Media Image of Russians in Carlsbadˇs press
Čepelák, Václav ; Šoltys, Otakar (advisor) ; Kubíčková, Vladimíra (referee)
1 Abstract The thesis intends to explore the ways of creating the image of Carlsbad Russians in the mass media. These ways are researched by the quantitative content analysis. The sample for this analysis was constructed by a selection of articles from the years 2006-2010 from the Mediasearch database (provided by Newton Media, Corp.) according to described selection criteria. This analysis is set in the context of various sociological theories (esp. to explain the context of the relationship between the Russian community and local population) and several theories that focus on the functioning of media with a special emphasis on the construction of foreign communities' image. The research shows how the media image of Russians in the Carlsbad press has been stereotypized, to what extent they have been individualized in the articles and with which contextual topics they have been connected most often. Another output of the analysis is a typology which characterizes the basic modes of providing information about the community. Relatively low overall number of articles about the Russians shows the difficulty of access of the community to the media. It is demonstrated that in the two strongest types of articles, building and property ownership is connected with Russians and with cohabitation of the two ethnic...

Historic heavy floods in Carlsbad and flood control of this world-famous spa town
Munzar, Jan ; Ondráček, Stanislav
The known spa town of Karlovy Vary (Carslbad), named after Emperor Charles IV (1316-1378) and situated along the lower reach of the Teplá River before its opening into the Ohře River, has been undoubtedly troubled by high water since the very beginning of its existence. The town location has always been connected with a great risk of floods. One of the best- documented old flood events is the disastrous flood from 9 May 1582 caused by cloud burst during a storm on the upper reach of Teplá R. Notable floods of the 19th century include e.g. the heavy flood of September 1821 and namely the disaster of November 1890 during which a considerable part of the spa was devastated.Immense flood losses whose rectification took a long time were a new impetus for discussions resulting in numerous proposals for the implementation of possible flood control measures in the future. Often mentioned was the need of building water reservoirs.World War I had delayed the implementation of these measures and the water reservoir at Březová was constructed on the Teplá River in order to protect the town as late as 1932-1936.
