Human Resources and Employment
JAKUBCOVÁ, Jaroslava
The goal of bachelor´s work is to describe the situation regarding the human resources in the county Prachatice and evaluate this problem from the employment office´s point of view. The basic problem is to utilize effectively the labour force related to free human resources, mainly registered in the employment office. In the bachelor´s work it is particularly pursued the comparison and the utilization of these free human resources. The bachelor´s work is divided into two main parts. The first part is theoretical and its intent is to explain the important notions regarding the employment. The attention is particulary pursued to the risk groups on labor market. The second part is practical and it is directed to the analysis of situations connected with employment and human resources in the county Prachatice. This part is strongly statistical in order to achieve a good transparency.In this part there is the connection with the theoretical part through the risk groups of the unemployed. At the end of practical part there are some suggestions regarding the utilization of human resources and the support of the employment rate. The result of this work is the maping of human resources development in the county Prachatice. There is also mention the further possible solutions of these problems on regional and state level. The state should behave as the guarantor of the state policy and by way of employment office conducts this policy.

Analysis of the impact of membership in Comecon on Czechoslovak foreign trade in the years 1949-1959
Hrdina, Jan ; Skřivan, Aleš (advisor) ; Stellner, František (referee)
Bachelor thesis deals with the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance (Comecon) and its effects on the Czechoslovak foreign trade in the years 1949-1959. The work is mainly focused on changes in territorial and commodity structure of Czechoslovak foreign trade on the background of development of the Comecon. Partly also mentions impacts on associated industrial production. During this period, Czechoslovakia underwent the most extensive changes due to rebuilding the economy, which was directly associated with the Comecon and its effects on foreign trade. Through the Comecon, Czechoslovakia was forced to accept the role of supplier of other member states of products of engineering industry. Czechoslovakia thus helped with the industrialization of less developed countries. The work also points to the dominant role of the Soviet Union in Comecon, and how could politicize its activities to promote their political goals. The intention is also to outline the work of foreign trade in the Soviet model from theoretical point of view. The aim is therefore to assess the consequences of membership in the Comecon to Czechoslovak foreign trade and its functioning in the Soviet model based on planning and centralization.

Hydration and structure of humic acids studied by thermal analysis
Grebíková, Lucie ; Šmejkalová, Daniela (referee) ; Kučerík, Jiří (advisor)
Cílem této práce bylo užití termické analýzy, především teplotně modulované diferenční kompenzační kalorimetrie (TMDSC) k odhalení změn ve struktuře huminových kyselin (HA), způsobených pravidelným vlhčením HA vodou a jejím opakovaným sušením. Celkový počet cyklů vlhčení byl pět, neboť následující cykly již nezpůsobily žádné další pozorovatelné strukturální změny. Experimenty provedené v této práci ukázaly, že voda hraje roli nejen v bobtnání struktury HA a přerušení van der Waalsových sil, ale i v přerušení některých vodíkových vazeb, což má větší vliv na snížení teploty skelného přechodu, Tg. Změny v teplotách skelného přechodu byly nepatrné, protože voda ovlivnila především okolí amorfních domén (zodpovědných za skelný přechod), než domény samotné. Dalším úkolem bylo ozřejmit roli volných lipidů ve stabilitě fyzikální struktury HA s ohledem na opakované vlhčení a sušení. Voda periodicky stabilizovala a destabilizovala strukturu HA, ve vzorku HA bez volných lipidů byl vliv vody krátkodobý, voda potřebovala méně času k vyvolání změn ve vzorku, zatímco v původním vzorku byly změny kontinuální. Opakované vlhčení vyvolalo pokles v teplotách fázových přeměn v každém cyklu v porovnání s předcházejícím a ovlivnilo především kinetické procesy, jmenovitě krystalizaci/krystalickou reorganizaci. Opakované vlhčení dále způsobovalo redistribuci a vymytí hydrofilních molekul a tím postupnou hydrofobizaci celé struktury.

