Intervention (the In-Person Presence) of the Public Prosecutor During Trial in the Czech Context
Žibřidová, Alena ; Drápal, Jakub (advisor) ; Richter, Martin (referee)
Intervention (the In-Person Presence) of the Public Prosecutor During Trial in the Czech Context Abstract The public prosecutor, although long over-looked by doctrinal and empirical research, is a vital element that guides the dynamics and the outcome of criminal proceedings. Nevertheless, prosecutorial intervention (the in-person presence) during trial has not yet been theoretically explored or empirically studied. Therefore, we do not know whether prosecutors approach this subject in a principled and consistent manner, with respect to its original purpose. Based on theoretical premises, I first analyse the elements that influence the role of the public prosecutor, and then I apply these to the Czech criminal justice system. I conclude that, regarding the conceptual role of the Czech prosecutor, which prosecutor attends the court hearing is significant. I then propose a theoretical framework, which reflects both the purpose of the institute of intervention and the specifics of the prosecutor's role during trial. In the empirical section of this master's thesis, I explore the practices adopted at district prosecutors' offices across the prosecution system. For this purpose, I develop four research questions that are directed both (i) at the level of the public prosecution service and (ii) at the practice...

Adverbial Clauses of Time with Conjunctions bis, bevor, ehe
Kolář, David ; Šemelík, Martin (advisor) ; Dovalil, Vít (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with subordinate adverbial clauses of time in German introduced by the following conjunctions: bis, bevor and ehe. The theoretical part of the thesis concentrates on the description of adverbial clauses of time in selected grammar books. The introductory chapter of this part presents how this area is dealt with in the grammar book by Gerhard Helbig and Joachim Buscha, which is considered to be a basic handbook for German as a foreign language at an advanced level. This part also describes how these clauses are dealt with in other grammar books. An emphasis is put on comparing this description with the description by Helbig and Buscha. The practical part focuses on the occurrence of adverbial clauses of time in selected sources, namely fiction, newspapers and the DeReKo corpus. The analysis focuses on clauses introduced by bevor, ehe expressing implied negation. Furthermore, the analysis deals with adverbial clauses of time with future reference in which the analysed conjunctions, i.e. bis, bevor and ehe, are interchangeable according to some of the analyzed grammar books. Key words: grammar, subordinate clauses, conjunctions, bis, bevor, ehe, empirical research

The Political Character of Constitutional Review
Juhás, Juraj ; Gerloch, Aleš (advisor) ; Kosař, David (referee) ; Kühn, Zdeněk (referee)
in the English language: The Political Character of Constitutional Review. In this thesis, we tried to find out whether constitutional review in the Czech Republic has at least partially a political character. In the Czech Republic, constitutional review is exercised by the Constitutional Court in two types of proceedings: (a) proceedings on derogation of statutes and other regulations (laws) and (b) proceedings on constitutional complaints against decisions or other interferences of public authorities in constitutionally guaranteed fundamental rights or freedoms. In proceedings on derogation of laws, we found that judicial decision-making behaviour has at least partially a political character. The reason is, in particular, that (a) judges decide in favour of proposals for derogation of laws filed by legislators (deputies or senators) of the same political affiliation as the judges' appointing president more often than when the legislator's political affiliation is the opposite; (b) ideological assessment of the analysed decisions shows that ideological aspects of the decision-making of judges significantly correlate with the presumed ideology of their appointing president. Moreover, the differences in judicial activism are smaller than the differences between legislators of opposite political...

This dissertation thesis deals with lifelong education, specifically a programme provided by the Department of English Language and Literature at Charles University, Prague. The thesis is divided into two parts: theoretical and research. In the theoretical part, the theoretical basis of lifelong education is analysed, as well as trends in selected aspects of it. In the research part, data about appropriate programmes from other European countries as well as curricula from other universities and colleges in the Czech Republic and from abroad are analysed. The results of the pilot stage, the questionnaire distributed among the successful participants of the lifelong education programme, which are followed by semi-structured interviews, are presented and compared.

Grammatical gender - a Czech-Hungarian experimental comparison
Červenková, Michaela ; Januška, Jiří (advisor) ; Křivan, Jan (referee)
This work, Grammatical gender - a Czech-Hungarian experimental comparison deals with the existence of the grammatical gender in language and its influence on the conceptualization of the inanimate objects of its speakers. Its goal is, through carrying out an experiment on Czech language (that means on a language with grammatical gender) and on Hungarian language (that means on a language without grammatical gender) to verify the assumption, that the Czech native speakers would focus on the grammatical gender while responding, unlike the Hungarian native speakers, whose language does not have grammatical gender. For this purpose, two methods are used. In one of them the respondents have to assign a voice to given inanimate objects (either male or female) or as the case may be, they have to assign a first name. The data was collected through an online questionary. The results of the research verified the previous assumption, that means the influence of grammatical gender on the responses of the Czech native speakers. Except for that, the results also brought findings about Hungarian native speakers' responses, who often focused on the first letter of the name of the given object while responding. This work also contains summary of literature about up to date experimental research of grammatical...
