Tesis sobre el tema "Konativ"

Syftet med den här studien är att undersöka vilka faktorer som styr olika generationers attityd till elbilen i staden Las Vegas i USA och hur dessa attityder kan forma ett potentiellt köpbeteende. Generationerna som undersöktes var Gen X, Y och Z. Mätningen av attityd i studien inspirerades från Tricomponent Attitude Model, som mäter konsumenternas kognitiva, affektiva och konativa attityd. Studien använde sig av en enkätundersökning med påståenden för att fånga attityder hos konsumenter i staden, vilket gjorde att uppsatsen antog sig en kvalitativ forskningsmetod. Enkäten fick in 64 svar som sedan analyserades utifrån attitydkomponenterna i relation till faktorer, som gav undersökningen numerära verktyg att använda vid mätning av potentiellt köpbeteende. Resultatet visade att Gen X hade ett negativt potentiellt köpbeteende, medan Gen Y och Z hade ett positivt potentiellt köpbeteende. Analysen utgick från att hitta ledtrådar i generationernas grundattityder till de presenterade faktorerna och som därmed kunde förklara köpbeteendet.

Titel: Kundlojalitet inom e-handeln Nivå: C-uppsats i ämnet företagsekonomi Författare: Filip Forslund & Mattias Wikström Handledare: Jens Eklinder Frick Datum: Januari 2016 Syfte: Syftet med studien är att belysa hur företag inom e-handeln arbetar med de attitydmässiga dimensionerna kognitiv, affektiv och konativ kundlojalitet. Metod: I studien användes en kvalitativ metod vilket ansågs lämpligt för att få en djupare förståelse kring syftet med arbetet. I studien genomfördes elva semistrukturerade intervjuer med personer som arbetar i ledande positioner med marknadsfrågor på e-handelsföretag för att förstå hur deras företag arbetar med kundlojalitet utifrån vår teoretiska referensram. Vi har haft en hermeneutisk utgångspunkt i arbetet för att förstå och tolka det insamlade materialet. I analysen använde vi våra teoretiska teman och analyserade dessa för att försöka hitta empiriska teman genom en kvalitativ dataanalys. Resultat & slutsats: Denna studie visar hur företag inom e-handeln arbetar med kognitiv, affektiv och konativ kundlojalitet. Utifrån de teoretiska teman vi tagit fram har vi fått en uppfattning om vilka faktorer som anses väsentliga i företagens dagliga arbete för att skapa kundlojalitet. Detta resulterade i ett flertal empiriska teman som visar vilka dessa faktorer är och hur de används. Förslag till vidare forskning: Eftersom detta är en studie utifrån ett företagsperspektiv kan vidare forskning vara att kontakta kunder till e-handelsföretag och undersöka de empiriska teman, som tagits fram i denna studie, i ett kundperspektiv och ta reda på om dessa teman är relevanta faktorer även ur det perspektivet. Detta är något som skulle kunna ge ehandelsföretagen mer input i deras arbete med att skapa lojala kunder. Uppsatsens bidrag: Studiens teoretiska bidrag är att den ger en ny förståelse för kognitiv, affektiv och konativ kundlojalitet utifrån tidigare forskning med fokus på e-handelsföretagens arbete med kundlojalitet. Det praktiska bidraget är de olika teman vi fann i både teorin och empirin som företagen kan ha användning av i sitt arbete med att skapa lojalitet hos sina kunder. Nyckelord: Kundlojalitet, kognitiv lojalitet, affektiv lojalitet, konativ lojalitet, e-handel
Title: Customer loyalty in e-commerce Level: Final assignment for Bachelor Degree in Business Administration Authors: Filip Forslund & Mattias Wikström Supervisor: Jens Eklinder Frick Date: January 2016 Aim: The purpose of this study is to enlighten how companies in e-commerce works with the attitudinal dimensions cognitive, affective and conative customer loyalty. Method: The study used a qualitative approach, which was considered appropriate to get a deeper understanding about the purpose of the thesis. Eleven semi-structured interviews were conducted with people working in executive positions with market issues in e-commerce companies to understand how their business works with customer loyalty based on our theoretical framework. We have had a hermeneutical approach in efforts to understand and make a deeper interpretation from the collected data. In the analysis, we used our theoretical themes and analyzed them to try to find empirical themes through a qualitative data analysis. Result & Conclusions: This study shows how companies in e-commerce works with cognitive, affective and conative customer loyalty. We have received an idea of the factors that are considered essential in the business daily work to create customer loyalty, based on the theoretical themes we have developed. This resulted in a number of empirical themes that shows which these factors are and how they are used. Suggestions for future research: Since this is a study from a business perspective, further research could be to contact customers to e-commerce companies and examine the empirical themes in a customer perspective and find out if these themes are relevant factors even from that perspective. This is something that would give companies in e-commerce more input in their efforts to create loyal customers. Contribution of the thesis: The theoretical contribution is that it provides a new understanding of cognitive, affective and conative customer loyalty based on previous research with a focus on e-commerce companies' work with customer loyalty. The practical contribution is the different themes we found in both theoretical and empirical data that companies could use in their work to create loyalty among their customers. Key words: Customer loyalty, Cognitive loyalty, Affective loyalty, Conative loyalty, Ecommerce

Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att skapa en förståelse för hur ett företags kommunikation på Facebook påverkar mottagarens kognitiva, affektiva och konativa lojalitet till företaget. Metod: En kvalitativ metod var lämplig för att få en djupare förståelse vid besvarandet av studiens syfte. För att kunna studera företagens kommunikation på Facebook genomfördes en netnografisk analys av två klädföretags Facebooksidor. Därefter genomfördes semi-strukturerade intervjuer med personer som följde de två företagen på Facebook för att få en förståelse hur deras lojalitet påverkas av Facebooksidorna. Det empiriska materialet har analyserats mot teorin genom en tematisk analys. Resultat & slutsats: Denna studie visar att det är viktigt för företag att arbeta med alla typer av lojalitet mot följarna på Facebook. För att åstadkomma kundlojalitet på Facebook visar resultatet att företag bör eftersträva att publicera inlägg med erbjudanden samt inspirerande bilder till följarna. Resultatet visade även att följarna hos Lindex inte upplevde lika hög lojalitet till Facebooksidan som följarna hos Nelly.com. Förslag till fortsatt forskning: Då vårt resultat visat tre nya empiriska teman skulle vidare forskning kunna undersöka dessa på en djupare nivå för att se om dessa empiriska teman är unik för vår studie eller kan tillämpas hos flera företags Facebooksidor. Vidare forskning skulle därmed kunna vara att undersöka de empiriska teman vi funnit som är viktiga för lojalitet på sociala nätverk för att se om dessa kan tillämpas på företag inom andra branscher. Uppsatsens bidrag: Denna studie sammankopplar tidigare forskning om kundlojalitet samt nyare forskning om kundlojalitet på sociala nätverk. Studiens teoretiska bidrag ger en ökad förståelse för vad som är av vikt vid kommunikation på ett företags Facebooksida och hur detta påverkar mottagarnas lojalitet till företaget.
Aim: The purpose of this study is to create an understanding of how a company's communication on Facebook affects the recipient's cognitive, affective and conative loyalty towards the company. Method: A qualitative method was suitable to get a deeper understanding of responding to the study's purpose. In order to study the companies’ communication on Facebook, there was a netnographic analysis of two clothing companies Facebook pages. This was followed by semi- structured interviews with people who followed the two companies on Facebook to get an understanding of how their loyalty is affected by the Facebook pages. The empirical data is analyzed against theory through a thematic analysis. Result & Conclusions: This study shows that it is important for companies to work with all kinds of loyalty to the followers on Facebook. To achieve customer loyalty on Facebook the result shows that companies should strive to publish posts with special offers and inspirational pictures to the followers. The results also showed that the followers of Lindex not experienced equally high loyalty to the Facebook page as the followers of Nelly.com. Suggestions for future research: As our results showed three new empirical themes, further research would be to examine these on a deeper level to see if these empirical themes are unique to our study or can be applied at several corporate Facebook pages. Further research would therefore be to examine the empirical themes we found that are important for the loyalty of the social networks to see if these could be applied to companies in other industries. Contribution of the thesis: This study connects previous research of customer loyalty as well as recent research of customer loyalty on social networks. The study's theoretical contributions provide a better understanding of what is important in the communication on a corporate Facebook page, and how this affects the recipients’ loyalty to the company.

