Causes and consequences of extremism in Czech republic
NOVÝ, Vít
Extremism is an underestimated threat of democratic system in these days. The majority of people are not aware of ideas of separate extremists groups and they can not evaluate possible menace. The statistics dealing with extremism made by Police of the Czech Republic show gradual but continuous growth of members of extremists groups. It is a question, which prediction for the progress of extremism will be correct and whether the extremism in the Czech Republic will stay in his latent form. The big difficulty of this problem is a definition of extremism. This term is not involved in the penalty law, because it is a term of politics science. Extremism is generally known as a terrorism or more precisely as an Islamic terrorism. The issue of this bachelor thesis is extremism in his basic form. So the main aim is to notify the situation of extremism in the Czech Republic, especially in Trhové Sviny, the basic illegal activities of extremist groups, delinquent behaviour and possible threats of extremism for society. Moreover it describes attitudes of the citizens of Trhové Sviny, their knowledge in this sphere and it points out a possible prevention of aggression. In the practical part of this bachelor thesis I have found out that the majority of asked people are afraid of extremism, in spite of the fact that they don{\crq}t notice any extremists groups or their activities in their neighbourhood. It is interesting, that the right-form extremism is considered as a more dangerous form. The solution of the extremism is very complicated and it needs complex and systematic changes. One step for improving the situation could be greater preventive activities in basic schools. Next step could be the creation of project, which would specialize on free-time activities of children and adults and it could be also used as a control element of potential extremists.

Bisimulation
Arazim, Pavel ; Švejdar, Vítězslav (referee) ; Bílková, Marta (advisor)
This work is about bisimulation in modal logic as well as in intuicionistic logic without contraction. Bisimulation is a relation between models, which is weaker than isomorphism, yet still guarantees equivalence in the in the selected logic. It is typically used to demonstrate that some properties of models cannot be distinguished. For instance the cardinality cannot be distinguished, which is shown by disjunct union. Bisimulation also helps to clarify the relation between modal and classical logic. Apart from bisimulation, the related notion of bounded morphism is studied because it enables to elevate the unde- nability and undistinguishability to the discourse of frames. The part about modal logic is basically a compilation of well known facts, yet their interaction is made more clear and some proofs, which are usually disregarded as obvious, are presented in an explicit manner. Talking about the second part, mere reasonable de nition of the semantics is an honest work. Yet even here the bisimulation and bounded isomorphism are introduced and some examples are shown in order to illustrate their utility.

Regulation of Cathepsin D Activity and Activation
Máša, Martin
PhD Thesis ABSTRACT REGULATION OF CATHEPSIN D ACTIVITY AND ACTIVATION Martin Máša supervisor: Michael Mareš Department of Biochemistry Faculty of Science Charles University Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic PRAGUE 2009 Introduction Cathepsin D (CD) is an aspartic peptidase located in the lysosomes of all mammalian cells, its main role is catabolic degradation of proteins. More over CD is known to participate in a range of physiological processes such as apoptosis and tissue homeostasis, as well as in the regulation of angiogenesis and the production of peptidic antigens. The role of CD in pathophysiology is associated with several diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and cancer. Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder, which is generally considered to be the most common form of dementia. Progression of this disease is accompanied with the deposition of amyloid plaques (AP) in the brain, which leads to neurodegeneration. The AP is a fragment released from amyloid precursor protein (APP) cleaved by secretases1 . High levels of CD were found in cerebrospinal fluid of the Alzheimer's patients2 . It was demonstrated that CD is able to cleave APP and produce the pathogenic AP. A genetic polymorphism in the CD gene was reported, which changes...

Regional policy of the European Union focused on the member countries of Central and Eastern Europe
Knotková, Pavla ; Jeníček, Vladimír (advisor) ; Abrhám, Josef (referee)
Thesis is focused on regional policy of the European Union (known as cohesion policy). The goal of the regional policy is to reduce regional disparities among the member countries of the European Union. Therefore, regional policy has an important role among other policies of the European Union. In the period from 2007 to 2013, regional spending account for 36% of the EU budget. The recent enlargement to 27 Member States has dramatically increased disparity levels across the EU. The new Member States have lower levels of income per head and employment rates than other EU countries. This thesis is divided into two parts. The first part characterizes development of the regional policy, its principles and financial instruments. The second part describes enlargement of the European Union to 27 member states, its impacts, reform of the regional policy and the time period from 2007 to 2013. Different views on impacts of the regional policy together with short case study are added. The goal of this thesis is to evaluate the convergence process among the old and new Member states.

Travel stories of Adolf Hoffmeister. Postcards from China, Made in Japan
Stillerová, Jana ; Vojvodík, Josef (referee) ; Holý, Jiří (advisor)
Adolf Hoffmeister is animportant figure of Czech literature and art of the 20th century. He was an organizer of cultural life, ambassador , member of numerous organisations . He devoted his entire life to travel ling - even after the World War II , which was made possible only because he was a privileged member of government. In this period he became known as an author of books of travel about exotic count ries, to which a regular Czechoslovak citizen could not even dream of going because of several border restrictions. This paper deals in detail with and compares two books depicting his travels to the Far East : Post cards from China and Made in Japan. The content is two fold: on the one hand, it depicts parts which have strong communist ideological background and depicts the way how they work, but on the other hand it also brings attention to different parts which spring from Hoffmeister's broad interest in art and literature and thus became more accept able for a contemporary reader.

