Nové postupy biomonitoringu cizorodých látek ve vodním prostředí
ČERVENÝ, Daniel
Within the presented work, several approaches of biomonitoring were studied. A well-established method for human health risk assessment was applied to evaluate the quality of fish from open waters in the Czech Republic. As this work is targeted on sport fishermen, who frequently consume their own catches, besides the publication in scientific journal, a brochure with results of this study was distributed via the Czech Fishing Union. Health risks for consumers related to the consumption of wild fish were found strongly species and locality dependent. As there is no risks related with the consumption of carp (Cyprinus carpio) at all investigated sites, frequent consumption of predatory fish should be avoided at some fishing grounds. The use of passive samplers has become more and more attractive in the last two decades. As these devices are able to mimic the biological uptake of chemicals, their potential for replacing fish as bioindicators in routine biomonitoring programmes is evident. In our study, the comparison between analysis of fish tissues and POCIS extracts from selected sampling sites confirms this idea about interchangeability of these indicators in the case of PFASs as target pollutants. Moreover, no metabolic transformation of contaminants present in water take place in passive samplers contrary to living organisms, thus these reflect the actual contamination at the locality more precisely. The use of passive samplers completely fulfils the internationally accepted principles of Replacement, Reduction, Refinement (the three R´s). Another promising approach using YOY fish as bioindicators was evaluated within the present study. Multispecies samples of YOY fish homogenate was found as a better indicator for wide range of pollutants than muscle tissue of adult fish within one species from the same locality. As all inner organs and tissues are presented in analysed samples, more target pollutants in higher concentrations are detected compared to the muscle of adults. Besides the higher sensitivity in pollutants detection and quantification, practical and economic benefits are of concern in the case of the YOY fish approach. The YOY fish approach also particularly fulfil the three R´s strategy, as sampling of this age group of fish has a smaller impact on the environment than the sampling of adults. In case of mercury, that was found as a limiting contaminant for the consumption of fish from open waters in the Czech Republic, a nonlethal method of finclips sampling can be used for the monitoring of this compound in aquatic environments. Besides the monitoring, our optimised method for the estimation of muscle tissue concentrations could be used for human health risk assessment as well. The difference between real muscle concentrations and concentrations estimated using our method differs less than 10% in most of the investigated localities. Benthic organisms are an important part of the food web in aquatic environments, but insufficient information about its contamination is available. In another study included in this thesis, first evidence about bioaccumulation of certain pharmaceuticals in benthic organisms was described. Although, pharmaceuticals are generally considered to be not accumulative in organisms, our study proved that certain pharmaceuticals have bioaccumulation potential. From this finding, it is evident that not only the concentrations of pharmaceutical dissolved in water but also the diet represents an important exposure pathway of contamination by these compounds for organisms (fish) inhabiting aquatic environments.

Social responsibility and the application of ethical principles in public administration
Ronovská, Tereza ; Varvažovská, Pavla (advisor) ; Miroslav, Miroslav (referee)
Code of Ethics in Public Administration, which takes into account the daily exercise of fundamental ethical principles in public administration, should be moral regulation governing professional personal approach to public administration addressees. It can not be at the level of sanctions enforceable regulation, which applies to public administrators. Rather, it should be the norm every institution containing socially acceptable ethical principles reflecting the basic principles of good governance that would permanently stabilize desirable responsible professional approach executors of public administration within the defined legislation. Thus, the aim of the code of ethics, which should be in every institution open to the public in paper or electronic form, should be sustained to ensure the basic requirements among the participants of the public administration. Basic principles of ethical principles, supplemented by observations of the authors cited in the thesis could help a number of public institutions in developing their own code of ethics and social responsibility for formulating its practical observance.

Labour costs and benefits in the selected company
Kunová, Martina ; Šišková, Jitka (advisor) ; Helena, Helena (referee)
The thesis titled is focused on the issues of wage costs and employee benefits. Literary research of the thesis defines basic terms, which are related to labor costs and employee benefits. Within the scope of the term wage costs, the core meaning of wages is captured, both in terms of wages of the employees, as well as in terms of the employer. Wages, salaries and bonuses are the basic evaluation of the workload of each employee of the given company. A payroll system is created within each company, in which the basic ranges of the labor costs for the whole hierarchy of employees is determined. Each employee has his position and job description and these two principles are correctly evaluated. Firm rules are set for the calculation of net earnings, which are determined by a costing calculation and the percentage rate of the social insurance, health insurance and advances on income tax of individuals from employment. Other possibilities of eligible employees beyond basic gross salary are employee benefits. This is a form of employee motivation in every society. Not only are they of great importance for employees, they are also an appropriate component of tax optimization from the perspective of the employer. In terms of the law on income tax, employee benefits are divided into three groups according to their impact on the tax and contribution advantages. Companies can then use these tax savings for their further development, or alternatively, for the expansion of the provision of employee benefits in society. The practical part of the thesis is based on the literature search. First, it focuses on the analysis of payroll costs for the period from 2004 to 2014. The calculation of wages is done for three different income groups of employees in the selected organization. It monitors the evolution of net wages and payments of taxes on income of individuals from employment during the reporting period. There are various recognized methods of calculation of wages according to individual changes of the law during the reporting period. The next step in the practical part of the thesis describes the system of employee benefits in the selected organization. Part of my own work is a survey among the employees of the company on this issue. The obtained data are analyzed and processed into clear graphs. The acquired results are the basis for the creation of proposals and recommendations for changes in the provision of employee benefits for the selected organization.
