Using of Monistic and dualistic board structure of capital companies in Czech republic
ZIMMERMANNOVÁ, Anežka
The bachelor thesis investigates the difference between the capital companies in the Czech Republic which are using the monistic and dualistic board structure. The first part of this work focuses on the capital companies and on these two systems of controlling capital companies. The main purpose of this work is to find, which companies are using the monistic board structure and find the differences between them and companies, which are using the dualistic board structure. These two groups are compared and there are found basic features of these groups. The monistic companies are smaller, they have got lower values in annual account. There are used data about private limited companies found in Albertina database. These data were adjusted, so they can be further used for selected statistical methods. There were used descriptive statistics to describe selected sample of companies. Another method was factor analysis. It shows factors that have influence on data. After that cluster analysis was used. At first the hierarchical clustering, than method k-means. The clusters help to find common characteristics companies which are using the monistic or dualistic board structure.

On the diversity of value orientations in actors' life
Shejbal, Antonín ; Buriánek, Jiří (advisor) ; Vinopal, Jiří (referee)
This thesis deals with the topic of value and value orientations in the society. The first part of the thesis is the introduction to the issue of values from sociological perspective, and to issue of empirical measurement of values as well. Subsequently the thesis core is own empirical analysis of the data from Aktér surveys, which were carried out in the Czech Republic in 2005, 2007 and 2012. The research intention was to create typology of respondents on the basis of their various value orientations. For this purpose, a battery of questions was used, which was repeatedly asked in the questionnaires in the Aktér surveys. This set of items measured values and life strategies of respondents on the five-point scales. Multidimensional statistical techniques, such as explorative factor analysis and cluster analysis, were employed to the typology-making process. The outcome of this thesis is the presentation of created respondent types (clusters), their identification on the basis of sociodemographic variables and the indication of the typology transformation in the process of time.

HDO Raman spectrum
Šubr, Martin ; Štěpánek, Josef (advisor) ; Procházka, Marek (referee)
Title: HDO Raman spectrum Author: Martin Šubr Department: Institute of Physics of Charles University Supervisor: Prof. RNDr. Josef Štěpánek, CSc., Institute of Physics of Charles University Abstract: The main aim of this thesis is to determine the HDO Raman spectrum. This spectrum cannot be measured separately in its liquid form, but it is possible to obtain it by a specific mathematical processing of sets of measured spectra with different H/D ratios. In this work we measured Raman spectra of liquid water with different mole fractions of water and heavy water, which were evaluated by factor analysis. Except for well-known spectra of water and heavy water, spectrum of HDO was determined. For fitting of this spectrum and its analysis, model with equilibrium constant and linear correction of the spectral shape with respect to the relative ratio of D was used. Keywords: Raman scattering, water and heavy water, HDO, factor analysis

Self-harm in children
Tvrdoňová, Anna ; Procházková, Jana (advisor) ; Sotáková, Hana (referee)
Title: Self-harm in children Abstract This thesis deals with the topic of self-injury of adolescents. Its goal is to analyze the adolescents' view of self-injury, how the youth themselves define self-injury and what they perceive to be self-injurious behavior. The work is divided into two core parts. The first section focuses on the definition of the self-injury and reviews both current Czech and international literature. Particular attention is devoted to the inconsistent terminology, definitions and presentation of the recent classification system of self- injury. The second part is devoted to the research of explorative character. The data have been collected through a survey using anonymous self report questionnaire from 73 pupils between the ages of 13-15 and they were analysed using categorization and the method of factor and cluster analysis. Factor analysis extracted ten factors which served as the meaningful units and can be interpreted as adolescents' viewpoints of self- injury. Findings suggest the adolescents consider not only direct destruction of one's own body as example self-injury but also behavior that indirectly leads to negative health outcomes (eating disorders, smoking, abuse of alcohol). Interestingly, the youth reported ambivalent viewpoint of self-injury. They reported not only the...

Drop coating deposition Raman spectroscopy of liposomes with different compositions
Antalík, Andrej ; Kočišová, Eva (advisor) ; Holoubek, Aleš (referee)
Method of drop-coating deposition Raman spectroscopy is a special tech- nique that employs deposition of a small droplet of the sample on a hydro- phobic surface with subsequent solvent removal by evaporation. As a result the concentrated material forms a ring at the edge of the droplet. This techni- que has proven to be efficient for liposome studies at low concentrations. We focused on a study of spectral changes and ring formation in phosphatidylcho- line liposomes due to increasing amount of cholesterol. Higher concentration of cholesterol didn't cause significant changes in membrane structure, such as phase transition, however the ring wasn't formed. Second part of this bache- lor thesis concerns with the search for some alternative surface to previously used SpectRIM TM DCDR plates made by Tienta Sciences, Inc. which are no longer available. The polished calcium fluoride glass (CaF2) seems to be the most suitable for the further use from all tested surfaces. Raman signal at the other surfaces was either weak or spectral bands that don't belong to lipid were observed.

