The Master's thesis "ETA in Spanish Fiction Movies: Product or Creator of Spanish Collective Memory?" focuses on the interrelationship between history, cinematic representations and the way individuals perceive the traumatic past of Spanish history related to the Basque separatist organization ETA. Althought in the recent years there has been a proliferation of literature on collective memory, the approach, which this research follows, fills the gap by combining the macro-level (public) and micro-level (personal) of collective memory. Using the dynamics memory perspective, a theoretical framework that has grown popular within the multidisciplinary territories of collective memory scholarship, the thesis analyses four movies dealing with the ETA subject. These works allow us reflect on how the Basque separatist organization is portrayed in Spanish cinema and how this image has changed through time. To complement the investigation at the macrolevel, semi-structured interviews with 14 participants were conducted, searching for answers how cinematic representations influence people's perception of ETA and its actions. In both cases, thematic analysis was employed as a technique of data analysis

(in English) The main goal of the diploma thesis "The Possibility of Social Work in Rural Areas. On the Example of the Village Majdalena" is to introduce possible implementations of social work in villages or rural communities on the example of Majdalena, a village located in the South Bohemia region, Czech Republic. The theoretical portion of this thesis describes different approaches to social work and the status of a small community in the Czech welfare system, primarily with focus on social work. Legislative background of social work in a village and community social worker's job duties and responsibilities are also discussed in the thesis. The hands-on research presented in this work focuses on Majdalena, Czech Republic. A sociodemographic analysis and a field survey were conducted to characterize the investigated community, in addition to two case studies targeting Majdalena citizens. Finally, conclusions include suggestions of particular goals and objectives for a social worker in Majdalena.

The aim of this thesis is to verify and analyse presumed relations between selected macro-fundamentals, namely USD exchange rate, production index, interbank offered rate, inflation, money supply and two exogenous indices ( Standard & Poor's 500 and EURO STOXX 50), and CEE (Austria, Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary) or SEE (Bulgaria, Croatia, Slovenia, Romania) financial markets over the period from December 1995 to December 2015. In order to test the long-run cointegration relationships between studied markets and the set of macroeconomic variables, the Engle-Granger and Johansen tests are applied. The vector error correction model is used to confirm the long-run equilibrium interlinkages and the results show similar trend tendencies between stock indices and some of the macro-fundamentals in Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Romania. To verify the short-run causal linkages, the Granger causality test is employed. Based on retrieved findings, the efficiency of studied markets with respect to Efficient Market Theory is reviewed. Our findings reveal several pairwise short-run causal impacts between studied macroeconomic indicators and stock indices. The only indicator which does not impact any stock market is the interbank offered rate. Moreover, according to our results, all CEE&SEE stock...

In der soziologischen Theoriebildung besteht ein weitgehender Konsens darüber, dass die theoriebildende Leitdifferenz von Handlung und Struktur nicht mehr dichotom konzeptualisiert werden kann, sondern analytisch überwunden werden muss. Die vorliegende Arbeit konzentriert sich auf die Arbeiten von Anthony Giddens und prüft, inwiefern der hierin entwickelte Ansatz eines strukturierungstheoretischen Theoriemodells die bestehenden Defizite der soziologischen Theorie überwinden kann. Hierfür werden Kategorien für einen Theorievergleich entwickelt, auf Grundlage derer die Kernannahmen der Strukturierungstheorie in sozialtheoretischer, soziologischer und analytischer Hinsicht systematisch rekonstruiert werden. Angesichts der zentralen Thesen von Giddens, wonach das bislang dualistisch bestimmte Verhältnis von Handeln und Struktur in eine wechselseitige Dualität überführt werden müsse, die soziologische Ordnungsproblematik von ihrer Norm- und Wertzentriertheit auf eine Formzentriertheit, die die Kategorien von Raum und Zeit in die Analyse mit auf nimmt, umgestellt wird und sich damit auch die Bestimmung der Grunddimensionen der Moderne grundlegend ändern, lässt sich die Theorie der Strukturierung als eine Theorie mit Allgemeinheitsanspruch charakterisieren. Zwar finden sich in Giddens Arbeiten theoretisch weitreichende Vorschläge, die soziologischen Grundprobleme neu zu bestimmen, gleichzeitig zeigt sich aber auch, dass er es versäumt hat, die Relationen zwischen den einzelnen Problemebenen ausreichend zu reflektieren. Es wird aber auch deutlich, dass auf der Grundlage der bisher vorliegenden strukturierungstheoretischen Begriffe und Methoden ein analytisches Modell entwickelt werden kann, auf dessen Basis sich konkrete soziale Prozesse und Felder aufklären lassen. Strukturierung stellt somit kein neues Paradigma im Sinne einer Metatheorie dar, sondern umfasst eine Vielzahl von grundlegenden Einsichten und analytischen Möglichkeiten für ein soziologisches Forschungsprogramm, das es noch deutlicher auszuarbeiten gilt. / In the sociological theory formation, there is a far-reaching agreement that a theory forming difference between action and structure cannot be conceptualised bipartitely but has to be overcome analytically. This paper is concentrating on the works of Anthony Giddens and examines to what extent the developed approach of a theoretical concept may overcome the existing deficits of the sociological theory. For a theory comparison, categories have been developed which systematically reconstruct the central acceptances of the theory of structuration in theoretical, sociological, and analytical regard. In view of Giddens’s major theses, according to which the relationship of action and structure determined till now dualistically must be convicted into a mutual duality, the questions of sociological order must change from a concentration on standards and values to a category which includes in its analysis both scope and time and thus fundamentally change the basic dimensions of the modern age, the theory of structuration can be characterized as a theory of general validity. However, in Giddens’s work we find far-reaching theoretical suggestions for a determination of the sociological basic problems, however, it turns out that he failed to reflect the relation between the individual problem levels sufficiently. On the other side, it is evident that on the basis of the theoretical concepts and methods existing till now an analytical model can be developed which contributes to the solution of concrete social processes and fields. Therefore, the theory of structuration doesn’t represent a new paradigm in the sense of a metatheory but contains a variety of basic insights and analytical possibilities for a sociological research program which has to be worked out still more considerably.

