Král, Ondřej ; Malá, Ivana (advisor) ; Bílková, Diana (referee)
This thesis examines the issues of analysis of statistical power of a test. It introduces a subject of hypotheses testing which is closely related. The goal is to expose the effect of parameters' alteration on the power test size. By using an application on examples, the thesis graphically illustrates the differences caused by the parameters' alteration. The results show how is the power of a test influenced by the effect of type one error, type two error, the number of observations, the formulation of alternative hypothesis and effect size on test power. The thesis further elaborates on effect size forms. In conclusion, all the explained theories are tested by an example that illustrates the size, which is achieved by changing the parameter.

Legal protection of databases
Šlajerová, Martina ; Boháček, Martin (advisor) ; Menčl, Jakub (referee)
The rising importance of technological development especially in Europe and the USA, which are the largest producers of databases, requires an internationally unified regulation for the protection of databases. The aim of this thesis is to present these issues and highlight the shortcomings of the current and proposed legislation in order to determine adequate legal protection of databases and how this can be achieved. The first chapter provides an overview of the definitions and the basic concepts. This includes the protection of databases by copyright and the sui generis right and a list of criteria in order to establish adequate legal protection. The second chapter outlines the legal protection of databases in the European Community, including the current legal system, its benefits and drawbacks and alternative protection to sui generis. Additionally the theories and current judicial practice are presented to further clarify the issue. The third chapter deals with the alternative legal protection to copyright of databases in the U.S. that in many ways differs from the European legislation. Similarly both copyright and database protection alternatives are presented in terms of legislation, case law and theories relevant to this area. The fourth and last chapter focuses on the international regulation of databases, and any potential changes in international regulation with regard to protecting databases. Moreover theories and rulings in this area are presented. Finally all the important points of this thesis are summarized and adequate legal measures for the protection of databases are suggested based on the advantages and disadvantages of the current forms of protection and judicial practice.

Grossová, Lenka ; Hubáček, Ondřej (referee) ; Opletalová, Lenka (advisor)
Social marketing is the use of marketing principles to influence human behavior to improve health or benefit society. It is the systematic application of marketing to achieve specific behavioral goals for a social good. I'm describing three types of social marketing - social advertising, marketing in non-profit organzations, hybrid forms between social and commercial marketing. Leading topic in my rigorous paper was social advertising, because of lack of the literature about this theme in the Czech Republic. The social advertising is a cultural phenomenon, the objective of which is to point out the problems of society and to change the public attitude and behaviour. These objectives are reached by the same principles and strategies used in the commercial advertising. While the submitters of the social advertising are mostly non-profit organizations, even more private companies are involved in Corporate Social Responsibility programme, trying to reach not only their company (commercial) goals but also the sociality beneficial goals in order to distinguish from the competition. The marketing instrument which puts on the notifications about this activity into the company communication strategy is called Cause Related Marketing. Considering the social advertising in the Czech Republic (or CSSR) we can only talk...

Konvalinková, Kateřina ; Rychtecký, Antonín (advisor) ; Hošek, Václav (referee)
3 Summary The deployment of soldiers on foreign missions can be accompanied by both mental and physical strain. Consequently, it is necessary to search for alternative ways of preventing any adverse phenomena and keeping the soldiers in a good mental and physical form. The possible action seems to be the creating of such conditions on military bases that would match soldiers' existing standards of living and ensure sufficient number of motion and leisure time activities. The title of the thesis: The dynamics of participation in leisure time activities by soldiers on foreign missions in dependence on their current mental states The objective of the thesis: - To examine whether there exists a relationship between performing sports and other leisure time activities and the dynamics of experiencing mental states during a mission; - To diagnose changes in mental states of observed persons; - To find the most frequent stress factors influencing soldiers on military bases and to map out possibilities for leisure time activities. Research question: Does the length of deployment and the related changes of soldiers' mental states influence their participation in leisure time activities? Does a military base offer sufficient choice of facilities for leisure time activities? Working hypotheses: H1: The intensity and...