Improved determination of DNA duplex stability by using UV spectroscopy
Víšová, Ivana ; Štěpánek, Josef (advisor) ; Kočišová, Eva (referee)
This work deals with determination of thermodynamic parameters concerning the temperature induced decomposition of DNA duplexes. Precise temperature dependences of solution UV absorption spectra have been measured for several concentrations. Proposals and tests of various data analysis procedures, with aim to find out optimal way how to determine the thermodynamic potentials changes, represent the core of the work. It has been demonstrated that the combination of a factor analysis and a fit of thermodynamic equations to temperature dependences of obtained coefficient values, enables these parameters to be obtained from a measurement performed for only one concentration and with better precision than by using the so far recommended method based on a melting temperature determination for several concentrations.

About identification of motor predispositions in triathlon
Kovářová, Lenka ; Bunc, Václav (advisor) ; Čepička, Ladislav (referee) ; Zháněl, Jiří (referee)
Title: About identification of motor predispositions in triathlon Aims: The aim of our study was to find and verify appropriate indicators predicting the on-coming performance in a short triathlon and determine their level for the junior category. Methods: In our study, we combined quantitative and qualitative approaches with a predominance of quantitative methods. In the first phase of the research, we used quantitative methods, confirmatory factor analysis for verification of models of predispositions and elaboration of performance standards for individual tests by means of T-points. In the second part of the research, we used the qualitative method (casuistic studies) to validate the test battery and its application in practice. Results: We have compiled a structural model of motor predispositions for short triathlon, which explained 91% of all cross-correlations of seventeen used indicators. Predispositions for triathlon were categorized into five separate groups; for swimming, cycling and running (i.e. according to individual disciplines), and functional and psychological predispositions. Finding a lower limit boundary of performance in the completed tests is considered to be the most important issue for the assessment of future performance in triathlon. As a lower limit we have set the zone...

Safe Harbour Concept in Transfer Pricing
Kolář, Michal ; Heřman, Jan (advisor) ; Dvořáček, Jiří (referee) ; Kapoun, Vítězslav (referee)
Tax administrations worldwide provide taxpayers with favour and offer them the opportunity to set up transfer pricing system according to pre-agreed criteria. When taxpayer´s system complies with, a tax administrator does not dispute the transaction. Any predefined arrangement leading to the recognition of transfer pricing system by the tax administrator can be defined as a safe harbour. It was found out during the review process of current sources, that there is no relevant research available focused on assessing the appropriateness of introducing safe harbour system for both businesses and government. At the same time, even the OECD does not work with data that would conclusively prove the impact of transfer pricing regulation on companies´ behaviour. For this reason, a research was conducted in this area with focus on the potential of safe harbour to affect tax contributions of enterprises. Financial data were rendered from Amadeus database. The impact of safe harbour system was observed on the time series development of taxation of particular cluster. Cluster analysis was selected as the most suitable method for grouping companies.

Analysis of the Quality of life using cluster analysis and comparison with the Human Development Index
Pánková, Barbara ; Miskolczi, Martina (advisor) ; Langhamrová, Jana (referee)
Nowadays quality of life is often discussed topic. In defining this term, there is considerable ambiguity and disunity, since there is no universally accepted definition, nor theoretically sophisticated model. However, despite this fact, the level of quality of life is currently one of the most discussed topic. Monitoring the quality of life by using a variety of indicators are engaged in several international organizations, one of them is the Development Programme of the United Nations. This organization annually publishes the Human Development Index, which divides the world´s countries into four groups according to their level of development: low, medium, high and very high development. The aim of this thesis is to analyze the quality of life in 125 countries by using cluster analysis, accurately the Ward's method. Quality of life in this thesis is evaluated based on 19 demographic and economic indicators, which include life expectancy, literacy rate, access to drinking water and infant mortality rate. The cluster analysis divided the country into individual clusters by their similarities. Six clusters were created by this analysis, which had been compared with the results of Human Development Index. The clusters very well reflect the division, which is commonly used in the characterization of developing and developed countries. Each of the six clusters can be very well described and characterized in terms of quality of life. It is also possible qualify those clusters as poorest developing, low developed, moderately developed, medium development, high and very high development countries. Based on the results it can be stated that this analysis is consistent with other indicators of quality of life and the resulting clusters are identical with the division of countries which is commonly used.
