Motivation and evaluation of empolyees
Sinkulová, Anna ; Legnerová, Kateřina (advisor) ; Šmíd, David (referee)
My bachelor thesis is focused on motivation and assessment of employees in the company. The aim of this thesis is to investigate the influence of team building and benefits on employees' motivation. Literature based theoretical part of my thesis describes and investigates the real meaning and purpose of motivation and basic motivational concepts. Furthermore, I outlined the basics behind employee benefits, team building and also stated the current given trends in these areas. The practical part is focused on benefit and workplace research and their impact on the general motivation to work and the relations between the employees of the Czechoslovak Commercial Bank (ČSOB). In order to collect the best results, I used the method of questionnaires. Respondents were asked to answer questions considering their satisfaction with the system of employee benefits and the importance of teamwork. Based on the survey results I propose certain changes that should lead to motivation improvement and better job performance.

Application of Monte Carlo simulations in banking
Boruta, Matěj ; Teplý, Petr (advisor) ; Fučík, Vojtěch (referee)
Currently, banking is exposed to huge market risks. One of those risks is occurrence of negative interest rates in the EU. Nowadays, it is important to use sophisticated and modern measurement tools and approaches to measure and manage banking risks. One of those methods is Monte Carlo simulation. This bachelor thesis is aimed at analysis and prediction of 3-month maturity Prague Interest Offer Rate (PRIBOR) for 3, 6 and 12 months with using Monte Carlo simulations. It was found that this method is suitable for prediction market variables with low volatility. If anybody uses this method, it is necessity to have in mind all pitfalls and assumptions, that this method includes, as an adequate random generated number of scenarios, approximation of correct probability distribution, independence of dataset and not least, as far as possible, to focus on factors generating randomness of market variable and not the prices, that express rather consequences of randomness than its cause. Further, the Monte Carlo prediction was compared with prognosis of the Czech Nation Bank and it was found that Monte Carlo prediction is more accurate for short term predictions. 12-month prediction of Monte Carlo simulation discovered also possible occurrence of negative interest rate at 0,05% level of probability in compare to the Czech National Bank prognosis, where was no negative interest rate predicted.

Branchial arches region and its blood vessels are extensively transformed in the embryonic development. Aim of this study is to investigate mechanisms of the branchial arches region development and to study how a morphogen Sonic hed gehog (Shh) participate on the formation and remodeling of branchial arches and their blood vessels. Influence of Shh was evaluated based on the changes caused by its inhibition in vivo. Shh function was inhibited with an anti-Shh antibody, which was produced into the embryo from the applied hybridoma cells. Shh signaling cascade was also inhibited by cyclopamine. Results show that Shh is important for dc novo format,ion of the blood vessels in the branchial arches region. Further Shh is necessary for stabilization of the vessel wall, mainly for anterior cardinal vein. Shh also alfects later vessel development and transformation, which includes i.e. fusion of the dorsal aorta, branching of the internal carotid artery and outflow tract development. Short time inhibition of Shh has minor effect on the apoptosis and proliferation activity of the branchial arches region mesenchymal cells. We assume that Shh signals directly to the blood vessels endothelial cells, as Shh receptor ptel is also expressed in endothelial cells and its signal is reduced with Shh inhibition. In studied...

The master thesis deals with new phenomenon in tourism film induced tourism. The main objective of the master thesis is to characterize film induced tourism which could be used as a tool to increase the attendance of the destination where the film was shot. Next main objective of the thesis is evaluation of film induced tourism in Europe, more precisely in Great Britain and Northern Ireland where the film induced tourism is at relatively advanced level. The master thesis is divided into the eight main chapters. The first part briefly defines term tourism, its importance and tips related to the place of realization. In the second chapter there is described management of destination, following with marketing direction in the fourth chapter. In the fifth part, there is definition of film-induced tourism, related history, supply, the opportunities of marketing promotion and typology of the film induced tourist. Next parts of thesis show significance and efficiency of film induced tourism, film induced tourism in Czech Republic and in the Europe where the main attention was focused on Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The last chapter refers to own research where the potential of film induced tourism was investigated by using quantitative and qualitative methods from respondents which were based in Czech Republic.

Importance and capitalization of cultural monument in Karlovy Vary region
Lojín, Lukáš ; Khendriche Trhlínová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Kadeřábková, Jaroslava (referee)
This thesis is determined by general definition of culture and especially cultural monument, its management and own sources of financing. General lessons have been applied in the case study on five specific cultural monuments in region of Karlovy Vary. It analyzes visit rate, marketing and sources of own financing of those cultural monuments. It contains comparison of outcomes between those objects. Expansion of sources of own financing is important for decreesing of dependence on public funds. For raise of those sources, higher visit rate together with good marketing strategy, are needed.

