Implementation of the Financial and Property Analysis of Municipalities Using Open Source BI Tools
Černý, Ondřej ; Novotný, Ota (advisor) ; Pour, Jan (referee)
The objective of this thesis is a complete implementation of the Financial and Property Analysis of Municipalities (FAMA) methodology using open-source Business Intelligence (BI) tools. The FAMA methodology was developed at the Institute of Public Administration and Regional Development at University of Economics in Prague and monitors wide range of aspects of management of municipalities. The main objective of this work is to create an application that would allow users to clearly analyze the management of municipalities with indicators of this methodology, using open source BI tools. The first, theoretical part, consists of two parts. The first half of the theoretical part of this thesis is devoted to the analysis of municipal finances and describes the FAMA methodology itself. Furthermore, methods used by the Ministry of Finance to evaluate municipalities are described. The second half of the theoretical part introduces readers to principles and components used in BI, some of which are used in the actual implementation. The second, practical part, initially deals with selection of suitable open-source BI tools and these tools are subsequently used to create an application that is used to analyze the management of municipalities. The implementation itself is divided into several parts. Firstly an initial study is performed, which is based on analysis of source data and user requirements. Based on the initial analysis, data warehouse is designed. Subsequently, an ETL project is created to process financial reports of municipalities and store them in the data warehouse. After filling the data warehouse, several OLAP cubes are created, which are used for multidimensional data analysis and finally, the presentation layer of the application is introduced and suitable graphical outputs for data presentation are designed. The main contribution of this thesis is the actual implementation of the FAMA methodology using the selected tools. The solution includes all indicators of the methodology and covers financial data of all municipalities of the Czech Republic in the years 2001 to 2012. Due to the scope of this work, a complete solution was made, that is ready for use.

The relationship between an attorney and his client under the contract of mandate
Dočekal, Petr ; Patěk, Daniel (advisor) ; Horáček, Vít (referee)
67 The relation between the attorney-at-law and his client based on the mandate contract In my dissertation I have described the relation between the attorney-at-law and his client based on the mandate contract and the legal regulations, what refers about it. This relation is established generally by signature of the contract of rendition of legal aid, but sometimes the relation between attorney-at-law and client comes into being by the decision of court or by institution of Czech bar association. At the beginning of my dissertation I explicated the notions as attorney-at-law, client, mandate contract and then in the most important chapter the content of this relation. It means discretions and duties, what have the subjects of this relation. All of these discretions and duties are defined in the Advocacy Act, in the Commercial Code and in professional regulations of the Czech bar association for example Ethics Code, Disciplinary Code or Layer's fee. I mentioned about the duty of the attorney-at-law to defend and promote of the interests of client, duty to give notice to the client, duty to behave conform the client's suggestions, duty to reticence, duty to have the adequate documentation, duty to insure against the responsibility for damage, discretion of the fee - contract fee or noncontractual fee and so...

Termination of Employment under Conditions of the European and Czech Law
Bártová, Tereza ; Spirit, Michal (advisor) ; Toušová, Jana (referee)
Bachelor's work is engaged in a dismissal of employees under conditions of Czech legal regulations whose nature has been influenced by the entry of the Czech Republic to the European Union. Problems around leakage are currently very actual with respect to the contemporary economic situation. In the first part of the work I am describing the basic characteristic features of the employment relationship. I am focusing on determination of particular items of this relationship on whose principles I am also leaning in the following chapters. Furthermore the work is devoted to the changes in the scope of termination of employment which lawmakers have accepted in connection with issuance of new labour code, so the code which came into effect on 1 January 2007. The main part of the work is concerned with the termination of employment. To be more specific it is about determination of the term "termination of employment", the respective legal regulation from which the termination of employment results and also about particular ways of the termination of employment, especially from the side of an employer, which Czech employees can get in touch with.

FRANCHISING FROM MICROECONOMIC AND MACROECONOMIC PERSPECTIVE AND ANALYSIS OF THE POTENTIAL AND BENEFITS IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC
Hodáková, Ľubica ; Munzi, Tomáš (advisor) ; Vostrovská, Zdenka (referee)
The aim of the work was to analyze franchising from economic point of view. The content of theoretical part of the work is basic franchising terminology, historical analysis of franchising as the distribution model and entrepreneur method and subsequently the work is focused on micro economical and macro economical analysis of franchising. One of the theoretical aims of the work was to clarify relationship of franchising and others distribution models. Franchising is interesting issue from legal point of view as well, because franchising contract is not contained in commercial code as a special contractual type. Analysis of legal aspects of franchising was limited by the scope of the work. In practical part of the work was the aim to express positive effects of franchising on credit-crunch, development of small and medium-scale enterprises and development of municipalities in connection with "agency theory" and other aspects. The work presumes future development of franchising with respect to actual global financial crisis.

