Filipová Fuchsová, Regina ; Malý, Josef (advisor) ; Machková, Hana (referee) ; Přikrylová, Jana (referee) ; Peterka, Jiří (referee)
This doctoral thesis is focused on the most progressive part of telecommunications nowadays, on Internet governance and Internet domain name system. This field is not only highly interesting, but only very little researched area from the point of view of economics sciences compared to the traditional fields. Recently, the question of Internet governance was highlighted, but it has been neither resolved nor sufficiently discussed so far. The theory does not answer many questions raised by the praxis sufficiently. The aim of the thesis was to describe the branch in detail and to develop an original model, which would characterise the dependency of the number of registrations on other indicators. This doctoral thesis of Regina Filipova Fuchsova brings a detailed analysis of factors influencing the domain name system. This is the first analysis of this art ever, which targets top level domains .cz and .eu. Typology of TLD registries and connection of domain name selection with the company strategy are further new findings. Based on own analysis and case studies, the author concludes, that there is a relatively strong dependency of the number of registered domains under the respective TLD on national economy characteristics and that the model of the relationship of a ccTLD registry and respective government significantly varies in particular countries. This is due to the historical development and national specifics. The author further came to the conclusion, that national and generic TLDs are partially substitutes and partially complements on national markets. It depends on concrete market and the degree of ccTLD liberalisation, because generic TLDs act as substitutes to the country code TLD on not liberalised markets and/or where the ccTLD is rather expensive. As for the liberalised markets, the growth of a ccTLD goes hand in hand with the growth of gTLD and they compete less. National TLDs of the EU countries and the European TLD .eu show the nature of complements according to the statistical analysis. There are significant theoretical and practical contributions of this work because of its wide content and original analysis in this field. The findings can be practically used for registry benchmarking and ideas related to the delegation of new top level domains.

Králová, Hana ; Županič, Jan (advisor) ; Zářický, Aleš (referee) ; Tejchman, Miroslav (referee)
1 Mgr. Hana Králová Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Arts THE AUSTRO-HUNGARIAN FOREIGN SERVICE BETWEEN 1868-1918 Abstract Emerging from the reforms of the second half of the 18th century, the body of loyal civil servants gradually transformed itself into an efficient bureaucratic machine, which fully ensured the operation of the multinational Habsburg Monarchy until its disintegration. For many, a position within the civil service went hand in hand with attaining a certain prestige and rank within society, although the financial situation of lower and even mid - ranking civil servants was problematic at best. The foreign service, especially its diplomatic and central administration branch, undoubtedly ranked among the most prestigious parts of the civil service. Candidates, apart from being required to have the necessary level of educational attainment, were subject to a rigorous selection process focusing especially on their language skills. The diplomatic service also maintained its exclusivity by requiring candidates to provide proof of sufficient income, which limited access to candidates from among the wealthy elite, that is especially from among the traditional and new nobility a s well as from among the well-off individuals of bourgeois descent. The research has, however, also shown that...

SLEZÁKOVÁ, Markéta
In choosing the subject of this degree work I was led by the effort to give an exhaustive integral report on the development in the sphere of the social and health care and to analyze the facilities for social sevices in the region of Příbram. As it is not possible to evaluate the facilities for social services without the description of basic historical events, of current demographic indexes and without the indication of the future development, the historical part together with the specification of particular groups threatened with social exclusion (seniors and handicapped people) forms an indispensable chapter of the theoretical part of this degree work. In connection with the fact that the region of Příbram is a specific industrial locality with signs of changes in the original structure of the population, it is possible to state that the people moved herein show less family solidarity and unity with each other. For that reason more facilities for social services are at disposal in this region. It is the unity care service rendered not only in own homes but directly in the houses of the clients as well, that has the oldest tradition among all providers The family nursing care rendered by one of two organizations has already the tradition of more than 15 years too. As to the care of seniors, the most significant provider that is the allowance organization "Pečovatelská služba města Příbram". This organization offers field care service and runs the home for seniors.The service, that supports especially the security of the seniors in their households, that is AREÍON-Život 90 with about 50-60 clients.A great advantage is also the fact that a part of providers of social and associated services have the seat at the same place, in the Community Centre. As to the care of handicapped people the strongest point are the family care CHOPS and SANCO, the field care service and other services rendered by "Pečovatelská služba města Příbram", the activities of unions and organizations associating handicapped people, assistance services and consultancy, community centre Příbram VII, day centre in the town nursery school and in the rehabilitation short stay hospital It is not simple to prognosticate further development as to rendering social services a relatively active social policy on the local level and a large extent of collaboration among particular groups of those, who provide social services, are promising and hopeful for the future.An important role will play the fact whether these organizations will obtain sufficient financial means needed for ensuring the services, they offer, within the sphere of multisorce financing. The demand for services and staffs meeting the requirements fixed by the Act on social services will be of great importance too.

The Case of Colombia" deals with the engagement of the Colombian civil society in the peace negotiations with the Movement 19 (M-19) that took place in 1989-1990, with the National Liberation Army (ELN) in 1998-2002 and with the Armed Revolutionary Forces of Colombia (FARC) in 1999-2002. The examination of the selected peace processes revealed that the civil society had only limited impact on the negotiations. The involvement of the representatives of the civil society led to increase in number and extend of the objectives that were negotiated, decrease in the level of organization of the negotiations and while it did not reinforce the negotiating position of the main actors, it neither disposed with sufficient power to exert an effective pressure on the main actors of the conflict. The performance of the civil society was influenced by the external informal institutions - represented by traditional execution of power, clientelism, functioning of the political parties and continuing internal conflict - and by the internal informal institutions - namely by the characteristics of the colombian civil society and by the structure of incentives in the participative instances. The formal institutions - the Constitution and the laws - proved to have only...

Development of seasonal offer of organic fruit and vegetable
HAUEROVÁ, Petra
Ratio of organic orchards to the total orchard area in the Czech Republic is probably the highest in the European Union. Anyway, as a result of wrongly set system of grants there is grown hardly any fruit. Despite passable climatic conditions for organic vegetable production together with its long-term growing tradition in the Czech Republic the current production is low. The aim of this thesis is assessment of seasonal offer of organic fruit and vegetables for three observed months and comparison of prices in organic and conventional production of various sorts of grocery stores. Out of the results it is obvious that in supermarkets and hypermarkets offer of organic fruit and vegetables is the most favourable to customers in May. Prices of organic and conventional production differ a lot, even among the particular grocery stores. The total offer in all the observed grocery stores is relatively favourable and from my point of view sufficient for customers´ needs. However online shopping offers the widest choice of organic fruit and vegetables. On the contrary supermarkets Lidl and Penny do not offer any organic fruit or vegetables.
