The Development of the Green Party in the Cz. Rep. Between the Years 2000 and 7
Tejkal, Jiří ; Havlík, Radomír (referee) ; Stracený, Josef (advisor)
This thesis deals with the origin and evolution of the Czech Green Party to 2007. Despite the fact that after the revolution in 1989 everything suggested that the Greens might significantly influence the political scene, their preferences were moving around 1 % throughout the nineties. The year 2002 was the turning point, when the party reached state support in the elections to the 'Parliament. In 2003, ecological activists Beránek and Patočka held the head position in the party. Gradually, a strong intra-party opposition grew against them, and in 2005 Martin Bursik was elected the party chairman. Under his leadership, an upward tred of the party could be observed: after half a year of his presidency the Greens got into Parliament 75 and, after complex negotiations, to the government. This was also caused by an unprecedented political orientation to the right wing of the political spectrum.

The kinds of identity in the Czech interwar romance
Svobodová, Marta ; Heczková, Libuše (referee) ; Bílek, Petr (advisor)
The graduation thesis focuses on the types of social identity created between the lines of the story about the romantic love. The selected books (the thesis choose the texts, which were published as books, although there is also a huge range of texts published as part-issues) fall into the works of the most popular writers in the interwar era in the new established Czechoslovakia (Javořická, Zahradník-Brodský, Utěšitelová, Kyzlinková etc.). The analysis of the texts shows, that the period, when they were published, influences the social meaning of the concepts used as motives, which sketch in the dramatic or on the other hand the lyric atmosphere. The new established state as the new social-political organization uses the metaphors of the Czech national revival as social stereotypes to remake and reinforce the Czech national identity. Though there are other types of identity as local identity, religious (Christian) or gender identity, they all at least partly embody in the changed national identity.

Historical development of Britisch Labour Party since 1900 to 2001
Válová, Lucie ; Stracený, Josef (advisor) ; Havlík, Radomír (referee)
The diploma thesis describes the development of British Labour Party from its foundation in 1900 to the end of the first term of Tony Blair's government. The work focuses on the ideological development of the party in historical context. The party was founded as a left-wing organisation, supporting the working class, collaborating with trade unions and its main aim was nationalization of the means of production and establishing of socialism in Britain. The party left this aim at the end of 20th century by the revision of its constitution it claimed to be a modern social democracy, which supports capitalism. The kernel of the problems is in the so called "revisionist era", i.e. from 50th of 20th century to 90th of 20th century, when Blair became a leader. Then the party was labeled as New Labour Party and it introduced itself as an organisation with its own concept of the Third Way. The work is based mainly on publications of British political scientists, whose works have not been translated yet into a Czech language.

Mpembe effect - reality or fiction? (Hysteresis by water freezing).
Böhm, Pavel ; Obdržálek, Jan (advisor) ; Rotter, Miloš (referee)
The aim of this thesis was to review theoretically and experimentally so-called Mpemba eect, where the initially hot water freezes sooner than the initially cold one. Based upon already published theoretical and experimental works, a list of circumstances possibly supporting this phenomenon was created and discussed. Some situations were veried experimentally. These experiments were carried out partly in laboratory using small amounts of distilled water (less than 1 ml), partly in "kitchen conditions" using the tap water (about 200 ml) and a commercial home refrigerator. The time of freezing dened by freezing of the entire body of water was measured using the inection points of cooling curves. Unlikely to the Mpemba eect (and likely to the usual expectations), usually the sample of cold water freezes sooner than the hot one. The Mpemba eect occured rarely, mostly when the cooler was covered by the layer of the snow and the hot vessel could melt through it to reach better thermal contact than the cold vessel. Other observed cases were mostly inconclusive.

Krátká, Lenka ; Kubů, Eduard (advisor) ; Kocian, Jiří (referee) ; Jančík, Drahomír (referee)
DISERTAČNÍ PRÁCE ABSTRACT ČESKOSLOVENSKÁ NÁMOŘNÍ PLAVBA, 1948-1989 CZECHOSLOVAK OCEAN SHIPPING, 1948-1989 2016 Lenka Krátká This work is concentrated on the topic of establishment and development of the Czechoslovak ocean shipping in the period 1948-1989. The theme is presented with using a large number of primary archive sources and relevant secondary literature. In addition, the text offers an insight into the topic through the memoirs of former Czechoslovak seafarers collected with the use of oral history method. The primary aim of this work is to capture the history of the Czechoslovak ocean shipping in a broader context of political, economic, and foreign policy development of Czechoslovakia in the given period. A key moment for founding a merchant fleet represented the year 1948, the communist coup d'état respectively, when the country came into the sphere of the Soviet Union's influence and transformed its economy into a centrally planned one with the absence of market principles. These specific circumstances enabled to develop a transport sector which Czechoslovakia did not have either natural conditions, or practical experience with. Based on a politically motivated decision, the Czechoslovak ocean shipping in the early 1950s was developed in cooperation with the People's Republic of China. By this...

The Use of Genetic Tests in the Insurance Industry. Alzheimerś Disease in Long-Term Care Insurance.
Jaroš, Filip ; Mandl, Petr (referee) ; Bohumský, Petr (advisor)
The dissertation can be viewed at as a contribution to the discussion about using genetic information in the insurance industry. The debate is fully being held in the United Kingdom and other countries. It is only a matter of time when the discussion will be launched in the Czech Republic. Macdonald's and Pritchard's model (2000) of Alzheimer's disease in long-term care insurance is applied to the Czech pattern of mortality. A calculation of the expected present value of benefits is shown on an illustrative example of long-term care insurance. A quantification of adverse selection which is perceived as a reason for differentiation of ratings depending on the genetic profile of a policy applicant is a mathematical conclusion of the study. The appendix deals with the broader ethic and economical matter of the problem discussed.
