Seismic Site Effects (Data Analysis and Modelling)
Caserta, Arrigo ; Zahradník, Jiří (advisor) ; Růžek, Bohuslav (referee) ; Burjánek, Jan (referee)
A comprehensive study of the soil shaking under the seismic wave-field ex- citation is presented. It includes theoretical, geological, geotechnical, data analysis and numerical simulations aspects. The aim is to quantify the main parameters allowing the estimate of the soil shaking in urban areas for better mitigating seismic risk due to future earthquakes. The city of Rome has been chosen as a case study because of its high density of popula- tion and large concentration of historical monuments with high earthquake vulnerability. This study improves significantly the knowledge concerning the detailed near-surface geology of the chosen study area of Rome, ful- fills the absence both of knowledge concerning its geotechnical properties and earthquake data recordings in the city. Among others, it allows for a better explanation of the spatial damage pattern observed in the city due to earthquakes in the past. The main innovations include the construction and long-term operation a seismic array in the city, analysis of the natural seismic noise, and instrumental recordings of the 2009 L'Aquila earthquake sequence. The 3D array (including a borehole sensor at 70-m depth) is the first one in Italy planned, realized and operated within an urban area, and the first one that recorded a significant earthquake in...

Ancient History in comics
Dragounová, Veronika ; Kepartová, Jana (advisor) ; Zdichynec, Jan (referee)
The subject of this thesis is comic books which are in themes and subject matter devoted to the history of ancient Greece and Rome. Attention is paid to comic books which were published from the beginning of the genre up to the present day, with the intention to document the largest spectrum of content and various conceptions of illustration. The goal is to analyse these publications both from the perspective of structure and, most importantly, from the viewpoint of factual correctness. The thesis pays attention to the concept of a story and to the author's intention to educate the reader; but taking into consideration that these books are fictional with the main purpose to entertain the reader. This aim is closely connected to another substantial objective of the thesis, which is to evaluate the benefit of these publications for children's literature and to consider the adequancy, whether the amount of factual knowledge is suitable for the intended child or juvenile reader. The potential use and application in the teaching of ancient history within the framework of school history teachers or other educational programs is also taken into consideration.

In the Federal Republic of Germany, John Paul II has become a personality who aroused not only polite interest, but also an increasing controversy over the time. The diploma thesis conducts a survey of the exact causes of the distance to his personality as well as the factors of not adoring perception in the Federal Republic of Germany. Part of the work deals with the quantitative media analysis, which provides a media image of John Paul II. in selected periodicals in connection to the announcement of Pope's canonization (July 5, 2014) and subsequent canonization (April 27, 2014).

Špaček, Martin ; Němcová Tejkalová, Alice (advisor) ; Trunečka, Ondřej (referee)
This diploma thesis named "The media image of the 1956 and 1960 Summer Olympic Games in the Czechoslovak contemporary press" follows the media coverage of the XVI. Summer Olympic Games in Melbourne in 1956 and the XVII. Summer Olympics in Rome in 1960, in selected Czechoslovak periodicals. To establish a media image, the diploma thesis utilises a qualitative content analysis, comparing the transformation of Olympic news reporting in Melbourne and Rome. It focuses on media content and its permeation through the communist ideology. The thesis is divided into a theoretical and methodological part. The theoretical part begins with the historical development of Czechoslovakia after 1948, when the Communists seized power, and then characterizes the "melting period". The thesis also inquires into the development of media in Czechoslovakia in the 1950s with an emphasis on media legislation, including the introduction of selected periodicals: Rudé Právo (Red Law), Svobodné slovo (Free Word) and Československý sport (Czechoslovak Sport).

Hodková, Kateřina ; Zdichynec, Jan (advisor) ; Kepartová, Jana (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the depiction of antiquity in historical novels by Jarmila Loukotková. The work first defines the concept of the "historical novelˮ and its tradition, with an emphasis on its development in the Czech lands. The next part of the work focuses on the personality of Jarmila Loukotková and her work in the literary field. In the last part the bachelor thesis focuses on the historical period discussed in selected novels by the writer. This is followed by an analysis of the historical novels about the ancient period, namely There is no Roman people (1949) and Laughter underneath a mask (1977), in terms of historical credibility. For comparison, I used Tacitus's Annales, Polybius's History IV, Plutarch's Parallel Biographies of Famous Greeks and Romans, and Suetoniusʼs Biographies of Twelve Emperors. The last part of my bachelor's thesis will focus on how the everyday life of ancient Rome is depicted in selected novels by J. Loukotková. I will pay the greatest attention to how the coexistence of man and woman is treated in the novels. KEYWORDS reflexion of antiquity; historical novel; Jarmila Loukotková; Rome; emperor Nero; Terence; dealing with historical facts; There is no Roman people; Petronius; Laughter underneath a mask; Czech literature of 20th century