Privatization of Security and its Role in US Foreign Policy
Lovíšek, Ondrej ; Dubský, Zbyněk (advisor) ; Eichler, Jan (referee)
This paper deals with the privatisation of security and analyzes its role in US foreign policy. It is composed of four separate sections, two of which are theoretical and the other two analytical. The first chapter presents available definitions and a historical overview explaining the origin and historical development of private military forces' involvement in armed conflicts. The second part assesses the development of the role of private military companies in US foreign policy. The analytical section aims to answer two key questions: (1) which advantages and disadvantages does PMC utilization present the US government with?; and (2) how can we regulate PMC activities, so that their cooperation with the US government both lives up to the client's expectation and satisfies international human-rights norms? The third chapter therefore assesses the main argument for a and against PMC utilization from the perspective of the USA and the fourth analyzes existing regulation frameworks - national, international and self-regulation.

Military organization and war activities in the early middle ages and their influence on social changes
Šťastný, Jan ; Suchánek, Drahomír (referee) ; Drška, Václav (advisor)
The goal of this thesis is to describe the development of the Frankish military organization and social changes in the early mediaeval Kingdom of the Franks brought about by this development. The first section describes relations in Gaul at the end of the Roman period and the onset of Frankish infiltration into the territory of the Roman Empire. The focus of interest after the Frankish conquest of Gaul under Clovis is the development of the Frankish military system from the 6th to the beginning of the 9th century. There is a description of the composition of this system and its strengths and weaknesses, and the military achievements of the Merovingian kings and subsequently the Carolingian rulers. A period of great importance is the 8th century, during which there was not only a change of dynasty but also important changes in the Frankish armed forces and society in general. This constituted a decisive step towards the later feudal arrangements in western Europe at the height of the Middle Ages. The final section of the thesis is an analysis of the impacts of these military and organisational changes on contemporary society, with a particular focus on Frankish social elites, which were of very great importance in subsequent developments. This work has been based primarily upon a number of sources of...

the Role of FRONTEX in the European refugee crisis
Fridrichová, Katrin ; Novotná, Markéta (advisor) ; Rolenc, Jan Martin (referee)
The bachelor thesis aims to elaborate the role of Frontex agency and its sufficiency in coping with the migration crisis. The criteria chosen were quantitative aspects (the budget and the number of detentions of illegal border crossings over the external borders), and qualitative aspects evaluated with content analysis based on proclamations of the representatives of European bodies (European Council, European Parliament and European Commission) in the year 2015. Main designated activities were operational, on the base of the analysis of agency´s mandate. Therefore, the main role of the agency is both coordination and assistant. The rule, that member states and their border forces are responsible for external borders protection, still applies. This statement is the main problematic issue and despite Frontex has been successful in its role, all the investigated European institutions agrees that the mandate of the agency should be inevitably strengthened to improve protection of external borders.

Nuclear dynamics and interactions of myosin 1c
Dzijak, Rastislav ; Hozák, Pavel (advisor) ; Hašek, Jiří (referee) ; Kaňka, Jiří (referee)
1. ABSTRACT Myosins are proteins that convert chemical energy stored in ATP into mechanical force that is applied on an actin filament. Nuclear myosin 1 (NM1) was the first myosin detected in the cell nucleus. Together with nuclear actin they were shown to play important roles in DNA transcription and chromatin remodeling. However, the molecular details of the NM1 functions are largely unknown. To expand our knowledge about this molecular motor we studied tissue expression, mechanism of nuclear localization and molecular interactions of this myosin motor. In the first part we examined the expression pattern of NM1 in various mouse tissues. We demonstrated that NM1 is present in cell nuclei of all mouse tissues examined except for cells in terminal stages of spermatogenesis. Quantitative PCR and western blots demonstrated that the expression of NM1 in tissues varies, with the highest levels in the lungs. NM1 is a nuclear isoform of earlier identified myosin 1c (Myo1c), which was described initially as a cytosolic, and plasma membrane associated protein. The only known difference between these two proteins was the presence of additional 16 amino acids at the N-terminus of NM1. Next we focused on the influence of NM1 domains, including the N-terminus, on the subcellular localization of this protein. We found...

