Jiří Pichl-journalist and politician (1872-1952)

This thesis represents the first complete biography of Jiří Pichl, a journalist and politician who was born in 1872 in Česká Třebová. Pichl started writing for a regional newspaper after finishing high school, in the times of progressive movement that was calling for a change in the status of Czech lands within the Austrian-Hungarian Empire, and expansion of voting rights. In the beginning of the 20th century he became the reporter in charge with a Czech National Social Party newspaper in Prague. He was also working with several papers published by the Melantrich publishing house. His journalism career peeked when he became a chair of the Czechoslovak Journalists Syndicate where he achieved pension insurance for journalists. During the First Republic, Pichl also started his political career. He became the first mayor of Královské (Royal) Vinohrady after the political overturn. Later he also became a senator of the National Assembly. As a politician he was also looking after the interests of journalists. He was very vocal in calling for a new press law. For many years, he was also a chair of the Central Workers' School. He lost all of his functions during the World War II as he never collaborated with the Nazi regime. The media at the time were celebrating Jiří Pichl. He was portrayed as friendly,..

Our Lady, Trinity and Saints' Columns in Hradec Králové and Rychnov Regions

My diploma thesis deals with a question of when and where it is possible to seek for origins of columns, questions like why were Our Lady, Trinity and Saints' columns built in Europe and what was the cause of plaque epidemic and its results in Europe are answered. The main part of my diploma thesis focuses on places where these sculptures are situated. The zone is defined by the formal Hradec Králové division and by the town Rychnov nad Kněžnou. The author of this diploma thesis compares his knowledge with works of other authors. In the supplement, the columns are depicted including the map of their placement in Hradec Králové District and in Rychnov nad Kněžnou

Dreams in the context of biosynthesis

The thesis addresses the research of working with dreams in the context of biosynthesis. The aim of the theoretical part is to find a common way for working with both dreams and the body with emphasis on working with dreams in terms of the biosynthesis itself. The aim of the empirical part of the thesis is mapping the specifics of working with dreams in the context of body oriented approaches with emphasis on the context of biosynthesis. The respondents of the research were the participants on the biosynthesis training. Their answers within the semi-structured interview were summarized and subjected to critical analysis

Al Jazeera versus Al Arabiya

Diploma thesis "al Jazeera versus al Arabiya - Media Rivalry of Qatar and Saudi Ruling Families during the 2006 Lebanon War" deals with domestic Arab satellite channels - Qatar al Jazeera and Saudi al Arabiya - and their way of reporting about the war in Lebanon in 2006. Their news coverage is put into context of rivalry between Qatar and Saudi ruling families. The thesis focuses on wide range of issues including the role of media in foreign policy of Qatar and Saudi Arabia, use of media for securing stability of the ruling regimes and for pursuing their regional influence. Main theoretical concept of the thesis is the Arab media model which enables projection of interests of the ruling families in Qatar and Saudi Arabia into their media

Phylogenetic analysis showed a single maize ortholog of the early shade-inducible Arabidopsis atypical basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) genes PAR1 and PAR2. The evolutionary tree was inferred with amino acid sequences using the Neighbor-Joining method implemented in MEGA6. Bootstrap values (with 100 replicates) were shown next to the branches. The tree was rooted on a close homolog in P. patens. (PDF 97 kb
