Jaroš, Ján ; Tretera, Jiří Rajmund (advisor) ; Horák, Záboj (referee)
Financing of Churches in the Czech Lands in the 20th Century The main aim and purpose of this master degree thesis was to introduce individual institutes of the Church financing in the 20th century. Even nowadays, the funding issue is still an opened topic. The purpose of the historical hindsight is to approximate and put aside false hypothesis of Church financing. The prevailing views of the people on the church property and on the "justification" of states occupation of this property, during the last century, were based on rather "philosophical ideas" than on actual legal basis. The master degree thesis not only maps the 20th century, but also pays due attention to the developments of the late 19th century, which established grounds for certain financing institutes and prefigured further evolvement in the upcoming century. However, some institutes of church financing, such as religious fund, were established in the 18th century. The period of enlightened absolutism, the period of the reign of Joseph II, who brings his mothers reforms to the edge of that time, sells property (e.g. monasteries, religious buildings, etc.) and the obtained income deposits to newly created parish cash desk, which will serve to support the Catholic Church. Indeed, the income from the religious funds became one of the main and...

Wollner, Jan ; Lahoda, Vojtěch (advisor) ; Hubatová - Vacková, Lada (referee)
Cosmic inspiration influenced huge amount of different artistic material. It was the only one topic, which went through categories such as high art and popular culture, fine and applied arts, all the medias, official and independent production, state ideology and interest of common man. Thesis tries to go through these categories high and low, fine and applied, official and independent. It divils its material into thematic chapters to achieve this goal. First of them Expand your mind deals with projects of visionary architecture, which does not try to create new "cosmic" kapes but expand - with Marshall McLuhan -man's mind and senses. Then Gravitationless state describes petting loose of Earth as principal feeling of space age. Peace and Freedom play role of contradictory ideological terms to fights between politicians, artists and spaceships. How Does Space Look Like is a question for representation of cosmic topics between abstraction and realism ant the last charter Space for Children does not show reduced version of space for children but "adult" ideological construction of connection between the youngest generation and future in space. Individual chapters are preceded by theoretical introductin The World Where We Will Live Tommorow and The Word We Live In. It is a confrontation of...

Disclosure of wrongdoing in labour relations
Petrová, Anežka ; Morávek, Jakub (advisor) ; Pichrt, Jan (referee)
The submitted diploma thesis deals with the topic of disclosure of wrongdoings, which has lately gained attention due to the recent considerations of the possible complex legislative proposal in the Czech Republic. Therefore the purpose of this thesis is to analyze the current legal situation of disclosure of wrongdoings in the Czech Republic, along with analyzing all the aspects that should be taken into account when considering a legislative proposal, as well as analyzing and evaluating the legislative proposals that have already been submitted. The first part of the thesis presents the subject of whistleblowing and the different approaches to the subject, which are presented by the authors of the frequently used definitions. Then the author deals with the very essence of the issue and answers the question why it is necessary to legally regulate the area of whistleblowing. This thesis also presents various problematic questions including ethical matters inextricably linked with whistleblowing. Subsequently, the thesis provides an overview of international commitments of the Czech Republic consisting of the most important documents, both hard law and soft law, related to the reporting of wrongdoings together with other relevant activities of the international instutions such as decisions of the...

Companies in private international law
Hubinský, Igor ; Brodec, Jan (advisor) ; Dobiáš, Petr (referee)
60 Resume (Corporations in Private International Law) Free cross-border movement of companies became a new challenge for the European Law in last 30 years and surely changed the old theorems of private international law, concerning the companies at least. Although it is exactly the companies who are the most important factor shaping the European economy, legislature has not paid much attention and did little to facilitate their cross-border transfer. Under those circumstances, it has been the European Court of Justice (today Court of Justice of European Union) who has played the crucial role in interpreting the rights the European citizens under the Treaty should enjoy. But performing this enormously difficult task and under the scrutiny of European legal commentators it often got criticism, mostly for the inconsistency in his approach to construction of articles regarding the freedom of establishment. In my work I focused on the most relevant cases and attempted to point out underlying arguments in Court's reasoning. I tried not to set its judicature in debate over traditional issues regarding connecting factors since I think that question of freedom of establishment in European context should move to slightly different area of law. Nevertheless few pages of my work are devoted to these issues, where I...

