Czech relative clauses in translation to English
Švecová, Martina ; Šaldová, Pavlína (advisor) ; Malá, Markéta (referee)
This thesis deals with relative clauses in Czech, particularly with those which have the relative word in the nominative case, and their translation counterparts in English. Czech does not have the possibility of juxtaposition of the relative word and the finite verb; it uses more explicit formulations. Therefore, the translator has to choose either a literal translation, ie more explicit, or a nonfinite clause, or eventually a prepositional phrase. Another possibility is to translate the relative clause by other means, e.g. a coordination. The first part is concerned with the theoretical definition of the Czech and English relative clauses with the help of the respective books of grammar. The second part comprises the analysis of 123 examples of Czech relative clauses and their English translation counterparts. The examples were chosen from three novels by Czech authors with the help of the software ParaConc which enables parallel work with multilingual corpora. The examples were sorted according to the above mentioned criteria, ie from more explicit to less explicit and other means of translation other than a relative clause.

Bedtime story and sleep! Regulating the use of television in raising children under 6 years of age
Švecová, Martina ; Jirák, Jan (advisor) ; Bednařík, Petr (referee) ; Štoll, Martin (referee)
The rigorous thesis "Bedtime story and sleep! Regulating the use of television in raising children under 6 years of age", describes the way and intensity of how parents regulate children's TV viewing. However, since a TV set (as an object) in our households is not the only displaying device and television (as an institution) is not the only broadcaster of television contents, this thesis also includes watching TV programmes on other displaying devices such as computer, tablet, laptop and smartphone, which are connectable to the Internet. The chosen target group are children from 0 to 6 years of age. The thesis is based on two hypotheses. Firstly, parents use TV as a babysitter, and do so for various reasons. The second hypothesis assumes that parents do not pay attention to the time and type of programmes that children watch, even at a very early age when children are most vulnerable. The theoretical part consists of two chapters. The first chapter describes the position and importance of a TV set (as an object), television (as an institution) and television programmes (as watched audiovisual contents) in our households, and deals with the influence of television on the socialisation of the child in the family. The second chapter describes both positive and negative influences of media (television...

ELPIDA o.p.s. - Life in the information age - impact of the cycle on graduates
Kottnauerová, Kamila ; Miessler, Jan (advisor) ; Švecová, Martina (referee)
My work is based on cooperation with the non-profit organization Elpida o.p.s, which offers education to the elderly in various fields. One of the areas is media literacy. For the third year in a row, this company has been organizing a cycle called Life in the Information Age, which aims to deepen the knowledge and skills of the elderly in today's complicated world of information through lectures led by experts. The reason for choosing the topic of this work was mainly the fact that this comprehensive project in the field of media literacy's education of the elderly is absolutely unique in the Czech Republic. The main research question was whether graduates of this cycle are more media literate than the elderly in the general population. To answer this question, I compiled a questionnaire, which in its knowledge section contained questions that examined the orientation of the respondents in key areas of media literacy. Data collection took place in two phases, first I had the questionnaire completed by the graduates of the course Life in the Information Age, then I sent the same questionnaire to the selected elderly from the general population. I then compared the results of both groups and came to the conclusion that the graduates of the cycle answered in the knowledge section of the questionnaire...

Institutions in natural gas trade between the European union and Russia
Švecová, Martina ; Svoboda, Karel (advisor) ; Lídl, Václav (referee)
The bachelor thesis aims to identify and comprehensively present institutions that enter in the natural gas trade relation between the European Union as an importer and the Russia Federation as a supplier. It analyses the objectives that were set, how these objectives were determined and seeks factors that influence the institutional development path. In the first part, the thesis introduces each actor of the cooperation separately - on the European Union side, it focuses on the construction of a coherent European common energy policy, while for Russia it explains the key role of energies in the redefined state policy strategy. In the second part, the author examines common EU-Russia energy institutions, primarily the Energy Dialogue, which was opened in 2000. Despite certain positive results reached in some areas of this cooperation framework, the progress is rather slow due to a significant difference in the two partners' perception of the policy path towards the mutually formulated goals. The last part specifies and discusses three factors forming the context of the EU-Russia gas trade and, finally, the case studies provide insight into actual events. It has been found that the energy relations are shaped by a noticeable mistrust between actors, which exists not only between the EU and Russia...

Selected auxological aspects of menarche
Švecová, Martina ; Krásničanová, Hana (advisor) ; Zemková, Daniela (referee)
Thesis aims to analyze some auxological aspects of menarche in a sample of peripubertal school-aged Prague girls. Sample PRAHA 2012 consists of 293 girls from Prague within the age ranging from 11,00 - 14,99 years. Ascertained median age of menarche 12,4 years is significantly lower (p = 0,0004) than median of Prague population - 13,04 years, respectively lower than median age of menarche of Czech population - 13,00 years according to data from the last national anthropological survey (CAV 2001). Our investigation suggests a "break off" in long-term stagnation age of menarche (minus 0,6 year) at least in a urban population in Czech Republic. According to our findings deceleration age of menarche wasn't accompanied by increase of average body height or other nutritional characteristics (body weight, BMI, arm circumference, thickness of skinfolds) in comparison with actual pediatrics standards. Though, there is a clearly evidence that participant's body composition affected age of menarche. A comparison of premenarcheal (n = 139) and postmenarcheal (n = 154) girls of the same age showed statistically significant elevated values in body weight (42,5 kg, 47,6 kg vs 56,3 kg, 54,1 kg), BMI (17,6 kg/mš, 18,3kg/mš vs 21,3 kg/mš, 20,7 kg/mš) and percentage of body fat (19,4%, 19,7% vs 24,5% a 23,1%) at...
