HOUDEK, Petr
Thesis topic is "The readiness of primary school educators in teaching of the protection of the population in the district Tábor, Soběslav" brings the insight to the protection of the population at the elementary schools in the cities named above. The theme of thesis I chose due to my long experience with education and protection of the population. For many years I have been providing courses and lectures in the field of protection of the population, and then I started to teach first aid. Currently I prepare and provide educational programs for children, youth and adults in the area of civil protection and behavior in different emergencies. Children, youth even adults have lack of knowledge in this issue which I noticed during to my training programs. I am also teaching staff so tried helped to teachers. The purpose of this thesis was to find out readiness of teachers in the area of protection of the population and how their experiences are forwarded to pupils. Readiness of teachers at elementary school is very important. In most of the time it is pupil´s first time and sometime, unfortunately, last time they encounter with theoretical part of protection of the population in education. The aim is to determine the current situation of preparedness of teachers in the area of protection of the population in particular area. Thesis should be feedback of published manuals, methods of work of teachers with experts and professional from the Ministry of the Interior of the Czech Republic, as well as others. The thesis is divided into theoretical and practical part. Theoretical part is based on literature, internet resources and legislation related to protection of the population and pupils at the elementary schools. In the first part I focused on the basic terms related to protection of the population. International humanitarian law in relation with protection of the population is described in the next part. Also historical context in the Czech Republic is mentioned. Other parts give insight to legislation related to the protection of the population; concept of protection of the population in the Czech Republic also integrated rescue system of the Czech Republic and important tasks of its main parts are mentioned. Also basic tasks of protecting of the population are described. The last theoretical part is focused on training and education related to the protection of the population in the Czech Republic and its possible future evolution. Two hypothesis and research methodology were specified in the first part of the practical section. Evaluation of research of teaching staff and pupils of primary schools is described in the following section. The chapter "Discussion" deeply describes the results of the research and hypotheses. Both hypotheses were verified and accepted. The aim of the thesis and research was to compare the readiness of teachers at chosen elementary schools in the field of protection of the population and how their experiences are forwarded to pupils. The result is a confirmation that teachers at the chosen elementary schools have readiness and sufficient knowledge in the area of the civil protection. The thesis is primarily intended to representatives and teachers of involved schools such as to improve teaching of protection of the population. The results will be provided to interested ministries.

Factors influencing altruism
Kopecký, Robin ; Flegr, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Houdek, Petr (referee)
There are multiple theories about how moral judgement is made. In this study, we are investigating relationship between latent factors (moral conservatism, intelligence and CRT) and utilitarian versus deontological decisions in hypothetical moral dilemmas as variant of trolley problem. According to previous research moral judgement is made by proximate causes like Green's Dual process or Social-intuitionist model of Haidt. On the assumption of Partner choice (individual selection) we are able to test its predictions on moral dilemmas. The aim of this study was to investigate a possible link of these factors, proximal and ultimate mechanisms. Our results suggest that women display more harm aversion in moral dilemmas. Second, that there is a relation between sacrificial judgments in the hypothetical dilemmas and preference for sexual bondage. Third, that prediction of morality based on Partner choice model of evolution does not correspond to actual moral judgements. Key words: Altruism; moral judgement; thought experiments; Partner choice

Evolution of dowry
Pokorný, Daniel ; Kuběna, Aleš (advisor) ; Houdek, Petr (referee)
The topic of marriage markets is solved mainly by economics scientists so far (Tertilt 2002, 2005, Botticini and Siow 2003). Much less attention about this issue is paid by biologists. It is still unclear how variant types of marriage transactios influence the shape of societies. However, the importace is not negligible. Uderstanding of these questions may help us at least partly answer to some of the problems current societies face to. keywords: dowry, brideprice, marriage transactions, social structure

Eseje o ekonomii a managementu: Aplikace behaviorálních věd v organizacích
Houdek, Petr ; Smrčka, Luboš (advisor) ; Belás, Jaroslav (referee) ; Šťastný, Daniel (referee)
The thesis consists of four conceptual articles focused on application of theories and findings of behavioral economics and behavioral ethics in the sphere of managerial science (What Comes to a Manager's Mind: Theory of Local Thinking; A Perspective on Consumers 3.0: They Are Not Better Decision-Makers Than Previous Generations; Professional Identity and Dishonest Behavior; Puppet Master: Possible Influence of Parasite Toxoplasma gondii on Managers and Employees). The thesis contains introductory unifying commentary that deals with the replication crisis in management science and then speculates on the possibilities of behavioral organization economics. Introductory commentary contains also a summary of the main ideas presented in the conceptual articles and complementary empirical studies listed in the Appendix.

