The theses deals with the most current problem of refugees stemming from the Syrian crisis, and the consequences the migration crisis can have for stability and the overall political situation in the chosen region. Due to the fact that the Syrian crisis is felt not only in the region, the aim of this thesis is to look at the impact of subsequent migrant crisis on the EU with focus on the Czech Republic. Despite various attempts by the international community, including the EU and the Czech Republic itself, to stabilise the situation the migration crisis is not, within a short and midterm time frame, closing to an end, and it is necessary to focus on possible negative consequences it may bring. The aim of this thesis is to uncover possible political repercussions. Even though, the Czech Republic is in reality afflicted by the migration wave on a minimal scale, the main hypothesis of this thesis is that the current migration wave has an influence on its political scene. The thesis is focusing especially on extremism in the Czech public and consequently in the political scene.

Background: The state of exclusivity must be investigated and proven in each particular case. In order to establish the conclusion about the influence of the driver, it is necessary to draw up an expert opinion from the field of health care, the branch of psychiatry (Explanatory Report to Act No. 233/2013 Coll.). Research to date has shown that addictive substances in transport are a serious social and security problem. For recidivent drivers who have committed a criminal offense under the influence of an addictive substance (or a misdemeanor, or have a personal interest in a rehabilitation program), there is a possibility of a rehabilitation course. Goals: The main aim of this work is to bring knowledge about the decision-making practice of the courts in the case of a criminal offense under the influence of addictive substance. Another aim of this work is to map out the problem of the threat of drug addiction and follow-up measures set by the court in imposing sentences and their relation to the recommendation of rehabilitation programs or some of the forms of treatment of problem / addictive use of addictive substances. Methods: The data were obtained by analyzing 50 judgments and four interviews with judges from the Prague 2 District Court, which were held in April 2017. Selection of the...

This thesis investigates early translation activities of Czech versatile theatre artist Jan Nepomuk Štěpánek. Štěpánek began to translate theatre plays in 1803. The first part of the thesis looks at the personality of Jan Nepomuk Štěpánek in general, theatre context of his translated plays and a translation method in the time of the Czech National Revival. The most important part of the thesis consists of the introduction of five earliest plays, which Štěpánek translated in 1803-1806. His texts are compared with German original texts. On the basis of this comparation, Štěpánek is introduced as a translator and also then theatre practice is partly clarified.

Voice comparison is one of the most frequently addressed terms in the context of forensic phonetics; however, so far experts have not been able to find a speech parameter which reliably discriminates between two speakers. Formant dynamics have brought promising results in this respect, therefore in our study using linear discriminant analysis (LDA) we tested the speaker-discriminatory potential of formant trajectories on real forensic recordings. The aim was firstly, to compare the results of LDA when formant frequencies or coefficients of quadratic and cubic fit are used as predictors and secondly, to compare the results when the analyzed classes are balanced or not regarding the number of objects. As for the predictors, all of the types demonstrated comparable classification rates, nevertheless, as LDA limits the number of predictors in relation to the class size, the quadratic fit appears to be the most efficient. Even though LDA was able to discriminate between different voices above chance, it cannot be recommended for forensic use. It delivered highly inconsistent results when the number of objects in the classes was changed; and more importantly, it significantly discriminates between objects of the same speaker. Key words: formant trajectories, voice comparison, LDA, Czech, forensic phonetics

The aim of this thesis is to analyse the life and attitudes of members of the German Reich aristocratic family Schaumburg-Lippe, who owned the Náchod estate in the Czech lands between 1842-1945, and Czech-German coexistence in the first half of 20th century. The first chapter is focused on the 19th century and the person of prince Wilhelm. Its goal is to highlight prince's attitudes and actions, which played an important role in forming the Czech-German "symbiosis". The second chapter deals with the topic of Náchod estate and its owner prince Friedrich in the interwar period. The "symbiosis" is examined through the prism of the Land reform as the most important aspect of the 1920's and the beginning of 1930's. The main area of the interest of this thesis, which deals with the family's lives and Czech- German coexistence during Second World War, is addressed from the third chapter on. This part is focused on the question whether Schaumburgs used the occupation of Czechoslovakia by Nazi Germany and establishment the Protectorate for their benefit, whether they changed their behaviour towards the Czech people, how they experienced and described the events of the war and what was their relationship to the Nazi regime and the representatives of the occupation's administration. The last part of the...

This thesis deals with the essential aspects of the local referendum as a widely used complement of representative democracy and with the particular forms it appears in the Czech and Slovenian legal orders. The main objectives of this thesis are following: describing Czech and Slovenian legal regulations concerning the local referendum in detail, exploring certain areas of its practical use and finally concluding whether there is any significant difference in the way these two countries, that share similar experience historically and of the recent years too, approach direct democracy and the institute of the local referendum in particular. The body of the thesis is made up of nine chapters. In the first chapter Introduction I clarify what led me to focus on the respective issues. The second chapter Idea of Direct Democracy tackles the origins and the essence of direct democracy, its potential to be used in the modern world and also briefly describes those institutes of direct democracy that are used in the Czech and Slovenian practice. The third chapter Referendum in general classifies individual types of referendums. In the fourth chapter Local referendum in the Czech Republic, we can find an exhaustive description of the Czech legal regulation of the local referendum, analysis of the data...

The diploma thesis analyzes the transformation process of tertiary sector in Czechoslovakia; respectively in Czech Republic between 1989-1997/98 by analyzing the condition of this sector before 1989. The limitation is given by collapse of centrally planned economy and the economic crisis in 1997.

The demand for tropical fruit in the Czech Republic is rising, it´s a trend in the modern way of life. People in the Czech Republic, and all over the world, demand healthier ways of food consumption. We did research concerning a supply in the supermarkets and consumers. I found out, that a demand for tropical fruit was not very well covered and that people were demanding more variety of tropical fruit and were ready to up pay double prices for it. I compared data about consumption of tropical fruits in Germany, Austria and the Czech Republic. The comparison is drawn from net import of tropical fruit and net import it´s divided per capita. We proved that people in the Czech Republic were consuming fewer kilograms per capita per year than people in Germany and Austria. Annual consumption of tropical fruit in the Czech Republic grew by 7 % during the last five years, while in Germany it amounted to 0,3% and in Austria to 4,5%.
