1 As more media continues to become available, there is an ever-growing need to consider how certain technologies and media messages affect users and society overall. The aim of this dissertation is to develop an understanding of media literacy in the Czech Republic and to investigate its significance within education, particularly teacher education. The research methods adopted for this study include an in-depth review of relevant media literacy literature, coupled with interviews from Czech Pedagogical Faculty members, and analyses of Czech national policy and university curricular documents. The findings from this work show that the main benefit of media literacy in primary and secondary schools is a non-hierarchical learning environment that encourages discussion, interaction, and critical thinking amongst students. Additionally, current media education policy in the Czech Republic is found to be ineffective. The main conclusion is that with more required media literacy courses or even a national standard for media literacy in teacher education programmes, the Czech Republic could improve teaching methods and present policy.

The study deals with Czech-German economic relations during 1991 - 2016, viewed from the perspective of the theory of asymmetrical dyads. The Czech-German relationship can be perceived as asymmetrical on the basis of inequality between the political-economic possibilities of Czech Republic (CR) - the weaker and Germany - the stronger. Despite this, there are many common aspects such as foreign policy orientation and the nature of the economy. CR and Germany are in many respects compatible with each other and economically complementary. They have similar culture, are geographically close and there are many transactions between them. At the same time, they are connected by a common past and by overcoming conflicts issues. Despite many qualities of Czech-German relationship, the Czech side has traditionally addressed securing its security, freedom and prosperity. After the fall of the "Iron Curtain", Germany engaged in the political-economic transformation of Czechoslovakia/Czech Republic, which turned into a democratic system with market- oriented economy. The development of Czech-German economic relations for the CR meant chance for economic growth, access to technology and, within the framework of business cooperation, to global markets, in addition to the identical institutional context of NATO...

The thesis is devoted to the description of the projection of 14th century phonetic and phonological changes in progress onto the graphics of the Dresden Bible, one of the first copies of the oldest complete Old Czech translation of the Bible. For the research we chose three old Czech phonetic and phonological changes: diphthongization ó > uo (and an irregular change o > uo) and two Old Czech umlauts 'u > i (and 'ú > í) and 'o > ě (and 'ó > ie). The basis for the excerption were transliterated texts in the edition Staročeská Bible drážďanská a olomoucká. In our work we focus on the research of phonetic and phonological changes on the basis of the exact number of original and incoming forms in order to give a more accurate description of these changes and to verify the possible existence of statistically significant differences. For this purpose, the words excerpted were manually tagged and sorted out (using the COUNTIF and COUNTIFS statistical functions) in the Microsoft Excel 2007. Their statistical processing was carried out with the help of a statistical online calculator.

[ES] La presente tesis estudia la escuela checa en el campo de la animación stop motion, de acuerdo a su contexto político, social y cultural, con el objetivo principal de analizar su lenguaje, orígenes y características, así como la influencia que ejerce en creadores extranjeros. Debido a su prolífica creación, posible en parte, gracias al apoyo estatal, los checos desarrollaron un trabajo de autor con gran carga artística, portador directo de su historia y tradiciones populares, funcionando en conjunto como un rasgo característico que define la cultura checa. Esta investigación es el resultado del estudio de una variante de animación en relación a su contexto, trabajado desde una metodología, tanto cualitativa como cuantitativa, acudiendo en ciertas ocasiones a fuentes directas. Para ello dividimos este trabajo en tres partes: la primera de ellas para establecer los orígenes de la animación stop motion en general, la segunda donde nos adentramos específicamente en establecer las características de la escuela checa de Stop Motion y una tercera donde relacionamos el trabajo de creadores extranjeros con la influencia que les supuso conocer el trabajo de los cineastas checos. A través de nuestros resultados, podemos definir una escuela checa específica para la creación en el campo de la animación stop motion. / [CAT] La present tesi estudia l'escola txeca en el camp de l'animació stop motion, d'acord amb el seu context polític, social i cultural amb l'objectiu principal d'analitzar el seu llenguatge, orígens i característiques, així com la influència que exerceix en creadors estrangers. A causa de la seua prolífica creació, possible en part, gràcies al suport estatal, els txecs van desenvolupar un treball d'autor amb gran càrrega artística, portador directe de la seua història i tradicions populars, funcionant en conjunt com un tret característic que defineix la cultura txeca. Aquesta investigació és el resultat de l'estudi d'una variant d'animació en relació al seu context, treballat des d'una metodologia, tant qualitativa com quantitativa, acudint en unes certes ocasions a fonts directes. Per a això dividim aquest treball en tres parts: la primera d'elles per a establir els orígens de l'animació stop motion en general, la segona on ens endinsem específicament a establir les característiques de l'escola txeca de Stop Motion i una tercera on relacionem el treball de creadors estrangers amb la influència que els va suposar conéixer el treball dels cineastes txecs. A través dels nostres resultats, podem definir una escola txeca específica per a la creació en el camp de l'animació stop motion. / [EN] This thesis studies the Czech School according to its political, social and cultural context in the field of stop-motion animation, setting a proper analysis of its language, origin and characteristics as the main objective, and also to understand their influence on foreign creators. With a prolific creation, partly possible due to state support, the Czechs developed a highly artistically charged authorial work, a direct bearer of their history and folk traditions, functioning as a whole as a defining feature of Czech culture. This research is the result of the study of a variant of animation in relation to its context, on the basis of a qualitative and quantitative methodology, sometimes resorting to direct sources. For this purpose, it will be divided into three sections, starting with the establishment of the origins of stop motion animation in general, followed by an approach to the characteristics of the Czech Stop Motion School, and ending with a presentation of the work of foreign creators influenced by Czech filmmakers. Through our results, we found that we can define a specific Czech School for creation in the field of stop motion animation. / Cabrera Balbuena, IE. (2022).
