Have the Finnish-Russian relations been influenced by Finland's entry in the EU?
Pajskr, David ; Rolenc, Jan Martin (advisor) ; Eichler, Jan (referee)
Due to its complicated position between East and West Finland had to face a number of complicated situations in its history. After the gain of independence in 1917, Finland decided to commit to a policy of neutrality in order to avoid possible complications. After the Second World War, Finland was among vanquished nations. Finland used to be an ally of Germany, and also because of it and other things Finland was among vanquished nations. Finland was de facto forced to sign The Agreement of Friendship, Cooperation, and Mutual Assistance between The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and The Republic of Finland. Finland experienced a period called Finlandisation, when the USSR intervened mainly in Finnish foreign affairs policy which largely limited Finnish cooperation with the West. Finland tried to act as a "mediator" between East and West in this period. Entirely new situation occurred after the fall of the Soviet Union and the subsequent entry of Finland to the EU. Until 2004 Finland was the only EU country that had a common border with Russia. This work aims to determine whether the Finnish entry to the EU has changed the character of the Finnish-Russian relations due to the above mentioned facts.

Application of multi-criterial decision-making methods in Business Intelligence
Doubrava, Jiří ; Sekničková, Jana (advisor) ; Kobzareva, Maria (referee)
Enterprise Resource Planning systems are large source of information usable for management decision--making. However, these data are often kept in incomprehensible form for common user. Especially for support of management decision--making was developed set of processes and technologies called Business Intelligence. With its tools are created comprehensible analysis. On practical example there is shown that Business Intelligence tools can be easily used for generating entry data for multi--criterial evaluation of variants. Methods of multi--criterial evaluation of variants are applied to solve the problem of a company that is forced to close some of its stores due to financial loss.

Molecular simulations in structure analysis of intercalates
Veteška, Marek ; Pospíšil, Miroslav (advisor) ; Beneš, Ludvík (referee)
The samples of hydrotalcite intercalated with pyrenetetrasulphonate acid were obtained. Their structure cannot be precisely determined by the analysis of X-ray data. The amount of water in the interlayer space and the structure of the samples differed considerably in dependence on humidity. Convenient procedures and minimization strategy were established on the base of X-ray data in the molecular mechanic and the molecular dynamic simulations. A procedure for using of the supramol software was made. This software enables deterministic searching of conformational space. Initial models from supramol were minimized in the Cerius2 software using the Universal force field and then they were eventually optimized by the molecular dynamics. The arrangement of molecules of pyrenetetrasulphonate acid and water was determined in the interlayer space of hydrotalcite for three different samples with different interlayer distances: The sample 1 prepared by RH = 0%: 9.83A; the sample 2 prepared by RH = 84%: 13.63A; the sample 3 prepared RH = 40%-50%: 11.74A a 12.81A. The results of these structures proved a large variability of the arrangement of the molecules in the interlayer space. The sample No. 3 seems to be unstable.

Klein, Pavel
The object of the diploma thesis is the comparison of selected educational institute with the competitors operating in the tertiary education field, using the external benchmarking method. The theoretical part presents the basic terms related to the issue, especially strategic management, benchmarking, SWOT analysis, Porter five competitive forces analysis, but also the tertiary education sector. In the practical part there is performed a comparative analysis of six companies operating in the education sector. It concerns the following subjects: Brno Business School, Brno International Business School, Institute for Industrial and Financial Management, Prague International Business School, VŠB - Technical University of Ostrava, University of Finance and Administration. The survey results are statistically evaluated through the tables and graphs with an accompanying written commentary. The objective of the diploma thesis is the comparison of six companies using external benchmarking method and thus to define the weaknesses of the company which is the subject of the thesis, based on five analyses. Subsequently, to propose recommendations to minimize these weaknesses in order to gain a stronger position in the tertiary education market and higher competitiveness.

