Kratochvílová, Jana ; Heřmanová, Eva (advisor) ; Malcová, Zuzana (referee)
The object of this thesis is to provide a complex synthesis of the current situation of the Czech minority in Banat, with focus on local culture and elements which it is effected by. The Czech minority in southern Romania has managed to maintain its nation identity, the Czech language itself and traditional folk culture for almost 200 years. The work maps the historical evolution of this community and reasons why it managed to maintain its tradition folk culture. It also reviews the current situation, focusing on the aid provided by the Czech Republic, expansion of tourism and its possible consequences. It presents current state of the local culture and evaluates its presentation and popularization. It also offers my own suggestions how to improve the presentation of the local culture and it considers the future of the community.

Web 2.0 in nonprofit sector
Lacey, Věra ; Pospíšilová, Tereza (advisor) ; Skovajsa, Marek (referee)
This work describes the use by Czech NGO1s of "Web 2.0", and attempts to identify relevant issues involved in its implementation. Many issues relating to Web 2.0 implementation (e.g.motivation, context, costs, impact) have been linked to various organisational theories. A model of implementation based solely upon these theories was initially devised, and subsequently modified to reflect the reality of the situation in NGOs, following the completion of research based upon phone interviews. The most frequently used applications were found to be discussion forums and chatrooms. These were primarily implemented to overcome physical distance and engage with youth audiences. They were also usually intended to improve external communication, although they have been found often to miss this purpose and not fulfil original expectations - often due to poor quality of content, as opposed to problems of content control and security, as were often anticipated The impact of Web 2.0 has as yet been largely unfelt by Czech NGOs. Whilst organisations may feel it desirable to participace in all technological advances, poorly conceived or ad-hoc implementations have been shown to provide little or no benefit. However, well-planned approaches that ensure appropriate deployment for the right target audience can provide huge...

The life afterwards. The return of Czechoslovak political prisoners to society.
Vránková, Ivana ; Bouška, Tomáš (advisor) ; Hlaváček, Jiří (referee)
The Master's thesis "The Life Afterwards. The Return of Czechoslovak Political Prisoners to Society" is concerned with the topic of the re-integration of Czechoslovak political prisoners of the 1950s back into society after their release from prison. In the conceptual framework I provide the political and historical background of the Communist Czechoslovakia during the 1950s. I discuss the concept of political prisoner and describe the living conditions in prisons and labor camps. As observed from their narration, I also briefly outline the various strategies employed by political prisoners in their attempts to deal with imprisonment. Although the descriptions of the respondents' arrests and events that had led up to them are topics not directly concerned with the primary topic of my thesis, they are included, because they are vital in understanding the existential and other re-integration-related problems these prisoners faced. In my research, I employ the qualitative method of oral history. I focus on the time period when the interviewees were released from prison and try to describe the numerous issues they faced and had to deal with. More specifically, I focus on family and friendship relations, which had been often disrupted and the issue of seeking a new employment, an area of life in which...

Translation of Russian argot expressions into Czech (based on the translation of L. Dvořák's translation of S. Dovlatov's novel The Camp)
Vartanian, Karina ; Confortiová, Helena (referee) ; Hasil, Jiří (advisor)
Tato práce je věnována specifickému jazykovému útvaru - argotu a problematice překládání argotické lexikální vrstvy mezi ruštinou a češtinou. V první části je stručně představen problém spojený s charakteristikou termínu argot a rovněž příbuzných pojmů žargon a slang. Jsou uvedeny definice různých autorů a některé slovníkové definice. Tato část je důležitá pro pochopení nejednoznačnosti ve vnímání termínu argot, a rovněž ve vnímaní charakteru tohoto jevu u různých autorů. Druhá kapitola je věnována některým aspektům historického vývoje argotu. Jsou uvedeny společné faktory mající vliv na vznik a vývoj argotu a jiných sociolektů jak v Evropě a v Čechách, tak v Rusku. Trochu podrobněji jsou popsány vývojové tendence ruských argotických útvarů před velkou říjnovou revolucí. Pro nastínění některých nejzávažnějších rozdílů v současném stavu argotických útvarů v českém a ruském prostředí podrobněji uvádím a snažím se přiblížit ty historické události v Rusku od roku 1917 až po konec komunistického období, které měly vliv i na jazykovou situaci v sovětském Rusku. Podstatné rozdíly ve vývoji argotu v obou zemích nespočívají jen v strukturních jazykových odlišnostech, ale tykají se především kulturně-sociálního kontextu a skutečných komunikačních situací. Právě jevy sociální, kulturní a politické povahy se nejvíce...