Legal issues of the protection of biodiversity
Zicha, Jiří ; Damohorský, Milan (advisor) ; Smolek, Martin (referee) ; Stejskal, Vojtěch (referee)
Legal problems of biodiversity conservation, dissertation JUDr. Ji í Zicha, supervisor: prof. JUDr. Milan Damohorský, DrSc. Charles University, Faculty of Law, Department of Environemntal Law Prague, September 2010 The aim of the dissertation is to confront legal and institutional framework of conservation of biodiversity with its biological principles and most serious current threats, and assess to which extend are these systems and phenomenons in conformity and where eventually exist gaps and shortages. As a method of this confrontation was chosen an overview and analysis of relevant sources of law and other related information in the context of each level of biodiversity, and further in the context of several substantive and legal connections. With respect to characteristics of biodiversity which, similarly as other components of environment, does not respect borders created artificially by man, international law of global and regional scope plays a crucial role. It is valid almost without any reservation for nearly homogenous marine environment, in case of terrestrial environment some physical and geographical framgmentation can be observed and the role of particular state with its internal legal regime is more important. Individual issues are therefore primarily discussed from the point of...

Analysis of eigen-values of viscously damped two degrees of freedom system due to changes of parameters of secondary subsystem
Hračov, Stanislav ; Náprstek, Jiří ; Pospíšil, Stanislav
The paper deals with an analysis of non-classically damped two degrees of freedom system from the point of view of eigen-values. The theoretical relations between the system parameters for the case of multiple complex eigen-values were derived. The parametric problem was carried out analytically and graphically. The influence of the relative frequency tuning on the overdamping of individual eigen-values with increasing of the secondary damping was studied. The overdamping intervals were defined with respect to the mass ratio and the frequency tuning. The boundaries between respective overdamping intervals represent among others the frequency tuning of system with multiple complex eigen-values. The phase between components of eigen-modes and its relation to the eigen-values were examined with respect to the secondary damping increase.

World of Pragues Mothers on parental leave..
Brennová, Martina ; Šanderová, Jadwiga (advisor) ; Grygar, Jakub (referee)
The thesis deals with choices made by women on maternity leave living in Prague, predominantly in the area of work and family life. Women's choices do not always represent their preferences and are strongly influenced by the institutional conditions and family interests. Women's preferences are also determined by the idea of maternity preferred by them- Another focus of the thesis is the construction of symbolic boundaries between mothers and childless women. Mothers differentiate themselves from childless women based on moral criteria and from each other based on the understanding of motherhood. Mothers tend to describe maternity leave as a happy period and do not think of it as of a loss of freedom or a sacrifice. However, they admit that long-term maternity leave is stereotypical and can induce feelings of isolation. For that reason, a part of women try to break free, at least partially, from the childcare and return into the realm of adults.

Matamorphosis of theoretical writing on African art in the 20th century
Bidlasová, Petra ; Winter, Tomáš (referee) ; Konečný, Lubomír (advisor)
According to Polish journalist Riszard Kapuscinski Africa is "a veritable ocean, a separate planet, a varied, immensely rich cosmos". The mere size and complexity of the African continent, consisting of many hundreds of tribes and dozens of states, mirrors in its culture and art and it renders impossible to reduce the modern history of African art to fit into one thesis. This fact made me concentrate on changes which occurred during the 20th century within the field of theoretical writing on African art [see Introduction]. Europeans have shown their interest in Africa for thousands years since the antiquities, starting as early as the 5th century B.C. with Herodotus, followed by Arabic merchants, who crossed Sahara and described with astonishment growing medieval empires of Central Africa: Ghana, Mali and Songhai. First period of greater interest is connected with 15th century European sailors, who were sent by their respective emperors to find gold, slaves and sale opportunities. This still leaves Europeans mainly on the African coast entering into the heart of Africa only after the colonial incursion in the late 19th century. An enormous amount of artworks was brought to Europe from Africa during the years and decades to come after the Berlin conference 1884-85, which almost deprived some tribes from...