Laboratory diagnosis of mycobacteria, with a focus on the bacteriological proof
VELKOVÁ, Martina
Laboratory methods play an important role in disease diagnostic. Although there are currently available fast molecular genetic methods and methods based on cell response, basic diagnostic method of direct evidence is still microscopy and cultivation. Microscopy (staining by Ziehl-Neelsen and fluorescence microscopy) is the primary method for most of the specimens, especially for sputum. The sensitivity of this method is not very high because for the detection of a positive finding in 1 mm3 is needed at least 105 microbes. However, the method is important because it can fastly proof extensive clinical and epidemiological serious diseases. The ?Golden standard? is today the cultivation on solid egg media. Nowadays it is filled in automatic detection system, which accelerates the time of detection. The thesis was carried out in the Laboratory of Medical Microbiology, Bacteriology department, Hospital Ceske Budejovice in the period from 1.1.2013 till 6.6.2013, and included 400 sputa, which were processed and examined. The purpose was to compare the effectiveness of decontamination methods with HCl and with NALC, and to monitor the recovery and detection for the automatic detection system and conventional cultivation. In the automatic system using the BACTECTM MGITTM 960 Non-Radiometric fluorescent technology is cultivation in liquid Middlebrook 7H9 medium supplemented with antimicrobials (polymyxin B, amphotericin B, nalidixic acid, trimethoprim, azlocilin). The classical culture used solid egg culture medium: Lowenstein-Jensen and culture medium by Ogawa. The individual results then show that the method of HCl had the overall contamination of 1 % of the samples. For each methods in 5 % BACTECTM MGITTM 960 and 4 % in the conventional cultivation. In comparison the method NALC, had the overall contamination of 21 % of the samples. For the individual methods in 26 % of BACTECTM MGITTM 960 and 50 % in the conventional cultivation. From these results it is obvious that the method with the NALC has lower efficiency, the proportion of contamination compared to the method with HCL increased by 20 %. Decontamination with the NALC method recommended by the manufacturer for BACTECTM MGITTM 960 was found to be unsatisfactory and was canceled. Comparing the recovery and the detection of the strains isolated in individual methods showed that the BACTECTM MGITTM 960 exhibits greater sensitivity than conventional cultivation, since the total of 17 strains isolated BACTECTM MGITTM 960 captured 15 against 10 strains isolated in conventional cultivation. There is also a significantly shorter time to detect positive samples. The average detection time for BACTECTM MGITTM 960 was 16.2 days, while a conventional culturing was 31 days. It was confirmed that the BACTECTM MGITTM 960 system achieves better results, but optimization is achieved by combining the two methods used. There is an apparent decrease in detection of mycobacteria from the processed statistical data of the strains isolated during the period 2010 - 2012, but a substantial reduction does not occur. Noticeable is only the decline of the isolated stains of Mycobacterium bovis BCG, which can be explained by the fact that the vaccination against tuberculosis is since 2011 no longer carried out across the board, but according to the new legislation in force only in high-risk groups. An interesting fact is that every year the highest laboratory detection is found in the age group of over 60 years.

Consociationalism as a Possible Solution of Conflicts in Segmented Societies: The Case of Lebanon and Northern Ireland
Klevarová, Kateřina ; Ditrych, Ondřej (advisor) ; Mrklas, Ladislav (referee)
The Master's thesis "Consociationalism as a Possible Solution of Conflicts in Segmented Societies: The Case of Lebanon and Northern Ireland" deals with suitability of consociational model in fragmented societies. By means of the comparative studies of Lebanon and Northern Ireland the author considered possibility to apply the system in countries or regions, which experienced long lasting internal conflict or civil war. The conclusion of the essay is that consociational model is a possible solution of conflicts in segmented societies. However the analysis of the peace process in both cases revealed the importance of external factors, which can contribute to the final implementation of the model. The link between collective identities and interests revealed the requirement of sufficient motivation for elite to engage in power sharing and to take the tough decisions conducive to inter-ethnic political accommodation. This pressure should come in the form of coercive external forces. However, it is necessary to consider the dynamics of the system, which is rigid and it will need certain modifications in the future.