In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird die Entwicklung eines kinetischen Energy Harvesters vorgestellt, der auf Grundlage des elektrostatischen Wandlerprinzips aus Vibrationen elektrische Energie generiert. Für die Umsetzung wurde eine Siliziummikrostruktur entworfen, die für Arbeitsfrequenzen unter 100 Hz ausgelegt ist. Die Zahnstruktur der verwendeten Elektroden ermöglicht Spaltabstände im Submikrometerbereich und folglich große Kapazitätsänderungen, die durch die Elektrodengeometrie zusätzlich mit einer höheren Frequenz als die mechanische Bewegung stattfinden. Vergleichsweise große Leistungsausbeuten und geringe Quellimpedanzen sind dadurch erreichbar. Die geometrischen Parameter der Elektroden wurden unter Berücksichtigung der auftretenden Fertigungstoleranzen und Wechselwirkungen zueinander optimiert. Für die Ausnutzung einer ausreichend großen Inertialmasse wurde ein feinwerktechnisch hergestellter Hebelmechanismus an die Mikrostruktur angekoppelt. Über diesen wird zusätzlich ein neuer Ansatz zur Abstimmung der Eigenfrequenz des Harvesters umgesetzt. Experimentelle Untersuchungen zeigten Ausgangsleistungen im einstelligen Mikrowattbereich bei Anregungen im Zehntel m/s²-Bereich. Durch fortschreitende Optimierungen der Fertigungstechnologie sind noch deutliche Leistungssteigerungen um mindestens zwei Größenordnungen möglich. Weiterhin wird ein Energiemanagementsystem vorgestellt, welches die effiziente Übertragung der Energie auf den Verbraucher ermöglicht. / In this work the development of a kinetic energy harvester using the electrostatic conversion principle is presented. The silicon microstructure is designed to work in frequency ranges below 100Hz. Its toothed electrode structure enables gap distances in the sub micrometer range and consequently high changes of capacitance. Additionally, due to the electrode geometry the frequency of the capacitance changes is higher then the frequency of the mechanical movement. Thus high power outputs and low source impedances can be reached. The electrodes geometric parameters were optimized considering manufacturing tolerances and interactions of the parameters. To reach a sufficient inertial mass, a lever mechanism manufactured by precision engineering was connected to the microstructure. This mechanism also allows the implementation of a new method of frequency tuning. In experimental tests power outputs in the single digit microwatt range under excitations of 0.3 m/s² were reached. In accordance of further optimizations of the manufacturing technology significantly higher outputs, by at least two orders of magnitude, are possible,. Furthermore an energy management system is presented, that allows the efficient transfer of the electrical energy to the consumer.

This dissertation describes the relationship between inflation and unemployment with the concept of the natural rate of unemployment at which inflation remains unchanged. By comparing NAIRU, as defined in this manner, with the actual unemployment rate, we obtain the gap in unemployment. In connection with the analysed substitution between inflation and unemployment, there can be found a decrease in the importance of the PC in the 1970s, a very popular New Keynesian PC in the 1990s, and doubts over the robustness of the estimates. On the other hand, the concept of the PC and the NAIRU had previously been developed in accordance with the real data. There is a broad consensus on the impact of monetary policy on nominal variables (inflation) and real variables (unemployment). Methods are also being combined and continuously improved This dissertation is seeking to prove or disprove the hypothesis of the NAIRU concept's usability in estimating the economic cycle on the labor market. This hypothesis has helped in the acceptance of: the support for the concept and estimating PC and NAIRU in the literature; the application of measures to refine the estimate of the NAIRU and PC in the empirical analysis of the dissertation; the dissertation conclusion's compliance with the latest international research, with the local authors and with the own research. The contribution of the dissertation can be identified thusly: distribution methods depend upon the different time periods, their treatment and the best methods for the conditions of the countries in the Visegrad Group; the specification of an unstable environment and its impact upon the estimation of the NAIRU and the economic cycle; the calculation of the unemployment rate of the sectors, age categories and their use in estimating the NAIRU and cycle on the meso-level; to determine the effect of different pricing structure indicators in order to estimate the NAIRU and the economic cycle on the labor market and the topicality of their estimates.
