Signaling Effect of Dividends
Strnad, Jan ; Rippel, Milan (advisor) ; Vokatá, Petra (referee)
This thesis deals with the question of whether there is a positive relationship between dividend and firm's value. Thesis focuses on the signaling theory which states that dividends convey information from managers about the future performance of the company to investors. The first part covers theoretical background for determining the optimal level of dividends. It focuses on description of processes how firm's future profitability may be communicated via dividends and critical assessment of signaling models, particularly in respect to their assumptions and the relationship between dividends and stock repurchase. The second part verifies the signaling theory based on data from WSE (Warsaw Stock Exchange). It describes the specifics of Polish market and the methodology of data collection. Then hypotheses whether the amount of dividend has an impact on the stock price on the day of the announcement and whether announced dividend convey the information about firm's future profitability are tested. In the end there are presented the results. Analysis of the collected data gave mixed evidence for the signalling theory. Data confirmed the relationship between dividends and firms' future profitability, but not the relationship with stock prices. Based on the results I hypothesise that the information contained in...

Lapse Analysis of Insurance Contracts
Strnad, Jan ; Mertl, Jakub (advisor) ; Mazurová, Lucie (referee)
The aim of the present work is to develop a tool for identification of Motor Third Party Liability insurance contracts which are at risk of cancellation. Methods for explorative data analysis, building a logistic regression model, comparing models and their validation and calibration are presented. Several models are developed on the real dataset using mentioned methods and then the final one is chosen. Behavior of the final model is verified by the validation on the out-of-time sample. Last step is calibration of the model to the expected value of the future portfolio cancellation rate.

International protection of persons with health disabilities
Strnad, Jan ; Hýbnerová, Stanislava (advisor) ; Faix, Martin (referee)
International protection of persons with disabilities Summary The theme of this thesis is the protection of persons with disabilities under international law. In last decades there have been a dramatic shift in the perception of disability. It has changed from medical approach to the social model of disability, which is closely connected with the human rights perspective on the "disability rights". This paradigm shift has culminated in adoption of the United Nations Convention on the rights of people with disabilities. Violating of their human have several forms and is spreaded all over the world. Nevertheless, the number of them is still growing. According to the WHO estimations about 15 % of world population live with some form of disability and most of them in developing countries in the condictions of the lack of elementary resources and support. Relation between disability, discrimination, poverty nad social exclusion is thus more than clear. On the other hand, people with disabilities definitely do not present any kind of homogeneous group. Diversity of people with disabilities brings a serious challenge in the various forms of obstacles and barriers preventing them from full and equal enjoyment of their human rights and thus a wide range of measures necessary to eliminate them. The aim of this work...

Design of atypical heated bed for 3D printer
Strnad, Jan ; Slaný, Martin (referee) ; Zemčík, Oskar (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with an atypical heated bed for FDM 3D printer. It presents the most commonly used ways of heating and the chosen variant of the heated beds are realized by powerful resistors. There are also discussed three ways of placement of resistors on the desktop motherboards that are modeled in Autodesk Inventor Professional 2016 and exported to Autodesk Fusion 360, where FEM calculations are made. Optimal alternative is made and tested. The test results are compared with the results of thermal simulations in Autodesk Fusion 360.

Increasing production effectiveness of wooden mounting part
Strnad, Jan ; Mouralová, Kateřina (referee) ; Zemčík, Oskar (advisor)
This bachelor thesis describes the current production of semi-finished wood in a company TON a.s. These semi products are subsequently designed for assembly, painting, packaging and distribution. Bachelor thesis closer specializes in the production of slotting the mounting rail to the wooden part of the machine Zuckerman, then assembling and gluing to the assembly, which consists of two pieces of wood. These reports serve as sub-assemblies for assembly chair. Identification of deficiencies in the production of cutting grooves in wood parts and their assembly is the main task of work. Based on the knowledge base was developed techno-economic evaluation.

Company financial analysis from the field of industrial automation
Strnad, Jan ; Klečka, Jiří (advisor) ; Goldmann, Richard (referee)
The first part of the diploma thesis focuses on the theoretical basis and methodology of chosen instruments of the financial analysis. In its second part, the companies are introduced and then the instruments of the financial analysis are applied. In the final part, the results are summed up and recommendations are provided. The financial analysis is made mainly for the use of the company management, but does not exclude its use by the external users. The aim of the diploma thesis is to analyze the economic activities of the companies Esonic a.s., GEA Process Engineering s.r.o. and ATE, spol. s r.o., based on the chosen features of the financial analysis from 2006 to 2011. Next aim is to compare the achieved results of the features between the competing companies, followed by recommendations made for the company managements in order to enhance the effectiveness of economic activity in the coming years.
