Conception of the learning society - andragogical view
Kýhosová, Kateřina ; Šerák, Michal (referee) ; Beneš, Milan (advisor)
Education is for people so important, it has so radical an influence on man's destiny, that it will be damaging if it is only considered in terms of schools, universities, young students, formal structures and processes. The most important, the very substance of education is its relationship to man and his development and its interaction with the environment. In this diploma thesis I decided to intent on the relation between the changing world and the educatuion, on the question how can education contribute to the development of the societies, on the lifelong education and adult education, on the education in the organizations and the conception of the learning society.

Sameness and Otherness in the Neoplatonic Metaphysical Systems
Němec, Václav
The article is concerned with the adoption and transformation of Plato's doctrine of the genera of being by the Neoplatonic authors: Plotinus, Porphyry, Proclus and Marius Victorinus. The inquiry is focused on the role of sameness and otherness in their metaphysical systems. It is argued that in the late antiquity existed a parallel tradition to the Neoplatonic mainstream. This parallel tradition departed from the main Neoplatonic line i. a. by its specific concept of otherness. This variant concept of otherness contributed to a deep transformation of the Neoplatonic metaphysical system which in this form could serve as a suitable model for the Christian doctrine of Trinity.

Needs of organizations in the health and social sphere in getting volunteers
VERNEROVÁ, Barbora
This diploma thesis deals with an issue of a volunteering from a perspective of organizations operating in the health-social area, specifically in terms of their needs in an implementation of the volunteering. The research was conducted in Teplice region. Two years ago within the bachelor thesis there was carried out an analysis here, whose results the current research builds on. The aim of the diploma thesis was to find out which are the needs of organizations in the health-social area with getting the volunteers. The theoretical part is devoted to definitions of concepts relating to the volunteering in the health-social area. It defines a concept of the organization in the health-social area, it also deals with concepts of the volunteering and the volunteer. Other chapters were devoted to the volunteering in the health-social area and a management of the volunteering. There does not miss a chapter dedicated to the needs of a man, a volunteer and an organization. The conclusion describes the current state of the volunteering in the region of Teplice. The whole issue was explored through a quantitative research. The main method used to gather the necessary data was questioning, a technique of a semi-structured interview. Partial research questions were answered by an analysis of these interviews. The thesis presents needs of organizations in the health-social area associated with getting of the volunteers. In particular, a necessity for a greater awareness about the whole issue of the volunteering, higher numbers of active volunteers in the region, a need of a staffing to be able to manage these activities in a person of a volunteers´ coordinator and together with it associated funds. In conclusion the author tries to outline contexts and possible solutions for the development of the volunteering in Teplice region.

Pyruvate:ferredoxin oxidoreductase homologues from Trichomonas vaginalis hydrogenosomes
Zedníková, Věra ; Hrdý, Ivan (advisor) ; Doležal, Pavel (referee)
Oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate is a fundamental reaction of living organisms in general, leading to energy conservation. In some anaerobic or microaerophilic eukaryotic or prokaryotic organisms pyruvate decarboxylation is carried out by a single enzyme, pyruvate:ferredoxin oxidoreductase (PFO). PFO contains Fe-S clusters and thiamin pyrophosphate cofactor (TPP). In the reaction catalyzed by PFO, from pyruvate and Co-A arise acetyl-CoA, CO2, and two electrons are released. Those electrons are accepted by low molecular carrier proteins. Most frequently these proteins are ferredoxins or flavodoxins such as in nitrogen fixating bacteria. PFO can perform a reversible reaction. Trichomonads are mostly parasitic or endosymbiotic organisms with mitochondria-like organelles, hydrogenosomes. These organelles possess PFO which is one of the key enzymes in the metabolism of Trichomonas vaginalis hydrogenosomes. PFO of T. vaginalis, a sexually transmitted pathogen of man, plays also a role in a term of medical importance. PFO is, by a universally accepted concept, one of the key proteins acting in the activation of antimicrobial drugs against trichomoniasis 5-nitroimidazoles, including metronidazole. In the genome of T. vaginalis seven PFO genes were identified. They were named PFO A, B1, B2, C, D, E and...

Loss of place
Pištěcká, Zora ; Nitsche, Martin (advisor) ; Pětová, Marie (referee)
This thesis considers, from the point of phenomenological interpretation of spaciousness, the theme loss of place as a particular position of the relationship between man and the world. The initial approach to this theme is showing the conception of loss of place by Norwegian theorist of architecture Christian Norberg-Schulz. His definition of place can be understood as a crossing between a classical understanding of spaciousness (as a three-dimensional connection of objects) and spaciousness which has been studied in terms of philosophy. Furthermore, the text studies, by means of interpretation of the works of German philosopher Martin Heidegger, the theme loss of place in connection with Heidegger's motives quadrate (Geviert), Question of being (Seinsfrage) and Question of Technics. In this context, place is then explained as an ontologically-significant constitutive area and loss of place as loss of orientation in meanings (or loss of meanings itself), which ontologically establish the nature of the world.

