The essays of Marina Tsvetaeva in Czech translations
Šťastná, Zuzana ; Honzík, Jiří (referee) ; Rubáš, Stanislav (advisor)
Czech translations of six essays by Marina Tsvetaeva that focus on poetry writing and on the work of fellow-poets were examined, following a detailed analysis of Tsvetaeva's style and the historical and biographical context of her prose. The evaluation criteria for the translations were: accuracy in reproducing the author's meaning, the ability to distinguish the characteristic features of Tsveateva's style from the systemic features of Russian and the translators' creative input in reproducing especially the lexical and euphonic intricacies of the original. In addition to providing a general overview of translation problems posed by the author's style the work attempted to trace differences between the approaches of two translators of Tsvetaeva's princi pal essays on art: Jana Štroblová (Art in the Light oj Conscience) and Jan Zábrana (Poet and Time, The Epic and Lyric ofContemporary Russia). All Czech translations were found seriously lacking in accuracy; the errors in the reproduction of meaning are partly due to the idiosyncrasies of Tsvetaeva's style (e.g. punctuation), but sometimes to sheer carelessness. Remaining faithful especially to the emotionality ofthe style occasionally entails the transference oftypically Russian syntax or word order into Czech. The effort to reproduce or compensate for...

Regulatory Fees Five Years after Establishing
ŠILLEROVÁ, Veronika
Regulatory fees were launched by the Act No. 261/2007 Coll. on stabilization of public budget. Many acts were amended through this Act including the Act No. 48/1997 Coll. on public health insurance. This amendment set the obligation for the person insured or their legal representative to pay regulatory fees to the medical facility providing health care ? a practitioner, a medical facility or a pharmacy. The aim of this thesis was to summarize legal adjustment considering regulatory fees and to map citizens´ opinions of both this issue and regulatory character of fees. The author´s goal was to ascertain whether citizen´s opinions have changed in past five years since their implementation. Whether citizens became accustomed to the fees and if they understood their purpose or they would rather abolish them. Theoretical part explains the terms relating to health care and insurance industry where the particular regulatory fees are explained in detail, such as their amount and the range of people involved. The attention is paid even to cases of the regulatory fee exemption. Theoretical part also deals with the safety limit which is directly concerned with regulatory fees as well as it is explained which fees belong to this limit. The next subsection is concerned with the basic rules of providing health care in member states of the European Union. The theoretical part concludes with the description of the individual changes and amendments which regulatory fees underwent during 2008-2013. The practical part was created by the means of quantity research which was conducted through the questioning method. The questioning survey of 331 respondents among the public of South Bohemia was implemented through online questionnaire and the tangible forms. Three following hypotheses are defined on the basis of the secondary sources: Hypothesis 1: Respondents do not agree with the fee increases for a hospital stay from 60,- CZK to 100,- CZK. Hypothesis 2: From all the launched regulatory fees only the emergency service fee affects the use of health care. Hypothesis 3: Patients agree with the prescription charges. The hypotheses H1 and H3 were confirmed whereas H2 were proved false on the basis of the questionnaires. It was proved that 90,- CZK treatment fee in emergency service is not for the majority of people so high so that it would prevent them from using emergency service and therefore negatively affected the use of health care. On the contrary, it follows from the confirmed hypothesis that the cancellation of 30,-CZK fee for prescription item and the replacement for fee prescription as a whole was correct. As patients are more willing to pay a fee for prescription rather than pay for every item. The outcome of hypothesis 1 was virtually unequivocal for most of respondents do not agree with the fee increase for a one day of hospital stay. Research outcomes show the fact that in comparison with previous years not only does the acceptance of citizens about regulatory fee system gets better but also does their acceptance of citizens and citizens? willingness to pay them. There is always a group of people who are not satisfied with the current adjustment of regulatory fees. It also seems improbable to eliminate fees to affect personal and family budget. The important goals of Czech public health and responsible bodies are to set regulatory fees in the way to accomplish their regulatory objective as well as make sure fees do not limit the ability of people who end up in socially or otherwise difficult situation to use health care. The thesis may work well as an information booklet for the wide public, as a study material for the students of Health and Social Studies or as a source for comparison with future researches.

