Subsidy Support of the Sustainable Waste Management
BEDNÁŘOVÁ, Renata
The subject of the dissertation is the issue of the waste management with special emphasis on the recycling of the construction and demolition waste. The recourse is an analysis of the key instruments regulating the activities and behaviour of market operators in this field toward fulfilling all-society priorities and principles of the sustainable development, where special accent is put on the area of subsidy policies and programmes. The aim of the dissertation is to analyse and evaluate the setting of the selected subsidy programme in terms of economic and ecological efficiency with the emphasis on the assessment of the impact on the recipient. The subject of the research will be a priority axis 4 "Improvement of Waste Management and Removal of Old Environmental Burdens" within the Operational Programme Environment 2007 - 2013. In the literature review basic concepts and important definitions are defined, followed by the comprehensive and complex searches of the problematics from different angles of view. First of all, the global aspect of environmental protection is discussed, broader historical, legal, economic and political contexts, that are essential fundament for understanding the current and future challenges both globally regionally, are summarized. Hereafter, a more detailed description of the situation of the European Union is followed, then the overview is completed by a detailed view at the state of the problematics in the Czech Republic. Subsequent chapters are devoted to a detailed analysis of the waste management sector, again in terms of global, European and national standpoint, in the end the view is focused on the key issue of the dissertation problematics of construction and demolition waste. In the application part the fulfilling of the stated objective of the dissertation through four defined hypothesis is solved. Hypotheses verify the efficiency and appropriateness of the setting of the system of subsidies in the frame of the monitored programme. The emphasis is imposed on the assessment of the impact of the allocated subsidies to the private entities on their economic and environmental efficiency.

Objectivity, subjectivity and Karl Raimund Popper
Fafejta, Ondřej ; Uhlář, Pavel (referee) ; Kebza, Vladimír (advisor)
The author of the dissertation finds three approaches which can be taken as for the topic of objectivity and subjectivity: the cartesian, the kantian and the postmodern. He adopts the kantian approach, which leads to K. R. Popper's philosophy of science. On the basis of Popper's thoughts the author finds two concepts of objectivity: outer unknowable objectivity of the world, and inner objectivity of logic as a tool for knowledge. Outer objectivity or the world per se is a metaphysical concept for the unreachable limit of our knowledge. The author also distinguishes two concepts of subjectivity: subjective (known) experience, which is the most immediate tool for knowing outer objectivity, and objective (experienced) experience or experience per se which is identical with outer objectivity. The author's theory of objectivity and subjectivity thus contains three parts: outer objectivity/objective experience, subjective experience and inner objectivity. The author applies it as background for conversations in the sphere of helping professions. The first part which is metaphysical can only be presupposed. Therefore subjective impressions are the base of the conversation, purely individual for everybody, but presented if possible in so logical context that they can be understandable to other participants of the...

The issue of death and its psychological potencial
Ježková, Tereza ; Štětovská, Iva (referee) ; Šípek, Jiří (advisor)
In this study we wanted to explore, if there exists a relationship between spiritual orientation of people and their attitude to death. In the theoretical part, there were this two subjects (spirituality and death) described, explained and related to other important issues (for example: fear of death, the spiritual clime in the modern society, spiritual growth and motivation for the spiritual way of life, spiritual care of dying people etc.). This part discusses three representative kinds of spirituality too - the Christian reigion, the Buddhist spirituality and the "faith of atheists" - especially in their relation to death. In the empirical part we used a modified version of The Test of Colour Semantic Differential to verify that there exists greater integrity between conscious and unconscious dimension of attitude to death among the people with clear-cut spiritual orientation. Howewer, the results of the research haven't made it possible to falsificate the zero hypothesis.

Noise, Transport and Structural Properties of High Energy Radiation Detectors Based on CdTe
Šik, Ondřej ; Lazar, Josef (referee) ; Navrátil, Vladislav (referee) ; Grmela, Lubomír (advisor)
Poptávka ze strany vesmírného výzkumu, zdravotnictví a bezpečnostního průmyslu způsobila v posledních letech zvýšený zájem o vývoj materiálů pro detekci a zobrazování vysokoenergetického záření. CdTe a jeho slitina CdZnTe. jsou polovodiče umožnují detekci záření o energiích v rozsahu 10 keV až 500 keV. Šířka zakázaného pásma u CdTe / CdZnTe je 1.46 -1.6 eV, což umožňuje produkci krystalů o vysoké rezistivitě (10^10-10^11 cm), která je dostačující pro použití CdTe / CdZnTe při pokojové teplotě. V mé práci byly zkoumány detektory CdTe/CdZnTe v různých stádiích jejich poruchovosti. Byly použity velmi kvalitní spektroskopické detektory, materiál s nižší rezistivitou a výraznou polarizací, detektory s asymetrií elektrických parametrů kontaktů a teplotně degenerované vzorky. Z výsledků analýzy nízkofrekvenčního šumu je patrný obecný závěr, že zvýšená koncentrace defektů způsobí změnu povahy původně monotónního spektra typu 1/f na spektrum s výrazným vlivem generačně-rekombinačních procesů. Další výrazná vlastnost degenerovaných detektorů a detektorů nižší kvality je nárůst spektrální hustoty šumu typu 1/f se vzrůstajícím napájecím napětí se směrnicí výrazně vyšší než 2. Strukturální a chemické analýzy poukázaly, že teplotní generace detektorů způsobuje difuzi kovu použitého při kontaktování a stopových prvků hlouběji do objemu krystalu. Část mé práce je věnována modifikaci povrchu svazkem argonových iontů a jejímu vlivu na chemické složení a morfologii povrchu.

