Skill-Intensity of Occupations, Labor Market Polarization, and Occupational Allocation of College Graduates
Pertold-Gebicka, Barbara ; Jurajda, Štěpán (advisor) ; Cardoso, Ana Rute (referee) ; Weber, Andrea (referee)
Skill-intensity of occupations, labor market polarization, and occupational allocation of college graduates. Barbara Pertold-Gebicka Abstract The first chapter is motivated by a rapid expansion of higher education systems in Central European countries, where universities are largely state-funded and provision of higher education is a public policy decision. In this paper, I investigate an indicator of college skills usage - the fraction of college graduates employed in "college" occupations. Gottschalk and Hansen (2003) propose to identify "college" occupations based on within-occupation college wage premia; I build on their strategy to study the local-labor-market relationship between the share of college graduates in the population and the use of college skills. Empirical results based on worker-level data from Czech NUTS-4 districts suggest a positive relationship, thus supporting the presence of an endogenous influence of the number of skilled workers on the demand for them. Thus, the findings of this paper suggest that, in the long run, districts should be able to positively stimulate their labor markets by providing higher education to a larger fraction of their population. In the second chapter, I propose a model-based measure of occupational skill-intensity -- a measure allowing to consistently...

Image Segmentation
Mikeš, Stanislav
Image segmentation is a fundamental part in low level computer vision processing. It has an essential influence on the subsequent higher level visual scene interpretation for a wide range of applications. Unsupervised image segmentation is an ill-defined problem and thus cannot be optimally solved in general. Several novel unsupervised multispectral image segmentation methods based on the underlaying random field texture models (GMRF, 2D/3D CAR) were developed. These segmenters use efficient data representations that allow an analytical solutions and thus the segmentation algorithm is much faster in comparison to methods based on MCMC. All segmenters were extensively compared with the alternative state- of-the-art segmenters with very good results. The MW3AR segmenter scored as one of the best available. The cluster validation problem was solved by a modified EM algorithm. Two multiple resolution segmenters were designed as a combination of a set of single segmenters. To tackle a realistic variable lighting in images, the illumination invariant features were derived and the illumination invariant segmenter was developed. For the proper evaluation of segmentation results and ranking of algorithms, a unique web-based texture segmentation benchmark was proposed and implemented. It was used for comprehensive...

Application of selected conceptual nursing models on client with huntington's disease
Běhounek, Jan ; Židovská, Jana (advisor) ; Jirkovský, Daniel (referee) ; Jarošová, Darja (referee)
Bachelor thesis discourse possibilities of the usage of conceptual nursing models. Gordon's model is applied on client with Huntington's disease diagnosed in different stages of the disease. Johnson's model is presented on sample case reports. The focus of the thesis is a numeric representation of certain differences that the application of the Gordon's model bears. Namely - different level of cooperation and self sufficiency of patients with same primary diagnose. Surveyed sample included 5 men diagnosed with Huntington's disease, each in one of the five described stages of the disease. Two of them were receiving outpatient care, three of them were hospitalized in psychiatry clinic. Research study - The state of nursing documentation in Czech Republic, or more precisely - experience with practical application of mentioned concepts. The sample size included 108 healthcare providing institutions from Czech Republic, or more precisely opinion of head nursing representatives of these institutions.

OWL Editor
Gajdoš, Michal ; Eckhardt, Alan (referee) ; Nečaský, Martin (advisor)
This bachelor thesis describes usage and development of the Growler software project. The Growler programme is a graphical editor of ontologies written in the OWL language, which belongs to the (group of) semantic web formats. The editor is capable of reading, modifying and saving documents in the OWL format. The Growler allows designing of ontologies in a visual and a non-visual mode and modification of special elements that exist in the RDF/XML syntax. Users are free to switch between the individual modes. The visualisation displays resources together with their assigned properties. Displayed resources can be directly edited. Besides graphical editation the Growler contains a set of forms designed for non-visual modification of classes, properties and individuals. Resources in the form editor are represented using a hierarchically ordered tree. A user works with the application on a project level, into which ontology documents are inserted. Simultaneously there is a possibility of importing an external ontology into a project, based on a given URI. The Growler is developed and distributed as a plugin for the Eclipse platform.

ANALYSIS OF INTRADEPARTMENT DIRECTIVE IN CONDITIONS OF SELECTED PRIMARY SCHOOL
PŘEVRÁTILOVÁ, Alena
The principle of this labour was to analyse intradepartment directives of allowance organization. To the elaboration of this theme was the most important thing to clarify the basic information about non-profit associations, that means their creation, existence, economy etc.The first part of this labour is located on theoretical expectations necessary for creating internal rules and procedures. The primary target was to create understandable interpretation current bylaw of chosen primary school. By practical rating has been demonstrated, that the internal rules and procedure of chosen primary school are on high-level. Even if we can recommend some upgrades.

The Placenta and Antiphospholipid Antibodies in Etiology of Recurrent Abortions
Martincová, Petra ; Andělová, Kateřina (advisor)
Antiphospholipid syndrome is characterized by arterial and venous thrombosis, recurrent pregnancy loss, and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). It is associated with antiphospholipid antibodies, which are subdivided to anti-cardiolipin antibodies, lupus anticoagulant antibodies, and antibodies against proteins. Anti-2GPI is the best known antibody against proteins. 2GPI binds to negatively charged phospholipids, like cardiolipin, phosphatidylserine, and phosphatidylinositol. Antiphospholipid antibodies influence several processes, such as hemostasis and cell and complement activation. Complement is the main mediator of tissue injury in the placenta. Initially, the classical pathway of complement activation is induced via C1, then, at the level of C3, the alternative pathway joins and amplifies the damage. It has been shown that interactions between complement anaphylatoxin C5a and its receptors play a key role in causing injury. The murine model has shown that by inhibition of the complement pathway at this level, pregnancies can be rescued. The etiology of placental injury involves three important molecules; these molecules first initiate a proinflammatory state which then allows subsequent induction of the prothrombotic state. The prothrombotic state is the best known complication of antiphospholipid...

Prevention of patient harm caused by wrong drug administration
Ratzová, Hana ; Marx, David (advisor)
The diploma thesis surveys the most important problematic fields of the patient safety issue; particularly in the context of drug administration. In the general part there are described the risks associated with LASA medications, using of concentrated electrolyte solutions, incorrect patient identification and wrong communication. Reported clinical cases of medication errors that occurred in connection with the triggers mentioned above are demonstrated and there are listed recommendations aimed at preventing the adverse events and assuring safe care. The closing part of the thesis describes and compares how the Antwerp University Hospital and three teaching hospitals in Prague ensure the safety of drug administration. The thesis manifests a noticeably more elaborate system of education and promotion of the patient safety issues both among the staff and among the patients and their families in the Antwerp University Hospital. Also the technical assuring of the right medication (barcode scanners, automated dispensing devices in certain wards etc.) was in the Belgian hospital on higher level comparing to the average of the followed Czech hospitals.
