The aim of this work was to prepare and dye a cloth by a cornflower blue due to recipe from the 15th century. Introductory section summarizes the theoretical knowledge about plant dyes and dyeing plants, including the studied cornflower. In the experimental section the "headscarves" blue was obtained and a white cloth was successfully dyed by this blue. A test for confirmation of the presence of anthocyanine dyes contained in cornflowers was also performed. The dyed cloth will serve to expand the collection of reference samples that will be used for identification of natural organic dyes in the future.

Methodology of investigation of crime comitted by juveniles
Rusev, Pavel ; Musil, Jan (advisor) ; Štourač, Petr (referee)
59 Resumé Juvenilie delinquency is a very debated problem in public. Though there is a diminution of deliquency of this age group in the Czech Republic, the brutality of commited crimes rises. This is the most important reason for a debate on this problem and high sensitivity of the society about any negative information about it. The name of my thesis is methodology of investigation of crimes commited by juveniles. The reason I've chosen this theme is that I'm interested in criminal law, especially in criminalistic. From the point of view of the czech criminal law we have to divide persons younger than 18 between children (until 14 years of age) and juveniles, those who are 15 to 17 years old, which is my work focused on. The methodology of investigation of crimes commited by juveniles covers procedures and ways to investigate juvenile crimes. It focuses mainly on the particularities and specificities of such investigations. This methodology gives instructions for the efficient and successful investigation of crimes of this age-group population. This thesis is divided into 9 chapters. In the first part of my work (chapters 1 and 3) I concentrate on wide relations of the problem of investigating delicts of juveniles. Chapter 1 deals with notions used in through all the work. History and the present state of...

Cirklová, Jitka ; Tuček, Milan (advisor) ; Lužný, Dušan (referee) ; Bělka, Luboš (referee)
The text, which is divided into ten chapters, deals with the form and orientation of the Czech Buddhist community. At the beginning, the thesis presents a short overview of Buddhism interpretations by Western science, culture and society. We present the ways of and reasons for popularization of Buddhism in Western cultural environment and provide the issues which attract attention of professional public and which have been explored within various scientific fields. The paper introduces research into the current Western Buddhism, which is understood as an independent form of Buddhism rather than a direct continuation of Asian Buddhist lines and schools. The dissertation thesis therefore uses the discussions and foreign studies focusing on the mapping of ways of interpretation and application of Buddhist ideas in the Western cultural environment.. Our study endeavours to understand better the dynamics of the domains of current religion and describe them. The field survey concentrated on Buddhist groups as well as individuals. Subsequently, the text evaluates their interaction and the process of forming of a group and an individual. The first stage of research provided us with more complex data on the institutional background formed by Czech Buddhist groups on which the respondents draw. The following second...

Humlíčková, Petra ; Drobník, Jaroslav (referee) ; Sobotka, Michal (referee)
116 9. Summary This work deals with the public participation in environmental decision-making. The institute of public participation is certainly a legitimate and useful tool of a democratic society. Properly used, it leads to streamlining of government activities and to the better environmental protection. It has its place anywhere where the natural and legal persons are wishing to defend their public interest and not solely rely on the state. In addition, the right to participate is the necessary secondary right to the right to favourable environment. The regulation of public participation do exists in all three levels - international law, ius communitaire and Czech national law. For international law, the main document is Aarhus Convention. It is not yet clear whether it is self-executing treaty in Czech law. Its main advantages are: mutual cohesion of right to information, right to participate and access to justice; the relative simplicity, brevity, and the high standard of obligations of the Parties. The most important requirement is to enable the effective public participation in principle to any decision-making whose subject could have an impact on the environment. The effectiveness is not only the main objective of convention but also the interpretative tool for each partial rights: activities...

Mass media play an important role, they are the main actor that creates public opinion and influences attitudes and opinions of the public within the basic themes that are important for contemporary society. After 1989, in connection with beginning media freedom and development of commercial media sector we could observe remarkable growth of news related to criminality and crime. We could also realize an increase of their tabloidization and brutalization. Unqualified public gains its knowledge of criminality in the region it is staying in and also in the whole republic particularly from the media. Media may although report to the recipients incorrectly about the involvement of criminality, number of crimes etc. The themes of this diploma thesis are as following: media production related to criminality and journalism, normative demands for journalism and media products including their infringements, social and media construction of reality and media representation.

The Past and Present of Australian Immigration Policy
Vávrová, Tereza ; Reschová, Jana (advisor) ; Muller, Karel (referee)
This paper deals with Australian immigration policy, its evolution and current situation. It analyses different waves of immigration to Australia from 1788, describing the first British migration, gold related Chinese migration or 19th century non-british migration. It goes further to explain controversial White Australia Policy including The Immigration Restriction Act of 1901 and core concepts of whiteness and Britishness. The post-war mass immigration program is then described in detail and its relation to shift away from White Australia is shown. The objective of keeping Australia white and British was substantially modified through the 1950s and 1960s. It was Prime Minister Gough Whitlam who officialy ended the White Australia Policy in 1973 and gave its support to the concept of multiculturalism. Measures of the Fraser, Hawke and Keating governments concerning immigration policy are also treated. The theme of Czechs and Slovaks in Australia is included, emphasizing on personal story of one czech immigrant. As the perception of immigration in Australia evolved from assimilation to multicultural society, the Australian approach to multiculturalism is covered in the next part of the thesis. Critical views on multiculturalism are decribed as well as the rise of Pauline Hanson's One Nation in 1990s or the topic of Australian Muslims. Changes in immigration policy under the Howard government and possible directions of new Labor government are outlined in the next chapter, including issues of refugees, current visa system in Australia or public attitudes towards immigrants.