Gas Microsensors Based on Self-Organized 3D Metal-Oxide Nanofilms
Pytlíček, Zdeněk ; Husák, Miroslav (referee) ; Kolařík, Vladimír (referee) ; Prášek, Jan (advisor)
This dissertation concerns the development, fabrication and integration in a gas sensing microdevice of a novel 3-dimensional (3D) nanostructured metal-oxide semiconducting film that effectively merges the benefits of inorganic nanomaterials with the simplicity offered by non-lithographic electrochemistry-based preparation techniques. The film is synthesized via the porous-anodic-alumina-assisted anodizing of an Al/Nb metal bilayer sputter-deposited on a SiO2/Si substrate and is basically composed of a 200 nm thick NbO2 layer holding an array of upright-standing spatially separated Nb2O5 nanocolumns, being 50 nm wide, up to 900 nm long and of 8109 cm2 population density. The nanocolumns work as semiconducting nano-channels, whose resistivity is greatly impacted by the surface and interface reactions. Either Pt or Au patterned electrodes are prepared on the top of the nanocolumn array using an innovative sensor design realized by means of microfabrication technology or via a direct original point electrodeposition technique, followed by selective dissolution of the alumina overlayer. For gas-sensing tests the film is mounted on a standard TO-8 package using the wire-bonding technique. Electrical characterization of the 3D niobium-oxide nanofilm reveals asymmetric electron transport properties due to a Schottky barrier that forms at the Au/Nb2O5 or Pt/Nb2O5 interface. Effects of the active film morphology, structure and composition on the electrical and gas-sensing performance focusing on sensitivity, selectivity, detection limits and response/recovery rates are explored in experimental detection of hydrogen gas and ammonia. The fast and intensive response to H2 confirms the potential of the 3D niobium-oxide nanofilm as highly appropriate active layer for sensing application. A computer-aided microfluidics simulation of gas diffusion in the 3D nanofilm predicts a possibility to substantially improve the gas-sensing performance through the formation of a perforated top electrode, optimizing the film morphology, altering the crystal structure and by introducing certain innovations in the electrode design. Preliminary experiments show that a 3D nanofilm synthesized from an alternative Al/W metal bilayer is another promising candidate for advanced sensor applications. The techniques and materials employed in this work are advantageous for developing technically simple, cost-effective and environmentally friendly solutions for practical micro- and nanodevices, where the well-defined nano-channels for charge carriers and surface reactions may bring unprecedented benefits.

Flow Parameters Simulation Technique in Annular Turbine Cascade INLET
Jelínek, T. ; Němec, M. ; Uruba, Václav
This article summarizes the concept of equipment which produces the required flow parameters at the inlet of annular turbine cascade. The investigation of inlet flow parameters - the boundary layer on hub and tip inlet channel end-walls and the inlet flow turbulence are part of a project intent on a flow in multistage steam turbine arrangement. This variable inlet can produce the laminar or turbulent boundary layer, respectively the laminar or fully turbulent velocity profile in the inlet channel. The change of inlet turbulence level is controlled by the grid. The detailed measurement of inlet flow: the turbulence and the total pressure distribution across the height of inlet channel were performed by HWA (hot wire anemometry) probe and by total pressure probe, respectively. The measurement results characterize the inlet flow for several inlet channel arrangements and are used for the experimental investigation of the flow field inside the stage and as the inlet parameters for CFD simulations.

On the recirculation zone suppression behind HUMP profile using the DBD actuator
Procházka, Pavel P. ; Uruba, Václav
Previously, the DBD (dielectric barrier discharge) plasma actuator was used in rectangular channel to modify the properties of the boundary layer in spanwise and in streamwise orientation. The actuator was redesigned for using on the surface of the Glauert-Goldschmied body in different position to influence the point of the separation and the reattachment point as well as the total extent of the separation bubble. The most intensive effect occurs when the actuator takes effect in the point of separation. Further downstream, the ionic wind produced by DBD causes complex coherent structures in the wake for spanwise orientation in both direction. The effect of streamwise orientation is studied also. Actuator is operated in steady regime to produces continuous ionic wind as well as in unsteady regime when the vortex street is generated. The properties of vortex street is given by modulation parameters (frequency and duty cycle). The effect of these parameters on the wake is evaluated. This experiment is realized in the perspex channel connected to the blow-down wind tunnel. The HUMP profile is flush-mounted to the bottom side. The wire electrode of the actuator is situated in x/L = 0.63, 0.66, 0.69 and 0.72 of the chord length. The time-resolved PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry) is used as a main measurement technique. The flow field behind the profile is captured in longitudinal plane as well as in cross-section planes using 3D PIV. The results based on statistical quantities will be presented in this paper. More, next part will be devoted to the decomposition analysis of the flow dynamics (BOD, OPD).
