Reply to sister Filotea of the Cross: conflict of the reason and the faith
Marková, Eliška ; Sánchez Fernández, Juan Antonio (referee) ; Vydrová, Hedvika (advisor)
There are many mysterious facts and circumstances surrounding the life and work of the nun Juana Inés de la Cruz. This thesis tries to provide answers for many of these particulars. Specifically those facts associated with the emergence of Replay to Sister Filotea of the Cross. It is, however, not possible to find a definite answer or interpretation. Juana lived in difficult times for a woman with high skills. She was not allowed to decide freely in many situations due to her being female. Her life and her creations were much closer to real social life than to closed religious inner life. Nevertheless, Juana was inspired by religious themes and was influenced by medieval mysticism. This is reflected mainly in the artistic side of her artwork. Although at the end of her life she had what might be called a spiritual conversion, it had no any effect on her literary work. Even though it had not been her primary interest, Juana became active in theological disputation. Upon request of another person she submitted Vieyra's sermon to her criticism. The letter Carta athenagorica was a crucial milestone in Juana's life, just like her decision to become a nun. Due to the letters' publication, we can now read what this writer felt, who is nowadays considered as such an important part of the nascent Latin American...

Humility as the Premise of the Perfect Following of Christ
Jirsová, Barbora ; Halama, Jindřich (advisor) ; Keřkovský, Pavel (referee)
This work on a field of Theological Ethics concerns the subject of humility, an important Christian virtue, and researches its significance for Christian practice and spiritual life in general. According to Biblical studies humility as a willing self-humiliation belongs to the essential characteristic of God's incarnation of Christ to the world and of the whole of Jesus' life, his death on the cross included. From this point of view humility as self-transcendence proves to be the premise of the ideal of following Christ. The author therefore perceives the issue of humility as a challenge for daily Christian practice. The work also points out the universal value of humility and it offers the authors' own view on humility as one of the most important aspects of interfaith and intercultural dialogue - and of dialogue per se. The theme embodies a discourse on psychology, which allows an interdisciplinary discussion. Besides the Bible the main sources of this presented thesis are writings of Christian mystics, especially Thomas A Kempis, and works of theologians - Augustine of Hippo, Martin Luther, Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Jan Heller. Emphasizing the universal feature of humility, concrete examples of "living humility" are approached through the life and writings of personalities from four different spiritual...

Ethics in Marketing Communications
Pešek, Ondřej ; Černá, Jitka (advisor) ; Koudelka, Jan (referee)
The thesis focuses on new marketing communication techniques. Their appearance is triggered mainly by technological progress and consumers' immunity to existing methods. Despite business ethics being part of commercial activities of majority of companies and business activities, not seldom do these upcoming and non-standard methods cross the boundaries of law and ethics. This business ethics has institutionalized itself into ethics codes. The thesis provides insight into the issue of the system of legal regulations of advertising in the Czech Republic. The regulation of ethics is executed by "Rada pro reklamu" as so-called self-regulation. The bodies of "RPR", its activity and also the "Code" and its practical application are detailed. The regulation of ethics concerning Public Relations is also involved. Trends are illustrated by many examples from real life.

The Journuy Toward Freedom. Inspiration by Saint John of the Cross.
Žáková, Lenka ; Milfait, René (advisor) ; Klaus, David (referee)
The Bachelor thesis with the title The journey toward freedom: Inspired by Saint John of the Cross sets oneself a goal to inform readers about spirituality and teaching of Saint John of the Cross. It tries to interdigitate two the most famous writings of Saint John of the Cross - it is the book The Ascent of the Mount Carmel and the book The Dark Night - with the Bible. The topic of the freedom is the main topic of the Bachelor thesis, especially the process of liberation the man from something and toward something. In the first part of the Bachelor thesis the reader gets to know the basic informations about life of Saint John of the Cross; about roots of Saint John ́s teaching; what is the foundation of the man and at the same time what is the aim of the one' s life and for which he is calling. Next what is the cause for necesarry free oneself. In the next chapters the reader learns about the important symbols, counsels and rules of Saint John' s teaching and toward which he is inviting the man with his teaching.

Symbolism in Ibn Sina's Work: Interpretation of Initiation Stories
Vitásková, Magdaléna ; Kropáček, Luboš (advisor) ; Ostřanský, Bronislav (referee) ; Pirický, Gabriel (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to interpretate the stories The Living, son of the Vigilant, The Bird and Salaman and Absal, written by one of the greatest scholars of medieval Islamic East, Ibn Sina (980-1037). Unlike his philosophical and medical writings these stories have a different character and create a coherent narrative cycle. Based on their themes, narrative methods and symbolism they should be in my opinion called initiation stories. The main aim of this dissertation is thus to verify this hypothesis by means of the hermeneutic interpretation. These stories, read as a coherent cycle, show typical features of initiation genre: the hero can't find his way, his existential condition makes him desperate, he is consumed by strong desire for reaching a higher ontological degree, meets an initiator, goes through initiation rites of passage, crosses the border between the uninitiated and initiated space, reaches the final initiation through symbolic death. The interpretation of each of Ibn Sina's three writings reveals an inner coherence of the stories: The Living, son of the Vigilant focuses on the motive of an initiator-guide and the description of the stages on the initiation way leading upwards, The Bird tells in an emotional way about the state preceding the initiation and then concentrates on...

Potential of the sentinel-2 red edge spectral bands for estimation of eco-physiological plant parameters
Malenovský, Zbyněk ; Homolová, Lucie ; Janoutová, Růžena ; Landier, L. ; Gastelluetchegorry, J-P. ; Bertholt, B. ; Huck, A.
In this study we investigated importance of the spaceborne instrument Sentinel-2 red edge spectral bands and reconstructed red edge position (REP) for retrieval of the three eco-physiological plant parameters, leaf and canopy chlorophyll content and leaf area index (LAI), in case of maize agricultural fields and beech and spruce forest stands. Sentinel-2 spectral bands and REP of the investigated vegetation canopies were simulated in the Discrete Anisotropic Radiative Transfer (DART) model. Their potential for estimation of the plant parameters was assessed through training support vector regressions (SVR) and examining their P-vector matrices indicatingsignificance of each input. The trained SVR were then applied on Sentinel-2 simulated images and the acquired\nestimates were cross-compared with results from high spatial resolution airborne retrievals. Results showed that contribution of REP was significant for canopy chlorophyll content, but less significant for leaf chlorophyll content and insignificant for leaf area index estimations. However, the red edge spectral bands contributed strongly to the retrievals of all parameters, especially canopy and leaf chlorophyll content. Application of SVR on Sentinel-2 simulated images demonstrated, in general, an overestimation of leaf chlorophyll content and an underestimation of LAI when compared to the reciprocal airborne estimates. In the follow-up investigation, we will apply the trained SVR algorithms on real Sentinel-2 multispectral images acquired during vegetation seasons 2015 and 2016.
