Human capital in the enterprise
STRAKOVÁ, Lucie
The bachalor?s thesis at hand deals with an analysis of employee structure and assessment of efficiency (productivity) of human capital at a production plant in Humpolec. The theoretical part opens with a brief description of factors of production. Further, the thesis provides a detailed description of human capital, its types, and reasons for its assessment. Another part of the literature summary refers to remuneration and motivation that play important roles in relation to employees. The practical part provides a description of Valeo, a company based in Humpolec, the Czech Republic, one of the leading manufacturers of air conditioning compressors for automotive industry. This is followed by an analysis of employee structure in the company. Means and methods employed in order to remunerate and motivate company?s employees are based on annual assessment interviews that are held with each employee separately by the manager. The conclusion of this chapter analyzes to what extent the company uses human capital, i.e. the level of efficiency (productivity) of human capital. Also, it observes employees? absence rate and staff turnover. The outcome of the thesis consists of possible solutions for the company based on the data and information provided.

Oktábec, Zbyněk ; Vinšová, Jarmila (advisor) ; Macháček, Miloš (referee)
CHARLES UNIVERSITY IN PRAGUE PHARMACEUTICAL FACULTY IN HRADEC KRÁLOVÉ DEPARTMENT OF ANORGANIC AND ORGANIC CHEMISTRY Diploma Thesis Synthesis Of Antimicrobial Active Anilides and Their Sulphur Analogues Zbyněk Oktábec Implementation of tert-butyl group into the molecule of benzoxazoles leads to enhancement of lipophility and therefore better penetration through lipoid mycobacterial cell-wall. Several derivates had shown 100-90 % activity in concentration 6,25 μg/ml against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv in our series of 5,7-di-tert-butyl-benzoxazoles substituted in position No. 2 with aromatic substituent. Metabolism of benzoxazoles probably includes the opening of their structure. The goal of this thesis is to synthesize substituted N-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-2-hydroxyphenyl)benzamides and pyridinecarboxamides, their so-called "open forms". These structures could be also considered as "reversed salicylanilides" which have also a significant antitubercular activity. The first step of the synthesis of these analogues is preparation of 2-amino-3,5-di-tert- butylphenol. It was prepared by reaction of 3,5-di-tert-butylbenzo-1,2-quinone with ammonia and following reduction by NaBH4. Resulting DTB-aminophenol has been condensed with appropriate aromatic or heteroaromatic acids, while PCl3 in chlorobenzene was...

Economic Research Bulletin (2017, No.1). Volume 15, Number 1, May 2017, Trade and External Relations
Česká národní banka
One of the key determinants of economic development in small open economies such as the Czech one is the external environment. Understanding the linkages to the external world is therefore of utmost importance for policymakers. It is not only international trade that is important. Capital flows and exchange rate fluctuations are also among the economic phenomena that should be monitored and analysed. The articles in this Research Bulletin represent a sample of the CNB’s research dealing with modelling of trade and capital flows and exchange rate fluctuations. The first article decomposes aggregate export growth in the Czech Republic in 2005–2014. The second article presents research aimed at improving the trade forecast. The third article also contains research relevant to economic forecasting. The fourth article studies the role of exchange rate movements.

New town hall for the district Brno-North
Petrík, Marek ; Hanusová, Lenka (referee) ; Mikulášek, David (advisor)
The building is situated into new urban structure with a simple grid of regular blocks and streets in Cerna Pole, Brno Sever. It is designed as a solitaire which enters the park with a half of his platform. The house is sunk into the ground and his parter is interestingly and playfully communicating surrounding. House was created from a modified block as inversion of its mass. The house can be entered from both sides. From the north side and from the south side. Matter is 21m high and has a and spans 42 x 49.5 m. The key element of the plan and the communication is hinged open staircase in the hall.