Film-induced tourism, or film tourism, is in a simplified sense the phenomenon that occurs when a person visits a place selected by inspiration from a film/TV series. A prerequisite for film tourism is that within a film/TV series, features appear that inspires the viewer to visit either recording locations or other places associated with the film/TV series. In the study of film tourism, destination image plays a central role, which can be explained as an individual's collection of expectations, ideas, feelings, and impressions that have been built up over time for a destination. This study aims to help fill a knowledge gap that includes studies of how films or TV series with negative/controversial content affect the viewer's perceptions and mental images of a destination image. More specifically, the study will focus on the TV series Peaky Blinders and Birmingham, England. Through the theory section, a theoretical framework is established in which, among other things, it is being described how previous research have focused on film tourism, destination image, motivation, and commitment. Furthermore, a conceptual model is created that clarifies the basis of our study and which also forms the cornerstone of the research design. The study includes a quantitative approach where three hypotheses are put and then tested against the data collection, which is gathered through a digital survey where the sample consists of Peaky Blinders fans. The results show the cognitive, affective, and conative image of Birmingham found by spectators of Peaky Blinders and explains how the commitment to the TV series affects these aspects. Conclusions are drawn by accepting the hypotheses, which is that the commitment to Peaky Blinders affects the cognitive, affective, and conative image of Birmingham.
Film-inducerad turism, eller filmturism, är i förenklad mening det fenomen som uppstår när en människa besöker en plats som valts ut genom inspiration från en film/TV-serie. En förutsättning för filmturism är att det inom en film/TV-serie framkommer särdrag som uppmanar åskådaren till att besöka antingen inspelningsplatser eller andra platser som förknippas med filmen/TV-serien. Inom studiet av filmturism spelar destinationsimage en central roll, vilket kan förklaras som en individs samling av förväntningar, idéer, känslor och intryck som har byggts upp med tiden för en destination. Denna studie ämnar bidra till att fylla en kunskapslucka vilken innefattar undersökningar av hur filmer eller TV-serier med en negativ/kontroversiell handling påverkar åskådarnas uppfattningar och mentala bilder av en destinations image. Mer specifikt kommer studien att fokusera på TV-serien Peaky Blinders och Birmingham, England. Genom teoriavsnittet etableras ett teoretiskt ramverk där det bland annat redogörs för hur tidigare forskning fokuserat på filmturism, destinationsimage, motivation samt engagemang. Vidare skapas en konceptuell modell som tydliggör grunden för vår studie och som även utgör grundstenen i utformandet av forskningsdesignen. Studien innefattar ett kvantitativt angreppssätt där tre hypoteser ställs för att sedan testas mot datainsamlingen, som sker genom en digital enkätundersökning där urvalet består av fans till Peaky Blinders. Resultaten visar den kognitiva, affektiva och konativa image av Birmingham som finns hos åskådare av Peaky Blinders samt redogör även för hur engagemanget för TV-serien påverkar dessa aspekter. Slutsatser dras genom ett accepterande av de ställda hypoteserna, vilket innebär att engagemanget för Peaky Blinders påverkar den kognitiva, affektiva samt konativa imagen av Birmingham.

An archive file of Android source code projects available for import into Android Studio. These projects were utilized in the research for the following thesis: MOBILE KONAMI CODES: ANALYSIS OF ANDROID MALWARE SERVICES UTILIZING SENSOR AND RESOURCE-BASED STATE CHANGES.

The Konami Code is a tool for teaching stage dialects that I have been developing for the past three years. I wanted a method that didn’t rely on students’ having a keen ear for phonetics; rather one that offered context for each dialect, and presented individual sound-changes as small parts of an easy way to digest the whole. Most importantly, I wanted a process that was portable: a set series of applications that my students could incorporate easily into their actor’s tool-kit and carry with them into the professional world. The Konami Code incorporates kinesthetic and imaginative elements into the study of dialects. This thesis discusses the genesis of the Code, the theory behind it, and my applications of the Code, to date, as both a teacher and a coach. It is a work in progress, and one which I hope you will expand upon even as I continue to do so!

