Artificial neural networks and their application in the assessment of insurance risks
Macek, Karel ; Jiroutek, Pavel (referee) ; Mrázová, Iveta (advisor)
The present work studies applicability of artificial neural networks in the assessment of insurance risk. Structure and function of multilayer perceptrons, Kohonen maps, Fuzzy ART networks, and Fuzzy ARTMAP networks are described. Concept of insurance risk is defined and the ratemaking by generalized linear models is introduced. Neural networks' methods for reduction of input space's dimension, knowledge extraction, and visualization are summed up. Data describing traffic accidents are acquainted and results achieved on them are presented. The work successfully demonstrates theoretically and experimentally that multilayer perceptrons approximate better than generalized linear models. Modification of multilayer perceptron estimated distribution function of total claim. Analysis performed by Kohonen map and by subsequent visualization detected two significant clusters. Analysis by Fuzzy ART network is presented as a part of new algorithm for reduction of input space's dimension. New algorithm inspired by Fuzzy ARTMAP network discovered a group of accidents where the claim is above average. This group is delimited by interpretable rules. Attached CD contains scripts for Matlab and MySQL that was used for mentioned analyses.

Sentenced to community service - an alternative to imprisonment
Mottlová, Jana ; Šotolová, Eva (advisor) ; Sochůrek, Jan (referee) ; Černíková, Vratislava (referee)
The thesis deals with the topic of penalties alternative to the imprisonment. Given the fact the theme of alternative punishments is very large, the dissertation specialises mostly in a penalty of community services. In the thesis the alternative punishment is presented from the point of view of the occupation whose main task is to contribute to the penal justice and to solving penal conflicts. The domain that the Probation and mediation service of the Czech Republic has represented since 2001 stands on the frontier of the social work and the law and brings out the need to define the context of its own use, role, theoretical grounds and last but not least operational procedures, mechanisms and principles of a professional work. The penalty of community services started to be used in our penal justice in 1996 and it has gone through great changes ever since. The thesis describes in details the historical evolution of this punishement. First forms of an alternative treatment of offenders, especially the probation was developing late 19th century and in the beginning of the 20th century chiefly in countries of Western and Northen Europe.

European Union as a factor of the advancement of gender equality in the Czech Republic
Jachanová Doleželová, Alexandra ; Rovná, Lenka (advisor) ; Kotábová, Věra (referee)
The membership in the European Union (EU) has brought many advantages to Czech citizens. The equality between men and women is an important part of the EU ideology. However, gender equality is a new concept in the Czech Republic, and would be hardly that far, if the Czech Republic did not go throw the EU accession process. European Union is the most important factor in achieving gender equality in the Czech Republic. Membership in the European Union is a positive step toward gender equality; however, the Czech Republic is still lagged behind in the issue. in my final thesis, I will analyze the situation in regard to gender equality in the Czech Republic. I will focus on the progress related to the accession process, explaining who were the main actors influencing the development. I will bring in the recent situation, introducing the institutions related to advancement of gender equality and what are their deserts. It will be very worth mentioning what are the actual facts in the representation of women in the political and social life, and what is their role on the labour market, because it can later on leads us to some conclusions.

Citizen photojournalism and videojournalism on Czech news websites
Vilímová, Tereza ; Hanzal, Jaromír (advisor) ; Vochocová, Lenka (referee)
The master's thesis deals with the citizen photojournalism and the citizen videojournalism in the Czech media landscape. It focuses on the frequency of the amateur photographs and videos published on the selected news web sites and also on the gatekeeping process. This master's thesis also reflects the editor's opinions on the citizen photojournalism and the citizen videojournalism. The citizen journalism is usually viewed from the perspective of the citizen journalists, but this master's thesis brings the view from the second side, from the media professionals. The thesis uses the combination of the quantitative and qualitative methods. Firstly, there was conducted the quantitative content analysis. Secondly, there were interviewed the media professionals. The conclusions of the master's thesis indicate that the citizen photojournalism and the citizen videojournalism is rarely used on the Czech web sites. The media professionals evaluate this phenomenon positively, find its contributions to the news flow but only under the certain conditions. On the other hand, they do not find the citizen photojournalism and videojournalism absolutely necessary element for the news service.

The optimal route search under several criteria
Vodička, Jan ; Fiala, Jiří (advisor) ; Kolman, Petr (referee)
Common methods of optimal route search are described in the thesis. Also, existing procedures used in problematics of transportation networks are mentioned. A nonlinear price function is proposed, which enables the user to specify their own preferences of any criteria (length, time, cost, etc.). Moreover, necessary modifications of common optimal route searching algorithms are presented. A method for propagation of maneouvres of arbitrary length into the transportation network is shown. This method enlarges nodes and vertices sets by amount linearly proportional to number of nodes involved in maneouvre set. Also, a general method diminishing the number of edges, which have to be encountered during optimal raute search process, is proposed. Precalculated edges sets are used to gain this goal. Proposed thesis contains three methods solving specific aspects of optimal route search in transportation networks. While the first method, when applied in practice, can bring limitations of processable data size, the other two procedures forrn the basis of a navigation system. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

ELECTRE methods: theory and applications
Pieter, Michal ; Jablonský, Josef (advisor) ; Fiala, Petr (referee)
Multiple-criteria decision-making (MCDM) is a field of decision theory concerned with analyzing discrete sets of variables evaluated by multiple criteria. Facilitating decisions in such situations are several methods, among them a family known as ELECTRE. Using threshold values and the concept of outranking, they allow for improved modeling of the uncertain nature of real systems. This thesis sets out to describe all of the basic ELECTRE methods, as well as several of their modifications and further extensions and aims to do so with a sufficient level of detail and using precise mathematical language. It also presents key applications of said methods and reviews their implementation in software. Lastly, it introduces a brand new software, ELIA, developed as a part of the thesis. It allows users to solve practical problems using four of the basic ELECTRE methods.
