It emphasizes the main fatal moments of the life of every woman. Marriage and birth of a descendant were very important landmarks as the family was a place where the woman should be of use. The husband' s death was crucial for both low- or high-born women. The position of every women relied on the position of her husband, therefore the social situation of each widow was treated by this.

Brzá, Magdaléna ; Karásek, Tomáš (advisor) ; Ditrych, Ondřej (referee)
The Master's thesis Delegitimization of the west in Al Qaeda's Magazine Inspire focuses on the techniques of terrorist group's propaganda aimed at individuals of Arab descent and Islam faith residing in one of the western countries. Thesis analyses sixteen issues of digital magazine Inspire published since 2010 by Al Qaeda affiliate in Yemen called AQAP - Al Qaeda in Arabian Peninsula. Terrorist attacks by so called lone-wolfs on the territory of western states have had increasing tendency in the last decade. The phenomenon of online propaganda and radicalisation through social networks is progressively becoming one of the major challenges for western security services. Grasping the sociological and psychological aspects of lone wolfs' drivers for conducting terrorist attacks is thus crucial. The underpinning theory of the thesis is framing analysis together with the concept of delegitimization. Thesis traces the production and use of five framing tools - metaphor, catchphrases, depiction, exemplars and visual images (which are the combination of studies done by Fairhurst & Sarr and Gamson & Modigliani 1989).

Neuroeconomics: The analysis of consumer behavior and perception of TV spots
Červenka, Petr ; Chytilová, Helena (advisor) ; Máslo, Lukáš (referee)
The thesis deals with the detailed study of two television commercials of an unnamed energy company. The aim of this work is to determine whether people's subjective evaluation is similar or different to values that were detected during the measurement, after viewing each commercial and in subsequent in-depth interviews. A sample of 24 respondents, who participated in the research, represented the composition of the economically active population in the Czech Republic. These were people of various ages, a combination of educational attainment and an evenly balanced gender ratio. Neurological measurement was done through an eye camera, brain responses were measured using electroencephalography (EEG), and changes in heart rate, skin resistance and body temperature were measured by photoplethysmography. The resulting data ispresented in graphs indicating emotional polarity and activity. The results show that respondent's verbal evaluation of their perception of ads is not necessarily identical with the values that are measured by the devices. The thesis concludes by recommending how to successfully target the so-called end user who uses the services of the company.

Taxation of income from dependent services in Norway and in Czech republic
Chadraba, Filip ; Sedmihradská, Lucie (advisor) ; Martínková, Lenka (referee)
The reason for making this bachelor thesis for me was interest in finding out in which of the selected countries employees bear more of a tax burden, thus in what country employees have a higher disposable income. I have set an aim to describe theoretically the taxation of income from dependent service in the Norwegian tax system after reform in 2016. Special attention is also dedicated to rights of citizens of the European Economic Area who work in the Kingdom of Norway. Source of information was especially the Norwegian Tax Administration website. In the practical part I have focused on comparing the average tax burden according to OECD methodology in both countries in the current year 2016. The actual calculated results of average tax burden were in addition compared with the average tax burden which were published by the OECD in book called Taxing Wages 2015. Examples also serve as a demonstration of the algorithm for calculating tax in the Czech Republic and the Kingdom of Norway. Calculated results showed that employees, except for one type of household, pay more to the public budget in the Kingdom of Norway than in the Czech Republic. The tax burden of households is significantly affected by child benefit. Households with children have lower average tax burden. Personal income taxes are constructed in each country quite differently. On one hand the Czech tax system prefers tax credits, on the other hand the Norwegian tax system, where is huge redistribution of wealth, prefers deductions.

The aim of this report is to evaluate the analyses prepared within the contractual research collaboration implemented within the project number of the EEA-CZ02 1-039-2015-OV-called "Complex planning, monitoring, information and educational tools to adapt the territory to the impacts of climate change with major focus on agricultural and forest landscape management" funded by the EEA Fund 2009 - 2014 program CZ02 - Biodiversity and ecosystem services /. The study focuses on the South Moravian Region (SMR) and follows a report assessing the impact of expected climatic conditions prepared for the above-mentioned project in October 2016. Like the previous study, this part is processed based on the 5 selected global circulation models (GCMs) and for two emission scenarios and the period 2021-2040. Since a detailed description of the scenarios includes a previous report confines itself in this text only on the most important outputs relevant to SMR.
