The master thesis Foreigners in Europe: Discourse Analysis of Construction of "Foreigners" in News in Newspapers Die Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung and Lidové noviny deals with the discourse in which the category of foreigner is constituted in the media. National identity, cultural pluralism and citizenship belong to a very progressive area of social science research recently, with wide range of use in public policy, politics, economy or business. The aim of this theses is to identify the discursive constructions used when defining foreigner and to contextualize this foreigner discourse to the German, Czech a European identity. The Critical Discourse Studies as well as an interdisciplinary approach are used, explaining the discourse from the perspectives of national identity, cultural identity and multiculturalism. The results of the grounded theory analysis are applied to the particular discursive constructions and approaches. Also, a new hypothesis - possibly for future verification - is postulated in this thesis. The master thesis presents the hypothesis for potential further research.

Minimum miscibility pressure (MMP) is a key parameter in the design of gas flooding. There are experimental and computational methods to determine MMP. Computational methods are fast and convenient alternatives to otherwise slow and expensive experimental procedures. This research focuses on the computational aspects of MMP estimation. It investigates the shortcomings of the current computational models and offers ways to improve the robustness of MMP estimation. First, we develop a new mixing cell method of estimating MMP that, unlike previous "mixing cell" methods, uses a variable number of cells and is independent of gas-oil ratio, volume of the cells, excess oil volumes, and the amount of gas injected. The new method relies entirely on robust P-T flash calculations using any cubic equation-of-state (EOS). We show that mixing cell MMPs are comparable with those of other analytical and experimental methods, and that our mixing cell method finds all the key tie lines predicted by MOC; however, the method proved to be more robust and reliable than current analytical methods. Second, we identify a number of problems with analytical methods of MMP estimation, and demonstrate them using real oil characterization examples. We show that the current MOC results, which assume that shocks exist from one key tie line to the next may not be reliable and may lead to large errors in MMP estimation. In such cases, the key tie lines determined using the MOC method do not control miscibility, likely as a result of the onset of L₁-L₂-V behavior. We explain the problem with a simplified pseudo-ternary model and offer a procedure for determining when an error exists and for improving the results. Finally, we present a simple mathematical model for predicting the MMP of contaminated gas. Injection-gas compositions often vary during the life of a gasflood because of reinjection and mixing of fluids in situ. Determining the MMP by slim-tube or other methods for each possible variation in the gas-mixture composition is impractical. Our method gives an easy and accurate way to determine impure CO₂ MMPs for variable field solvent compositions on the basis of just a few MMPs. Alternatively, the approach could be used to estimate the enrichment level required to lower the MMP to a desired pressure. / text

This diploma thesis deals with ethical theories in social work. Evaluates the contribution of ethical theories for social work in general and after that also specifically by elaborating three chosen ethical theories- Kant?s rationalistic ethics, Hume?s empiristic ethics and ethics of care. This thesis points to the importace of ethically correct decision making, which is related to the knowledge of fundamental ethical values. Both are an essential part of professionalism of social worker. Ethical theories contribute to a better understanding of ethics and come with theoretical instructions how to apply ethical values in practice.

My Master?s thesis will be dealing with a field trip into the Parliament of the Czech Republic as a part of civics lessons in the 6th to the 9th grade of a primary school. It emphasises the meaning of field trips, their organization and it describes possible difficulties which the organizer can get into. The first part focuses on a political system in the Czech Republic with emphasis on general power division in the land. Its aim is to monitor the evolution of legislative power in Czech lands in the 20th century. The second part deals with a teaching method of a field trip as a progressive teaching method which has been out of interest of pedagogy and didactics. In the third part the emphasis is put on the preparation, accomplishment and consequent evaluation of the field trips into the Parliament of the Czech Republic in a form of a case study. It gives instructions for their organisation and mentions basic data about the running of the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate. It also analyses how much the field trip can supplement theoretical knowledge of the pupils gained in the civics lessons. The aim is to deal with the experience from a direct contact with the observed reality from the point of view of the 6th to the 9th grade primary school pupils. Diploma thesis can be used as a methodical tool for pedagogues of civics lessons to organise field trips into the Parliament of the Czech Republic.

