From rhetoric to reality? Analyzing the gendered dimension in peace agreements
Gokarn, Nivedita ; Nisbet, Jolan (advisor) ; Karásek, Tomáš (referee)
According to UNSCR 1325, the involvement of women in peace processes is evaluated in this article. It draws attention to the discrepancies between 'representation' in peace accords like the R-ARCCSS and JPA and 'participation' in the peace negotiations to determine the degree to which their perspectives were considered, and overall gender aspect was highlighted. This article contends that women's involvement in the peace talks in South Sudan was only a checklist activity. The social structure of the society and the absence of institutional mechanisms hindered the substantive representation of women. The paper goes on to say that since female negotiators must shoulder the burden of a peace deal, symbolic inclusiveness may even have unintended consequences. The investigation discovers a significant discrepancy between the peace accords and the whole process. It also makes note of the fact that Sudanese society tends to make it difficult for members to participate meaningfully, which has an effect on how long the peace will survive. Consequently, this research emphasizes how institutional processes are gendered by adopting a constructivist viewpoint.

NORTHERN EUROPE AND THE LOOMING RUSSIA: IS EUROPE (NOT) ENOUGH? Different approaches to a European integrated defence: the cases of Norway and Finland.
Bertoldini, Raul ; Kofroň, Jan (advisor) ; Riegl, Martin (referee)
RAUL BERTOLDINI MASTER'S THESIS ABSTRACT 08/2023 NORTHERN EUROPE AND THE LOOMING RUSSIA: IS EUROPE (NOT) ENOUGH? Different approaches to a European integrated defence: the cases of Norway and Finland This master's thesis investigates Finland and Norway's geopolitical landscape and security strategies amid Europe's evolving security environment. The research scrutinises how these Nordic nations have managed their relations with the European Union (EU), North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), and Russia, set against the backdrop of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and escalating tensions in the Arctic region. An in-depth analysis of historical contexts, paths to EU membership, and debates on NATO affiliation underscore the intricate balance these countries maintain in preserving their unique national identities and sovereignty while engaging with regional structures and alliances for security. The study illustrates how the Ukraine conflict prompted strategic realignments, with both Finland and Norway opting for closer ties with the EU and NATO to protect their sovereignty, yet they perceive the security guarantees offered by these two organisations differently. Ultimately, the thesis offers valuable insights into the adaptive and proactive strategies these countries employ in response to current...

Design and control of smart charging station for electric scooters
SCHOLZ, Luděk
This thesis focuses on constructing a smart charging station for electric scooters at the Department of Computer Science, Faculty of Science. The first part of the work is dedicated to researching available solutions. The second part involves the analysis and design of a custom solution, which is further divided into three components: the server, station, and dock. Each component undergoes its analysis, design, and implementation. The thesis addresses the design of mechanical parts, the method of locking and charging, as well as the development of software for the server, enabling management and logging of scooter usage, and for the station, providing a user interface. The goal is to create a functional and modular station that allows users to charge electric scooters conveniently and securely at the department, with the readiness for future expansion.

Treating social media platforms as public utility: the case of the DSA package
Rybnikár, Jakub ; Špelda, Petr (advisor) ; Střítecký, Vít (referee)
Social media platforms have become deeply entrenched in contemporary social reality. For this, there has been a surge in scholarship investigating the numerous harms and risks such technoscientific artifacts pose to society. To tackle the risks, the European Union has put forward a set of policy initiatives and legislative proposals that ought to provide a comprehensive response to the increasingly fragile security environment. Despite recent efforts to take on this emerging security threat, there has been very little theoretical and empirical scholarship regarding the intersection between security, technology and law. One of the most intriguing, yet heavily understudied, areas of this intersection is the conceptual understanding of social media platforms. Based on recent insights from security, media and legal scholars, this thesis seeks to introduce a new agenda to the discipline of security studies by applying a novel concept, it being public utility, on social media platforms and thus producing crucial empirical evidence. Utilizing the multiple streams framework, the thesis performs a qualitative content analysis on the EU stakeholders' contributions to the European Commission consultation on the Digital Services Act package. The analysis of the selected texts reveals a significant overlap...

The content of my diploma thesis is the implementation of a security minimum for a company based on available literature and knowledge acquired during the study at BUT Faculty of Management. The first part will focus on the theoretical background of the work. The second part will focus on the analysis of the current state and the third part will focus on proposing a solution, which will be based on the analysis of the current state, legislation, and the theoretical background of the work. The conclusion of the work will summarize the results of the implementation based on an external audit and future steps that the company can take to improve their security.

Information System Design
Breckl, Jakub ; MBA,, Tomáš Vymětal, (referee) ; Koch, Miloš (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with the description of design of an information system for a state institution, which will provide a secure repository for the exchange of documents between the institution and external users of online public administration services. The main purpose of this system is to be used especially for remote access to administrative proceedings files, thus extending the possibilities beyond the viewing defined by the current legislation. The thesis is divided into three main parts: the definition of the theoretical foundations, the analysis of the current situation and description of the system design.
