Multicultural Education as Philosophical problem
Morvayová, Petra ; Pelcová, Naděžda (advisor) ; Horák, Josef (referee) ; Bendl, Stanislav (referee)
The thesis deals with multicultural education definition and practice antinomies and with paradoxes arising from its bases that are destabilizing its concept and disputing its potential to fulfil the aims that are proposed by. Our analysis insists on findings and approaches coming from philosophical, philosophical antropology perspectives, from philosophy of social science, sociology of knowledge, theories issue from social and cultural antropology, political philosophy and post-structuralist philosophy of language that takes language as an instrument or image of understanding and word sense as an intertextual. The aim of this text is to introspect terms, definitions, constructs and optics of multicultural education concepts from the point of view of critical philosophy of education.

Introduction to bio art
Šperanda, Nina ; SILVERIO, Robert (advisor) ; JANOŠČÍK, Václav (referee)
Bio art is a contemporary art practice that works with living organisms (except humans) or is created in cooperation with living organisms. It is relatively new art movement that is rooted deeply inside the history of evolution, domestication of animals and plants, technological discoveries, their development and science. Never before was art questioning its ethics and aesthetics in such profound, molecular and sub-molecular way.
In this work I will consider the historical influences and conditions that led to current developments in the field. I will also try to explain the problematics of defining what bio art is and try to clarify the associated terminology. Most relevant and ground breaking works in the field will be mentioned as some new recent developments.
Aesthetics of bio art is also an important subject often set aside by the ado around ethics of it. It is an extremely important subject to be considered when talking about bio art and I will try to sketch out a brief outline of it with references to philosophy and contemporary bio art theory.

Stejskalová, Klára ; Skalický, Milan (advisor) ; Martinková, Jaroslava (referee)
The aim of this study is to document the floristic species diversity through research in the natural reserve Miletinska bazantnice. Documentation was carried out on the territory concerned during the growing season of 2015. There was a determination of vascular species. The research was mainly focused on endangered and protected species.
The whole area is part of sites of European importance under the Habitats Directive Natura 2000 Miletinska bazantnice was declared a nature reserve in 1954 with an area of 75, 43 hectares and is part of a small-scale specially protected area. Typical features of the area are remnants of natural Podzvicinsko geobiocenosis and therefore the reason for its protection.
Further it describes the history, characteristics of the territory and the natural conditions that are typical for the locality. These include soil science, climate, hydrological, geomorphological, geological and phytogeographical. On the territory of the nature reserve are recorded two memorial trees. It´s oaks (Quercus robur) called Zizkovy duby.
At present territories were found in protected and endangered species and classified under the Red and black list of vascular plants of the Czech Republic (Grulich, 2012) and Decree of the Ministry of Environment of the Czech Republic no. 395/1992 Coll. Into the category of rare taxa that require additional attention include species such as Carex otrubae, Cerastium lucorum, Daphne mezereum, Galium boreale, Listera ovata and Primula veris. The only species Platanthera bifolia is ranked in the category of endangered under both the Red and black list of vascular plants in the Czech Republic and under Decree.
In the field survey, attention was also paid to invasive species, sorted by Catalogue of alien plants of the Czech Republic (Pyšek et al., 2012) and categorized archeophytes (Arctium tomentosum, Cirsium arvense, Convolvulus arvensis, Chelidonium majus)
and neophytes (Arrhenatherum elatius, Impatiens parviflora) and described their risks (Mlíkovský and Stýblo, 2006)

Recent developments of the Czech lexicon, notably in economic terminology
Nowak, Filip ; Čermák, František (advisor) ; Holub, Jan (referee)
Economics is ranked among the most popular sciences of Today. It is not only the experts who consider economics; non-professional economists do it as well. Economy influences our daily lives and we have a major piece on its development and on the language that describe it. This situation causes the occurrence of some anomalies among economic terms, tendency to use unusual linguistic means on purpose to catch reader's attention or because of natural motivation of well-known matters lying beyond the economic field. This diploma thesis tries to highlight some of those phenomenons. The research takes its stand on the technical economic studies data from the electronic database of Czech National Corpus (Český národní korpus), which allows to determine their frequency as well. The attention is paid mainly to the most typical model in Czech terminology: adjective - noun, noun - adjective, where in addition to semantic, functional classification and frequency, the metaphoric and metonymic motivation or their pragmatic sides are delimitated. There is an effort to classify the metaphoric and metonymic collocations that occurred in the random text sample into semantic categories. Naturally, there is an outline of terminology and metaphors matters as well. The quantitative results are attached in the tables related to...

Objectivity, subjectivity and Karl Raimund Popper
Fafejta, Ondřej ; Uhlář, Pavel (referee) ; Kebza, Vladimír (advisor)
The author of the dissertation finds three approaches which can be taken as for the topic of objectivity and subjectivity: the cartesian, the kantian and the postmodern. He adopts the kantian approach, which leads to K. R. Popper's philosophy of science. On the basis of Popper's thoughts the author finds two concepts of objectivity: outer unknowable objectivity of the world, and inner objectivity of logic as a tool for knowledge. Outer objectivity or the world per se is a metaphysical concept for the unreachable limit of our knowledge. The author also distinguishes two concepts of subjectivity: subjective (known) experience, which is the most immediate tool for knowing outer objectivity, and objective (experienced) experience or experience per se which is identical with outer objectivity. The author's theory of objectivity and subjectivity thus contains three parts: outer objectivity/objective experience, subjective experience and inner objectivity. The author applies it as background for conversations in the sphere of helping professions. The first part which is metaphysical can only be presupposed. Therefore subjective impressions are the base of the conversation, purely individual for everybody, but presented if possible in so logical context that they can be understandable to other participants of the...
