Automatic Extraction of Lexico-Syntactic Information from Corpora
Bojar, Ondřej
The presented work investigates methods for semi-automatic extraction of lexico-syntactic information from corpora, particularly the information on subcategorization and valency frames. We document that at present time, PDT and CNC corpora are not sufficient for this task. We describe a simple method for a selective extension of corpora based on texts from Internet. We evaluate three parsers available for Czech with respect to the task of extracting verb frames. We have implemented a linguistically motivated ltration of input sentences to identify "very simple sentences", which helps the parsers to achieve better accuracy. The system AX designed in this work is more generic, any kind of linguistic fi ltration can be employed. The system is also suitable for creating partial or full parsers of natural languages. The thesis also presents a user's guide to the system AX. Furthermore, we compare methods for extraction of subcategorization frames from observed frames. We classify observed frames into a hierarchy suitable for human anotators. Finally, several problems of automatic extraction of valency frames are discussed.

Kindergarten as a safe Space
LISTOPADOVÁ, Lucie
The subject of this thesis is to explore nursery school from the perspective of children and to find out the effects for children to feel safe there, especially from a psychological point of view and moreover, what is especially a guarantor of peace, comfort and certainty of children in nursery school. The theoretical part consists of a historical retrospective of the development of preschool education and overall view at a child. Furthermore, this paper will show the opinions of developmental psychologists and a brief view of children needs through the optics of a psychologist and general educational programme. The practical part consists of survey of children requirements about their nursery school. This paper verifies whether it is important for children in nursery school what we adults considered important.

Analysis of the approaches of Central and Eastern European countries towards their membership in the Banking union
Samuelis, Tomáš ; Dvořák, Petr (advisor) ; Fleischmann, Luboš (referee)
The goal of this thesis is to analyze the approaches of countries in Central and Eastern European region towards their membership in the Banking Union. The selected topic has been investigated based on structural characteristics of the banking sectors of the impacted countries. The comparison of these characteristics resulted in identification of inconsistencies between the 2 standpoints (Opt-in and Opt-out). The thesis monitors the motivation of banks in choosing or changing the legal form of 'their' banks in host markets. The work identifies areas in which the host government can act to prevent banks from converting into branches, thus retaining the regulatory powers in local authorities. The thesis in the first 2 chapters maps the first and the second pillar of the Banking Union, Single Supervisory Mechanism and the Single Resolution Mechanism respectively. Furthermore, it summarizes the results of the European Central Bank in carrying out the Comprehensive Assessment exercise.

Activity of CoMo/MSA Catalysts in Benzothiophene Hydrodesulfurization, Cumene Cracking and Cyclohexene Isomerization
Gulková, Daniela ; Kaluža, Luděk ; Zdražil, Miroslav ; Vít, Zdeněk
It was found that MoO3 does not adsorb onto pure SiO2 despite its relatively high surface area (400 m2/g). In contrast, SA52, MSA30, and MSA19 with surface areas 430, 580 and 600 m2/g adsorbed about 14, 7 and 3 wt. % of MoO3, respectively. The content of Al2O3 in the SA based materials thus well correlated with the adsorption loadings of MoO3 achieved by the saturation experiments. Moreover, it was acquired that the highest dispersion and HDS activities were achieved over catalysts containing dealuminated MSA supports despite of relatively low loadings of Mo. After Co deposition, the weight normalized activities in BT HDS increased 2.2 and 4.3 times on effective MoS2 promotion by Co on more acidic supports. Furthermore, those catalysts keep the high acidities of the original supports, as it was determined by cyclohexene isomerization and cumene cracking, while industrial reference CoMo catalysts supported onto gamma-Al2O3 was found to exhibit low acidity.

Discussion on exchange-rate regimes: Hayek versus Friedman
Hájek, Jan ; Potužák, Pavel (advisor) ; Slaný, Martin (referee)
This bachelor thesis follows up approaches of F. A. von Hayek and Milton Friedman on international monetary arrangements. Analytical part contains research of work of both authors. In Hayek's work, the theory of income chain flows is highlighted first and second, synchronization of growth of export sectors and fall of import sectors across the whole national economy during depreciation is stressed in the flexible exchange rate regime. From Friedman's work those parts are chosen which are consistent with Hayek's theory. Primarily, differences between effects of speculation demand for foreign currency are mentioned. In the synthesis of both approaches, three international monetary systems are defined (international real gold standard, pseudo-gold standard and clear floating). The aim is to choose a system, which is the best for creation of wealth, therefore the one, where prices do not lose their information value. The thesis shows that the system with international real gold standard is the most suitable. Furthermore, the hypothesis that says, that approaches of both authors are compatible, is refused. The last chapter deals with the international monetary perspective of the Czech Republic.

