Reforma příjmů a výdajů rozpočtu Evropské unie dle principů teorie fiskálního federalismu
König, Petr
Objective of doctoral thesis is to propose reform of the EU budget so that its revenues and expenditures follow the principles of theory of fiscal federalism, respecting the so far achieved level of economic and political integration. Normative theory of public finance is based on the notion of market failures that have to be solved by three basic functions of public finance: allocation, redistribution and stabilisation. Theory of fiscal federalism follows up with principles that should be respected when searching for the most suitable level of government to provide the three mentioned functions. Allocation function should be decentralised while stabilisation and redistribution function should be centralised. Still, these principles may be adjusted according to the character of integration grouping in question. The doctoral thesis assess to what extent do revenues and expenditures of the EU budget follow the three mentioned principles. Expenditures are assessed according to five criteria: stabilisation function, redistribution function, cross-border externalities, economies of scale and homogeneity of preferences. Based on assessment according to these criteria, the author recommends following changes in EU budget expenditures. Market related measures and direct payments together with expenditures of rural development policy related to enhancing the quality of life in rural areas and diversification of rural economy should be decentralised. Also the programme "Competitiveness and innovation" supporting small and medium-sized enterprises should be abolished. On the other hand, the reform proposal recommends to increase expenditures on research and development of European relevance, trans-European networks, protection of external frontiers, management of migration flows and development aid. The proposal also suggest to establish common defence policy financing common military research and development together with equipment and procurement. Another significant proposal suggests to establish an European unemployment fund working as an instrument of automatic stabilisation and direct redistribution of the EU budget. Expenditure needs of the reformed budget are expressed in mathematical model at the level of 322,5 billions of euro, which represents 2,63 % GNI of EU-27 in 2007. Revenues were assessed according to these criteria: stabilisation function, vertical equity, horizontal equity, cross-boarder externalities and relation to EU policies. On the basis of the assessment, it was recommended to abolish the current own resource based on VAT. On the other hand, the traditional own resources and resource based on GNI meet the criteria of fiscal federalism. The author also assessed several alternative resources of EU budget. Of these, excise taxes on motor-fuel spirits for road and air transport and to lesser extent also the real VAT were recommended as most suitable for the EU budget.

The application is able to maximally exploit a similarity between versions of les to avoid redundancy of stored information. Application uses the method of Diff erential File Comparision (diff ), improved by additional smaller dividing entities. Contrary to the the classical di it recogizes also word and character diff erences. Precision of the di vary along a text le according to density and character of differences.

Horová Šímová, Lucie ; Vacek, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Vondráčková, Petra (referee)
Záměrné sebepoškozování představuje nutkavé jednání, které se vyskytuje zejména v období dospívání. Právě v tomto období se zvyšuje riziko experimentování a riskování v oblasti chování. Dospívající jedinec je tak vystaven mnoha rizikům a nebezpečím, kterým musí čelit a bojovat s nimi. Není-li na tyto okolnosti jedinec předem dostatečně připraven, může jim velmi snadno podlehnout. Sebepoškozování se pak pro dospívajícího často stává nástrojem na zvládání nebezpečných vlivů a nepříjemných pocitů. Přetrvávat může i několik let a sebepoškozování tak může v mnohých případech přerůst v jakousi formu "závislosti". Cílem práce je popsat fenomén záměrného sebepoškozování jako jednu ze specifických forem návykového chování, ověřit tak koncept nelátkové závislosti a poukázat na některé společné či podobné znaky se závislostmi látkovými.

Ancient Gods in Today's Advertising
Kohoutová, Alena ; Kepartová, Jana (advisor) ; Skopek, Robert (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with ancient mythology influence on advertising specifically with usage of remarkable characters' names in titles of companies and products.

Names of the gods and heroes are more frequently used with inner context in their Greek form rather than in Roman form and they are often written with no punctuation. Very common is usage of acronyms which bear resemblance to specific names, however, without any closer relation to the given mythological theme. Most comapny titles really have relatively traceable relation to the ancient myths, which is described in this work. Many of those companies have chosen their names because of the euphonious effect they possess. The research brought to light many appropriately used names related to various fields of business that have not been thoroughly exploited before, eg. name of Hercules. Also, findings unknown to the authors were made revealing eg. relation between Diana and nuts etc. Although it was not possible to embrace presence of all the names in mentioned titles, this work provides adequate insight into the matter of ancient Greco-Roman culture and its topicality as it is related...
