The transformation of the hegemonic party: the case of Mexico
Mrvová, Lucie ; Němec, Jan (advisor) ; Paulenková, Kristína (referee)
In many countries there are several political parties in power. In some of them, however, one party is in a position of hegemony. Other political parties are prevented to exercise their real power and often act only as a parties creating an illusion of democracy in a state where it does not exist. The present thesis deals with the hegemonic party systems in terms of their origin and subsequent transition. The thesis is based on the hypothesis that changing the rules of the hegemonic party will lead it to lose its status and power. As a case study of the hegemonic party regimes serves political system in Mexico, Mozambique and Cambodia. The first chapter defines the notion of a political party, party systems theory and transition mode. The second chapter deals with the hegemonic party systems. The third chapter deals with the case of Mexico and its system of hegemonic party. Findings refute the validity of the above hypothesis, since in many countries, even after the successful completion of the transition, earlier hegemonic parties maintain their power and their electoral support is high.

Specific features of nursing care provided to members of the Church of Scientology.
MATOUŠKOVÁ, Eva
The Church of Scientology was officially registered in Los Angeles in 1954. It is present in more than 150 countries of the world, and is professed by over 8 million people. The founder of the movement is the American author of science fiction and fiction, Laffayete Ron Hubbard, who conducted research in the sphere of the human spirit, summarised in his books "Dianetics". Later on, he focused his research on spiritual beings and their abilities. This gave rise to an applicable religious philosophy - Scientology. It has not been possible to register the Church of Scientology officially in the Czech Republic so far, and therefore it acts as the civil association of "Dianetické centrum" (the Dianetic Centre). The number of its members and sympathisers in this country is not very high, reaching approximately 800 persons. Still, it is important for us to know the differences of this minority, to be able to provide its members with nursing care corresponding to their specific needs. This subject is dealt with by the multi-cultural nursing care studying cultures and religions from the point of view of nursing practice. In connection with globalisation, this subject becomes even more topical. The national, cultural and ethnic structure of the population undergoes gradual changes and the number of foreigners legally residing in the territory of the Czech Republic keeps growing. For this reason, it is important even for nurses to be prepared and have at least the minimum knowledge of multi-cultural / trans-cultural nursing care that will enable them to provide adequate nursing care respecting the specifics in question. The objective of my thesis is to get to know the specific features of nursing care provided to members of the Church of Scientology and to establish the specific features of their life style. To meet the objectives, I set five research questions. Research question 1: Do members of the Church of Scientology have specific needs when they are being provided nursing care? Research question 2: What is the attitude of members of the Church of Scientology to the health care provided in the Czech Republic? Research question 3: Do members of the Church of Scientology have specific spiritual needs? Research question 4: What attitude do members of the Church of Scientology have towards their health? Research question 5: Do members of the Church of Scientology have a specific life style? To collect data for fulfilling my research objectives and obtaining answers to the research questions, I applied the method of qualitative research. To conduct the qualitative research I used the technique of a semi-structured interview with the members of the Church of Scientology attending the Dianetic Centre in Prague. The interview contained altogether 46 questions divided into four areas, and the participants were four men and four women of different ages and different lengths of being members of the Church. The qualitative examination established the main and most distinct specific feature in providing nursing care to members of the Church of Scientology, which is maintaining silence at the time when human mind is weakened. Further, the research showed that scientologists respect physicians and do not exclude them in cases of accidents or danger of life. They normally undergo preventive examinations and do not object to being vaccinated provided that they are supplied with sufficient information. The only exception is psychiatry. Being provided with assists constitutes the only spiritual need, and the Church of Scientology has no specifics in terms of diet. This thesis may be used as a study material for general nurses and students of nursing studies, to expand knowledge in the field of multi-cultural / trans-cultural nursing care, which will facilitate providing culture-specific nursing care to members of this religious minority.

Vajbarová, Radka ; Holcová, Irena (advisor) ; Křesťanová, Veronika (referee)
Copyright protection of computer's programs Summary The mainly points of my thesis are to show and provide with the basic information about the legal protection of computer's programs. This is in my opinion the mainly topic. In my diploma paper I've focused on valid computer's programs legal protection based on the Czech Author Act No. 121/2000 Sb., right of authorship, related rights of authorship and the variation others rights (the right of authorship) and also supportive by criminal rights. This valid legal protection corresponds to Europe's and international law systems. The computer's programs are protected by the rights of authorship like literary work (if they fulfill the conditions mentioned in § 2 art. 1 or § 2 art. 2 rights of authorship). With respect to computer's programs the rights of authorship contain this law special § 65 and § 66 which explain the limitation of the rights. The other points of the thesis are about licence's agreements and about how to get legal computer's program. I also mentioned author's pretension following from the rights of authorship. Regarding to the discussion about protection the programs I mentioned often arguments pro and con rights of patents. Recently European Parliament closed the discussion about draft of the patent's bylaw, but I would say that this case...

Title (Topíc ofthe thesis): Question of a baton exchange during 4x100 m women Student: Josef Nepomucký Supervisor: PhDr. Aleš Kaplan, PhD. Methods: The methodology of the thesis aimed at the evaluation of the relationship between the athletic performance of the 4x100 metres relay and the member of this relay. The following three methods were applied in the thesis: The first procedure focused on the evaluation of the level of the relay exchange according to Dostál (1985), Vonstein (1988) and Oberste & Wiemeyer (1991). The second one analyzed the running technique in four different parts of the relay before the baton exchange. The third one considered the attitudes towards the practice of the relay exchange given the conditions in athletic clubs. Results: The goal of my thesis was to extend the knowledge of the level of a baton exchange in 4x100 meters women. Based on the video recording of individua! competitions and using questionnaires it is possible to conclude that the level ofpreparation ofwomen's relay team is low. There is no regular and systematic preparation since everything is subordinated to the individua! needs of the sprinter. The relay teams kept the same members with some exceptions. The analyzed relay teams achieved average results throughout the year. After making a comparison...
