Magister Philosophiae - MPhil (Religion and Theology) / South African debates on food security address a wide range of issues related to the production, the distribution and the consumption of food in the context of deep concerns over the impact of poverty, unemployment and inequality. One aspect of such debates is on the need for nutritious food amidst hunger, malnutrition, obesity and the prevalence of diabetes. This study will investigate the Islamic theological injunctions and guidelines that govern the production, the different facets of distribution and the consumption of food in Muslim communities. There are numerous theological injunctions from the Quran and prophetic traditions (?ad?th) guiding the Muslim community in relation to food security. These include injunctions around the need to provide nutritious food. The study will assess the programmes of five Muslim faith-based organisations in the Cape Town Metropolitan Area, working in the field of food security and more specifically, feeding schemes. The food programmes of these organisations will be described, analysed and assessed in order to establish whether, and to what extent, the Islamic injunctions on nutrition are implemented, given various constraints. This will require attention to the policies, the strategies and the practices associated with such feeding schemes.

Entre le début des années cinquante et la fin des années soixante, nombre de réalisations symptomatiques des nouveaux cinémas latino-américains se trouvent influencées par le néoréalisme italien. Le cinéma cubain est généralement associé à ce phénomène, et les relations privilégiées entretenues avec le scénariste italien Cesare Zavattini participent pour beaucoup à confirmer cet état de fait. Pourtant, après 1959, de multiples contradictions viennent remettre en question cette filiation néoréaliste supposée et maintes fois réaffirmée. L’étude menée cherche ainsi à reconsidérer l’allégation de départ et à mesurer l’impact de la Révolution cubaine sur cette interrelation cinématographique / From the early fifties to the late sixties, a certain number of films, representing the new paths of latin-american cinema, were influenced by the italian neo-realism. Cuban cinema is usually perceived as a part of this phenomenon and, mainlyamongst other things, the privileged relations with the italian screenwriter Cesare Zavattini tend to confirm this statement. However, after 1959, many contradictions rise up and lead to question this so-called filiation, still many times re-affirmed. It is the aim of the present study to question the former statement and measure the impact of the Cuban Revolution on this cinematographic inter-relation

The subject of my master‘s thesis is A new cultural society center building in Frýdek-Místek. The work is explained in the form of project documentation for the execution of the building containing all the requirements following the legal standards and regulations. The land is flat. It is a two-storey, basement building. The supporting system of the object is a monolithic reinforced concrete skeleton filled with ceramic blocks. Basement masonry is permanent formwork. The roof and ceiling structures are made of reinforced concrete slabs. Roofs above both of the first floors are flat green roofs, the roof above the second floor is also flat formed by river rock. The new building of the cultural society center corresponds to the town plan of the town of Frýdek-Místek. The design was influenced by the layout, static and architectural features, and energy savings.

The aim of the diploma thesis "Media image of culture in the weekly Respekt and Reflex" is to use qualitative and quantitative research to describe the attitude towards culture and its relationship in the social news weekly magazines Respekt and Reflex. The theoretical part of this work is devoted to the description of the influences on the production of cultural journalism. It deals with the interpretative conception of culture, from the anthropological conception, through the conception of the Frankfurt and Birmingham schools to contemporary approaches to the attitude towards culture and the creative industries. All this is set in the context of the study of media and mass media, which is also influencing the cultural production. The results of the analytical part then present the concept of culture based on the description of editorial approaches to cultural topics and the analysis of the contents of the stated weekly magazines. In the end of the work the theoretical knowledge is connected with the results of research. Keywords Cultural journalism, culture in media, culture, media, society, cultural society, Respekt, Refex, weekly magazines.
