Application of demographic analysis in human resources management: A Case study on elite floorball players Abstract This bachelor's thesis focuses on the possibilities of how to apply demographic analysis in the field of human resources management. Part of the work is also a case study which focuses on elite floorball players. The goal of this thesis is to introduce the concept of human resource management in general and to describe the possibilities of applying demographic analysis to other than just ordinary human populations on a theoretical level. The objectives of the case study include, among other things, demonstrating the different career times between men and women. The case study uses individual data of the 100 historically best male floorball players and 100 historically best female floorball players in the Czech Republic. Among the main methods used in demography and human resource management and also in sports are the construction of life tables and survival analysis. In the case study, statistically significant differences were found in the duration of the careers between men and women and in the average ages at the end of the career and in the average ages of achieving indivually best season. Keywords Human Resource Management, Workplace Diversity, Age, Sports, Applied Demography, Life...

Brečkayová, Žaneta ; Hulíková Tesárková, Klára (advisor) ; Lustigová, Michala (referee)
Premature mortality - possibilities of analysis and basic international comparison Abstract Premature mortality can be perceived in various ways in the present day. This study introduces basic approaches to premature mortality and discusses the most well-known methods employed by numerous significant international and regional organizations for public health analysis. The study primarily focuses on two commonly used indicators that collectively express the number of years lost due to premature mortality, describing their specific characteristics and main principles. These indicators are Years of Life Lost (YLLs) and Potential Years of Life Lost (YPLL). The study also includes the definition of avoidable and unavoidable mortality. In the practical part of the study, a comparison of selected methods for analyzing premature mortality is conducted using the examples of the Czechia and Slovakia in 2019. The results indicate that the specific choice of premature mortality definition and the method used for its calculation have a significant impact on the assessment of premature mortality levels. Key Words: Premature mortality, Years of Potential Life Lost (YPLL), Years of Life Lost (YLLs), avoidable mortality, Czechia, Slovakia Number of characters without blank spaces: 71 260

Houdek, Jakub ; Burcin, Boris (advisor) ; Hulíková Tesárková, Klára (referee)
The effect of the covid-19 pandemic on the structure and level of mortality in Czechia and Slovakia in the period 2020-2021 Abstract The aim of this bachelor thesis is a detailed analysis of the impact of pandemic covid-19 on the structure andlevelofmortalityintheCzechRepublicandSlovakiain2020and2021.Todeterminemortalitytrends, an analysis for the years 2012-2019 was also performed. The thesis uses mainly standardized mortality rates, life expectancy at birth and its decomposition by age groups and selected groups of causes of death. The data used came from the Czech Statistical Office and the Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic. Between 2012 and 2019, mortality rates decreased in both countries, especially for circulatory system diseases. The higher intensity of mortality in 2020 was mainly due to mortality from covid-19 in both countries, and to a lesser extent also to mortality from diseases of the circulatory system and, in the Czech Republic, to the group of other causes of death. In 2021, the level of mortality from covid-19 was at least two and a half times higher in both study countries compared to 2020. In the Czech Republic, mortality from most of the selected causes of death decreased in 2021, while in Slovakia mortality from circulatory...

Excess mortality due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021 in selected Central European countries
Chlapec, Dominik ; Hulíková Tesárková, Klára (advisor) ; Kulhánová, Ivana (referee)
Excess mortality due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021 in selected Central European countries Abstract The aim of this thesis is to compare excess mortality associated with the covid-19 pandemic in four Central European countries. The research focused on the years 2020 and 2021, during which the countries studies were most affected by the pandemic. Excess deaths and excess standardized mortality rates are used here for the international comparison. To calculate these indicators, it was first necessary to estimate the reference mortality levels, which were then compared with the recorded number of deaths and standardized mortality rates. Two models were used to estimate the reference mortality levels, which were based on weekly averages and Serfling's cyclical model. Based on these reference mortality levels, it was found that the highest increase of deaths compared to the expected number of deaths during the studied years occurred in Slovakia, while the lowest increase was recorded in Germany. Similar results were observed for other indicators, with higher overall excess mortality in Czechia and Slovakia and lower excess mortality in Germany and Austria. Differences in these results were observed when using the two different models. Keywords: covid-19, pandemic, excess mortality, Serfling model

Uherková, Adéla ; Hulíková Tesárková, Klára (advisor) ; Burcin, Boris (referee)
Development and specificity of mortality from selected diseases affecting the respiratory system in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic in Czechia Abstract The main topic of this thesis was the development of mortality and its possible specifics for selected diseases affecting the human respiratory system in Czechia between the years 2000 and 2021. For the purposes of the thesis, the causes of death were selected across the chapters of the 10th revision of the International Classification of Diseases published by the WHO. The analyzed causes of death included pneumonia, influenza, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (from Chapter X - Diseases of the respiratory system), malignant neoplasm of the lung and bronchus (from Chapter II - Neoplasms). The theoretical part of the thesis introduces the basic concepts related to the studied topic. The individual diseases studied are also described in more detail. The data used for the analysis were from the Czech Statistical Office and from the Ministry of Health of the Czech Republic. In the analytical part, the methods used were the standardized mortality rate, the bivariate decomposition method of the change in life expectancy at birth between the observed years, and the decomposition of the monthly time series of the number of deaths was used for the...

