The objective of the thesis is - with the aid of cost benefit analysis - evaluate economic impacts of planned amendment to Regulation of the Government No. 148/2006 Coll. On Health Protection from Adverse Effects of Noise and Vibration, namely based on the case of specific road track. Amendment to Regulation is aimed at making existing noise limits softer (to increase them) and thus to bring about savings in investment cost connected with anti-noise measures. The thesis intends to use a single case study to find out whether benefits resulting from price reduction in the process of road construction are higher than costs in the form of decrease of welfare caused by the higher noise exposition; alternatively at what period savings in costs connected with road construction equal to decrease in welfare (savings in costs are one-off, while increase in noise exposition and related drop in welfare are long-term). Estimated changes in welfare are based on analysis of secondary sources -- first of all on the study of traffic externalities in the Czech republic conducted by contingent valuation method. The actual core of the thesis is cost benefit analysis. Attention is paid also to broader discussion on experience in providing exceptions from noise limits in the Czech Republic.

The economic presence of China in Africa
Kašperová, Magda ; Kašpar, Václav (advisor) ; Vošta, Milan (referee)
The Popular Republic of China occupies an important position on the African continent. Although China and Africa have already been in contact in antiquity, the intensive cooperation had started after the Popular Republic of China had been created in 1949. While the Chinese government had focused on its political interests in the second half of the twentieth century, the Chinese strategy is now dominated by economic interests. The bilateral trade exceeded 100 billion USD in 2008 and China has become the second most important trading partner of African countries. The Chinese presence is significant in many economic areas. The Sino-African cooperation is not only characterized by the export of African raw materials but also the Chinese foreign direct investment in Africa have become increasingly important and the Chinese enterprises are very successful in the construction industry. The aim of this thesis is to analyze China's position on the African continent and present how intensive the Sino-African relations are.

Using of process the steam explosion at production of biogas from hay
BRAUN, Petr
Pellets from haylage, respectively hay were extruded in an extruder working with a high temperature according to the utility model CZ 21314 with different parameters. The researched parameters of extrusion with a constant time delay were a pressure extrusion and volatile solids. The highest production of methane (CH4) at a fermentation with the temperature 40 °C was monitored from the haylage with a content of the volatile solids 10,6 - 11 % by extrusion with the pressure 1,37 MPa. The highest production of CH4 at a fermentation with the temperature 50 °C was monitored from the haylage with a content of the volatile solids 13,5 - 16,7 % by extrusion with the pressure 1,37 - 1,66 MPa. A kontent of the volatile solids 11,5 % of haylage and extrusion with the pressure 1,35 ? 1,4 were estimated like optimum parameters for a fermentation with the temperature 40 - 50 °C with the highest production of CH4. For evaluation of the effectiveness of investment was used the metod of net present value (NPV). This method is the most commonly used and in most cases the most appropriate.

The currency reform in Czechoslovakia in 1953
Stromšík, Jakub ; Kuklík, Jan (advisor) ; Rákosník, Jakub (referee)
Resumé The Currency Reform in Czechoslovakia in 1953 The currency reform in Czechoslovakia in 1953 was significant because of many reasons. People lost their long-term savings, they understood the reform as theft of their honestly earned money. Communist propaganda could not change the people's feelings. The confidence in bank savings and life insurance was undermined. The result of the currency reform was cancellation of rationing but in fact the standard of living of Czechs and Slovaks dropped. In centrally controlled economy it was impossible to overcome the supply problems, which played into the hands of the shadow economy. Old-age and disability pensioners were also in difficult financial situation because they lost their income from their bound deposits and life insurance. The biggest group affected by the currency reform was labour class. That was the reason why the planned increase in industrial production failed. The monetary reform was a necessary condition for the continuation of extensive development of heavy industry, in the coming years to allow increased investments in this sector. Further, there have been general assumptions, that the corporate debts would be removed, however in contrary the debts substantially increased. Bankruptcy was unthinkable for many political reasons, and loans were...

Insurance responsibility for damage caused in relation with a major accident
Žižka, Jan ; Šauer, Petr (advisor) ; Hadrabová, Alena (referee)
My dissertation deals with the insurance responsibility for damage caused in relation with a major accident. The main goal of this task is to evaluate the state intervention in the form of a compulsory liability insurance for firms, which can cause a major accident. In my work I will support the thrust of the state intervention and will try to find a premise for that. I will show that the target of compulsory liability insurance is not to complicate life of new firms or of existing ones. I want to demonstrate that compulsory insurance leads to a better precaution for a major accident and it can also lead to precaution and safety investments. Further, I want to point out that compulsory insurance does not protect only firms, but also their creditors and employees. The protection company is to avoid a pointless risk in case that the firm itself takes too low an aversion towards risk. If the firm employes the compulsory liability insurance, the insurance company becomes another control body that is responsible for safety. This is consequently a benefit for taxpayers, whose money is not used for some damages caused by insolvent companies. The benefit for creditors and injured employees is also a big security in case of an accident, where an insurance company ensures a company's solvency. There are many other good reasons for compulsory insurance, and we can definitely find bad reasons too. Overall however, I see compulsory insurance as beneficial.
