Immigration and integration of foreigners in the UK
Slavíková, Jana ; Abrhám, Josef (advisor) ; Popovová, Marie (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to analyse the approach of the United Kingdom to immigration and integration of third country nationals. The analysis is joined by comparison with the situation and measures taken within the European Union. The paper depicts the development and changes of the EU integration policy and the current system of immigration policies in the United Kingdom. Attention is also drawn to the public opinion and perception of immigrants in the host societies. Since the 90s, the integration policies of the EU Member States seem to be converging to the "civic integration" model. Emphasis is placed on the individual integration of immigrants, but their group affiliation is also accepted. Integration has to be a two-way process, with efforts made by the immigrants as well as the host society. Despite that, it has rather become a precondition which has to be fulfilled by the immigrants in order to gain more rights. The United Kingdom is also starting to condition the admission and citizenship acquisition by fulfilling language and knowledge criteria, regarding the history, institutions and life in the country. Even though its integration policy is one of the most successful, the current steps raise doubts.

Differences in the basic pitch relevant to the perceptual distinction of melodemes in English
Veroňková, Jitka ; Palková, Zdenka (advisor) ; Krčmová, Marie (referee) ; Janota, Přemysl (referee)
As in the case of many other languages, the intonation fulfils certain linguistic functions in Czech. It distinguishes conclusive vs. non-conclusive clauses, declarative vs. interrogative clauses and neutral vs. marked usage clauses. In the case of declarative and interrogative clauses, the intonation is the single distinguishing feature. Structures of the basic patterns to express these linguistic functions were standardized and in general accepted, but not enough is known about their particular realizations. In general, these structure types are realized in the final stress unit of the utterance. It has been confirmed that the intonation courses of some functionally diverse contours are similar and there exist overlaps among them. The perceptual differences between contours can be caused only by the size of F0 excursions. Our research focuses on finding minimal distinctions in F0 excursions which are sufficient to distinguish phonologically different types of sentences. Some structure types can be fully realized on the at least three-syllable stress units, that is why these were chosen to be analysed. The research is based both on synthetic speech and natural one. Two sets of synthetic contours, first containg three-syllable stress units and the second the four-syllable ones, that cover the structure...

Financial Control in the System of Organizing Dues
Luňáková, Dana ; Zachař, Ivo (advisor) ; Koberová, Eva (referee)
The thesis analyses financial control as a part of financial management that deals with govemment subsidised organisations which manage public funds. A part of this work is research about the level of quality of the operative control systém at schools and a risk analysis. Fulfilling the goals of financial control helps public funds to be better used for a common benefit. Schools and educational facilities belonging to government subsidised organisationts are classified as public services and as such they have to implement a systém of financial control according to the law. The director of a government subsidised organisation provides internal financial audits according to the given law. This law is rather significant for school directors, because it also deals with external financial audits. Given the fact that this is a complicated matter, this work is collecting data about financial control and presents its findings to school directors to improve the quality of their internal control systém.

Evaluation in Tertiary Education
Mrňová, Olga ; Vašutová, Jaroslava (advisor) ; Semrád, Jiří (referee) ; Švec, Vladimír (referee)
Tertiary education institutions, academic community including students, and other stakeholders, e.g. government educational bodies, accrediting organizations, experts, employers and other representatives of the world of labour as well as general public have been recently focusing on accountability for excellent quality. This apparently global Phenomenon has influenced the Czech Republic as well as many other European countries that have to carry out the whole range of changes in traditional conception of school assessment. Various stakeholders in various countries however have their own perspective about institutional effectiveness and accountability. The best respond to their call for the demonstration of institutional effectiveness and accountability is a systematic institutional assessment and evaluation process, indicating how the institution fulfils its mission and goals. But different institutions in different countries have different cultures, characteristic features and missions. Thus it is meaningful to strive for a common understanding of what řccurs on a global basis, aiming at revealing relations through exploiting the knowledge about specific activities in the specific context of a respective country or institution.

The membership in European Union bears a change in reservation necessities on health care in the movement of persons within the countries of European Union, European Economic Area (i. e., Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein) and Switzerland. Diploma thesis, which is divided into two parts (theoretical and practical ones), summarizes accessible information about health insurance problems after the entry of the Czech Republic to the European Union. The objective of theoretical part is to summarize the problems of administration of health care within the countries of the European Union and find out consequences of the entry of the Czech Republic to the European Union for the Czech health insurance system. I present briefly the European Union, coordination of social security national systems, and the Czech health insurance system. Above all, the thesis is specialized in legal form of health insurance, in basic principles in administration of health care and in the extent of health care provided within the countries of the European Union. The special account is taken of problems of cross-border workers and Czech tourists. At the end of thesis information on the European Health Insurance Card and the Centre for Interstate Refund which fulfill the function of contact authority for the sphere of health insurance in the Czech Republic are mentioned. The objective of practical part of the thesis is to find out the legal consciousness of knowledge of the Czech Republic citizens of European law for the sphere of administration of health care in the European Union. Two hypotheses were set to accomplish the research target. The quantitative research methodology {--} technique of questionnaire was used in this survey. The research was realized in the South Bohemian Region, in the towns of České Budějovice and Strakonice. The respondents of the questionnaires were selected on purpose according to their age (from 30 years to 45 years). The research set icluded 120 respondents of both the sexes (citizens of the towns of České Budějovice and Strakonice). On the basis of obtained and proportionally evaluated research data, the both hypotheses were confirmed. The results of the research show the poor knowledge about the European law for administration health care sphere in the European Union in the citizens of České Budějovice and Strakonice. The diploma thesis can serve as a full-value information source for students, staff of health insurance companies and the general public. The questions of administration health care in the European Union is not entirely known among the general public and so the subject of this thesis can certainly clarify it.