The aim of the Master Thesis is to identify the proportion of authoritarian personality of future social workers. In line with the objective of the work, the research question has been formulated in the following way: On what factors does the proportion of the authoritarian personalities of future social workers depend? Based on the research question the following hypothesis has been determined: Students of the programme Social Work in Public Administration are more authoritarian than the students of the programme Rehabilitation Psychosocial Care of Handicapped Children, Adults and the Seniors. Students of part-time studies are more authoritarian than students of programme Rehabilitation Psychosocial Care of Handicapped Children, Adults and the Seniors. With the increasing age, the proportion of authoritarianism grows. The quantitative research strategy, which was implemented using the questionnaire method through a standardized questionnaire, was selected to achieve the goal. The questioned team consisted of future social workers, namely students of Faculty of Health and Social Sciences in České Budějovice programme Social Work in Public Administration and Rehabilitation Psychosocial Care for Children, Adults and Seniors. Translation of F-scale was taken from the publication of T. W. Adorno. Data analysis were evaluated using descriptive statistics in MS Excel and hypothesis testing was performed in the SPSS statistical program. The research shows that in the first hypothesis statistically significant relationship has been captured in the properties of conventionalisms, authoritarian submission, authoritarian aggression, anti-intraception, power and toughness, destructiveness, projectivity and sexuality. In the second hypothesis, it was tested whether the students studying part-time are more authoritarian than students of full-time studies. A significant relationship was noted in attributes of subordination and authoritarian aggression. In the third hypothesis, it was demonstrated that a statistically significant relationship was detected in the attributes of subordination, authoritarian aggression, and superstition. The outputs of the Master Thesis research can be provided as a feedback for students or social workers. The results could be of interest to the students of the Faculty of Health and Social Sciences at the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice. Authoritarian personality has not yet been processed for social workers.