How does the culture history of his native country influence fair-play game?
Skořepa, Matouš ; Houdek, Petr (advisor) ; Slaný, Martin (referee)
The work examines the influence of culture native country, represented by years of war, the numbers of murders per capita, rule of law index, the proportion of believers in the population, as well as individual characteristics, represented by age, salary and a height of players, on fairplay athletes in the NBA in years 2005-2011 for 20 countries. Regression analysis carried out using OLS with the inclusion of robust standard errors confirmed a statistically significant influence of state characteristics of and single individual characteristics, salary. Increasing the number of years in which the country is at war conflict, 1 year leads to an increase in the number of fouls in the game by about 0,6 %, the potential increase of the index rule of law by 1 point associated with a reduction in the number of fouls in a match of 2,8%, increase in the number of murders in the country by 1 % point relates surprisingly, reducing the number of fouls by 0,017%, increasing the proportion of believers in a population of 1 % corresponds to the reduction in the number of fouls player by 0,07 % and the potential increase in the annual player's salary by 1 % point is related to the decrease in the number of fouls by 0,07 %. The surprising result of the influence of the number of murders fouls may be due to the fact that murder is already very extreme manifestation of violence that not all individuals are able to, so this factor is not relevant. The results show that national characteristics have much greater impact on violent behavior than individual characteristics of an individual. Culture homeland is rooted deep in man and carries him into another environment. This finding could be beneficial for the economy of criminology where authorities could via targeted directing cultural factors affecting negatively to human behavior achieve to increase the prevention of violence.

Vliv kognitivního vyčerpání na rozhodování
Farská, Kateřina ; Houdek, Petr (advisor) ; Rusina, Robert (referee)
One of the factors significantly influencing our daily decisions is the so-called cognitive depletion.The theory of cognitive depletion postulates the existence of a limited mental resource that is necessary for self-regulation. If the resource is diminished by a task involving self-control, achievement in subsequent self-control task will be impaired. This project examines the effect of cognitive depletion on decisions in the Iowa Gambling Task designed to simulate real-life decision making involving gains and losses. Further, a possible effect of moderating factors that could be affected by cognitive depletion and consequently influence decisions in the Iowa Gambling Task -- risk preference and impulsivity -- is investigated. Dual-process theories postulate there are two systems involved in decision-making: faster, intuitive, emotional System 1 and slower, deliberative, rational System 2. It was found that cognitive depletion leads to enhancement of System 1. As advantageous decisions in the Iowa Gambling Task are closely related to emotional reactions -- domain of System 1 -- it was hypothesized that cognitive depletion will lead to not worse, or possibly even better results in depleted subjects. A controlled laboratory experiment was conducted involving 39 subjects in total. No difference was found in average desicions of depleted and non-depleted subjects in the Iowa Gambling Task, supporting the hypothesis. Further, short-term increase in impulsivity caused by cognitive depletion was very probably moderating choices in the IGT, leading to worse overall performance. Regarding risk preferences, we found that non-depleted subjects were generally more risk seeking in losses context, while depleted subjects exhibited rather loss aversion. This change in risk behaviors due to cognitive depletion very probably did not mediate choices in the Iowa Gambling Task.

Health economics: What heals us and what kills us
Janovský, Stanislav ; Houdek, Petr (advisor) ; Misic, Viktorija (referee)
This study deals with the health production function. It analyzes the impact of health care, socioeconomic, lifestyle and environmental factors on the mortality and life expectancy of the population of the Czech Republic. The analysis is made by linear regressions with time series data for the period from 1993 to 2011. Health care is measured by health care expenditures or by non-monetary indicators, the number of doctors and the consumption of pharmaceuticals. The results show that higher health care expenditures increase the mortality and reduce life expectancy. On the other hand higher number of doctors and higher consumption of pharmaceuticals improve the health status of the population. It may indicate inefficiency and corruption in health sector. Important factors that positively influence health are wealth, education and fruit and vegetable consumption, smoking affects health negatively. The results suggest that health care policy should focus not only on effective allocation of health care expenditures but also on lifestyle and socioeconomic status of the population. The limits of this work are short time series which don't allow the use of the lagged explanatory variables.

Korupce v křesťanském národě: „Ovlivňuje křesťanská víra úroveň korupce ve společnosti?“
Kraus, František ; Houdek, Petr (advisor) ; Svoboda, Miroslav (referee)
What are the determinants of corruption? This thesis builds upon contemporary approaches to assessing the level of corruption in different countries using purely economic determinants such as the aggregate income, level of education, openness to trade or taxation. This method is further enhanced by involving variables mapping the religiosity of the surveyed states as institutional determinants. Faith works as an agent that reduces selfish behavior and stresses moral values, thus it should prove to reduce corruption. The dataset involves data of 30 countries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) in the years 1999-2010. Two independent OLS models are set up using corruption perception indicators as endogenous variables; one with purely economic determinants, and the other with added religious determinants of corruption. Expansion of the model gives out a more robust set of results with greater determination. The results show that increasing number of Protestants in a society correlates with lower levels of corruption. The effect of the government spending on education has been considerably reduced after involving the religious variables. However, corruption does not seem to be influenced by the percentage of Christians in total population.
