SMV-2023-40: Characterization of sources and optical elements of coherent optics and use for commercial devices
Holá, Miroslava ; Řeřucha, Šimon ; Pravdová, Lenka ; Čížek, Martin
The contract research was focused on the characterization of the laser source. The characterization of the laser source was divided into two parts. The first part was focused on characterizing the optical frequency of the laser source for at least 100 hours with a resolution better than 100kHz. The second part concerned the zero-drift characterization of a common-path differential interferometer. It was a measurement of interference phase fluctuations during the reflection of interferometer arm beams on a common mirror (zero-drift) lasting at least 100 hours with a resolution better than 1 nm for a pair of differential interferometers with simultaneous measurement of atmospheric parameters.

Pathways to a just landscape transformation
Nohlová, Barbora ; Sagapová, Nikola ; Harmáčková, Veronika Zuzana
The Just Scapes project was officially launched in 2020 and is a consortium of three countries (UK, France and Czech Republic) researching three types of landscape: the Scottish Highlands, the French rural landscape of the south-eastern Pyrenees and the Czech cultural landscape of southern and eastern Moravia. The project focuses primarily on the mechanisms and processes of equitable transformation and answers the following questions, crucial for the future: How are the impacts of climate change distributed? How are impacts and effects distributed?\nof landscape management and climate change policies? The research was based on the approach of the so-called ,,just transformation laboratories,, (T-labs). This approach is specifically tailored to foster collaborative solutions to complex societal problems. The research also included extensive field visits and engagement with relevant key actors. Numerous interviews and workshops were also conducted. This text is the result of a long-term research collaboration with key actors managing the landscape in five wine and agricultural regions of South and East Moravia. The research focused on mechanisms of equitable transformation. If the current state of the landscape leads to its vulnerability to the impacts of climate change, it is necessary to ask what changes are needed to increase its resilience. And this is exactly what the project has succeeded in defining.

SMV-2023-09: Design and deposition of thin film optical coatings
Pokorný, Pavel ; Oulehla, Jindřich
A study of the possibilities of optical filters production. The optical properties of the filters must comply with those required by the customer. Theoretical calculations are verified by depositing a series of samples by means of electron beam evaporation. In particular, low pass and high pass filters, dichroic mirrors, spectral transmittance correcting filters, antireflective coatings and beam splitters for various angles of incidence will be tested.

Precarity as a real experience of the self-employed and micro-enterprises
Marková Volejníčková, Romana ; Lukeš, M. ; Maříková, Hana ; Zouhar, J. ; Švarcová, Markéta ; Orel, M. ; Dvouletý, O.
The research report summarises the results of the project's activities.Namely, four expert studies focusing on platform and family entrepreneurship, start-ups and coworking. The report includes findings from a quantitative survey of self-employed and micro-entrepreneurs (up to 10 employees) and a survey focused on business start-ups and new forms of entrepreneurship. It also presents findings from two qualitative research focusing on micro-entrepreneurs' strategies for securing themselves during periods of income loss from their business in times of sickness and on low-income self-employed and their strategies for sustaining their business, e.g. during a pandemic of covid 19. Together, the sections of the report thus form a complex mosaic that reflects the precarious specificities of the self-employed and micro-entrepreneurs and points to their impacts.

Financial management and financial satisfaction in Czech households
Fialová, Kamila ; Mysíková, Martina
Household financial management is a complex process in which a variety of factors play a role in influencing household financial health. These factors are primarily the level of household income and expenditure, including the way in which housing is provided, household size and structure, education and financial literacy. An important aspect of household management is the balance of the budget, which is based on the distribution of financial resources between recurrent expenditure covering basic needs, more luxurious and irregular expenditure, and possibly also savings. Budget balance affects the financial stability of a household and its future prospects. In the case of households with more members, the distribution of income within the household can be another important aspect, which can affect not only the financial well-being of individual members but also have wider implications. \nInternationally comparable Eurostat data for 2018 show that Czechs have an average level of financial satisfaction among European nations. On a scale of 0 to 10, Czechs on average rated their financial satisfaction as 6.7, while the European average was 6.6. Czech men (6.8) were slightly more satisfied than women (6.6). Since 2013, the data showed a significant increase in the financial satisfaction of Czech households from an average rating of 6.0. \nData from the 2023 IPSOS sample survey rate the financial satisfaction of Czechs as 5.5 on average (on the same scale from 0 to 10), with men again more satisfied (5.7) than women (5.3). Roughly one-third of respondents are very or rather dissatisfied with their financial situation (0-4), while more than half of respondents are rather or very satisfied with their financial situation (6-10).\nThe results of the regression analysis show that demographic characteristics such as gender, age, education or presence of children do not affect financial satisfaction. In general, people living with a spouse/partner and single individuals are more satisfied with their financial situation than those divorced and widowed. \nThe key factors influencing financial satisfaction are the amount of household income and how they manage it, as well as the accumulation of short-term or long-term financial reserves. Paying a mortgage or rent does not significantly reduce financial satisfaction. Repaying loans significantly reduces financial satisfaction for women living as a couple.\n

Opportunities and limits of socially and environmentally sustainable participatory housing in the Czech Republic
Orcígr, V. ; Kodenko Kubala, Petr ; Malý Blažek, J. ; Hoření Samec, Tomáš ; Kubcová, J. ; Káňová, M. ; Tichý, D. ; Kohout, M. ; Vinklárková, A. ; Houser, L. ; Suchánek, R. ; Petrus, E. ; Galčanová, L.
The research report summarises three years of research of opportunities and limits of participatory housing in the Czech Republic, based on an analysis of the situation abroad, the historical context and the institutional background in the Czech Republic. In the second part we present the results of field research - data analysis from research workshops in partner cities and from an exploratory questionnaire. We present findings on residents' preferences on participation issues, confidence in implementing participatory housing projects, funding issues, governance, barriers or challenges. In the final section, we summarise the opportunities and limitations for participatory housing arising from the cooperation between residents and cities.
