current distances between islands was shown to be weak.

Caring for patients colonized with resistant microbial strains
Poláková, Stanislava ; Heczková, Jana (advisor) ; Novotná, Jindra (referee)
This thesis is focused on the complex nursing care of patients colonized with the resistant microbial strains. In the theoretical section I describe the major events of the history, the current issue of the antibiotic treatment and the species of occurring resistant strains of microbes. It also deals with recommended procedures in the care for these patients, such as patient isolation, use of the protective equipment, handling of the biological material , individualization of the aids, handling of the linen and the principles of health care. It also includes preventing the spread of disease resistant strains of the microorganisms and patient recolonization. The empirical part consists of the quantitative research conducted at the University Hospital in Pilsen with the help of a questionnaire survey. The questionnaires will be distributed to the nurses in intensive care units without the single - patient box system. The aim of the research is to determine nurses' knowledge of the disease resistant microbial strains and the ways they create patient isolation. Evaluation questionnaires will provide the pieces of information to compare the individual practices and knowledge of nurses in intensive care units. Results of this work can be used as a source of information or the study material. The benefit...

Medieval settlement in the Podbořany region (NW Bohemia)
Peksa, Vojtěch ; Klápště, Jan (advisor) ; Velímský, Tomáš (referee)
The present work is focused on the medieval settlement in Podbořany region (Czech Republic), seemingly marginal but extremely interesting territory for the progress of knowledge of the medieval settlement development in north-western Bohemia. I emphasised mainly to the transition period between early and high middle Ages called the medieval transformation. The main aim of the study was to capture the main settlement changes and to integrate them to the wider context of this part of Bohemia. The basic source of the data represented Catalogue of archaeological finds. These records were enriched with the outline of the regional archaeological chronology as well as with the data from several landscape probes which tried to achieve a comprehensive and detailed reconstruction of the medieval settlement image Written documents as well as cartographic sources were used to capture developmental tendencies. Keywords The Middle Ages, Podbořany region, archaeology, medieval transformation, history of settlement, landscape probe

Lords of Valdek and their residences up to first half of 14th century
Gerleová, Jana ; Žemlička, Josef (advisor) ; Doležalová, Eva (referee)
Nowadays, study of Czech and Moravian nobility is very popular in Czech historiography. There are many studies, which are dealing with this phenomenon in the social, genealogical, economic and cultural context. From modern monographs of important noble families, we can name for example monographs of Hrabišici, Ronovci, Vítkovci etc. The Lords of Valdek, who have not been deeply studied yet, could be undoubtedly added to this line as well. Their domain occupies territory between the Valdek castle and the Žebrák castle. The main part of this work will be the structure of the history of this family and its members. The family residence, already mentioned Valdek Castle and Žebrák Castle, will also be the part of the research. Attention will be given also to the Lords's of Valdek pious foundation, to the monasteries called saint Benigna near Zaječov village. The main goal of this bachelor thesis will be to describe the role of the genus from Valdek on the royal court, which culminated in the 14th century. Key words: Middle Ages, Valdek, Žebrák, Hořovice-region, castle, residence, czech nobility, fundation, colonization

Negritude and a new poetic language, originated from colonial history
Šarše, Vojtěch ; Voldřichová - Beránková, Eva (advisor) ; Pohorský, Aleš (referee)
This work deals with Aimé Césaire's book Cahier d'un retour au pays natal, its function a value for author himself and for reader. At first, the paper explains, using linguistic and semantic analysis of chosen passages of this book, the liberation of author from the literary conventions and forms of his time, the quest of authentic style and his own poetic language. In the first part, the influence of french literature on Césaire's creation, precisely of Lautréamont, Rimbaud, Baudelaire, is explained. Afterwards, the work focuses on the emancipation tendencies which consist in the organic incorporation of the surrealistic practices and of creole influence into his poetry. In the second part, the paper attempts to give a description of author's determination to liberate the oppressed people, by the society, and his seeking of a new identity, based on omitted history of this people, on his ancestors and mainly on his forgotten roots. In the first place, indirect influence of the colonialism: his cruelty, enslavement, Triangular trade on Césaire's literary creation is described. The aim is to show the attitude of the author to the suffering of slaves and how he describes it to the reader and how he uses his heroes to accuse the colonialism of his cruel and usually atrocious practices to regain proud for his people.

The use of artificial substrates for evaluation of effluent water quality from organic and conventional carp ponds
GRACÍK, Jan
The objective of this diploma thesis was to evaluate the quality of the water after flow through the ponds with conventional (Blatensko, Czech Republic) and organic (Waldviertel, Austria) technologies using the colonization of artificial substrates by macrozoobenthos (MZB) to asses the differences in the influence of different managements of pond farming (organic vs. traditional) on water quality. Samplings were performed in monthly intervals (AprilSeptember 2016) at nine inflow and outflow profiles of four ponds. Samples of MZB were processed in the laboratory. Evaluation of MZB was supplemented by in-situ monitoring of basic parameters of the aquatic environment. The resulting values of saprobic index (SI) match the water quality in outlets in the range valid for the beta to alpha mesosabrobity (SI 2.302.62). In the inlets to the Skaličný and Haslauerteich ponds, where the SI value corresponded the betamesosabrobity (SI 2.482.49), the discharged water quality in the outlet was insignificantly (p>0,05) deteriorated to the alphamesosabrobity (SI 2.54 2.62). On the contrary, in the inlet to the Gebhartsteich pond, where the value SI matched the alphamesosabrobity (SI 2.57), water quality in the outlet was insignificantly (p>0,05) slightly improved (SI 2.54), but the degree of saprobity has not changed. Similarly, in the inlet to the Pančár pond, where the SI value matched betamesosabrobity (SI 2.30), the outlet water quality was insignificantly (p>0,05) slightly deteriorated (SI 2.33), however again the degree of saprobity remained unchanged. Water quality changes after the flow through the investigated ponds resulted in the increase of the diversity index (H´) and vice versa (the worse water quality the lower H´). According to the analysis of the data of environmental conditions in organic and conventional carp ponds, they did not differ significantly. Also the species richness and the total number of individuals were not significantly different. The results of this diploma thesis demonstrated that the applied organic technologies of fish culture in monitored ponds did not have any significant impact (improvement) on the quality of aquatic environment and the composition of macrozoobenthos in the recipients of farm outflows, and also that no significant differences (deterioration) can be documented in the outflows from conventional ponds compared to the organic pond farming management.
