Specifics of Voluntarism an Canistherapy - Puppy Raiser.
Kuglerová, Hana ; Moree, Dana (advisor) ; Muhič Dizdarevič, Selma (referee)
Concerned with canistherapy - puppy raiser, the particular type of volunteering, this master's thesis aims to study whether there are any specific features that would differentiate this type of volunteering from the existing characteristics of specific forms of volunteering. Based on the research in the biggest organization involving this type of volunteers, which was made through interviews, direct observation and a written material analysis, it pursues the following issues: to what degree the functioning of the organization is dependent on the volunteers involvement; whether the potential volunteers are required to have any prior professional training; how the training of the volunteers is organized; volunteer management in the organization; what is the form of ending up volunteer work for the organization.

Media Activities of People with Disabilty: Anthropological view
Vejvoda, Martin ; Beseda, Jan (advisor) ; Pinc, Zdeněk (referee)
This diploma thesis in the field of media anthropology observes the reception and production of media messages from the viewpoint of people who move with the assistance of electrical or mechanical wheelchair. One of the main concepts discussed is the identity ambivalence or else the discrepancy between social and individual aspect of the disabled people's identity. Disabled people perceive themselves as fully-fledged members of society. However, they must often face the opposite attitude on the part of the majority. This is apparent also in the mass media which depict disabled people according to the members of this category in a stereotypical way. The media image of disabled people has according to them mainly two forms: on one hand, they are depicted as dependent persons; on the other hand, they are applauded for achievements they themselves see as trivial. It is possible to grasp the production of media stereotypes with respect to the concept of the journalistic field developed by Pierre Bourdieu. It features hurriedness, dependence on the market, plebiscite and in consequence symbolic violence. From this viewpoint the commercial media strive to satisfy everyone. Hence journalists select themes which occupy space where something else should be told. The disabled people's organizations are aware of this...

The development and differentiation of Islamic law in Near East countries
Janoušková, Tereza ; Wintr, Jan (referee) ; Maršálek, Pavel (advisor)
Resumé Development and differentiation islamic law in countries of the Middle East Islamic law influences to a greater or lesser extent the nature of the system of governance in every Muslim country, the legal system and the social order in general. The aim of my work was to make an introduction to Islamic law, as seen from the angle of its historical evolution, sources and differentiation in evidence in every Muslim country in the Middle East. In the first chapter I defined the term the Middle East. This term is frequently used in the media but it is not always correctly interpreted. This is followed by a chapter devoted to the development of Islamic law, where I examined the main periods in its genesis, from the first appearance of Prophet Muhammad and the rule of the first four orthodox Caliphs, the dynasties of the Umayyads and Abbasids, to the advent of the Ottoman Empire. To the character of Islamic law I dedicated the fourth chapter, which describes its dominant features, so that the reader can put together a picture of how Islamic law should be approached. In the chapter on the sources of Islamic law I focused my attention on the four principal sources, i.e. the Qur'an, the Sunnah, and the consensus of scholars and analogies. I equally paid attention to some supplementary sources and methods that...

The principles of European environmental law
Vácha, Jan ; Franková, Martina (advisor) ; Žákovská, Karolina (referee)
- Principles of European environmental law The main ambition of this thesis is to examine the principles of European environmental law. To this forminable challenge is first of all very useful to understand, which role the principles generally play in the system of law. That is why we have to focus on this phenomenon from the position of theory of law, when we try to put forward the definition of principles. We also draw the attention to the differences, which contradistinguish the principles from other rules of law and another matters, such as values and policies, to which they can be easily interchanged. We demonstrate the variety of functions which the principles perform in legal order as well as their subserviency during the course of decision making process. Henceforth we devide the principles into specific groups in compliance with their different characteristic features and so create the typology of principles. All these problems we try to solve in the first part of this thesis. In the second part of this work we target closely to the principles of European environmental law. We identify all the positions in primary law, where are the principles set in and we also learn , that the position of principles in the primary european law had to be laborously gained. We also discover the specific...

The European Commission - an expanding institution, or an office in a permanent decline?
Lukášková, Sára ; Klíma, Michal (advisor) ; Jakš, Jaroslav (referee)
Bachelor thesis examines the position of the European Commission within the European Union's institutional system.Commission's position in this bachelor thesis is examined from the perspective of formal and informal functions that it takes. This approach was chosen because it defines the functions performed by the European Commission of its position against other EU institutions. These functions determine the size of its power and influence. The aim of this paper is to describe various features of the European Commission and explain the changes that this institution has undergone the course of European integration. The bachelor thesis seeks to define the current status of the Commission after the ratification process of the Lisbon Treaty.

Forensic RAM dump image analyzer
Kollár, Ivor ; Holub, Viliam (advisor) ; Děcký, Martin (referee)
While different techniques are used for physical memory dumping, most of them provide a hard-to-analyse image of raw data. The aim of the work is to develop an automatic analyser of physical memory dumps retrieving contained information in a user-friendly form. The analyser is supposed to simplify automatic data extraction and should be used by forensic experts. Among expected features are multiple target architecture/OS support, target architecture/OS guessing, automated password/crypto keys collecting, process listing, and module/driver listing.

The alterations of MLL (mixed-lineage leukemia) gene and their clinical importance in pediatric patients with acute leukemia
Řezníčková, Leona ; Trka, Jan (advisor) ; Sedláček, Zdeněk (referee)
Presence of the MLL gene rearrangement at 11q23 is an important prognostic feature. Moreover, the rearrangements represent a suitable target for the minimal residual disease (MRD) monitoring in some subtypes of childhood acute leukaemias (AL). Currently more than 80 different translocations involving the MLL gene and more than 50 of those are characterised at the molecular leve\. Using multiplex-reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (multiplex RT -PCR) and - in some cases - its combination with DNA analysis of the translocation breakpoint we examined a group of infants «1 year of age) diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL), children with M4 and M5 subtypes of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) and patients with secondary leukaemias. Moreover, we exaITŮned children with B-cell precursor fulfilling at least one of the ťollowing criteria: proB immunophenotype, cytogenetically confirmed MLL rearrangement and/or expression oťNG2 molecule shown by f10w cytometry. MultiplexRT PCR technique enables fast detection of the most frequent fusion partners of the :MLL gene (AF4, AF6, AF9, AFlO, ENL a ELL). We screened almost 80 patients diagnosed and treated in the Czech Republic between 1997 and 2007 and we found an MLL-fusion gene in 51 of them. Vast majority of rearrangements (92%) was detected by the...

Will computer overcome human mind?
Nováček, Jiří ; Sigmund, Tomáš (advisor) ; Rosický, Antonín (referee)
The work deals with a question whether a computer can overcome human mind. It summarizes most widespread outlooks on human mind and the current attitude, features most famous reasonings concerning computer and mind, deduces their products and shows difference in computer and human mind. It infers obstacles resulting from this difference which keep a computer from reaching abilities of human mind. Finally there is a speculation why we actually try to do that, what sense it has and where to turn our efforts to gain highest benefit from computer development.