Microstructure and mechanical properties of lightweight structural AZ31 alloy prepared by twin-roll casting method.
Zimina, Mariia ; Cieslar, Miroslav (advisor)
Title: Microstructure and mechanical properties of lightweight structural AZ31 alloy prepared by twin-roll casting method Author: Mariia Zimina Abstract: Microstructure of AZ31 twin-roll cast magnesium alloy was studied using light optical, electron and atomic force microscopy. The effect of annealing temperature on the microstructure was tested. Mechanical properties of a thin magnesium strip were investigated by means of microhardness tests and tensile tests at a relatively low strain rate 10-3 s-1 . Results show that the ductility of the twin roll cast strip increases with increasing deformation temperature, however, a remarkable decrease was observed at about 200 řC. This effect appears also in a conventionally cast ingot of a master alloy and is caused by a change of a deformation mode occurring at this temperature. Moreover, the effect of severe plastic deformation on the microstructure and mechanical properties was studied. Equal channel angular pressing was applied on magnesium strip samples and lead to a significant grain refinement accompanied by an unfavorable strengthening of the initial basal texture, which is effectively suppressed by a subsequent annealing. A constrained groove pressing was for the first time successfully applied on AZ31 twin-roll cast strip leading to an increase of...

Religous-political Aspects of Culture of Martyrdom in the Islamic Republic of Iran
Čech, Libor ; Vrhel, František (advisor) ; Hyánková, Tereza (referee) ; Kašpar, Oldřich (referee)
The presented doctoral thesis examines character and significance of the culture of martyrdom (farhang-e shahadat) in contemporary Iranian society with a particular emphasis on delimitation religious-political dimension of this phenomenon and determination of causes and implications of relatively recent reinterpretation which has radically shifted this culture from the religious-spiritual sphere to the political-ideological and even revolutionary. On the one hand, the thesis deals with a complex view of mechanism and manners of the utilization of the Karbala paradigm as the instrument for formulation of politically (and otherwise) motivated aims by different spectres of power structures of the ruling establishment and diverse oppositional social movements and on the other hand it reflects its apolitical standpoint associated with a spiritual experience of believers, which proceeds from the popular religion. These aspects of the political and religious boundary of the culture of martyrdom are examined in detail and given in the context of current socio-political reality. The thesis also strives for presenting of arguments founded on the premise which defines the culture of martyrdom as an essential source for constructing of identities and strengthening of solidarity among Iranian Imami Shi'ites,...

Introduction of Smart Metering: Ramifications for Business Management in Medium-sized Energy Providers
Selmke, Pierre ; Heřman, Jan (advisor) ; Neumaierová, Inka (referee) ; Markovič, Peter (referee)
In the European Union (EU), increasing final energy efficiency, so as to save energy, has become mandatory. This obligation will fundamentally alter the EU energy sector. The relevant EU directive, 2006/32/EG, requires that adjustments be made to energy billing and, where technically feasible, that new metering technologies (i.e. smart metering) be introduced. Individual EU countries are implementing these requirements in different ways: Smart metering is either being nearly fully implemented (e.g. in Italy), is being planned (e.g. in Germany), or completely disregarded (e.g. in the Czech Republic). Since the introduction of smart metering affects virtually all value-added steps, organisational structures and areas of operation in medium-sized energy providers, these providers must take the relevant requirements into account at as early a stage as possible. The present thesis analyses the effects of the introduction of smart metering on the business management of such companies. A deductive method was chosen and the effects of intro- ducing smart metering were assessed through a cross-sectional study of two separate data collections. Experts were interviewed and their statements were qualitatively evaluated. A written survey followed via online questionnaires, the results of which were quantitatively evaluated. Institutional, functional and activity-based perspectives were considered as well as normative, strategic and operative aspects of business management. The evaluation of the survey enabled a better assessment and analysis of the introduction of smart metering. An analysis of the scope of the upcoming alterations within energy providers illustrates just how fundamental a change this will bring to medium-sized energy providers. However, the outcome of the written survey shows that most executives do not recognise this need for change and therefore are unable to initiate it. These management deficiencies threaten the very existence of these companies and must be resolved through the timely initiation of consistent change management.
