Joseph Georg Meinert and His Work in the Context of the German Cultural Life in the Czech Lands at the End of the 18th and in the First Half of the 19th Century.
Čížková, Martina ; Vodrážková, Lenka (advisor) ; Tvrdík, Milan (referee)
The presented thesis contextualizes Joseph Georg Meinert's life and his writings in German spiritual life in the Czech lands at the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th century. It aims to analyze the subject matter of the whole spectrum of his works. His writings attest to the life of this German-speaking teacher, tutor and professor as well as scholar. Equally, they show the cultural and historical development at the time when the patriotism in the Habsburg monarchy begun to evolve. In the thesis Mainert's texts are divided into groups according to their genres and recurring themes and motives. Next, the texts are analyzed by comparison with the information occurring in the secondary literature and the preserved fragments of Meinert's diaries. The results of the analysis confirm that Meinert's creations authentically documented the historical, political and cultural circumstances of that time. The creations influenced not only the patriotically thinking fellows and writers in the Austrian, Czech and German lands, but as an editor he also had influence on the less educated readers of his journals. Meinert's writings were mostly received positively. His poetic work related to the negatively perceived historical events can be seen as an exception. Above that, the analysis showed that...

The genetic links around the Red Sea as revealed by the mtDNA
Čížková, Martina ; Černý, Viktor (advisor) ; Rídl, Jakub (referee)
The Red Sea region is one of the important places that allow us to uncover traces of the evolution of anatomically modern humans. Besides the questions related to its expansion out of Africa, this region is also important in terms of the mutual influence between populations of Africa and Arabia that after a long period of isolation and genetic differentiation related to climate change in the Pleistocene and subsequent development of seaways and land routes in the Holocene began to contact with each other more frequently. Number of genetic analyzes has been done but some issues concerning on the later development still remain inadequately answered, mainly because of insufficient material. This work is focused on the analysis of 200 mtDNA sequences of four Sudanese populations - two populations of nomadic herdsmen Rashaida and Beja living in the close neighborhood around the city of Kassala and speaking different languages and two populations of the Nile Valley with settled way of life. Analysis of the intrapopulation level revealed much higher diversity of the sedentary populations (in this work the sedentary populations are represented by the Nubians and Arabs). Interpopulation variability and genetic distances within other 46 populations of the Red Sea showed that although Rashaida and Beja people...

The Fuggers in the Czech Lands in the 16th and 17th Centuries. A Textological Study from a Diachronic Point of View.
Čížková, Martina ; Vodrážková, Lenka (advisor) ; Vachková, Marie (referee)
The presented diploma theses is focused on historical linguistics analysis of 32 archival documents written in German language which are related to the Fugger family and their activities in the Czech Lands in 1529-1691. The historical oriented introduction presents the situation in the Czech Lands in the 16th and 17th centuries, Fugger family and development of offices. The second part is focused on linguistics and describes the advancement of office languages and historical context. The textological analysis oriented on macrostructure of the text and selected aspects of the language leads to the determination of text types, classes, kinds, and functions. The performed study contributes to the investigation of German offices language in the given time period and simultaneously opens the possibility of linguistic and historical research.

Population structure, migration and dynamics in Africa and Arabia
Čížková, Martina ; Černý, Viktor (advisor) ; Frynta, Daniel (referee) ; Zrzavý, Jan (referee)
In addition to the interaction of evolutionary forces, the population history of the African Sahel and Arabia has been influenced by the spread of Neolithic cultural innovations. The reflection of these processes today is a very complex structured diversity of the current populations, which is presented here through the analysis of several genetic markers. The aim is to provide a comprehensive view of the history of demographic processes in the Sahel and Arabia, by combining genetic, linguistic, subsistence and geographical data obtained from local populations. A study of a large dataset of mtDNA sequences showed that Arabia was a major crossroads in gene flow, and although it was colonized by anatomically modern humans from East Africa, today's differentiation from Africa is greater than the differentiation between local populations in these regions. Even the Sahel was an important biocorridor in the past. Today, we encounter populations of various subsistence strategies (nomadic pastoralists and settled farmers), between which gene flow has been severely restricted. A comparison of uniparently inherited loci in both groups points to different migratory activity in the eastern and western parts of the Sahel. Analyzes of Alu elements, which indicated the inclination of West African herders (Fulbs)...

Modular synthesis of N-heteroaromatic cations by (2+2+2) cycloaddition
Čížková, Martina ; Teplý, Filip (advisor) ; Kotora, Martin (referee) ; Potáček, Milan (referee)
5 Abstract N-Heteroaromatic cations represent a family of compounds with diverse application potentials including natural products, DNA probes, fluorescence dyes, herbicides, ionic liquids, organocatalysts, etc. The preparation of these species proceeds mainly through N-alkylation which is used mostly as a last step of the synthetic sequence. Only limited diversity of cationic substrates can be achieved with this manner, hence, searching for other methods leading to novel Nheteroaromatic cations is of great interest. Some examples of transition metal-catalyzed transformations on organic cations have appeared over the last two decades including Suzuki- Miyaura reaction, Sonogashira and Stille coupling, oxidative homocoupling, ring-closing metathesis, etc. Here, the successful construction of new N-heteroaromatic cations by [2+2+2] cycloaddition is presented. A methodology for the synthesis of novel pyridine-type organic monocations was developed using gaseous acetylene as a reaction partner in the cyclization step. Subsequently, the double [2+2+2] cycloaddition was utilized for the preparation of oligo-p-phenylenes with two to seven para connected phenylene units. Furthermore, the intramolecular version of the cyclization step led to two helical and four linear dications which can be considered as extended...

Implementation of the Quality Management System ISO 9001: 2015
Čížková, Martina ; Plášková, Alena (advisor) ; Gieslová, Eva (referee)
The main goal of my thesis is to show the process of transitioning the current quality management system (in accordance with the norm ISO 9001: 2008) into the new quality management system in accordance with the norm ISO 9001: 2015 in Sipral a.s. company. The thesis analyses current state in the company concerning requirements of the norm and suggests changes necessary for implementation of the new quality management system in accordance with the norm ISO 9001: 2015. The first section introduces the field of quality management system in theoretical perspective. Main approaches to quality management system, key terms and short historical review are presented. The norm ISO 9001: 2015 is analysed in detail, especially in relation to its previous version from 2008. Above all, I focus on the changes which the current norm brings and which are necessary to implement to functioning of the company. The second section of the thesis is dedicated to introduction of Sipral a.s. company, analysis of the current state, suggestions for changes and realization of them, which are brought about with implementation of the new norm. Attention is paid especially to areas undergoing essential changes: organizational structure, process model, labour risk and context of the organization. These areas are analysed from the view of the current norm, as well as from the view of the new norm. Transition in accordance with the norm ISO 9001: 2015, which I participated in, is described.
