Abstract:
The diploma thesis is devoted to the problem of the modern world of differences among two of the most important standards in the world of financial accounting and reporting: IFRS and US GAAP. The main focus was on comparing and searching for the possible differences on the financial reports of US Steel, which has its basement in the USA and it is using US GAAP standards and its subsidiary in Slovakia using IFRS, within the steel sector. The concrete financial statements were analysed by the tools of financial analysis. Hypothetical scenarios were made on the basis of the results, which could have occurred during the decision making process and which were influenced by the differences among the applied standards. The main goal and important thought of the thesis was to indicate to a reader, in which state the convergence between these two standards is and which differences need to be eliminated to make standards equal in giving the view on the financial statements and financial decision making of each company.

Abstract:
This paper deals with the privatisation of security and analyzes its role in US foreign policy. It is composed of four separate sections, two of which are theoretical and the other two analytical. The first chapter presents available definitions and a historical overview explaining the origin and historical development of private military forces' involvement in armed conflicts. The second part assesses the development of the role of private military companies in US foreign policy. The analytical section aims to answer two key questions: (1) which advantages and disadvantages does PMC utilization present the US government with?; and (2) how can we regulate PMC activities, so that their cooperation with the US government both lives up to the client's expectation and satisfies international human-rights norms? The third chapter therefore assesses the main argument for a and against PMC utilization from the perspective of the USA and the fourth analyzes existing regulation frameworks - national, international and self-regulation.

Abstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to find and categorize differences in the language used inonline reviews by early adopters. By filling this gap in knowledge, marketers can betterunderstand the nature of an online review, be it derived from professional or amateurearly adopters. These categorizations aim to pinpoint differences between professionalsand amateur reviewers who are considered to be early adopters of technology. Publiclyavailable third-party data was analysed using a descriptive text analysis tool, LIWC(Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count). The results regarding the professionals are highly conclusive seeing the uniformity of thepopulation. They compose long format, highly analytic, unpartisan reviews which canbe perceived as inauthentic due to the formality of the text and lack of personal opinions.With these traits, professional online reviews are subjected to the risk of alienating theiraudience, thus losing their influence over the potential adopters. The amateurs were not as uniform as the professionals. However, there are cleartendencies of shorter formats, personal experience-based writing which comes off as moreauthentic compared to the professionals. Within the population of amateurs, one canclearly distinguish that satisfied amateur reviewers’ write shorter reviews but morefrequently, compared to dissatisfied amateur reviewers who write longer format, but notas frequently. Due to the clear and statistically supported differences between the two populations, theyare easily distinguishable from each other. This also shows in their motives to post onlinereviews. Where professionals are financially incentivised, amateurs find their motivationin intrinsic motivators such as altruistic, egotistic, and other self-fulfilling motivators. These distinct differences enable marketers to allocate their efforts towards eitherprofessionals or amateur reviewers in order to achieve the desired market effect. To reacha customer on an emotional level, they should promote amateur reviews. But in order todisplay unadulterated facts and figures, they should promote professional reviews.

My diploma thesis focuses on evolution of bilateral diplomatic relationship between the People's Republic of China and the United States of America. Both historical development and differences in political and cultural sphere are outlined for complex understanding of sino-us relations. The goal of my diploma thesis is to point out how the historical and cultural differences formed the development of bilateral sino-us relationship, how the development itself affected both states and the rest of the world and to refer to the possible future development. My thesis stresses the time period after the disintegration of the Soviet Bloc because in this period many questions and problems arose in mutual relations which are important even today. How did the mutual relations change after the Soviet threat disappeared? Which issues did become pivotal and how did both sides approach them? What can be expected from the future development of the relations? How have the U.S. reacted to the rise of China? Is there a possible conflict coming? With the progressive movement of the centre of international relations to the Pacific area there are many similar questions emerging. My thesis is divided into 6 chapters which are chronologically ordered. The main focus is on the relations after Tiananmen incident, the role of Taiwan, North Korea and rising China in mutual relations, and last but not least on economic and political questions.

