Acting and Trust
Poulová, Marie ; NEBESKÝ, Jan (advisor) ; ŠIKTANCOVÁ, Jaroslava (referee)
The topic of the Thesis Acting and Trust is mainly the persuit of creative freedom. I will try to make the word ?trust?a key koncept, not just a vague expression. It should ideally only frame my work thematically rather than aiming for correlation in every chapter. The goal is not to reach a generally valid claim, which is not even possible due to the arbitrariness of the subject. I will try to formulate to which extent an actor is, or whether he/she even has the opportunity to be, an independent creator and to which extent the dependence on others and their decisions is actually frustrating. I would like my thesis to be conceived as a reflection on the sovereignty of acting as an artistic discipline.

Tuček, Milan
In the November investigation the Public Opinion Research Centre included issues related to social policy. First, we examined the extent to which social security should be ensured by the state in the view of Czech citizens, what the level of social security is, and whether the social benefits should be granted to all citizens, or just to certain groups of society. Next, we asked how the government cares about citizens' social situation and how the citizens themselves take care about their social situation. The research also looked at the evaluation of the level of abusing of the social security system.

Adamcová, Barbora ; Rotschedl, Jiří (advisor) ; Čermáková, Klára (referee)
Aim of this thesis was to investigate the effect of New Year's resolutions on the gym attendance and period, during which people abandon their set resolution. Analysis was performed by ordinary least squares method using data obtained from Hamr -- Sport, a.s. and it proved a positive effect of the resolutions on the attendance of the fitness center situated in Záběhlice compound. The thesis also analyzes influence of the weather, precipitation, days of week and moths of the year on the level of attendance. According to the results of the econometric model estimation, New Year's resolutions last on average for three months. In order to verify this period a robustness test was conducted, which confirmed the result. In a questionnaire survey respondents most frequently reported, that they managed to follow their latest resolution for three months (40 %). The questionnaire also revealed that people seem to leave their long term plans most often due to their own laziness and lack of willpower, but most of them do not use any motivational tools to solve the problem of self-control (or they just rely on their will and abilities).

Progress of my musical authorical work and interpretation
Drábková, Anna ; JANDA ROGLOVÁ, Tereza (advisor) ; FEITHOVÁ, Irena (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with questions of composing and interpreting a song, authorship in different music bands, relationships between the author and interpret, inspirations and different angles of interpretation.
It is divided into four chapters. The first three chapters deal with the need to express oneself by writing songs and what drives me to create songs since childhood.
In the fourth chapter, I deal with the creation of songs, particularly with different styles and types. The next passage focuses on a deep analysis of my engagement as an author and how have I transformed as an author through a span of time. Then I deal with different song arrangements and their interpretations, how do they change over time. I look into possible experiments with songs as well. Finally, I deal with some problems of authorship and the extent of the author´s engagement in the process of work in different music bands, questions of different interpretations of songs, questions that regard the artist who is the author at the same time, and relationship to the audience. The last section of the thesis contemplates my concept of an imaginary viewer.

Vilánková, Petra ; ŠTRAUS, Ivan (advisor) ; ČEPICKÝ, Leoš (referee)
The Czech Nonet was faunded in 1924 by a group of students of the Prague Conservatory and it is one of the longest continuously performing chamber ensemble in the world. The ensemble´s instrumentation is based on Spohr´s Grand Nonetto Op.31: violin, viola, cello, contrabass, flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon and horn. The Czech Nonet was quickly recognized as both an important interpreter of classic repertoire and an ardent champion of new music, inspiring the composition of more than 300 works by some of the greatest living composers, including Prokofiev, Lutoslawski, Martinů, etc. The Czech Nonet has made numerous concert tours round Europe ( Germany, Austria, United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Spain, Italy and France), North and South Americas, Japan, Africa and has performed at many world-famous music platforms, such as : Musikverein Vienna, Montreaux Auditorium Starvinskij, the Munich Herkulessaal, the Auditorio de Zaragoza, the Lyon Auditorium, the Washington Library of Congress, the Vancouver Playhouse,the Dvořák hall at the Prague Rudolphinum etc. The Czech Nonet´s rich discography has been recorded by the Supraphon, Panton and Harmonia Mundi recording companies on forty-five LP´s and CD´s.