Regulation of access electronic communications networks in the Czech Republic and its impact on the industry development
Sekaninová, Renáta ; Ševčík, Miroslav (advisor) ; Munzi, Tomáš (referee)
The thesis deals with the asymmetric ex-ante regulation applied in the electronic com-munications sector in order to strengthen the competitive ability of alternative operators at the expense of incumbent operators' competitiveness with the aim of reinforcing effective competition in the electronic communications markets. The author is concer-ned with the regulatory instrument entailing an obligation on the fixed incumbent opera-tors to open their access networks to other operators. This is called Local Loop Unbund-ling (LLU). The thesis assesses regulatory impacts on the Czech electronic communi-cations market. The market development in the Czech Republic certified the negative regulatory effect on the fixed alternative operators'motivation to build their own access infrastructure. The author tries to find the dismotivating elements of the present-day LLU regulatory form by means of the Czech LLU market analysis. The author adverts to the undesirable regulatory effect on both alternative operators'and incumbent opera-tors'investment motivation. The thesis offers reasoning why the pro-competitive regula-tory policy (inhibiting investments necessary for the sector development) is not appro-priate.

Analysis of readiness of Czech republic for accepting unified European currency
Straka, Jakub ; Čajka, Radek (advisor) ; Černá, Iveta (referee)
My Bachelor's study called "Analysis of readiness of Czech republic for accepting unified European currency" tries to deal with the issue of Czech republic entering the eurozone. The first part briefly mentions history of European monetary integration. The second chapter describes the Maastricht criteria and tries to measure how much is Czech republic successful in fullfiling these criteria. The following chapter describes the OCA theory, which later generated so called real convergence criteria. Firstly I will mention factors, that have an ability to prevent economic shocks. Secondly I will expand on mechanisms that are able to lower the effects of economic shock. Furthermore I will characterise the readiness of Czech republic for the sole proces of euro entering the circulation. The last chapter will define and compare possible positive and negative efects related to accepting the european currency. In the end I will summarise the fullfilment of both nominal and real convergence criteria.

Expression of SWC7 molecules on the pig B lymphocytes.
Fikrová, Petra ; Konečná, Klára (referee) ; Jílek, Petr (advisor)
The aim of this graduation thesis is to clarify the expression profile of the SWC7 molecule on B cells in swine and eventually to resolve its function during maturation. At present it is possible to define the maturation pathways of porcine B lymphocytes in the periphery on the base of the expression CD2 and CD21 cell surface molecules. The flow cytometry was chosen as a central experimental method for detection of B lymphocytes carrying SWC7 molecule on their surface. The ability of individual B cell subpopulation to produce antibodies was also measured by ELISA. Principal phenotype characterization showed that the SWC7 molecule is found only on the surface of IgM+ and CD21+ B cells. These may be CD2 positive or negative. Based on this finding, the individual subpopulations of IgM+ CD21+ B cells differing in expression of SWC7 and CD2 molecules were purified by flow cytometry. Subpopulations were thereafter cultivated and subsequently analyzed for alterations in their phenotype. Media from cultivated cells were also analyzed for presence of porcine IgM, IgG and IgA antibodies by ELISA. Results indicate that the expression of SWC7 molecule on the surface of B cells may be considered as a maturation marker because loss of SWC7 molecules from the cell surface is irreversible and because only SWC7- B cells are...

