Urban, Michal ; Čech, František (advisor) ; Turnovec, František (referee)
This thesis analyses the impact of sports results on Czech stock market. As sports results we used the matches played by Czech national football and ice hockey teams in main international competitions. As a proxy for Czech stock market we use PX index, the official index of Prague Stock Exchange. In our thesis, we applied ARMA-GARCH-t model to study the impact of results. We found only negative effect after losses of Czech national football team. The effect was statistically significant when we controlled for importance of the matches and was stronger for elimination games. There was no significant effect after wins and draws. We also did not find any significant effect after matches of Czech national ice hockey team.

Morality and law
Zídek, Tomáš Matjaž ; Mucha, Ivan (advisor) ; Urban, Michal (referee)
1 Morality and law For the most of us it is quite clear what law is. Most of us have certain idea what law represents. A lot of us may have a different idea, it is because of many elements which affect our law perception. On the most basic level, law is something which is connected to specific values in society. Based on this idea we can certainly say that law is something which guarantees balance in society and system which provides safety. On the other hand, morality is a subject of a discipline called ethics. This subject represents a system which provides and protects distinctive values which have different normative quality. This system is formed by high amount of appropriate rules of behavior and its way to realize this behavior. In the past, the connection between these two systems was very important, it was a noticeable fact that these two systems cooperate and communicate. Even though nowadays these systems are more and more divided, they still interact. In the law of Czech Republic the connection between morality and law can be observed especially in the good manners. Good manners are intentions which are projected throughout the whole law system. The main goal of good manners and morality is to fill the gaps in the law. Another important goal is also to straighten the perception of justice in the...

URBAN, Michal
The aim of the thesis is to analyse and compare the free time activities of people with ADHD and people without ADHD, as well as analysing manifestations related to the topic. The theoretical section of my thesis is dedicated to the causes of ADHD, as well as its manifestations. The idea of free time is also explained. In the practical part of my thesis, I interviewed five respondents with ADHD and five respondents without ADHD;these interviews were evaluated. The final results were formulated based on the differences between the answers of interviewed respondents and on the theoretical thinking. The thesis points out the fact, that individuals with ADHD have problems managing their free time, they tend to change their free time activities at random and sport seems like a wasted energy to them.

Interception - a public issue? Publishing the records of police in mass media
Janoušek, Milan ; Urban, Michal (advisor) ; Agha, Petr (referee)
The focus of my thesis is the issue of publishing police wiretaps in mass media. The work is divided into four parts. The first part deals with the role of mass media in today's society and its influence on politics and democracy. All of which from a media studies point of view. It also focuses on infotainment as I consider publishing wiretaps as one of the most significant manifestation of this growing trend. The second part explores mass media from a legal point of view. It describes the current state of media legislation and self-regulation. Basic terminology and the rights and responsibilities of journalists are defined in the chapter. Using the test of proportionality, it explains how courts decide when the freedom of expression and the right to privacy collide. Decisions of the Czech Constitutional Court and the European Court of Human Rights are frequently cited in the work for a better understading of the issue. The third part is an analysis of various aspects of police wiretapping pursuant to the Criminal Procedure Code. Apart from legislation, it describes the practical aspects of wiretaps handling. File leak prevention is also discussed in the chapter. The fourth, yet the most original, part of the thesis is an analysis of two cases where wiretaps were published without consent during the...

Ethical rules of conduct of judges in the Czech Republic This master thesis deals with ethical rules of conduct of judges in the Czech Republic.

The main objective of this thesis is to provide the most comprehensive picture of the professional ethics of judges in the Czech Republic and the resources on which it puts. The topic is brought to the reader within five chapters. The first chapter introduces the reader to the topic of ethics and its relation with morality and law and brings the view from the perspective of philosophy and legal theory. The second chapter deals with professional ethics and professional ethical codes, presents to the reader what the professional ethical code should be like. The content of the third chapter is in the first place to introduce the reader to the character and personality of the judge, his status in the legal system and, above all, the analysis of the professional ethics of judges. This chapter is the core of the work and in the analysis of various aspects of professional ethics draws on information acquired in the previous chapters. The main basis for this chapter...

Novosad, Matouš ; Kosek, Jan (advisor) ; Urban, Michal (referee)
This Master's Thesis deals with the sociological phenomenon called affirmative action, which has appeared in different forms in many countries during the second half of 20th century. This topic, as rather complex and overlapping fields of more social sciences, is being widely discussed in the society. In some countries, application of affirmative action brings controversy and even division in the communities. This thesis aims to find the substance of affirmative action and compare it with the principles of equality before law. These topics are discussed in their sociological, psychological and legislative dimensions. The analysis stems from examples of particular causes and recent key judicial decisions in the United States of America, the European Union and India, illustrating legal aspects of affirmative action in different regions. Their discussion tries to point out the different dimensions of affirmative action, including the motivations for implementing it in the society and the following public reflections. Author's main concern is targeted to the relation between different aspects of affirmative action and the main elements of the idea of equality before law. Difference between social engineering approaches and good intention of legislator may be very subtle and politically dependent. In the...
