Changing Kindergarten Teacher professional Competence in Relation to Age and Experience
ŠEJVAROVÁ, Zdeňka
The question of structure and importance of professional competencies of teachers has been addressed by a number of pedagogues. The matter has been approached from different perspectives and numerous models were generated. Though a uniform definition has not been reached so far, in essence, all the models express the same fact: the preparedness and readiness of teachers for their profession. The aim of the thesis is to point out the possibility of changes in the perception of professional competencies of teachers in kindergarten with age and length of their professional experience. The theoretical part deals with the concept of professional competencies of kindergarten teachers in the current changing role of pre-school teachers. It mainly introduces the general concept of competence, professional competence and features their definition, meaning and structure. Concurrently it presents several models of professional competencies by leading experts. It further describes the formation process of these skills during the preparation of pre-school teachers to their profession. Subsequently, it warns against the routine practices carried out in the kindergartens and outlines the main skills that could help preventing them. The practical part is processed using the method of questionnaire survey of kindergarten teachers. The questionnaire aims to determine how the professional competencies are perceived by the teachers in relation to their age and length of practice and to map and describe some routine practices that tend to persist in the Czech kindergartens.

Rajdl, Jan ; Molín, Jan (advisor) ; Králíček, Vladimír (referee)
Audit is an interdisciplinary activity which requires, nowadays more than ever in the past, knowledge and skills in the field of accounting and related financial knowledge, as well as from other non-financial sectors (such as the statistics or the information technology). The use of statistics in the audit may not be entirely obvious at first sight and thus the main aim of this thesis is to point out possible ways to apply statistical tools in substantive testing (which represents an important stage of the audit work). The most important use of statistics in the audit can be found in sampling methods. The range of a tested population may be too wide for testing the whole population that leads to the fact that it is necessary to select an audit sample appropriately. The thesis outlines what kind of method and technique of selection to choose and how to generalize the results obtained during the sample testing to the entire population. Besides the main aim in the form of the application of statistical tools in the audit, the thesis also focuses on a brief description of the audit history, polemic of current understanding of the term audit, professional organizations and regulations of the audit in the Czech Republic and description of individual stages of audit work (especially on a detailed analysis of a substantive testing).

Kaplan, Antonín ; Županič, Jan (referee) ; Horčička, Václav (advisor)
This thesis analyses history of the Pan-European movement in the 1930s, which was founded by the count Richard Nicolaus Coudenhove-Kalergi in the year of 1923. This nobleman with Czechoslovak citizenship was aware of declining political and economic weight of the European continent in the world and this fact stood behind his decision to found a movement that unite Europe on federal principle. Although this work also covers partially the history of the Pan-European movement in the 1920s, the accent of this work is put on following decade. The idea of united Europe had to face tough confrontation with radicalizing political situation in many European countries in this time and that is why the European could not be established already in the interwar period.

The image of the city in contemporary British literature. The city in the works of Martin Amis and Ian McEwan
Chalupský, Petr ; Hilský, Martin (advisor) ; Nováková, Soňa (referee) ; Grmela, Josef (referee)
The city and its milieu have always been a source of inspiration and motifs for artists and writers are no exception. The process of urbanization brought along rapid social, political, cultural and economic changes which evoked immediate responses of various kinds, from welcoming and celebrating ones to those of rejection and condemnation, from those who were traditionally the most sensitive about such phenomena ~ men of letters. As a result of this fact, the image of the city has been present in literature since the first urban societies appeared and to trace it back in detail would mean a different aim from that which this work is going to follow. The main concern of my thesis is contemporary British literature and therefore I would like to focus on how the city is reflected in the works of British writers in the last two decades of the twentieth century. To provide certain general coherence, continuity and context of the theme, I will also put down a brief outline of how the image of the city has been developing and changing in English literature since the late Victorian period trying to show that the phenomenon is very deep-rooted in the tradition of the English imagination. If we should mention the most notable contemporary British writers whose works are set in cities or in some other way depict the...

Regional Political Parties in Spain and the State of Autonomies
Dvořák, Pavel ; Perottino, Michel (advisor) ; Kasáková, Zuzana (referee)
Despite not being a federation Spain is deeply decentralized country. The present-day system of political and territorial organization was outlined during the process of transition to democracy, which took place between 1975 and 1982. The so-called State of Autonomies was based on consensus and will to find a general agreement among the main political actors. Hence, to some extent, it has an ambivalent nature and nowadays is short of full acceptance and finality. This fact alongside the age- old heterogeneity of Spanish population results in a cleavage mirrored in the different views on desirable power and territorial configuration of the country. Today, Spain is divided into seventeen autonomous communities. These units are endowed with both executive and legislative functions and they constitute distinctive political arenas. In some of them the political competition resembles that of the national level. Nevertheless, in the majority of the communities the regional political parties have got an important, sometimes even pivotal role. Right these actors of regional politics are in the focus of this research. In its scope we defined two aims. Firstly, we want to find out what attitudes the regional political parties take towards the autonomous state and its nature, and, respectively, if and to what...
