Precarity as a real experience of the self-employed and micro-enterprises
Marková Volejníčková, Romana ; Lukeš, M. ; Maříková, Hana ; Zouhar, J. ; Švarcová, Markéta ; Orel, M. ; Dvouletý, O.
The research report summarises the results of the project's activities.Namely, four expert studies focusing on platform and family entrepreneurship, start-ups and coworking. The report includes findings from a quantitative survey of self-employed and micro-entrepreneurs (up to 10 employees) and a survey focused on business start-ups and new forms of entrepreneurship. It also presents findings from two qualitative research focusing on micro-entrepreneurs' strategies for securing themselves during periods of income loss from their business in times of sickness and on low-income self-employed and their strategies for sustaining their business, e.g. during a pandemic of covid 19. Together, the sections of the report thus form a complex mosaic that reflects the precarious specificities of the self-employed and micro-entrepreneurs and points to their impacts.

Postglacial vegetation history of local phenomena in western Bohemia
Švarcová, Markéta Gabriela ; Kuneš, Petr (advisor) ; Kozáková, Radka (referee)
In the sense of postglacial vegetation development, western Bohemia represents one of the least studied regions in the Czech Republic. This area, however, represents a supposed migration route of trees towards northern Europe during the Holocene. The most appropriate area for testing of such proposal might be western Sudetes with Slavkovský les protected landscape area in the Karlovy Vary region. Postglacial vegetation history was studied on the basis of two sedimentary profiles - from the fen bog near Číhanské prameny springs and from the vicinity of Mnichovské hadce serpentines from the nature reserve Mokřady pod Vlčkem. Percentual as well as influx diagrams were constructed on the basis of results of standard pollen analysis. Comparison of these results with the data from other suitable profiles enabled reconstruction of migration history of main tree taxa. The Číhaná profile reflects the period from the Older Dryas up to the Atlantic. The oldest Holocene forest was formed by the dominant Pinus, while Corylus was joining already in the Preboreal. Quercetum mixtum folowed in the begining of the Boreal and spruce quickly gained dominance in the Atlantic. The sedimentation process was probably finished due to rapid accumulation of sediments followed by spontaneous drainage ending with spruce and alder...

Analysis of public discussion on the topic of the position of wemen in decision making processes
Švarcová, Markéta ; Dudová, Radka (advisor) ; Vávra, Martin (referee)
The Abstract The thesis is focused on views on the role of women in decision-making processes. Public and private sector is characterised by a low level of representation of women in decision-making positions. In connection to the directives of the European Commission, which introduce mechanisms supporting an increase the number of representatives of underrepresented sex in supervisory boards, the debate unleashed on the subject of quotas. Opinions on the effectiveness of quota mechanisms in the Czech Republic are reflected in the media space. This paper aims to describe and analyze the opinions of public discussion on the mechanisms of quotas. Through a discourse analysis of media contributions it tries to determine what arguments planes occurring in the public debate on a subject introduction of quotas. Analyzed articles are dated to the period between May 2014 and May 2015. Individual argumentative discourse planes are systematically coded by discursive rules in recurrent categories. Categories are also thematically merged into discursive planes with respect to their intertextuality and intediscursivity. The results of the analysis are then subjected to a comparison to the development of discursive anchoring the topic of quotas in the European environment.
