Hanychová, Alžběta ; Beneš, Ladislav (advisor) ; Landová, Tabita (referee)
1 Summary Religion in textbooks for the second-grade elementary schools. Recently, there has been an increasing level of discussion about religion in the public space. Nonetheless, uneducated opinions are often being used. In my work, I focused on what kind of information are being passed onto pupils of primary schools, regardless of the interest of particular teacher. In the first part of my thesis, I compare basic curriculum documents (so called Whitepaper and Framework Education Program) and individual educational areas. In second part, I work with specific books of selected subjects (history, civics, ethics) that have been authorized by the Ministry of Education Youth and Sports (MEYS). I pay particular attention to how frequently, to what extent and in what context do they referrer about religion (including list of reported religions). Afterwards, I evaluate, whether they take evaluated stands, alternatively whether they encourage pupils to be interested in this area and finally whether they develop pupils' ability to look up relevant information on that subject. Keywords Religion, content analysis, textbook, Framework Educational Program, Whitepaper, prejudice, religiosity, Approval Clause, history, ethics, civics, evaluation.

The Salary Discrimination in NBA Abstract in English Discrimination is commonly investigated throughout the labor market. This empirical study investigates salary discrimination in National basketball association. In last three decades, plenty of papers concerning this behavior have been published.

We create a unique dataset based on statistics and personal qualities, both available on the official website of the league. We suggested two approaches that should capture different kinds of managers' thinking. The first approach controls for statistics from last three seasons, whereas the second approach covers all-career performance. For this study we used salaries from last five seasons with different sample in each period. As our sample is example of independently pooled cross sections, Ordinary Least Squares method can be used.
