Presenting shareholders' capital in Russian commercial companies
Barikhashvili, Natella ; Skálová, Jana (advisor)
Firm creates equity capital while commencing activity, in the future monitors its sufficiency, takes measures to maintain and increase its size. Operation of the business and its further development can be realized only in case of rational management of capital. Business results depend on the existence and effectiveness of the use of financial resources. The equity created in the beginning of establishing business allows you to organize the production process and make a profit. Profit growth and therefore increase the company's capital while maintaining liquidity and solvency allows you to secure financial stability in terms of changing internal and external environment.

The Six Sigma methodology
Zajícová, Hana ; Jarošová, Eva (advisor) ; Malá, Ivana (referee)
Bachelor thesis deals with the desription of the statistical foundations and individual steps of Six Sigma, which are descibed by the DMAIC model. The thesis focuses on statistical process control and control charts. The main goal is to evaluate the possible use of control charts for attributes, namely the control chart for fraction nonconforming or p-diagram and to describe its properties expressed by the operating characteristic (OC). The influence of the sample size on the OC curve is examined. The last part of this theses deals with the desription of the xi-diagram as an alternative of the p-diagram. The properties of this alternative and classical p-diagram are compared.

Stochastic dominance portfolio efficiency measures
Jakubcová, Monika
In the present work we study the stochastic dominance portfolio e ciency measures. The investor's risk attitude is given by the type of an utility function. If this information is unknown or a general investor is assumed, it is possible to use the stochastic dominance principle, in which the portfolio is only classi ed as e cient or ine cient. We build on the works of Post, Kuosmanen and Kopa, who formulated the criteria of portfolio e ciency for nonsatiate and risk averse investors. On the basis of these criteria, we de ne the second-order stochastic dominance (SSD) portfolio e ciency measures. We examine the properties of SSD ine ciency measures, which allow to compare SSD ine cient portfolios. We prove mutual relationships for the de ned SSD ine ciency measures. Eventually, we test the SSD e ciency of a US market portfolio on real-world US Stock Exchange data.

The effect of addition of thickening agents on nanoemulsion properties.
Kovaříková, Alžběta Dorota ; Berka, Pavel (advisor) ; Doležal, Pavel (referee)
Nanoemulsions are o/w emulsions with the particle size of discontinuous phase in the range of 1 - 500 nm. They are not transparent and thermodynamically stable as microemulsions. Although nanoemulsions are usually more stable than macroemulsions, creaming, flocculation or Ostwald ripening may occur. One of possibilities to avoid such destabilizing processes is the addition of a thickening agent. The thickening agent increases the viscosity of the external phase, thus reducing the movement of the internal phase and stabilizing the entire system. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of an addition of the thickening agents to nanoemulsions. Cellulose derivatives (specifically: hydroxypropylmethyl- (HPMC), hydroxyethyl- (HEC) and hydroxypropylcellulose (HPC)) were used as the thickening agents. They were added at concentrations of 0.00, 0.15, 0.33, 1.33, 2.00 and 3.33 ‰. The samples with thickening agent concentration lower than 1.33 ‰ seemed relatively stable from macroscopic point of view. Centrifugation was chosen as a method for accelerated stability testing. It was performed with 3000 revolutions per second for 10 minutes, which was sufficient to establish the balance in the system. Samples with lower concentrations of the thickening agent (up to 1.33 ‰) had particle size in the range...

Software for a Czech-Chinese and Chinese-Czech dictionary
Hudeček, Jan ; Straňák, Pavel (referee) ; Homola, Petr (advisor)
Czech-Chinese and Chinese-Czech dictionary is an electronic dictionary which can be used both by a beginner or a seasoned translator. It allows searching in both directions and a fulltext search for given expression. Data access is hybrid - the program checks if it can access the database - if it fails it reads the data files. Moreover users can change the data source at run-time. The program builds indexes on the data file speeding searches up considerably. Indexes can be hashtables or binary trees. Asynchronous multithreaded IO was implemented to enhance the comfort of the GUI. The .NET framework and MS SQL Server as a platform guarantees rapid development, deployment and scalability - for example adding a web application to the project would be quite easy. At the same time the design of the system allows for future improvements - for instance editing the dictionary from the GUI.

