Financial Hedonism: American Consumerism and the Financial Crisis
Metzger, Andrew Michael ; Raška, Francis (advisor) ; Kozák, Kryštof (referee)
The American character is defined by a bigger, higher, faster mindset. Throughout its history, this has been the United States' great strength. In the 20th century, the bigger-higher-faster mentality produced a parade of American successes, attracting talented immigrants from across the globe and spurring a century of unparalleled invention and ingenuity. Two generations ago, bigger-higher faster stood for innovation: the jet airplane, the towering and beautiful skyscraper, or the efficiency of the assembly-line automobile. In today's America, defined by its consumeristic excess, biggerhigher- faster means bigger houses, higher debt, and faster gratification. The bigger-higher-faster mentality that has always defined America has cross-pollinated with another strain of Americana-consumerism-to calamitous results. The global financial crisis stands as example one of the disastrous results of Americans'consumeristic excess. While popular lore holds that the financial crisis is the product of greedy Wall Street bankers, avaricious speculators, and mendacious mortgage brokers, the primary perpetrator is the average American who lusted after a house far beyond his means, furnished it with fixings he could not afford, and paid for everything using easily available credit. For nearly a decade, banks gave platinum...

Urban solutions: One of the characteristic principles of building a 17th century gardens were compactness and ohraničenost with symmetrical osovým breakdown. Hence the layout of the project, which retains the original definition of walls and the existing historic buildings and a proposal for addressing the central axis line. The height does not interfere with your original schedule, only shelter pochůzí roof garden cafe than a wall and catches the attention so when viewed from the gardens. Architectural solution: The project deals with the revitalization and new functional use of existing buildings, architectural design specified parts of historic gardens and design of new buildings. Input object - in its efforts to tackle převahovala efficient use of existing buildings layout schedule. In 1.NP was proposed by Treasury, information, souvenirs and library room, all with appropriate facilities and sanitary facilities. In 2.NP is placed on classroom theoretical instruction with audiovisual equipment, lecture hall and an apartment manager, again with all appropriate facilities and sanitary facilities. Cold Greenhouse - proposed to change the functional use of the original space in order to create conditions for the holding of events (cultural and educational events). The space is complemented by facilities, facilities for the performing season and an open box with refreshments. Orange Garden - in accordance with the basic concept of the whole project is conceived as a garden hedge maze, consisting of (height 1m), which forces visitors to interact and discover corners of the garden, which appear as a relaxing oasis corners with orange trees and benches (4 corners of the sides), or with artistic artifacts - a bronze sculpture of orange (in the center of the labyrinth). Dutch Gardens - Garden appearance in the form of "hravého maze" again corresponds to the central idea of the project. Its dominant feature is a water element in the form of channels associating the Netherlands, which must be overcome by using bridges to pass through the central garden plastice or to the main entry. Grassed area of alternating beds of flowers are characteristic of the Netherlands. Building the garden cafe and gallery - the building with pochůzí roof. Layout compact object resulting from breakage area and shifting the wall, thus leading to the creation of the form of a labyrinth with many corners, which is suitable for café, and for the purpose of the gallery. Natural lighting is ensured throughout the area and sliding windows, combined with the upper band window around the perimeter of the building. Operation of cafes and galleries (Flower garden presentation and short-term seasonal exhibitions) is provided year round. Part of the communication kernel (stair + lift) in the center of the object is a bathroom, cleaning room, storage building and technical background, which runs to the shelter covering the hole in the ceiling plate. Open Space Café is focused on pohledové dominante Dutch mythological sculpture garden, while the intimate gallery space is turned into a labyrinth of green orange gardens. Pochůzí roof of the building is complemented by the water element, which connects the building with an area of Dutch gardens. Linking the orange garden is achieved prolínáním wall cafes with hedgerow labyrinth. Horticultural Greenhouse - in accordance with the basic concept is designed in the shape of water drops with the presentation of the beds výpěstk