Jews Society in Czechoslowakia Between 1919 - 1939 with focus in Bratislava
Heriban, Branislav ; Michela, Miroslav (advisor) ; Frankl, Michal (referee) ; Rychlík, Jan (referee)
Author of the thesis focuses on the Jewish associations and organizations in Slovakia, particularly Bratislava, in the period 1919 to 1939. Jewish associations existed already in Austria-Hungary. In 1867, resulting from the approval of the Austrian constitution in February 1861, a federal law was adopted that developed and clarified some of the general constitutional principles. In Hungary, after the Austria - Hungarian Settlement, Law of 2 May 1875 No 1508/1875 was in force - with minor adjustments - until the end of 1951. Activities of Jewish societies further developed during the first Czechoslovak Republic. The majority of societies existed in Prague, Brno and Bratislava. Being university cities, their activities attracted number of students, particularly lawyers and medics. The volume of voluntary activities multiplied during 1920's. Bratislava had registered 676 organization and societies in 1931, which was nearly tenfold compared to 1900. In years 1919 - 1939 there were about 30 to 40 Jewish associations in the city. With regard to their activities the Jewish organizations were divided as follows: religious organizations, charitable societies, mutual help and burial assistance societies, student and community based organizations, gymnastics and sporting clubs, professional associations and...

The role of NG2 glycoprotein in regulation of Rho/ROCK signaling
Kratochvílová, Magdalena ; Rösel, Daniel (advisor) ; Kuželová, Kateřina (referee)
NG2 is a transmembrane glycoprotein, which takes part in cellular processes such as adhesion, migration or invasivity, i.e., in processes important in tissue development but also in tumor and metastasis formation. Among other things, NG2 leads to an inhibition of neurite growth, and probably plays an important role in amoeboid type of cell invasion. These processes are in many respects similar. Both in inhibition of neurite growth and in mesenchymal-amoeboid transition occur morphological changes which lead to a loss of cell protrusions and a transition to a rounded shape. In both of these processes Rho/ROCK signaling also plays a crucial role. Connection between NG2 and the Rho/ROCK signaling pathway has been indicated in the process of inhibition of neurite growth. The mechanism of Rho/ROCK signaling regulation by NG2 glycoprotein is, however, still unknown. In this thesis is proposed a molecular mechanism of Rho/ROCK pathway activation by glycoprotein NG2 which relies on the NG2/MUPP1/Syx signaling complex where the scaffold protein MUPP1, bound to activated NG2, enables binding and activation of the Syx protein. Syx then as RhoGEF activates Rho/ROCK signaling, and the activated Rho/ROCK pathway leads to inhibition of neurite growth, increased cell contractility and traction forces. These processes are...

Subhash Chandra Bose and Indian national movement (1920-1945)
Beránek, Petr ; Skřivan, Aleš (referee) ; Kovář, Martin (referee)
ln the time between the two world wars, divergencies of opinion were deepened among Gandhi's fraction and leftists led by Jawaharlal Nehru and Subhas Chandra Bose in Indian National Congerss (INC). Bose, coming from the Bengal elite, resigned the post of Indian Civil Service and joined the brench of Bengal Congress. After the suspension of civil disobedience, he followed his political teacher, C. R. Das, and acceded to the Swaraj Party, where he was until his imprisonment in Burma in 1924. Though Bose came back from the internation after three years of being seriuos ill; immediately he started to work for a socialist group of INC. He enforced with Nehru the idea of Puma Swaraj, i. e. full independence. Gandhi weakened leftists on Lahore congress in 1929, where he gained Nehru on his side. In the end of the 1920s, Bose became a leader of Bengal Congress. The provincial organisation, however, was deeply divided; the split was overcame after death of main rival Sengupta. The Government of Calcutta suspected Subhas had a connection with extreme left radicals; therefore, it imprisoned him in 1933 and forced him to emigrate to Europe. Bose used his stay in Europe for getting support of intelectual and political elites for Indian independence. ln 1936 he came back to India, where he was jailed again. Gandhi was...
