The dissertation describes the state of private tutoring, its extent and intensity of use during the second stage of basic school, in particular in the last two years. The study is a part of more extensive research into the phenomenon of private tutoring in the Czech Republic, and its results supplement information on the use of private tutoring in primary schools. This dissertation provides an analysis of the use of private tutoring during the second stage of basic schools in the Central Bohemian and Ústí nad Labem regions. The aim is 1) to characterize a student's using private tutoring, in particular individual lessons or group courses (family background, school success, study ambitions, views on private tutoring, etc.), 2) to describe selected types of private tutoring (use rate, subjects, providers, etc.). This consists of quantitative research using a questionnaire survey of 9th grade students from randomly selected primary schools in the Central Bohemian and Ústí nad Labem regions (n = 1 016). The students are at the point between lower and upper secondary education, and they are focusing on the transfer to a upper secondary school, and many of them have to take an entrance exam. These two regions were selected because of their socio-economic differences. The results of the survey confirm...

The Principles of Private Law In my thesis I occupied myself mainly with representative principles that master private law and that should lead to the implementation of the idea of justice as an ultimate goal of a legal set of rules in general. Despite of Sisyphean character of this task and impossibility of reaching it, there is nothing that can discourage from trying it again and again. I would like to admit that this attempt was at least ambitious and meaningful. Inability of perfect recognition "an sich" turns attention into extralegal sources of information, such as ethics, political sciences, sociology, economy and the head of all sciences - philosophy. This thesis also reflects intuitive approach to the principles of private law as a result of dependency on my personal preferences and cited sources and their authors (which also reflects my own disposition). The main issue was a function of the principles of private law in the normative set of rules. These principles make an important place in the normative set of rules as they form its limits. We can hardly imagine its "commission" without such principles of private law. They protect the integrity and the compactness, because Czech private law is nowadays extremely heterogeneous complex of rules. According to the restriction mentioned in the...

The aim of this thesis is to describe the visual phenomenon of home movies and their relation to the authorial subject. The subject of home movies is introduced in the first chapters and it deals with technology and its impact on amateur film work as well as the use of technical terms and academic reflection of home movies. The aspect of the authorial subject is viewed through the works of several personalities, who represent both typical and marginal attitudes to home movies production. One of these personalities is Ludvík Šváb whose private and experimental films proved to be a source of friction, which enabled me to track down and define the genre of home movies and realize that it does not have to be viewed solely within the amateur discourse. The method of creative recycling and reinterpretation of home movies by a filmmaker Martin Ježek offers almost a transcendental perspective. The paper also presents an analysis of the means of expression in the home movies and their use within given model authorial subjects.

1. Summary The Influence of a Change of Circumstances on the Existence of an Obligation The purpose of my thesis is to present a brief outline of the problems concerning the impact of the change of circumstances on the existence of an obligation. The leading principle looking into this issue is the rebus sic stantibus principle. This principle can be considered as the opposite of the contemporary major contract rule worshipped by most of the European states and thus legal systems, the pacta sunt servanda principle. This principle, meaning the necessity of putting emphasis on the performance, is at present the fundamental principle of contract law of the Czech republic too. However, day-to-day life creates situations, in which the strict compliance with this principle can be in conradiction with justice and the contractor's expectations of the fairness of the law. The rebus sic stantibus principle is presently applied usually only to rare specific cases, the question, whether it should be allowed to terminate the contract under a essential change of the circumstances to all contracts in general, is an object of long-term discussions among many legal experts and legislators. This thesis is composed of five chapters, each of them dealing with different aspects of the essentialy changed circumstances (also...

Cyberspace today represents an essential part of society. Its existence has launched a new phenomenon - "virtual reality" - in which similar interactions as in the real world occur. Since the effects of these virtual interactions affect all areas of human existence, as well as relationships in the real world, they must be subject to legal regulation. To be part of cyberspace, especially its most important part - the Internet, means the option to enter into legal relationships with entities regardless of their territorial restrictions. Therefore, these issues must be subject to special attention. In legal science, solutions of such cases fall under specific areas such as in matters relating to civil law into private international law. This dissertation thesis focuses primarily on exploring institutes of private international law within the virtual environment, particularly issues of jurisdiction and law applicable to torts that arise in cyberspace. The goal of this work is to answer the question of whether current standards of private international law are applicable in cyberspace - and what problems may arise in their practical applications. Emphasis is given to the standards applicable in the Czech Republic.
