History of University Artistic Company
Kolda, Martin ; Němečková, Elvíra (advisor) ; Kubicová, Ivanka (referee)
The University Company of Modern Dance (hereinafter referred to as VUS) was founded in September 1961 and originally arrised from a folk dance group of the University. This amateur company was initially composed of students and teachers whose aim was to find new and innovative forms of artistic expression. With the arrival of František Pokorný to the company, the group began to work with dance students from dance conservatory. But those all droped out when Pokorny left his post as Artistic Director. Sylva Zackova, next to be appointed as an Artistic Director, was trying to keep the company active. With the arrival of Jiri Rebec, the structure of the company changed. In addition to the main company, there was also created a foundation group, which suppose to prepare new members for VUS. At that time, the group experienced a great significance from working with 2 teachers / choreographers: Ivanka Kubicová and Jan Hartmann, who returned to Czechoslovakia from studies at the London Contemporary Dance School. In 1977, the remaining two components of VUS (singing and dancing departments) came under the auspices of The Charles University and the group performed under the name VUS UK. After the separation of the dancing and singing department, VUS began to use the name Dance Center UK, which continued to operate as a modern dance group. Another change occurred on the 18th May 1989, when the modern dance group changed its name to the Dance Theatre Prague, effectively extinguished the original company.

Lastly final kinesiological examination was conducted. To enhance the effects of the therapy, the patient has been in addition required to perform home therapies as...

The Impact of Basel III on European Banks
Šútorová, Barbora ; Teplý, Petr (advisor) ; Lešanovská, Jitka (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to take a closer look on how the stricter capital requirements defined in Basel III framework will influence European banks from a complex point of view - lending rates and volumes of provided loans, profitability, risk taking and market value of banks. Our analysis employing simultaneous equations and panel data models on exp post data on almost 600 banks operating in the EU in period 2005-2011 reports following results: (1) Those banks that will be forced to effectively increase their common equity ratio (CE/RWA) will reflect a one percentage point increase in this ratio into higher lending rates by 18.8 basis points. (2) This should, in turn, lead to a modest impact on the volume of provided loans, i.e. as a result of an increase of CE/RWA to 9.5 % (the case of the strictest scenario), the loan volumes are expected to be lowered by 2% from the current volume. (3) Our study further reports that higher capital requirements will cause a decrease in banks' profitability accompanied by a drop in risk taking. Banks increasing their CE/RWA by one percentage point are expected to experience a decrease in their profitability (measured by ROAA) by 0.122 percentage points. (4) The above mentioned effects were identified as rather negative signals for equity owners, which should be...

Flexibilisation of work
Matula, Radek ; Kuchař, Pavel (referee) ; Buriánek, Jiří (advisor)
This work discusses the subject of work flexibilisation, its different forms and its main impacts on the labour markets nature. From a theoretical point of view I try to examined technological and institutional changes, which facilitate development of atypical forms of labour contracts such as part- time, temporary and irregular work. In the following section of this work the main structural changes of economy, especially in their impact on labour, are tracked. Not only the subject of globalisation or transition to postindustrial economy are being paid atttention to in this work, but also institutional changes of post-communist countries, especially the Czech republic, and their institutional "path dependency" are presented here. Using data of ISSP project I have evaluated the current range of different forms of work flexibility. The main conclusion from this analysis refers to previous idea of low level of work flexibility in the Czech republic. This fact can be explained by prevailling concept of standard, full time work in this country and weak pressures leading to flexibilisation of labour market. Even if the range of work flexibility is negligable in the Czech republic, last section of the work is dedicated to evaluation of particular european model of work flexibility called flexicurity and its...

