Selected lifestyle factors of the child at the beginning of school attendance (5th and 7th year of life) - the importance of family
HECZKOVÁ, Petra
Lifestyle is one of the most important factors with respect to population health. By keeping to the principles of healthy lifestyle in children we are investing in important patterns in their future lives. Future population health status is closely related to these ,,investments''. The objective of presented bachelor work ,,Selected lifestyle factors of a child at the beginning of school attendance (the 5th and 7th years of life) - the importance of family'' is to characterize parental influence in keeping to selected healthy lifestyle principles and, at the same time, to show ways how parents spend free time with their pre-school and early school-aged children in the context of healthy lifestyle. The impulse for selecting the topic of the presented work was the interest in finding how specific factors influence the child's lifestyle and in finding out whether the parents realize this influence. As a principal method for my work I selected quantitative questionnaire survey approach. A study sample consisting of children at the age of 5 and 7 years and their parents was selected. The sex of children was not considered. The study sample size corresponds with the longitudinal character of the study and is completely satisfactory as far as statistical analysis and hypotheses testing is concerned. The exact number of participants at the age of 5 is 3034 and at the age of 7 is 2781. The goal of the study was to characterize - using secondary data from the ELSPAC study - the parental influence in keeping to selected healthy lifestyle principles and, at the same time, to present ways how parents spend free time with their pre-school and early school-aged children in the context of healthy lifestyle. The 5th and 7th years of life characterize the beginning of school attendance. I established three hypotheses (related to the determined goals) in which I presume the following: parental education influences the choice of interests and ways how a child spends his/her free time at the beginning of school attendance, children's lifestyle copies lifestyle of parents, the amount of time which the parents spend with their child decreases with the child's age. The first hypothesis was partially confirmed and the survey demonstrated that the mothers' education does have an effect on some of the monitored free time activities of a five-year-old child. The second hypothesis was confirmed completely. The survey demonstrated an important effect of the mother on the pre- and early-school aged child's lifestyle. The father-child activities are limited to those in which a definite effect on the child's lifestyle cannot be confirmed. The third hypothesis was also completely confirmed. It was confirmed that the amount of parent-child activities diminishes when compared in five- and seven-year-old children. The benefit of this work is that it gives an indication of the family's influence on the lifestyle of a child at the beginning of school attendance and its possible use in the area of preventive medicine, with respect to increasing numbers of overweight children with diminished physical performance. Accentuating prevention in basic elements of healthy lifestyle is crucial, especially as it should carry over to everyday family life, targeting primarily parents. The parents should be informed about the magnitude of the impact their own behavior and lifestyle can have on their children's future health status and life in general.

Simple Experiments with Naturally Occurring Materials in Chemistry Education: Support of Empirical Method and Development of Related Competences
Böhmová, Hana
of Ph.D. Thesis Simple Experiments with Naturally Occurring Materials in Chemistry Education: Support of Empirical Method and Development of Related Competences Mgr. Hana Böhmová The doctoral thesis is focused on the problem of gaining empirical knowledge in chemistry education, on the acquirement of related competences, and on the activities which would contribute to the improvements in chemistry education in this area. The aims set in the first part of the thesis were fulfilled. I have confirmed the insufficient level of the competences acquirement among the Czech students, such as formulation and verification of a hypothesis, planning and carrying out a simple experiment, interpretation of collected data or drawing conclusions. Main cause of this problem could be insufficient opportunity to develop these competences in school chemistry (or science) education at ground and high school level. Experimental activities of individual students are rare in Czech chemistry lessons. The teachers quote that the main problem responsible for this situation is missing equipment for practical activities in their schools and absence of suitable school experiments reflecting the given safety directives. Considering these findings, I have created a set of simple chemistry experiments utilizing natural products and...

Planning Private Business Start-Up
El Alioui, Safaa ; Hrůzová, Helena (advisor) ; Halík, Jaroslav (referee)
The main objective of the thesis is to use several managerial tools in order to plan how to start a private Moroccan-Czech business in the Czech Republic. In order to achieve this goal, the main objective was subdivided in a set of partial goals. To start a business includes firstly to have an idea and to consider its viability through a feasibility study before planning its execution. Secondly, to support the startup process from the procedural point of view, it is reasonable to use project management since it revealed processes that are common to any project lifecycle: initiation, planning, execution, control and closure. The application of these processes helps to create a structured action plan. In order to answer all questions, the thesis is divided in three steps. In the first one, project management is explained as well as its concepts and processes and application method. The second step describes the methodology of a startup business; and the third step is the achievement of the constructed methodology in a real business planning, that is monitored and evaluated continuously. The result of the thesis is a business idea verified as viable through a feasibility study. Then a business plan is prepared in order to detail the opportunity, strategy and financial expectations; this document is a key to find investors, funding or associates and should consider potential risks and how to avoid or solve them. When the financial and material requirements are met, the legal and administrative procedures as well as the company installation can start. The thesis also includes a time schedule and budget to every activity which have to be respected and continuously controlled during the business operation executing. However, some risks may appear during the project, and a good preparation and planning means keeping in mind the project's achievement.

