European medieval women writers
Bednaříková, Eliška ; Doležalová, Lucie (referee) ; Stehlíková, Eva (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with writings of women writers of European Early and Central Middle Ages, particularly with four women writers, who flourished from the half of the 9th century to the beginning of the 13th century in western Europe. In the Middle Ages there were much more male than female writers, but unique personalities, influencing the world of literature, could be found even among the women writers. Ladies presented in this thesis exemplify with their writings general literary development of the Middle Ages, but, simultaneously, they are always at the beginning of something new. These women writers are Dhuoda, infelicitous wife of nobleman, canoness Hrotsvit of Gandersheim, abbess Hildegard of Bingen, and finally conscious author from the royal court, Marie de France. Dhuoda created in the middle of the 9th century with her writing Liber manualis unique didactic-educational work, the oldest "in France" written piece about education.377 Hrotsvit wrote, as her fellows did, legends and historical epics, but, moreover, she created first performable plays of the Christian world.378 Hildegard of Bingen represensts with her writings the breaking period of the 12th century, but her work is really vast and in its range unique. The last one, Marie de France, is the representative of the courtoise...

European Security at the Beginning of the Twenty First Century: At the Crossroads of the US and Russian Foreign Policies
Jović, Damjan ; Aslan, Emil (advisor) ; Střítecký, Vít (referee)
Bibliographic record JOVIC, Damjan. European Security at the Beginning o f the Tw'enty First Century: At the Crossroads of the US and Russian Foreign Policies. Prague: Charles University, Faculty of Social Sciences, Institute of International Studies, 2009. 69 p. Supervisor Doc. PhDr. Jiri Vykoukal, CS. Annotation The aim of this paper is to provide a clear view of the current conflict of the United States' and Russia's geopolitical and geostrategic interests in Europe. Furthermore, the author will try - by addressing the most relevant problems - to identify alternative scenarios that may result from this conflict in the near future. At the same time the author is advocating the point that tensions in relations between the US and Russia will not improve any time soon because of fundamentally confronted interests as well as because of the influence of realist logic that dominates the political spectrum on both sides. The author argues that the basis of the new security arrangement in Europe can emerge from the tightening of Russia-Germany relations (especially in the sphere of energy security) and more independent EU policies in the sphere of military affairs. This paper does not aim to address so called "new" and "asymmetrical" threats to national and international security (e.g. terrorism, immigration,...

Central Asian Economies in the Triangle of Relations among Russia - China - European Union
Tomčová, Ivana ; Cihelková, Eva (advisor) ; Hnát, Pavel (referee)
Central Asia is a region located between Europe and Asia, which gained sovereignty after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. In the first decade of independence all the countries had to deal with many problems within the states and were not interesting areas for foreign partners. But the situation has changed at the beginning of the new century, when the world faced the question of energy security and the thread of terroristic attacks from the neighborhood of Central Asia. Rich natural resources and key location of this region attracted global players as Russia, China or European Union. They started creating cooperation ties in many areas with Central Asian countries. The goal of this thesis is to describe the evolution and analyze the current state of mutual relations. Moreover to analyze weak and strong points of Central Asian economies and characterize problematic and perspective areas of cooperation, from which involved countries can benefit.

Information and communication technology. The case of Italy
Ben Thabetova, Elisabeth ; Frömmel, Tomáš (advisor) ; Máslo, Lukáš (referee)
The aim of this research is to point out the main features of Information and Communication Technology, its spread in Italy at the beginning of the current century and the effect and performance ICT investments have within the economy. The theoretical part focuses on the reasons behind the importance of ICT studies and the roots of field researches. The practical part underlines Italys late in comparison to rest of the European countries and formulates a hypothesis based on the researches made in 2002 by Bresnahan, Brynjolfsson and Hitt around organizational changes within firms. The results of the research suggest that there is a significant interaction between investments in ICT and organizational changes and that these variables are complementary. Output is positively affected by implementation of ICT together with organizational changes; however, when occurring alone, ICT investments and organizational changes have low and negative impact on output. This result is significant to solve the problems of the low performance of ICT in the country, as it suggests firms would profit the most from a modern technological reorganization of management structures and business processes and, therefore, implementation in such direction should be made.