Svobodová, Hana ; Adamcová, Lenka (advisor) ; Žamberský, Pavel (referee)
Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, which are known as the second-tier Southeast Asian newly industrializing countries (NICs), advanced in industrialization and achieved high growth rates during past 50 years. These countries are also founding members of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN). Both the countries and the ASEAN have experienced a lot of changes and this paper tries to identify their current mutual position. First chapter describes the factors which influenced the economic development and industrialization in the second-tier NICs. Second chapter explains the reason of the developing countries to pursue regional integration and then characterize the establishment and development of ASEAN. Third chapter examines the importance and the position of second-tier NICs in the ASEAN from economic and politic perspective.

Objectives of presidencies of the Council of the EU
Kolářová, Zuzana ; Němcová, Ingeborg (advisor) ; Adámková, Vlasta (referee)
Each presidency presents its program of priorities before the beginning. In connection with the formulation of the priorities we can follow three different lines influencing the whole process: affairs within EU, affairs out of EU and last but not least the national priorities of individual member states. The target of this thesis is to present a general overview of EU presidencies in the period 2000-2008 and to demonstrate, that formulated priorities do not appear in the agendas of presidencies randomly, but reflect certain continuity in development of the integration process.

The theme of this bachelor thesis concerns European Economic Interest Grouping (EEIG). The theoretical part deals with main aspects of grouping which are legal regulations, termination and dissolution of a grouping. The practical part of this bachelor thesis demonstrates the confrontation of European Economic Interest Grouping with G.I.E. (Groupement d'intéret économique), which is comparable with Economic Interest Grouping in French business law. This grouping was a model for EEIG. Furthermore the thesis deals with statistics of EEIG in member states of European Union. The biggest attention is paid to EEIG in Czech Republic. In the conclusion the thesis is briefly summarized. Then the position of EEIG regarding other international forms of business in European Union is evaluated.

Possibilities of Providing First Aid by Trained Members of the Army of the Czech Republic in Foreign Missions
HLOBILOVÁ, Petra
This Bachelor thesis deals with possibilities that trained members of the Army of the Czech Republic have when giving first aid on their foreign missions. It deals with the soldiers who have passed through a special Combat Lifesaver Course (later just CLS), the activity of doctors and middle medical staff in medical centres is not involved. The work is divided in two parts ? theoretical and practical. In the theoretical part I summarized the specifics of giving first aid in field conditions and the basic principles that military medical staff follow. There are into detail described actions that a Combat Lifesaver performs in case a fellow fighter is injured, to ensure their vital signs immediately after the injury and to transport them to a higher level medical facility. The aim of this work is to provide an idea of giving first aid in the tactical environment of experts and to point out numerous peculiarities which differentiate it from the first aid we know from the civil life. That´s because combat conditions bring lots of restrictions and risks for the injured as well as for the medical staff providing urgent care. The method selected for the qualitative research in the practical part is semi directive interview. The interviews were held with four members of the Army of the Czech Republic, who have attended the above mentioned course and have taken part in a foreign mission with that specialization, and with two instructors of the CLS course. The questions were about the way of selecting soldiers for the CLS course, their training and preparation before their departure to a foreign mission. There were also analysed the competences and obligations of a Combat Lifesaver in case of injury of a fellow fighter. The research has demonstrated that soldiers are selected for the Combat Lifesaver course mainly according to the requirements for the foreign missions. The aim of the selection is the presence of at least one soldier with medical training in each crew. The only requirement on the soldiers that must be fulfilled before departing to a foreign mission is completion of the cited course. Other activities, like training other members of the crew and rounding off their knowledge are up to their consideration. It´s been proved that a Combat Lifesaver fulfils their tasks at a foreign mission in the same way as any other soldier and their specialization is applied only in case of injury of a fellow fighter. They most often deal with gunshot and fragment wounds.

Foreign direct investments from Republic of Korea into the EU (especially into The Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia)
Tomíšek, Jakub ; Kašpar, Václav (advisor) ; Vošta, Milan (referee)
Presented thesis is focused on the nature of Korean direct investments in European Union, especially in the new central European member states (The Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia). The major task of thesis is to clarify, which Korean companies invest in central Europe and why do these companies locate their investments in new member states. Additionally, character of existing investments is analyzed. Thesis is divided into three main parts. Firstly, the explanation of development of Korean multinationals is provided. The main question of second part is why Korean multinationals invest in Europe and what the impact of European economic integration is. In the third part, distribution of Korean investments in central Europe is demonstrated. Both the nature of foreign direct investments and the effect of economic integration are analyzed from theoretical perspective first. Subsequently, theoretical concepts are applied on real data. Answer to all three main questions (which, why and how) will provide insight into future development of Korean direct investments in central Europe (middle- and long-term perspective).
