Public auctions and court distrainers auctions
Ondráček, Tomáš ; Štěpánek, Petr (advisor) ; Kostelanský, Ludvík (referee)
A creditor has the possibility to settle a claim not only with the help of a court distrainer, but also with a system of public auctions. In my opinion, the first option is much more used because the public does not know the advantages of public auctions. In my bachelor's thesis I compare the public auctions under the Act on Public Auctions to the court distrainer auctions under the Civil Procedure Code and Execution Procedure. In the first and second part I describe both auction systems. In the other part I highlight the major differences of both systems. In the last part I assess chosen elements, explain the advantages and disadvantages of both systems and suggest possible modifications for greater effectiveness of the auctions.

Kvapilová, Nikola ; Štěpánek, Petr (advisor) ; Hubková, Pavlína (referee)
The bachelor thesis is focused on free movement of services within the EU and EEA Members states and Switzerland, as one of the freedoms of the EU single market. EU single market offers to service providers to expand their business to other Member states in the form of temporary provision of services through the posting workers by employers or cross-border provision of services by self-employed persons or freelancers. The thesis focus especially on requirements that service providers have to fulfil in case of temporary provision of services in all Member states, specifically it focus on requirements that are set in the Czech Republic. The final chapter presents possible barriers for service providers.

Rental, tenancy and leasing - Conformity and differences
Jindra, Petr ; Švarc, Zbyněk (advisor) ; Štěpánek, Petr (referee)
The thessis focuses on comparison of rental, tenancy and leasing in legal and practical perspective. The aim is to find out how can these instruments be used for acquisition of movable property for private needs. A car has been chosen as an example. For research and evaluation there have been chosen methods of analysis and comparison. Common habit of private persons in acquisitions of cars is to take a credit or leasing from financial institution. The author of this thessis compares offers of those two methods along with an offer for rental as well as their terms and conditions. Car rental has come out as the cheapest in examined case. The results of examination cannot be generalized, because this case has been evaluated under specific conditions.

Regulation of launching medical devices onto the market
Litavský, Ondřej ; Vavrečka, Jan (advisor) ; Štěpánek, Petr (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with the topic concerning regulation of launching medical devices onto the market with regard to the analysis of key regulatory framework. The aim of the thesis is to find out if the legal framework really fulfils its de lege ferenda objectives. The purpose of this thesis is to confirm or disprove a hypothesis that the regulation of launching medical devices onto the market is sufficient and effective from the point of view of consumer protection and interests of other stakeholders. Secondary aim of this diploma thesis is to confirm or disprove a hypothesis that the harmonization of legal framework in the EU is appropriate and effective. These hypothesis are to a certain extent following up the verification of four essential goals that should be reached by the regulation. One of the key aims is assuring the safety of the products, enabling them to move freely in terms of the internal market of the EU and assuring that the consumer isn't misled when deciding about his optimal situation. Besides that the regulation shouldn't unnecessarily slow down the activities of businesses and inappropriately limit their innovation potential. The diploma thesis has a critical point of view concerning some aspects of this regulation and in the end the author suggests some proposals in order to improve the current practice.

Drivers of soil moisture trends in the Czech Republic between 1961 and 2012
Trnka, Miroslav ; Brázdil, Rudolf ; Balek, J. ; Semerádová, Daniela ; Hlavinka, Petr ; Možný, M. ; Štěpánek, Petr ; Dobrovolný, Petr ; Zahradníček, Pavel ; Dubrovský, Martin ; Eitzinger, Josef ; Fuchs, B. ; Svoboda, M. ; Hayes, M. ; Žalud, Zdeněk
Soil moisture dynamics and their temporal trends in the Czech Republic are forced by various drivers. Our analysis of temporal trends indicates that shifts in drought severity between 1961 and 2012 and especially in the April, May, and June period, which displayed such results as a 50% increase in drought probability during 1961–1980 in comparison to 2001–2012. We found that increased global radiation and air temperature together with decreased relative humidity (all statistically significant at p < 0.05) led to increases in the reference evapotranspiration in all months of the growing season; this trend was particularly evident in April, May, and August, when more than 80% of the territory displayed an increased demand for soil water. These changes, in combination with the earlier end of snow cover and the earlier start of the growing season (up to 20 days in some regions), led to increased actual evapotranspiration at the start of the growing season that tended to deplete the soil moisture earlier, leaving the soil more exposed to the impacts of rainfall variability. These results support concerns related to the potentially increased severity of drought events in Central Europe. The reported trend patterns are of particular importance with respect to expected climate change, given the robustness and consistency of the trends shown and the fact that they can be aligned with the existing climate model projections.

