Leisure Time Centre Brno
Kacíř, Jiří ; Teplý, Vladimír (referee) ; Odvárka, Antonín (advisor) ; Štěpánek, Ladislav (advisor)
The Bachelor thesis develops an architectural study of Leisure time centre which was created within the Public Buildings Studio. The proposed building is located at the Kamenný Vrch settlement in Brno - Nový Lískovec. It is placed in the middle of large recreational area and it serves as a community centre for inhabitants of the surrounding settlement. The main idea beneath the design was to create a place where users will have enough privacy and space to get to know each other during common activities. The building has two floors. There is a cafe, MEP room and open public space with a playground and benches on the ground floor. On the first floor there are rooms of the community centre - library, club for seniors, art room, club for children, rehearsal room, multipurpose hall and office for employees of the centre. The rooms are set around an open court with intensive vegetation. The supporting structure of the building combines monolithic reinforced concrete on the ground floor with wooden and steel elements on the first floor.

Czech research centres' publication performance in the period 2008-2012, by field of research
Jurajda, Štěpán ; Münich, Daniel
Three years ago, we were the first in the Czech Republic to offer, in IDEA study 3/2012, a comparison of research publication performance (not productivity) based on data about the results of research and development in the period 2006-2010 for the research fields whose ouputs are largely recorded in the Web of Science database run by Thomson Reuters (WoS). For each field of research, we showed which Czech centre has the most results published in journals with a high impact factor (IF). In this study, we bring that comparison up to date for the period 2008-2012. This type of comparison, which is based on the Information Register of R&D Results [Rejstřík informací o výsledcích] (RIV) collated by the government's Council for Research, Development and Innovation (RVVI), identifies the research centres with the most prolific output of excellent results in a given field in the Czech Republic. It also enables us to compare fields in terms of the concentration of their journal publication output in individual research centres, and to look at the relationship between "points-based" RIV assessment and excellence of results.

The effects of choosing the pension system on the individual and on revenue and expenditure of the Czech Republic
Redl, Jan ; Klazar, Stanislav (advisor) ; Brabcová, Pavlína (referee)
This thesis deals with current pension reform and particularly with the new second pillar of the pension system. The current status of the pension system and negative demographic prognoses, which advocate the necessity of change, are described. Further, with a help of a study written by Ondrej Schneider and Jiri Satava (both Idea Cerge -- EI), the thesis analyses the benefits and ill effects of the second pillar of the system for an individual taking part in it. Various assumptions in the study were critically evaluated, especially the rate of profit. The prediction of the number of persons who will participate in the second pillar was accepted. On the basis of this number, the impact on revenues and expenditures of the pension system up to 2050 was modelled, assuming a certain demographic structure of population. Decreasing revenue is participated on revenues caused by opt-out. Expenditure is influenced by pension reduction and by increasing number of pension applicants. The cost of pension corporation which will take part in the second pillar was investigated too.

The impact of oil shocks in the seventies on the U.S. automotive industry
Líra, Marián ; Tajovský, Ladislav (advisor) ; Jeřábková, Zdenka (referee)
The period of the seventies was characterized by occurence of oil crises that defined the entire decade of economic development across the U.S. The theoretical section of the work is devoted to macroeconomic consequences of the increased oil prices and brings the idea of economic theory, which considers the oil shocks as a part of wider economic problems in the mentioned period. Analytical part examines the impact of increased oil prices on the concrete industry. It describes performance indicators of automobile producers in the U.S., sketch the entry of new competitors in the U.S. auto market and following gradual loss of dominance of domestic brands. Work further analyzes the consumer behaviour in terms of preferences of new model products and the usage of personal vehicles. In conclusion, the given legislative measures its impact on the development of car culture in the U.S. Synthesis of statistics on industry, regulatory and economic papers provides opinion, that even though the opportunity for change in the automotive industry due to the oil shocks of the seventies occurred, in the long term remain unused which lost the chance to eliminate the potential risk of future oil crisis in the american automotive sector.

Dynamics of business model in telecommunications
Filipová Fuchsová, Regina ; Malý, Josef (advisor) ; Machková, Hana (referee) ; Přikrylová, Jana (referee) ; Peterka, Jiří (referee)
This doctoral thesis is focused on the most progressive part of telecommunications nowadays, on Internet governance and Internet domain name system. This field is not only highly interesting, but only very little researched area from the point of view of economics sciences compared to the traditional fields. Recently, the question of Internet governance was highlighted, but it has been neither resolved nor sufficiently discussed so far. The theory does not answer many questions raised by the praxis sufficiently. The aim of the thesis was to describe the branch in detail and to develop an original model, which would characterise the dependency of the number of registrations on other indicators. This doctoral thesis of Regina Filipova Fuchsova brings a detailed analysis of factors influencing the domain name system. This is the first analysis of this art ever, which targets top level domains .cz and .eu. Typology of TLD registries and connection of domain name selection with the company strategy are further new findings. Based on own analysis and case studies, the author concludes, that there is a relatively strong dependency of the number of registered domains under the respective TLD on national economy characteristics and that the model of the relationship of a ccTLD registry and respective government significantly varies in particular countries. This is due to the historical development and national specifics. The author further came to the conclusion, that national and generic TLDs are partially substitutes and partially complements on national markets. It depends on concrete market and the degree of ccTLD liberalisation, because generic TLDs act as substitutes to the country code TLD on not liberalised markets and/or where the ccTLD is rather expensive. As for the liberalised markets, the growth of a ccTLD goes hand in hand with the growth of gTLD and they compete less. National TLDs of the EU countries and the European TLD .eu show the nature of complements according to the statistical analysis. There are significant theoretical and practical contributions of this work because of its wide content and original analysis in this field. The findings can be practically used for registry benchmarking and ideas related to the delegation of new top level domains.

