Analysis of stock market anomalies: US cross-sectoral comparison
Jílek, Lukáš ; Krištoufek, Ladislav (advisor) ; Šopov, Boril (referee)
The purpose of this thesis is to analyze anomalies in the US stock market. Special attention is put on Day of the week effect, January effect, and Part of the month effect. We focus on comparison of companies with low and high capitalization. We perform an analysis across 6 major industrial sectors. Then, we discuss the findings with results of past projects and finally, we try to find a speculative investment strategy. We found out that neither Day of the week effect nor January effect do not appear in US stock market nowadays. Part of the month effect was the only anomaly, which was observed in our data. Keywords Stock market anomalies, financial markets, cross-sectoral analysis, Jannuary effect, Day of the week effect, Part of the month effect Author's e-mail jileklukas@gmail.com Supervisor's e-mail kristoufek@gmail.com

Jílek, Lukáš ; Ločárek, Miroslav (advisor) ; Cahlíková, Lucie (referee)
Jílek L.: The biological activity of secondary plants metabolites II. Alkaloids of Narcissus jonquilla L. Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové, Department of Pharmaceutical Botany and Ecology, Hradec Králové 2015, pp. 74. The aim of the diploma thesis was a preparation of alkaloid extracts to identification of alkaloid patterns and measure cholinesterase inhibitory activity. This activity is useful for treating Alzheimer's disease. Alkaloid extracts of seven Narcissus jonquilla L. (Amaryllidaceae) varieties (Bella Estrella, Bell Song, Fruit Cup, Hill Star, Chit Chat, Martinette, Dick Sickel) were studied with respect to their acetylcholinesterase (HuAChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (HuBuChE) inhibitory activity and alkaloid patterns. Thirteen different alkaloids were identified from their mass spectra and retention times. All samples exhibited content of tazettine, most samples contained lycoramine and galanthamine. Promising HuAChE inhibition activity was demonstrated by Narcissus jonquilla L. cv. Bell Song with IC50 values of 6,19 ± 0,85 μg/mL. The strongest inhibitory activity against HuBuChE was detected in extract from Narcissus jonquilla L. cv. Bella Estrella with IC50 value of 18,39 ± 1,51 μg/mL. Keywords: Alzheimer's disease, Amaryllidaceae, Narcissus, GC/MS,...
