Simmel's work reflection in Bauman's writings
Nop, Michal ; Petrusek, Miloslav (advisor) ; Balon, Jan (referee)
Reflection of Sim m el's work in Baum an's writings This paper aims to compare the writings of Georg Simmel with the work of Zygmunt Bauman. It is checked up in which substantial areas, as well as sociological methods, Zygmunt Bauman has followed Georg Simmel. In the first chapter there is described the objective and methods of this thesis. In this paper an application of comparative method prevails. The examined phenomenon is decomposed into elementary components that are subsequently compared. Bauman appreciates Simmel especially for his way of writing; however, he follows him also in substantial matters. The use of sociological essay is typical of works of both authors. Both speak about intersubjectivity, not about objectivity. This is typical of post-modem authors. Simmel and Bauman use a concept of "social type" for their explanations. Both explain phenomena with the aid of ambivalence. Simmel and Bauman are both focused on the life in a metropolis. They delineate a way of life there, and try to show alienating consequences for a human being. In the second chapter of this paper I try to trace substantial forces that could influence a way of work of both authors, and furthermore, I try to discover similarities and differences. Both are Jews; for this reason they had often problems in their life...

Simulation of the operation of the hospital department
Olejár, Filip ; Dlouhý, Martin (advisor) ; Kuncová, Martina (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with the solution to a real situation that occurred at Nemocnice Na Františku in Prague. The problem is solved by using a computer simulation in SIMUL8 simulation program. At the beginning I describe the theoretical foundations that are afterwards used as a basis for the main practical part. The main subject of the work is a simulation of an operation of the hospital outpatient department. The hospital management decided to change the system for handling patients operations. I have created simulation models for particular workday and weekend means of patients serving operations. The created simulation models and their outputs are evaluated in the final part of the thesis and will serve as a basis for making reorganization decisions in the hospital. The provided advice for hospital management fulfills the goal of this thesis.

The American Identity in the Works of David Mamet and Sam Shepard
Sičák, Michal ; Wallace, Clare (advisor) ; Ulmanová, Hana (referee)
In my thesis I focused on the matter of the relationship of Americans during the decades after World War II to their own identity, as well as to the myths of the West or consumer society. I wanted to compare these aspects on plays by Sam Shepard and David Mamet, two playwrights concerned with similar issues in 1960s and 1970s. In the theoretical part of the thesis I concentrated on the development of the American theater off Broadway. I described three significant theater groups of the era and the differences in their approach. I based the comparison of the plays on Richard Schechner's performance theory and J. L. Austin's theory of the so-called "performatives." Later I discussed the matters of rituals and myths in the postmodern society where I based my theory especially on Victor Turner's and Marie Maclean's work. The two main chapters are dealing with comparing two plays by each author with regard to the way Shepard and Mamet work with rituals and modern myths. Those are considered commonplace, insufficient, almost misleading in a modern society, and the plays' characters thus cannot cope with the society. They end up being on its outer edge and do not seem to be able to find the way back. As a result of the comparison of the plays based on the theoretical part I concluded that even though from the...

Oldřich Králík, textual critic and editor (based on Bezruč material)
Kosák, Michal ; Špirit, Michael (advisor) ; Wiendl, Jan (referee) ; Opelík, Jiří (referee)
Based on Bezruč material, the present thesis entitled Oldřich Králík, Textual Critic and Editor chronologically follows the establishing and development of textological concepts and editorial approaches ofthe said scholar. The central topic is dosely connected with terms of Králík's stratigraphy, synchrony and diachrony, as well as the genetic method. Králík's method is built on temp oral attribution; therefore, the problem of the dating of Bezruč' s work is of crucial importance for the thesis' argument. The thesis also confronts Oldřich Králík' s textological and editorial views with those ofhis opponents. In the series of scholarly disputes, Czech textual criticism defined its subject matter, attempting to define its position within the context of other sciences and humanities, especially linguistics, philology and literary theory, as well as taking its stand in regard to historiography. Simultaneously, fundamental working modes were formulated. Exceeding the home field, the disputes moved to the intemationallevel through the textological/editorial department ofthe Intemational Commitiee ofSlavic Languages. Among others, the debates resulted in the so-called manual of practical text criticism, Editor and Text, published in 1971, which has strongly influenced Czech editorial practice to the present day.
