Loučková, Lenka ; Kasáková, Zuzana (advisor) ; Drulák, Petr (referee)
Role of the king in Belgian federation Abstract This work analyzes the role and importance of the Belgian king in different areas of life. Its primary concern is to find out to what extent is his power real and how great is his importance as the head of the state. The position of the king in political life is analyzed through the powers dedicated to him by the constitution and customary law and through their current interpretation and application. Tools that king uses to influence the everyday life of Belgium are considered an important part of his function. Electoral programs and official statements are used to analyze the position of political actors, represented by political parties, towards the monarchy itself and the person of the king. The difference between the attitudes of parties divided on language basis is shown here. The symbolical aspects of the function of the king are analyzed through different forms of king's activities towards the public, his contacts with Belgian citizens and various surveys studying the attitude of Belgians towards the monarchy. The contacts between the king and the public are important for his unifying potential. However, as it is emphasized in this work, his action is efficient only together with other factors preventing the disintegration. The king is thus considered...

Does the probability to herd decrease when decisions are of higher importance? Experimental Approach
Kočová, Alžběta ; Cingl, Lubomír (advisor) ; Maršál, Aleš (referee)
In this thesis I study the effect of decision importance on propensity to engage in herding behaviour and what is bounded rational, optimal, utility maximizing strategy for agents. In the beginning, prior literature on herding behaviour and decision importance is reviewed. The only research connecting these two issues was done in psychology. Therefore a comparison and critique of psychological research versus experimental economics is provided in the methodological part. The main part of this thesis is designing an experiment aimed at differentiation of the propensity to engage in herding behaviour with respect to the importance of the decisions being made. People decide in a cascade among two option according to signals obtained. Eight different treatments are run, each with different size of monetary reward as a motivation. Everyone gets two signals, one private and one public. In situations when these signals are contradictory and of the same informativeness, decisions are measured and compared among treatments. Main hypothesis is that people are less likely to be influenced by other people's decisions as the task importance rises. Also data analysis is outlined.

Je zaměřena na zjištění toho, zda mají hodnoty v dnešních školách své místo, zda jim je věnována ze strany učitelů pozornost, zda se učitelé snaží ovlivňovat své žáky ve smýšlení a vést je k poznání životních priorit. V práci se zamýšlíme nad otázkami síly vlivu rodiny na hodnotové smýšlení dětí a možnosti pedagogů ovlivnit své žáky. Ptáme se, zda si pedagogové myslí, že téma hodnot patří do pedagogiky a je-li vůbec v kompetenci školy a pedagogických pracovníků do takto soukromé oblasti zasahovat, a pokud ano, do jaké míry? Disertační práce je rozdělena na teoretickou a empirickou část. V empirické části se seznámíme s výsledky našeho výzkumu, ke kterému byla použita metoda...