Debt crisis is seen as a spiral which has been launched by failure of American financial market and which final stage is global economic depression. But we can not speak only about financial market crisis. Current world crisis is at the same time political crisis and social crisis; it is a multi-sector crisis. Actors which try to manage the crisis, their abilities, possibilities to act and their strategies in each sector will be identified and described in the thesis. Complexity of current crisis demands global solutions involving cooperation of different actors throughout all three mentioned sectors.

Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur klädesaffärer kan skapa en mer positiv syn på second hand kläder bland konsumenter. Undersökningen utfördes genom att använda Tricomponent Attitude modellen och erkända strategier för attitydförändring. Tricomponent Attitude modellen utgörs av den kognitiva, affektiva samt konativa delen medan attitydstrategierna utgörs av tillvägagångssätt för att förändra attityden. En kvantitativ enkätundersökning utfördes och sändes ut till respondenterna med hjälp utav sociala nätverk och forum. Totalt samlades 343 svar in. Det visade sig att konsumentens inställning till second hand kläder mestadels utgjordes av den kognitiva delen av Tricomponent Attitude modellen, men att det samtidigt existerade ett klart samspel mellan modellens tre delar. Dock fick alla strategier till attitydförändring svaga resultat och skulle på så vis inte påverka konsumenterna att köpa mer second hand kläder. Den huvudsakliga upptäckten var att klädesaffärerna inte har en tillräckligt stark position för att påverka konsumenternas inställning till second hand kläder men att konsumentens positiva uppfattning om second hand kläder visar att förutsättningarna för en ökad konsumtion finns.

In the first part of this final thesis the theory of tourism events and their impact on the host destination is discussed, with particular focus on major sport events. Impacts are divided into two categories: economic and non-economic (socio-cultural, environmental, marketing impact and impact on infrastructure). These break into sub-categories and are described in detail. The second part of the thesis uses the theoretical knowledge outlined in part one to analyse the impact of a specific major sporting event -- the 2011 IIHF World Ice Hockey Championship that took place in Bratislava and Kosice in Slovakia. Emphasis is placed on analysing the effects the event had on the tourism sector in Slovakia. Having analysed both economic and non-economic impacts of the event, the thesis concludes that the overall impact of the event on the Slovak tourism sector was positive and the Slovak Republic can use this momentum in favour of further development of Slovak tourism sector.

Society’s pervasive use of mobile technologies has provided an incentive for the amount and kinds of mobile malware to steadily increase since 2004. Challenges in static analysis of mobile malware have stimulated the need for emulated, dynamic analysis techniques. Unfortunately, emulating mobile devices is nontrivial because of the different types of hardware features onboard (e.g., sensors) and the manner in which users interact with their devices as compared to traditional computing platforms. To test this, our research focuses on the enumeration and comparison of static attributes and event values from sensors and dynamic resources on Android runtime environments, both from physical devices and online analysis services. Utilizing our results from enumeration, we develop two different Android applications that are successful in detecting and evading the emulated environments utilized by those mobile analysis services during execution. When ran on physical devices, the same applications successfully perform a pseudo-malware action and send device identifying information to our server for logging.

