This master's thesis entitled "The Crime of Murder under Section 140 of the Czech Criminal Code, Criminal-law and Criminological Acpects" provides a comprehensive analysis of the most relevant criminal-law and criminological aspects of the crime mentioned above. As the aim of this thesis is to compose a comprehensive text, this thesis also refers to related legal institutes. It is composed of seven chapters and other subchapters and parts, which are connected and arranged in a logical order. There are also considerations de lege ferenda throughout the entire text. The opening part of this thesis deals with the historical development of the legal codification of murder from the Middle Ages until the contemporary Criminal Code which came into effect in 2010. This Criminal Code introduced some significant changes to the area of intentional killings and murders, especially. This thesis also characterises human life and precisely defines the beginning and end thereof. Such moments are pivotal for the purpose of this thesis as these moments are important for determination whether the murder may have been commited or not. A summary of international and internal legal codification which protect human life is also included. The main part of this thesis analyzes systematically the valid legal regulation of...

L'objectif de la thèse est l'étude des propriétés géométriques des ensembles définissables dans les structures o-minimales et de ses applications. Il existe trois principaux résultats présentés dans cette thèse. Le premier est une preuve géométrique de l'existence de stratifications vérifiant les conditions (a) et (b) de Whitney d'ensembles définissables. Ce résultat fut d'abord prouvé par T. L. Loi en 1994 par une autre méthode. Le second est une preuve de l'existence de stratifications de Lipschitz (dans le sens de Mostowski) pour les ensembles définissables dans une structure o-minimale polynomialement bornée. Ceci est une généralisation de résultats de Parusin'ski en 1994 pour les ensembles sous-analytiques. Le troisième résultat est au sujet de la continuité des variations de géométrie intégrale appelées courbures de Lipschitz Killing locales, qui ont été introduites par A. Bernig et L. Broker en 2002. Nous prouvons que les courbures de Lipschitz Killing locales sont continues le long de strates de stratifications de Whitney d'ensembles définissable dans une structure o-minimale polynomialement bornée, et si les stratifications sont (w) régulières alors les courbures de Lipschitz Killing locales sont localement lipschitziennes le long des strates. / The thesis focus on study geometric properties of definable sets in o-minimal structures and its applications. There are three main results presented in this thesis. The first is a geometric proof of the existence of Whitney (a) and (b)-regular stratifications of definable sets. The result was initially proved by T. L. Loi in 1994 by using another method. The second is a proof of existence of Lipschitz stratifications (in the sense of Mostowski) of definable sets in a polynomially bounded o-minimal structure. This is a generalization of Parusinski's 1994 result for subanalytic sets. The third result is about the continuity of of variations of integral geometry called local Lipschitz Killing curvatures which were introduced by A. Bernig and L. Broker in 2002. We prove that Lipschitz Killing curvatures are continuous along strata of Whiney stratifications of definable sets in a polynomially bounded o-minimal structure. Moreover, if the stratifications are (w)-regular the Lipspchitz Killing curvatures are locally Lipschitz.

History has shown that assassination could be wielded as an effective weapon in the pursuit of interest, security and power. As the feudal age neared its end in Europe, nation states emerged. Despite its pragmatic usefulness, assassination was considered unfit for this new form of governance. States no longer sought to destroy one another as predicted by Thomas Hobbes, but adhered to John Locke's proposed values, which believed that states could mutually exist as rivals. In this system which favored negotiation and settlements, it was difficult for assassination to have a place. Yet at the start of the 21st century, assassination once again saw employment. As of today, it is preferably referred to as targeted killing by its employers and has become somewhat of a 'new normal.' Clearly, there must be certain permissive catalysts that allowed this to happen. This master's thesis firstly explores the ways the United States, Israel and Russia conduct their assassination/targeted killing operations to present the unique ways these states eliminate their enemies, and secondly pinpoints the permissive causes that allowed these three super and great powers of assassination to transform the international norm against assassination and turn a dishonest, immoral practice into something more acceptable and fit...

‘Care’ is a term that hunters increasingly apply to diverse practices pertaining to their interactions with wildlife. In this article, we investigated the extent and durability of hunters’ use of care language, including appeals made to sentiment, relation, compassion, embodiedness and situated morality. After establishing the use of such language in contemporary hunting media, we discuss two case studies of contemporary sport hunting that tease out dimensions of care. These case studies show how hunters’ appeal to care is deeply problematic and oppositely, how these hunting forms bring out new relations and scopes of care with wildlife unanticipated by critics. Without discounting hunters’ sincerity, we note that hunters may use this language opportunistically rather than with consistent philosophical appeal. We conclude by discussing the possible role of hunters’ appeal to care language in mediating public acceptance of hunting.

Since Schwarzschild found the first solution of the Einstein’s equations, more than 800 solutions were found. Solutions of Einstein’s equations are classified according to their Lie algebras of isometries and their isotropy subalgebras. Solutions were taken from the USU electronic library of solutions of Einstein’s field equations and the classification used Maple code developed at USU. This classification adds to the data contained in the library of solutions and provides additional tools for addressing the equivalence problem for solutions to the Einstein field equations. In this thesis, homogeneous spacetimes, hypersurface-homogeneous spacetimes, Robinson-Trautman solutions, and some famous black hole solutions have been classified.

No / There is a large literature on the economics of crime and punishment, yet surprisingly little attention is paid to the receipt of money for crime. “Contract killing” is surprisingly neglected not only by economists but also by social scientists in general. In this paper, I look at the case not of professional gangster “hitmen” but of individuals who have found themselves in a position where they wish to have a killing carried out. This discussion does not condone the practice any more than an economic analysis of suicide is an inducement to individuals to kill themselves. To the lay reader, the cases where an individual feels the need to pay for killing may seem to be such that rationality is not a likely form of behaviour. However, the economics of crime has adopted the use of the rationality postulate as a heuristic for all types of crime.
