Analysis of activities of the CzechTrade agency in key export markets - historical development of economic diplomacy of the Czech republic
Proch, Dominik ; Plchová, Božena (advisor) ; Kopecký, Jan (referee)
There are two purposes of this bachelor's thesis. The first one is to outline the shape of economic diplomacy of the Czech republic, more precisely Czechoslovakia, during the 20th century to the present state. On the grounds of gained data and information I intended mainly to defend the opinion that despite significantly deliberalized market since the early 50s there was institutional support for research and analytical activities, this country had a team of experts in the field and it is wrong marking this subcategory of diplomacy as an activity arisen recently. In the second half I focus more strongly on the CzechTrade agency as a representative of trade promotion. Initially, the company is briefly characterized, in the last chapter, its activities in key export markets are analyzed. BRICs countries were selected as examples of these markets, however, in-depth analysis is dedicated only to two of the countries, namely Brazil and India, because of limited range. The reason for my choice is enormous potential BRICs generally evince, the short-selection is influenced by less awareness of Brazilian and Indian markets compared to Chinese and Russian markets. Individual economies are defined by brief characteristics, form of mutual trade including its commodity structure as well as projects and services through which CzechTrade operates in a specific market. At the very end, the impact of agency's activities in these countries is summarized in terms of entering and doing business in the market.

Selected problems in management consulting
Gábor, Richard ; Filipová, Alena (advisor) ; Zeman, Jiří (referee)
Nowadays, management consulting represents one of the primes of economy of knowledge. The beginning dates back to beginning of the classical management way, today's form shapes in early of this century. The factors, that have influenced today's form of this industry, are shakeout, commoditization and innovation. The first part of the thesis analyses these trends. The second part analyses the processes inside the management consulting. Those processes can be divided into those that lead to the completion of the contract and those that follow the completion of the contract. The thesis analyses the most frequently used methods, selects the most important analytical models and successful practices that help consultant in realization of a change that is the essence of the management consulting.

Phytoplankton of the Slapy reservoir: seasonal changes and sedimentation losses
Krutílková, Lucie ; Desortová, Blanka (referee) ; Nedbalová, Linda (advisor)
Seasonal development of phytoplankton in the central part of the eutrophic canyon-shaped Slapy Reservoir was studied in 2003-2007. Weekly sampling interval of the euphotic layer (0-4 m) revealed detailed information on the timing and shape of phytoplankton peaks, not clearly detected by previous monitoring carried out in three-week intervals. The phytoplankton biomass (expressed as chlorophyll a concentration) formed usually three sharp peaks during the vegetation period. In winters with little or no ice cover, the winter minimum was followed by an exponential increase under conditions of almost continuous mixing. After the onset of thermal stratification the increase continued due to markedly improved light conditions in the epilimnetic layer, until the first seasonal maximum was reached. After the sudden decline of the spring peak, the clear-water phase occurred in late May or early June. The pattern of the two summer peaks was especially in 2006 more complex, due to their dependence on a set of less predictable factors. Concerning species composition of peaks, a regular pattern was also observed. Typically, the spring maximum was formed by fast growing cryptomonad flagellates (Plagioselmis spp., Cryptomonas spp.) and small centric diatoms from various genera. The other two peaks were less...

History of Kaznějov before 1918
Kodetová, Klára ; Charvátová, Kateřina (advisor) ; Foltýn, Dušan (referee)
Resume The presented bachelor thesis portrays the historical development of the village Kaznějov. It deals with its portrayal in the available historical charters and documents. The focus is laid especially on the oldest history of the settlement, when it functioned as a grange of the Cistercian monks from the nearby Plasy monastery, and on its further development throughout the Middle Ages and Early Modern Period. Although the paper strives to rely mostly on available historical documents, it at the same time also strives to portray the village on the background of important contemporary events, such as the Hussite Wars and the Thirty Years' War. In the younger periods, the thesis focuses on the portrayal of the village based on the materials from different land cadastres - the Cadastre of the empress Maria Theresa, the emperor Joseph II.'s Cadastre and the Stable Cadastre. Finally, the paper describes the changes that the village sustained as a result of the mining and chemical industries' development in the area during the 19th century. These changes significantly shaped the village's further growth and also its physical appearance as opposed to the former periods.

Influences of the sociocultural environment on forming the music interests of secondary school pupils
Mikulová, Radka ; Váňová, Hana (advisor) ; Valášek, Marek (referee)
Resume (AJ) The diploma thesis deals with the influences of sociocultural environment on the formation (shaping) of the music interests of pupils. Two factors influence the music development of children - inherited dispositions and abilities; and the influence of the environment. It is necessary to stimulate the development of abilities. Without this stimulation even the most talented child can't be successful. The first influential factor is a family, especially in the early child's years. Later on, it is a school and musically-educational process. Music interests are further formed by television and radio, the Internet, or friends and the environment where one moves. Nowadays, pupils have the opportunity to do various activities in their leisure time. They can attend different clubs and courses, learn English or another foreign language, get educated in music or another field, spend time chatting with their friends, playing computer games or watching films. How to provide pupils with being interested in music? At one time, Prof. Václav Holzknecht wrote that it is necessary to take care of transferring music towards people on time and suitably. It was said that people had to recognize music and become fond of it - and this can be achieved only during children and young ages. To achieve good results, two...

