This master’s thesis is dealing with problems of XML data compression. It describes a characterization and important concepts of XML language as well as AIXM as XML data format. It documents contemporary compression methods of XML and divides them into appropriate groups. Thereinafter a testing of XML data compression using mentioned methods and evaluation of results is implemented. With a consideration of processed data there is created and presented an application which enables lossy and lossless compression of AIXM with the help of particular elements data analysis. All of it with user selection options of AIXM objects and way of resultant compression.

The issue of evacuation of people with disabilities
KOVÁČ, David
The aim of social services is the creation of conditions for satisfying people's basic needs, through support and assistance in dealing with the care of disabled people. The feeling of home creates a personal relationship. It is not just about facilities or a roof over one's head, but especially about kind and friendly staff of social facilities. The theme of the thesis is focused on the issue of evacuation of disabled persons in selected facilities. For this purpose, the research part of the work is dedicated to facilities providing social services in the South Bohemian Region, where there are staying people with different kinds and degrees of disability for most of the day time. These facilities include: homes for the elderly, special regime homes, homes for people with disabilities, respite care, weekly care centers, sheltered housing and social rehabilitation. Disabled people, in case of evacuation, are dependent on the help of others, in particular nursing staff, and on the activities of the Integrated Rescue System (IRS). This places high demands on the readiness of social facilities and personnel itself in terms of evacuation. The thesis deals with the readiness of the aforementioned social facilities for emergencies, with special emphasis on the evacuation of users living in these facilities. In the theoretical part, the issues of evacuation and ways of its division are discussed in several respects, i.e. in terms of duration, the selected solution, the method of implementation, measure extent and in terms of choice of people and in terms of danger to people. Because attention of the thesis is focused on the buildings in which persons with disabilities are grouped, building evacuation as such was described in more detail in the thesis. A substantial, and even to a considerable extent extensive, chapter talks about a description of social care services, of which I chose only those that have the form of buildings where disabled people stay. Then I chose those devices that provide residential form, because there arises an obligation to care for the person entrusted, and therefore the need for a response to emergence of an extraordinary event, which is in many cases inherently linked with implementing evacuation. Defined criteria for the selection of providers of social services (residential form of social services and the type of social services) corresponded to a total of 66 social facilities in the South Bohemian Region. For the purposes of the subsequent questionnaire it was interviewed 33 of them, chosen randomly, while the survey itself was attended by 30 facilities. For the sake of compact perspective of the problem it was necessary to define disability according to the Act no. 108/2006 Coll., on social services. According to this act, a disability is divided into visual, auditory, physical, mental and combined disability. Specifically, but not exhaustively, they are described in chapter 2. The aim of the thesis was to evaluate the readiness of selected social services of the region for evacuation. For this purpose, an extensive survey was carried out in selected facilities in the region. For the actual investigation, two questionnaires were created. One was intended for managers or responsible leaders of these facilities and contained 16 questions. The second was intended for staff and included 26 questions. It was divided into three blocks. The first block contained five questions that provide information about the respondent. The second block contained 16 questions, which reported on the knowledge of personnel in the area of evacuation, health and safety at work, fire protection and emergencies that may arise in the structure of the facility or its surroundings. The third block contains five questions, which focus on self-evaluation of the one interviewed. Results of the survey were, for the purpose of clarity, evaluated as graphs including their interpretation.

Identifying flip floppers: changing attitudes towards suicide bombing in the Middle East
Malečková, Jitka ; Kovač, Dejan
Existing literature on attitudes towards terrorism is mainly based on a cross sectional analysis of data, providing insights in the differences among countries. This paper examines changes in public opinion on terrorism over time, utilizing the PEW Survey data on at titudes towards suicide bombing in the Middle East (specifically Egypt and Pakistan) from 2004 to 2011. Give n the lack of panel data, it uses the Markov chain methodology to compare changes in the distribution of people who approve of terrorism in order to identify specific demograp hic groups within a country that have a higher probability of switching between approval and disapproval of suicide bombing. Predicting future evolutio n of terror ism approval helps to identify outliers in the data. Year to year country level changes in approval of terrorism are divided into different subgroups to investigate whether the change is on aggregate level for the whole country or whether specific demograp hic groups are triggering the changes. The results of this research can inform policies aimed at reducing the rates of terrorism approval among specific demographic groups.
