Regular and semi-regular solids in higher dimensions
Pekař, Vojtěch ; Surynková, Petra (advisor) ; Hromadová, Jana (referee)
This thesis deals with multidimensional objects, which are known as Platonic and Archimedean solids in common euclidean space. Although we describe especially four-dimensional figures and their relations with lesser grade, this text is formulated in such a way, that includes even different dimensions, if it is possible in particular instances. There exist a few works about this and similar topics in foreign, but usually they require a little basics of algebra teaching at university. Our approach uses methods similar to these, which are normally teaching in descriptive geometry and therefore includes a large number of pictures. The matter is therefore available to secondary school students, who want to increase their space imagination.

The diploma work deals with the problem of harassment and bullying among the children at elementary schools. It consists of theoretical and practical part. There were used quotations from the literature of well-known Czech and foreign experts on bullying in the work.

All results of this research are graphically depicted and evaluated. This thesis is defined to all contemporary and future teachers and of course to parents as their children could be exposed to these problems at the schools.

It is still problematic area boardering with China (Tibet) and Pakistan. Ladakh lies at the Himalayan area and it is known for its very low rainfall activity.

Spa guests under surveillance in the end of the 18th century and in the beginning of the 19th century
Jílková, Lucie ; Tinková, Daniela (advisor) ; Čechura, Jaroslav (referee)
On the verge of 19th century, all ancien régimes tried to find any way how to treat changes and impacts from the French revolution and other democratical movements across Europe. One of the biggest fear were citizens coming to the Habsburg lands from new republics. The guests who came to relax in Western Bohemia spas enjoyed a international society, but hated the regime well-known for spies who didn't have any respect for postal secret. The author uses Michel Foucault's theory of disciplination to see Austrian institutions'attempts to register all foreigners, especially those at spa resorts, to check their supposed liasons with revolutionaries. Thanks to this attemps, a lot of new sources that records every spa guests appeared and haven't been almost discovered until recently. Systematical monitoring of the foreigners goes hand in hand with with creating of the Ministry of Police and the Spa inspection. At this time, passport forms were settled and since then they were kept unchanged up to 1850's. To sum up, the control of foreigners coming to Bohemia was not an invent of this period, only the rigorousness of it is new.

Huehuetlatolli: moral lessons not only of the old Atzecs
Deylová, Iva ; Křížová, Markéta (advisor) ; Korecká, Zuzana (referee)
The diploma thesis "Huehuetlatolli - moral lessons not only of the old Aztecs" examines this rather unknown genre of Nahua literature from various viewpoints. The original form of these probably only orally transmitted traditions is nowadays known due to the records made by two Spanish Franciscan missionaries Andrés de Olmos and Bernardino de Sahagún. Both of them started showing interest in the indigenous cultures and traditions immediately after arriving in the area of the present Mexico at the beginning of the colonization period. The analysis presented in this work is based on the Volume VI of the book Historia general de las cosas de Nueva Espaa written by Bernardino de Sahagún. The introductory chapters offer a rather general description of Nahua culture and its relationship to the most famous pre-Columbian ethnic group - the Aztecs. This information was largely obtained through the study of texts of both Mexican and foreign scholars such as Ángel María Garibay, Miguel León-Portilla, Markéta Křížová, and others. The text also mentions how the missionaries Andrés de Olmos and Bernardino de Sahagún collected the texts. I also provide arguments why I chose texts edited by Bernardino de Sahagún as a source of this thesis. Additionally, it was also important to classify and mention the main characteristics...

Cultural and Business Specialities of Canada
Redžič, Alen ; Gullová, Soňa (advisor) ; Laschoberová, Libuše (referee)
I have selected cultural and business specialities in Canada as a objective in my work. In these days it is really necessary to know witch cultural and business dissimilarities can we meet during business negotiation. It is my hope that my work will provide aggregate information about Canadian culture and will attract more interested person. For instance: business representatives, when they want to know about the country they want to do business with, correspondence departments they have to maintain the relationship with Canadian business partners, students they want to go to Canada for holiday or at last tourists they are going to visit the country of maple leaf on their journey. In the prologue I have tried to set the goal and the structure of my work. In first and second chapter I pay attention for territorial characteristics, economic situation and foreign trade. I also have taken down a legal framework of Canada. I found out that there is huge difference among Canadian provinces. Where some business tactics will be kindly accepted as a professional, in other province can this behaviour be taken as a lack of interest or dispassionate. Third chapter provides intercultural characteristics. On models of two well known anthropologists I have tried to explain Canadian behaviour- their ways of thinking, ways of acting and why are they different from their neighbours from US. Fourth and fifth chapter deals with cultural and business dissimilarities in Canada. I have explained why is Canadian culture of business so special from other cultures. Language issue, social values or inclination to recycle and other problematic has been mentioned. The conclusion of my work has shown if I succeeded in my goals that I set in prologue. I am aware, that this topic is so extensive that I was not able to cover all of it but I hope that I have provided many useful information and knowledge about this so various region.
