Weighted portmanteau tests for time series analysis
Gažová, Miroslava ; Hudecová, Šárka (advisor) ; Prášková, Zuzana (referee)
This thesis introduces weighted and unweighted portmanteau tests, which are used for testing goodness-of-fit of a fitted ARMA model. ARMA models are widely used for time series analysis. The reader is presented with weighted portmanteau tests with weights based on kernel functions and with geometrically decaying weights. Next, we deal with the asymptotic distribution of test statistics in greater detail. Lastly, we present an extensive simulation study in the R programming language, which computes the statistical size and power of the considered tests. The main goal of the simulation study is a comparison of weighted variants of portmanteau tests with Box-Pierce and Ljung-Box tests. 1

System of audit procedures towards beneficiaries of subsidies under the budgetary rules
Dudák, Jan ; Boháč, Radim (advisor) ; Večeř, Miroslava (referee)
This thesis deals with the legal regulation of the procedure of providing subsidies from the state budget to beneficiaries of subsidies according to the so-called major budget rules and the system of audit of compliance with the obligations of these beneficiaries. It also deals with judicial case law, which often helps to clarify unclear or gaping legal regulations, as well as controversies that have not yet been resolved. In this respect, it also points out the potentially non-optimal solutions chosen in the legislation and the weaknesses in the current practice of the public administration internal regulations, which are not able to compensate for the missing or legislatively incomplete statutory law. Within the analysis, this thesis focuses not only on a transparent and fair process of selecting applications for subsidies, but also on the conceptual setting up of a system of audits on the disposal of subsidies by their beneficiaries. It therefore also addresses the interrelation of the individual audit bodies and the degree of interdependence of their procedures in auditing beneficiaries of subsidies, including sanctioning the beneficiaries for non-compliance detected by the audit and recovering the subsidy or part of it back to the state budget. In a number of individual aspects, which are,...

Developmental screening test of early literacy: MiniMABEL
Pustková, Martina ; Málková, Gabriela (advisor) ; Nováková Schöffelová, Miroslava (referee)
The presented master's thesis focuses on the developm ent of literacy skills in preschool children whose native language is Czech and who have no diagnosed language impairments. The overview chapters address the theoretical foundations and constructs we used for developing subtests and items for the newly developed screening tool, MiniMABEL. The methodological section includes a description of the study's design and schedule, as well as a description of the development of the test's design. This includes an initial testing of tasks on a small sample of children (N=20), based on which the tasks were revised into the analyzed test design. The research conducted on a sample of children meeting the defined parameters (N=78) addresses three research objectives. The first objective is to examine the psychometrics properties of the proposed instrument, describe typical performance, and assess the sensitivity of the tests for the proposed use. The second objective involves proposing score thresholds for identifying children at risk of impaired literacy skills development. The third objective is to provide recommendations for modifying subtests and formulate basic guidelines for further development of the test battery. The results are based on descriptive statistics, frequency and item analysis and internal...

Reflection on the concept of reproductive health education in primary education.
Scheithauerová, Lenka ; Marádová, Eva (advisor) ; Šulová, Lenka (referee) ; Kovaříková, Miroslava (referee)
The research yielded in the field fails to explain how reproductive health educa-tion has been implemented in primary schools during the 1990s, and how it ful-filled the initial expectations with which it was introduced, from the perspective of its participants. The objective of the presented dissertation is to propose further potential steps towards the advancement of this domain and to identify topics suitable for further research in the field of reproductive health education on the basis of a survey of available sources, current research and presented re-search. The project examines the issue through the perspective of respondents from two countries: the Czech Republic and Spain. These two European nations implemen-ted reproductive health education during the same period, yet with distinct ap-proaches. Spain, with its strong Catholic tradition, contrasts with the Czech Re-public, which registers a relatively low proportion of individuals with declared religious affiliation, according to statistical data from the Czech Statistical Office (ČSÚ) in 2021. The research participants consist of current adolescents and young adults aged 15 to 26 from the Czech Republic and Spain, who attended primary school during the systematic introduction of reproductive health education. The study aimed to...

Gross motor skills in children with hearing impairment in preschool age
Vrtišková, Eliška ; Komorná, Marie (advisor) ; Kotvová, Miroslava (referee)
The bachelor's thesis deals with the topic of gross motor skills in children with hearing impairment in preschool age. In order to understand the relationship between hearing impairment and gross motor skills, the first chapter describes the anatomy of the auditory organ. Hearing impairment, its division and compensation options are then defined. The second chapter characterizes motor skills and individual psychomotor development milestones with an emphasis on preschool age. The last chapter summarizes the findings of some foreign research dealing with this topic. The practical part provides data on the state of gross motor skills in children with hearing impairment. For this purpose, ten hearing-impaired probands underwent two different test batteries. The results of the first were compared with the expected age of task acquisition, and the results of the second were compared with the score of two control groups taken from two diploma theses. The obtained data showed a lower level of motor skills in children with hearing impairment compared to intact children. The findings are described in more detail in the discussion together with the answers to the research questions. KEYWORDS Gross motor skills, hearing impairment, balance, preschool age

Development of Pupils' Algorithmic Thinking Through Game Projects in Scratch
Benýšek, Vojtěch ; Štípek, Jiří (advisor) ; Černochová, Miroslava (referee)
The bachelor thesis focuses on the topic of developing pupils' algorithmic thinking through gaming projects in the Scratch development environment. The main goal of the work was to create a set of interconnected lessons (a course) in Scratch, which could be used as educational material in computer science classes to develop algorithmic thinking of students aged 8-10 years. The theoretical part mainly addresses the concept of computational, or rather, algorithmic thinking, relying on the study of professional sources. It focuses on explaining and defining these terms, identifying the possibilities of developing algorithmic thinking with an emphasis on programming. To find further approaches to the development of algorithmic thinking, both the Czech Republic's educational plan and those of selected European countries were analyzed. The insights gained in the theoretical part were subsequently utilized in the practical part, i.e., in creating the course itself. This course consists of ten lessons, the main content of which is project creation. To motivate students, it was decided that the projects would always be games. The lessons, besides the possible solution procedure, also contain methodological notes, which alert teachers to potential pitfalls or inform them how to present the given topic. The...
