An Application of Quantile Functions in Probability Model Constructions of Wage Distributions
Pavelka, Roman ; Kahounová, Jana (advisor) ; Vrabec, Michal (referee) ; Pacáková, Viera (referee)
Over the course of years from 1995 to 2008 was acquired by Average Earnings Information System under the professional gestation of the Czech Republic Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs wage and personal data by individual employees. Thanks to the fact that in this statistical survey are collected wage and personal data by concrete employed persons it is possible to obtain a wage distribution, so it how this wages spread out among individual employees. Values that wages can be assumed in whole wage interval are not deterministical but they result from interactions of many random influences. The wage is necessary due to this randomness considered as random quantity with its probability density function. This spreading of wages in all labor market segments is described a wage distribution. Even though a representation of a high-income employee category is evidently small, one's incomes markedly affect statistically itemized average wage level and particularly the whole wage file variability. So wage employee collections are distinguished by the averaged wage that exceeds wages of a major employee mass and the high variability due to great wage heterogeneity. A general approach to distribution of earning modeling under current heterogeneity conditions don't permit to fit by some chosen distribution function or probably density function. This leads to the idea to apply some quantile approach with statistical modeling, i.e. to model an earning distribution with some appropriate inverse distributional function. The probability modeling by generalized or compound forms of quantile functions enables better to characterize a wage distribution, which distinguishes by high asymmetry and wage heterogeneity. The application of inverse distributional function as a probability model of a wage distribution can be expressed in forms of distributional mixture of partial employee's groups. All of the component distributions of this mixture model correspond to an employee's group with greater homogeneity of earnings. The partial employee's subfiles differ in parameters of their component density and in shares of this density in the total wage distribution of the wage file.

Protection Union of Musical Works and its impact on consumers
Hrnčíř, Filip ; Horová, Olga (advisor) ; Šustek, Petr (referee)
The purpose of the bachelor's thesis is to objectively assess the functioning of the "Protection Union of Musical Works, (o.s.)" A partial purpose of the work is testing the aforementioned hypothesis that author's reward is consequently paid by the consumer. The theoretical part of the work focuses on the copyright issue itself, the existence of a common authority headed by the PUMW (OSA), the rewards for authors and their difference in regard to concession fees. In the practical secetion comes an analysis of the fees that is paid by a fictitious physical and legal person. A special attention is given to the alternative rewards from unrecorded carriers, being the most controversial author reward. The concluding chapter of the work focuses on the disputes between the analyzed collective administrator and spa resorts.

English abstract The use of propaganda and methods of governing and regulation of the regional press in Czechoslovakia during 1948-1956 (using the example of the guidelines of KV and OV KSČ and the region around Liberec) The presented study follows the development of censorship and the methods of media and press control in Czechoslovakia from 1948 to1953, and in particular during 1956. This study focuses mainly on the methods and processes used by the Czechoslovak Communist Party to dominate the media and how it concentrated namely on the relationship between local and regional media and the centralized governance under the powerful influence of the Czechoslovak Communist Party. After February of 1948, the mass media in Czechoslovakia took on a different role than the one it had up until that time. Even so, up until 1953, there was no official censorship office and the media fell under the jurisdiction of the Party apparatus, or alternately under the Ministries of Education, Science and Arts or Information, which accordingly managed and influenced media content. However, it was still under the curatorship of the UV Czechoslovak Communist Party, as the following work will show. As will also be shown, after February of 1948 the Communist Party was unable to gain influence over society at various levels and...

Origins and establishing of multi-party system in Spain after the fall of Francisco Franco's dictatorship (1975 - 1982)
Pitoňáková, Andrea ; Krausz Hladká, Malvína (advisor) ; Šušlíková, Lada (referee)
The bachelor thesis considers the Spanish transition to democracy, which started after the death of General Francisco Franco in 1975. In the introduction, the thesis provides the theoretical classification of the Spanish transition taking into consideration theories of several authors. Consequently it follows the historic flow of the events, while focusing on the origins and establishing of the pluralistic party system. In the times of the dictatorship, existence of no parties was officially permitted, expect for the National Movement. After the fall of the authoritative regime, Carlos Arias Navarro is swapped by Adolfo Suárez on the post of the prime minister. He establishes the basic rules for the Spanish democratization allowing new political parties to arise again. Moreover, Juan Carlos becomes the Spanish king and he expresses full support for the transition to democracy. An uncountable number of parties participate in the first democratic elections in 1977, but only some of them remain in the system and are able to contribute to the successful transition. The main political party in this period is Union of the Democratic Centre UCD that is led by Adolfo Suárez. The party system starts to change after the elections of 1979 and the next elections in 1982 are not won by the UCD, but by the...