Konata (こなた) denotes “hither,” the near vicinity of the narrator. The term is used to refer to the speaker himself or herself, or the listener. It can also refer to the people or objects which are close to the speaker either physically or emotionally, or the time period from a certain point in the past until the present. The title is also inferred from the Buddhist expression “this shore”, meaning the secular world where worries permeate. Konata, limited yet close, is also a time and space where happiness and sufferings take place. The multifaceted connotations inflicted onto this term point out the essence of this research: the ever-changing and disappearing nature of the secular world (as opposed to the unreachable eternity); the pain of separation or the deterioration of relationships (as opposed to the complete joyfulness stored in the memory); as well as the poeic beauty demonstrated by the human figures and the surrounding atmosphere that are involved. From here, the author attempts to connect the allusions and origins derived from various fields such as literature, film, manga and music. With the interpretation of or reference to the two-dimensional language of art, she intends to evoke similar imageries and overlapped emotions. This corpus collects the creative works of the author, dated from 2015 to 2018, as an extension of her Bijin-ga collection. The chapter of “Prologue” states the author’s research purpose, while “Orientation”, which is divided into “Origin” and “Truthing”, describes her creative motivation and research objective. In “Incarnation”, the author records her sentiments while painting her human figures and objects. The use of art materials, as well as the application of techniques, are summarised in “Necromancy”. “Vision” integrated some of the creative works mentioned in the three former chapters, and “Epilogue” concludes. Keywords: this shore, Ukiyo-e, Bijin-ga

The present theoretical-empirical diploma thesis in the field of interpreting studies analyses the transfer of conative function in bidirectional simultaneous interpreting between Czech and English. The theoretical part of the thesis presents an overview of the present knowledge in relation to the conative or persuasive function of language and its transfer in interpreting. The methodological framework and initial hypothesis underlying the empirical part of the thesis are then defined. The research material used for the quantitative-qualitative research consists of a corpus of recordings of original and interpreted speeches from the European Parliament. The aim of the present thesis is to explore to what degree the conative function, being the dominant language function in political discourse, is preserved in the interpreted versions of the speeches, on the basis of which debates in this multilingual institution take place. The empirical research follows from a contrastive analysis of the transfer of individual categories of the means of the conative function in simultaneous interpreting for the given language pair. Results of the research are interpreted in terms of the characteristics of the original speech, type of interpreting and directionality.

The primary focus of this thesis is the New York fiction by the prolific American writer Edith Wharton. The particular works discussed in this thesis are The House of Mirth, The Custom of the Country, and The Age of Innocence, completed by the collection of four novellas, Old New York, and also a selection of Wharton's short stories set in the city of New York. The main argument of the thesis could be encapsulated to say that Wharton's fiction lacks the individuality of the characters, and the main focus of the texts is on society and how society affects the archetypes of the characters created solely for the purposes of this thesis. It is divided into three intersecting chapters, the first topical chapter concentrating on New York as such and how the Gilded Age influenced the Big Apple. Moreover, Wharton and her own relationship with the city is discussed in this chapter as well, pointing at the fact that she was intimately familiar with the custom and the manners of the upper society of New York, which she later implemented in her fiction. Also, the description of naturalism and determinism are provided as those seem to be the genres most utilized by the author. The next chapter revolves around the notion of archetypes as Claude Lévi-Strauss introduced in his "The Structural Study of Myth," which...

The subject of this thesis is the analysis of English translation equivalents of the French pronoun on. This 'personal indefinite pronoun' is the typical means of expressing the general human agent in the French language. Unlike French, English does not have any special device for this purpose. It must employ linguistic devices which have other primary functions than the expression of the general human agent. These devices are explicit or implicit; they were described, for example, by Dušková (Dušková 1999) and Kratochvílová (Kratochvílová 2007). A short study of English translation equivalents of generic on was part of Tláskal's paper (Tláskal 2004). However, the pronoun on is not always generic; its reference can also be indefinite or definite. Since this thesis studies the English counterparts of all three types of on, translation devices were also collected of uses other than generic. This study analyses 200 sentences including the French on and their translation counterparts. The material was excerpted from 4 French novels and their translations into English. The 200 examples are divided into 4 groups according to the type of reference their on has: generic, indefinite, definite, or ambiguous. For each group, the English counterparts are studied. They are divided into 3 classes:...

