Illegal employment

Since 2007 Labour Code contains the definition of dependent work, which can be carried out only in labour-law relations. The Amendment to Labour Code from 2012 makes the definition more precise, when it stipulates essential elements of dependent work and designates the others as conditions, under which dependent work should be carried out. The Amendment to Employment Act changes the definition of illegal work. Illegal work is a performance of dependent work by natural person except for labour-law relation, or if natural person – foreigner carries out work in conflict with issued permission to employment or without this permission. Since 2012 sanctions for illegal work were increased. Labour inspection is entitled to impose sanctions, in case of foreigners it is Customs Office. For control purposes employer is obliged to have copies of documents at the workplace proving the existence of labour-law relation. Goal of controls and high fines is to limit illegal employment of citizens of Czech Republic and foreigners as well. Illegal work has unfavourable economic impact on state budget. It comes to extensive tax evasions and also to evasions within health insurance and social security. If a concluded commercial-law relation meets the attributes of dependent work, then it stands for a concealed legal relationship. Tax Office can subsequently assess an income tax to businessman. Labour-law relationship enjoys a higher legal protection than commercial-law relationship; nonetheless it is not suitable to limit liberty of contract in cases when it is not unambiguously a dependent activity

Karel Ančerl

In my thesis, I focused on the personality of the Czech conductor Karel Ančerl. I elaborated on his story as well as his professional career.His life mirrored historical turns of the 20th century. Imprisoned in concentration camps during the W W II, Karel Ančerl reached the very bottom of human strength. On the other hand, he reached the height of his carrer as conductor when he was the chief conductor of the Czech Philharmonic.This period which belongs to the heyday of the Czech Philharmonic ends abruptly in 1968 when he went in exile. He died there in 1973 . In my thesis I also endeavored to analyse his major artistic deeds

Reconstructing St Mark Passion by J.S.Bach

In the present work, I describe the process of my reconstructing St Mark Passion BWV of Johann Sebastian Bach. I carried out this reconstruction in 2006 - 2007 and presented it at the concert held as part of Czech Philharmonic chamber series on 3rd April 2007 in the Dvořák Hall of the Prague Rudolfinum. The initial chapters of my work deal with the development of the passoin form before Bach and passions composed by Bach´s contemporaries. The next part of the work looks at the context of St Mark Passion among other passion compositions by J.S.Bach. Last but not least, attention is paid to other reconstructions of this work realised by musicologists and musicians in the past

Artificial Intelligence and Classical Music Composition

This thesis deals with artificial intelligence composing classical music and ways of evaluating its performance by listeners. The text provides the first overview of the conducted experiments based on the so-called Turing test and, set up on the analysis of primary sources, it suggests possible improvements in terms of methodology. In the end, we propose an alternative test, which rejects the philosophical implications of the Turing test and, in contrast to the original experiment, also provides room for a music-theoretical analysis of the generated works.Tato práce se zabývá umělou inteligencí skládající klasickou hudbu a způsoby hodnocení jejího výkonu posluchači. Text poskytuje první přehled provedených experimentů vycházejících z tzv. Turingova testu a na základě analýzy dochází k jejich možným vylepšením z hlediska metodologie. V závěru navrhujeme alternativní test, který se odklání od filozofických implikací Turingova testu a oproti původnímu experimentu poskytuje i prostor pro hudebně-teoretickou analýzu generovaných děl.Ústav informačních studií - studia nových médiíInstitute of Information Studies and Librarianship - New Media StudiesFaculty of ArtsFilozofická fakult

Ve své práci jsem se zaměřil na osobnost českého dirigenta Karla Ančerla.Zamýšlím se nad jeho životním osudem i nad jeho profesní kariérou.V jeho osudu se zrcadlí dějinné zvraty dvacátého století.Karel Ančerl, jako málokterý český umělec, dosáhl na samé dno lidských možností v době svého věznění v koncenračních tábarech, ale přitom dosáhl také vrcholu dirigenstké kariéry jako šéf České filharmonie.Tato éra, která patří k vrcholům dějin České filharmonie, náhle končí v roce 1968, kdy Karel Ančerl odchází do exilu. Zde v roce 1973 umírá. V této práci jsem se také pokusil popsat v rámci možností jeho významné umělecké počiny

Home concerts in the 21th century

This bachelor thesis discusses home classical music concerts in the 21st century as a social phenomenon, that is described in this thesis in a broader sense as a economic process and also discribed from a historical and practical perspective. The theoretical part deals with the history of music production and describes the influence of technical reproducibility of the work and the decline of classical music in the 20th century on home concerts. The practical part is focused on a comprehensive evaluation of the project, which launched the initiative Vážný zájem and comparisons of models organizing home concerts of classical music in the 21st century in Germany, USA and the Czech Republic
