Using hislochemical analysis (NADPH-diaphorase) we have been investigating the influence of intraperitoneal administration of kainic acid, hypoxia and combination of both these factors on neurons of the hippocampus and on the primary auditory cortex in male rats of the Wistar strain. Kainic acid was administered to 12-day-old and I8-day-old animals, which were exposed to long-lasting repeated hypoxia from the 2nd till the 17th day of age in a hypobaric chamber (for 8 hours a day). At the age of 22, 90 and 365 days, the animals were transcardially perfused with 4% paraformaldehyde under deep thiopental anesthesia. Cryostate sections were stained to identify NADPH-d positive neurons that were then quantified in CA1 and CA3 areas of the hippocampus, in the hilus, dorsal and ventral blade of the dentate gyrus and in the primary auditory cortex. In 22-day-old animals with kainic acid administered 18th day of life both hypoxia and kainic acid increased the number of NADPH-d positive neurons in the hilus, CA1 and CA3 areas of the hippocampus and in the primary auditory cortex. On the contrary, kainic acid given to the hypoxic animals lowered the number of NADPH-d positive neurons in the dentate gyrus. In 90-day-old animals with kainic acid administered 18th day of life hypoxia and kainic acid given to both,...

Settlement in criminal proceedings
Hegerová, Klára ; Bohuslav, Lukáš (advisor) ; Vokoun, Rudolf (referee)
The topic of this diploma thesis is the settlement in criminal proceedings, one of diversions, or also alternatives to typical course and outcome of criminal proceedings. The settlement was incorporated into the Czech Criminal Procedure Code by the amendment n. 152/1995 Sb. with the effect on 1st September 1995. The settlement is an institute of criminal procedure law originating in restorative justice principles and its goal is to restore affected relationship between the defendant and the victim. Then proceedings of the settlement should not serve only to compensate the victim, as is sometimes perceived by the public, but also to clarify causes of the conflict during the active participation of both parties and to assume personal responsibility for the crime committed which may have significant effects in terms of criminal prevention. Despite the fact that the settlement is a form of diversion beneficial to the defendant (it leads to cessation of prosecution), victim (it is faster to obtain the compensation) and society (prevention from committing other crimes, relieving courts in favour of complex and serious crimes), it is rarely used in practice. In the first chapter I generally deal with the concept of diversions in criminal proceedings, their fundamental characteristics and common features...

Analysis of inflation in the Czech Republic
Holakovská, Adéla ; Formánek, Tomáš (advisor) ; Dlouhá, Zuzana (referee)
This work is focused on econometric analysis of inflation in the Czech Republic, there is also reported an analysis of inflation in Austria and continuity of both countries to the dominant German economy. The inflation with its forms and possibilities of measuring is described in the first part of this work. There is also mentioned the influence of Czech national bank on the inflation. Next, there is shown the impact of foreign exchange rates and inflation. Consequently there are described characteristics of time series, which are important from viewpoint of construction of econometric models. Next, there is described theory of econometrics analysis, focused on ordinary least squares method and method of instrumental variables. The empirical part contains econometric analysis of inflation itself, using models described in theoretical part. Moreover, this work includes other models, coming out of economic hypothesis. Firstly, it analyses inflation in Germany as the reference country. Secondly, further analysis performs inflation in the Czech Republic and Austria. Finally, an analysis based on ERPT (exchange rate pass-through) models is given. In conclusion, the results are well summarized and compared.

