Victor Segalen's Chinese "exoticism"
Marková, Josefína ; Lomová, Olga (advisor) ; Chaloupková, Lenka (referee)
The bachelor 's thesis will focus on the relationship to "exotic" China in the work of Victor Segalen. It is based on his own reflections on exoticism, as these reflections are formulated in his Essay on Exoticism (1978), as well as on his poetry collection Steles (1912) and his novel René Leys (1922), works of art inspired by Segalen's encounter with Chinese culture, as concrete examples of the realization of Segalen's aesthetic program. My own analysis will be confronted with the opinions of chinese literary scholars, especially in the perspective of the sympathy for Segalen's interest in Chinese culture on the one hand and the critique of Eurocentrism and orientalistic clichés on the other.

The diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis
CHALOUPKOVÁ, Lenka
Even in 21st century tuberculosis (TBC) pose a significant medical and social problem. Open borders intensified migrations, expansin of AIDS pandemic and related increase of patients with reduced immunity are all reasons why tubercuosis still remains one of the main causes of death all over the world. The disease originator is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, an acidoresistent bacteria that is able to survive in a human organism for a lot of years. Symptoms of the disease are not characteristic, that is why the correct diagnosis is essential to reveal the new cases of the disease. One of the standards to stay is bacteriological examination based on microscopic examination and cultivation of the material. Also rapid molecular genetic techniques and methods based on the immune response are availabe. This work uses data gaied from Plicní léčebna Nemocnice České Budějovice, a.s. (Pulmonary Department of Hospital in České Budějovice) for the period of 2008-2016, as well as data gained from Pracoviště imunologie (Immunolgy Department) in Nemocnice České Budějovice, a.s. The goal of the work was to create a statistical overview of patients with confirmed pulmonary tuberculosis according to age and gender for the period of 2008-2016 . Next it aims at comparison of tuberculin skin test and quantiferon test in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis for the period of 2008 - 2016. Implementation and evaluation of the quantiferon test in patients in 2016 are the end of my work. The methodology was mainly based on gathering the necessary data and their evaluation. Results show that pulmonary tuberculosis was confirmed in 81 patients in relation to data obtained from the Pulmonary Department. Of that 75% were male and only 25% female. For both sexes, the occurrence of tuberculosis was on record in all age categories. In men most often at the age of 31-50 and 51-70. Tuberculin skin test (PPD) and quantiferon (QF) test were also accomplished in 62% of patients. Only in 7% patients none of the tests was done. When the two tests were compared, both PPD and QF tests were positive in 64%. Also the results show that the quantiferon test is more sensitive than the tuberculin skin test. The quantiferon test was evaluated separately for the positive and negative results, positive result was compared with bacteriological examination. Next the QF test was evaluated from the point of view of gender, age, diagnosis and engaged department. A relatively signifcant finding was that even though the QF test is more sensitive, for more than a third of patients with the positive QF test result, mycobacterial identification was not required at all. Compared to bacteriology examination TB was cofirmed in 14% of patients. Despite the fact that the Czech Republic ranks among the countries with a low incidence of tuberculosis, this fact can not be underestimated. The public's feeling that there is no need to worry about this illness has also been supported by the approval of the cancellation of flat vaccinations, effective from 1. 11. 2010. Also, a number of physicians are no longer taking this disease into account while making diagnosis. However, education of lay public is essential above all in this issue.

Proactive and Reactive Approaches in Crisis Management
Chaloupková, Lenka ; Zelená, Veronika (advisor) ; Hajdíková, Taťána (referee)
Increasingly in today's dynamic business environment, serious crises are more often encountered and of increasing severity. The process which is intended to prevent or reduce the damage of a crisis is called Crisis Management. It is a rapidly changing area of business management, since it constantly develops over time, improving and enriching itself with new and better information. The aim of this thesis was to summarize current theoretical knowledge of proactive and reactive approaches in crisis management and to analyse crisis management in a selected company London Mining Plc. The theoretical part was developed through the analysis of currently available scientific literature and specialized publications. The practical part was based on the questionnaire survey method and semi-structured interview. The results showed that although the company was prepared for crises; acted proactively and had drawn up a detailed crisis plan that helped the company avoid many expected crises, the company went into administration due to a crisis caused by force majeure - a result of the falling global price of the main commodity and an unexpected outbreak of the Ebola virus in their principal place of business activity.
