Frantisek Weyr and Statistics
Černoušek, Lukáš ; Závodský, Prokop (advisor) ; Kačerová, Eva (referee)
This work is oriented to the statistics and the famous Czech actor in it,Frantisek Weyr. The aim of bachelor thesis is to provide comprehensive information about the life and work of an important lawyer, philosopher, scholar,and statistics Frantisek Weyr and theory emphasize its impact on Austria-Hungary and the Czechoslovak statistics. In addition, work will also be discussing the actual statistics and the development of concrete. Work will be only theoretical, no independent research it will not commit.To achieve the objective of the work will be used solely literary sources from the statistics and the very famous three-part biography Frantisek Weyr. The benefits of work I see that students and people in this area will provide more complete picture of Franz Weyr in the context of statistics,it's either find a statistical production, which is mentioned in passing the Weyr or available already mentioned Weyr CVs, which, however, outside statistics in particular, writes about his private life, his foreign travels and his work as a university teacher. When writing a thesis I concluded that though Weyr primarily known as a great lawyer and a university official, its influence is enormous and the statistics of its activities throughout the State Statistical Office has brought many significant achievements, which can not be forgotten. While the focus of its activities outside the statistics, I would like to say that the statistics are and should be with her still associated.

Analysis of correspondence to Josef Hlávka (Communication strategies, stylization of one Czech maecenas and self-stylization of the letter-writters)
Pavlíček, Tomáš ; Pokorná, Magdaléna (referee) ; Štaif, Jiří (advisor)
Dnešní komunikační možnosti a prostředky se nám mohou zdát mnohem vyspělejší a vzdálené od písemné komunikace v 19. století, na jehož konci se telefon teprve velice pomalu dostává do soukromého užívání. Přesto principy zdvořilostních a komunikačních norem jsou univerzálně platné v jakékoliv společnosti či kultuře. Mění se jen normy a řečové modely. Člověk, který ví, jak komunikovat, ovládá různé postupy a prostředky, dokáže úspěšně dosáhnout svých cílů, ale i rozvíjet mezilidské vztahy. Úroveň, normy a modely komunikace také ukazují mnoho o mentalitě a každodenním životě určité lidské společnosti. Předkládám tuto práci s trojím očekáváním. Prvním záměrem je zdůraznit přínos interdisciplinárního přístupu ke korespondenci jako pramenu historikovy práce. Pokusím se vysvětlit, že různé formy písemné komunikace nelze zjednodušeně chápat jako historický text zahrnující v sobě "pravdivá fakta", která historik odkryje čtením a zahrne je do svého příběhu. Badatel by se neměl spokojit pouze s pozitivistickou textovou kritikou! Při interpretaci dopisů se nabízí použít psychologické metody k poznání záměru autora dopisu, jeho charakteru a vlastností, stereotypů jednání apod. Zároveň je potřeba odlišovat psychofyzickou osobu adresáta od jeho obrazu, který má autor dopisu při produkci komunikace (při psanQ "před očima" a...

California Proposition 187 - The American Immigration Discussion in 1990's
Kučerová, Lenka ; Calda, Miloš (advisor) ; Korytová Magstadt, Štěpánka (referee)
Immigration - legal and illegal - has been an important issue throughout the United States history. One of the periods of high interest in immigration and related themes occurred during the 1990's, especially between years 1994 and 1996. The controversial Proposition 187 restricting the illegal immigrants' access to welfare benefits and state education passed in California in November 1994 was the first anti-immigrant measure of this period. The state of California became once again a ''trendmaker" in the immigration policy of the United States. Nevertheless, California is rather unique among the states of the Union with its substantially high share of foreign born population and great ethnic diversity. The goal of the thesis was to analyze the immigration discussion in California in 1990's on the example of Proposition 187 passed in 1994 in a referendum and evaluate the impact of the discussion on the federal legislative and the federal immigration debate. The first task was to describe the demographic situation and development in California in the first half of the 1990's - its basic characteristics, and also the economical and social circumstances - and also introduce a brief history of California immigration. The California population has been changing very quickly since 1980's and the share of...

Emplyee benefits in a financial company
Grund, Martin ; Jindřich, Tomáš (advisor) ; Riebová, Jana (referee)
Employee benefits are gaining a stronger position as a compensation and motivation factor in every organisation. A high-quality employee benefits system can help attract new workers, maintain the current ones and harden their devotion towards their employer. If satisfied workers are one of the principles of a prosperous firm then employee benefits are a way of reaching this goal.

Compensation of expression as a problem of communication skills in relation to neurolinguistics and psycholinguistic aspects of second language acquisition
Lachout, Martin ; Kouřimská, Milada (advisor) ; Janíková, Věra (referee) ; Hendrich, Josef (referee)
The submitted work dwells on neurolinguistic and psychoíinguistic aspects of language learning and problems with application of compensative strategies in the process of language difficulties overcoming in the connection with Czech native speakers in German language. The work is divided into three parts. The first part presents theoretical basis of new interdisciplinary subjects of neurolinguistics and psycholinguistics. The second part is also theoretical and it is concentrated on compensative ability to express oneself in a foreign language. The third part is empirical and it bases on a research done at Prague and outside-Prague grammarschools with 176 respondents. According to thoroughly studied specialised literature and consultations with specialists in medicine and psychology, the author tries to deduce some practical conclusions, which could be used by teachers of foreign language teaching both children and adults. In the connection with a certain age human brain works with language in different ways. Human speech is produced not only by our centrál nervous systém but also by our Psyche. The process of verbal communication proceeds in human consciousness in incredible speed. And it is not the sole psychic process but the complex of mutually connected processes. The way in which speech is proceeded in...

Hosts and transmission of the crayfish plague pathogen Aphanomyces astaci
Svoboda, Jiří ; Petrusek, Adam (advisor) ; Maguire, Ivana (referee) ; Jussila, Japo (referee)
The crayfish plague pathogen, the oomycete Aphanomyces astaci, has been decimating populations of European crayfish species for more than 150 years, and is therefore considered one of the 100 worst world's invasive species. A. astaci is highly specialised for a parasitic life, but it can be isolated from moribund crayfish and grown on synthetic media, as it is the case also for several other oomycetes (chapter 7). The life of A. astaci includes three basic forms: mycelium in host's tissues, and the infective units occurring in water, zoospores and cysts. All North American crayfish species tested so far have shown some resistance to A. astaci, i.e., they could carry the infection for long, serving as vectors of the pathogen. Massive sporulation from infected North American crayfish starts when the host is moulting, stressed, or dying (chapter 4). However, I could show in my experiments that some sporulation occurs even from apparently healthy and non-moulting American crayfish hosting A. astaci, so infected North American crayfish must be considered a permanent source of the infection (chapter 4). Five genotype groups of A. astaci have already been distinguished. Strains from a particular genotype group probably share the same original host crayfish species of North American origin. Nevertheless, they can...