Theravada Buddhist monks in Sri Lanka: past and present
Skála, Ondřej ; Štěpánová, Irena (referee) ; Kašpar, Oldřich (advisor)
The diploma thesis presented here informs the academic public on a specific social group of Theravadian monks in Sri Lanka. The paper focuses mainly on providing a detailed survey of the present situation of Theravadian forest monks and their relations to the main-stream modern society of Sri Lanka. The author of the thesis presents the findings, which he collected during his field research between October 2004 and September 2006. The method he had chosen, the "living-in research" enabled him to become a full member of the monastic community. Therefore, besides from being an involved observer of the examined phenomena, he was able to participate in the action himself. The synchronous aspect of this work consists in a detailed examination of the present situation of the individual subjects and relations among them. The position of a monk (bhikkhu) and that of the monastic community (Sangha) in Sri Lanka traces back to 2000 years ago and the mutual monk-laymen relations have undergone many changes. For this reason, a part of the thesis is dedicated to monitoring the development of the Sangha and its position from the very beginning to the present times. Within this part, the author goes into more depth when describing the dynamic phenomena related to the culmination of colonialism in the second half of 19th...

Application of insights in commercial communication targeted at women
Dúbravská, Pavla ; Klosová, Anna (advisor) ; Zadražilová, Dana (referee) ; Přikrylová, Jana (referee)
Commercial communications is often accused of stereotyping when picturing women in commercials. To certain extent women expect and ask for "better and easier world" when it comes to advertising. In many cases however women tend to feel simplified. Both from advertising theory and practice insight is crucial for advertising to resonate with its target audience. If the communication is built on well-chosen insight the consumer gets a feeling that the brand understands him better. The main task of this work is thus to give insight into the mind of women as consumers and to find out how women perceive themselves in commercial communication. Two levels, theoretical and practical, are distinguished within this task that were later transformed into specific goals. Foreign literature gives evidence that insight is actually important part of both advertising theory and practice. No literature maps the attitude of practitioners in advertising in the Czech republic. Therefore the first goal is to map the role and understanding of insight in the Czech republic. To research this topic 12 in-depth interviews with advertisers and practitioners from communication and research agencies were executed. The in-depth interviews confirm the importance of insight also in the Czech republic. Second specific goal of the thesis is to map what kind of advertising Czech women consider as insightful. For the research purposes the insightfulness of communication is transformed into self-identification with media and commercial content. In the first part of this research respondents were asked to come up with content that evokes a feeling of understanding and self-identification. The research also verifies two hypotheses. H1: Stereotypes in advertising bother women. H2: Insights created in foreign countries can be applied in the Czech market. 200 women were interviewed through online questionnaire. As a stimuli television commercials with chosen parameters were used. It was found out that the self-identification with media content came through the identification with the main heroine, identification with realistic situations and through humour. The first hypothesis is not confirmed by the research. Women were not really bothered by stereotypes in advertising according to the research. The second hypothesis is not confirmed either. Foreign insights cannot be automatically used in the Czech market. There are national and cultural differences that need to be taken into account. The thesis is divided into 7 chapters including the introduction and the summary. The benefit of this work on the theoretical level is seen in mapping the topic in its complexity. The practical contribution is seen in how the work assesses insights, its creation but also expectations of the subjects in the market.

Measures for efficiency and eco-efficiency
Dzianová, Ivana ; Kopa, Miloš (referee) ; Lachout, Petr (advisor)
Comparison between the economic subjects on micro and macro economic levels by a unitary indicator is provided by measuring efficiency as an evaluation of the performance of subjects. For each economic subject technical, allocative, economic, scale efficiencies and eco-efficiency can be computed if all data required are available. This paper attends to examine a method based on linear programming - Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Two models for technical efficiency and their derivates to measure other efficiencies are presented and compared in detail - a simple DEA model and an additive DEA model. Finally, theoretical procedures are applied on the forest industry in between the counties of Czech Republic and comparison by measurements of efficiencies is provided.

Márová, Adéla ; Boukal, Petr (advisor) ; Vávrová, Hana (referee)
The ba thesis "Financial Analysis of the Hospital České Budějovice, a. s." is focused on the economic performance of the hospital during the years 2007-2011 and a comparison with an average Czech hospital. The introduction contains a discussion of financial analysis matters and the reasons for the choice of this topic. It presents the goals of the financial analysis and methods of achieving these goals, and proposes an assumption for this analysis. The theoretical part introduces the subject of the analysis, the healthcare situation in the Czech Republic and the means of hospital financing. Moreover, it focuses on the legal form of transformation of the hospital from a state-funded institution to a join-stock company and the related financing changes. Subsequently this part deals with methods of the financial analysis and mentions both the well-known and the lesser known ratios and indicators used mostly in the public sector. The comparison of the healthcare indicators with an average in the Czech Republic also represents an integral component. In the practical part the specific findings of the analysis are evaluated, considering the hospital's role and goals and its possibilities, which are different from other join-stock companies. In conclusion, the thesis provides an overall evaluation of the hospital's economics, confirms or refutes the assumption and recommends other steps leading to improving.