Rozvojové cíle tisíciletí a jejich plnění na příkladu Ázerbájdžánu
Součková, Martina ; Adamcová, Lenka (advisor) ; Němečková, Tereza (referee)
Diplomová práce je rozdělena do dvou hlavních částí. První část s názvem Rozvojové cíle tisíciletí se zabývá vznikem a formulací MDGs, nastiňuje výchozí situaci jednotlivých rozvojových regionů (včetně Kavkazu) na počátku 90. let a změnu, kterou od té doby do současnosti prošly. První část je rozdělena do kapitol dle jednotlivých MDGs, které sledují nejen plnění jednolitých cílů v daných regionech, ale také hlavní aspekty a problémy, které jejich úspěšnému plnění brání. Celkový záměr této části spočívá v charakteristice situace, ve které se jednotlivé regiony světa po 15 letech implementace MDGs nachází. Jejím cílem je tak nejen podat informaci o MDGs a jejich plnění ve světě, ale také ukázat, jak si v porovnání s ostatními regiony světa vede právě oblast Kavkazu. Druhá část práce s názvem Plnění Rozvojových cílů tisíciletí na příkladu Ázerbájdžánu se pak zabývá konkrétním příkladem plnění těchto cílů v podmínkách země z bývalého SSSR. Již bylo uvedeno, že země SNS se vyznačují odlišnými charakteristikami od RZ, je proto první kapitola druhé části věnována základní, zejména ekonomické, charakteristice Ázerbájdžánu. V druhé kapitole je pak zkoumáno plnění MDGs v této zemi, resp. jejich reformulace dle potřeb Ázerbájdžánu. Cílem druhé části práce je zhodnotit nejen vývoj ekonomické situace země a způsob, jakým naložila se svojí nespornou komparativní výhodou, ale také detailněji posoudit stávající situaci při plnění MDGs a případné nedostatky, které byly při formulaci a vlastním plněním cílů zaznamenány.

Metaphors and Analogies in Economics and Economic Education
Langer, Tomáš ; Krpálek, Pavel (advisor) ; Šlosár, Rudolf (referee) ; Pavera, Libor (referee)
Presented thesis explores the ground at the intersection of three topics: education, relational thinking and economics. Within the sphere of economic education it investigates the use of concepts known from (i) conceptual metaphor theory, (ii) psychological model of analogical reasoning, (iii) model of generative learning from educational psychology and (iv) existing research on use of metaphors and analogies in natural sciences education. Thesis shows the potential of metaphorical origin of economic terminology for teaching economic concepts and educational use of economic media content. At the same time it proposes a notation for visualizing metaphorical mappings between domains. It addresses economic interpretation from the viewpoint of the relationship between theoretical economic models and actual economic situations, as well as from the viewpoint of the relationship between mathematical structure of the model and its economic meaning. In the first case, it shows interpretative skill, being framed within the revised Bloom taxonomy, as a complex cognitive task, in the second case it develops model of economic interpretation of mathematical structures on the basis of psychological model of analogical reasoning. In both cases it formulates highlights students should know about the analogical nature of economic models. On the basis of the model of generative learning it develops a set of visual methaphors applicable in the introductory topics of microeconomics and macroeconomics and examines effects of their use in the classes of economics. By undertaking such research it initiates the exploration of paths leading in the directions suggested by the theoretical analysis.

Analysis of impact of Fundamental news on movement of index VIX
Koráb, Pavel ; Fičura, Milan (advisor) ; Vacek, Vladislav (referee)
The thesis investigates the impact of the fundamental news announcements on the movements of the VIX volatility index and the VIX Futures prices. The theoretical part of the thesis explains the construction of the VIX Index and the VIX Futures, describes the most important fundamental news for the US economy and presents a methodology for the modelling of the relationship between the news announcements and the VIX index movements with a simple linear regression model. In the empirical part of the thesis, we analyze the impact of 105 US fundamental news, from the Reuters Eikon database, on the VIX Index movements on theday of the news announcements as well as on the subsequent day. We find a strong relationship between the surprise component of the news and the VIX Index movements on the day of the news announcement, with the statistically significant news explaining 5-10% of the total return variance (for news with small number of observations up to 30-50%) on the announcement day. In the second part of the empirical study, simple trading system is proposed in order to utilize the possible impact of the economic news on the next-day (after announcement) returns of VIX futures in order to achieve speculative profits. Although the models seem to possess some limited out-sample profitability for some of the news, the results are for most of the cases statistically insignificant and the potential profits from the news trading seem to be relatively low.

This bachelor thesis deals with mortgage loans in the Czech Republic. Its goal is to characterize the mortgage loan, include it among banking products and outline the perspective of a client, a bank and a regulator. Other goals include analysis of the mortgage market development and selected influencing determinants. The first chapter describes the progress of mortgage lending especially on development in the Czech Republic from 1990 to the present. The following chapter includes the theoretical definition of the mortgage loan, explaining its significance and inclusion in the system of banking products. There is an example of rescheduling with tables - explaining the influence of the interest rate and the repayment period on the total cost of the mortgage loan. The third chapter deals with the financing of the mortgage loan from the bank point of view, focusing on mortgage bonds. The last chapter focuses on performance determinants influencing the evolution of the mortgage market. Subsequently, an econometric model is used to study their impact on the development of the mortgage market.