Abstract:
This thesis focuses on analysis of the shifting role of the state in the context of globalization processes and aims to explain acting of the state in a bilateral cooperation, as an actor who faces these challenges. This framework is afterwards examined on the transatlantic economic cooperation. Main argument is, that in the bilateral cooperation, such shifts can be observed, that are intertwined with greater interactions of components of the states. These transgovernmental networks can be considered inevitable in response to the rising significance of non-tariff barriers and in trade liberalization. In case of the EU-US partnership, the cooperation on this level is focused on harmonizing of regulatory measures what is crucial for further integration of the transatlantic economic relations.

Abstract:
Židininiai kepenų pakitimai (ŽKP) – vieni dažnesnių patologinių radinių tiriant pacientus dėl įvairių virškinimo ar kitų organizmo sistemų ligų. Įvairių spindulinės diagnostikos metodų dėka nustačius patologinius židinius kepenyse ypač svarbi jų klinikinė diferencinės diagnostikos reikšmė. ŽKP diferencinės diagnostikos esmė yra kiek įmanoma tikslesnis židinio kepenyse kraujotakos nustatymas ir aprašymas. Šios problemos sprendime naujų galimybių įgyja santykinai nauja ir Lietuvoje niekur kitur dar neatliekama UG tyrimo su i/v kontrastavimu metodika, kurios metu gaunami rezultatai lyginami su dominuojančių įprastų KT ir MRT kontrastinių tyrimų rezultatais.

The purpose of this thesis is to demonstrate that the "social organization" of Germans, both descendants and nationals, in the Village and City of S?o Leopoldo, was marked by countless tensions, claims, misunderstandings and conflicts both inside the group and outside of it. The starting point of the research is 1846, the year of the passage from Capela Curada [a chapel with a resident priest] to Village, and the resulting structuration of its own political, administrative and juridical apparatus. The time span of the research ends in 1871, when the law number 2.033, the Criminal Lawsuit Code, was approved, that is, before the Township became a County, in 1875, the end of the Paraguay War (1864-1870) and the Mucker conflict (1873-1874). By analyzing the lawsuits present to the Grand Jury, we realized that the questions that motivated the use of violence were not directly related to political party aspects, but instead they were based on disputes and misunderstandings related to economic and sociocultural issues. Thus, the violence led to justice practice used by several individuals in order to settle down disagreements, mostly during the historical agents' leisure time at the grocery store, during a public ball or even during a horse race, but also in disputes for land and in recurring problems deriving from properties' measurements and invasions.<br>A presente pesquisa tem por objetivo analisar o perfil social dos atores envolvidos nas querelas, os motivos que levaram a abertura de um processo criminal, as estrat?gias utilizadas para resolver as diverg?ncias e as experi?ncias cotidianas ou o comportamento social daqueles indiv?duos que tiveram de dar explica??es ?

O marco inicial da pesquisa ? 1846, ano da eleva??o da Capela Curada ? condi??o de Vila, e da consequente estrutura??o de um aparelho pol?tico, administrativo e jur?dico pr?prio; e finaliza em 1871, quando foi aprovado, sob a Lei n. 2.033, o C?digo de Processo Criminal, ou seja, antes da eleva??o do Munic?pio ? condi??o de Comarca, em 1875, do final da Guerra do Paraguai (1864-1870) e do conflito Mucker (1873-1874). O per?odo estudado caracteriza-se por momentos de intensas transforma??es econ?micas, pol?ticas e sociais, de conflitos, de reinvindica??es em S?o Leopoldo, e de constantes guerras envolvendo a Prov?ncia do Rio Grande do Sul e o Imp?rio brasileiro. Atrav?s da an?lise dos processos criminais julgados no Tribunal do J?ri, constatamos que as quest?es que motivaram o uso da viol?ncia n?o estavam diretamente relacionadas a aspectos pol?tico-partid?rios, mas, sim, a disputas e desentendimentos relacionados a quest?es econ?micas e socioculturais. Assim, a viol?ncia foi ? pr?tica de justi?a utilizada por v?rios indiv?duos com intuito de resolver as desaven?as, principalmente, no momento de lazer dos agentes hist?ricos, na venda, durante um baile p?blico ou ainda durante uma corrida de cavalo, mas tamb?m nas disputas por terras, nos problemas decorrentes de medi??es e invas?es de propriedades.

