The thesis is dedicated to the Russian view on energy security. Its aim is to evaluate how successful is Russian energy policy in sustaining energy and economy security in longterm perspective, and how well it deals with current and future potential problems of energy sector. The topic became of interest due to recent oil price drop, which led Russian economy to crisis and gave rise to discussion on its dependency on fossil fuel exports. First chapter is dedicated to definition of energy security of Russia as an exporting country.

Actual trends in contactless payment, contribution of Apple and analysis of market in the Czech Republic including consumer preferences
Novák, Vladimír ; Schlossberger, Otakar (advisor) ; Čarný, Ján (referee)
The main objective of this work is to analyze current trends in contactless payments and consequently implement it on the Czech market. On this base this thesis deals with several wearable devices. Furthermore on this base is also working in the application part, where is one of the secondary objectives of the work to determine consumer preferences on the market of the Czech Republic. One of the secondary objectives is create a brief summary of the history of payment cards and within the sociological aspect to find a certain analogy in introducing innovations in the field of payments towards current trends in contactless methods. Within the secondary objectives there are simultaneously defined key assumptions forms of payment for success on the market. The following section focuses on electronic payments. Specifically, it deals with trends in electronic payment services, where for its implementation aren´t required the physical presence of the card or chip. Furthermore there are analyzed alternative paths in the current payment methods, namely peer-to-peer platforms. On these platforms is based shared economy, which also represents an interesting potential for the possible development of payment field. Chapter with alternative methods for cashless is finished by analyzing digital currencies. The hypothesis of this thesis is whether Apple can have an impact on the area of contactless payments and how it can affect the entire sector. Part of the hypothesis is the claim that Apple manages to change the area of contactless payments, such as happenede in the music industry with iTunes and then in the telecommunications industry with a revolutionary iPhone. Potential benefit of Apple is defined by the method of description. Potential contribution of Apple Pay is characterized by logical deduction base on previous relationships. Conclusion is by quantitative research method, namely through the consumer research, assessed consumer preferences in the Czech Repulic and is also evaluated the hypothesis of potential benefits of Apple contactless payments.

As the 20th century is a period of huge changes also in the relationship between the state and the church (or between the society and the church), there might be an interesting (and yet unanswered) question, if and how the church administration has reacted to the changes of the political, economical and demographical situation in this period. Exposed study is based on the till now mostly omitted collection of sources for studying of the church administration's structure, i.e. collection of catalogues of clergy, which are conserved at the chancellery of the Prague archbishopric. The study describes the catalogues of clergy, brings basic information about the changes of the structure of the administration of the Prague Archdiocese and about the changes in the religious structure of its inhabitants, indicates some possible contexts between both topics and finally describes the initial steps of the renewal of parishes' process, initiated at the threshold of the 21st century.

This bachelor thesis is focused on a Evaluation of SMT translation systems (Google Translate, Bing) from French to Czech: collocations related to "Waste management". At first, the work describes a brief history of machine translation. Then the work describes the basic principles of machine translation like the rule-based machine transla-tion, the statistical machine translation, the hybrid machine translation and the by com-puter aided translation. The online translators GT and MB are introduced as well. These translators are completed by specific studies of correctness their evaluations.

The application of legal standards in materials engineering
Večeřa, Petr ; Pantělejev, Libor (referee) ; Pavloušková, Zina (advisor)
The thesis describes points where the basic universal prescriptive system of law interferes with the questions of materials engineering. The main part of the thesis concerns legal liabilities, mainly civil liability represented with liability for defects. Basic analysis of chosen topics concerning liability for defects is done, defects are divided into groups as far as both technical and legal point of view is concerned. Consequently, the most common methods, principles and tests used for recognition and assessment of materials characteristics, both destructive and non-destructive, are described. Chapter, which deals with degradation processes follows. Integral part of the thesis are thoughts of possible types of legal liabilities, which could be important for materials engineers, with basic recommendations for contracting, as well as chosen problems connected with judicial proceedings and out of court settling of disputes. Technical standards are described with high attention, because both technical and legal public is not familiar with the legal background of technical normalisation.

Utilization of clays with low sintering temperature in brick technology
Sláma, Jakub ; Skotal, Zbyněk (referee) ; Sokolář, Radomír (advisor)
Bachelor thesis focuses on the use of the low sintering clays as additives in brickmaking. Their main use in the brick industry is mainly in the production of facing bricks and roof tiles. They are used for their very good sintering ability even at relatively lower firing temperatures. This feature is the most important for frost resistence of brick fragment. The theoretical part contains a summary and characteristic features of clays occurring in the Czech Republic and abroad. Further their requirements and laboratory testing of brick clay. In the practical part was conducted market research where are outlined available low sintering clays that may be proposed for use in brick fragment based on declared sintering. An experiment was performed in the next part of bachelor thesis to assess the effect of using low sintering clay in terms of particular brick factory in the Czech Republic (Tondach Šlapanice).
