Frédéric Chopin as Pianist and Teacher
Loizou, Valentine ; Kittnarová, Olga (advisor) ; Palkovská, Jana (referee)
This diploma dissertation is concentrated on Frederick Chopin as a piano player and pedagogue. His approach to piano pedagogy was visionary as concerns the physiology of the hand and the body's coordination with the instrument. As a musician and pianist he was deeply admired by his contemporaries. His individual style of playing captivated his listeners. This knowledge will ultimately help performers to understand and interpret Chopin's works. The first chapters are focused on Chopin's biography and compositions in chronology. In chapter two we see Chopin as a composer, his choice of genres, his inspirations and early influences as well as what characterizes his works. Chapter three is concerned with Chopin's style of playing (3.1), his opinion about other musicians (3.2) and his relationship with other pianists (3.3). Chapter 3.4 deals with the major issue in Chopin's life which was his reluctance to perform in public. Chapter 3.5 presents in detail Chopin's concerts and repertoire and the following Chapter 3.6 focuses on Chopin's skills as improviser. Chapter four examines Chopin as a teacher and the important role teaching played in his life. Two separate chapters concentrate on Chopin's students (4.2) and the repertoire studied with their teacher (4.3). The testimonies of Chopin's students...

Basic rights of the patients
Fedrová, Michaela ; Sovová, Olga (advisor) ; Císařová, Dagmar (referee)
Resume in English The thesis Basic rights of the patients compares two systems of law, the Czech and the French one. This work introduces the resources of legal adjustments of the both law systems in the area of medical law. Later on it deals with the relation doctor - patient, the interpretation of which is absolutely different in both countries. France has been proud of its contractual relations since the thirties of the 20th century, while the Czech republic can be characterized with more of a paternalistic relation. The separate basic rights are arranged according to their importance in this thesis. The author introduces the international legal form, then the local variant, the French legal form being given the advantage. In the conclusion of some chapters the reader will find a short resume, evaluation of pluses and minuses and a short lay-out of the new legal modifications or inspiration for the lawmakers. First of all the right to life and the right to protection of human personality are being dealt with. These rights are the top values of the human society, that is why they are protected by the normatives of the top legal force. Within these rights the author renders especially the criminal responsibility of the medical staff, mainly in connection with taking an active part in euthanasia or suicide....

On the origin of words (Freshwater Fish Labelling Etymology in the Czech Republic and European English-speaking countries)
Novák, Lukáš ; Řezníček, Jan (advisor) ; Rajchlová, Štěpánka (referee)
The thesis doesn't have the tendency or ambition to reach the particular conclusion or final solution (which would be at least as debatable as the construction that it is based on). But it should bring different approach and focus on selected animal genus (our distant ancestors), accepting them as a contemporary cultural, economical and culinary interest. Insight trough the prism of tendency, specifics and unwritten rules of linguistics, under the thumb of cultural representativneness and its identification. The contact of two distinc worlds, antithesises. The silent and peaceful world of fishes, that has retained the objectified prism of lucent wall under the water level, which singularises it from antropocentric world of "those", who think to stand on the top of imaginary pyramid. The work is divided in three parts: Introductory principles, etymological research and addendum, which interprets fish from the art, astronomy, folklore, and booklore point of view.

Agression measurement and assessment using methods of psychological diagnostics
Harsa, Pavel ; Žukov, Ilja (advisor) ; Hynek, Karel (referee) ; Kratochvíl, Stanislav (referee)
We have tried in doctoral thesis to objectively verify usability of questionnaires and projective methods in evaluation of aggressiveness of psychiatric patients. In the theoretical part of the study we discuss definitions of aggression and aggressiveness. There is a number of theoretic interpretations of aggressiveness and aggression in which these general terms are characterized. Most authors and single theory are in full agreement of views that there are two types of aggression, aceptable and unacceptable for society. We have aimed at bio-psycho-social aspects of aggression and the structure of aggressive personality. Nowadays there are many branches of science, which are engaged in aggressiveness, for example genetics, biology and psychology. It is evidence to support the view that aggressiveness is a serious problem in human society. At the same timee it is difficult to find empiric assessment of aggression. (...) In conclusion: These results verify clinical and forensic experience with assessment and measurement of aggressiveness. Test methods show much more general temperament dispositions, tendency to emotional reaction and to explosive reactions. Information and experience from this thesis could be helpful for assessment of emotional aggression in psychiatric patients and for forensic practie....