We are heading towards utopia, brother!
Bušta, Jan ; Fila, Kamil (advisor) ; Marek, Petr (referee)
The film director is from the core of his work and his inner foundation permanently confronted with ?worlds, that don?t exist?, ?utopias?, that he must authentically (?lifely?) construct for his audience.
That?s the central proposition on which these three essays are based on. The papers try to confront the implied ?brother-director? ? who is perceived as an all-encompassing author, both of the audio-visual and the intellectual concept of the cinematic work - with the necessity to cope with the theme of the ?utopian community?, utopia as such.
Technocratic dreamer, brother director, is in the five films dealt with - Lost Horizon (Frank Capra), Muž z prvního století (Man in Outer Space; Oldřich Lipský), Avatar (James Cameron), The Village (M. Night Shyamalan) a The Mosquito Coast (Peter Weir) placed into a situation where he must ?represent the unrepresentable?. He must with all the potentials of the cinematic expression at his disposal materialize ?realized utopian world?.
The wide dispersion of the essayistic style then allows to the author of the paper ? who considers himself to be a film director as well ? to float freely in his topic and jump from ?the light? through ? the time? to the construction of ?the space? or ?the character?. This all with the possible generalization of the author?s propositions and metaphors in mind.

Of ants and men. Myrmecological inspirations of anthropology in the work of V. J. A. Novák (1919-1997)
Hampl, Petr ; Stella, Marco (advisor) ; Hermann, Tomáš (referee)
The work presents life and work of Vladimir Jan Amos Novak, it shows his main thoughts unified by the principle of sociogenesis and points at its inspiration in older traditions of german and russian biology. It also concerns his anthropology as related to the principle of sociogenesis and shows some peculiar Novak's contributions, mainly his opinions on progessive neotenization of man and evolutionary tedency for association. It grasps the principle of sociogenesis as a biological and also a political concept and therefore shows its very political consequences presented mainly on his social thoughts. The work also deals with the relations between eastern and western science on Novák's efforts to unify all sciences under one universal evolutionary framework regardless its geographical belonging. Throughout the work is Novak shown in the context of man-animal relations and the principle of sociogenesis as arising from myrmecological studies. There are therefore presented anthropological works of three important myrmecologists A. Forel, W.M. Wheeler and E.O. Wilson as inspired in the study of ants.

The body and corporality in the work of Svatava Antošová
Kunová, Kateřina ; Heczková, Libuše (advisor) ; Bílek, Petr (referee)
This bachelor' s thesis focuses on the analysis of poems and prose by the unconventional writer Svatava Antosova, whose work is often labeled as "provocative". Texts by Judith Butler and Michel Foulcault serve as the basis for the approach to issues ofthe body and corporality. The thesis analyses the ways in which the concepts of the "real man" and "real woman" are formed in a heteronormative society and what kind of social sanctions are imposed on those who do not fit into these expected roles. It also deals with the role of a lesbian in a seemingly clearly defined cathegory of "women" and with the question if there reaHy is such a thing as "lesbian literature", which is how the work of Antosova is often labeled. The analysis itself is divided into four parts: coherence of the sex/gender/lust, the destroyed body, lesbi(ani)sm and the depiction of an intimate relationship. The final part then depicts, through several interviews with the author, how she constantly has to face aH the stereotypical questions about her "queerness". The point of this thesis is to show how, in aH its complexity, the feeling of "queerness" is captured in the work of Antosova - both on the surface of and inside the body.

Martin Heidegger: Man, World and Space
Kocman, Vojtěch ; Čapek, Jakub (advisor) ; Ritter, Martin (referee)
5 Abstract This essay presents an attempt to interpret the key moments of Heidegger's conception of spaciousness. Considering the fact, that Heidegger didn't publish his understanding of spaciousness in any systematic form, it is necessary to work with a great amount of primary texts often available only in a fragmentary shape. Another difficulty is given by the author's use of language, which requires very demanding translations; we always translate the source texts in this paper. Within his conception termed as the topology of being Heidegger attempts to think about the space not as a measurable quantity, but in correlation with the Greek concept of τόπος, i.e. the qualitatively determined place. This essay concentrates on Heidegger's early work as well as on his late period, during which the topological thinking plays a central role; it also tries to identify the connection between them. The understanding of thinking as a way is essential, as well as the connection of thinking and poetry and the relation between space and time, which are considered of equal value in Heidegger's late work. Merely outlined remain other directions, which may be taken by further research within Heidegger's concept of spaciousness: the critique of the contemporary way of the uncovering of the world, the deepened relation with...
