Fotografie protkaná filosofií - ukázáno na vývoji v české (a slovenské) postmoderní fotografie
Radecki, Molly ; Musilová, Helena (advisor) ; Zeinerová Brachtlová, Michaela (referee)
Czech and (Slovak) Postmodern Photography je diskusí o tom, jak se liší trendy v zemi, která je nyní Českou republikou, v porovnání se západní (hlavně americkou) postmoderní fotografií. Autorka, která je Američankou, doufá, že by toto pojednání mohlo být odrazovým můstkem pro lidi, kteří českou kulturu neznají. Není to precizní katalog České postmoderní fotografie; je to pouze poukus vyzdvihnout některé trendy v rozvoji České postmoderní fotografie. Autorka si myslí, že existují tři vlny (či období) České postmoderní fotografie: První, začínající kolem roku 1968, druhý, který začal v roce 1989 a třetí, který je ve stádiu zrodu. Navíc autorka věří, že je důležité porozumět charakteristice Strukturalismu v porovnání s Poststrukturalismem a pokusit se pochopit, jak se tyto postmoderní trendy rozšiřují, protože po roce 1968 hrál Poststrukturalismus důležitou roli v západní kultuře, zatímco v tehdejším Československu byl povinnou marxistickou myšlenkovou formou rozhodně Strukturalismus.

Jus post bellum - justice after war
Kopečný, Tomáš ; Jirsa, Jakub (advisor) ; Jinek, Jakub (referee)
The just war theory debates the justice of wars. Traditional parts of the theory provides with criteria of justice at war's beginning (jus ad bellum) and during its conduct (jus in bello). Jus post bellum as the latest part governs the area of justice of the decisions after the war is over. This thesis will conceptualize jus post bellum in the whole of the just war theory while outlining its content. One of the main objectives will be a critical evaluation of all the theory's criteria in order to correspond to the nature of current conflicts. The just war theory will be presented here as the art of morally based compromise between resignation to moral judgments and moral elitism that doesn't take reality into account while pressing for absolute ideals. This feature will be especially present at jus post bellum, where judgments of the processes of coming to terms with the past and evaluation of the crimes of wartime take place. The key issue will be to find such a form of a social reconciliation that would not while belittle the victims' suffering while enabling the society to return to normal life.

From Developmentalism to Mobilisation: The Case of Georgian Violent Transition
Střítecký, Vít ; Drulák, Petr (advisor) ; Plechanovová, Běla (referee) ; Ditrych, Ondřej (referee)
This thesis seeks to conceptualize a link between the phenomenona of developmentalist state and ethnopolitical mobilization while arguing that the study of post-developmental transition should be based on a complex framework involving crucial social, economic, and political processes. The argument begins with the overview of the approaches of the late/post-Soviet transition, which are critically assessed on the basis of their anchoring in the modernization paradigm. The thesis then turns to the formulation of the alternative theoretical explanation based on the sound theoretical observations from the field of historical sociology. The theoretical debate leads to the formulation of the model involving three causal mechanisms connecting the macro and micro levels. Empirically, the thesis argues that Georgian violent mobilization resulted from the processes that were determined by the functioning and decline of the Soviet developmentalist state. While accepting the dynamics of ethnopolitical mobilization it seeks to answer the question which socio-economic processes breed these mobilizations.

Media image of alexander dubček from the beginning of august 1968 until the end of May 1969 rudé právo, pochodeň, lidová demokracie
Kottová, Anna ; Bednařík, Petr (advisor) ; Krejcar, Robert (referee)
(Abstract) Bachelor thesis "Media image of Alexander Dubček from the beginning of August 1968 until the end of May 1969 in Rudé právo, Pochodeň, Lidová demokracie" characterized the period and most important events from 1968 with a concentration on Alexander Dubček and events around him. Alexandr Dubček, the main character of Prague Spring, tried to reform and changed the Communism. This process is often called "the Socialism with a human face". Dubček's policy was responsible for events of 21st August in 1968. The most of native Communist party were afraid of losing their posts and started to agree with Soviet plans. Dubček, the most powerful man in the state, had to leave his post on 17th April, 1969 because of pressure from Moscow and conservative political representatives. The first part of this work is concentrated on the main historical events of this period and Dubček's official biography. In the second part I am going to describe Dubček's media image at the beginning of August 1968 to the end of May 1969 in the historical newspapers Rudé právo, Pochodeň and Lidová demokracie. The aim of this work is to concentrate on the specific period and specific person in the historical newspapers and to describe a media image of Dubček in the individual historical newspapers from the individual...

The Integration of Displaced Persons into the Soviet Occupation Zone
Ordeltová, Susan Michelle ; Kunštát, Miroslav (advisor) ; Kučera, Jaroslav (referee)
This Bachelor thesis deals with the integration of displaced persons of German nationality from post-war Poland and Czechoslovakia who were forced by post-war conditions to resettle into the Soviet occupation zone of Germany, later GDR. Although it may seem that the integration had been successful, there were lots of partial problems that shouldn't be forgotten. The chaos at the beginning caused by mostly spontaneous and unorganized expulsions complicated the starting position of displaced Germans who saved just little possession and had limited possibilities to start a new life in a new home. The first steps to integration began with registration in camps. Then it was needed to give the displaced persons new home, some material belongings and a job. This was a years-lasting process. In 1948 the Soviet military administration of Germany recognized integration as to be done. It was the end of the official political integration; however the differences between old and new citizens stayed still visible.

