Emergency Powers as a part of presidential powers
Antonínová, Aneta ; Kotábová, Věra (advisor) ; Hudec, Jiří (referee)
The President of the United States has numerous powers. Many of them are explicitly granted by the Constitution or delegated by the Congress, however as the presidential office developed over the time, many of the presidents started to adopt inherent powers. Their legitimacy comes from president's position as the head of the executive branch. The subject of this thesis, emergency powers, is one counted as one of the inherent powers. The goal of this thesis is to analyze the use of emergency powers by presidents and to inspect their controversial aspects that come from their problematic nature and uncertain position within the American political system, especially in relation to other branches of the government, notably the Congress and the Supreme Court.

FUNCTION AND APPEARANCE OF DOUBLE BASS IN THE LIFETIME OF W. A. MOZART
Hudec, Pavel ; HUDEC, Jiří (advisor) ; ŽALUD, Radomír (referee)
The double bass is among all the other string instruments a very rare one, as to it’s
original development, which differs from the other string instruments. It does not have a
unified number of strings and tuning, as one of the last instruments being currently used. I
would like to put an emphasis on the fact, that the name of W. A. Mozart is figuring only as
an orientation in time, as a kind of brackets to defy the period, which I am describing. It is
also a symbolism; Mozart’s name is very closely related to the city of Vienna, which has in
his time witnessed successes of double bass as a solo as well as a chamber instrument.
In my work I would like to concentrate mainly on this period, and on the periods being
closely related to it and show the different ways and purposes, how this instrument was
being used. For a more authentic look into this age I also translate some crucial
documents, which have not been translated to the Czech language yet. The main aim of
this work is to give a general view about three main countries, where the musical life was
being formed, that is to say in France, Italy, and the German speaking countries.