Population development in countries with the highest population growth rate
Janovský, Jan ; Hulíková Tesárková, Klára (advisor) ; Kalibová, Květa (referee)
Population development in countries with the highest population growth rate Abstract The bachelor thesis focuses on the population development of the countries with the highest population growth rate in the period 1990-2020. The thesis aims to evaluate the population development of the countries with the highest population growth rate. For the selection of countries, an indicator of the crude rate of natural change of population is used, which excludes the influence of migration on population growth. One of the main goals of the work is, based on research, to find the factors that influence the population growth rate, and then evaluate the influence of these factors on selected countries. For the purpose of this work, the states of Mali and Niger were chosen, which rank among the countries with the highest population growth rate. The analytical part is based on data from the United Nations and the Demographic and Health Surveys. The results of this work confirm the third phase of the demographic transition in Mali and Niger, thus confirming the continuation of the reduction of fertility in these countries. According to the analysis of factors affecting total fertility rate, significant differences in the education and wealth of families were found, which were significantly reflected in the demographic...

Gender differences in mortality from cardiovascular diseases in Europe
Trčková, Tereza ; Kulhánová, Ivana (advisor) ; Hulíková Tesárková, Klára (referee)
Genderdifferencesinmortalityfromcardiovascular diseases inEurope Abstract This thesis aims to analyze the difference in cardiovascular disease mortality between men and women in 21 selected European countries in the period 2001-2019. The intensity of gender differences across the selected countries is examined. With a stronger emphasis, the position of the Czech Republic within Europe is evaluated. To examine gender differences in cardiovascular mortality, the thesis uses standardized cause-specific mortality rates and a comparison of actual life expectancy with hypothetical life expectancy when cardiovascular mortality is suppressed for each country. Cluster analysis is used to identify how countries cluster together based on their similarity of health determinants. The results of the analysis showed that differences between men and women are present in all selected countries. The largest differences are found in Eastern and Central European countries.

Skurčáková, Karolína ; Hulíková Tesárková, Klára (advisor) ; Kalibová, Květa (referee)
Demographic dividend and population momentum in China and India: Evaluation of the current course and potential future development Abstract This thesis compares demographic dividends and population momentum in China and India. This thesis aims to define these terms theoretically, describe the mutual relation between them and evaluate the current and future development of the population due to the course and potential effects of the analysed phenomena. The main factors which affect formation and usage of demographic dividends are presented from literature. These factors are analysed using the display of the development of indicators that represent them. Using total dependency ratio, the current value of the demographic dividend is analysed, and future development is predicted. Two modified ratios that consider healthy life expectancy and labour force participation rate are introduced. Influence of population momentum to future population and demographic dividend is indicated with momentum variant of projection United Nations to total population and total dependency ratio. The results of this work provide information about the temporal development of demographic dividend and population momentum in these countries. Modified ratios denoted possible higher share of dependent persons than in the case of...

Demographic development in Cambodia since the second half of the 20th century
Dušek, Adam ; Hulíková Tesárková, Klára (advisor) ; Fialová, Ludmila (referee)
Demographic development in Cambodia since the second half of the 20th century Abstract This thesis deals with the population development in Cambodia since the second half of the 20th century. The objective of the thesis is to characterize population development in Cambodia during 1950-2020, focusing on the period of the 1970s. A sub-objective is to put demographic development into a historical context. The topic was analyzed through a study of relevant literature and subsequent demographic analysis based on data from the World Population Prospects database, other UN institutions and publications of notable scholars. It has been confirmed that the events that took place in the country during the Khmer Rouge rule from 1975 to 1979 had a significant impact on the population development and direction of the country. Extreme violence and harsh living conditions claimed at least 1.5 million victims. The age-sex structure was fundamentally distorted by the high excess mortality of young men. A period of increased fertility followed, but soon declined. Cambodia's population rose from 4.4 million to 16.7 million during the period under review. However, population growth has been slowing down due to declining fertility and high emigration. Keywords Cambodia, demographic development, Khmer Rouge, excess mortality
