Separatism in the perspective of Indonesian neo-imperialism
Kvapil, Jakub ; Riegl, Martin (advisor) ; Landovský, Jakub (referee)
This Bachelor thesis is focused on the theme of two cases of secesionist movements on the territory of Indonesia, particulary on Aceh and East Timor. These liberational movements in both regions evolve their activities in different historical, cultural, ethnical, religional and political background. It is common to both of them though, that they are trying to attain independence, which in case of East Timor is eventually reached, not so in Aceh. This is why this thesis is comparing the key elements of both of the movements and is trying to clarify the most important aspects of their actions. The thesis is composed of two parts, first of them focusing on documentation of the history of Indonesia, being the main actor, whose political evolution is determining for both chosen regions. The historical development and political environment of both of these regions is documented here as well. In the second part a comparission using the research questions is made to clarify the most important differences and similarities of both cases.

The bachelor thesis applies to polygyny in Church of Jesus Christ of Letter-Day
Saints, its past and present. It contains part which describes history of church, because it is
significant for the very evolution of polygyny and the attention is especially given directly
to history of polygyny. There are not many sources in Czech language, which describe the

interviews are included in the whole thesis, mostly in the part of research for which they

Causes and consequences of extremism in Czech republic
NOVÝ, Vít
Extremism is an underestimated threat of democratic system in these days. The majority of people are not aware of ideas of separate extremists groups and they can not evaluate possible menace. The statistics dealing with extremism made by Police of the Czech Republic show gradual but continuous growth of members of extremists groups. It is a question, which prediction for the progress of extremism will be correct and whether the extremism in the Czech Republic will stay in his latent form. The big difficulty of this problem is a definition of extremism. This term is not involved in the penalty law, because it is a term of politics science. Extremism is generally known as a terrorism or more precisely as an Islamic terrorism. The issue of this bachelor thesis is extremism in his basic form. So the main aim is to notify the situation of extremism in the Czech Republic, especially in Trhové Sviny, the basic illegal activities of extremist groups, delinquent behaviour and possible threats of extremism for society. Moreover it describes attitudes of the citizens of Trhové Sviny, their knowledge in this sphere and it points out a possible prevention of aggression. In the practical part of this bachelor thesis I have found out that the majority of asked people are afraid of extremism, in spite of the fact that they don{\crq}t notice any extremists groups or their activities in their neighbourhood. It is interesting, that the right-form extremism is considered as a more dangerous form. The solution of the extremism is very complicated and it needs complex and systematic changes. One step for improving the situation could be greater preventive activities in basic schools. Next step could be the creation of project, which would specialize on free-time activities of children and adults and it could be also used as a control element of potential extremists.
