Meditation, contemplation, spirituality in art
Dunajová, Karolína ; Fulková, Marie (advisor) ; Jakubcová Hajdušková, Lucie (referee)
This thesis focuses on the concepts of meditation, contemplation and spirituality in visual art. It tries to explain and describe them in the framework of artistic creation in historical and contemporary contexts, in general terms, but also in pedagogical and didactic theories and approaches. The aim of the thesis is to introduce the reader to these concepts within art, pedagogical theory and practice, and to find out how other educators work with these issues within art classes. The theoretical part describes various artistic movements, tendencies, approaches and inspirational perspectives on the themes of meditation, contemplation and spirituality through visual or performative works and artist's statements. The practical part includes the artist's approach to these themes in her own artistic elaboration of the artist's work realized outdoors. In the didactic part, specific artistic tasks and procedures are formulated, which are realized by the pupils of the Primary Art School in Štětí. The didactic work is concluded with a questionnaire survey of 23 respondents of primary and art schools. The results show how teachers work with the concepts in the school and personal level, in what ways they enrich the spiritual life of pupils in the context of teaching and where they look for suggestions,...

Sociological aspects of impulsive shopping.
Pfeiferová, Jitka ; Osuský, Michal (advisor) ; Buchtík, Martin (referee)
This thesis concerns topic of decision-making, primarily whether is it more rational or irrational process and what does it imply. To make the topic more concrete the thesis and qualitative research, which is its important part, is focused on decision making during shopping. The research is aimed at exploring proportion of rational and irrational purchases, course of whole process and factors which influence it. Starting point represents result of published research, which says that 70% of purchases are impulsive (unplanned) and therefore decision-making and people themselves are irrational. However research conducted within this thesis shows, that irrationality and impulsivity are probably two different categories which should not be confused together. After defining what does "irrational purchase" exactly mean it seems that respondents made circa 20% of irrational purchases while impulsive were 65% of purchases. Thus decision-making appears to be more rational, which leads to consideration, how could it work in general. Another important issue addressed in the thesis is existence of emotions as unconscious impulses which initiate and affect decision-making. The research indicates their existence, at that in all categories of purchases (even planned and rational).

Stock Price Bubbles
Li, Xiaokun ; Musílek, Petr (advisor) ; Veselý, Marek (referee)
Economic bubbles are playing an increasingly significant role in the current global economy. We believe these bubbles are to a certain extent dominating the real economy, and, therefore, research based on this specific economic phenomenon is becoming increasingly popular and important. The focus of this master's thesis is based upon analysis of stock price bubbles. This thesis contains author analyzed historical cases representative of stock price bubbles; summarizations of their traditional features; common factors causing their formation; and reasons leading to their bursting. Solutions to the dilemma of stock price bubbles are discussed in depth, and emphasis is placed upon clearly deciphering different theoretical approaches regarding this phenomenon-not only from the efficient market hypothesis viewpoint but also from the perspective of behavioral finance. The research contains testing and measuring methodologies of stock price bubbles, and the author's view concerning them is strongly supported by the results within the empirical data-testing chapter. Upon reading, one can expect to achieve a basic overview of this forefront science.

Models with rational expectation.
Bechyňák, Petr ; Pánková, Václava (advisor) ; Havrlant, David (referee)
Práce popisuje vývoj konceptu mekonomického očekávání od extrapolativního, přes adaptivní až po racionální, včetně modelů, v nichž byla tato očekávání použita. V druhé části je odvozen a popsán model, využívající právě racionální očekávání. Tento agregovaný makroekonomický model je pak aplikován na prostředí ČR. Je zde testován i samotný předpoklad racionálního očekávání, což je myšlenka novější, než samotný model.