Abstract:
Since the US National Security Agency’s former contractor Edward Snowden exposed the Agency’s mass surveillance, the EU has been making a series of attempts toward a more safeguarded and stricter path concerning its data privacy protection. On 8 April 2014, the Court of Justice of the European Union (the CJEU) invalidated the EU Data Retention Directive 2006/24/EC on the basis of incompatibility with the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union (the Charter). After this judgment, the CJEU examined the legality of the Safe Harbour Agreement, which had been the main legal basis for transfers of personal data from the EU to the US under Decision 2000/520/EC. Subsequently, on 6 October 2015, in the case of Schrems v Data Protection Commissioner, the CJEU declared the Safe Harbour Decision invalid. The ground for the Court’s judgment was the fact that the Decision enabled interference, by US public authorities, with the fundamental rights to privacy and personal data protection under Article 7 and 8 of the Charter, when processing the personal data of EU citizens. According to the judgment, this interference has been beyond what is strictly necessary and proportionate to the protection of national security and the persons concerned were not offered any administrative or judicial means of redress enabling the data relating to them to be accessed, rectified or erased. The Court’s analysis of the Safe Harbour was borne out of the EU Commission’s own previous assessments. Consequently, since the transfers of personal data between the EU and the US can no longer be carried out through the Safe Harbour, the EU legislature is left with the task to create a safer option, which will guarantee that the fundamental rights to privacy and protection of personal data of the EU citizens will be respected. However, although the EU is the party dictating the terms for these transatlantic transfers of personal data, the current provisions of the US law are able to provide for derogations from every possible renewed agreement unless they become compatible with the EU data privacy law. Moreover, as much business is at stake and prominent US companies are involved in this battle, the pressure toward the US is not only coming from the EU, but some American companies are also taking the fight for EU citizens’ right to privacy and protection of their personal data.

Abstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to analyse the relationship between the EU and the USA with an emphasis on the period after the year 2000. The analysis was only possible with knowledge of preceding milestones that have formed the partnership, the thesis- therefore- begins with the period after the Second World War, to which the European Union can trace its roots. The thesis follows the changes in the relationship during the decades of the Cold War (long-term trends) and in the first decade after its end (short-term trends), and then, due to the broadness of the issue, concrete themes from the period after the year 2000. The thesis also examines the relationship in terms of partnership and conflict, and examines the reasons and events behind the motivation on both sides. The first chapter deals with the Europe-USA relationship development since 1945 and is divided into five parts according to post-war decades. The second chapter deals with the Europe (EU)-USA relationship development after the Cold War up to the beginning of the new millennium. The third chapter represents the centerpiece of the thesis- key issues in the transformation of the relationship. The chapter is divided into four subchapters: divergent and shared opinions on the fight against terrorism (Afghanistan, Iraq), divergent and shared opinions in relation to international organisations and treaties (the Kyoto Protocol, the International Criminal Court), divergent and shared opinions on solving the financial crisis. The fourth subchapter examines the transformation and continuity of the relationship after the accession of the Obama administration.

Abstract:
This paper aims to evaluate merits of the Austrian business cycle theory in explaining the 2001-2009 business cycle in the US economy. The theory postulates that a monetary shock upsets equilibrium in the market for loanable funds and adversely influences coordination mechanisms of the economy. The structure of relative prices is distorted and resources are misallocated as a result. The economy follows an unsustainable investment trajectory inconsistent with the amount of available resources and with the consumer preferences. When the inconsistencies are revealed, some of the investments are liquidated and costly correction follows. After providing exposition of the theory and description of the US economy in 2001-2009, the theory is confronted with the data. Although some deviations are conceded, mainly in development of the labor market, analysis presented in the paper supports the Austrian business cycle theory as a solid theoretical tool for explanation of the economic development throughout the examined period. The theory exhibits its main strengths in accounting for development of relative prices and linking them to conditions in the market for loanable funds.

