The Image of Woman in the Old and New Testaments
Vlnas, Jan ; Ryšková, Mireia (advisor) ; Brož, Jaroslav (referee)
he diploma thesis called "P r e s e n t a t i o n o f F e m a l e C h a r a c t e r s i n t he O l d a n d N e w T e s t a m e n t s " endeavours to examine the depiction of female characters in the texts of the Old and New Testaments. The deuterocanonical books and addictions to Esther and Daniel are taken into account too. A list of the female characters and the interpretation of their names proves not only that there are many of them but also their importance. The classification suggested by this thesis is based on women's role in the story of our salvation and representative examples of these characters show their typical features as well as the personal ones. The characters are further described by means of the theological and historical context. Conclusions of these analyses are confronted with the commonly shared views and stereotypes in particular because of their claim that the Bible strongly promotes the patriarchal life concept. The author has concluded that the female characters in the Bible are much more important than people commonly think. Biblical authors naturally shared the patriarchal view of the world, in spite of it we can assume that they didn't belittle the importance of women. T

Angels in the Bible. The Role of Angels in biblical texts
Kopřivová, Marie ; Scarano, Angelo (advisor) ; Větrovec, Pavel (referee)
The Diploma thesis Angels in the Bible. The role of angels in biblical texts tries to describe the role of angels in the Bible based on the contexts containing the term angel. Then it analyzes and briefly characterizes individual texts of the Old and New Testament in which the term angel occures. With the help of this analysis it is possible to observe what role did the angels serve: they announced the birth of a son, God's election, God's commands, they become the life savers, leaders and protectors of the Israel nation and executors of God's punishment. An angel - interpreter acts in the apocalyptic texts. In the New Testament, angels also announce the birth of Jesus and John the Baptist, announce the God's will to people, they announce the resurrection and protect the church similarly to Israel. The most angels figure in the Book of Revelation and they play all roles known from apocalyptic literature: angel - interpreter, angel - guardian, as well as angels who participate on the heavenly council and effect the judgement according to the God's commands.

První New Deal
Černušák, Štěpán ; Tajovský, Ladislav (advisor) ; Váňa, Daniel (referee)
V roce 1933 se stává americkým prezidentem demokratický kandidát Franklin Delano Roosevelt, který přichází s hospodářsko-politickým programem New Deal. Ten měl pro Američany znamenat naději na zlepšení situace v době Velké hospodářské krize. Práce se zabývá první etapou New Dealu od nástupu Roosevelta do funkce prezidenta až do roku 1935, kdy Nejvyšší soud zrušil jeden z pilířů prvního New Dealu. Toto období se vyznačuje ohromným zvýšením státních zásahů do ekonomiky, které Amerika v takové míře doposud nepoznala. Součástí prvního New Dealu byly mamutí projekty veřejných prací, jejichž cílem bylo snížení nezaměstnanosti. V oblasti zemědělství byl vydán zákon známý pod zkratkou AAA (Agriculture Adjustment Act), jehož cílem bylo snížit nabídku zemědělské produkce a zvýšit tím ceny na trhu. Stabilizaci průmyslového podnikání měl přinést tzv. zákon o ozdravení národního průmyslu (NIRA), který vytvářel kodexy čestné konkurence. Cílem práce je analyzovat hospodářskou politiku USA v letech 1933 - 1935 a popsat její dopady na ekonomiku USA.

Důraz je kladen na dva nové způsoby řešení úpadku - reorganizaci (pro velké podniky) a oddlužení (pro nepodnikatele). Cílem práce není podrobná analýza insolvenčního zákona, ale spíše stručné shrnutí změn, sloužící jako úvod do problematiky nové právní úpravy.
