Explanatory factors of consumer behaviour: the survey of organic food consumers conducted on sample of inhabitants of Prague and Znojmo district
Zvěřinová, Iva ; Buriánek, Jiří (advisor) ; Vlček, Josef (referee)
Production, processing, transport and consumption of food form a significant part of the environmental burden. Organic farming and organic food production represent for many experts, policymakers and for a part of lay public a way to reduce the environmental burden. The volume of organic food production hinges on, among others, the willingness of consumers to prefer organic food to conventional food and also to change consumer behaviour. Although organic food consumer and purchase behaviour is sometimes found to be environmentally motivated, health motives are prevailing in many developed countries. Recently, organic food consumption has grown significantly in developed countries. The diploma thesis is for these reasons aimed at analysis of motivational factors and barriers that affect consumer's purchase decision-making related to organic food. First, the overview of scientific literature concerning organic food consumption behaviour is presented. Factors that explain it can be divided into four major types: attitudinal variables, contextual forces, personal capabilities and habits. In the diploma thesis, we focus on risk perception, which can be classified as the attitudinal variable. Considering the perception of health and environmental risks, it is important to point out that manufactured...

More time or more money? Predictors of the length of working hours in the European Union
Lehmann, Štěpánka ; Vlček, Josef (advisor) ; Havlík, Radomír (referee) ; Kuchař, Pavel (referee)
Štěpánka Lehmann: More time or more money? Predictors of the length of working hours in the European Union Dissertation thesis Abstract Present empirical study analyses important predictors of the length of working hours. It aims at integrating existing conceptions via an approach that would synthetize findings on the influence of different factors of the length of working hours at various levels into a consistent and complex model. For these purposes it uses explorative analytical methods applied on data from the European Working Conditions Survey (EWCS). The thesis is based on two assumptions. First, it is more appropriate to study the length of working hours on the basis of its distribution than based on the average number of working hours. Second, the specific working hours are being established simultaneously at four different levels, the mechanisms of which need to be understood: at the national, sectoral and professional, establishment and household levels. The analysis performed revealed the most important predictors of the length of working hours and their mutual ties. The integration of predictors that are effective at the individual levels resulted in a model which reflects the identified relevant factors when analysing patterns of the length of working hours. The complexity of the working time...

Quality in additional vocational education
Stejskalová, Eva ; Vlček, Josef (referee) ; Mužík, Jaroslav (referee)
A crucial source of capital and the source of economy have become an information and knowledge and their use. It changed the nature of work and labor and the importance of learning and teaching and also a sense of knowledge and its transmission, and brought changes in social, demographic and institutional sphere. The ability to use information (knowledge) and quality of products and services, undermined the quality of processes and the quality of people in the organization, decide on its success. A quality management system (QMS) forms a part of the organization's management. There are various QMS systems. Quality management is a dynamic process that constantly changes and develops in terms of forms, methods and content. Specific QMS types can be attributed to one of three basic concepts: industrial standards, TQM (Total Quality Management), and the ISO concept. Various approaches to quality management began to develop in the 1920s. After World War II, the issues of quality gain priority particularly in Japan and the USA, followed by Europe. At that time the first true quality management systems were established. Their significance and development rapidly grew mainly in the 1980s, when quality began to be considered a key prerequisite to success and future competitiveness. Presently, two systems are...

Controversy over the nature of capital
Hartmann, Zdeněk ; Vlček, Josef (advisor) ; Skovajsa, Marek (referee)
This thesis attempts to provide a brief summary of phase one of the Cambridge Capital Controversies and then analyse its treatment in the economic journal Politická ekonomie in state-socialist Czechoslovakia between 1953 and 1970. Neoclassical economics seems to have penetrated the (nominally Marxist) journal, through the mathematical apparatus used in linear programming and the methods applied by some economists in friendly socialist countries (Poland and the USSR), in the connection with political easing and the need to address practical problems in the Czechoslovak economy in the 1960s. In this context there appeared articles on growth theory, the first papers using the aggregate production function and also the first critical reflections on this tool (including summaries of Joan Robinson's growth theory, the translation of an essay written by Robinson herself and a detailed analysis of the consequences of the Cambridge Capital Controversies penned by Antonín Kotulan). Czechoslovak economists in the second half of the 1960s seem to have been very well aware of the developments in Western economics as well as of the problematic assumptions of neoclassical value theory. However, they tended to ignore the problems associated with neoclassical theory, as they appear to have perceived it as providing...

The Economic Situation of Single Mothers
Kalačová, Michaela ; Vlček, Josef (advisor) ; Dudová, Radka (referee)
Approximately 250 thousand single-parent families, mostly mothers as principal breadwinners, are currently living in the Czech Republic. The insufficient financial security means an important limitation of these families, partly caused by the worsened situation of single mothers at the job market. The aim of this bachelor's thesis was to find out what the financial situation of single-parent families in the Czech Republic was in 2018. I took advantage the official statistics of the Czech Statistical Office and the Czech Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs, which enabled me to carry out a secondary data analysis and find out what the economic situation was in single-mother families in 2018 and how it evolved since 2008. I compared the data with the data on nuclear family, which made me more comprehensive picture about the economic situation of single-mother families, which has improved over the years 2008 - 2018. Keywords: economic situation, single-parent families, single-mother, incomes, expenses, the Czech Republic

Value of education - Cost Benefit Analysis of Methodic "Good Start"
Bílková, Hana ; Sieber, Martina (advisor) ; Vlček, Josef (referee)
The thesis is about evaluating of an investment using Cost Benefit Analysis. The investment that is evaluated in this thesis educational intervention in pre-school education. The evaluation is ex ante. The thesis is divided into three thematic units. In the first part, it deals with the theoretical aspects of CBA, i.e., the description of the analysis and its basic principles. The second part is devoted to methodology, first focusing on the concept of shadow prices, then specific methods for evaluating the investment as such. In the third part the educational methodology itself is evaluated. Cost and benefits are determined where the benefits are determined using a shadow price determined based on the market price method. Based on the result of CBA, it can be said that the value of the intervention is positive. Since there is no normal use od paid educational establishments in our territory, a second value of education is set, which corresponds more to the real social value. With such an education values, the value of the intervention is negative.

Automatic processing of microseismic data and their relation to the hydraulic injection
Vlček, Josef ; Fischer, Tomáš (advisor) ; Plicka, Vladimír (referee) ; Růžek, Bohuslav (referee)
Microseismic monitoring is an integral part of scientific experiments or industrial operations associated with the hydraulic fracturing of bedrock, which is an effort to increase the permeability of rocks in the area and improve the exploitation, whether of heat, oil or natural gas. Monitoring of such newly formed or growing original fractures, usually followed by seismic events, is very important for observation and describing the hydraulic fracturing itself and its progress over time. Since the number of such events recorded is usually very high, classical methods of earthquake processing, where the arrival times of seismic waves are determined manually, seem to be very inappropriate. For this reason, automatic methods are used to process such datasets, which do not require manual determination of the arrival times of the seismic waves. In our case, the data were recorded by a dense network of surface receivers arranged in the shape of a ten-arm star. It was a total of more than nine hundred groups of vertical geophones, of which more than a quarter were also supplemented by a three-component seismic sensor. We then created an automatic procedure for the described network, the result of which is the determination of the location and the source mechanism for each seismic event. The recorded...