Abstract:
Wars involving either Russia or the United States have been a mainstay of the 20th and 21st centuries, since the end of World War II, in their search of hegemonic dominance over the international world order. This search for supremacy has generated numerous questions regarding whether Russia or the United States should be viewed as Empires. When the question of Empire arises it tends to focus on how the indigenous populations that reside in these war zones may be affected. However, the question of how indigenous forces are used as a way to examine if states accept or deny imperial responsibility/empire is not a widespread topic. Therefore, this thesis is intended to answer that question. In the process it examines three case studies per country. First, looking at Russia's case studies: Afghanistan, Chechnya, and Crimea. Second, examining the United States' case studies: Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan. The research conducted for this thesis has provided a number of key findings regarding both countries. It has demonstrated, on the one hand, that Russia has created a framework for imperialization, which can be tailor fitted to the socio-cultural landscape of any state they desire to add to their imperial body. Consequently, this state should instead be viewed as the Neo-Russian Empire; a state that...

The second term of the presidency of Barack Obama was an active phase of interactions among Russia, the United States, and China. At that time, many issues came up to be able to shake the international situation (e.g., the rise of ISIS, the South China Sea issue, the THAAD, TPP, Ukrainian crisis). The author selected four issues (trade, counterterrorism, the South China Sea issue, the THAAD) to analyze how the states were interacting among themselves (Russia-US, US-China, China-Russia) and how it influenced the international order. Two basic international theories will be applied - realism and liberalism (offensive realism, neo-liberal institutionalism, economic interdependency, and theory of triangle) to understand the interactions and discuss them.

Abstract:
This thesis focuses on the role of the advisors in the US foreign policy, especially in the decision-making process, which constitutes a part of presidential system in the United States of America. The methodology of the conceptual part is based on individual typologies of presidential control of the US administrations. The thesis also describes evolution of this discipline, which in the USA is studied in the field of Foreign Policy Analysis. The conceptual scheme of the presidential control is based on the models by Johnson, George and Mitchell. The theoretical approach to the roles of advisors is patterned on the models of Mulcahy, Crabb and Hönig. The thesis combines these theoretical bases to describe and explain the evolution of presidential control typologies. Some problematic particularities of the Mitchell typology are also reviewed in this part. The next part based on the theoretical models analyses empirical reality. The analytical part constitutes of two case studies, which describe the role of the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs in the key deliberations of the presidential administrations of William J.

Abstract:
The MA thesis "The Special Relationship: A discourse on British-American relations in the British press" focuses on a discourse analysis of the "special relationship" in 2001-2010. The thesis is based on a sample of 25 commentaries published in leading British newspapers over this period and describes the characteristic features that appeared in the discourse on the United Kingdom's most important bilateral partnership. The identified elements pertain to national identity, national interest, historical narratives, diplomatic rituals, assessment of the Prime Minister's personal role and the perception of the UK's junior status within the relationship. The thesis uses a Foreign Policy Analysis model that takes into account the role of the media in the formation of foreign policy. Methodologically, selected discourse analysis methods are used, particularly thematic analysis and analysis of metaphors. The characteristic features of the dominant discourse are identified through excerpts from relevant secondary literature on the history of the "special relationship" after WWII and subsequently compared with the results of the newspaper sample analysis. The thesis pays special attention to the repertoires of arguments used by the commentators and places them in the context of an intensive public debate on the UK's...

This thesis rests on two major theoretical realms, Critical terrorism studies and the interconnection between popular culture and the world of politics. This thesis addresses three American mainstream films produced after 9/11, Zero Dark Thirty, Lone Survivor and American Sniper in order to analyse the discourse and narratives which refer to the antagonists in these movies (more specifically, the discourse and narratives which portrays justification for the American behaviour within the War on Terror) and to address the political consequences of this kind of discourse. This thesis defines four major repetitive patterns in the discourse: humanization of the "American side", dehumanization of the antagonists, depiction of torture and violence and lack of context and concludes...
