The diploma thesis Integration of Foreigners in the Czech Republic deals with the social integration of immigrants into Czech society with respect to structural, cultural, interactive and identifying dimensions. These are the crucial factors influencing their stay in the Czech Rebublic. The empirical part concerns perception of Czech reality through the eyes of selected foreigners from different countries living in the Czech Republic. Their findings are collected by qualitative research. During the interview, they provided detailed information about their stay in the Czech Republic and thus revealed issues which they deal with in the host country. It came out that a significant aspect of integration is not only the similarity of cultures but also foreigners' subjective feeling of integration.

The objective of the thesis is to enhance the role of poetry within the literacy education at grammar schools, which has been on the edge of teacher's and student's interest since a while. Following the existing binding rules of education the thesis is made to build up a positive attitude to poetry in students and targets to improve their knowledge and personal approach to this part of literature. While being focused on that its content struggles to extend their theoretical skills of literary interpretation as well as practical ones. Last but not least the thesis would like to avoid the stereotypes teachers keep about poetry and its application at school.

The topics of this thesis are Spanish, Czech and Slovak phrasemes that contain words to do with the human body or its parts. The theoretical part of this work delimitates the concepts of phraseme, idiom etc. It describes the different attitudes to this topic in the Spanish and Czech linguistic tradition. The theoretical background serves as a base for the practical section which is dedicated to a dictionary and analysis of Czech and Spanish idioms. The practical section studies the dictionary from different points of view. It is focused on the frequency of use of the idioms in Spanish and Czech, the possibilities of translation and etymology of certain expressions.

This diploma thesis deals with the relationship of the central bank with commercial banks. A central bank perform important functions, and thus it has its own set of competencies needed to achieve its objectives. To those functions belong, above all, participation in creation of binding legal acts and supervision over banking institutions. The Czech National Bank is the central bank of the Czech Republic, and its activities and status are governed, especially, by Act. No. 6/1993 Coll., on the Czech National Bank, as amended. This diploma thesis is divided into three sections. The first section is devoted to the theoretical framework of central banking. The second section is focused on the Czech National Bank and its powers and functions. The last section deals with the development of banking regulation on the international level. The main goal of this diploma thesis is to identify individual interactions between the Czech National Bank and commercial banks.

(in English) Our master's thesis deals with formal adaptation of Anglicisms and Germanisms in Czech and Serbian language. The focus of the thesis lies mainly on substantives and their orthographic and morphological adaptation. Moreover, it concentrates on the differences and specificities in both languages and the various ways of writing search terms. For this purpose, Czech and Serbian language corpora were used to serve both the search itself and the approximate indicator of the use of different variants of the writing of individual expressions.

Most of the European countries are now facing the common challenge from aging population. This affects the labour market and consecutively the economic engine. As a matter of course the Czech Republic has to welcome workers from outside sources to supplement its labour shortage. I've found that the majority of the migrant workers going to the Czech Republic are low skill ones and they concentrate in the lower tier of the labour market. The efforts of the Government to attract high skill workers have not been much successful in bringing more qualified foreigners to the country. The Vietnamese is the third largest migrant community in the Czech Republic with 60.301 registered people. For those who came here in the 70s and 80s, they have been legally and pretty successfully residing in the society. But for the new workers who were sent to work in Czech factories since 2006, the global crisis turned their lives into hardship. They lost jobs but they couldn't or didn't want to go home. They must hold on in this land with a hope to change their lives.

The paper addresses the impact of smoking in the Czech Republic in 2009. The aim is to describe the current facts and trends of tobacco consumption, assess the mortality attributable to smoking, compute its financial impact on the Czech state budget, evaluate the transmission of tax changes into the retail price of cigarettes, assess consumer price elasticity for cigarettes, and compute a fair excise tax on cigarettes for the Czech Republic as well as the tax which would maximise the benefits of smoking for the state budget. For our purposes, we define fairness as a situation in which there is no net redistribution of state budget funds between two groups of citizens: non-smokers and smokers. Smokers create benefits (for example, savings on pensions due to their earlier deaths) and costs (for instance, increased health care costs) for the state budget. We search for a tax rate that would balance smoking-associated costs and benefits. Furthermore, we also compute the tax which would maximise net revenues from smoking to the government. We realised these findings for the Czech Republic, 2009: we observed that there were 22,013 deaths attributable to smoking. About 2.281 billion cigarettes were sold illegally. The costs to the state budget caused by smoking were estimated to 30,547 million CZK,...

This thesis deals with fifteen seasons of Dejvice Theatre within the years 1992-2007 with special focus on two ensembles for which the Dejvice Theatre became the home scene. The first ensemble was formed by ALD DAMU students under the direction of Jan Borna. After its leave the ensemble has been replaced by yet another ALD DAMU students' ensemble this time under the direction of both pedagogue and director Miroslav Krobot. The goal of the thesis is to point out the transformations of production poetics within the fifteen years in which the two mentioned ensembles have acted in Dejvice Theatre.

The thesis is focuses on "Theatre Fair" opened air cultural project which took place in the second half of nineteen eighties in Prague, where different art groups connected and integrated their performances. The goal is to introduce Theatre Fair and, concentrating specifically on theatre, examine how Theatre Fair participated in the new era of "non-concrete theatre" in The Czech Republic. There is a focus on the birth and structure of Theatre Fair, which is based on factual information. The text centres attention on each individual art group and its performances. It will bee seen that these performances are characterized by, and based on, historical theatrical inspiration. The thesis also addresses non-theatre areas such as music, visual arts and photography, which influenced the final shape of the project. It also reflects the activities that Theatre Fair engaged in on foreign tours. A considerable part of the thesis focuses on the characteristics of Theatre Fair and its theoretical basis. The project "Theatre Island", which followed the original Theatre Fair, is also considered in this thesis. In considerations of the distinctive visual art style of the project, a picture appendix is included in the thesis.

This thesis examines Canada’s imposition of a visa requirement on visitors from the Czech Republic. By analyzing articles in three major Canadian newspapers, I conduct an Althusserian (theory that “culture ventures” are part of the Ideological State Apparatus), analysis. The thesis demonstrates that a dominant ideological viewpoint – a pro-capitalist ideology supported by a racist ideology – was evident in the coverage in all three newspapers. Additionally, this thesis addresses the presence of more ‘even-handed’ discussions of the conditions of the Roma, including experiences of racism and discrimination in the Czech Republic. I conclude that the newspapers present ideological views, with occasional exceptions.