Software Estimation
Surňák, Peter ; Buchalcevová, Alena (advisor) ; Stanovská, Iva (referee)
This thesis deals with software estimation, describes individual methods which may be used for constructing estimates in terms of effort, time and costs. It also deals with quality of estimate, the way it is used, the process of selection of the right method and other consequences. The main goal of thesis is creating a compact overview of currently known and used methods and approaches to constructing estimates. As a secondary target comes an example of practical use of estimate on a simulated project, where the way of choosing estimating method is presented, based on project attributes such as size, current stage of project or project type. For achieving these intentions, it is important to first set up basic framework of basic terms such as estimate, estimating, project and software project. Apart from just defining these terms, there are some necessary interrelations which must be explained before anything else. Another step is creating categorization of particular methods, their description, restrictions and suitable uses. The quality of an estimate, including factors which may bias, degrade or improve it, is another step towards final goal. Consequences, which may arise when wrong estimate has been provided, are one more piece of mosaic to this work. Lastly, case study demonstrate how to choose from estimating methods and use them on particular project. The expected benefits of the thesis are mainly in summarizing of existing approaches to the art of estimating broken down to categories, as well as list of principles and factors which affects an estimate and the ways estimates influence the project (in either positive or negative direction).

The study of influence of inorganic pigments on the identification of egg tempera by mass spectrometry
Čámská, Lucie ; Hynek, Radovan (referee) ; Hrdličková Kučková, Štěpánka (advisor)
The aim of this diploma thesis is to find out in what way inorganic pigments influence the identification of egg and yolk tempera using mass spectrometry MALDITOF (matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight). The other aim was to prepare a set of model color layers including ten inorganic pigments combined with the egg and yolk tempera. Using the method of peptide mass fingerprinting mass spectra of the samples were found out and the obtained peptides were compared. Finally the egg tempera was distinguished from the yolk tempera and it was found which pigments negatively influenced the identification of the temperas. The m/z values were found out for both temperas and they were used to upgrade database of the reference proteinaceous binders that have been used in art works.

Philosophy of Culture
Malá, Adéla ; Dolista, Josef (advisor) ; Drozenová, Wendy (referee)
In this work I am reflectioning of culture, meaning of culture and exhibition ever since the modern style after as much as present-day. My thesis divided into three main parts. In my firs thesis I am engaging in the topic of the conception of culture at Tomáše Trnky. About Trnka I target on his view on genesis and spring of culture, on meaning, profitability and metamorphoses in a time, but on negative shows too. In second chapter I analyse modern of culture ideals in pedagogy, philosophy and science. I analyse idem modern perception of arts, artistic products and influence modern of culture and arts on a religion. The third chapter is about postmodern of culture. There I affect general status actual of cultures in all human areas as are sciences, arts and religions.

European coordination of social security: rules for determination the applicable legislation
Kněžická, Šárka ; Tepperová, Jana (advisor) ; Bušovská, Monika (referee)
The aim of this master thesis is to analyse practical impacts of special rules for determination of applicable legislation in accordance with the Regulation No. 883/2004 and its implementing Regulation No. 987/2009. Further the thesis seeks to identify potential negative effects connected to application of the single insurance principle as well as deficiencies arising out of practical performance of European coordination and to discuss the eventual solutions to undesirable effects caused by weak sides of coordination regulations. The thesis is divided into four chapters: an introduction is followed by a chapter about general principles of European coordination of social security systems and about current developments in this field. The topic of a second part is an institute of posting according to Art. 12 of the Regulation No. 883/2004, a distinction here is made between employees and self-employed persons. This chapter further contains procedural rules and an overview of issued portable documents A1 (E 101 forms) during the years 2009 - 2011. Third chapter deals with pursuit of activities in two or more Member States in accordance to Art. 13 of the Regulation No. 883/2004. Special attention is paid to a fine line between posting and pursuit of activities. A problem with retroactive determination of applicable legislation is discussed in the last subchapter of the thesis. This problem is being recently solved by Czech institutions and employers. They are trying to find a solution preventing negative consequences of such a retroactive determination. Exception governed in Art. 16 of the Regulation No. 883/2004 is a subject of the fourth chapter. Situations where an exception is a possible and suitable solution are presented here as well as statistics about requests for exemption from Czech resp. foreign laws.
