This thesis deals with the financial literacy and its teaching at Czech primary schools. First, a brief summary of activities supporting financial education is presented. In the second part, there are some of the conclusions of research the level of financial knowledge and also available teaching materials described. The main chapter analyzes the project "Rozumíme penězům" and the textbook "Finanční gramotnost pro 2. stupeň ZŠ". Content and methodological point of view are the most important. The thesis also determines whether both materials meet requirements of Financial Literacy Standards and PISA.

This thesis embarks on a journey to investigate the discourse contained within the policy documents examined by utilizing the topic modeling technique labeled Latent Dirichlet Allocation. The aforementioned investigation will be conducted through the theoretical lens of Systems Theory and Discourse Analysis Theory. The thesis aims to identify the core constituents, form a consensus and enrich the scientific communities’ understanding regarding how these core constituents alongside the discourse contained within the policy documents shape the overall landscape of AI governance in continental Europe. Furthermore, prior to an in depth investigation of the methods and theoretical frameworks mentioned above commences, an introduction is presented to give additional insight to the background of AI & the problem formulation. The results of this study reveal 8 inferred themes. These inferred themes are then thoroughly discussed in alignment with the principles and concepts set forth by the theoretical frameworks. The thesis then provides a conclusive penultimate subchapter that encapsulates the key points and directly addresses the research question before highlighting possible future research opportunities.

Researchers seem to disagree to which extent the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 led to a change in the United States' view of the legitimate use of military force. Therefore, this interpretive case study aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of the American strategic culture at the national level and whether the war on terror indicates a fundamental change or a fine-tuning of their strategic culture. Based on the first generation of research, which emphasizes the importance of context, I first identified through previous research which norms that can be considered to be the foundational elements in the U.S. strategic culture in a previous context: War is understood as a crusade against evil, American values are considered to be universal, victory in war must be quickly attainable and U.S. casualties should be minimal. These norms were later analyzed in various national strategies published both before and after the terrorist attacks to identify changes and continuity in the collective identity. The result shows that the war on terror points towards a fine-tuning in the strategic culture that took place primarily in synchronization. Even as the measures presented in the strategies - such as a stronger emphasis on preemptive, unilateral actions and an innovation of the military forces - indicated a change in the strategic culture, and as the fourth norm could not be identified as well in two of the strategies published during the war on terror, none of the identified norms were replaced with new ones. Instead, through revised security policy standpoints that can be seen through these observable changes in the strategies, the norms seem to have been adapted and received different values to suit the new external environment.

However, in recent years, the question got more importance and issues related to this subject began to gain more prominence, including in the media (for example, the military Gripen fighter aircraft purchase). The institutionalization of defense in Brazil had important milestones since the creation of the Ministry of Defense (MD) in 1999, through the elaboration of National Defense Policy (PND) in 2005, the National Defense Strategy (END) in 2008 and, finally, National Defense White Paper (LBDN) in 2012. Civil-military relations are grounded by visions often distinct about defense, but greater convergence is needed in achieving shared understanding. However, there is still a long way to be traversed until the society is able to understand and gets more involved with such relevant topic of national interest. The purpose of this study is to analyze the degree of implementation of the National Defense Strategy policies and to evaluate the factors that influenced the actions that were proposed for its execution. / O debate sobre defesa no Brasil ainda fica aquém de sua importância estratégica para o país. Entretanto, nos anos recentes, a questão passou a ganhar maior relevância e assuntos relacionados ao tema começam a ganhar mais destaque, inclusive na mídia (compra dos caças Gripen, por exemplo). A institucionalização da Defesa no Brasil teve importantes marcos desde a criação do Ministério da Defesa (MD) em 1999, passando pela elaboração da Política Nacional de Defesa (PND) em 2005, da Estratégia Nacional de Defesa (END) em 2008 e, finalmente, do Livro Branco de Defesa Nacional (LBDN) em 2012. As relações civis militares são pautadas por visões muitas vezes distintas sobre a Defesa, é preciso que haja uma maior convergência nesse entendimento. Entretanto, ainda há um longo caminho a ser percorrido para que a sociedade compreenda e tenha um maior envolvimento com tema tão relevante de interesse nacional. O presente estudo objetiva analisar o grau de implementação das diretrizes da Estratégia Nacional de Defesa (END) e avaliar os motivos que impactaram nas ações propostas para sua efetivação.

The aim of this thesis is to examine discourses that surround the role of libraries as democratic institutions. This is done by studying the proposal for a National Strategy for Libraries, The Treasure Trove of Democracy. and the reactions to that document in two library journals. The questions asked are the following: how is the democratic role depicted in the proposal for a national library strategy? What were the reactions and what discourses characterized the relationship between the two library journals and the proposal for a national strategy? Are there any lines of conflict or tension within the identified discourses? Four discourses were identified: the library-democracy discourse, the children discourse, the political-administrative discourse and judiciary-argumentative discourse. Three out of the four discourses were present in both the library journals and the proposed strategy except the library- democratic discourse which was only explicitly found in the latter. The results indicate that the tension within the child discourse concerned means rather than objectives. The political-administrative discourse concerned demarcation questions regarding the municipal self-government. The judiciary- argumentative discourse permeated the entire empirical material and was rarely contested. The library-democratic discourse was the only discourse identified which was clearly present in the proposal for a National Strategy for Libraries and not in the two library journals. We suggest that this omission could be explained against the background of that the democratic role often is taken for granted.

