Rondels and the structure of settlement areas in the late neolithic period
Řídký, Jaroslav ; Popelka, Miroslav (advisor) ; Zápotocká, Marie (referee) ; Pavlů, Ivan (referee)
The Neolithic in the wider area of Central Europe and especially its later period (4 900- 4 500) is represented by one type of feature, the building of which demanded not only complex knowledge of mathematics and astronomy, as many researches have stressed out, but also necessary organizational skills based on a long-term plan. In the context of the Czech Republic, these features or complexes of features ( ditch and pallisade) are called rondels or circle ditched features. The traces of rondels construction and accessible literature make it possible to compare several variables of rondel s, namely the ground plan shapes, the number of V -shaped ditches and inner pallisades. the number and position of individua! entrances. Different entrance shapes represent another important variable in the forms of rondels. Most published sources provide information about the maximum and minimum diameter of the whole complex, the measures of individua! ditches are mentioned only rarely. Sometimes, the maximum width and depth of individua! ditches are recorded. Similar information is recorded about the pallisades ditches. Unfortunatelly, only very few basic and often quoted sources mention the spatial structure of the settlement with a rondel as well as the description of the surrounding area with chronologically co-...

Girls? Diaries
Lásková, Marie ; Viktorová, Ida (advisor) ; Kučera, Miloš (referee)
In my master thesis I analyse diaries of five girls. The centrál point of my work is a qualitative analysis that has three parts. The fírst one includes an extemal description of diaries in which I am interested in diary characteristics such as graphic form, structure, frequency and length of records. The second part represents the genre analysis in which I analyse forms of writing which girls use, skills of writing and weather the skills of writing diaries develop in time. The third part represents thematic analysis in which I analyse the themes that appear in the diaries and their concretisations. In my work diary is not only the object of the research but also the mean to get know the authors in the analysed period that includes the end of younger pupil age and start of adolescence (age dispersion is: 9; 6 - 13; 4). I would like to compare the results of my research with the theoretical knowledge of development psychology. I try to find out what wnting diaries means for the girls, which plače writing diaries has in their lives and what writing diaries brings them. In the theoretical part I discuss the diary as a literary genre and its usage in the psychological research. I also deal with the characteristics of younger pupil age and the adolescence from the aspect of personality development. My work...

Fictional paths to a larger truth in american new journalism
Chamonikolas, Kryštof ; Ulmanová, Hana (advisor) ; Roraback, Erik Sherman (referee)
Truman Garcia Capote (1924 - 1984) and Norman Kingsley Mailer (born 1923) were renown in the 1960s as both novelists and journalists. In two of their best-known and often most valued works, In Cold Blood: A True Account of a Multiple Murder and Its Consequences (1965) and The Armies of the Night: History as a Novel- The Novel as History (1968), they attempted to combine their novelistic and journalistic skills to a yet unprecedented degree and create what Capote himself termed a "nonfiction novel". They wrote book-long texts which 'read like novels', but were simultaneously well-researched and highly accurate journalistic reportages on real events. Originally started as magazine assignments, they both established themselves as landmarks of the 1960s American novel and as central works of the American new journalism, a literary and journalistic movement and genre attempting to blend literary writing techniques with journalistic factuality and accuracy. Despite their common aim and status as "nonfiction novels", however, In Cold Blood and The Armies of the Night represent radically different, even antithetic types of both novel and reportage. A more detailed analysis and critical assessment of their differences and their relationship to other similar works, which I will attempt in this MA thesis, should...

Nominal and real convergence in Visegrad group countries
Smiešková, Zuzana ; Adámková, Vlasta (advisor)
Creating a stabile economic environment that is able to resist the competitive pressure at the European market was one of the main conditions for candidate countries in the integration process. In present all new member countries of the European Union are getting ready to enter the European Area, which will represent the round-off of their integration efforts. The countries of the Visegrad group, that are former centrally planned economies of the Soviet block, form quite homogeneous unit and their positions in the integration process were very similar. The main objective of my work is to provide a complex illustration of the progress made in economies of V4 group both during the integration process and over last few years after their accession to the European Union.

Jak velikost habitatu ovlivňuje společenstvo koprofilního hmyzu?
ZÍTEK, Tomáš
The effect of dung pat size on structure of dung inhabiting insect community was studied in Central Europe. Specifically all insect inhabiting the dung pat was targeted including both beetle and fly families. Abundance and species richness were positively correlated with increasing habitat volume. Density was negatively correlated with habitat size which represents low density refugee effect. Temporally co-occurring species which utilize the resource in similar way were separated by preferences for different habitat volumes.