The Northeast is the only region where the three species occur, the last group being endemic. Northeast s cotton plants can be important sources of variability for genetic breeding. It is believed that great part of local diversity is being lost, due to economic, political, cultural and agricultural problems. In an attempt to mitigate this loss and delineate conservation strategies it is necessary to know how the species are found where they occur. The objective was to characterize and determine how plants are maintained in situ in the states of Maranh?o, Piau?, Cear?, Rio Grande do Norte and Para?ba at the beginning of the XXI century. The in situ characterization of G. hirsutum and G. barbadense was conducted through structured interviews with the cotton plants owners and through the analysis of the environment. The data were collected during expeditions undertaken between the years 2004 to 2005. Twenty-two plants were collected in the state of Para?ba, forty-four in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, one hundred and forty-six in the state of Cear?, forty in the state of Maranh?o and ninety-one plants in the state of Piau?. All plants collected in the states of Para?ba and Rio Grande do Norte belonged to moco type. Moco cotton plants also predominated in the other states, representing 92%, 62% and 78% of plants collected in Cear?, Piau? and Maranh?o, respectively. The other cotton plants collected belong to the species G. barbadense. The cotton plants were found in situ as dooryard plants, roads side, feral populations, cultivation or local varieties. Great part were dooryard plants (45.2%), being major in Piau? and Maranh?o. Cultivation predominated in Cear?; in Rio Grande do Norte feral populations were the most frequent and, in Para?ba, local varieties. The maintenance of moco plants is related, mainly, to the phytotherapic domestic use (20.9%) and to confection of lamp wicks (29.7%). Few inhabitants in Para?ba, Rio Grande do Norte, Piau? and none in Maranh?o used harvest the plants, storage the seeds or gin; however, in Cear?, 40.5% of owners affirmed that they harvested and commercialized the fiber. It was found that the maintenance of species is dependent of the fragile cultural habits of local inhabitants, therefore the maintenance in situ is not a suitable way to conservation of genetic resources. The efforts must be directed to the continuity of collections, maintenance and characterization ex situ / O Brasil ? um dos importantes centros de diversidade de algodoeiros polipl?ides pertencente ao g?nero Gossypium, com 3 esp?cies conhecidas: G. hirsutum, G. barbadense e G. mustelinum. O Nordeste ? a ?nica regi?o com ocorr?ncia das tr?s esp?cies, sendo a ?ltima end?mica. Os algodoeiros desta regi?o podem ser fontes importantes de variabilidade para o melhoramento gen?tico. Acredita-se que grande parte da diversidade local esteja sendo perdida, devido a problemas econ?micos, pol?ticos, culturais e agr?colas. Na tentativa de mitigar tal perda e delinear estrat?gias de conserva??o ? necess?rio conhecer como as esp?cies se encontram no local em que ocorrem. Objetivou-se caracterizar e determinar o modo com que as plantas s?o mantidas in situ nos estados do Maranh?o, Piau?, Cear?, Rio Grande do Norte e Para?ba no inicio do s?culo XXI. A caracteriza??o in situ de G. hirsutum e G. barbadense foi realizada por meio de entrevista estruturada com o propriet?rio e pela an?lise do ambiente. Os dados foram tomados durante expedi??es empreendidas entre os anos de 2004 a 2005. Foram coletadas 22 plantas no estado da Para?ba, 44 no estado do Rio Grande do Norte, 146 no estado do Cear?, 40 no estado do Maranh?o e 91 plantas no estado do Piau?. Todas as plantas coletadas nos estados da Para?ba e Rio Grande do Norte eram do tipo moc?. O algodoeiro moc? tamb?m predominou nos demais estados, representando 92%, 62% e 78% das plantas coletadas no Cear?, Piau? e Maranh?o, respectivamente. Os demais algodoeiros coletados pertencem a esp?cie G. barbadense. Os algodoeiros moc?s foram encontrados in situ na forma de planta de fundo de quintal, beira de estrada, feral, lavoura, variedade local. Em grande parte eram do tipo fundo de quintal (45,2%), sendo maioria no Piau? e Maranh?o. No Cear? predominou o tipo lavoura, no Rio Grande do Norte tipo feral e na Para?ba variedades locais. A manuten??o das plantas do tipo moc? est? ligada, principalmente, ao uso dom?stico fitoter?pico (20,9%) e confec??o de pavios para candeeiro (29,7%). Poucos moradores na Para?ba, Rio Grande do Norte, Piau? e nenhum no Maranh?o apresentaram o h?bito de realizar a colheita, armazenamento e beneficiamento das sementes, entretanto no Cear? 40,5% dos propriet?rios afirmaram realizar a colheita e comercializar a fibra. Verificou-se que a manuten??o da esp?cie ? dependente dos fr?geis h?bitos culturais da popula??o local, portanto a manuten??o in situ n?o ? um meio adequado ? conserva??o dos recursos gen?ticos. Os esfor?os devem ser direcionados para a continuidade das coletas, caracteriza??o e manuten??o ex situ

