The English Country House and the English Country House Disturbed: comparing different aesthetic treatments of space in Jane Austen´s Pride and Prejudice and Ian McEwan´s Atonement
Strašková, Jana; Roebuck, Olga; Vít, Ladislav
2014 - English
This diploma thesis addresses different aesthetic treatments of space, especially the English country house in both Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen and in Ian McEwan´s Atonement. The theory considered to be essential for this thesis is combined with excerpts taken from primary sources which serve as the cornerstone for literary analysis. Fundamental books for the theory are mainly of foreign origin such as Gaston Bachelard´s The Poetics of Space, Mark Girouard´s Life in the English Country House and Stuart Lowe´s Housing Policy Analysis. However, the thesis also considers the literary insights of Czech authors, for example Daniela Hodrova. This diploma thesis will provide readers with an extensive resumé in the Czech language. Finally, the author´s findings will be summarised in a relevant conclusion.

Aims in Teaching and Testing Writing in ELT
Jahodová, Pavla; Černá, Monika; Reimannová, Irena
2013 - English
This master thesis deals with aims in teaching and testing writing in ELT. It primarily examines the current shape of treating writing as a language skill at elementary schools in the Czech Republic where there has been recently implemented a new curricular policy. The thesis turns attention to the requirement of aligning aims of teaching and testing writing with one another as well as with those formulated in curricular documents, which encourages beneficial backwash and achieving aims stated by the sector. For this purpose, Blooms' revised taxonomy for learning, teaching and assessing is introduced and consequently used in the practical part of the thesis which investigates the level of correspondence among aims stated in the projected curriculum and those of teaching-learning and testing tasks in the seventh grade of elementary school.

Problém přírodních zdrojů: analýza případových studií z ekonomik Alžírska a Norska
Rouag, Abdelwalid; Stejskal, Jan; Hájek, Petr
2013 - English
Tato diplomová práce se zabývá ekonomickým jevem známým jako "prokletí přírodních zdrojů", který popisuje problémy některých ekonomik založených výhradně na vývozu svých primárních komodit - například ropy. Tato práce analyzuje hospodářské a politické reformy, resp. požadavky na řešení problematiky založené na prokletí přírodních zdrojů.
Podstata práce spočívá v analýze teoretického pozadí jevu "prokletí přírodních zdrojů" a norských zkušeností, zejména na řízení svých přírodních zdrojů. Teoretická východiska a norské zkušenosti mohou odhalit nedostatky alžírské politiky v řízení svých ropných příjmů s cílem realizovat hypotetické reformy, které by Alžírská vláda měla brát v úvahu.
