Framing of alcohol in the Czech press and its comparison in the period before and during COVID-19 pandemic
Andresek, Šimon ; Nečas, Vlastimil (advisor) ; Jirák, Jan (referee)
The diploma thesis focuses on how the topic of alcohol consumption was framed in the Czech press in two subsequent periods: 2018-2019 and 2020-2021. The emphasis is put on comparing the findings from both research periods, both in terms of frames and other variables studied, such as the topic, the source cited, or the relationship between the sex of the protagonists and the narrative(s) present. The theoretical part of the thesis discusses the influence of media content on public sphere, through the description of the phenomenon of agenda-setting. Then the framing itself is presented, both through the perspective of the agenda-setting theory (as a subset of it), but also as a completely autonomous phenomenon. Different perspectives on framing are presented which are then illustrated with several spatiotemporally distinct studies that address the media framing of alcohol use. The analytical part consists of two methodological components - qualitative and quantitative content analysis. First, qualitative content analysis is used in order to find and describe issue-specific frames at the forefront of the generic conflict frame. Subsequently, the presence of the described specific conflict narratives in both research periods is quantified and the findings are compared. The results suggest that alcohol...

Analysis of the Phenomenon of Visual Pollution in Prague and Delhi, especially in New Delhi
Andresek, Šimon ; Halada, Jan (advisor) ; Hejlová, Denisa (referee)
The bachelor thesis focuses on the phenomenon of visual pollution and its presence in the Republic of India, in the National Capital Territory of Delhi, in New Delhi, the capital, and in the Czech Republic and its capital, especially in Historic Centre of Prague. First, the space where visual pollution takes place and which could be mostly described as public, is defined by four perspectives based on its different functions and structures. Thereafter, the phenomenon of visual pollution is described both through the broad spectrum of its causes and through the processes of perception and cognition and the aesthetic evaluation of the environment that arises from these psychological processes. The subsequent part is dedicated to the consequences of the presence of visual pollution in public space, especially to the psychological ones. The practical part of this thesis is dedicated to the analysis of legislatïon and real status quo of the presence of visual pollution and the variety of its sources in examined states and especially at the level of particular municipalities. First, the legislation is analysed concerning visual pollution itself and its manifestations at the level of state units. Thereafter, the specific legislative implementations of visual pollution and its primary sources are identified...
