Analysis of the Advantages and Disadvantages of the Euro Adoption
Fábera, Luboš ; Bartošová, Jitka (advisor) ; Bína, Vladislav (referee)
The main objective of the Masters thesis is the identification of advantages and disadvantages of the Euro currency adoption. The analysis is focused on the differences in development of the individual economic indicators before and after joining the eurozone as well as the European Union as an entity. The economic indicators used are in the form of gross domestic product, inflation rate, foreign direct investment, long term interest rate and international business trade. For the analysis itself, a vast variety of methods has been utilised within both Microsoft Excel and SAS Enterprise Guide. The analytic results do cover the required content and points to fulfil the main aims and objectives of the thesis and can thus be used as a baseline for the most common theoretic arguments for and against the euro adoption.

Real Convergence of Economies and their Disruption of Economic Crisis
Janeček, Michal ; Bartošová, Jitka (advisor)
The bachelor thesis examines the impact of the economic crisis on the real convergence of the Czech Republic and the other states of the Visegrad Group towards the states of the European Union. The beta and sigma convergence methods were used to determine whether real convergence was taking place. For these purposes, three models were created, all EU members without the excluded Ireland and Luxembourg due to their extreme values (EU-26), the Czech Republic and the original EU member (EU-13) and the Visegrad Group and EU-13. Each model was further divided into pre-crisis and post-crisis periods. In the pre-crisis period beta-convergence was demonstrated in the EU-26 group, V4 and EU-13 group and sigma-convergence was demonstrated in the EU-26 group. In all other cases, the result of the analysis was ambiguous. After the crisis, the results of the analyses in all groups were ambiguous.

Woman on The Labour Market in the Situation of the Mother
Jakešová, Michaela ; Bartošová, Jitka (advisor) ; Váchová, Lucie (referee)
Human society is dependent on women who ensure their sustainability in the role of mothers. At the same time women participate in the economic prosperity of the family and society. The combination of these two roles puts them at a disadvantage in the labour market. This thesis aims at analyzing the current situation of women from the point of view of motherhood and position on the labour market. The theoretical part deals with two primary areas including social policy and the labour market. Social policy gives information about family policy and state support to mothers in comparison with other countries. The practical part, which is based on methodology, is dedicated to the analysis of the current situation of women and is divided according to the origin of the data. The secondary data were obtained from the public statistical database and the primary one through the questionnaire survey. The outcome of the work reveals significant factors influencing the age at which women have their first child, the dependence between parental leave income, the length of parental leave, and other answers to the research questions.

Analysis of social situations depending on the level of transfers and other factors
Harudová, Jana ; Bartošová, Jitka (advisor) ; Bína, Vladislav (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with the social policies of the European Union and with poverty. Social policies are divided into five social models, based on basic typologies. Individual social models are characterized separately and the claims are supported by appropriate economic indicators. The practical part builds on these theoretical foundations and examines the dependence of variables and social models. Based on the indicators of poverty, the social situation of the individual states of the European Union is defined. Dependencies were created using indicators of poverty and economic variables. A generalized linear model was designed to determine the dependence of the social situation in the EU based on selected factors.

Maternal investment and reproductive strategy in domestic horses
Komárková, Martina ; Bartošová, Jitka (advisor) ; Šumbera, Radim (referee) ; Vlček, Kamil (referee)
The aim of my doctoral thesis is the detailed study of the behavioural and sociobiological principles associated with the period of lactation. Suckling data covering almost 80 foals of domestic horse (Equus caballus) was obtained within four years of observation in the National Stud in Kladruby nad Labem, Czech Republic. The data were evaluated together with the reproductive history of the mothers, their agonistic interactions and following analysis of the dominance position of subadult foals. The first study describes longer suckling (greater maternal care) in dominant mares compared to submissive ones. Dominant mares are also less disturbed during nursing, whereas they terminated the nursing of submissive mares more often. A possible competitive advantage for the offspring of dominant mares may arise from such behaviour. The second paper enlightens the reproductive strategy of mares facing double maternal investment; suckling of the foal and pregnancy at the same time. I found out, contrary to the expectations, that the pregnant mares neither suckled their foals less nor terminated more suckling compared to non-pregnant herdmates. They may try to compensate their suckling foal with the perspective of its early weaning due to ongoing pregnancy. In the third and fourth manuscript I studied, how...

The Maternal Nutrition during Pregnancy : Needs, Informedness and Possible Influences
Slámová, Alžběta ; Kudlová, Eva (advisor) ; Bartošová, Jitka (referee)
The issue of the nutrition of the population in the Czech Republic is a difficult one and it gets even more complicated if we are not concerning the population in general but only one part of it with specific needs, such as pregnant women. Several researches have shown that nutrition of pregnant women and fetal health may be closely connected and that the fetus could be affected by its mother's eating habits during pregnancy until the adult age. The thesis is divided into two parts. The first one, the longest, introduces theoretical findings in the field that are sometimes applicable as general principals of rational nutrition. This part of the thesis is used as a starting point for the other one, the empiric part. The empiric part contains the results of my own quantitative research based on the questionnaires inquiring about eating habits of pregnant women. One hundred fully filled-in questionnaires, containing questions about eating habits, drinking regime, nutritional supplements, nutrition knowledge of pregnant women and their sources of information, were collected. The aim of the research was to reveal typical pregnant women diet, the extent of adherence to general principles of pregnant women nutrition, an average amount of nutraceuticals taken daily and usual sources of information...

Effects of human demonstrator on horse's performance in a spatial task: Does social learning occur?
Pokorná, Miroslava ; Bartošová, Jitka (advisor) ; Fuchs, Roman (referee)
Social observational learning is one of learning abilities expected in domestic horses (Equus caballus) because of their ecological and evolutional history. However, a few studies focused on this type of learning in horses failed to provide clear evidence of observational learning and/or could not distinguished it from other types of learning. We tested interspecific observational learning abilities using the spatial task and a human demonstrator. We hypothesised that 1) horses with possibility of observing a human demonstrator will complete the task in shorter time than control horses without any demonstrator, and 2) horses observing a familiar demonstrator will carry out the task in shorter time than horses with an unfamiliar demonstrator due to established positive human - horse relationship. Twenty - four riding horses of mixed age and breed were randomly allocated to three groups per 8 and started the task either with observing a familiar demonstrator, unfamiliar demonstrator or no demonstrator (control group). Each horse was released individually at the starting point in the experimental paddock and the latency to pass the task was recorded. A horse completed the task once it walked 25 m from the starting point to the squared area (4x4 m) fenced by a tape, went into it through the entrance on the...
