Jovičić, Elena ; Sato, Alexej (advisor) ; Štěrbová, Ludmila (referee) ; Čajka, Peter (referee)
The necessity for a more adequate regulation of global trade relations (including support for the liberalization and development of international trade), in the context of the deepening globalization processes, requires a greater level of involvement of international economic organizations and more effective implementation of their activities. The primary purpose of the dissertation is to determine whether and how the World Trade Organization, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank Group have influenced the development of international trading system. The results of this thesis show that international organizations (primarily WTO and UNCTAD) during various stages of its development have been significantly affecting international trade growth mainly through the implementation of specific activities and measures related to a series of agreements and decisions. However, international organizations have had a divergent impact on international trade. The effectiveness of the implementation of specific activities and programs were depending on the political and economic situation of member countries, as well as the governments´ readiness and willingness to implement these measures. On the other hand, the effectiveness of realization of specific activities have been affected by either the internal weaknesses of the organizations, or the insufficient level of cooperation and coordination in the implementation of joint programs and measures aimed at international trade development.

Subsequently, association analysis was performed of the gene and the different production indicators of quality of pork meat. Examined polymorphism was found at position 103 of intron 2 of chromosome 4. DGAT1 gene has a major role in the synthesis tryacylglycerols and may affect the storage of fat in the body. Relative genotype frequencies were: AA = 0.4222; AG = 0.4889; GG = 0.0889. The values of the relative frequencies of alleles were as follows: A = 0.6666 and G = 0.3334.

Brož, Ondřej ; Hnát, Pavel (advisor) ; Nováková, Jana (referee)
Global governance finds itself at the crossroads. Current system is, to some extend, still reflecting world from the first half of the 20th century. Therefore it has not reflected all the changes and is struggling to bring itself up-to-date. Namely, the significant changes in developing world and rise of developing economies seem to be the cause of global governance that is ineffective and out of date. Aim of this paper is therefore to point out necessary changes, focus on main actors of global governance and analyze possible directions that global governance can take in the near future. This paper will mainly focus on economic dimension of global governance. It will show why the new architecture should be build around G20, International Monetary Fund and UN and it will underline changes that are necessary in order to reflect current world situation and improve its legitimacy, effectiveness and power.