Polarized Radiative Transfer in Solar Atmosphere
Štěpán, Jiří ; Heinzel, Petr (advisor) ; Degĺ Innocenti, Egidio Landi (referee) ; Bueno, Javier Trujillo (referee)
The adequate theoretical models of the NLTE radiative transfer are needed for interpretation of the complicated spectra emerging from the magnetized solar atmosphere. In the first part of the thesis, the quantum theory of polarization is reviewed along with the problem of NLTE radiative transfer of the 2nd kind. A general notation for a numerical treatment of the atomic density matrix is introduced. A lambda-operator splitting technique is presented and used for development of a novel preconditioning method analogous to the Jacobi iteration algorithm. Number of processes is taken into account: atomic polarization, level-crossings, Paschen-Back effect, Hanle and Zeeman effects, optical pumping, collisional (de)polarization. A nonlinear multigrid technique is developed in the framework of polarized radiative transfer theory and the eficiency of the method is discussed. The potential of this new solver is demonstrated on an example of transfer of the optically thick line of a multiterm atom in the Paschen-Back effect regime. In the second part of the thesis, the particular problem of impact polarization of the hydrogen H-alpha line in solar flares is considered. The semi-empirical models of the flaring chromosphere are used to find the differential effects of the proton beam on the line intensity and linear...

Econometric analysis of inflation in the Czech Republic
Demeš, Jiří ; Hušek, Roman (advisor) ; Pánková, Václava (referee)
The degree work is focused on analysis of inflation with help of suitable econometric models. Inflation with it's forms and possibilities of measuring is described at the beginning of the paper. There is mentioned an importance of monitoring and analysing inflation in view of Czech national bank. Consequently there are described characteristics of time series, which are important from viewpoint of construction of econometric models. Next part of this paper is focused on characterization of econometrics models. At first there is vector autoregression model, in this connection there is discussed the essence of Granger causality and impulse reaction. There are also noticed both error correction model and vector error correction model. The empirical part of degree work involves the use of these models on selected macroeconomic time series of the Czech republic. The objective is to analyze the relationship between inflation and other individual macroeconomic quantities. There is established the optimal vector autoregressive model and the results of Granger causality and impulse reaction are interpretated. Both error correction model and vector error correction model examining cointegration are also applied.

The Czech EU presidency from the point of view of interpreters and delegates
Trubková, Jana ; Sládková, Miroslava (referee) ; Čeňková, Ivana (advisor)
Between January and June 2009, the Czech Republic assumed the rotating presidency of the European Union. All the meetings within the EU framework, of the ministers of the member states and of the work groups were led by Czechs. This semester represented an exceptional challenge in diplomatic and organizational terms. The present report concentrated on the objective of responding to the question: What were the greatest challenges faced by the interpreters who performed interpretation services from and to Czech? Because Czech was the language which served as the bridge between European delegates to the Czech presidency, the interpreters were an important link for the success of all the meetings. In Brussels, interpreting services were provided by Czech language interpreters belonging to DG SCIC and in the Czech Republic interpreting services were rendered at lower level meetings by a Czech provider of interpreting services, Artlingua. For this report we have used surveys to ascertain the interpreters' opinions with regard to their interpretation service experience during the Czech presidency, as well as to ascertain the delegates' opinions about the interpreting services rendered. Likewise, we compared the opinions of the Czech delegates with those of the foreign delegates. We replied that the services...

"The victim of one's victim" The process of victimization in William Faulkner's The sound and the fury
Novotná, Ema ; Nováková, Soňa (referee) ; Ulmanová, Hana (advisor)
William Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury was written eighty years ago but is still considered a unique and a remarkable novel. It was published in the "annus mirabilis" (Andrews 251), i.e. the miraculous year of 1929, which introduced literary works of authors who changed the world of literature substantially. Ernest Miller Hemingway's war novel A Farewell to Arms influenced other representatives of one literary generation, i.e. the Lost Generation just as Virginia Woolf's A Room of One's Own and Faulkner's essential novel participated in the genesis of a literary movement: Modernism, or American Modernism, respectively. The difficult structure of Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury did not wait for first interpretations - it was discussed and analyzed the moment it reached the hands of critics, university professors and students. Scholars examined the peculiar specifics of Faulkner's style of writing as well as the tangled web of his meticulously constructed characters and his precisely arranged passages and chapters. Various aspects: his use of madness and sanity, his unique concept of time organized according to psychological rather than linear time, a stream of consciousness narrative, warped heroes, "disruptive female characters" (Roberts, XI) - all seen from the perspective of Faulkner's fictitious...
