Elaboration and introduction of the method for determination of some proteins
Hruzík, Ondřej ; Buňka, František (referee) ; RNDr.Karel Gebauer (advisor)
Core protein of aggrecan has a significant share on the correct function of articular cartilage. Its lack or structural failure could be the reason for the disfunction of the cartilage. The culture of chondrocytes taken from a pork articular cartilage was used for the study of aggrecan production. The monolayer culture method offers the model system which has enabled us to watch the aggrecan production into growth medium. The aggrecan synthesis was stimulated in the media with addition of L-methionin, L-serin and sodium selenite pentahydrate. Methionin and serin are antecedents of sulphur amino acid of cysteine, whose role is incredibly important for the correct function of core protein. Growth media and chondrocytes were analysed with the help of the automatic amino acids analyzer unit after acid or oxidative hydrolysis. The analyse established the amino acid representation. The main attention was paid to cysteine. The changing concentrations of this amino acid were showing if the antecedents in the addition are used for its production and, therefore, if it is possible to stimulate the production of core protein with these antecedents. The results are discussed in the conclusion of this thesis. The next step should be the detection of the concentration of synthesized aggrecan by the immunological method. Presently this method is very expensive. Therefore, the method of setting the core protein of aggrecan with the help of suitable amino acid was used for the first tests.

Use of social networking sites to support virtual teamwork in organization
Švec, Pavel ; Kunstová, Renáta (advisor) ; Benáčanová, Helena (referee)
The thesis is focused on utilization of social networking sites as a tool for virtual team collaboration support. The first goal is to identify critical success factors of virtual teamwork, which are currently not supported by groupware tools, based on description of virtual team characteristics and processes. Identified critical success factors represent the basis for the completion of next goal, which is to describe aspects of social networking sites, which are able to support the identified critical success factors. That leads to the main goal of the thesis, which consists of two main parts. First part is the analysis of social networking sites aspects influence on virtual teamwork critical success factors. The second part is the practical solution of utilization of social networking sites for virtual teamwork support. Final solution includes all social networking sites implementation phases starting from choosing the product, implementation process and ending with setting of team processes and utilization principles. Social networking sites aspects description is based on current enterprise information systems trends and the final solution results from the analysis and synthesis of findings from both previous thesis parts. The main contribution of the thesis is the solution of social networking sites utilization inside the organization and providing of practical instructions for implementation of social networking sites in order to support virtual teamwork.

Social and economic aspects of population ageing of the Czech Republic
Šimková, Martina ; Langhamrová, Jitka (advisor) ; Krebs, Vojtěch (referee) ; Ondruš, Vítězslav (referee)
This dissertation thesis deals with an economic evaluation of population ageing in the Czech Republic. The emphasis is put on statistical and economic factors. The issue of population ageing is very wide and it affects many areas of human life. Therefore, it should be perceived in its range. The substance lies in continuity among economic area, health, education, housing, retirement policy and migration policy. Both macroeconomic and social effects of changes in the demographic structure of population should be regularly evaluated. Impacts of demographic ageing are both qualitative and quantitative. Qualitative relate to personal life, good health in old age, ensuring an adequate living standard and security of older persons. Similarly, quantitative impacts cover sustainability of funding of the pension system and social and health care systems. The thesis focuses on important factors that are often neglected and that can represent the threat to the proper function of society. On the contrary, there can be found factors acting positively e.g. the issue of labour immigration or integration of older people into the labour market. This dissertation thesis also provides complex statistical and economic view on the issue of population ageing including all key factors and effects on pensions, health, social and demographic area. The aim of the thesis lies is in the synthesis of important factors connected with population ageing and provides statistical assessment of the issue. The thesis provides procedures and methods that are innovative in the Czech Republic.

Using total factor productivity benchmarking in tariff regulation of network industries
Machek, Ondřej ; Hnilica, Jiří (advisor) ; Soukup, Jindřich (referee) ; Baláž, Peter (referee) ; Strachota, Luboš (referee)
Incentive regulation and benchmarking are becoming frequently used tools in tariff regulation of public utilities, including natural gas distribution companies. We present a review of existing approaches to economic regulation using benchmarking models, their advantages and disadvantages and discuss practical experience with these methods. The work also includes a comparison of the total factor produktivity (TFP) approach with frontier-based methods such as data envelopment analysis or corrected ordinary least squares and discussion of the differences, possible weaknesses and misinterpretation of results. Consequently, we analyze the development of total factor productivity of Czech natural gas distribution companies with other industries (water and sewerage, electricity distribution and transmission) using index analysis. The main outcome of the dissertation thesis is the discussion of the applicability of TFP benchmarking in the conditions of the Czech energy market, a synthesis of findings, discussion of associated issues, assumptions and recommendations for implementation of TFP benchmarking into the tariff regulation of Czech energy industries.