The verification of detected assumptions for the reduction of servis a sentence
Horynová, Kateřina ; Buriánek, Jiří (advisor) ; Podaná, Zuzana (referee)
This Diploma thesis engages in problematic of the identification of needs and evaluation of risks by offenders of crime acts in the standpoint of developing the prediction tool, which could be used as a common tool in a prison and justice profession. This thesis is divided into two parts - the theoretical one and the empirical one. In the first - theoretical - part I introduce the basic concept of the evaluation of risks and its utilization in current prediction tools. I also mention here a historical development of these tools and their dividing according to the usage of statistical or dynamical factors. After that I also shortly introduce these days most common used tools in other countries. Then I focus on the development of czech (czechoslovak) evaluation tools and their specifics. Last chapter of the theoretical part introduces SARPO project in the meaning of slight description of its history and showing main ideas. Data analysis is based on dataset from SARPO 1 research (2009), which had to verify SARPO 1 utility tool. Besides the presentation of results and characteristics of dataset I will verify the propriety of designed mathematical model for calculation of risk through first and also second validization essay. Part of the analysis is also suggestion of alternative model for prediction...

PNF technique after arthroscopic stabilization of the shoulder
Benešová, Martina ; Holubářová, Jiřina (advisor) ; Pavlů, Dagmar (referee)
Title: PNF technique after arthroscopic stabilization of the shoulder joint Objectives: The objective of this work is to consider the possibility of use of the proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation technique (PNF) in early stages of rehabilitation after arthroscopic stabilization of the shoulder joint. The idea is to use the phenomen of irradiation with which this concept works. Methods: The pilot experimental group consisted of 7 healthy participants with simulated arthroscopic stabilization of the left shoulder joint. The electromyography was used to record the electric activity of musculus trapezius pars descendens, pars transversa et pars ascendens, musculus deltoideus pars acromialis, musculus infraspinatus and musculus pectoralis major pars sternocostalis on the immobilized left arm; while using the PNF technique on the peripheral parts of the immobilised arm; and on the contra lateral arm. A 5s sequence of stabilised isometric contraction was analysed and all data further normalised to Maximal Voluntary Contraction (MVC). Considering the literature the 20% increase above the MVC was defined as substantial to assure sufficient functional capacity of the muscle fibres and therefore sufficient to stop muscle atrophy during immobilisation of the arm. Results: Results of this study support...

The rise and fall of New Labour : a political ideology or just a trend?
Kopecká, Hana ; Rovná, Lenka (advisor) ; Váška, Jan (referee)
The Diploma thesis "The Rise and Fall of New Labour: A Political Ideology or a Just a Trend?" focuses on the analysis of a British political course called New Labour. The research focuses on internal and external factors that had allowed this ideology to dominate the British politics over the last 13 years under the established brand of Labour Party. This thesis constitutes a comparative case study, based on the theoretical assumption of time, as well as economic and social constrains of the New Labour phenomenon. The circumstances which back in 1997 allowed the election triumph of New Labour, are often similar to those, that let to its decline a decade later, amid the new social, economic and political climate, caused its decline. This hypothesis is confronted with a secondary research based on the evaluation of broader economic, social and political influences. While the study has proved the validity of the New Labour idea in times of favorable economic and political circumstances, such as the combination of divided opposition and economic boom, it has also shown its failure in the times of economic downturn. Although the vision of New Labour was rejected by the current Labour Party, research and the governing coalition prove that the ideology can successfully operate in combination with...

Molecular variability and distribution of the Frustulia rhomboides species complex (Bacillariophyceae)
Urbánková, Pavla ; Kulichová, Jana (advisor) ; Bešta, Tomáš (referee)
Recent use of molecular methods to revisit taxonomically problematic diatom species revealed severe limitations of morphological species concept. Characterization of diatom species which was based solely on the morphology of their frustules often generated too broad species boundaries which inevitably lead to wrong conclusions about their ecology and distribution. Widespread opinion that many diatom species are cosmopolitan generalists resulted in a theory that dispersal of diatoms is not limited by geographical distance. However, a number of recent studies showed that dispersal of diatoms is governed by the same rules which matter for macroorganisms. Proposed master thesis addresses the topic of diversity and dispersal in diatom species complex Frustulia rhomboides sensu lato in Europe and New Zealand. Results suggest that: (1) although revealed molecular variability in this complex shows clear ecological and biogeographical signal, it is not correlated in morphology. This is another support to general need for adoption of different species concept in diatoms. (2) A considerably uneven ratio in species diversity of genus Frustulia found in ecological similar habitats in Europe and New Zealand supports the idea that diatom dispersal is limited and stressed the need for studies dealing with biogeography.
