Vrbová, Zuzana ; Sobotka, Michal (advisor) ; Fiala, Zdeněk (referee)
Mapping the History and Future of Carbon Taxation in the EU: Carbon Tax and Subsidiarity Principle Abstract With the growing awareness of climate change impacts, policymakers around the world are trying to develop legislation that would tackle the issue in the most effective manner. They often choose economic regulatory tools such as carbon tax. This thesis is primarily focused on the possibility to establish a common carbon tax legal framework at the EU level. It argues that there are multiple obstacles to it which often stem from the past and current understanding of the subsidiarity principle. Therefore, the objective of the thesis is to show how these obstacles can be overcome while still preserving the fundamental principles the Union is based on. In the first part, theories regarding carbon tax and subsidiarity principle are explained. After that, relevant pieces of the EU legislation and policy documents are analyzed. Finally, the application of tools found in these documents which, theoretically, enable the adoption of the common tax framework is evaluated. The analysis has shown that the adoption of a common EU carbon tax framework is achievable. Yet, it would be problematic to obtain unanimity in the Council which is likely needed for this legislation to be passed. The EU primary law includes...

Selected topics from climate change law with a focus on the transfer of technologies
Vrbová, Zuzana ; Žákovská, Karolina (advisor) ; Sobotka, Michal (referee)
The first chapter of this thesis discusses the recent development of climate change law. It explores the reason as to why it is at the centre of a global debate, which is predominantly due the increasingly pronounced consequences of climatic changes on human society and the environment. Furthermore, it describes the most important requirements in tackling the issues presented by international climate change treaties. This includes the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, acting as a base for the whole international climate change regime, the Kyoto Protocol as a legal tool with specified emission targets and most recently, the Paris Agreement, which serves as an independent international treaty however is still under the guidance of the framework convention. The author predicts that the Paris Agreement will determine the future direction of this legal field and therefore puts particular focus on this treaty in the first chapter of the thesis. The paper aims to uncover its weaknesses - questioning the enforceability of some of the measures that rely on the autonomy of states to implement and the lack of ambition in some of its targets. The second chapter expands on one of the key issues related to the main topic. The author emphasizes how the importance of environmentally friendly...

Vrbová, Zuzana ; Honců, Pavla (advisor) ; Nováková, Eva (referee)
A great number of the adult population suffers from back pain, which relates to improper lifestyle and inadequate use of locomotive apparatus. On these bases, functional and later on even structural changes may appear in the body. Structural 57 changes are most often managed surgically. In case erroneous locomotive stereotypes and uneconomic use persist even after a surgery, relapse and other problems may occur. This thesis focused on the urgent dilemma of the vertebrae-surgery patients and the necessity of their postsurgical rehabilitation. Factors and causes, which may possibly lead to prolapsed disc, are discussed in this thesis. Further on, the possibility of developing a Failed back surgery syndrome is mentioned in connection with a surgical solution of vertebral diseases. One of the main causes of this syndrome occurring in patients is neglecting postsurgical rehabilitation. Therefore, I highly emphasized the importance of postsurgical rehabilitation in my thesis. For a successful recovery, immediate postsurgical care as well as education of the patient and long term precautions is essential. The ultimate goal is to cultivate such locomotive habits that would restrain relapse of the problems. These habits include mainly active exercise and an adequate use of the locomotive apparatus.

The main aim of this thesis is to show possibilities of how to work with projects in the nonprofit field of educational resort. The opening part is a summary of six chapters. I tried to summarize my own, as well as other theoretical knowledge and basic information concerning the branch of the project procedure, which are important for the following practical part of the thesis. I deal with individual phases of the project procedure, in which I explain terms such as project framework, the lifecycle of project, evaluation methods of projects, the use of information technology, risks that might appear in project procedure etc. Further in my thesis, which is very important, I focus on possibilities of project fundraising in schools. I present basic information about The European Business Academy in Decin, where I am employed. I also deal with options that teachers and students have to extend their education abroad, so called "the mobility of students and teachers". The main part of my thesis includes projects which are being prepared at The European Business Academy in Decin. As an example, I enclose a project which was conducted by students together with teachers and its implementation into use. The second project is a project objective which was not implemented. The third project is being processed and the fourth one has been approved. Another aim of my thesis is to show to other schools how to work with projects and give them a guideline how to involve not only teachers or other employees but also students. Since 2010 students of the final grade will create team projects and the process and defence of the project will be included in the final school-leaving examination.
