Business Model Analysis of the Czech Peer-to-Peer Insurance Carrier
Doležalová, Radka ; Polák, Petr (advisor) ; Hanus, Luboš (referee)
This thesis provides comprehensive description of a new phenomenon of peer-to-peer in- surance focusing on the classification of its main tendencies. The extended overview is accompanied by the original and unique analysis of the business model of The First Club Insurance Carrier, the only Czech peer-to-peer insurance company. The suitability of the concept developed by The First Club Insurance Carrier is tested using five different scenarios derived from its competitors on the Czech insurance market. The profitability and ability to produce payable bonuses for clients in an appropriate amount as proposed by the founders of the company are considered on the ground of scenarios simulating the future development of The First Club Insurance Carrier. On the basis of the created prediction scenarios, the research concludes that the company could achieve a positive economic result in next few years. The amount of givebacks (payable bonuses) has not accomplished the expected amount of 15% of the gross earned premium but it ranges between 9% and 10% in most scenarios. This thesis offers also some requirements for more favorable outcomes (such as a better distribution of gross earned premium between reinsurance and claims expenses). The subsequent what-if analysis showed the insignific- ance of the potential...

Lenka Bernklauová Internet a autorské právo Diplomová práce, 2013 Abstract The work named Internet and Copyright focuses on issues of copyright law and its protection after genesis and huge expansion of the Internet network all over the world.

Distropine - Distributed System for Anotation of Web Pages
Kaprál, Ondrej ; Zavoral, Filip (advisor) ; Nečaský, Martin (referee)
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to design and implement peer-to-peer version of a service for commenting of internet resources. From a functional point of view it is an implementation of P2P discussion forum. We attempt to achieve the highest possible degree of decentralization while meeting these requirements: usage of distributed hash table to store data content and deployment of user identity concept while protecting this identity against theft. In the analysis we came to realize that in the environment where users do not establish any bindings and content distribution is broadcast in nature there is need for globally trusted authority. For this reason it is deployed PKI with certication authority (CA). Our pursuit of maximum decentralization is reached by multiple measures in the design of the application. We allowed simultaneous operation of multiple CA instances, we have also minimized the power of CA to monitor user activities or to censor the content of the system. User interface of the software is integrated into web browser what helps us to shield user from complexity caused by P2P design.

CHARLES UNIVERSITY IN PRAGUE Faculty of Law Institute of Copyright, Industrial Property Rights and Competition Law DOCTORAL DISSERTATION The Evolution and the Limits of the Copyright Protection in the Global Information Society ABSTRACT Author: Mgr. Alena Andruško Supervisor: Prof. JUDr. Dr. iur. h. c. Jan Kříž, CSc. Field of Study: Civil Law Theoretical Legal Science Year: 2015 ABSTRACT Copyright law is one of the branches of law that has become, with the development of the Internet, the center of interest for different types of stakeholders in the global information society. With the evolution of "Web 2.0", sometimes called the "Participative Web", represented by user-generated content (UGC), and also with the evolution of peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing and recently cyberlockers, the effectiveness of copyright protection online has become a problem where solutions can be found only with difficulty. Online copyright infringement is a complex phenomenon with a multiplicity of contributing factors. To see and understand these factors one must not only know and understand the territorial and international legal rules governing copyright, but also know and understand the online ecosystem in which copyright infringement takes place, which is impossible without knowing the history, evolution and technical...

Synchronization and Backup of Data under Android OS
Karmazín, Jaromír ; Trchalík, Roman (referee) ; Očenášek, Pavel (advisor)
Tato práce zkoumá existující synchronizační aplikace a další nástroje vhodné pro tvorbu synchronizačního nástroje, z nichž následně vybírá vhodné metody pro tvorbu nového nástroje pro operační systém Android. Vytvořený nástroj je schopen synchronizovat uživatelské soubory v peer-to-peer sítích nad IPv4 i IPv6, přičemž spolupracuje s analogickými nástroji v operačních systémech Linux a Windows. Nástroj využívá sledování verzí založené na Gitu a zabezpečení komunikace pomocí TLS.