Fundamental analysis of volatility of spot rate
Vasiľ, Roman ; Mandel, Martin (advisor) ; Brůna, Karel (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the exchange market, its size, structure and current status towards other markets. It describes an important indicator of the progress of the exchange market and its development, function and volatility. This indicator is called exchange rate. This work mentions various theoretical approaches which deals with the determination of the exchange rate going through the first theoretical models up to contemporary complicated understanding fluctuation of the exchange rate. There is also mentioned how the single theories deals with the factors which affect exchange rate, what is their pros and cons at the theoretical level and also at the empirical level. It prooves empirically the failure of the theoretical approaches through the factors which are not mentioned in the theory and the failure of various assumptions which are not achievable in present open economy in the area of the member states of the European Union.

Structural and functional characterization of giant plant Ogre-like retrotransposons
STEINBAUEROVÁ, Veronika
Ogre elements represent a distinct group of Ty3/gypsy LTR retrotransposons occurring in a range of dicot plants. They are characterized by two specific features ? presence of long extra open reading frame in 5´ untranslated region with unknown function and a non-coding sequence containing several stop codons separating protease and reverse transcriptase domains which was proposed to be removed by splicing. This thesis describes the functional analysis of intron splicing in Ogre retrotransposons. Further, it investigates additional coding information not only in Ogre retrotransposons but in the whole group of Ty3/gypsy retroelements.

Analysis of cognitive functions in recombinant inbred strains of rats produced by crossbreeding of SHR and BN Lx. lines
Hatalová, Hana ; Stuchlík, Aleš (advisor) ; Pravenec, Michal (referee)
This MSc. thesis deals with dissecting the link between memory, genetics, and metabolic syndrome. Memory is a very complex behavioral trait, probably influenced by innumerable factors. For this experiment HXB/BXH rat recombinant inbred lines (n= 30) and their parental strains (n=2) were used to be trained in the hippocampus dependant spatial learning task called Allothetic Active Place Avoidance. Rats were to memorize sector of a rotating circular arena, which they were to avoid, being motivated by receiving an electric shock upon entering the forbidden sector (4 training sessions; shock sector on the North, 1 retrieval session (no shock), and 3 reversal sessions, to-be-avoided sector facing South; each session 20-min long, retrieval 10-min). Control experiments to exclude impact of motor or sensory abnormalities were run in a form of open-field test and beam-walking test. Correlation with metabolic phenotypes was conducted in an online database of known HXB/BXH phenotypes (GeneNetwork.org). The results showed that differences in learning were significant between the groups (p<0.05); correlation analysis indicated no putative link between selected traits related to metabolic syndrome and memory in rats. The genetic analysis showed a suggestive locus on chromosome 20 for a learning parameter, and...

LABORARTORY BRNO
Smržová, Kristýna ; Veselá, Markéta (referee) ; Kratochvíl, Jan (advisor)
I suggest two buildings, gallery and multifunctional building. For my design solutions was crucial that we find ourselves in a place with very strong traffic and small place. I design primarily the gallery, so I decided to open the block and relieve the gallery building. With the same intention i taper the wall of the main facade to the street fluctuate, thus creating a freer parter. Gallery becomes detached building and operating space around freely. I wanted to reach such an impression that it was a stone house, something quality and stable, so I chose the concrete substructure as well as the exposed material. The construction is monolithic reinforced concrete. The second house is a multifunctional building directly adjacent to the Commercial Bank

The Czech Housing Market Through the Lens of a DSGE Model Containing Collateral-Constrained Households
Tonner, Jaromír ; Brůha, Jan
We incorporate a housing market with liquidity-constrained households into the Czech National Bank’s core forecasting model (g3) to analyze the relationship between housing market and aggregate fluctuations in a small open economy framework. We discuss the historical shock decomposition of house prices and interpret the results in the light of recent empirical work. For a wide range of model calibrations, the interaction between the housing market and the aggregate economy is weak and so the monetary policy implications of house price fluctuations for the Czech Republic are not strong. We interpret this – in line with recent empirical evidence – as an indication that the wealth effects stemming from house ownership are not significant in the Czech Republic. Nevertheless, we show that the collateral mechanism significantly improves the forecasting properties of the extended model, especially for private consumption. This indicates the importance of the collateral effect, which can be caused by assets other than houses.