Internet and Private International Law
Zezulka, Denisa ; Pauknerová, Monika (advisor) ; Dolanská Bányaiová, Lucie (referee) ; Zavadilová, Marta (referee)
This thesis deals with the union between the most modern communication channel yet - the Internet, and private international law. This relationship is not accidental, because the Internet provides a means through which subjects are able to communicate with each other across the world. In its simplest definition, the Internet can be defined as a worldwide system of interconnected computer networks. However, from a legal perspective - the Internet is not a legal subject in its own right, it does not have any legal obligations and therefore does not exist. The Internet is however, undoubtable a part of our every day lives. The initial focus of Internet legislation was only on the technical aspects. However as the number of Internet users has grown, the need for more specialized legislation also has. Often this specialization is assembled through the interpretation of existing laws. This thesis provides a detailed mapping of such private international laws and Internet law - which should be regarded as a separate legal specialization. It is found that the Czech Constitution and other constitutional laws provide a base for private international law at the country level; The Act on Private International Law and Rules of Procedure also provides legislation, which may be regarded as specialized. At the...

(Re)Shaping the "White trash" myth: Dorothy Allison's defiant attempt to deconstruct the "White trash" myth from within
Josková, Zuzana ; Ulmanová, Hana (advisor) ; Heczková, Libuše (referee)
ill contemporary cultural, social, and literary studies in the USA "whiteness" has recently become the central issue of scholarly interest (Wray 146). The goal of "whiteness studies" is to challenge white invisibility and its normative character which continues to permeate most aspects of American life. Rendering the quality of "whiteness" as yet another object of identity debate destroys the racial hierarchy and opens this concept to an honest and unbiased analysis. However, as Matt Wray points out: "Scholars of whiteness have become extraordinarily sure-footed and nimble when the word that follows white is supremacy, power, privilege, or pride, but they tend to stumble badly when it is followed by trash" (Wray 3). This insinuates that whiteness studies are following a common pattern in the American social and cultural discourse and disregard the complexity of the given question, focusing solely on the problematic of "race", and ignoring the numerous related issues such as that of class, gender, sexuality, etc 1. This articulates the need for new approaches to the studies of identity; not those which focus on its single aspect, but those which take into account its complex, fluid and constantly evolving nature. "White trash" as a cultural concept unites numerous identity categories, and it is therefore...

Russia-Belarus Unification. Chosen Problems and perspectives of Union State (1999-2008)
Osipova, Kristina ; Zilynskyj, Bohdan (advisor) ; Svoboda, Karel (referee)
Russo-Belarus Unification. Chosen Problems and perspectives of Union State (1999-2008). The main subject of the diploma thesis is cooperation between Russia and Belarus within the Union State of Russia and Belarus, which was established in 1999. After the break up of the USSR, cooperation between the newly independent states was largely defined by their membership in CIS. However, during the first five years an integration core emerged, consisting of Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. These states were mainly cooperating in economic sphere, which finally emerged into international organization (Eurasian Economic Community). Belarus is one of the former Soviet republics, which kept and is still keeping very close relations with Russian Federation. Their bilateral integration begins after the breakup of USSR and culminates in 1999, when treaty of establishing Union State of Russia and Belarus is signed. During the almost 10 year period between 1999 and 2008, however, the cooperation did not move forward as was originally planned. In my opinion, the main topics which delay effective Russo-Belarus integration are as follows: prices for energetic commodities (oil and gas) for Belarus; implementation of common currency - Russian ruble; and ratification of Constitutional Act of Union State....