Linguistic analysis of the magazine Dirtbiker
Žáková, Denisa ; Šebesta, Karel (advisor) ; Mareš, Petr (referee)
The thesis deals with language in the magazine Dirtbiker. It introduces and describes Dirtbiker as a media product and a part ofthe Czech media scene, then it focuses on the content and specific genres ofthe magazine (namely reportage). A special attention is paid to the linguistic analysis and the description of style. The expressivity, enriching the lexicon of the magazine with neologisms, anglicisms and slang are exemplified. The function of profane language is also observed. The thesis follows the way in which men and boys use language and deals with the construction of masculinity in the magazine. The methods of critical discourse analysis are also used. These methods allow us to focus on ideology and the mistakes in argumentation.

Adjectives in Czech sign language?
Zahumenská, Jitka ; Macurová, Alena (advisor) ; Okrouhlíková, Lenka (referee)
The leading topic af this thesis is to laok for an answer to tbe following question: Are there any means af expressing the properties af entities in Czech sign language and ifso, can we think ofthese means as adjectives which laok and wark in a very similar way in Czech spoken language? The author is aware af the different modality af Czech spoken and sign language which may cause a difference in the classification af lexical categories in both languages. That is the reason why tbe author gives priority to dea1ing with language typology and word/sign category cIassification issues in general. Subsequently, the author uses tbe semantic, morphological and syntactic conditions af lexica1 category classification to describe the form and function af lexical items that express the properties af entities in Czech sign language and she correlates them with tbe [orm and function of adjectives in Czech spoken language. The Czech sign language data for the research have been callected by elicitation method from spontaneous cammunication af deaf sign language users. The author deals with the expression af possession in Czech sign language as well. Finally she proves some af the facts regarding adjectives in Czech sign language by providing examples from written texts of deaf Czech individuals.

Molecular Basis of Hereditary Hyperuricaemic Nephropathies
Vyleťal, Petr ; Kmoch, Stanislav (advisor) ; Viklický, Ondřej (referee) ; Jirsa, Milan (referee)
Familial juvenile hyperuricemic nephropathy (FJHN) and medullary cystic kidney disease type 1 (MCKD1) and type 2 (MCKD2) are autosomal dominant tubulointerstitial nephropathies characterized by combinations of hyperuricaemia, gouty arthritis, progressive renal insufficiency, and in some but not all families, medullary cysts. The phenotypic expression of these diseases is inconsistent, overlaps and indicates broader genetic and allelic heterogeneity. Their pathophysiology was mainly unknown. Previous studies localized FJHN/MCKD genes to chromosomes 16p11 and 1q21. This thesis was primarily aimed at identification of molecular bases and mechanisms underlying FJHN/MCKD. To follow this aim, we focused on collection and characterization of FJHN/MCKD patients and families, identification of disease causing genes in affected families, characterisation of identified proteins and their mutated forms and the isolation and characterisation of interacting partners of newly identified proteins. We employed and established numerous molecular genetic, molecular biological and biochemical methods. We gathered one of the largest sets of families with FJHN/MCKD in the world. In about 26% of families we identified UMOD (uromodulin encoding) gene mutations and characterised by various approaches 6 uromodulin mutant proteins....

Efficient competency model
Hoffmannová, Anna ; Štikar, Jiří (referee) ; Riegel, Karel (advisor)
Methodology of competencies developed from researches focused on determining the properties and characteristics which are involved in the distinction between average and superior performance. A contribution of competency model is that it helps employees to identify the success criteria required to be successful in their current or future job. Determination of requirements for certain positions allows subsequently to compare a current level of skills of employees with the required ones. An effective competency model supports and contributes to the objectives strategy goals of the organization. The theoretical part of the work summarizes the current approaches and findings on this issue. In the practical part, we test and verify competency model. Using a revision of one competency model and creating a new model subsequently we check whether the model used in the company reflects really the strategic needs and whether is linked to others HR processes. For this purpose, the model is subjected to complete analysis that determines gaps and opportunities for improvement. Results are implemented in the solution of the new situation. The work emphasizes the idea that competency model is not universal and the effectiveness of their applications lies in their abilities to be identified, defined, understood and...
