Kloužková, Eliška ; Weiss, Tomáš (advisor) ; Šlosarčík, Ivo (referee)
After Russia's aggression in 2022, many countries, including the neutral nations of Switzerland and Ireland, had to reconsider their approaches to European security.

Respondents in both countries have a positive attitude toward neutrality, do not wish to abandon it, but understand the need for cooperation with other states. It can be concluded that neither country has undergone major changes, such as joining NATO or altering their neutrality, after February 2022, nor are...

Electronic Elections as a Phenomenon and Potential of 21st Century
Fiedler, Jan ; Stauber, Jakub (advisor) ; Brunclík, Miloš (referee)
The Master's thesis examines the phenomenon of electronic elections in the definition of an alternative method of remote voting via the Internet and combines the approach of a survey paper and a case study. The theoretical basis of the thesis is a description of the concept of e- democracy, postal voting and electronic elections, a definition of the typology of this alternative method and the accentuated risks, a summary of the general development of the debate in the Czech environment and an analysis of the process of the initial phase of implementation of electronic elections in the electoral systems of Estonia, Norway and Switzerland. The theoretical background is followed by an analytical section on these selected countries, which examines the characteristics of case-by-case approaches to the implementation and risks of e- elections and the potential impacts on selected indicators such as voter turnout and global state of democracy indices. The analysis of the aspects is conducted in a consecutive and separate categorical framework, whereby the issues are viewed from the specific perspectives of the countries in question, taking into account the differences in political systems. Final implications and conclusions are drawn in the context of a higher level of relevance based on a comparison of...

Thermal baths Yverdon, five senses in architecture
Kupcová, Tereza ; Křikavová, Iva (referee) ; Koleček, Ivan (advisor)
Spa is located on the outskirts of the Swiss city of Yverdon. Area is surrounded by disparate buildings especially residential character. There are historical buildings on the land and buildings of the spa and hotel. The current spa and the outbuilding of hotel don´t meet requirements, that´s why the buildings will be replaced by a new complex. Neighbourhood doesn´t have any relationship with the spa, that´s why the whole land is surrounded by a wall. Water surface with three “floating” pavilions is inserted into this closed spa park. There are the public spa, the therapeutic spa and the part of the hotel on the water surface. Each of them works largely independently; they are connected by the water surface. The complex is separated by a part of shallow water from the park. It´s solitaire in the park, but it has close connection with it. The spa complex is located near the forest on the south part of the land, because the whole system is quite open.