Regular Appeal in civil proceedings As it is the case in ordinary life also in judicial decision making, errors cannot always be omitted. A judicial decision can suffer from various defects that may have different characteristics or the judicial decision may not necessary suffer from such defects, but the litigants may consider it as defective due to them being unsatisfied with the unfavorable outcome. For this reason, the civil procedural code contains institutes that enable the modification, revocation or affirmation of a judicial decision. These institutes constitute the appellate procedure are subdivided into regular and extraordinary, depending on whether the litigants are appealing a decision that has already became valid or not. The aim of this diploma thesis is to focus on the current legal regulation of the appellate procedure with a strong emphasis on regular appeal in dispute proceedings. I chose this topic as the focus of my diploma thesis because it is the only regular remedy contained in the czech civil procedural code and therefore the most commonly used in judicial practice and also the one, I am most familiar with from my own professional experience. The fundamentals of the appellate proceedings are contained in the Act no. 99/1963 coll., civil procedural code, which regulates the...

The thesis deals with the terms of transfer of the ownership right to land. It is comprised of three main chapters. The first chapter defines the various basic terms relevant to this thesis with emphasis on the specific attributes of the soil. The second chapter is devoted to the first phase of the two-phase process of transfer of the ownership right to land, i.e. the acquisition title. The third chapter describes the second phase of the above mentioned process which is the registration of the ownership right into the Cadastre of Immovables.

The thesis deals with an acting on behalf of legal entity. Its aim is not to produce a comprehensive elaboration on the subject matter but to focus on judicial decisions of the higher courts with an effort to fill in gaps in legislation and to clarify dubious parts of the legal text. Chapter One is introductory and defines basic institutes used in the thesis such as management of the company, acting on behalf of legal entity and decision-making. Chapter Two examines an acting on behalf of the corporation by its corporate agent, a set manner of acting, its limitation and consequences of a concurrence of the agents. The chapter briefly mentions an acting in the name of a company before its incorporation and some aspects of powers of a proctor. Chapter Three concentrates on a representation of a legal entity with focus on a substantive representation. In its beginning, there is a brief characterization of a statutory representation and a representation under the power of attorney. Subsequently, the chapter describes individual types of representation by - a chief executive of the structural unit of the legal entity (s. 13/3 of the Commercial Code), a person authorized to certain conduct (s. 15), other person currently present in business premises (s. 16). Finally, it deals with a representation under the power...

Proceedings before the European Court of Human Rights and their reform The purpose of this thesis is to analyse and evaluate the proceedings before the European Court of Human Rights. This Court that exists within the Council of Europe is the guardian of guaranteed human rights and fundamental freedoms defined in the European Convention on Human Rights. Under this Convention an individual is entitled to submit an application to the Court and seek for the protection of his rights that were violated by one of the Member states. One of the conditions that ensure this protection is an effective and adequate proceedings before the Court. At present, the Court has to face many problems that are able to put this human rights protection in danger. Therefore the Member states decided to initiate a reform of the Court and its proceedings. The basic goal of this reform process is to ensure the long-term efficiency of the proceedings. This thesis analyzes the outcomes of this reform and how it affects the current proceedings. Key words: the European Court of Human Rights, proceedings, reform, workload, caseload

This analysis shall cover both, Slovak and Czech code of judicial procedure which have the same numerical designation as Act No. 99/1963 Coll. and are known as Code of civil procedure (hereinafter referred to as OSP) in Slovakia and Code of civil procedure (hereinafter referred to as OSŘ) in the Czech Republic as well. The research in this thesis is structurally divided into 5 independent chapters. Using bellow stated research methods and science procedures; each part focuses on different context of preliminary questions. The first two chapters focus the historical context, concept, importance and scope of the preliminary questions under legislation of Czech and Slovak Republic. This chapter also outlines the normative legal regulations of these issues in the "de lege lata" status. At the same time, the author pays more attention to the eligibility of preliminary questions to be considered as preliminary ones,...

The subject of this thesis is a comprehensive analysis of the specifics of the crime of failure to provide aid in the healthcare, committed especially by doctors. The thesis itself is systematically divided into six chapters. The first chapter deals generally with crime of failure to provide aid. This part deals with legislation in the past and today, in detail there are also analyzed two of Acta Reus of this crime with particular emphasis on the theory of action, causality acts and omissions and some theoretical difficulties associated with this concept. Furthermore, the chapter discusses the developmental stages, the possible concurrence with other crimes, the circumstances excluding illegality, extinction of criminal liability, criminal sanctions and their demise and the interpretation of certain terms. In the second chapter, I analyze in detail the problems of general and special duties to act, their sources and issues. I do not focus only on Czech regulation, I concentrate on theory as well. The third chapter discusses the specifics of criminal responsibility in healthcare with an emphasis on interpretation of the term lex artis medicinae, and also depicts the requirement that criminal liability should stand as a means of last instance, particularly in the area of healthcare, together with a...