Theme of a character and an actor's tools. King Basilio and characters during studies
Horák, Jan ; Mrkvička, Ladislav (advisor) ; Kudláčková, Jana (referee)
At the very beginning there were a lot of impressions, explosions of inspirations and ideas and I wished to write them down and to share them. I am leaving the school full of fresh experiences and this diploma work is an opportunity for me to judge my activity in DAMU, to recall some moments, to organize them and to give names to these experiences, which remind in my memory in a form of feelings and impressions.
I will go chronologically through each period of my studding, describe my work on the received tasks in view of actor's tools and themes of characters. Sometimes I will stop, once because of a new idea, once because of problems, that I had to get through.
"I am coming to confess to you" - Those are the very first verses of king Basilio, my final role. I wish this diploma work, would be nothing more.

Popova, Elizaveta ; Cibulka, Jakub (advisor) ; Hoffman, Andrej (referee)
The aim of the thesis is to perform fundamental analysis of the Turkish Airlines' stocks to see if the shares are priced correctly and whether it is worth investing in. I chose this company, because I am accustomed to use its services. This thesis starts with a global analysis, continues with sectoral analysis and concludes with a firm's analysis. The work is designed in such a way that at the beginning of each chapter the theory is given, and then it immediately proceeds to the practical part. The conclusion of the thesis is the analysis of the aircraft industry and the revelation of the factors that influence on its development. The situation in the country was assessed in its relation to the Turkish Airlines' development. The benefit of the research is the investment suggestion.

Protection of the Earth ozone layer from the legal point of view
Bergerová, Lenka ; Žákovská, Karolina (advisor) ; Sobotka, Michal (referee)
Resumé: Protection of the ozone layer of the Earth from the perspective of law This thesis is dealing with protection of the ozone layer. I chose this topic because I consider ozone layer as a very important folder of the environment and its weakening is of global nature and for its protection it was necessary to involve as many countries as possible. This work is focused mainly on the development of ozone layer protection at the international level and on current legislativ. It also includes the European Union's approach to this problem. In the beginning of my thesis I'm trying to explain what is ozone, which substances deplete the ozone layer and which principles and tools are used for its protection. Chapter two is dedicated to the development of ozone layer protection. It includes the beginnings of the international cooperation which began to take shape in the middle of the 70s when was published the first scientific work, which pointed to damage of ozone layer by halogenated hydrocarbons. International cooperation resulted to the adoption of the Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer and later to its implementation protocol - Montreal protocol, in September of 1987. The Montreal Protocol was considered an exceptional success of diplomacy in the sphere of environmental protection but in...

Curse or Blessing: natural resources and economic growth - comparison of the development of Botswana, Nigeria, Norway and Canada in early 21st century
Zubíková, Adéla ; Chytil, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Zeman, Karel (referee)
This thesis seeks to verify the concept of so-called resource curse at the beginning of the new millennium. The theoretical part defines the symptoms of the alleged curse, curse transmission channels and criticism of the concept. Compared to other studies dealing with the theme of the resource curse this work is not focused on just one transmission channel. The practical part verifies several hypotheses established by comparing research papers on impacts of natural resources. The validity of the Prebisch-Singer hypothesis, Dutch disease symptoms and a negative impact on political institutions (inclination toward authoritarianism, high level of corruption, high government spending, low efficiency of economic and political decision-making and low investment in education) is verified. For the analysis have been selected two African countries (Nigeria and Botswana) and two advanced countries (Canada and Norway). The last part of this thesis provides policy implications. The results confirm the Prebisch-Singer hypothesis for selected commodities in the long term and some of the symptoms of Dutch disease at the beginning of the new millennium. Hypotheses regarding the impact on the political institutions have not been confirmed, since the results varied across the countries. The high vulnerability of the countries to movements in commodity prices was found.
