Public Opinion on Performance of President Petr Pavel - June/July 2023
Červenka, Jan
In its regular survey in June and July 2023 the Public Opinion Research Centre focused on questions concerning the Petr Pavel's presidency.\n\nIn all areas examined, positive evaluations prevailed over critical ones.\n\nRelatively most favorably, the Czech public rated how the president takes care of the seriousness and dignity of his office (78%) and how he represents the Czech Republic abroad (76%).\n\nCzech citizens were the most critical of how the president influences the internal politics (30%) and how he is in contact with citizens and knows their problems (29%).\n\nCompared to his predecessors Václav Havel, Václav Klaus and Miloš Zeman the current assessment of president Petr Pavel is relatively good, as a better evaluation of any of examined aspects of presidential performance was just rarely seen.

Gřešák, Martin ; Gronský, Ján (advisor) ; Hřebejk, Jiří (referee)
Diploma thesis "The Head of State in the constitutional system of the Czech Republic: de iure and de facto" discourses both provisions, which integrate the institution of the president of the republic in constitution, and the virtual implementation of this uppermost authority in the state. At the beginning, the thesis deals with the historical dimension of the issue. It speaks of the general development and history of the office in Czech lands. Hereupon a depiction of the theoretical extent of this office follows. A large verge is devoted to the placement and the powers of the president in the constitution. The pragmatic part of the thesis consists of two case studies. The first one deals with the presidency of Václav Havel. The second one deals with the execution of the office by Václav Klaus. An extra attention is paid to the analysis of the accordance between the theoretical and pragmatic pursuance of the office of president of the Czech Republic.

Vaclav's Havel second presidential term 1990 - 1992
Halamíček, David ; Stracený, Josef (advisor) ; Samek, Tomáš (referee)
The work is dealing with Vaclav Havel's second presidential term, namely with three aspects which were determining fulfilment of his duties. It is specifically focusing on break up of Czechoslovakia, economic transformation of the country and Havel's opinion of voting systems. The work is trying to prove interconnection of these three points and offers a detailed insight into the matter. It then shows that Vaclav Havel as the last Czechoslovak president had to face these issues and lead an uneven battle with them. There is a stress on shorter two year term of lawmakers which influenced negative development in both parts of the country and why Havel insisted so much on it. KEYWORDS Break up of Czechoslovakia, economic transformation, electoral system

Comparison of Shifts in the Intersemiotic and Interlingual Translation of Leaving by Václav Havel.
Korábová, Zuzana ; Špirk, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Málek, Petr (referee)
The central focus of this Master's thesis is to describe, explain and classify intersemiotic translation within current translation studies. Given the interdisciplinary nature of the thesis, the theoretical part draws inspiration also from aesthetics, semiotics, adaptation, literary and film studies. Our findings are applied to the empirical material - interlingual and intersemiotic translation of Leaving by Václav Havel. Both translations are thoroughly analysed and the identified shifts are classified into categories primarily inspired by Anton Popovič's model of translation (1975, 1983). Comparison proved that the approach to intersemiotic translations/film adaptations as interlingual translation works. Although, there was a need to create new categories for some shifts in the film adaptation. Based on that, we propose a new model of intersemiotic translation, which could serve as inspiration for further research.

Fictional languages in literature
Jelínek, Jiří ; Hrdlička, Josef (advisor) ; Pokorný, Martin (referee)
The purpose of this thesis is to introduce the so far ignored topic of fictional languages in literature. In the first part it focuses mainly on the function of the fictional languages in the literary works, and analyses the basic options of the fictional languages classification, based on whether they can be labeled as an independent work of art, as an autonomous part of a work, or as an instrument of the aesthetic function in the work. Furthermore, it divides the fictional languages in accordance to the way in which they take effect, either through the expression-form, through the expression- substance, through the content-form, or through the content-substance, taking the terminology from the Louis Hjelmslev's sign model. The second part consists of the analysis of the cases of fictional language usage in prose; these usages are grouped into three divisions. Languages, which help to create an invented world (and eventually add up to its authenticity), are represented by J. R. R. Tolkien's fictional languages. The dystopian languages include Newspeak from the novel Nineteen Eighty Four by George Orwell, ptydepe and chorukor from the play The Memorandum by V. Havel, and "Moon Czech" from the prose The True Excursion of Mr. Brouček to the Moon by S. Čech. Fictional languages related to philosophy are...