The topic of this submitted diploma thesis is an analysis of the commissioning and evaluation of the public procurement in the Czech Republic. I pay attention to the most frequent mistakes at spending public funds through the public procurement. The first chapter is devoted to the theoretical description of the Czech public procurement system. The next chapters include the overview of the evaluation system and evaluation criteria in the public procurement. The forth and the fifth chapters are focused on the general and individual mistakes during the commissioning and the application procedure.

The question of free will, determinants of free action and responsibility is one of the most thrilling questions of the mankind. Moreover, the free will problem is closely connected to regulation and hindsight judgement of man behaviour so the law is concerned with the problem as well. However, a legal concept of free will is missing in the Czech law or legal theory. The author is therefore concerned with the fact that there is no satisfactory legal definition of free will even though legal responsibility is impliedly based on free action and free will. The Czech law defines just the freedom of action in negative terms, i.e. as an action of will free from circumstances limiting or precluding legal responsibility. The aim of the thesis is to summarize knowledge of social psychology regarding free will and assess whether the Czech law does impose the right standard of freedom of will in comparison to scientific experiments and findings. Furthermore, there are philosophical theories of free will introduced in the thesis and consequently these theories are questioned and examined for the purpose of defining legal concept of free will. At the end of the psychological part of the thesis one comes to the conclusion that the social determinants such as peer pressure, conformity and obedience to authority...

REŠOVSKÁ Radka: Participants of the civil proceedings. [Graduation theses] / Radka Rešovská - Charles University in Prague. Faculty of Law, Department of Civil Law. - Head of the Graduation theses: doc. JUDr. Alena Macková, Ph.D, Prague: PrF UK, 2011. The graduation theses deal with contemporary legal regulations of the civil proceeding participants. A big attention was dedicated to particular definitions of the participants within contentious and non-contentious proceedings.

Attention is concentrated on joinder of participants which are being...

The subject of this thesis is the analysis and comparison of explicit and implicit means of reference to the general human agent in English and in Czech. In these languages we may find both explicit and implicit means which are used to refer to the general human agent and which are identical to a certain degree. However, especially among the implicit means we may observe rather different structures in both languages. This thesis analyses two sets of data - the excerpts from two English novels with their Czech translations and two Czech novels with their English translations. The total number of examples excerpted is 200, each example being considered with its translation to the other language. The source language of this study is English for which a set of particular explicit and implicit means which we focus on in this analysis was defined. For this reason, also in the case of the Czech originals the examples were excerpted from the English translations and their Czech original versions were found. The samples obtained from both the sets of data were further compared and the analysed means were divided into three groups - instances where the means in English and in Czech were identical, instances where the means were nonidentical and instances where the reference to the general human agent was...

1 Omissive offences Abstract This diploma thesis addresses the issue of omissive offences in the Czech criminal law with regard to the legislation of Germany. Given the little attention paid to this topic in the Czech Republic, the aim of this thesis is to provide the reader with a comprehensive view of the omission in Czech criminal law in the context of contemporary legal literature, case law, and relevant legislation, including critical review of the most controversial aspects of the current regulation. In the beginning, the thesis focuses on the characteristics of the offence and its individual features with an emphasis on the objective aspects of the offence, which is essential for determination of the form of action. This is followed by a detailed historical excursion into the antecedent legislation of omissions in our country, from the time of Austria- Hungary, to the unsuccessful efforts to reform the criminal law during the First Republic, followed by methodically elaborated criminal codes from the period of totalitarianism to the fine government draft of the Criminal Code from the turn of the millennium. The core of this thesis is the third chapter dealing with the valid regulation of omission and categorization of omissive offences to the authentic (genuine) and the inauthentic, while...
