The Ethnic minorities in the Czech Republic
ZUNTOVÁ, Tereza
This thesis is concerned with The National Minorities in the Czech Republic and is divided into two complementary parts. In the theoretical part we can find mapped development of representation of a particular national minority in the territory of the nation since the formation of Czechoslovakia nation in 1918 till the presence that is subsequently described in details in the theoretical part. The issue is based not only on the professional literature, but on the statistic data and already done research concerning the certain topic as well. The study focuses on the living of the minorities in the territory of the country, on their cultural life and further on the quality of the integration into the majority society. The second part of the thesis is the practical part and it deals with the whole research that focuses on the major society and its point of view of cohabitation with the national minorities. The research is performed by the questionnaire.

Antonie Novopacká - The Woman of the Middle-Class Strata at the Turn of the 19th and 20th Century
Folková, Linda ; Županič, Jan (referee) ; Holubec, Stanislav (advisor)
This work is a historic-sociological study of middle class women and families during the 19th and 20th centuries, as applies to the life of Antonie Kučerová, née Novopacká. The estate of Antonie Novopacká, period magazines and primary and secondary literature were used as a basis for this work. From a young age girls were brought up to fulfil the role of wives and housewives and consequently their chief goal in life was to have a family. The status of wife was very important at that time. The situation of single women in society was complicated. Having children was an important attribute of married life, but young women were not prepared for this role at all, in comparison to young men, who it was assumed would have had some sexual experience. Little importance was placed on affection and sexuality in marriage during the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. During the 19th and 20th centuries families were dependent on the father, who fulfilled the role of provider and protector. If the father died the family frequently found life very difficult and consequently widows would try to find another partner in life. However, women were also an indispensible part of the family during this period, they took care of the day to day running of the household and naturally brought up the children,...

Detailed analysis of POD method applied on turbulent flow
Kellnerová, Radka ; Kukačka, Libor ; Uruba, Václav ; Jurčáková, Klára ; Jaňour, Zbyněk
Proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) on very turbulent flow inside the street canyon is performed. The energy contribution of each mode is yielded up. Also, physical meaning of the POD method is clarified. Particular modes of POD are assigned to the particular flow events like sweep event, vortex behind the roof or vor- tex at the bottom of street. Test of POD sensitivity on the length of data recording is done when the acquisition time increases up to its triple value. Test with decreasing sample frequency is executed. Further, interpola- tion of POD expansion coefficient is attempted in order to test possible increase in sample frequency and get new information about flow from the POD analysis. We tested linear and spline sort of interpolation and the linear one brought slightly better results.

Návrh na zlepšení situace rodinné farmy
Pelaj, Vladimír
PELAJ, V. The proposal for improving the situation of the family farm. Bachelor thesis. Brno: Mendelova univerzita, 2013 The aim of the thesis is to give a proposal for improving the situation of the farm Pelaj, which is focused on breeding of pigs. The work consists of the Theoretical part and the Practical part. The Theoretical part is elaborated on the basis of information obtained from the expert literature. The Practical part includes the analysis of the external and internal environment and the proposal for improving the current situation coming from the analysis. For the analysis of the internal environment the method of the key factors, the financial analysis and the SAP analysis were used. The results of the analysis of the current situation reveal that the appropriate way to improve the situation is to increase the volume of production greatly. That can be realized by purchasing of other premises and then their follow-up reconstruction. In the conclusion some steps that have been already done by the owners of the farm to improve its current situation are mentioned as well as the others that the owners are going to realize in the near future.

Traffic Accidents and their Impact on Revenues and Expenditures of the Czech Republic.
KROPÁČKOVÁ, Lenka
The main aim of my thesis is the analysis of the traffic accidents and their cause on the roads of the Czech Republic.The first part of my thesis deals with the theoretical outcome of this matter which is necessary for further cover of my work.It is followed up with a practical part in which all statistic data, that had been used for the assessment of the situation,have been worked out.The methods the data have been coverd are the endorsement method, method of sequence and the method of respected sequence. In the frame of this thesis the comparison of the Czech Republic with a chosen EU state has been done. The secondary aim of my thesis is to find out the impact of the accidents on the revenues of the state budget, particularly of the problematic groups that cause the accidents on the roads.In the last part of my thesis there is a summary of all analysed results of the matter and subsequently safety measures for potential improvement of the situation have been done.

Housing wealth and household indebtedness: Is there a household "financial accelerator"?
Disney, Richard ; Bridges, Sarah ; Gathergood, John
The ‘financial accelerator’ model when applied to households states that shocks to household balance sheets (primarily changes in house prices) amplify fluctuations in consumer spending by tightening or relaxing collateral constraints on borrowing.

