Organic agriculture in the Czech Republic
Simajchlová, Petra ; Kořánová, Helena (advisor) ; Hůlová, Marie (referee)
The organic agriculture is very current and controversial topic. There is a never-ending argument whether it is economically effective and meaningful way of taking care of plants, animals and environment in general compared to the extensive agriculture. Is it just a huge trickery confusing people, or is it a healthier, environmentally friendlier way of life? In the Czech Republic is the situation even more difficult due to the period of communism. Consumer's knowledge of the principals of organic agriculture is low and we need to get inspired by those other countries which are more developed in this area. By cooperation of government, specialists, farmers and consumers we have to intensify promotion and propagation of ideas of organic agriculture. In my work I tried to provoke some of the most controversial topics and to answer some questions related to the organic agriculture. The aim of my work was to analyze the contemporary situation of the organic agriculture in the Czech Republic and by means of interviews with eco-farmers to find out their opinions about important questions. Furthermore, I tried to discover the most significant problems of the organic agriculture in the Czech Republic.

Uig - local community
Školová, Markéta ; Pargač, Jan (referee) ; Šatava, Leoš (advisor)
Gaelic language revival is the focus of many linguists and anthropologists. There are many generalisations written about this subject. This study is primarily based on a case study of the Uig community on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides. With the use of historical and current descriptions of the community, problems are outlined associated with the Gaelic language in this mainly Gaelic speaking community. Despite the high number of recorded Gaelic speakers in Uig (67%, Census 2001), I consider this not a true reflection of the number of people who can use Gaelic daily. There are still many families who underestimate and therefore undermine the status of their language, despite the official support of Gaelic Education by the Scottish Government. Interestingly, there is an evident passivity of parents to enrol their children into Gaelic-medium units at the Uig Primary School yet, many parents do consider Gaelic as part of their cultural heritage. In Uig, a rural area, the number of higher educated inhabitants is minimal. Very lately, a lack of housing, has appeared as a problem and the local Community Council must deal with it. Many of the people questioned in this study are witnessing the language shift towards English in their own families. There seems to be some progress towards a reversing language...

Aid to the Distant Ethics in Foreign Aid
Princová, Květoslava ; Haškovcová, Helena (advisor) ; Prudký, Libor (referee) ; Tomeš, Igor (referee)
AID TO THE DISTANT Ethics in Foreign Aid Květoslava Princová Abstract Humanitarian aid and development assistance (foreign aid) are generally considered to be positive actions which help to save people affected by disaster, striving or suffering by diseases. It is done by satisfying basic needs with the help of food, water, sanitation, health care, or in long-term perspective by education, reconstruction of houses, prevention, protection and development projects. Foreign aid happens in very specific environment: after disasters, in conflict situations, in the midst of epidemics, extreme poverty, drought and floods. It is mainly provided by people who come from quite different environment and culture, from "the wealthy world". The humanitarian and development workers are just links in the "aid chain" which is quite long and starts with big donors and public subscribers, as well as governments. Due to the cultural differences, distance and many "chain links" the aid causes not always good but sometimes it does not work or does even harm to the intended recipients. The goal of this work was to identify possible risks of damages, which threatens the help to recipients. Speaking about damages, threats and risks it is necessary to come out from that cultural and value context, which is expressed in international...

Validation of selected economic theories on macroeconomic data for the Czech Republic
Zoul, Lukáš ; Mirvald, Michal (advisor) ; Matula, Miloš (referee)
The main goal of the thesis is to explore selected economical hypotheses through theoretical conception applying macroeconomics data from the Czech Republic. This thesis includes the following hypotheses: budget deficits solved by increasing taxes, compromise between unemployment and inflation, low impact of budget deficits. To verify these hypotheses, there is a comparison with economic theories such as Laffer curve, which has showed that Laffer peak is at the level of 22 % taxation. Other used theory is the Phillips curve where correlation between inflation and unemployment rate is stronger based on yearly data than on monthly data. Theoretical model IS-LM has confirmed that multiplication effect could have caused the positive economic growth in 2010 and 2011. Even if economical hypothesizes are partially correct, they are not recommended for the government to determine their decisions. There are more efficient long-term solutions that can be used to solve challenges of the recent economic situation.
