Eye-Tracking Control of an Adjustable Bed
Kopeček, Martin ; Kremláček, Jan (advisor) ; Čapek, Lukáš (referee) ; Komzák, Martin (referee)
The origin of this work was based on the need to control an electric positioning bed by patients with no or significantly reduced upper limb motor skills. The key point and objective of the dissertation study was to develop non-contact alternatives to manual controls and to verify that the eye-tracking technique is usable and offers patients a new level of increased self-sufficiency. The thesis is organized into three related parts with experiments conducted at the detached departments and in the laboratory. After an introductory section covering the stages of development and current progressive trends in eye movement tracking, an experimental study of the applicability of bed control with the role of alternating head and leg position changes using on-screen graphical controls is described. This stage was conducted using a virtual bed. In a group of 17 patients with diagnoses of a pentaplegia, tetraplegia, high paraplegia, myopathy, and spinal muscular atrophy, the overall time to solve the task was 67.1 s (median) with a large interindividual variability with interquartile range from 56.7 s to 92.9 s. The solution efficiency (100 % matched to optimal performance) was 45.5 (34.9; 62.0) %. Within each group patients achieved different results for both studied parameters. When evaluating the features of the...

Does work in non-profit sector pay off?
Kopeček, Martin ; Chytilová, Julie (advisor) ; Pěkná, Martina (referee)
This thesis examines the relation between working in a non-profit sector and subjective perception of happiness. The first part is dedicated to introduction and historical context of happiness. The second part examines various literature dedicated to this phenomenon. In the last part statistical regressions are estimated to prove or reject the correlation using data from US National Longitudinal Survey of Youths 1997. Most of the models render the relation as insignificant, from one model we get that people from low- income families tend to be happy all of the time less often when working in a non-profit organization. JEL Classification: I31, J01, J31, D03, L33 Keywords: happiness, non-profit, work, satisfaction Author's e-mail: martin.kopecek@e-klub.cz Supervisor's e-mail: chytilova@fsv.cuni.cz

More labour, more beauty, more egality - women and building of socialism in discourse of local communist elites in 50's in Czechoslovakia
Kopeček, Martin ; Pullmann, Michal (advisor) ; Nečasová, Denisa (referee)
The paper is concerning about special way of "speech" about women in 50's in Czechoslovakia. In that paper is performed the research of official "regime" representations in area of gender relationships and gender roles (the discourse of "regime's" claim) on one hand, and on the other hand the research of nature and form of that "speech" (of women) in the space of one local communist party organisation (district organisation of Commnunist party of Czechoslovakia). The paper is concerning about comparison of those two types of discoursive levels. Base on that comparison is possible to distinguish more differences between the oficial and the local level. Especially, the local level is quite diffferent. The paper is concerning about the adequate explanation of those differences. In addition, the paper indicates the change of nature and form of that "speech" in second half of 50's. Also, the paper is concerning to explicate that change.

EU and State Grants Distribution in the Czech Republic: The Effect of Political Connections
Kopeček, Martin ; Palanský, Miroslav (advisor) ; Turnovec, František (referee)
This thesis is divided into two parts. The first part analyses recently published data from the Central Grant Registry (CEDR) on state grant distribution in Czechia between 1999 and the present year. In the second part, I link this data to information on political connections established through donations to parties and examine whether politically connected firms are more successful in competing for state grants. I match the donating firms to non-donating but otherwise similar firms using propensity scores based on a number of observable characteristics. The results indicate that donating companies have a 40% higher success rate in receiving state grants compared to non-donating firms. I find that the effect is higher for grants from the state budget than for grants from EU funds, which is consistent with EU-funded grants being subject to stricter regulations. JEL Classification D72, D73, H2, H71, H81 Keywords grants, subsidies, donations, political connections Author's e-mail martin.kopecek@smallhill.cz Supervisor's e-mail miroslav.palansky@gmail.com

Gertruda Sekaninová-Čakrtová. A Portrait of a Personality of the Czechoslovak Public Life
Kopeček, Martin ; Pullmann, Michal (advisor) ; Spurný, Matěj (referee)
The work deals with the political biography of dr. Gertrude Sekaninová-Cakrtova - left-wing politician and diplomat, that the Czechoslovak public arena, she acted from 30' to 70' of 20th century. The main axis of the paper is thematization of their motivation for political actions over time (30th-70th years), which are based on the background of a utopian communist (socialist) promise with which she identified in the first half of the 30th years, yet. The dynamics of Sekaninova-Cakrtova's motivations in the course of 40 years paper articulate in the context of a whole generation of communist intellectuals and their ambivalent relationship to postwar communist regime during its development.
