Development of Czech and Dutch architecture in the first half of the 20th century and their liaison
Pavel, Miroslav ; Hoftichová, Petra (advisor) ; Czumalo, Vladimír (referee)
Title: Development of Czech and Dutch architectures in the first half of the 20th century and their liaison Author: Miroslav Pavel Department: Department of Cultural Studies Supervisor: PhDr. Petra Hoftichová Abstract: This master thesis deals with comparison between the development of Czech and Dutch architectures and with a search for their liaison in the first half of the 20th century. The research is primarily focused on particular representatives of architecture, on their work and subsequently on responses to them abroad. The development of architecture is seen in the context of a historical framework which consists of the critical milestones of our history. Social, ecological, political and cultural determinants, which are presented on the basis of the historical framework, affect architecture as a material expression and a tangible artefact of a particular society. The research is represented by two seemingly self-contained evolutionary lines of Czechoslovak and Dutch achitectures. The evolutionary lines are connected by the personages of Czech or Dutch architecture or by the leaders of European avant-garde. Description of the avant-garde art associations and societies, which are the prime movers and innovators, constitute a significant part of this work. A notional shared peak of Czechoslovak and...

The goal is liberty: How the U.S. and China fit between economic and political freedom
Winkler, Kristina ; Cahlík, Tomáš (advisor) ; Hlaváček, Jiří (referee)
Kristina Winkler [kristyna.winkler@gmail.com] IEPS Master's Thesis Proposal December 2010 Proposed title of thesis: The goal is liberty: How the U.S. and China fit between economic and political freedom. Name of supervisor: Tomas Cahlik cahlik@fsv.cuni.cz) Short outline of your proposed line of argument (including potential chapters) and the methodology you plan to use: I believe in Milton Friedman's idea that there is a tie between economic freedom and political Freedom. I believe in the idea that once economic freedom is lost, political and other freedoms will also follow suite. Having one form of freedom without the other unequalizes things and ultimately things will need to change. I'm not putting a strict time limit on how long things will take to change but I do believe that it is inevitable. In this paper I will be discussing the relation between economic and political freedom, how they feed and affect each other. I will used the United States and China in the modern context as examples and case studies relating to my concept of economic and political freedom. I will also justify my reasoning for why I believe that maintaining freedom in economic and political realms is important and needs to be preserved. I believe that Socialism trades society's supreme ideal of freedom for the hazy concept of...

Analysis of corporate social responsibility in energy industry
Sýkora, Martin ; Filipová, Alena (advisor) ; Zeman, Jiří (referee)
Master's Thesis deals with issue of corporate social responsibility in the energy industry. The work is divided into four chapters. In the first one author describes basic concepts related to this issue, focusing on the current understanding of corporate social responsibility from a global and European perspective and of course from the perspective of the Czech Republic. Criticism, barries and the future of CSR are not missing as well. The second and the third chapter is dedicated to a detailed analysis of CSR in an example of global and regional company from the energy industry. Focus is on economic, social and environmental pillars of corporate social responsibility, together with the strategic objectives and innovation. Last fourth chapter compares the global and the regional energy company based on the tripple bottom line of the CSR and finally, strategy of the global and regional representative is confronted with a reality.

Epigenetic regulation of expression of immunoactive genes on tumor cells
Hejhal, Tomáš ; Reiniš, Milan (advisor) ; Šmahel, Michal (referee)
The aim of this master thesis was to identify epigenetically silenced genes and to determine molecular effects of DNA methyltransferases inhibitor (5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine) and histon deacetylases inhibitor trichostatin A (TSA) on gene expression in cancer cell lines TC-1/A9 and RVP3. Epigenetic events play an important role in tumorigenesis and also in escape of cancer cells from immune surveillance. I analyzed global changes in gene expression profiles of two cell lines by microarray analysis with a special attention paid to immunoactive genes. The experimental model used for this purpose were murine tumor cell lines, MHC class I deficient. I identified epigenetic regulation of several genes that are involved in cancer and immune system interactions. These data demonstrate that epigenetic agents are capable to activate expression of genes that are important for antigen presentation, cell adhesion and apoptosis. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

School Councils and their Place in the Czech Civil Society
Zilvar, Jiří ; Müller, Karel (advisor) ; Pospíšilová, Tereza (referee)
In my work I deal with school councils and their acception in czech society standing on the start line of global changes. The work is devided into five chapters. First one attends czech form of the school concils and handle with their actors and evolution. Second chapter is dedicated to social context - to the era of reflexive modernization and the knowledge society that come with new demands for society and individuals and also to specific czech societal conditions. Third chapter talks about changes nad innovation done in the education sphere. Fourth chapter deals with international comparison of school coucils and school self-government in general. The last chapter contains description of debate that preceded estabilishing of the school councils and a survey among head masters of the schools after the first term of obligatory estabilished school councils.

Bridge over a local road
Kováč, Daniel ; Mojzík, Petr (referee) ; Nečas, Radim (advisor)
This master thesis is focused for design, respectively for creating counterproposal of existing structure of Motorway Bridge located at D1 motorway between Jánovce and Jablonov in district Levoča in Slovakia. This bridge is over a local road. The main aim of this thesis is design, analysis and assessment of bearing elements of bridge deck. For purposes of this thesis was created three variants of bridge deck. Detailed analysis was performed on bearing construction from post-tensioned precast beam with monolithing concrete slab. Two mathematic models were used for analysis of chosen variant. First model was spatial 3D shell construction. The purpose of this model was determinate cross spreading line of other constant load and live load. Second, flat 2D model, was for determination creep and shrinkage appeared from long-term load. These effects were observed in at advanced defined time nodes. Outcomes from upper mentioned model were used from design and assessment of bearing elements of bridge deck, design prestressed reinforcement cables and concrete reinforcement rods.

Continues concrete bridge structure on the expressway R2
Horut, Jakub ; Sliwka, Pavel (referee) ; Koláček, Jan (advisor)
The subject of master thesis is expressway R2 in Slovakia through a valley. Height of the construction is limited by a railway line and a local road. From two designed variants was chosen one and futher examined. The span lenght of bridge fields is 24,5 +5 x 30+24,5m. The structure was designed according to ultimate and serviceability limite states and construction stages were considered in model. In master thesis was processed structural design report, drawnings, visualization and engineering report.

Finantial Stability of the Non-governmental Organizations in the Czech Republic Focusing on Safety Line Association.
Řečníková, Veronika ; Bergerová, Marcela (advisor) ; Dohnalová, Marie (referee)
This master's thesis is concerned with the financing of NGOs in the Czech Republic particularly in terms of ensuring their finantial stability. Divided into theoretical and practical part, it focuses on studying the present situation in NGOs financing in a broader context, describing the relevant economic aspects and fundraising resources. The practical part is designed as the case study of the Safe Line Association, analysing the utilization of fundraisign resources and the way of ensuring the financial stability of the organization. It presents the results of the fundraising audit, carried out in the organization by the author of this thesis, and its evaluation.
