Crisis argumentation during the press conferencies of government by using grice's maxims
Březinová, Markéta ; Šoltys, Otakar (advisor) ; Kučera, Štěpán (referee)
Submitted bachelor thesis focuses on the crisis communication in politics and on Grice's maxims applied there. In its theoretical part the thesis analyses the terms crisis and crisis communication. It sets the criteria on which the recognition of crisis is based, as well as it offers theories on how one should create and use arguments in these particular situations. Besides that, the thesis also evaluates general argumentation skills used by politicians during unfavourable times and compare them with principles Paul Grice defined as the base for successful communication. The theoretical part hence furthermore describes Grice's maxims, as well as it monitors Czech politics in selected period and necessary context. Second part of the thesis uses semiotic analysis to examine press conference speeches of selected politicians during the government crisis in March and April 2012 and searches for Grice's maxims used there. It also notices the use of language and the character reflection in their speech. With all that, the thesis fills in the gap in Czech literature focused on effective crisis communication in politics.

COVID-19 pandemic from a demographic perspective: an international comparison Abstract The main goal of this work is to compare the course and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic in five European countries (Czechia, Germany, Italy, Spain and Portugal) during the first wave of this pandemic roughly in the spring and summer of 2020. The key observed aspect is the sex and age structure, of both the total population and the population of individuals with confirmed COVID-19 infection and also those who have died. The first part of the work is devoted to the theoretical introduction, definition of basic concepts and summary of the pandemic in all selected countries. Subsequently, differences between countries, age groups and sexes are compared using both crude and standardized rates of incidence, lethality and fatality. The results show that the age and sex structure of the population of confirmed cases has a significant effect on the course and severity of the first wave of the pandemic. Furthermore, a comparison of the differences in the age structure of deaths with COVID-19 and deaths from respiratory diseases before this pandemic is made. A comparison of COVID-19 lethality rates for the first wave of the pandemic and pre-pandemic respiratory diseases lethality rates did not confirm any link between pandemic...

Březinová, Markéta ; Hájková, Jana (advisor) ; Přibyl, Ivan (referee)
The goal of the thesis is to determine the level of motoric abilities of the children in primary school age (years of birth 2006 and 2007) who do the selected sports games such handball, football, volleyball and basketball. I tested the level of motoric abilities using the test battery Unifittest (6 - 60) what is suitable tool for testing. The testing was carried out in six sports clubs in the Central Bohemian Region and the Vysočina Region. I compared the level of motoric abilities of the children in primary school age doing the sports with standard population and subsequently made a comparison between selected sports. The other task was also to determine whether the structure of sport performance of selected sports will influence the level of motoric abilities of the children in primary school age. The research-oriented part proves that there is no significant difference in average results. The testing showed that handball and basketball players have the highest levels of motoric abilities. The research also showed that the sportsmen in primary school age have the worst results in the tests focused on physical condition of players. KEYWORDS younger school-age children, motoric abilities, handball, fotball, voleyball, basketball, Unifittest (6-60)

Parts of this thesis will outline current global energetic situation with the emphasis on oil production and explain the importance of seeking new alternative sources which includes the renewable energy as well as the unconventional oil and gas. With the waning amount of easily accessible light oil reserves it is likely that the unconventional oil resources where the production is both energetically and financially challenging will become more and more important.
