Legislation of genetically modified organisms treatment This thesis deals with the problems of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), especially with the legislation that governs handling them, including international conventions, community law as well as Czech law. At first, an outline of the term GMO is sketched, continued by the description of its use, possible risks and their mitigation. A genetically modified organism (GMO) is a viable organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques for the sake of obtaining new desired properties or eliminating undesired ones. GMOs have widespread applications. They are used in biological and medical research, production of pharmaceutical drugs, experimental medicine and, especially in agriculture and food production. They may have many advantages such as resistance against herbicides and insects and high nutrition content, but they use of GMOs may possess risks as well. The concern about the harm to human health or the environment revolves around disputed or unavailable evidence on the risk posed by GMOs.

Kokešová, Helena
The contribution deals with the relationships between Marie Červinková-Riegrová and Eduard Albert, the Professor at the Faculty of Medicine in Vienna and the Head of the first surgical clinic. The main sources of information were the correspondence between both protagonists and Marie Červinková's notes. The correspondence was related to their political development and to the progress of Czech political development, science and literature. Special attention is paid to self-reflection of M. Červinková as a novelist and a charity worker. The Albert’s attitude towards the woman question is presented in the specific example of his reception of M. Červinková as a writer. Albert had problems with woman’s emancipation. He appreciated activities of women only in the field of literature, theatre and charity. It seems, that M. Červinková was the only Czech woman, whom he respected, particularly her charity and literary activities. He also admired her talent, her diligence and her sense of duty.

The focal point of this dissertation is the novel The Big House (La Casa Grande) by Álvaro Cepeda Samudio (1926 - 1972) a Colombian journalist,novelist, short storywriter, and filmmaker. Owing to the author' s personal literary development the dissertation pays shortly attention to his journalistic activities and further to his short story collection We Were Al! Waiting (Todos estábamos a la espera). In his novel he def1ects the town' s theme which is dominant one in his short stories and his novel emerges from his birthplace and its history. The subject is the historical event of the Ciénaga Massacre of striking journeymen from banana plantations. This is the backdrop to perform an individual drama, the one of a Colombian family whose inner problems ref1ect the whole society and acquire universal dimension. Above all, the analysis of the novel concentrates on the performance stage, individual characters who can be understood as archetypes, and on the time draft which necessitates repeating faults and mistakes. The fragmentary compositon of the novel correlates with the plurality of narrative perspectives and with the polyphonic narrative technique. The novel is to be understood knowing the background to the Colombian political life in the first half of the last century definied as bi-party system in its...