The purpose of this bachelor’s thesis is to examine the libraries' view of their own role and its relation to democracy, to identify any obstacles to the library's mission on being an inclusive public space. We do this through a qualitative content analysis, based on intersectional theory, on the proposal for a National Strategy for Libraries, The Treasure Trove of Democracy. We conclude that depictions of libraries and librarianship represented in the empirical material limits the ability to break down discriminatory structures within the institution.

The diploma thesis deals with the issue of Global Development Education and the process of the implementation of National Strategy for Global Development Education in Czech primary schools. In 2011, the National Strategy for Global Development Education came into force, thereby Czech Republic adopted the principles and objectives of Global Development Education. Goals that are defined in the document are supposed to be implemented in the next five years. However, as the thesis shows the implementation is a complex process that depends on a wide range of aspects. The author has attempted to identify factors that influence the success of the implementation process. In addition, the thesis tried to answer the question of whether the implementation of the goals of the strategy thrive or fail, and explain why this is happening. With the use of ongoing evaluation practical recommendations to improve the process of implementation of the National Strategy for Global Development Education was proposed. It was pointed out that the causes of imperfect implementation can be as unfavorable socio-economic conditions, as well as poorly defined policy objectives, lack of systemic support from the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports, the lack of cooperation between the actors involved or inadequate use of...

The theoretical framework was based on interorganizational network theories and, more specifically, on public policy network theories. The main focus of the research was therefore to study relations of collaboration and cooperation that transcend organizacional boundaries and provide more flexibility and greater scope to the process of constructing public policies. The empirical context chosen for discussion was the relationship between brazilian institutions that work together in anti-money laundering efforts. This context has been chosen by the perception that the practice of financial crimes bring huge losses to countries that need to overcome economic and social inequalities. The construction of public policies that are relevant and effective in the prevention and punishment of money laundering crimes can be translated into benefits for the entire economy of a nation. The reflexive methodology proved to be the most suitable for achieving the goals of this research. From the construction of empirical data, it was possible to create constructs that sintetize benefits and challanges of public policy networks. The following interpretative conections reinforce the idea that the external network performance will be perceived by society as more effective the better the internal network performance. If internal network performance improves, it becomes possible to overcome endogeous and exogenous barriers to the network, what improves the results of interaction among participants, leading to more effective results for society. / O objetivo desta pesquisa foi compreender de que modo a emergência de estilos de gestão pública baseados em rede pode contribuir para a construção de políticas públicas relacionadas à prevenção e repressão à lavagem de dinheiro. O arcabouço teórico fundamentou-se nas teorias de redes interorganizacionais, mais especificamente, nas redes de políticas públicas. Foram estudadas relações de colaboração e cooperação que, por transcenderem os limites organizacionais, garantem maior flexibilidade e abrangência ao processo de construção de políticas públicas. As reflexões sobre estas teorias foram realizadas a partir de um contexto empírico específico: o da articulação entre instituições brasileiras que atuam na prevenção e repressão à lavagem de dinheiro. Este contexto foi escolhido pela percepção de que a prática de ilícitos financeiros traz enormes prejuízos a nações que precisam superar desigualdades econômicas e sociais. A escolha metodológica foi motivada por questões ontológicas e epistemológicas que apontaram a metodologia reflexiva como a mais adequada para o alcance dos objetivos propostos na pesquisa. A partir da construção dos dados empíricos foi possível criar construtos que sintetizam os benefícios e desafios da constituição de redes de políticas públicas. As conexões interpretativas subsequentes reforçam a ideia de que os espíritos democrático, republicano e de cooperação devem nortear os valores compartilhados na rede. Assim, se a atuação interna da rede se aprimora, torna-se possível superar entraves endógenos (foco apenas na boa reputação externa) e exógenos (pressão das elites corruptas) à rede, o que resulta em uma melhor interação entre os participantes, gerando resultados mais efetivos para a sociedade.

本論文旨在探討中共海洋戰略發展之相關條件、環境、具體措施，以及對周邊國家所產生的影響。後冷戰時期國際情勢緩和，發生大規模戰爭的可能性已大幅降低，地區爭端和衝突反而浮現出來。因地緣政治環境的改變，台海、南海地區已成為區域衝突的引爆點。中共研析波灣戰爭之經驗，放棄「早打、大打、打核戰」時時臨戰之觀念，強調「質量建軍打贏高科技局部戰爭」之策略，故調整戰略方向由陸上走向海洋，以保障其國家利益、國防安全及完成統一中國之企圖。就整體國力言，中共自1978年實施經濟改革後．，經濟成長快速，國家競爭力上升，無庸置疑，已經成為亞太地區經濟大國。而蘇聯解體後，中共來自北方威脅降低，有利其海洋之發展。又因沿海海洋爭奪及領土紛爭問題亟待解決，更全力擴展其海軍武力。中共在 1998年就制定了「中國二十一世紀海洋議程」，提出中國海洋事業永續發展政策。同年中共國務院在國際海洋年會中提出《中國海洋事業發展白皮書》，其中明文主張「中國是發展中沿海大國」。中共大力發展海洋戰略，已為亞太地區安全投下一個變數，亞太各國均深感不安。加上區域內互信機制不夠健全，中共時時對台灣文攻武嚇，更增加地區衝突之危險性。故未來台海、南海問題最後是以和平方式或兵戎相見收場，中共的戰略作為就顯得十分重要。 關鍵字：亞太戰略；國家戰略；海洋戰略；海軍戰略；海軍現代化；海權；積極防禦；近海防禦；局部戰爭；太平洋島鏈；兵力展示，有生戰力；聯合國海洋法公約；戰區飛彈防禦系統；遏制點阻滯；海洋經濟；指管通情系統；亞太經合會；東協區域論壇；東南亞國家協會。