Identification of cadavers and skeleton findings
Maťašová, Mária ; Štourač, Petr (advisor) ; Musil, Jan (referee)
IDENTIFICATION Of CORPSES AND SKELETAL FINDINGS For a topic of my thesis I chose Identification of dead bodies and skeletal findings. This topic is one of issues which belong to criminal science. My work consists of eight chapters including the Introduction and Conclusion. In the beginning I described the basic terms of Forensic Science which relate to death as post-mortem changes, mummification and algor mortis. In the Chapter three I deal with a general procedure when a dead body occurs. In this part you can find the legal regulations of coroner's inquest, autopsy and search of premises. Next chapter is devoted to regulation of a medicine doctor's activity as an expert and following chapter describes exhumation procedure. Chapter six deals with identification process generally. Chapter seven describes particular methods of identification. The first method what I describe is forensic anthropology. This method use external features of a man for the identification process. These features are: sex, age, body height, DNA analysis or blood group. Then I define method of superprojection which use the skulk and photography of dead persons. With the technical progress this method use nowadays equipment of modern technique as special scanner or digital pictures. After that I define method of portrait...

Development of an LC-MS method for determination of new antimalarial drugs in biological matrices.
Klimeš, Jiří ; Kučera, Radim (referee) ; Kovaříková, Petra (advisor)
Artemisinin a representative of Endoperoxide class of drugs and its derivatives particularly artesunate are the most important class of antimalarial drugs used in clinical practice. They are recommended as the first-line treatment of malaria in combination with other longer-acting antimalarial drugs (lumefantrine, piperaquine). As the main skeleton of these compounds lacks UV visible or fluorescent chromophore, earlier methods of detection have used post-column on-line derivatisation or electrochemical detection in the reductive mode. However, these methods suffer from poor sensitivity and selectivity. Within this thesis the whole LC-MS method development for the analysis of artesunate and its major metabolite dihydroartemisin in biological samples from the very beginning was performed. It included tuning of ESI - triple quadrupole MS detector and optimization of chromatographic conditions, particularly mobile phase pH. Artesunate (ARST) and dihydroartemisin (DHA) were assayed in human plasma using artemisisnin as an internal standard. Different approaches of plasma sample treatment, (protein precipitation and liquid- liquid extraction) were optimized and compared. Pre-validation data for liquid-liquid extraction revealed LLOQ as 2.5 and 3.0 ng/ml for DHA and ARST, respectively using 400 μl of...

On Dynamics of "New Wars": Clausewitzian Analysis of Factors Related to Dynamics of Armed Conflicts in Post-Communist Area
Kučera, Tomáš ; Karásek, Tomáš (advisor) ; Bureš, Oldřich (referee)
Armed conflict that occurred after the end of the Cold War in the territory of former Yugoslavia and Soviet Union belong to the so cold phenomenon of new wars. New wars are said to differ from the old ones in its aims, methods of warfare, and in ways how they are iv financed. In spite of these supposed changes in fundamental character of war, a conflict dynamics - defined by intensity, rapidity of escalation, and conflict duration - of armed conflicts in post-communist area corresponds with classic notion of war, as it was described by Carl von Clausewitz. According to the theory based on Clausewitz's work conflict course can be seen as a resultant of three forces - group hostility, ability to build up and maintain military organisation, and rationality of political leadership. Group hostility works as driving power toward very escalated and long-lasting armed conflict and political leadership that realises aim of the war and its consequences for political relations in the aftermath works as a counterforce to hostility and therefore attempt to maintain intensity of violence within limits drawn by political aims. Without quick build up of a military organisation there cannot be supposed a rapid conflict escalation at the beginning of an armed conflict. The resultant of all the three forces, which reach in...

The Effects of Cold War Speech in the Post-Cold War World: Identification of the Enemy in the War on Terror
Hays II, George Waight Secrest ; Drulák, Petr (advisor) ; Beneš, Vít (referee)
This work is a discursive analysis exploring the effects of US presidential Cold War speech on the identification of the "Enemy." It examines the usage of metaphors in key speeches from Truman, Eisenhower, Reagan, and G.H.W. Bush in order to determine the composition and evolution of the identity of the Cold War "Enemy." This identity is then compared and contrasted to that created by the usage of metaphors concerning the War on Terror by G.W. Bush. The theory of discursive analysis used in this work stems from beginnings in philosophy several decades old. Over time, the theory of discursive analysis was honed towards many different schools and areas of study. The specific branch which this work springs from holds that language shapes political and physical reality. Coming out of this theory, this work aims to explore whether or not exposure to Cold War rhetoric had an impact over time between different administrations as well as between different conflicts. The method of analysis is an adaptation of previous methods of metaphorical analysis. Eight general conceptual metaphors are chosen as a guiding structure throughout all of the speeches. Corresponding metaphorical expressions are then gathered according to the conceptual metaphor being analyzed. The frequency of metaphorical expressions, and the...
