Cogeneration influence on power industry and power market in Czech Republic
Dudáš, Michal ; Cerman, Marek (referee) ; Macháček, Jan (advisor)
The main goal of this master’s thesis is to find out the impact of future development in combined heat and power technologies, especially the impact on power market in Czech Republic regarding to historical development of photovoltaics and subsidy policy. There are three scenarios of installed power growth designed including calculations of renewable energy source financial fee as well as overall evaluation. The paper also deals with current status of combined heat and power technologies in Czech Republic, European Union and USA as well as legislature framework of CHP in Czech Republic and EU. There are also kinds of state grants described. In economical part of the paper there are NPV’s of particular cogeneration units calculated. The calculations were made both with current investment costs and reduced investment costs.

Economic aspects use of energy of photovoltaic plant
Cerman, Marek ; Procházka, Jiří (referee) ; Macháček, Jan (advisor)
The major topic of this master‘s thesis is to create a complex model of general photovoltaic power plant (PVP). First chapters are engaged in research of photovoltaic. Growth of globally installed power and analysis of situation in Czech Republic are described in this section. The spectrum of conditions is introduced, from current legislative framework up to local Sun radiation. The actual technologies and their advantages are depicted, especially rate of utilization of energy. Expected trends of future development of conversion efficiency are mentioned, with prediction of production costs of photovoltaic. In context with those aspects, the question of grid parity achievement arises. The own assembled model of photovoltaic power plant has been created in Microsoft Excel. The mathematical apparatus is described in a separate chapter, individually solving technical part, which main result – the amount of yearly generated electricity, is applied for economical calculation. Final results are the usual economic indicators, mainly: Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE). There is series of aspects defined by user in the model which may impact the amount of produced electricity and economics of user’s project, such as use of loan, replacement of converters, operational costs etc. These aspects are frequently neglected by project sellers. In the end, intended photovoltaic power plants of 2.75 kWp and 28.98 kWp are simulated by the model in real conditions of 2013. Sensitivity of impact of both proposals to the aspects mentioned above has been analyzed. In the conclusion the achieved results are summarized and the key factors which determine the PVP’s economic efficiency are assessed.

The Utility of Spatial Navigation and Metabolic Biomarkers in Early and Differential Diagnosis of Neurodegenerative Diseases
Cerman, Jiří ; Laczó, Jan (advisor) ; Roth, Jan (referee) ; Kopeček, Miloslav (referee)
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disease leading to dementia and represents a significant socio-economic problem. Currently, only symptomatic treatment of AD is possible and the development of new causal therapy faces a number of difficulties, which are inter alia related to identifying early stages and the possibilities of differential diagnosis of specific neurodegenerative diseases. Therefore, in recent years, methods that are easily available and able to reliably identify individuals at risk of developing AD already at preclinical and prodromal stages are of particular interest. The work presents a basic overview of the current knowledge about neurodegenerative diseases and especially AD and extends the knowledge in this area. The main goals of the thesis are to map out the potential contribution of spatial navigation testing as a new experimental method, which is suitable for early diagnosis and differential diagnosis of advanced stages of neurodegenerative diseases, and to evaluate the benefits of metabolic biomarker testing in clinical practice. In the early stages of neurodegenerative diseases, the work focuses primarily on the evaluation of impairment of a specific type of spatial navigation - path integration in patients with AD and also on subjective spatial...

Modelling and Optimization of Processes at an Operational Level
Cerman, Tomáš ; Voráček, Jan (advisor) ; Černohorský, Petr (referee)
Theses is devided into two parts, the first one is dealing with theory the other one with practical exercise. There is basic terminology set in the first part, focusing mainly on process management and methodologies leading the current evolution in that respect, Lean and Six Sigma. I also refer about tools for mapping the processes and devote a section to theory of queues which is a main subject for modelling in the practical part. I have not omitted to mention axioms for modeling itself. Practical part comes from job experience I had. Main goal is to set up a model simulation based on the main features of the process structure, involve main principles of mentioned methodologies and to discuss the results simulation brings.

Formalization of Team Creation
Cerman, Tomáš ; Voráček, Jan (advisor) ; Stejskalová, Irena (referee)
This paper is divided to practical and theoretical part. Theoretical part defines essential background of personality and work psychology which are pillars for using the personality and roles typology in practical part. I also define conceptions such as group, team, procedures of making the team. Practical part is focused at making the repertoary grid which outlines proximity of team roles, anchored in the repertoary grids upon personal atributes basis and picked team positions.