The Impact of the Motor Vehicles upon the Shape of American Cities in the WWII Era
Bocker, Robert ; Calda, Miloš (advisor) ; Kozák, Kryštof (referee)
1. INTRODUCTION The post-World War II America was considered an era of great progress in many aspects. Generally, it mirrored in the betterment of living standard that suddenly had steeply risen due to a flourishing economy and prosperity. This era beginning at the turn of the late forties and early fifties became also known as the embodiment of the American Dream that for many Americans came true thanks to a heyday of revolutionary projects in housing, infrastructure and other developments that followed later on. Basically, new visions of lifestyle came up hand in hand with new opportunities and trends. Since one of the major advancements in this period of progress represented the phenomenon of the booming motor vehicle transport that went hand in hand with the extensive highway building, hardly anybody could have foreseen what merits and impacts would come up therewith. Several changes that occurred due to the above­ mentioned advancement in economy can be referred to as yielding and positive. However among others, this postwar period also brought its side effects as for instance: the rise of suburbia, the deterioration of city cores, suburban sprawl and or the problem of endless bumper-to-bumper gridlocks. Those last-mentioned phenomena together with the highway building and flourishing car industry had...

Dwelling and drifting in space. Landscape in the poetry of Ted Hughes and Kenneth White
Potočňáková, Magdaléna ; Procházka, Martin (advisor)
This study was originally motivated by a desire to bring together a personal predilection for both landscape(s) and the study of literature, to merge the affective and the cognitive with the more analytical. An attempt to write a critical study about landscape in poetry, however, is bound to encounter difficulties as it is bound to ask questions. As Chris Fitter suggests in his book Poetry, space, landscape, the subject offers multiple approaches and tends to spread innumerable strands linking often disparate areas. On the other hand, one may ask a subversive question, namely whether nature and landscape poetry is not somewhat anachronistic at the turn of the second millenium. It must have seemed so when Terry Gifford, in 1995, opened his book Green Voices3 with a polemical statement: "Nature poetry is having a bad time". He was referring to the previous decade during which allegedly the 'spirit of post-modernism' had changed the preoccupations of poetry and which was marked by such statements of reviewers and editors of poetry anthologies as: "We seem to have lost out nature poets", "We don't publish much landscape poetry" or "Ted Hughes is a remarkable writer but no longer the presiding spirit of British poetry". 4 The very title of Gifford' s book, however, indicates a new impetus behind contemporary...

Estimating the determinants of FDI in Transition economies: comparative analysis of the Republic of Kosovo
Berisha, Jetëmira ; Dědek, Oldřich (advisor) ; Benáček, Vladimír (referee)
This study develops a panel data analysis over 27 transition and post transition economies for the period 2003-2010. Its intent is to investigate empirically the true effect of seven variables into foreign flows and takes later on the advantage of observed findings to conduct a comparative analysis between Kosovo and regional countries such: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia. As the breakdown period (2008-2010) was included in the data set used to modelling the behaviour of FDI, both Chow test and the time dummies technique suggest the presence of structural break. Ultimately, empirical results show that FDI is positively related with one year lagged effect of real GDP growth, trade openness, labour force, low level of wages proxied by remittances, real interest rate and the low level of corruption. Besides, the corporate income tax is found to be significant and inversely related with foreign flows. The comparative analysis referring the growth rate of real GDP shows that Kosovo has the most stable macroeconomic environment in the region, but still it is continuously confronted by the high deficit of trade balance and high rate of unemployment. Appart, the key obstacle that has abolished efforts for foreign investment attraction is found to be the trade blockade of...

The Second Part of the Manuscript of Dvůr Králové and its finder Antonín Pfleger Kopidlanský
Píša, Petr
This paper presents an analysis of the memoirs of Antonín Pflegr (1811–1896), who was literarily active under the name of Kopidlanský, which claimed that in 1821, when he was ten years old he found in a cell in the Dvůr Králové decanal church tower a parchment strip belonging to the Dvůr Králové manuscript, which he later presented to Václav Hanka. Pfleger’s parchment strip discovery is interpreted as proof of the early worship of the place in which the manuscripts were found, which started to play the role of a Czech national history heritage site. This paper refers to the ongoing institutionalization and collectivization involved in commemoration of the site on which the manuscript was allegedly discovered and the decline in this tradition at a local level after the main wave of disputes over the authenticity of the manuscripts had passed over.
