Čížek, Martin ; Pravdová, Lenka ; Hucl, Václav ; Řeřucha, Šimon ; Hrabina, Jan ; Mikel, Břetislav ; Lazar, Josef ; Číp, Ondřej
Using long-haul optical fiber links for phase coherent transfers of stable optical frequencies has been developed by metrological laboratories for at least a decade. Present boom of optical fiber sensors puts a demand on transferring this technology from laboratories to industrial practice. A remote calibration of fiber Bragg grating tensometers can be an example. In our contribution we present a 306 km long fiber link between laboratories of ISI in Brno and CESNET in Prague. The line uses a telecom fiber with a dedicated DWDM window at 1540-1546 nm. The setup implements a phase coherent transfer of a laser standard working with 1540.5nm wavelength and a bi-directional transfer of 1PPS timestamps from radiofrequency standards at the both ends of the line. A long-term measurement of transport delay fluctuations and relative stability of the line are discussed.

DNA čipy a jejich využití pro molekulární diagnostiku a predikci u onkologických onemocnění
VORÁČKOVÁ, Lucie
Many visible factors produced during carcinogenesis refer to oncological disease, e.g. modified gene's expression or increased number of miRNA. These factors can be diagnosed by analyzing of gene's expression. For this diagnostics, there are used many methods, of whom DNA microarray analysis is the most significant progress in genetic research. A large number of DNA sequences can be detected DNA with microarrays on a single microarray in a relatively short time. This analysis means a positive turnover for the diagnosis and prediction of disease.

Current problems of self-employed persons pension and sickness insurance in the field of insurance collection and benefits payment and proposals of their solution
KALIANKOVÁ, Ivana
Bachelor thesis is focused on current issues in the pension and sickness insurance of the self-employed, where fundamental changes occurred from 2009 onwards regarding not only collection of premiums but also the benefits provided by these systems. The system of insurance for self-employed persons underwent a long development period, every stage from the very beginning of insurance through interdependence of pension and sickness insurance to their complete separation affected the current behaviour of the self-employed in this field. Premiums should be understood also in terms of coverage of social incidents, which is an illness, injury, disability or old age. The amount of benefits provided from the system depends on the amount of premiums paid and the period of insurance. For this reason, attention in the thesis was paid to the issue of present statutory regulation of premiums, focusing on special-purpose sickness insurance premiums for the self-employed and the subsequent payment of benefits. Also in the field of pension insurance it is necessary to consider whether the premium payers are sufficiently aware of the link between premiums paid and the amount of such benefits, and can responsibly decide on the choice of assessment base, which has an impact on future security in retirement. The objective of this thesis is, based on an analysis of main problems which consist of complexity and comprehensibility of the existing legislation in force for self-employed persons, to suggest changes aimed at simplifying it. The given topic was studied using qualitative research through semi-structured interviews in a relatively narrow circle of self-employed persons with the aim to investigate the status quo, to get a detailed understanding and practical application of the provisions of the Act. Based on the knowledge and experience from practice, questions were prepared, which were answered not only by clients but also by District Social Security Administration Office staff in Strakonice who deal with administration of premiums. Based on evaluation of individual respondents' replies and with regard to the current problems during practical implementation of pension and sickness insurance administration, an opinion was obtained that the existing legislation is complex and confusing for the self-employed. Therefore, measures were suggested, which could be used as tips for possible amendments to legislation in the field of self-employed persons´ insurance premiums.

The concept, practice and culture of lobbying in the English speaking countries
Vymětal, Petr ; Reschová, Jana (advisor) ; Žák, Milan (referee) ; Malíková, Ľubomíra (referee) ; Rychetník, Luděk (referee)
The regulation of lobbying is a current topic both at the level of international organizations as well as in many European and overseas countries. This work deals with the comparison of the rules on lobbying in selected English-speaking countries. Descriptive, doctrinal and comparative methods are used to analyze the main trends in the lobbying regulation of the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland as well as Australia. The text is structured into four chapters. The first chapter deals with the definition of lobbying and its differences from corrupt dealings; it also covers the types of lobbying activities and the various kinds of lobbyists. The second chapter attempts to contextualize lobbying into the theories of the decision-making process. A comparison of the similarities and differences of the lobbying rules is made and analyzed in the third and fourth chapters. Both the third and the fourth chapter have a similar structure -- first, the general rules and approaches to regulation are introduced, and then a comparison of selected English-speaking countries is made. The third chapter deals with the most common rules for lobbyists; the fourth chapter focuses on the relatively neglected side of lobbying contacts, i.e. the rules for the targets of lobbying (public office holders). In the end, some measures and recommendations for the Czech Republic are also outlined.

Mediation as an Alternative Dispute Resolution
Joklíková, Kateřina ; Švarc, Zbyněk (advisor) ; Hásová, Jiřina (referee)
The submitted thesis deals with Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), particularly mediation activities. The aim of this thesis is to introduce mediation as an alternative method of conflict resolution, that is still relatively neglected in the Czech Republic, through a summary of theoretical knowledge in terms of its practical operation. Particular attention is paid to the recent regulation relating to mediation in civil matters and certain essential institutes that are affected by the new Mediation Act. The work is divided into five chapters. The first chapter defines the general concept of ADR and outlines the different types of ADR. The next part of the thesis presents in detail the mediation, a mediator and requirements for the performance of this function. There is also clearly described the course of mediation process. The third chapter deals with the regulation of mediation in the EU, which is the starting point for each national system. The fourth chapter is devoted to the regulation of mediation in the Czech Republic. It describes the situation that prevailed during the period without comprehensive regulation of mediation in civil matters, the legislative process of preparation and adoption of the Mediation Act, newly enshrined institutes and there is also a definition of the obstacles that could hinder penetration of mediation into wider practice. Finally, there is a comparison of the situation in the Czech Republic with the application of mediation activities in the USA and in some EU countries.