Influencing of stress urinary incontinence of women by different physioterapy methods
ZERZÁNKOVÁ, Lucie
The topic of my bachelor's thesis is affecting the women stress incontinence using different physiotherapeutic methods. The thesis consists of a theoretical part and a practical part. The theoretical part covers the problematic of physiology and anatomy of the urinary system and pelvic floor. It also explains the theory of incontinence, diagnosis and treatment of the stress incontinence. Stress incontinence is a state in which one cannot intentionally regulate the urine drain using increased intrapelvic pressure. It is one of the most common women diseases. It is a multifactorial problem, because it causes not only physical, but also mental, social and even economic problems. Stress incontinence is a symptom which can have several causes. Under normal circumstances, the urethra reacts on increase of the intrapelvic pressure by increasing its own pressure and thus it is closed. Therefore it cannot leak the urine. If, however, the urethra is not in its physiologic place, which can be caused by a pelvic floor muscle malfunction, the urine is being leaked uncontrollably. The pelvic floor muscles are crucial part of the core stabilization system. They are very important stabilizers of the whole torso and together with diaphragm they ensure the proper breathing. The stress incontinence can be treated also using conservative and surgical methods. In most cases, the incontinence is treated using only passive methods, by using medicines and applying incontinence tools. In the worst cases, they are treated by a surgery. Women, however, have a possibility to treat the incontinence by physiotherapy. Using this treatment, the symptoms of incontinence can be eliminated or at least reduced to a manageable level. The incontinence can be prevented by doing particular exercises. The goal of the physiotherapy is to teach the women how the urinal system and mainly the pelvic floor work. To help them with the training of the activation and relaxation of the pelvic floor muscles and how to include them during the breathing together with the diaphragm. It is important to focus on the woman mentality. We are trying to support the proper self confidence of the women. The women have to be treated comprehensively and individually. The practical part of the thesis was done using qualitative research. Two patients suffering from stress incontinence were treated during the research. Based on the entrance kinesiologic analysis, an individual exercise plan was created for each of the patients. In the end, the output kinesiologic analysis was done. Mainly, the postural therapy, the flat foot therapy, techniques by Capova, therapy by Ludmila Mojzisova, etc. were used. It is clear from the results that the used therapy was successful and it was rated very well by the patients. According to the patients, the exercises had influence not only on their incontinence problems, but it also helped to improve their overall condition, both physical and mental.

Type of employment as a risk factor for morbidity of persons 45 to 65 years old
ZDĚNOVCOVÁ, Iveta
The theme of the Bachelor thesis is ?Type of employment as a risk factor for morbidity of persons 45 to 65 years old?. The thesis is separated into two parts, the theoretical part and the practical part. The theoretical part includes findings about work-related medical science, categories of employments, risk-factors of the working conditions, and corresponding precautions and the legislative about this issue. Further included is categorization the employments into "lead workers," "sedentary employments," and "motion employments." This part is done by secondary analysis of the data from specialized literature, specialized web sites and legal regulations. The practical part is divided into 3 sub-parts. In the first part I used the statistical data from UZIS to track the most common causes of hospitalization and death in the southern Bohemia region in 2011. In the second part of the research I used the information from a staff physician of the researched company about the illness of the employees, which I processed statistically and evaluated. The hypothesis "laboring professions has higher morbidity" has been confirmed. The third part of the research was evaluated by quantitative research, questioning, and question form. I distributed 50 forms, from which 38 came back so the return rate is 76%. The form consisted of 14 questions and was distributed among the employees of the company ZVVZ GROUP a.s. from Milevsko. The form was at first divided to respondents working in motion and respondents having a sedentary employment. From the research a hypothesis was confirmed, that the employees working in motion have higher morbidity.

Essay on Financial Innovation, Credit Constraints, and Welfare
Janíčko, Martin ; Chytil, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Tlustý, Adolf (referee) ; Pavelka, Tomáš (referee) ; Frait, Jan (referee)
The submitted thesis is composed of three different articles dealing with issues of financial innovation, credit constraints, and their impact on welfare. The first article treats the contemporary theoretical grasp of the interaction between the financial and real economies, focusing primarily on the role of modern financial innovation in the business cycle. For this purpose, a framework promoted by the Regulation School and Post Keynesians is frequently employed, whilst some other unorthodox streams and mainstream economics are partially discussed as well. All of them aspire -- either per se or under the pressure of the contemporary economic agenda -- to clarify the evolution of financial innovation and credit in the recent era. It is generally found that certain consensus across the schools of economic thought exists, but some of them have done a better job in predicting the consequences of the financial innovation for real economic activity than others. Further, two dynamic macroeconomic models are developed in order to, inter alia, identify the possible effects of extended credit availability presented in the former article on the example of the housing market, and simulate the effects of housing price changes on general welfare. Clearly, this part of the thesis exhibits the indirect consequences of financial innovation as, once again, being rather ambiguous: after having partially unleashed the unprecedented credit granting in the economy, impacting interest rates and loan-to-value ratios, with a subsequent impact on housing prices, it has also influenced credit constrained and unconstrained households in a different manner. Based on an analysis of the situation using partial and general equilibrium analytical frameworks, two somewhat different conclusions are drawn up with respect to the occurrence of various shocks in the models. Under the partial equilibrium framework the effects of relaxation of credit constraints are visible and quite straightforward, indicating relatively simple and intuitive relationship between the price appreciation and general welfare. This is primarily perspicuous for the credit constrained households. In the general equilibrium framework, on the other hand, the transitional dynamics of shock proliferation is more transparent and the impact on credit constrained vs. unconstrained households is more ambiguous and much different from the basic intuition used in the article anchored in the partial equilibrium toolbox.
