Further this study provides information about perception of the term terrorism in the past depending on the political and social conditions and about how the terrorist attacks influenced the effort to find the definition of terrorism. The thesis pays big attention to regional treaty in which terrorism is defined and uses it as a comparison basis for finding the elements of the definition, since regional international treaty law has achieved the biggest success in this area. However, in the last two decades successes have achieved on universal level, especially by the adoption of the International Convention for the Suppression of Financing of Terrorism, which is the first universal agreement binding defines terrorism.

Integration of clonal plants in heterogeneous environment
Vinšová, Jana ; Weiser, Martin (advisor) ; Macek, Petr (referee)
Clonal plants may be able to cope with spatial and temporal heterogeneity due to the physiological integration of ramets. To begin with, I discuss basic characteristics of clonal plants and then I provide a review of theoretical and empirical work dealing with the advantages and disadvantages of clonal growth in heterogenous conditions. Three main traits - translocation of resources, division of labour and foraging - are examined in terms of their contribution to the success of clonal plants. Despite a large amount of attention which this topic has received in the past few decades, a number of issues still remain unclear.

ENIGMA OF STORY NARRATED
Chacón, Federico Alfredo ; Maesschalck, Marc (advisor) ; Novotný, Karel (referee)
Federico Chacón Abstract of Thesis : L'énigme de l'histoire racontée. Une ontologie narrative du récit historique. In Time and Narrative, Ricoeur postulate a narrative replica to the apories of time thinking. However, a careful reading may show that not only there is a discontinuity between narration and history, which limits the scope of the replica, but still that this replica, interpreted as refiguration, finally leads to an enigma where hermeneutics meets its own limits. Our analysis begins with a critical reading of mimetic circle as it is exposed on TR1. In addition to a profound redistribution of topics, we argue that the narrative orientation is only a possible orientation of the sense of action. On the other hand, our interpretation of the Poetics of narrative (TR3) leads to the conclusion that, despite of appearances, all analyzes on time connectors stand below the problem of historical narrative and, thus, that the target replica is already in the middle of praxis. In addition, "the fictionalisation of history" appears as a detour which is not concerned with the real refigurated past but with an ethico-political issue, or only whit the fiction. Our search for the meaning of the refiguratif then closes on the interpretation of the meaning of représentance as putting the whole issue under the sign...

The Church of St. John of Nepomuk at Štěchovice
Fatková, Markéta ; Novotná, Eva (advisor) ; Bydžovská, Lenka (referee)
The Church of St. John of Nepomuk in Štěchovice There are not many Art Nouveau constructions in Bohemia. One of them is the Church of St. John of Nepomuk in Štěchovice designed by the architect Kamil Hilbert. Although the construction is not built in the pure Art Nouveau style, its individual parts and elements are taken over for example from the Roman or Renaissance style, it remains probably the most popular architectural example of this style. In view of this fact it is interesting that neither the church nor the builder were devoted sufficient attention in the past. There are not many sources and literature available. Experts devoted their attention to Hilbert only in connection with the preservation of monuments the modernisation of which was his merit at the beginning. Hilbert's own creation remained on the edge of the interest, be it creation dating back to the end of the 19th century or the first decades of the 20th century. The aim of my work is to inform the readers about the personality of the architect Kamil Hilbert and to depict his most important construction, the Church of St. John of Nepomuk in Štěchovice. I focused not only on the brief statement of data, but I tried to incorporate the life and creation of Hilbert also into broader connections, to mention the politic as well as...
