Impact of English on the Modern Hindi
Svobodová, Blanka ; Kostič, Svetislav (advisor) ; Vacek, Jaroslav (referee)
The aim of this thesis was to provide a description of the linguistic behaviour and repertoire of the speakers of Hindi from the so-called middle-class of the capital city of Delhi, who come into contact with native speakers of English in their employment and everyday life. Therefore, the thesis starts with CHAPTER ONE, where I described and explained the methodology and material used (1.1.0), provided a definition of the middle class in India and its determinants (1.2.0.) in view to my respondents and thirdly gave a detailed insight into the multicultural and multilingual situation in Delhi (1.3.0.), where all of the respondents live. In CHAPTER TWO, I demonstrated the evolution of the language presently known as Hindi, i.e. a language that has been influenced and enriched by various cultures and languages, both from the internal sources such as the Sanskrit based words tatsama (2.1.1.), Hindi based words tadbhava (2.1.2.) and vernacular words called desi (2.2.) as well as external sources, such as Arabic (2.3.1.), Turkish (2.3.2.), Urdu (2.3.3.) or Persian (2.3.4.) and especially the linguistic influences connected with the European Colonial Powers, such as Portuguese (2.4.1.) and above all English (2.4.2.), whose influence started to be felt from the second half of the 19th century and culminated in the...

Antimicrobial activity of selected Peruvian medicinal plants
Svobodová, Blanka ; Bosáková, Zuzana (referee)
In frame of this work, antimicrobial activity of ethanol extracts from 14 plants (belonging to 13 families) traditionally used in Peruvian folk medicine for the treatment of various infections was tested against 9 bacteria and 1 yeast by broth microdilution method. For 7 of which this is the first report of antimicrobial activity. Abuta grandifolia, Maytenus macrocarpa, Naucleopsis glabra and Pterocarpus rohrii inhibiting all tested microbial strains at MICs ranging from 0.25 to 8 mg/ml; 0.125 to 0.25 mg/ml; 0.0625 to 4 mg/ml and 0.25 to 16 mg/ml, respectively, were considered as potentially prospective sources of new bioactive substances.

Svobodová, Blanka ; Dvořáková, Markéta (referee) ; Kolář, Zdeněk (advisor)
Tato práce si klade za cíl zmapování problematiky hodnocení ve škole se zaměřením na motivační funkci hodnocení. Teoretická část práce je věnována hodnocení obecně. Zaměřuje se na cíle hodnocení, na formy jejich dosažení, dopad hodnocení na osobnost žáka a utváření sebepojetí, dále na chyby v hodnocení např. nálepkování, naučenou bezmocnost, . . . Zvlášť se práce zaměřuje na analýzu motivační funkce hodnocení. Empirická část práce se zaměřuje na formu převažující motivace a na podílu sebehodnocení žáka v současné škole. Tato část je realizována prostřednictvím dílčí výzkumné sondy. Cílem této sondy je potvrdit či vyvrátit stanovenou hypotézu, která čerpá z teoretické analýzy problematiky školního hodnocení.

The English influence on Hindī
Svobodová, Blanka ; Vacek, Jaroslav (referee) ; Kostič, Svetislav (advisor)
Hindi is the official language of India and a predominant language in the so-called Hindi belt, i.e. the states and territories of Himachal Pradesh, Delhi, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Uttaranchal, Jharkhand, Rajasthan and Chattisgarh. Outside these areas, Hindi is widely spoken in cities such as Mumbai, Hyderabad or Kolkatta as well. Furthermore, according to the 1998 survey it is the second most spoken language in the world, with 333 million native speakers, i.e. 40 % of the Indian population. 1 Besides, Hindi is used by another 300 million lndians as their second language and by another 8 million speakers outside of India. Thus this number includes both the countries where Hindi is the common second language, such as Mauritius, Fiji, Trinidad, Guyana or Surinam and the countries, where Hindi is the first language of large Indian communities settled all over the world, such as South Africa, Yemen, Uganda, Northern America, Great Britain, Australia, Germany etc. Concerning the linguistic point of view, Hindi belongs to a vast family of lndo-European languages, particularly to its lndo-Aryan branch. lt is a descendent of Sanskrit, the earliest speech of the Aryan conquerors who settled in the north-west frontiers of India around 2000 BC. The history of Sanskrit dates more than three...