Testing a statistical forecasting model of electric energy consumption for two regions in the Czech Republic
Rajdl, Kamil ; Farda, Aleš ; Štěpánek, Petr ; Zahradníček, Pavel
Precise forecasting of electric energy consumption is of great importance for the electric power industry. It helps system operators optimally schedule and control power systems, and even slight improvements in prediction accuracy might yield large savings or profits. For these reasons, many forecasting models based on various principles have been developed and studied. Because of energy consumption’s strong dependence on weather conditions, such models often utilize outputs from numerical weather prediction models. In this study, we present and analyse a statistical model for forecasting hourly electrical energy consumption by customers of E.ON Energie, a.s. in two regions of the Czech Republic. The aim of this model is to create hourly predictions up to several days in advance. The model uses hourly data of consumed energy from 2011–2014 and corresponding predictions of temperature and cloudiness provided by the ALADIN/ CZ model. The statistical model is based on a regression analysis applied to appropriate data samples and supplemented by several optional post-processing methods. Specifically, we use a robust linear regression algorithm to identify energy consumption’s dependence on temperature, the meteorological variable with the largest influence on consumption. Our post-processing methods focused on removing prediction bias resulting from economic situations (represented by the goss domestic product, GDP) and sudden temperature changes. We analysed the presented model from the point of view of the hourly predictions’ accuracy for 2013 and 2014. Accuracy was primarily measured by mean absolute error. It was evaluated for individual months, and the effects of individual parts of the model on accuracy value are shown. Introduction

Köppen–Geiger climate classification by different regional climate models according to the SRES A1B scenario in the 21st century
Szabó-Takács, Beáta ; Farda, Aleš ; Zahradníček, Pavel ; Štěpánek, Petr
We investigate future climate conditions projected by six regional climate model (RCM) simulations driven by the SRES A1B emission scenario. As a diagnostic tool of climate change, we used the Köppen–Geiger climate classification as it is suitable for assessing climate change impacts on ecosystems. The analysis is based on a comparison of Köppen–Geiger climate subtypes during two future time slices (2021–2050 and 2070– 2100) with climate subtypes observed during 1961–2000. All RCMs showed expansion of the area covered by warmer climate types in the future, but the magnitude of the growth varied among RCMs. The differences stemmed from several sources, mainly boundary forcing provided by the driving global circulation models (GCMs) as well as different physical packages, resolution, and natural variability representation in individual GCMs. In general, RCMs driven by the ECHAM5-r3 GCM projected cooler climate conditions than did RCMs driven by the ARPÈGE GCM. This can be explained by two factors related to ECHAM5-r3: i) exaggerated transport of cool and moist air from the North Atlantic to Europe in summer, and ii) winter advection of cold air from the Artic owing to North Atlantic Oscillation blocking pattern alteration during solar minima as well as higher natural variability. RCM-related properties, such as physical package and spatial resolution, may also significantly affect climate predictions, although they do so to a smaller extent than does the driving GCM data.

Electronic Public Procurement
Šandor, Matej ; Švarc, Zbyněk (advisor) ; Štěpánek, Petr (referee) ; Jurčík, Radek (referee) ; Vršecký, Radek (referee)
This thesis deals with the issue of electronic public procurement. The aim of this thesis is to confirm or disprove the following hypotheses. The first hypothesis of this dissertation is the claim that the current legislation constitutes an adequate legal basis for the implementation of electronic public procurement. The second hypothesis states that the electronic public procurement is more efficient and more transparent than the public procurement without electronization. Examining the first hypothesis was chosen in order to determine whether it is necessary to change the law for the possibility of fully electronic public procurement. The second hypothesis, then, in essence asks whether electronization of public procurement improves the efficiency of public procurement and whether it contributes to increase the transparency of public procurement.
