Spoken language in the Ostrava region
FROLOVÁ, Taťána
This bachelor?s thesis on the topic of Mluva Ostravska (Ostrava Dialect) is intended to survey the contemporary language, everyday speech, in Ostrava and its surroundings. We can suppose that both the influence of colloquial Czech language as well as Lachian dialect, although used inconsistently, makes this region a very interesting area from the lingvistic point of view. In the practical part, I have focused on the group of respondents divided into three age groups. The first group from 15 until 25 years of age, the second from 25 to 50 years of age, and the third from 50 years of age higher. In all the three groups I have included both males and females coming from Silesian dialect group. The survey studies attitudes of the respondents to their ability to distinguish between the standard Czech language and the Ostrava dialect. It focus on questions which help us find out if it causes problems for them to speak the standard language in everyday use and finally on their views on the popular media-mentioned Ostravak?s website . I have chosen this topic mainly in order to study if the dialect difference influences its user?s attitude towards Czech spelling, and if the dialect features cause more or less trouble in using concrete spelling patterns for the users.

Cognitive biases in decision making process
Trejbal, Pavel ; Pstružina, Karel (advisor) ; Jirků, Petr (referee)
The focus of this thesis is mainly on the area of human decision making. During the decision process we are subjected to several influences, which bias our judgement. Therefore, we may be misguided towards wrong decisions. In addition, it is important that the display of distorted influence is regularly repeated with the same persons. Thus, we may assume that we are talking about a universal apparatus of the human mind. The aim of this thesis is also to identify the above-mentioned influences, and mainly to understand the nature of their origin. The knowledge resulting from the research could become important and useful tool for the reader, since the knowledge may be used for the improvement of our own decisions in both private and professional life. The research is based on interdisciplinary approaches to cognitive science. On one hand we use the functional model of mind, on the other hand we utilize a wide range of empirical data from several fields, such as psychology, behavioral economics and the sciences concerned with the brain. Using these tools, we analyze specific influences, which are considered to be important from the point of view of decision making. They are for example feelings, emotions, social influences, language, self, experience, expectations and prior forms of judgement. Based on the analysis of the influences, hypotheses about their interconnectedness are deduced. Finally, we suggest several practical methods, which should help us to improve our own decision making and help us to avoid wrong conclusions.
