Data mining and aspects of private law
Procházka, Lukáš ; Kučera, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Zvára, Michael (referee)
Data mining and aspects of private law Abstract Data is the new oil. As oil can be transformed into valuable products data can be transformed into information about our customers, competitors, contractual partners or audience. No matter whether online advertisements, recommender systems, internet search engines, so- called personalisation is ever-present. As of now, neither private nor public law provides throughout regulation of data and its exploitation. Some might say that words, data and information are interchangeable. This applies particularly to older regulations of the European Union such as GDPR. However, data and information are two very distinct yet connected terms. Besides that, in the first chapter we elaborate on the concept of data mining, its methods and utilization. In the second chapter we point out relevant regulation within private law, including regulation of the European Union and its pursuit of fairness in access and use of data. Furthermore, we evaluate suitability and sufficiency of the current state of regulation and suggest changes and amendments. We focus on personal data, intellectual property rights and anti-competitive practices. Some might argue that as of now there are no sufficient provisions ensuring transparent use of data. In the third chapter we evaluate whether current...

Budget Process in Theory and Practice in a Municipality
SAMCOVÁ, Kateřina
This thesis deals with the analysis of the budget and the budgetary process with a focus on the transparency of the entire budgetary process. Furthermore, it is pointed out the weak points in the legislation that allow municipalities to be creative at certain stages of the budget process. The thesis first provides information about the individual stages of the budgetary process, which are the proposal budget, the negotiation and approval of the budget, the implementation of the budget and control, and finally the final bill. The budget process of the city of Strakonice for 2020 is also described in detail. Due to the impact of the pandemic crisis, the implementation of the budget and its control were non-standard, which is why a chapter on the impact of the crisis on the budgetary process is included. It was found that the budgetary process in practice did not differ much from the one described in the theoretical part of the thesis. Therefore, only minor recommendations have been proposed that could improve the clarity and transparency of the entire budgetary process while increasing its efficiency.

The housing market in Ukraine
DIAKOV, Vladyslav
The purpose of this thesis was to take a deeper look into the Ukrainian housing market, understand its problems and find or synthesize possible solutions. My primary motivation for writing this paper is a period in my life when my father bought me an apartment in Kyiv and I, having no experience dealing with Ukrainian housing market bureaucracy and corruption, had to do all the paperwork to become a legal owner of the property. I failed multiple times before I succeeded and experienced a lot of issues, I researched in this paper first hand. Due to the reasons explained in the paper, obtaining primary data about the Ukrainian housing market is virtually Impossible, therefore the main sources for this thesis were theoretical works of scientists and researchers and secondary statistics. In the process of research, it was discovered that some problems undermining the development of the housing market in Ukraine are more trivial and easily solvable than it was hypothesized. However, some of the problems turned out to be deep-seated and systemic. This thesis definitely shows that even though the problems of the Housing market in Ukraine are serious and very damaging, there are possible solutions that can be effective in solving or at least mitigating those issues.

Ascertaining beneficial owners of limited business corporations and the legal consequences of discrepancies in their register
Tocik, Jan ; Černá, Stanislava (advisor) ; Josková, Lucie (referee)
1 Ascertaining beneficial owners of limited business corporations and the legal consequences of discrepancies in their register Abstract The ongoing EU regulatory developments in the area of anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism have brought obligations to identify and register data on beneficial owners of legal persons and legal arrangements. Beneficial owners are, in the most general sense, natural persons who, on a factual or legal basis, directly or indirectly, control a legal person or legal arrangement, own a significant share in it or draw a substantial part of funds from its capital resources. The main purpose and objective of these obligations is to ensure increased transparency of these legal entities so that they cannot be easily exploited for the perpetration of (financial) crime. In order to implement the latest European legislation into the Czech legal system, the Czech legislator adopted (and is currently amending) Act No. 37/2021 Sb., on the Register of Beneficial Owners, which regulates this legal matter in a general and comprehensive manner. The object of this thesis is the analysis of the new statutory regulation and the assessment of whether it is capable of achieving its objective, which is to ensure increased transparency of legal persons, specifically in the...

