Laterality and other factors affecting wages in PR agencies
Borovská, Radka ; Houdek, Petr (advisor) ; Brožová, Dagmar (referee)
Left-handed persons are expected to earn less as a penalty for their unstandard hand orientation. However, it was discovered, that the reality is opposite (Denny, O'Sullivan 2007). This thesis examines on a sample of employees of PR agencies in the Czech republic success of left-handed persons in work according to their wage, frequency of promotions and working position. There was no correlation with laterality observed. Another tested part is their alcohol consumption and frequency of their visits in pubs, which should positively influence their wages, if their consumption is moderate (Peters, Stringham 2006). However, it was discovered, that wages are influenced by sex, but not by laterality, even alcohol consumption does not influence wages. Smoking influence amount of wages in a negative way (Levine et al. 1997) and is more common between left-handed persons (Ernest Harburg, Anna Feldstein, James Papsdorf 1978). There is a relationship between laterality and smoking, but there is no effect of smoking on wages at all.

Development of Graphic-motor and Writing Skills of Left-handed Pupils
VOSLÁŘOVÁ, Petra
In our thesis we deal with the development of writing skills of left-handed children and with dificulties which are caused by uncorrect methodological help. Our thesis is divided into two parts. In the theoretic one we outline problems of the occurrance of the left-handness with regard to the brain asymmetry and changes of the laterality during person{\crq}s development. We focus on the way how to recognize wether the child is the left-hander or the right-hander and on the correct methodological help with writing of left-handed children. The other part of our thesis is practical part. In this part we make the concept of the copy-book for left-handed children, it means the copy-book with the neutral slope of letters. This neutral slope is more natural for left-handers. The thesis is documented with supplementory material.
