Volodymyr Vynnychenko's influence on Mykola Kulish's and Valerian Pidmohylnyj's writings
Vodvářková, Kateřina ; Morávková, Alena (referee) ; Chlaňová, Tereza (advisor)
Volodymyr Vynnychenko entered the Ukrainian literature in 1900s. His first short story aroused general attention among reviewers and readers. No other Ukrainian writer of the first quarter of the 20th century gained such popularity and eminence as V. Vynnychenko. During his 50-year literary career the author has gone through an evolution: from early short stories to novels, dramas; and his final writings are marked by science fiction novels, detective genre, political and philosophical novels. His writings were published in plentiful amounts. He held this sovereign position in the Ukrainian literature almost until 1933. An extensive range of thematic and genre specifications of Vynnychenko's writings influenced a great number of Ukrainian writers (e.g. Mykola Kulish and Valerian Pidmohylny), who took up his life-work and elaborated Vynnychenko's methods in a special, unique way. In his plays M. Kulish reassumes various thematic aspects of Vynnychenko's works, for instance a motif of the "Ukrainianess", the formation of the Ukrainian people, the conflict between "Russianness" and the "Ukrainianess", the society formation. However, both authors show different ways of processing these themes. Vynnychenko's writings are dominated by the psychological aspect, whereas the most important feature of Kulish's plays...

Vzestup náboženství v mezinárodních vztazích (Religion's Rise in IR)
Dravecký, Pavol ; Kratochvíl, Petr (advisor) ; Minárik, Pavol (referee)
This work attempts to identify the sources of the difference between the Christian Left and Right; How is it possible that people who share such a detailed creed can be so strictly opposed when it comes to politics? My hypothesis is that the conflict is engendered by different conceptions of will and the body. To test this hypothesis, I first present a brief history of the relationship between Christianity and politics up to the present state of the Christian versions of Right and Left, to finally find that while their understanding of human will is virtually identical, the human body is seen in opposing terms. Nevertheless, I equally conclude that the division between Right and Left is inaccurate, because both strive for the same - to prevent the monopolization of power by either the State or the Market.

20th CENTURY AS AN EXPERIENCE OF ONE CONCRETE WOMAN
Svobodová, Jana ; Sokolová, Věra (advisor) ; Kiczková, Zuzana (referee)
The aim of my diploma work is to find, how are concrete periods and events reflected in a life of concrete women, how were her acts influenced by gender norms and stereotypes of the society, and how much felt this woman limited by them. As a method was chosen the oral history, that enables working with the life stories of people of all kinds of social status and experiences. Its based on biografical life stories, that are analized and interpreted by the research. In the case of my narrator was chosen my grandma, born in the 1922 in agricultural society. This caused that her life experiences dont correspond with the picture of her period, that we know from the historiographical mainstream production, accenting the city middle classes. Therefore it is - by usány the oral history and the analytical category gender - possible to make an original wiev at the events and period of the twentieth century in the way lived by concrete women. This wiev, often marginalizing political events accented by mainstream history, and accenting everyday life influenced by the gender system more, is the vivid proof how much different can be the apprehention of the life according to the context and the concrete life experiences.

Drahorád, Vojtěch ; Peterková, Jana (advisor) ; Knotková, Vladimíra (referee)
The thesis focuses on the relationship between China and the Korean Peninsula. It examines China's view on the peninsula, its ties to and influence over this region and its conceptions for the future of the peninsula. The thesis concentrates on the relations between the People's Republic of China and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. Nevertheless, the relationship between them is analyzed in the context of the Chinese long-term strategy for the Korean Peninsula. The primary Chinese interests related to North Korea are identified together with instruments that can China use to accomplish them. Special focus is given to the assessment of the economic influence that China has over North Korea. However, the Chinese economic leverage is examined in connection with political and military relations between those two countries and in broader context of the development of international relations in Northeast Asia.

Transformations of the Gothic in Victorian Ghost Stories
Bambušková, Tereza ; Wallace, Clare (advisor) ; Beran, Zdeněk (referee)
Thesis abstract This thesis will focus on the ways in which the transformations in nineteenth-century Gothic stories mirror the gradual changes in the Victorian society's notions about perception and about the metaphysical. The nineteenth century marks a time when advances in science made it clear that not seeing something does not mean that it does not exist, and when psychologists made it clear that seeing something does not necessarily mean it does exist. Moreover, the nineteenth century was a time when religious notions that were previously accepted without question started to be doubted. When people lost their faith in the unseen and at the same time became aware that their eyes are not sufficient to see everything and that their mind may play tricks on them, the notion of reality was increasingly problematized, which is made especially clear in the genre of the Gothic. It could be argued that while the basic tropes of the Gothic remain more or less the same; however, the way they are used, the reactions of the protagonists as well as the general outlook of the story are problematized by newly introduced ideas about vision and human mind. It could be said that in many cases there is no longer a clear boundary between the protagonist and the 'other' of the story, which can often be interpreted as an...

