The influence of mobility on cultural diversity in unified Europe
Lekešová, Lucie ; Mucha, Ivan (advisor)
This dissertation thesis focuses on the European dimension of cultural diversity, migration, national and European identity, and the knowledge of languages. Languages help facilitating dialogue between cultures according to the strategic goals of the European Union (EU). It is continually difficult for European countries to find the rules of peaceful coexistence between the European and non-European cultures, ethnical groups and religions. In conclusion, a multicultural environment is formed. The EU is based on "unity in diversity", i.e. diversity of cultures, customs, as well as languages. The EU does not aim to erase the differences among individual states, but to support, preserve and honour them through its community programmes, political provisions and recommendations. This thesis is divided into two parts. The first one is the theoretical basis, which introduces the main terms in the area of cultural diversity, and national and European identity. This section also describes the concepts and strategies of the EU, which are then analyzed in the second portion, the empirical part. The chapter in the theoretical part focuses on cultural diversity while introducing cultural policies of the EU and its new strategy for culture in in the globalized world. Cultural diversity is a common denominator for...

Reconstruction and model of postglacial spread of subgenus Alnus in Europe
Jelenová, Hana ; Barták, Vojtěch (advisor) ; Mandák, Bohumil (referee)
Many paradoxes exist about postglacial tree migration and they dont solve for many European trees. One example is wetland trees subgenus Alnus, which spread across Europe during the last glacial very quickly according to fossil records. The aim of this thesis is detection their migration potential, with the help of empirical evaluation of interpolated pollen data (interpolation method IDW) and a simulation model based on environmental characteristics of the species. The results of interpolated maps are similar to the rate previously estimated speed and the results of simulation model achieve these speeds only by A. incana but with specific extreme environmental conditions. The mason of this may be adapting its seeds to anemochorii because the simulation model confirmed their good potential to spread by the wind. Results of model for A. glutinosa don´t confirm the ability to rapidly spread by the wind and the observed rate must have another explanation. Maybe rivers can explain the empirical spread rate. This suggests visualization of migration lines and river networks.
The model has also been disclosure of environmental properties that are related to migration potential. Within the parameterization of the model is demonstrated, that R0 of A. glutinosa is significantly better than A. incana. But main parameters of anemochory model are terminal velocity and generation time, which is shorter by the A. incana, and therefore is probably able to spread faster than A. glutinosa.

Factors influencing the development of sibling relationship from the perspective of healthy siblings of children with disabilities
Soukupová, Marie ; Kucharská, Anna (advisor) ; Valentová, Hana (referee)
This research study is focused on perceptions of sibling relationships from the perspective of healthy siblings of children with mental disabilities. The first part of this study perceives the sibling relationships as a part of the family system and notices the particularities of the relationships when one of the children is mentally handicapped. The study also deals with the development of the sibling relationship and notices some problematic moments, difficult situations and feelings that the polled siblings mentioned. In the empirical part, we presented a qualitative analysis of the data obtained from 7 informants using the method of a semi-structured interview. The aim of this study was to uncover the factors of the sibling relationships that are supportive or disturbing from the point of view of the healthy siblings. Following influences have been identified: significant influence of parents, influence of friends, influence of family, time spent together and enough communication with siblings with disabilities, but also the "supportive world" (i.e. the Internet or some supportive psychological programs). For some siblings the belief in God can be of importance; and also the living space, leisure time and space for themselves. These factors may be helpful to the parents of these children, the siblings...

Baloun, Antonín ; Bobková, Lenka (advisor) ; Žalud, Zdeněk (referee)
The main theme of this thesis is the battle of Mühldorf. In 1322, the forces of two newly elected Holy Roman emperors, Louis of Wittelsbach and Frederick of Habsburg, came to Upper Bavaria. They met to battle for legal succession of the Holy Roman Empire throne. One of the important actors within this conflict was the Czech king, John of Bohemia. Contemporaneous chronicles are compared and contrasted in the goal of reconstructing the course of history. This thesis is furthter enhanced by discussing the problem from the point of view studies of current German historians. By reading this thesis, one may obtain a mental portrait of the time and by doing so, will get acquainted with the kings of that ruled the lands, learn the reasonings behind the conflict and understand the consequence of this battle, an effect that resonated more than just on the Czech kingdom.

Jaroš, Jan ; Čechurová, Jana (advisor) ; Kuklík jun., Jan (referee)
Czechoslovak Embassy and Consulate Buildings During the Inter-war Period: Selection and Acquisition Strategies In the Diplomatic Service of Austro-Hungarian empíre worked only few Czechs and Slovaks. For this reason the new established Czechoslovakia had to educate many diplomats and also to create its own network of embassies and consulates. This involved also the buildings. When choosing the right estates were above all important the following factors: representativness, security and costs. Own buildings provided better presentation opportunities and it was easier to adapt them for diplomatic function. Thanks to the stability of Czech currency in the interwar period were the costs for the buildings reasonable. For building, adaptations and equipping the buildings was used stable group of professionals. The critisism of purchase of some particular objects and its equipment was mostly sourcing from the relationships among some diplomats and political situation in Czechoslovakia. Czechoslovakia had its own buildings, which were used as embassies, consulates or official apartments of ambassadors or consuls, in this important cities or capitals of European states (in alphabetical order): Ankara, Belgrade, Berlín, Bern, Budapest, Bucharest, Galati, Hague, Hamburg, London, Paris, Rome, Sofia, Tirana ( only the...

Comparison of Decolonisation in Vietnam and Algeria
Prášková, Dagmar ; Karásek, Tomáš (advisor) ; Tomalová, Eliška (referee)
The Franco-Vietnamese War launched a period of French decolonization and The Algerian War of Independence ended the French colonial empire. Both conflicts shook the French Fourth Republic's foundations. French reasons for struggling in Vietnam were efforts to save national heritage but Algerian territory was considered to be fully part of France with a large minority of French population. In September 1945 the League for the Independence of Vietnam (abbreviated Viet Minh: a communist revolutionary national liberation movement formed by Ho Chi Minh) proclaimed Democratic Republic of Vietnam. War started the following year after several attempts of negotiations while the Vietnamese authorities had refused autonomy within the French Union and the Indochinese Federation offered by France. This colonial war turned into a Cold War crisis in January 1950 because Viet Minh received support from the communist China and the Soviet Union. The war ended in 1954 after a massive French defeat in Dien Bien Phu and it was very significant because it was the first time that a western colonial power was defeated by an indigenous revolutionary force. The Geneva accords, under which France agreed to withdraw from its former Indochinese colonies, partitioned the country in two parts at the 17th Parallel as a temporary measure...
