Training of professional interpreters in the Czech Republic
Lišková, Martina ; Pokojová, Jana (advisor) ; Mračková Vavroušová, Petra (referee)
This master's thesis deals with the education of professional interpreters in the Czech Republic, their association in Czech professional organizations and their further self-development. It focuses on the further (self-)education of interpreters after their interpreting studies. It explores how interpreters maintain their linguistic knowledge and interpreting competences and how they continue their education in business skills, which are often necessary for the interpreting profession. It provides a more comprehensive overview of electronic resources and speech databases that can be used to train interpreting and language skills; events, lectures, courses, and professional groups that can be attended. It also gives an overview of blogs and podcasts that can be used to improve not only interpreting but also business skills, regardless of language combination. The empirical part includes an evaluation of a questionnaire survey of Czech professional interpreters, focusing on whether they are members of Czech professional organizations, how they maintain their interpreting skills and language proficiency, and to what extent they are educated in other (business) areas related to interpreting work. Key words Interpreting, educating interpreters, self-education, self-studying, professional interpreting...

Changes of the Literacy Concept
Lišková, Martina ; Kopecký, Martin (advisor) ; Dvořáková, Miroslava (referee)
This paper treats changes of the literacy concept. It presents five most important conceptual frameworks, such as literacy rate, functional literacy, Freirean framework, New literacy studies and literacies of information. Literacy can be defined as the ability to read and write, as a set of basic skills or as competencies. Because of OECD's influence, the functional literacy concept is the most powerful one. Literacy involves a continuum and is oriented mostly towards economical outputs. Influence of OECD is supported by the international surveys IALS, ALL, PIAAC, PISA and LAMP. The surveys TIMSS and PIRLS organized by IEA are influential as well. This paper summarizes the most important critical reviews to the OECD's methodology and to the interpretation of the results. It also comments current activities of OECD, UNESCO and European union. Based on the socio- cultural framework, it brings in several recommendations how states and organizations could approach literacy and its assessment. The paper relies on the documents of UNESCO, OECD, IEA, the World Bank, the European union and on the published works of foreign and local experts.

Sustainability of the pension reform in Slovakia
Lišková, Martina ; Janotík, Tomáš (advisor) ; Dózsa, Martin (referee)
This paper explores the sustainability of pension system in Slovakia on the local institutional, socio- economic and political background, analyzing the past and current reforms and their impact on public finance. In the first, theoretical part of the paper, the World Bank strategy is sketched out to provide general framework for sustainability of reforms and their goals, and actual past reforms that took place in Slovakia from 2004 until present are dissected. These reforms are most notable for their reorientation from pure pay-as-you-go system to combined PAYG and fully funded system. While this step alleviates the crushing implicit social security debt to some extent, it is shown that not even the latest reforms alone will suffice to cover the increasing burden of the pension system on public spending. Therefore, in the empirical part of the paper, several parametric reforms are proposed and are analyzed from long term perspective (until 2100) using the World Bank PROST economic model. These scenarios approximately represent some of the reforms currently on the table that could be carried out in the near future. The varying inputs are retirement age, the contribution rate for the fully funded system, the replacement rate, the affiliation rate and the type of valorization, with the output being...
