Symbolism in Ibn Sina's Work: Interpretation of Initiation Stories
Vitásková, Magdaléna ; Kropáček, Luboš (advisor) ; Ostřanský, Bronislav (referee) ; Pirický, Gabriel (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to interpretate the stories The Living, son of the Vigilant, The Bird and Salaman and Absal, written by one of the greatest scholars of medieval Islamic East, Ibn Sina (980-1037). Unlike his philosophical and medical writings these stories have a different character and create a coherent narrative cycle. Based on their themes, narrative methods and symbolism they should be in my opinion called initiation stories. The main aim of this dissertation is thus to verify this hypothesis by means of the hermeneutic interpretation. These stories, read as a coherent cycle, show typical features of initiation genre: the hero can't find his way, his existential condition makes him desperate, he is consumed by strong desire for reaching a higher ontological degree, meets an initiator, goes through initiation rites of passage, crosses the border between the uninitiated and initiated space, reaches the final initiation through symbolic death. The interpretation of each of Ibn Sina's three writings reveals an inner coherence of the stories: The Living, son of the Vigilant focuses on the motive of an initiator-guide and the description of the stages on the initiation way leading upwards, The Bird tells in an emotional way about the state preceding the initiation and then concentrates on...

Steps of the European Comission to Reduce the CO2 Emissions from Passenger Cars
Nováková, Hana ; Geuss, Erik (advisor) ; Branžovský, Antonín (referee)
The Bachelor Degree Thesis deals with the air pollution and emissions of CO2 from passenger cars. The EU signed the Kyoto protocol, which binds the member states to reduce emission of CO2 by 8% against the year 1990. While is reducing in other sectors succesfull, emissions in transport keep rising. That is why the European Comission decided to create a legislation to reach the average fleet emission target of 130 g/km with the motor vehicle technology and next 10 grams with other improvements like biofuels, ecodriving, better infrastructure or traffic lights. It means that in 2012 the fleet of a manufacturer should emit 120 g/km in average. The European Comission concerns with how to make the proposal equitable to all car manufacturers. The emission limit will probably be set by the weight of the car with the motivation of reducing the weight of cars. The thesis describes also negative social impacts, which the propsal might have. An opinion of many interested parties was taken into account. The exact legislation should be proposed soon.

A Theory of Fictive Worlds and Interpretation
Chaloupka, Tomáš ; Jedličková, Alice (advisor) ; Peterka, Josef (referee)
Cílem této práce je "operacionalizací" pojmů teorie fikčních světů prověřit interpretační potenciál této teorie. Zjišťujeme, nakolik nám umožní popsat uspořádání fikčních světů konstruovaných fantastickými prózami Julia Cortázara a Gabriela Garcíi Márqueze. Zabýváme se především otázkou, zda jsou to heterogenní světy, rozdělené do více nesourodých domén s odlišnými modálními podmínkami, nebo jeden hybridní světy, které v sobě integrují přirozené i nadpřirozené, a jaká je role fantastické události v jejich významové výstavbě. Márquezovy a Cortázarovy prózy jsou z hlediska výstavby fikčního světa odlišné. V Cortázarových fantastických povídkách dochází k setkání dvou neslučitelných soukromých světů, fantastická situace pak vzniká znejistěním hranice mezi textovým skutečným světem a virtuálním světem ve vědomí fikční osoby. Iracionálno je tu tedy jakousi hlubší dimenzí, kterou je dáno prožít jen disponovaným jedincům a která znejišťuje (avšak nepopírá, protože situace zůstává až do konce dvojznačná) náš jednoznačný výklad světa. Naproti tomu u Márqueze je nadpřirozeno jednoznačně součástí textového skutečného světa. Fikční svět jeho děl prošel vývojem. V dílech nejsilněji spjatých s poetikou magického realismu se přirozené a nadpřirozené prolínají v rámci jednoho nedělitelného světa a nadpřirozené neporušuje,...

One Side of the Hero- Interpretation of Cúchulainn's Story According to Campbell's Theory of Monomyth
Frühbauer, Jan ; Fárek, Martin (referee) ; Janák, Jiří (advisor)
The main intention of this work is an interpretation of a chosen mythical narration from the point of view of the theory of monomyth from american antropologist Joseph Campbell. In his well-known book The Hero of Thousand Faces he presents many myths and old legends from the whole wide world. In the way of comparison of the myths and the motives which they contain he demonstrates common spiritual grounds of the mankind. Campbelľ s approach is very familiar to the analytical psychology of C. G. Jung and he many times refers to him and his scholars. Currently he uses many of Jung' s terms, such as the idea of an archetype or Self (germ. das Selbst). Further, hismodel of monomyth of the hero carries resemblance to Jung' s image of the process ol individuation (germ. der lndividuationsprozess).