Processing of compact polycrystalline YAG ceramics
Kaplan, Lukáš ; Pouchlý, Václav (referee) ; Kachlík, Martin (advisor)
In the literary part of this master thesis a research on various methods of preparation of dense polycrystalline YAG ceramics and the effects of sintering on the densification and other desired properties of such prepared YAG ceramics was carried out, the transparency after addition of dopant elements was also discussed. In the experimental part of the thesis, samples of dense polycrystalline YAG ceramics were prepared by SSR method and the effect of sintering on the densification and porosity of the YAG ceramic samples was studied. Relative density, porosity, phase purity and transparency were measured on the sintered samples. These measurements were compared with the results of the works reported in the literature section.

FROM EAST TO WEST: RELATIONS, COLLISIONS, AND DIVERGENCE OF CZECH AND JAPANESE CULTURE
Vaculík, David ; Čapková, Helena (referee) ; Mitášová, Monika (advisor)
The diploma thesis follows up the pre-diploma research dealing with the investigation of selected literature on Japanese traditional and modern architecture and gardens, archival research of extant 20th century buildings in Czech republic influenced by Czech-Japanese relations and the contemporary perception of Japan in the eyes of the Czech professional and uninitiated audience. It also includes a selective glossary of Japanese words and terms, containing study translations from English of selected architectural literature related to the topic. The output took the form of a Discovery Book with a short glossary, pictorial data and an anthology of translated texts. The thesis follows this preliminary "introductory research" with two main parts. The first part (A) explores concepts of space-making and spatial elements deeply rooted in Japanese traditional buildings as they were rediscovered and rethought, particularly by 20th century Japanese architects – who continued to use and revive these concepts in their own work. The text traces their understanding of Japanese traditional architecture. Then, using the example of three Japanese traditional spatial "icons", four works by 20th century Japanese architects, and three works by Czech architects in different phases of the 20th century, the thesis probes the relationship between these two architectural cultures in a European context. The second part (B) consists of texts on the architectural designing of model, utopian housing. The whole design follows a narrative – a scenario that shapes a temporal and spatial sequence that is not in line with the classical perception of time and space but spirals upwards. The next subsection interprets this story into spatio-temporal gradients and elements. Parts C and D contain conclusions and literature used. Model buildings are proposed on a range of scales: the smallest dwelling (a capsule), minimal dwelling, community dwelling, house, villa, city, and a coffin. The composition of the different scenarios and structures respects the movement along a spiral, where we can also observe the cyclical nature of life itself, which ends with the last terminal phase that escapes the gradient of scales – the coffin. These individual proposals are inspired by the studied phenomena and elements, texts and buildings of Japanese and European architecture with their interrelationships. The aim of this thesis is first to study the spatial, temporal, but also light and colour possibilities of Japanese traditional and modern architecture in the context of European, especially Czech, ones. Another aim is to propose a model-based, utopian housing project with a gradient layering of spaces, structures, materials, views and lighting based on various game strategies as well as the maxims of “Form follows fiction”.

The Trade Policy Review Mechanism: Shedding light on non-compliance?
Rosendorf, Ondřej ; Parízek, Michal (advisor) ; Karlas, Jan (referee)
This thesis examines the notion of monitoring mechanisms and their ability to identify non-compliance. The Trade Policy Review Mechanism (TPRM) of the World Trade Organization constitutes the main focus of analysis. The purpose of the thesis is to improve the current empirical account of the functioning of the mechanism, and to examine the extent to which the mechanism is able to detect rule violations before they are taken up to the court, as well as factors affecting this ability. From theoretical standpoint, the thesis draws mainly upon rational institutionalism and other approaches related to notions of transparency and compliance. In particular, the thesis focuses on the concept of the so called information systems in international regimes. As regards methodology, the thesis relies on the method of content analysis the purpose of which is to procure empirical evidence of occurrence of matters related to non-compliance in trade policy reviews. Thus procured empirical evidence is then subjected to statistical analysis, including logistic regression. The thesis finds that TPRM covers surprisingly large number of matters that later become subjects of judicially confirmed rule-violations at the WTO. As much as 72% of the matters that are eventually taken up to court are mentioned in trade policy...
