Andská španělština jako produkt kontaktu s kečuánštinou a ajmarštinou Andean Spanish as a product of contact with Quechua and Aymara Disertační práce Vedoucí práce: Vlastimil Rataj 2014 prof. PhDr. Bohumil Zavadil, CSc. Abstrakt Andská španělština je varianta španělštiny používané v andských oblastech od jižní Kolumbie po severozápadní Argentinu a vznikla jako produkt kontaktu s místními indiánskými jazyky, kečuánštinou a ajmarštinou. V této práci, na základě kvalitativního zpracování části korpusu získaného při terénním výzkumu v jižním Peru (Cuzco), analyzuji některé typické rysy místní andské španělštiny, srovnávám je s kečuánštinou a snažím se prokázat, zda se jedná o transferenci z kečuánštiny. V úvodních částech je přehled klasifikace americké španělštiny v andských zemích, základní informace o místních indiánských jazycích a popis kečuánské gramatiky srovnávaný se španělštinou. V závěru práce je přehled studovaných jevů.

Lima: Problems of Latin-American metropolis in context and mutual interaction
Rataj, Martin ; Janský, Bohumír (advisor) ; Křížová, Markéta (referee)
This thesis is devoted to the complex of problems which characterize Latin American metropolis on the threshold of the 21st century. It is illustrated in the example of the Peruvian capital Lima which cumulates high amount of the symptomatic maladies of the urbanized areas in this part of the World. The emphasis is mostly put on the issue of the internal migration in Peru and its consequence in a radical change of urbanization, especially the fast growth of the slums on the peripheries. The work also deals with the phenomena which are closely connected with it - criminality, decline in quality of life in the city and disruption of its structures, exhausted environment and predisposition to davastation caused by natural disasters. The aim is to show the coherence of above- mentioned aspects, their common origin and to put them in the context of problems in Peru when the main accent is on the aspect of poverty and cultural-racial barrier.

Liberalization of Trade in Peru: Analysis of the Free Trade Agreement with USA and its effect on incomes
Šimůnková, Marta ; Bauer, Michal (advisor) ; Báťa, Karel (referee)
This thesis analyzes the trade liberalization implemented in the form of FTA between Peru and USA in 2009 and its effect on the welfare of different clusters of individuals. In the ambient of economy with high income inequities it evaluates the liberalization separately for different income-level samples. The research is based on the comparison of groups of individuals occupied in sectors that were already liberalized by other market opening tools before 2009 and groups recently affected by the FTA. The analysis is than accomplished on the household survey panel data covering the period between 2007 and 2010. The findings suggest the trade liberalization positively affected not only the wealthier population but also the poor, both from the category of individuals working in sectors producing for domestic consumption. The positive effect on export-oriented producers hasn't been approved.

Peace Settlement of Territorial Dispute: Ecuador-Peru case study
Rigó, Michael ; Soukup, Jaromír (advisor) ; Karlas, Jan (referee)
This thesis analyses the peace process between Ecuador and Peru and stimulates discussion in the field of conflict resolution. On Monday, October 26th, 1998, President of Peru Alberto Fujimori and Ecuador Jamil Mahuad Witt signed an international agreement that ended more than 150 years lasting territorial conflict. A series of hostile acts and armed conflicts have accompanied these neighbouring states for decades. Four states became the guarantor of the peace treaty: Brazil, the United States, Argentina and Chile. Complicated negotiations began in 1995 after a short war on the Cenepa River. The negotiating teams of the guaranteeing states used various mediation strategies, including the organization of negotiations, sanctions and financial incentives. The aim of this qualitative case study is an analysis of the causes of successful mediation performed by the guaranteeing states. The research follows the theoretical part, which describes the so-called contingency approach and ripeness theory.

Government Policies of Isolated Indigenous Peoples and their Successes and Failures
Scholz, Eric ; Krausz Hladká, Malvína (advisor) ; Soukup, Jaromír (referee)
Since the expansion of globalization and the mapping of the world, mostly by Europeans, there has been a massive shift in the ways of life for many groups throughout the world. When these groups met each other one, often the Europeans, the almost always more technologically advanced group, dominated the others and brought them into a globalizing world. After centuries of this, some of these groups continue to exist in their traditional lifestyles, having not been integrated into Europeanized societies or the globalized world, and often still living, quite literally, naked in the hinterlands. This research offers a unique analysis as to how these groups are treated by modern societies, with emphasis on their legal status and protections, and the material outcome of these policies. This includes things like if the groups were successfully integrated, or if they are suffering from pollution, violence, discrimination, or other factors. Three case studies are chosen: India, Peru, and Brazi, for their unique positions in being home to many of these groups.

Contamination of Peruvian drinking water by arsenic and boron - origin, properties and treatment
Sadloň, Matúš ; Stejskal, Vojtěch (advisor) ; Cencarová, Vendula (referee)
Excessive arsenic and boron concentrations determined in natural waters within the Department of Tacna in southern Peru are associated with active Andean volcanism, being further exacerbated by the ongoing mining activity in the area. Both arsenic and boron concentrations at five investigated sites significantly exceed the maximum permissible limits determined by the World Health Organisation and the Peruvian legislation for drinking water, thus affecting the health and wellbeing of the local population. Due to the remoteness of the area of interest, which lacks infrastructure, skilled human resources as well as capital, Photon Water Technology s.r.o. has come up with a solution based on the use of small water treatment plants operating on the principle of reverse osmosis in combination with a commercial remediation product Katalox Light® . This product enables the formation of alkaline conditions needed for proper complexation of boron into B(OH)4 - (aq), which is better remediated by the proposed technology. Reverse osmosis can remediate arsenic, although the efficiency of As removal depends on the chemical composition of natural waters at the investigated sites. Laboratory experiments have been focused to prove the viability of Katalox Light® for enhancing the rate of boron removal within the designed...

Renewable energy sources in the Cusco region, Peru
Idini, Bruno
This thesis breaks down some of the major forms of renewable energy that are found in the region of Cusco. Several energy sources are assessed while presenting their relevance and suitability for the territory’s unique landscape and environment. After having analysed different forms of renewable energies, hydropower is the one believed to be the better option for the region, in order to progress within a clean energy framework. Aiming to ease the process of identifying and evaluating prospect locations, for the installation of hydro powered systems, a Hydropower Preliminary Assessment Table is presented. The Table is designed to act as a guidance paper, which can support decision making. The different sections that are found on the Table are extensively discussed, in addition to its results and limitations.

Sport jako součást programu léčby drogové závislosti: případová studie centra Takiwasi v Peru
Šelong, Vojtěch
This diploma thesis examines the influence of sport activity on human drug addiction, as well as the influence of coaching on the quality and benefits of sport exercises in the group and community. Sport is currently not being used as a part of the drug addiction treatment, although it has been a topic in many researches and studies. For a purpose of application of the acquired findings the case study is used to examine options of inclusion of guided sport activities in a drug addiction treatment program. In order of the application, a development project is created to enhance efficiency of drug addiction treatment in Takiwasi centre, Peru, which uses traditional Amazonian medicine to treat drug addiction. In view of the faint use of sport activities in Takiwasi centre, this thesis presents development project proposal to increase the effectiveness of drug treatment in the community of the centre, located in San Martín region.
