State-administrated secondary schooling leaving examinations (Maturita): stated objectives from the actors perspective
Biolek, Jiří ; Veselý, Arnošt (advisor) ; Šojdrová, Michaela (referee)
The bachelor's thesis deals with the area of education policy as a subset of public policy. It focuses on the issues associated with the Czech secondary school graduation examination (maturitní zkouška), presenting especially the current thinking in the area of graduation examination from the viewpoint of education policy actors. This thesis utilises the Advocacy Coalition Framework approach to identify belief consensuses within the graduation examination discourse across a segment of selected expert participants. For this purpose, the Q-methodology is applied as it is fundamentally able to reveal consensuses and thus identify the relevant coalitions. The chapter containing the outputs of Q factor analysis constitutes a crucial part of the thesis, clearly revealing two independent schools of thought in this area. Exploratory interviews were conducted during field research and their outputs significantly contributed to the description of the established factors and advocacy coalitions.

Stakeholders attitudes toward education policy management
Biolek, Jiří ; Veselý, Arnošt (advisor) ; Černý, Jakub (referee)
In this diploma thesis I focus on the issue of leading processes in the sphere of secondary education in the Czech Republic. In a narrower sense, I deal with the process of key models of the governance concept in a specific framework of educational policy from the stakeholders' perspective. The main outline of the work was created before the project Strategy 2030+ was launched and works as a certain retrospective of players approaches before that time. The basis of the work lies on my own primary qualitative data analysis arising from interviews with nineteen key actors. The aim of the research is a certain insight into the perspectives of actors with the intention of revealing the state and future possibilities of Czech secondary education in the field of multilevel governance. For this purpose, I have chosen the path of critical perspectives, which follows the exposed places of the mentioned subsystem. Following this objective, I try to define potential relationships among revealed facts. This work also has two remarkable outputs. The first is a theory of weak link that I created to anchor some difficult-to- explain outputs, and the second is documenting the process of creating an analytical filter for Atlas.ti software.

Change detection in RCA models
Biolek, Jiří ; Prášková, Zuzana (advisor) ; Hudecová, Šárka (referee)
The thesis describes Random Coefficient Autoregressive time series mo- dels (RCA models). In first chapter we introduce different types of estimati- ons for coefficients of RCA model. Main part is in second chapter, where we describe detection changes procedures for all methods mentioned in chapter one, here the thesis expands the current theory about change detection of wei- ghted least square method and functional estimation. In last chapter we sum- marize results of simulation study. 1

Credibility models for claim frequency
Biolek, Jiří ; Mazurová, Lucie (advisor) ; Cipra, Tomáš (referee)
The work deals with estimation of unknown risk parameters of a driver. Risk parameter indicates how many times more accidents we may expect from this driver compared with the average insurance group to which the driver is assigned according to the precarious classification. Risk parameter is a random variable, which is depending on the damage share of this driver. The second and third chapters describe the derivation of the estimates that minimize the quadratic and exponential loss function. It also compares the level of these estimates and the convergence rate. In chapter four there are several simulations performed and tables with estimates for any specific data created. 1
