Money laundering
Kocur, Martin ; Hraba, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Pokorný, Jan (referee)
Money laundering is marginalized phenomenon with high social impact which comes from necessary connection of this activity with illegal activities, especially organized crime. Since the goal of almost every illegal activity is to create profit (and since the biggest profit comes from the activities which are highly dangerous for the society, such as drug trafficking) it is vital for the society to fight money laundering effectively. It is in the best interest of the whole society to fight this phenomenon and cut the organized crime out of their resources through effective control of the money laundering. The goal of this thesis is to explain the issue of money laundering in detail, to map the whole process while using mostly comparative and analytic methods and summarize the international and Czech anti- money laundering legislation. I would be glad if the reader had truly concrete idea about the phenomenon of money laundering after reading my thesis. In the first part, I am dealing with the whole concept of money laundering, meaning history and definition of the term itself. I also compare terms money laundering and legalization of proceeds from crime. Then I analyze the true nature of money laundering and financing of terror and the process of money laundering. I also deal with concrete subjects...

Investment instruments
Mrázek, Jan ; Pokorný, Jan (advisor) ; Hraba, Zdeněk (referee)
1 Abstract Title of the thesis: Investment instruments The main purpose of this thesis is to analyze various investment instruments, their markets and their feasibility as an alternative to saving products. Secondary purpose of this thesis is to define a model investor, create reasonable and fitting investment strategy for them and introduce examples of investment portfolios that fulfill the strategy. The thesis is divided into two main chapters, each of which analyzes investment instruments from different perspectives. Chapter One introduces the instruments in general and describes their key characteristics, their legal regulation and brief history. One subchapter is dedicated to explaining motives driving the participants of financial markets. Another subchapter categorizes the investment instruments and divides them into distinct groups. Last subchapter investigates the financial markets themselves and describes their types, structure and functions. Chapter Two introduces a model investor and describes their particular motives for investing. Two subchapters analyze historical development of selected instruments and saving products and then compare the results. In the last subchapter assumptions are made about various products' feasibility for the model investor. Specific investment strategy for the model...

The current status of social bookmarking tools
Sion, František ; Papík, Richard (advisor) ; Pokorný, Jan (referee)
The aim of the thesis is to characterise and on basic level analyse current social bookmarking tools. The first chapter offers a definition of social bookmarking which is represented by three axes: URL, user, tags. URL has a key role. A subcategory called social news exists, in its case time in which a resource represented by the URL is shared makes an important factor. Social bookmarking is introduced as a helpful tool for a user's work. It has two aspects: effective organisation of user bookmarks and social environment which allows for discovery of useful resources. The second chapter focuses on history of bookmarks, history of social bookmarking and describes options for connection of social bookmarking tools to related tools. The third chapter describes function of social bookmarking tools, specifically the characteristics of users and communities. The fourth chapter compares Delicious, reddit, Diigo and Pinboard tools and analyses Delicious and reddit. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Biomechanical aspects of the dynamics of intracranial pressure in traumatic brain injury
Mayer, Martin ; Jelen, Karel (advisor) ; Maršík, František (referee) ; Pokorný, Jan (referee)
Title: Biomechanical aspects of the dynamics of intracranial pressure in traumatic brain injury Author: Ing. Martin Mayer e-mail: mayercz@seznam.cz Department: Department of Anatomy and Biomechanics Supervisor: doc. PaedDr. Karel Jelen, CSc. This PhD thesis "Biomechanical aspects of the dynamics of intracranial pressure in traumatic brain injury" is about the dynamics of intracranial pressure, particularly in relation to the external mechanical action of the patient. Severe head injury is the leading cause of death in patients under 35 years of age. Despite constantly-improving medical and nursing care only one third of patients, after recovery, regained the ability to live independently in the long term. Two-thirds of patients were severely disabled or died. The lifetime cost of such a patient who was not completely cured has been calculated to be $4,000,000. A significant consequence of craniocerebral injuries are secondary brain lesions, which among other means the rise in intracranial pressure (ICP), which can further exacerbate due to intracerebral or extracerebral causes. Therefore, the objective of the treatment is minimizing secondary injury, optimally at the phase of the primary lesion. However, realization of this requirement, about which we can say that is a conditio sine qua non, sometimes leads...

Mortgage crisis
Archalous, Martin ; Pokorný, Jan (advisor) ; Bažantová, Ilona (referee)
The thesis deals with the US mortgage crisis of 2008. The mortgage crisis, the following financial crisis and the debt crisis have affected billions of people around the world. It has been widely covered in literature. This thesis, however, takes a different approach. It analyses the crisis form the point of view of law and economics, looking for overlaps between those disciplines. The author does not accept the divide between law and economics. It is necessary to consider both views in order to understand the crisis. This work does not seek causes of the crisis primarily in the banks and the lack of regulation, as is common view. Rather, this thesis looks for systemic failures and root causes. It focuses on monetary policy (especially the US Fed), the regulatory institutions, bank management and the role of credit rating agencies and exotic financial instruments. In the first part of the work, the author looks at possible causes in different areas: Monetary policy and global trade imbalances, regulation of the mortgage market and government support of affordable housing, banks and their management (corporate governance), regulation and deregulation of the banking sector (with emphasis on the functioning of regulatory institutions, their legal basis and historical context), so-called securitization and...

The distribution of the strain and differences of muscle activity of the lower limb during stance phase in two basic running techniques
Šimon, Jan ; Slabý, Kryštof (advisor) ; Pokorný, Jan (referee)
This thesis is focused on the function of the foot during the running activity. There are two basic running techniques taken in account - the rearfoot strike and the forefoot strike. The aim is to compare the distribution of the strain during the stance phase of running cycle and its relation to the muscle activity of the lower limb. To analyze the muscle activity we use the technique of electromyography (EMG). To measure the pressure during the stance phase we used Pedar - X insoles from the Novel company. As a conclusion we aim to map the distribution of the strain of all particular parts of the lower limb. At the same time we are bringing the proposals for eliminating the overexertion while keeping the same training intensity and volumes.