Complications during pregnancy-Epidemiology and risk factors
Málek, Otakar ; Velebil, Petr (advisor)
Risk pregnancy is the term denoted to a pregnancy with a higher chance of developing a pathology than that of the normal population. Although risk pregnancies form 30% of all pregnancies only 20% to 30% of them actually develop a pathology. The higher than average risk can be present before conception or it is acquired during pregnancy. In order to identify risk factors general (medical history and physical examination) through specific screening is used. In case of a positive screening result specific prevention methods are applied. One of the late risk factors identified in pregnancies are sexually transmitted diseases, especially if their course is asymptomatic. Prevalence of urogenital chlamydia infections has been increasing, and various screening programs have been evaluated for their cost benefit ratio. Developed countries have introduced successful screening and preventive programs for hepatitis B infection. Also vertical transmission of HIV to the newborn is met by efficient preventive methods in developed countries. These methods, however, are not available in most of developing countries. Other than these there is also a serological screening for syphilis infections. There is no routine serological screening for the rest of sexually transmitted disease.

Can Salary Allocation Affect Winning Percentage In The National Hockey League?
Holeksa, Zachary Thomas ; Chytilová, Helena (advisor) ; Prokop, Jaromír (referee)
The purpose of this paper is to provide insight into the most efficient allocation of salary in the National Hockey League, with respect to the positional groups of forwards, defensemen, and goaltenders. With the hypothesis that the most efficient method by which to allocate salary is disproportional between the three groups, three different regressions are run. The results of the regressions and subsequent tests confirm the hypothesis that teams should perform better if they do not allocate their available salary proportionally. It is found, holding spending on goaltenders constant, that teams should perform better if they invest more in either forwards or defensemen. The results are in support of previous papers, written by Marchand et al. (2007) and Simmons & Berri (2011), that an egalitarian pay system is not ideal.

Doubravová, Lucie ; Rytířová, Lucie (advisor) ; Tepperová, Jana (referee)
This diploma thesis describes the topic of personal income taxation in the Czech Republic compared to the United States of America and on the case studies it compares the tax burden of the family with two children earning average income from employment in the Czech Republic and in the United States of America. The aim is to prove that the results comply with the OECD statistics saying that the tax burden difference between those two states is approximately the same. The fractional aim is to examine if the tax burden for the same family with the above-average employment income in the United States is much higher that it can be one of the motives why people enter or leave different labour markets. The second case study focuses on the differences in the taxation of the different tax return categories of the taxpayers and confirms the theory that the average benefit of 450 USD per year appears with taxpayers filing the married filing jointly tax return. The thesis also describes the international taxation basics with the Double tax treaty and the concepts of tax residence and taxation principles such as tax equity and efficiency.

Comparison of the Impact of Education on Economic Growth in Subregions of Europe
Vérosta, Denis ; Chytilová, Helena (advisor) ; Babin, Jan (referee)
This thesis examines the impact of investments in human capital via additional years of schooling on economic growth. The main aim is to verify the hypothesis about expected positive impact of additional year of schooling on economic growth in subregions of Europe and that the impact will be bigger in subregions of Northern and Western Europe. Human capital theory and economic theory of growth are introduced as well as theoretical model of economic growth that developed by author to analyse the impact. In order to investigate the theory on a data, an econometric model is introduced. The model assumes that the real GDP per worker depends on the stock of physical capital per worker and average years of schooling of worker. Data set that is used for the estimation consists of observations for 34 countries from 1955 to 2010 in 5 years intervals. Using OLS and TSLS estimation methods, 10 regressions are then run with two of them for the entire dataset and two of them being run for each subregion apart, for the purpose of comparison. The results of regression for the entire dataset confirm the expected positive impact of additional years of schooling in Europe region, the finding also agrees with the previous empirical literature (Bassanini and Scarpetta 2001, Soto 2009, Barro and Lee 2013) as well as with the theory of human capital and economic growth. In addition to this, the results of regressions that were run for subregions apart suggest that this impact is heavily related to the quality of education, which tends to be better in Northern and Western Europe, where the impact of additional years of schooling was confirmed separately as well. These findings correspond with the previous empirical literature of economic growth of Soto (2009) and Hanushek and Woessmann (2012), where the quality of education turned out to be crucial as well.
