Smrž, Jiří ; Chlapek, Dušan (advisor) ; Kučera, Jan (referee)
This Bachelor's thesis focuses on potential benefits and risks of open data in public sector. The aim of this work is to analyze the benefits and risks, and based on them create a procedure to quantify the benefits of open data in public sector. The work is divided into four main parts. The first deals with basic terminology a reader interested in open data problematics needs to know. The second part is devoted to performing an analysis of the examined studies. Based on the conducted analysis, the particular approaches and risks are then divided into individual groups. The third part examines current approaches to determining the value of open data. I deal in more detail with BOUDICA model in this section. In the last part an approach to quantification of the benefits and risks of open data in public sector is proposed. For this I use the results obtained from the analysis of the examined studies. A part of this proposal is also a determination of recommendations that are necessary to quantify the benefits and risks of open data in public sector according to this method. The main asset of this work lies in a proposal of a potential method to quantify the benefits and risks of open data in public sector. Analysis of the benefits and risks of open data in public sector and listing many practical examples are partial benefits of this thesis.

Czech Republic and the optimum currency area criteria
Kadlecová, Pavlína ; Plchová, Božena (advisor) ; Kopecký, Jan (referee)
The goal of this bachelor thesis is to use the theory of optimum currency area to assess whether the Czech Republic is prepared to enter the Eurozone. Comparing the costs and benefits of monetary integration, this theory establishes economic and political criteria that should be met by the participating countries in order to assure that giving up the possibility to devaluate currency is still beneficial. In terms of labor mobility, the Czech Republic is far behind the Eurozone's average, but the future prospects remain positive. The degree of production diversification does not speak in favour of an early adoption of the euro either. Czech industry is too dependent on the machinery sector, which translates into a significant risk of asymmetric shocks. On the other hand, the Czech Republic performs better than most euro countries with regard to the degree of economic openness. Strong business links with Germany reduce the effectiveness of currency devaluation, making the Czech Republic a good candidate to enter the EMU. For such ambiguous cases, the theory recommends creating a system of fiscal transfers, which would allow countries to compensate for the negative effects of economic shocks. Consequently, the best approach for the Czech Republic seems to be achieving stronger real convergence and deeper political integration.

Identity of the German minority in Krusne mountains
Džambasov, Petr ; Muhič Dizdarevič, Selma (advisor) ; Moree, Dana (referee)
The German minority in our territory developed dramatically during past decades. The development apart of other things shows the process of transformation of our society -from a heterogeneous one before World War II to a homogeneous society after the postwar t ransfer of 3 million Germans from our territory. These aspects have had and st ill have their natural impact on the development of a civil society in our territory. The research of the remaining community of the German citizens' minority in the district of Chomutov brings informat ion about today's situation, about its ident ity and further movement. The space, conditions and the attendance devoted to this minori ty because of creating its own pecul iarity reflect our society' readiness for a return to a multinational , open and plural society - to a stable and conscious civil society.

Listening to our mothers' minds: intercultural and intergenerational conflict in Amy Tan's writing
Lamb, Alice ; Kolinská, Klára (referee) ; Nováková, Soňa (advisor)
The notion of Chinese character being a hereditary entity that cannot be changed by any outer circumstances is a complex belief characteristic of any Chinese community both living in mainland China and in any foreign country. It is a primary factor that subconsciously prevents first generation Chinese immigrants from teaching their children Chinese language as their mother tongue and from imposing on them Chinese family traditions and rules that would apply in their home country. It is the character and its distinctive features that cause their deliberate enclosure in "ghettoes" of China Towns, forming Chinese Diasporas that prevent the immigrant parents from assimilating with their new societies. As a consequence, the second generation immigrants become double marginalised and the immigrant communities are troubled by two major contradicting forces: all Chinese immigrant parents face the problem of reconciliation with the cultural assimilation of their children and all children feel the generation gap between themselves and their conservative parents. In every Chinese community today there are thus two elements in continuous tension: the openness towards the outside world, the desire to borrow the good things and, by integrating them with ancient Chinese tradition, to enrich themselves as a result of this...

The first research enquired after the performance oriented society requirements by the households with children and households without children. The results are based on representative sample of younger 40 years old respondent questionnaire answers. The second research tried to find the concrete strategies, how to cope with performance oriented society requirements by households with children and households without children on representative sample questionnaire with open question: "What does help you to cope with recent society requirements?"