Social meaning of physical exercise presented by some of the Czech women's magazines
Semotánová, Adéla ; Hájek, Martin (advisor) ; Řezáčová, Vendula (referee)
The subject of the thesis is meanings of the physical exercising presented in the Czech women magazines, which I explored through qualitative content analysis of the articles focused on exercising. Three relevant frames or research areas emerged from foreign literature, which became the frames of the analysis: value of the exercise related to the body, the exercise as possible social field and gender level of these practices. I was specifically interested, if the exercise is presented as activity that helps to create socially disciplined body or individually restituted body for personal needs. Or if the exercise creates specific social field - sphere with specific relationship, rules and capital and if the gender is an important factor, connected to the presentation of the exercises in magazines, focused on women. The results show that the exercise is activity that creates the restituted body so as the disciplined body. It is not possible to define, if it is specific social field. The articles content so positive indications as those, which do not comply with the social field definition. Ideal femininity and ideal woman body should be reached by exercising. This ideal woman identity varies from reader's identity, which magazines define as "common" woman. The gender is an important factor that has...

Biomarkers in Myocardial Damage Diagnostics
KOPŘIVOVÁ, Olga
Anotace (abstract) Biomarkers diagnosing myocardial damages have recently been a very dynamically developing part of clinical biochemistry. Implementing of new biomarkers is very prompt; they are mostly implemented into practice without wider clinical and analytical experience. During a few years these are new methods to determine myoglobin, troponins (cTnI, cTnT), CK-MB mass, BNP etc. The effort of clinical biochemists and cardiologists is to cover all phases and levels of myocardial damage in acute coronary syndromes by means of cardio markers. These investigations are dramatically changing the view of diagnosis, determination of prognosis and therapy in acute coronary syndromes. In my thesis I covered retrospective data analysis in patients with the pain in the chest, presented at an inpatient clinic. The value of myocardial damage indicators and their dynamism was analysed from the definitive diagnosis point of view. I performed my own analysis at OKB Nemocnice Písek, a.s. (Hospital Písek, Inc.). The aim of my thesis was to cover the significance of particular myocardial damage markers and find out if investigated set of markers is sufficient for correct and prompt diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction. In terms of this thesis I tried to find out if the panel of cardiac markers contains excess values. In OKB Písek, a.s. the panel of myocardial damage markers includes: myoglobin, troponin I, CK-MB mass and the marker of heart failure BNP. In the samples of fifty-six patients I analysed the presence of the above mentioned markers of myocardial damage and heart failure. I examined only the markers which were determined by a physician. In the group of investigated patients with chest pain, measured values of troponins proved myocardial infarction in sixteen patients, values of CK-MB mass in sixteen patients and values of myoglobin in twelve patients. In the control group of twenty patients with chest pain the boundary values of troponin I were measured in two patients, without the increase of other myocardial damage markers. High value of troponin I was measured in two patients in non-ischemic myocardial damage (acute pericarditis), which agrees with data in scientific literature. The thesis shows that the level of troponin I reflects myocardial damage relatively accurately; troponin I is sufficiently cardio specific but is not a sufficiently early marker. For early management of acute myocardial infection it is important to determine myoglobin, which is detectable within two hours since the beginning of troubles but is not sufficiently cardio specific. The course of CK-MB mass elevation wave copies the course of troponin I elevation wave. That is why the investigation of this marker appears to be excessivet at current investigation of troponin I and myoglobin to prove myocardial damage, which is in agreement with scientific association recommendations.

International trade with fresh fruit and vegetables
Laketić, Aleksandar ; Štěrbová, Ludmila (advisor) ; Halík, Jaroslav (referee)
The main goal of my Master´s thesis is to evaluate dynamic environment of international trade with fresh fruit and vegetables. In the first part of my thesis I analyzed importance of the production of fresh fruit and vegetables for economies of selected countries. Next I had described the trade flows and patterns. In the second part I made a characterization of payment terms and trade negotiations in the context of international trade with fresh fruit and vegetables. Furthermore I made an analysis of import and export rules and regulations of the EU. Based on this analysis I came to general conclusions on the trade policies of countries and communities. In the last part of my thesis I applied findings from the previous parts on the analysis of two cases. The first analyzed case is the situation of imports of Chinese pomelo to the EU, with regards to maximal residue levels of pesticides. Second analyzed case is the situation of South African citruses imported to the EU, with regards to the problematic of citrus black spots.