Glebova, Margarita ; Koubek, Ivo (advisor) ; Todica, Doina (referee)
There is a common idea that human resource management in non-profit corporations is very different from human resource management in for-profit corporations. From one side, there are a lot of differences in recruiting people or strategic management. From other side, there are enough similarities in both types of organization. To understand, how to set Human Resource Management in non-profit organization, the basic differences between these two types have to be understood. It means not only understanding in the Human resource level, but in general economical level. Any activity in the economy has to be set as an answer to the needs. After analysis of the main differences between both types of organization, it is much easier to find a need for particular policy of HRM in non-profit. To paint the whole picture of the problem, I will give a quick definition of Non-profit sector in general, after we will pay particular attention to HRM policies in non-profit sector and the goal of the last chapter is to show the main differences between non-profit and for-profit HRM. The question to answer is which of factors has a bigger significance in this topic.

Liberalism
Kružíková, Eva ; Hrdlička, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Lášek, Jan Blahoslav (referee)
Unstoppable headway of human kind had to face prejudices and control of those in power for centuries. Without any doubt it is incredible that there were individuals to extend outer limits of human wisdom although they were punished for their deeds afterwards. Renaissance brought massive progress of civic society. Not only Church and monasteries were wisdom-holders any more. Fruits of renaissance were given to a large number of people as the society started to loosen both on the field of politics and religion. Nevertheless feudal system of government that restrained scholarship and education from serfs was not overcame yet. ln that respect England was the first to leave old ways of thinking behind (as many times after) and overtook the rest of Europe. That was the reason for choosing England in that age to be a subject of my thesis. This age is represented by reasonable politics which I find very familiar to me. Inner politics based on Empirism and outer in order to sustain power balance in Europe.

Broukalová, Jana ; Bílková, Diana (advisor) ; Zaderlíková, Šárka (referee)
This thesis aims to familiarize the reader with the topic of life insurance, especially insurance taken out for more people. Its focus is empirical rather as combining the use of several actuarial and statistical methods through three statistical software and applications created in MS Excel using VBA. First, thesis is focused to multiple life insurance with intention to show reader the diversity of this interesting but rarely offered product in business world, especially through the application created for the purpose of this work. Sense of mentioned application lies in the fact it is able to calculate amount of the net premium for a user-selected type of insurance. Based on this outcome insurer can determine the net price corresponding to the chosen risk coverage (regardless of the amount of the costs associated with this type of insurance and required profitability). Age of insured person isn't usually part of calculation of premium for accident insurance. One of the aims of this study is to assess whether this parameter actually has or doesn't have any effect on the price of insurance. With help of SPSS and RStudio software relationship between age of insured person and amount of indemnification from daily compensation insurance has been researched. Based on the test of variable independence were detected dependencies of these variables where all of which used measure of association suggests a weak dependence amount of indemnification on the age of the insured. It surely worth insurer should consider different insurance rates for various ages of insured person. Following by examination whether the rate used to calculate premiums in case of hospitalization extra insurance corresponds to the actual risk coverage. It has been calculated the rate could be lower than currently used due to the loss experience of insurance for the past 9 years and the assumption of certain expenses and desired profit. It would be cheaper for insurance group contracts than it is today, when the insurer has done so. It could also attract new clientele. The last stated goal in this thesis is to create prognosis of the amount of indemnity paid for injuries covered by additional daily compensation insurance. Using the software EViews is analyzed this trend in the past 32 months first. Based on its outcome there is a future level forecast created for the next four years. These resulting values indicate the insurance indemnity for group contract will grow. Therefore, based on this analysis insurer should to conclude in the contract it would be appropriate to increase the premium of the insurance coverage. With these practical tasks the reader can get idea not only of problems solved in the scope of multiple life insurance and group insurance but also to become familiar with some statistical software used for analyzes carried out not only in the insurance industry. The conclusions of this thesis can also be beneficial for insurer who may adjust premium prices of analyzed insurances.
