Muslims in the Czech Republic: study of the integration process of the Arab minority in Czech environment
Vopelková, Veronika ; Uherek, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Zoufalá, Marcela (referee)
The aim of this work is to acquaint and understand the life of Arab Muslims in the Czech Republic. It also examines the rate of integration of Arab Muslims in various areas of life. For this purpose, a qualitative research was conducted in the form of 23 interviews with Arab Muslims, which concerned their reasons to stay in the Czech Republic, their socioeconomic situation, cultural determination, religious life and identity. In the concept of four dimensions of social integration, the author bases her information on the works of Wolfgang Bosswick and Friedrich Heckmann. First, basic terms necessary for understanding the issue are defined in the theoretical part. The second part represents the historical and legal context constituting conditions in the life of immigrants in the Czech Republic. The third part is fully devoted to qualitative synchronous research. Testimonies of Arabs are divided according to their planned length of stay in the Czech Republic and by individual dimensions of social integration, where the hypothesis is a direct proportionality between the intention to be in the Czech Republic for the rest of their lives and the level of integration into the Czech environment. An additional research dealing with the question of the activities of mosques and their roles in the life of...

Germany's current position on the issue of immigrant integration (in the context of legislative measures in the Immigration Act - "Zuwanderungsgesetz")
Fenclová, Eva ; Konrád, Ota (advisor) ; Mlsna, Petr (referee)
The aim of this study is to analyze the German approach to the issue of immigrants' integration. I look at this problem from the point of view of a new legislative framework. This work should show how immigration laws influenced local integration policy. The law had great ambitions to improve the situation regarding the integration of immigrants. I am trying to discover its qualities but also to identify its drawbacks. First, there is outlined a problematic situation that led to the adoption of this law. There is described the situation and circumstances under which the law originated. Since the very first measure dealing with issues of integration, I show how specific solutions of supporting the integration of immigrants the law offers. I analyzed the form of a pro-active integration policy, which was established by this Act. The greatest attention was paid to linguistic integration. The Act established partially compulsory integration courses to promote the integration. Finally, I try to show the problems that Germany must deal with concerning the application of the statutory provisions. I try to show what problems are associated with the implementation of integration courses. Based on the analysis of immigration law, I try to prove which concept of integration policy towards which Germany is...

From all corners of the world: Ethnic identity of Erasmus students
Šlédrová, Jasňa ; Řezáčová, Vendula (advisor) ; Oravcová, Anna (referee)
The main topic of this work is forming of an ethnic identity in multicultural interaction. The key source of information besides the literature is data acquired by own research work. Studied literature enables the author to discuss the main theoretical approaches and specify the essential terminology. The presented concept is examined owing to the research work. The research is designed as a case study of a specific group: Erasmus students in French Lyon. This group was examined by way of analysis of interviews with some of its members. In quest of achieving reliable data, the research is focused on five nationalities: Bulgarians, Czechs, Germans, Italians and Spanish. The conclusions of this work clarify how the examined individuals construct their ethnic identities but also how they comprehend the term culture. The analytical part of this work concentrates on how they perceive their own culture and how they observe the foreign culture in which they are temporarily staying. In this context ethnic and social dichotomies are discussed as a means of self-identification and self-determination. The work also deals with the idea of imaginary boundaries that individuals build between their group and other groups. The penetrability and movability of these constructed bounds is investigated through...

Formation of Czech Labour Migration Policy : Influence of the World Economic Crises
Šupíková, Barbora ; Novotný, Vilém (advisor) ; Dobiášová, Karolína (referee)
This Bachelor Thesis focus on labour migration in the Czech Republic and attempt to point out the impact of economic crisis on the formation of political discourse. I am approaching to the topic by discourse analysis. The discourse is considering as a concept the topic is regarded. Data for the analysis are political documents and secondarily also references in the Czech mass media. Purpose of it is a tendency to illustrate which migration policy topics are presented in media. I am working with the data from 2006 to 2010. There is a field for the description of migration in a political discourse, introducing of the main actors of the migration policy, description about the most signifiant projects of this policy as well as for related legislative framework and the topic of integration policy. In particular chapters there are notes about how was the discourse of migration policy affected by the economic crisis.

Analysis on Market for Remittances in the Czech Republic
Dorj, Tuvshinbat ; Cahlík, Tomáš (advisor) ; Avdulaj, Krenar (referee)
The thesis attempts to shed a light on a remittance corridor between Czech Republic and Mongolia, as to the author's knowledge there has been no studies looking to the very area. The thesis not only investigates the conditions of the market for remittances in the CR as a whole but also tries to capture the key determination of remittances and specific remitting behavior of the migrants, i.e., Mongolian migrants. Empirical study with both qualitative and quantitative research methods is carried based on the data collected by author himself while participating as an interviewer in a survey on market for remittances in the CR. The study reveals that although the market transparency and infrastructure is satisfactory, the level of competition is relatively low. As such, the main players on the market do not haste to attract their customers and research other service possibilities. But certain money transfer operators (MTO) for example "Chequepoint" a.s employs active marketing strategy and it already realized most favorable MTO among Mongolian migrants. Also the study highlights that the policies related to customer protection issues should consider on the financial literacy and language barrier of the migrants as well. Otherwise it is not possible to implement policies on customer protection issues....

The role of NG2 glycoprotein in regulation of Rho/ROCK signaling
Kratochvílová, Magdalena ; Rösel, Daniel (advisor) ; Kuželová, Kateřina (referee)
NG2 is a transmembrane glycoprotein, which takes part in cellular processes such as adhesion, migration or invasivity, i.e., in processes important in tissue development but also in tumor and metastasis formation. Among other things, NG2 leads to an inhibition of neurite growth, and probably plays an important role in amoeboid type of cell invasion. These processes are in many respects similar. Both in inhibition of neurite growth and in mesenchymal-amoeboid transition occur morphological changes which lead to a loss of cell protrusions and a transition to a rounded shape. In both of these processes Rho/ROCK signaling also plays a crucial role. Connection between NG2 and the Rho/ROCK signaling pathway has been indicated in the process of inhibition of neurite growth. The mechanism of Rho/ROCK signaling regulation by NG2 glycoprotein is, however, still unknown. In this thesis is proposed a molecular mechanism of Rho/ROCK pathway activation by glycoprotein NG2 which relies on the NG2/MUPP1/Syx signaling complex where the scaffold protein MUPP1, bound to activated NG2, enables binding and activation of the Syx protein. Syx then as RhoGEF activates Rho/ROCK signaling, and the activated Rho/ROCK pathway leads to inhibition of neurite growth, increased cell contractility and traction forces. These processes are...
