European Bank Mergers and Acquisitions:do they Create Value for Shareholders?
Stárová, Hana ; Teplý, Petr (advisor) ; Havel, Jiří (referee)
The European banking industry has experienced profound change in regulation, technology and market structure over the last two decades. Since the late 1990s, a strong wave of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and market consolidation process have been induced by changing external environment. The aim of this thesis is to find out whether M&A transactions in the European banking sector can be justified by creating value for involved banks' shareholders. For this purpose we first discuss theoretical motives, which indicate the potential sources of value creation. Furthermore, we conduct an event study examining value implications of 59 M&A transactions of listed European banks carried out between 1998 and 2007. Our findings suggest large value creation for the targets' shareholders. On contrary, significant value destruction is found for shareholders of the bidding banks. The net wealth effect for combined entities of targets and bidders is still significantly positive; therefore, we conclude that banking M&As have been successful. Moreover, we present results for several sub-samples analysing differences in terms of value creation between domestic and cross-border deals, cash and equity-financed deals and transactions of different sizes.

Hýla, Ondřej ; Cibulková, Petra (advisor) ; Knotková, Vladimíra (referee)
The bachelor thesis focuses primarily on analyzing foreign direct investments of Russian companies. Their growing foreign investment activity started to draw attention mainly because of rising concerns over the nature and reasons for the investments. The most notorious case is Gazprom which often provokes speculations whether its investments are of purely economic motivations or political reasons can be also found behind them. These speculations reflect the shift in the ownership structure of the companies and their investment targets in host countries.

Steps of the European Comission to Reduce the CO2 Emissions from Passenger Cars
Nováková, Hana ; Geuss, Erik (advisor) ; Branžovský, Antonín (referee)
The Bachelor Degree Thesis deals with the air pollution and emissions of CO2 from passenger cars. The EU signed the Kyoto protocol, which binds the member states to reduce emission of CO2 by 8% against the year 1990. While is reducing in other sectors succesfull, emissions in transport keep rising. That is why the European Comission decided to create a legislation to reach the average fleet emission target of 130 g/km with the motor vehicle technology and next 10 grams with other improvements like biofuels, ecodriving, better infrastructure or traffic lights. It means that in 2012 the fleet of a manufacturer should emit 120 g/km in average. The European Comission concerns with how to make the proposal equitable to all car manufacturers. The emission limit will probably be set by the weight of the car with the motivation of reducing the weight of cars. The thesis describes also negative social impacts, which the propsal might have. An opinion of many interested parties was taken into account. The exact legislation should be proposed soon.

The reemigration of the Czech minority from Daruvar region (Croatia) after the Second World War in the light of their life stories.
Pelikánová, Hana ; Uherek, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Kandert, Josef (referee)
In my thesis I am dealing with the subject of the afterwar reemigration of Czech from Daruvar region (Croatia), the center of Czech minority in the Northern Balcan which was enjoying a flourishing cultural and economical growth in the interwar period. After WWII many of the settlers decided to return to their old homeland in the process of the so-called reemigration which had to compensate for the forced departure of the expelled German minority from the Czech lands. In my thesis I have recorded life-story interviews with expatriates from Daruvar region and I am focusing on several issues in connection with these events. First of all, I am trying to reconstruct the circurmstances, motivation and the course of the reemigration transfers. Secondly, I am also dealing with the topic of the integration of expatriates in the society which had undergone thorough socioeconomical changes after the WWII. Finally, I am analysing the individual evaluations of this life experience and the positive and negative consequences it brought to the expatriates and their families.

Nutritional requirements of ticks.
PERNER, Jan
Ticks acquire nutrients only by a parasitic nature of feeding on animals, including humans. During this process, a wide array of pathogens is transmitted. Ticks of the Ixodidae family receive exactly one blood meal in each active developmental. Knowing the trophic dependence of tick metabolism on the host blood meal components may enable discovering processes essential for the tick physiology and development. Exploiting a membrane system of tick feeding and whole blood fractionation, we have revealed that adult ticks need to acquire host haemoglobin-derived haem so that they can produce viable larvae, and reproduce. Haem is not further catabolised in ticks, and iron is thus acquired via independent route with the host serum transferrin as a source molecule. Using RNA-seq, we compared transcriptome compositions between guts of blood- and serum-fed ticks. We identified fifteen gut transcripts that change their levels with respect to the presence/absence of dietary red blood cells. Glutathione S-transferase, one of the identified encoded molecules, shows a clear haeminresponsive expression at both transcript and protein levels. Its apparent haem-binding properties suggest that this protein is directly involved in haem homeostasis maintenance within the tick gut. The ultimate goal of such research is to identify and verify targets that, when blocked, would render the acquisition and/or distribution system of haem in ticks nonfunctional. This would represent a novel way of anti-tick interventions in veterinary and human medicine.