The Late Devonian to early Carboniferous kinematic evolution of the Teplá-Barrandian/Moldanubian boundary
Tomek, Filip ; Žák, Jiří (advisor) ; Babuška, Vladislav (referee)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT The Late Devonian to Early Carboniferous kinematic evolution of the Teplá-Barrandian/Moldanubian boundary The Staré Sedlo complex (SSC) is a relic of meta-igneous arc-related pluton in the southern part of the Sedlčany-Krásná Hora roof pendant, intruded by granitoids of the Central Bohemian Plutonic Complex along the boundary of Teplá-Barrandian (TBU) and Moldanubian units (MU), Bohemian Massif. The SSC mainly comprises deformed orthogneisses of calc-alkaline granodiorite to tonalite protoliths of Late Devonian age (380−365 Ma; Košler et al., 1993) that were commonly mingled with minor basic magmas. Locally preserved subhorizontal intrusive contacts of the orthogneisses against their meta-sedimentary host rock indicate that these magmas intruded as a sill complex. The SSC preserves a rather unusual flat-lying subsolidus foliation (dip <40ř) associated with subhorizontal ~NE-SW-trending mineral lineation. Mesoscopic structures, anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS), and deformational microstructures indicate prolate shape of the strain ellipsoid with dominant coaxial pure shear regime. The solid state microstructures record cooling of the orthogneiss protolith down to the ambient greenschist facies conditions followed by its static recrystallization due to the intrusion of the younger...

Development of Pleistocene glaciation of the Czech part of the Šumava Mts. (Case study of the Černé and Čertovo Lakes)
Vočadlová, Klára ; Křížek, Marek (advisor) ; Kalvoda, Jan (referee) ; Minár, Jozef (referee)
This Ph.D. thesis presents new facts about a paleoenvironmental development of the northern part of the Bohemian Forest (area of Černé Lake and Čertovo Lake) in the Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene. The main goals of the research are: characterize the glacier landforms in the Bohemian Forest and define the variance of these landforms; determine factors influencing formation and development of the glaciation in the study area; describe environmental settings and its changes during deglaciation and in Early Holocene by using environmental proxies. This research proceeds from original data obtained by geomorphological mapping, morphometric analysis and proxy data analyses originated from a sediment sequence in a peat bog in the Černé Lake vicinity. The common attributes of the Bohemian Forest cirques and cirque variability was determined using morphometric and morphologic characteristics of the cirques on the Bavarian and Czech side of the mountain range. These characteristics were compared with other cirques of the Bohemian Massif and other chosen mountain ranges of the world. The cirque overdeepening was defined on the basis of headwall shapes and it emerged that overdeepening of the cirques in the Bavarian Forest and in the High Sudetes reflects a different extent of the Pleistocene glaciation....

Self, Speech and Agency: Emerson, Melville and Bartleby - Beyond Pragmatism and Performativity
Maderová, Blanka ; Robbins, David Lee (advisor) ; Roraback, Erik Sherman (referee) ; Stock, Richard Thomas (referee)
Blanka Maderova: Self, Speech and Agency: Emerson, Melville and Bartleby beyond Pragmatism and Performativity Abstract The dissertation focuses on Melville's characters - such as Bartleby the Scrivener - who challenge American Emersonian vitalism, rhetoricism and performativity. Melville's silence, deactivation, ruptures in discourse, and subjectivities have stood, even in his time, in contrast to American myths of success, force of will, and self-reliance. The potentialities of Melvillean "anti-heroes" contest the rhetorical force, performance, and unity of the isolated self represented in these myths. While Emerson's early work manifests his reliance on the powers of the "beyond" (Platonism) and the "below" (Gnosis), which, however, often cannot be clearly distinguished, the language of Emerson's late work resonates with that of the late Melville on many levels. The dynamic relationship between Emerson and Melville has been, in my view, shaping American culture since the "Melville Revival" in 1920s and continues to do so in contemporary debates regarding both the formation of subjectivity and issues of performativity and agency. Although Emerson is often portrayed as "the beautiful enemy" of Melville, it can be shown that they address the same topics - especially the issues of power, speech, will,...

The Influence of Sensomotoric Stimulation on the Shape of Foot by Football Players of the Early School Age
Sedláková, Věra ; Vařeková, Jitka (advisor) ; Flemrová, Miroslava (referee)
The aim of this work is to find what influence sensomotoric exercise has on the shape of feet. The research was carried out within a group of children from the football dass. I compared changes in the size of feet contact surface, for which I used the instrument Footscan. This was my main checking method. Tlte research and methods 14 boys in the age of 7-9 took part in the experiment. This group got through four month lasting moving program focused on improvement of the feet function. The entrance and final testing included kinesiology analysis, clinic and instrument examining and feet contact surface scanning. The medial measuring system Footscan was used for taking measurements and results data, which provided the necessary level of objectivity for the evaluation of the effect of exercises. I used the instrument Footscan® by RSscan International from Belgium and the scanning desk, size 400x500 mm interface Footscan® 2D box-a software Footscan® Single Step. Hypotheses of the work 1. We suppose that the percentage of postural disorders will be lower within the active sporting children than within the rest of population. 2. We suppose that there also appear postural pathology in the area of pelvis and in the upper parts of trunk by those children who are flat-footed. 3. We suppose that four month...
