Řešení nestacionárních problémů vířivých proudů integrálním přístupem
Doležel, Ivo ; Karban, P.
Althout most eddy problems are theoretically solved by various differential techniques, there exist several classes of tasks where use of the differential approach may be complicated or even prohibitive. Mentioned can be, for example, problems characterized by geometrical incommensurability of individual subdomains, by their motion or by ignorance of the boundary conditions. In such a case, application of the integral approach may be an advantage. The paper presents the theoretical background of the method.

Ivory wieghts from Předmostí and Pavlov
Svoboda, Jiří
As early as 1884, an object carved of mesial part of a mammoth tusk from Předmostí was described by J. Wankel, and interpreted by him as a weight. Obviously, the utility of such artefacts lies in their weight and in the fixation by fibrous cordage. A comparative study shows that between 30-15 ky, analogical objects appear repeatedly in various Gravettian phases and facies, as well as in Late Aurignacian (Pavlov, Willendorf, Alberndorf, Kostenki, Mezin). In order to approach more precisely their function within the technological system of these settlements, archaeological observations (the context, traces of damage from beating) and analogies (ethnoarchaeology, experimental archaeology) are applied. These methods suggest a variety of alternatives, but none of them is proved unequivocally. Even if the approach of this paper is preferentially functional and technological, an additional symbolic meaning of some of these objects (cf. their anthropomorph "heads") should not be neglected a priori.

Below Zero: Economics of Negative Interest Rate
Stroukal, Dominik ; Šťastný, Daniel (advisor) ; Špecián, Petr (referee)
This paper discusses the issue of negative nominal interest rate. Consistent following of Taylor's rule may lead to recommendations to adjust the interest rate below its zero bound. Although the negative nominal interest rate is considered to be impossible, proposals that can make it possible are presented. Their common impact is raising the cost of holding money. It is proven that without a statutory anchor and enforcement this policy of raising the cost of holding money cannot work. Since the originary rate of interest cannot be negative, the whole concept of negative nominal interest rates is only an unconventional form of taxation.

U. S. Foreign Policy and 2008 presidential elections
Grundmanová, Jitka ; Krátký, Karel (advisor) ; Dubský, Zbyněk (referee)
Před více než rokem Barack Hussein Obama po svém triumfu ve volbách nastoupil na post prezidenta USA a s trochou nadsázky tak získal "nejhorší zaměstnání v zemi" Čekal na něj úkol vyvést americkou ekonomiku z hluboké globální krize, vyřešit dvě nepopulární války, znovu vybudovat renomé americké diplomacii, zvrátit jaderné ambice Íránu a neposlušnost KLDR, usměrnit izraelsko-palestinský konflikt, a to je jen začátek nekonečného seznamu. Nemálo práce mu přitom přidělal jeho předchůdce George W. Bush, jehož první volební období plné militarismu, unilateralismu a černobílého rozdělování mapy světa na "ty dobré a ty zlé", pošpinilo dobré jméno Spojených států, poškodilo spojenecké svazky a uvrhlo zemi do rekordního dluhu. Přestože sám Bush mladší se ze svých chyb po obhájení mandátu poučil, vyměnil některé neokonzervativní členy svého týmu za mladší a ke světu otevřenější spolupracovníky a vydal se smířlivější cestou, nepodařilo se mu jeho omyly napravit. Barack Obama si byl Bushova obratu dobře vědom a je důkazem jeho moudrosti a rozvahy, že se neuchýlil k bezhlavému propouštění zaměstnanců bývalé administrativy, ale byl schopen z ní vytáhnout nejsilnější články. Obama mistrně zkombinoval osobnosti bývalé administrativy, své věrné druhy i dřívější rivaly, a dal tak vzniknout různorodému, ale pevnému týmu bez vyhraněné politické orientace. V podstatě si v okruhu svých kolegů vytvořil vlastní systém brzd a protivah.

Economic relations between the Czech Republic and the United Kingdom
Hošková, Lucie ; Černá, Iveta (advisor) ; Taušer, Josef (referee)
This bachelor thesis is focused on classification of reciprocal economic relations between the Czech Republic and the United Kingdom. The aim of this thesis is to uncover, what are the relations like and what is their significance in the context of the foreign trade of both respective countries. In this case, trade in goods and services as well as mutual flows of foreign direct investments have been the subjects of investigation. Apparently, the reciprocal relations, despite not acquiring a major share in overall foreign economic activities of these countries, play an important role in economic happening. Currently, trade in goods is the one, which is achieving the biggest success. Also British foreign direct investments in the Czech Republic are reaching relatively high values (at least compared to Czech investments in the United Kingdom), however, the mutual trade in services is the one, which could have a substantive perspective into the future.

Economic analysis of the regulation impacts on the protection endangered species of animals
Krejzová, Lucie ; Munzi, Tomáš (advisor) ; Petrášek, František (referee)
The thesis focuses on causes of ever-declining state of endangered species of animals even though they are protected internationaly by wide law-system. This bachelor thesis targets in the theoretical part primarily the economic approaches to environmental protection and their subsequent analysis. Among the current schools of thought include environmental economics, ecological economics and free market environmentalism as a defense of private property in terms of environmental protection. The positive and negative impacts of these schools and approaches are defined and the recommendations for practical situations are found. The aim of the thesis is to answer the question including reasoning what is more efficient solution from economic point of view: governmental private rights and enforceability support or better arguing that private ownership is the main reason of the problem of endangered species and therefore more extensive administrative intervention is required. The practical part mainly uncovers the imperfect functioning of the protection system demonstrated on specific cases.

Banking fees and commissions, analysis of their real and hypothetical effects on the economy of Czech Republic
Rod, Aleš ; Schwarz, Jiří (advisor) ; Řežábek, Pavel (referee)
The thesis deals with banking fees and commissions in the Czech Republic. Its main goal is to identify real and hypothetical effects that are caused by this element of non-interest banking income. Moreover, the thesis shows that the bank fees and commissions play more significant role than just being a source of banks' income -- diversification and structure of bank income crosses the line of banking system. The first hypothesis on the negative correlation between bank fees and commissions and output of the Czech economy has been proved. Although other two hypothesis have not been sufficiently proved but they have confirmed their relevance for further economic research.

Asset pricing models
Tuček, Jan ; Pošta, Vít (advisor) ; Scholleová, Hana (referee)
Diploma thesis deals with models of asset pricing. We investigated in detail three classical models: binomial, Black-Scholes and Merton model. These models are widely used to date, although they were first published a few decades ago. It is because they are relatively simple and easy-to-use. The models were originally derived for option pricing however they can be used for the wide range of financial instruments. The theoretical part of the thesis includes an introduction to options and models derivation. The practical part consists of the sensitivity analyst and empirical test of the models. S&P 500 index options data were used for this purpose. The result is that Merton model seems to be the most accurate.