Disposing of human organs under private law
Mintálová, Anna ; Švestka, Jiří (advisor) ; Salač, Josef (referee)
Over the last decades, we could witness an enormous scientific progress causing us to be able to heal diseases we could not just couple years ago. Though, this progress often interferes with bodily integrity of others as a part of their personality rights. It is therefore a challenge for the legislator to set firm borders. The purpose of my thesis is to discuss the legal nature of human body as well as current legislation on the disposal with it in Czech Republic and in Germany. Also some proposals are made at the end of the thesis on how to moderate the organ shortage. The uncertain legal nature of dead human body and separated body parts hinders accurate regulation of the matter in civil law. While living human body is generally seen as an integral part of the personality, there are two ways in which dead human body is looked upon. One considers it as an integral part of personality, which cannot be separated even after death. The other connects the personality strictly to the ability of thinking and acting. Thus the body becomes a subject upon the death. Synthesis of these approaches finds the regime of dead human body depending on the sort of disposal. While donating ones body to certain person indicates personality rights, donating it anonymously speaks rather for right in rem. What the human...

Relationship between international and national law in constitutional systems: a comparison of relevant concepts in case-law of French and Czech bodies in charge of the control over constitutionality
Preuss, Ondřej ; Jirásková, Věra (advisor) ; Reschová, Jana (referee)
Diploma thesis "The relation of international and constitutional law in constitutional systems. Comparison of conception of this question into case law of French and Czech authorities of review of constitutionality" aims to answer the questions of relation between international and constitutional law and of resolution of this question presented by observed institutions. The paper is divided into four parts. Chapter One is introductory and defines basic terminology used in the thesis, it deals with several key definitions (such as international law, constitutional law, judicial review). In the second part are presented the authorities of control of constitutionality of the observed states. The third part is then subjected to analysis and criticism of the system of control of international commitments itself. The fourth part is based on the pasts and tries to answer the question in the abstract level. The main aim of the thesis is to prove theory, that relation between international and constitutional law is pragmatic and in fact is always based on the constitution (even unwritten) of the particular state. This paper also discovers mistakes of Czech regulation (scope of review, possible omission of group of deputies etc.) and proposes inspiration by French less formal regulation and practice.

Serialism and its Anticipations and Reminiscences in Context of Europian Melodical-harmonical Evolution
Krejča, Tomáš ; Tichý, Vladimír (advisor) ; Kvěch, Otomar (referee)
This work attempts to view serialism in a complex way, synthesizing analytical, partially historical and comparative points of view. It outlines reasons for and consequences of its creation, describes its basic rules and possibilities of utilization, and introduces its main representatives, authors as well as those who further developed this technique. This work also compares other approaches to composition made of twelve halftones of temperated chromatics and compares principles (methods) of present organization of tone material (tonal system, modal system and serialism). As serialism is, to a certain extent, a synthetic method (it partially utilizes a number of preceding organizational principles and methods), this work also pays attention to anticipations of serialism. It attempts to analyze these individual principles and methods within serialism and find analogical examples in the course of previous historical development of music language. The uniqueness of serialism lies in its unique synthesis of earlier organizational principles. However, serialism is not just a synthesis! The serialism technique is original in its way of work, which is evidenced by the above mentioned change of paradigm; synthesis of previous methods and principles of tone pitch organization is just one of its manifestations. Serialism (dodecaphony) was the first technique which influenced modern music development (in connection with the change of music thinking - transition from tonal to atonal way of expression). It influenced the formation of music language of later composers, who have utilized, to various degrees, serialism within their means of expression in their attempt to seek the newest way of music expression and thinking. The submitted thesis aims at pinpointing and describing these phenomena. With a bit of overstatement
