Šťastná, Dora ; Fabianková, Klára (advisor) ; Chalupecký, Petr (referee)
The thesis focuses on economic development in the Soviet Union in the late 20s and in the first half of the 30s of the 20th century. An accent is placed mainly on collectivisation of agriculture during the first five-year plan. The theoretical part of the thesis is dedicated to the centrally planned economy, previous economic history of the USSR and Stalin's concept of economic policy. The analytical part of the thesis deals with the process of collectivization and evaluation of the social and economic outcomes and consequences, specifically on the territory of Volhynia, where thousands of Czech citizens emigrated. The hypothesis, that Volhynian Czechs were not directly affected by forced collectivization, was disproved. As a result of collectivization the number of czech population in Volhynia decreased by 30%. The first five-year plan featured a big step towards modernization and self-sufficiency of the country, but in the agricultural sector failed.

Ferenčiková, Daniela ; Rethmann, Albert-Peter (advisor) ; Ovečka, Libor (referee)
Ethical questions in the discussion about the euthanasia A birth, a life and a death - all these phenomena present an universal and unnecassary experience of mankind and each individual. Death, then an individual extinction of organism afflicts the human not only in a biological area, but also in a psychological, social and spiritual one. It was self-evident in the past that all the people died at home among their relatives. Nowadays this image has changed. Most of the people die in the hospitals or in the mental institutions. Some people has changed also the understanding of meaning of an incurable illness and their attitude to the suffering and pain. There are people who offer the euthanasia for the incurably ill and their relatives as a solution of their heavy suffering. Nowadays the euthanasia serves as a possibility to end an incurable illness, moreover, it's a part of legislation in some countries where is allowed by law. The aim of this thesis is exactly to focus on the ethical questions in the connection within the discussion about the euthanasia. It is considered as a general truth that a human life is a gift from the God because man is created by the God and the God's image is written in them. Therefore, man has a great dignity. They possess the reason, free will and immortal soul,...

Social support in an illness. The comparison of the subjective view of the "non-psychiatric" and "psychiatric" patient at his social support in an illness
Věříšová, Jana ; Štětovská, Iva (referee) ; Šípek, Jiří (advisor)
The thesis is devoted to the social support in an illness of adult patients. A theoretical part is engaged in the illness as a pressure situation, patients, their needs and the social support about which we can talk in the context of the illness. The attention is mainly concentrated on the fact how the patients subjectively feel the support whether they accept or reject it, whether they need it and if the way how it is given is convenient or not. An important thing is to feel the support as a positive thing (e.g. desirable, helpful) and a negative one (e.g. limiting). The selective file, whose data are used for the experimental part of the thesis, consists of 40 patients divided into two groups called "psychiatric group" and "non-psychiatric group". Besides a medical diagnosis the fact which of the patients' health troubles are felt by them as the dominant ones is important for their including into these groups. The basis of the experimental part of the thesis is the quality analysis of the obtained data that are also completed with the quantity comparison of separate indices and the search of potential relations of dependence between them with the help of correlations in each group separately. The results from both groups are compared. It turns out that the patients' needs considering the social support in...

Macro economical development of East Germany and Czech republic after the 2. World War
BENDÍKOVÁ, Zuzana
There are two countries I will focus on in my bachelor thesis: East Germany and Czech Republic and their macroeconomical development after The Second World War. In the theoretical part I describe the main processes that define macroeconomy such as national accounts, gross domestic product, gross national income, balance of payments, economic growth, inflation, unemployment and fiscal and monetary policy. These factors help me to describe the economical development of these countries in the times of Socialism, when their economies were regulated from one center. They were important members of the Warsaw Pact. Then I capture the situation after the fall of the Berlin Wall, thereafter the both countries had to transform to market economy, and the state wasn't the only participant on the market anymore. The transformation, as a considerable event for further development of the countries, is unique in both of these countries, that is why they need to be addressed separately.

The Value of CSR for Czech Consumers
Faradji, Elise ; Štěrbová, Ludmila (advisor) ; Seror, Patricia (referee)
Nowadays consumers purchasing behavior is influenced by new factors such as the social and environmental implication of companies. This is why Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a growing trend which companies need to look after carefully. However implementing an efficient CSR strategy is a complex process for corporations; especially since the core concept of CSR remain quite blurry. The goal of this study is to analyze the perception of consumers towards CSR to find out about the value creation that CSR produce for consumers and its impact on their purchasing behavior. This paper will ultimately help companies to implement their CSR strategy more efficiently. This study aims to contribute by conducting an in-depth analysis of consumers attitudes and behavior towards CSR. If most of researchers are using a quantitative approach this study means to deal with the issue with a qualitative perspective. Indeed twelve semi-structured interviews will support the findings. On top of those practical and physical interviews some theoretical knowledge will be added to the construction of the argument especially to bring a framework that shows the importance of all types of value creation (functional emotional and social). The findings of the thesis emphasize the facts already proven by other researchers; value creation is fundamental to make consumers care about CSR. However the study will show how much skepticism towards CSR can impact negatively consumers purchasing behavior. The research will help companies implementing more successful CSR strategy and develop new solutions to reach customers and influence their purchasing behavior through the creation of value for them.

New archaeological finds from Horská Kvilda
Hošek, Jiří ; Kudrnáč, Jaroslav
Several iron objects and pieces of slag, including a 14th to 15th centuries war-knife and horseshoe, were found in an area of medieval gold mines near Horská Kvilda in 2002. The war-knife had a blade of high quality with a butt-welded and quenched cutting edge, the handle was presumably made of horn and a guard piece was lily-shaped. There is no doubt that this weapon belongs among the more precious and decorated pieces and we can assume its relation to a higher social environment. The horseshoe (suitable for front hoofs) wasn’t provided by steel (in order to improve its abrasion resistance) and thus ranks among simple products.