Novotný, Petr ; Dvořáková, Vladimíra (advisor) ; Němec, Jan (referee)
How can funding of political parties affect the outcome of elections? What impact has the legislation on financing political parties on political system? Is it possible that the government's political parties using this scheme remain in power? I will bring in this work the current theoretical background by leading experts on financing of political parties, as well as a separate chapter on giving patterns, showing signs of functionality and portability to other political systems. Finally, I will analyze trends of legislative funding of political parties in the Czech Republic, the current adjustment and its impact on the Czech political system. In all areas, I will try to identify the basic areas of problems and dilemmas. I will outline possible solutions where appropriate, to which I result of studying the theory, or of my own invention. In conclusion the objective of such analysis is to monitor and verify the following hypotheses. 1. Amendments to legislation are intended to enhance the transparency of the financing of political parties and to prevent corrupt behavior. 2. The funding of political parties tends to strengthen their cartelization, i.e. making access of political parties outside the establishment to high politics difficult. 3. The legislation meets the basic requirements placed on it, its implementation is feasible and its compliance is enforceable. The keywords are: the funding of political parties, (mainland) horizontal contribution, (Canadian) system of tax credits, (German) matching funds, contribution to the work, contribution to the electoral costs, contribution to the mandate, the Constitutional Court.

Formulation of the requisition for services related to Internet communication
Langr, Lukáš ; Gála, Libor (advisor) ; Kafka, Daniel (referee)
In this work, I would like to focus on the issue related to the formulation of requirements for the delivery of services related to Internet communications, specifically to its most common form - websites. The goal of my work is to introduce the aspects of the implementation of the web pages (from basic business presentations to complex web applications such as e-shop or community site) to creators of the requisition, who are prepared to enter the world of the Internet. Provide them with an overview across the typical features of web applications to be able to formulate their own requirements for a successful website. The knowledge will serve them in the choice of supplier of the solution and also in the first stage of the subsequent implementation. The opening part of my work will be dedicated to description of the basic services related to Internet communications, such as internet service providing or applications hosting on dedicated servers. In the next chapter is already focusing on the specification of the requisition for the delivery of services related to the development and maintenance of websites. This includes the definition of those services, clarification of the types of websites and applications. While we are formulating any kind of requisition, it is important to follow certain procedures and forms. For this reason, I dedicated one of the chapters to specifications of the structure of a typical requisition document related to web applications. In the finals chapters, I will focus on the requisition for websites from different perspectives, such as the graphic appearance, functionality, accessibility and usability, security and ultimately the running web applications and internet marketing.

The diaries of Zdenka Braunerová (1873-1883)
Šámal, Martin ; Hojda, Zdeněk (referee) ; Ebelová, Ivana (advisor)
Zdenka Braunerová je v povědomí širší veřejnosti zapsána jako česká výtvarnice, malířka. Přestože sama sebe vnímala a považovala za krajinářku, významná a mnohem více ceněná je především její tvorba v oblasti knižní grafiky. Její přínos a význam pro české umění je dokonce přirovnáván k významu Boženy· Němcové pro českou literaturu. Mnohem méně je již známa skutečnost, že se jedná o první plně profesionální českou malířku. Rozhodnutí stát se nezávislou a soběstačnou umělkyní a především pak jeho realizace, však narážely na zažité představy o postavení a funkci ženy ve společnosti. Z tohoto důvodu se stala jakýmsi symbolem vzepření se proti dobovým konvencím či maloměšťáctví. V minulosti bylo napsáno mnoho biografických, umělecko-historických či populárně naučných publikací, studentských prací i odborných článků zabývajících se životem či jednotlivými aspekty života této malířky. Přesto zájem o život a dílo Zdenky Braunerové neutichá, což lze vysvětlit nejen významem této osobnosti pro českou kulturu, ale také specifičností jejího života, který stále láká k novému zkoumání a objevování nových souvislostí. Vliv na badatelský zájem má nepochybně také neuvěřitelně rozsáhlá pozůstalost rozptýlená po mnoha českých i zahraničních institucích. Toto mimořádně pestré bohatství není stále ještě zcela vytěženo a láká...
