Occupational medical services
Švandelíková, Klára ; Morávek, Jakub (advisor) ; Tomšej, Jakub (referee)
This rigorous thesis deals with the institute of occupational medical services, enshrined in the legal order of the Czech Republic by Act No. 373/2011 Coll., on Specific Health Services.

Whistleblowing
Švandelíková, Klára ; Morávek, Jakub (advisor) ; Pichrt, Jan (referee)

The constitutional system offers some rules on which you can base the lawfulness of whistleblowing. Individual regulations can be found in labour law, criminal law, administrative law or civil law. Legislation of protection of personal data and protection of journalistic sources are also relevant. There is still debate as to the exact definition of whistleblowing. In this thesis whistleblowing is defined as reporting harmful or unwanted conduct by internal or third parties, via a specific system of notification relevant to an entity's (in which the reporting occurs) scope. In all cases the informant should be protected from retaliatory measures. This thesis also addresses the history of experience with whistleblowing, in America up to the second half of the 18th century. Part of the thesis is also dedicated to international legislation...