Desde sua descoberta no sistema nervoso, NO tem sido implicado em diversas fun??es, o que condiz com sua ampla distribui??o no enc?falo. NO tamb?m tem sido descrito no enc?falo de diversas esp?cies animais, mas ainda n?o foi descrito em moc? (Kerodon rupestris), um roedor end?mico da caatinga brasileira que habita ?reas rochosas e tem h?bitos crepusculares. Devido a estas caracter?sticas interessantes objetivamos descrever a distribui??o do NO do dienc?falo do moc?. Atrav?s das t?cnicas de imunoperoxidase padr?o contra a ?xido n?trico sintase (NOS), enzima de s?ntese de NO, e histoqu?mica para NADPH-diaforase pudemos identificar de forma indireta a presen?a de neur?nios nitr?rgicos ao longo de todo dienc?falo. O hipot?lamo apresentou uma densidade alta de neur?nios imunorreativos a NOS (NOS-IR) em v?rios n?cleos, dentre eles alguns como o n?cleo supra?ptico, decussa??o supra?ptica e a parte lateral da ?rea retroquiasm?tica. Com densidade moderada temos a ?rea pr?-?ptica lateral, o n?cleo pr?-?ptico magnocelular, a parte parvocelular anterior e a parte parvocelular medial do n?cleo paraventricular do hipot?lamo, o n?cleo ventrolateral do hipot?lamo, a parte peduncular da ?rea hipotal?mica lateral e o n?cleo posterior do hipot?lamo. A divis?o anterior do n?cleo ventromedial do hipot?lamo e a ?rea hipotal?mica dorsal apresentaram densidade baixa, e a parte lateral do n?cleo pr?-?ptico medial apresentou densidade muito baixa. No t?lamo, neur?nios NOS-IR estiveram presentes no n?cleo geniculado ventral com densidade alta. Na parte lateral do n?cleo habenular lateral, o n?cleo tal?mico posterodorsal ventral e a parte mediocaudal do n?cleo tal?mico posterior com densidade moderada. O n?cleo paraventricular do t?lamo, zona incerta e o n?cleo tal?mico parafascicular, apresentaram densidade baixa. Comparando nossos resultados com o descrito em outros animais podemos dizer que o sistema nitr?gico ? um sistema de neurotransmissor evolutivamente bem conservado. / Nitric oxide (NO) is a simple molecule (N=O), a gas with a free radical property whose until the 80s was considered a member of a family of environmental pollutants and a potential carcinogen. Since its discovery in the nervous system, NO has been implicated in several functions, what suits with its wide distribution in the brain. NO has been described in the brain of many animal species, but it was not described in the brain of the rocky cave (Kerodon rupestris), an endemic rodent of the Brazilian caatinga that inhabits rocky areas and have crepuscular habits. Due to these interesting characteristics we aim to describe the NO distribution of the rocky cavy diencephalon. Using standard immunoperoxidase against nitric oxide synthase (NOS), the NO synthesis enzyme, and histochemistry for NADPH-diaphorase, we were able to indirectly identify the presence of nitrergic neurons throughout the entire diencephalon. The hypothalamus showed a high density of NOS-IR neurons in several nuclei, among them the supraoptic nucleus, supraoptic decussation and the lateral part of the retrochiasmatic area. With moderate density we have the lateral pre-optic area, the preocular magnocellular nucleus, the anterior parvocellular part and the medial parvocellular part of the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus, the ventrolateral nucleus of the hypothalamus, the peduncular part of the lateral hypothalamic area and the posterior nucleus of the hypothalamus. The anterior division of the ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus and the dorsal hypothalamic area presented low density, and the lateral part of the medial pre-optic nucleus presented very low density. In the thalamus, NOS-IR neurons were present in the ventral geniculate nucleus with high density. In the lateral part of the lateral habenular nucleus, the ventral posterodorsal thalamic nucleus and the mediocaudal part of the posterior thalamic nucleus with moderate density. The paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus, zona incerta and the parafascicular thalamic nucleus, presented low density. Comparing our results with those described in other animals we can say that the nitric system is an evolutionarily well-conserved neurotransmitter system.

The thesis deals with the power in the Gospel of John, specifically with the term EXOUSIA, which means power or authority. This thesis engages in separate passages of the Gospel of John in which the evangelist uses the term EXOUSIA, it examines its context in which was the term used and tries to determine in which meaning it is used. Thereby,this thesis tries to answer the question what does the evangelist understand under the term power (EXOUSIA).

This thesis examines the issues of body, embodiment and indentity in relation to the novel Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk. The duality between speech and embodiment is explored in depth, both in the story of the novel and in the author's narrative style. Furthermore, the issue of power in relation to the society as well as towards one's own identity is discussed.

This thesis defines courts as pure public goods. It deals with the inclusion of the courts of the state powers, deals with the courts in terms of performance of the state administration. It draws attention to the problem of the system of courts, which doesn't correspond in terms of the territoral aspect with distribution of land in the Czech Republic and also connects on this research transport service courts. Then examines the issue of provision of services and satisfaction of the courts of such services.
