Factors influencing the transition of university graduates into the labour market
Mitkovová, Daniela ; Kuchař, Pavel (advisor) ; Soukup, Petr (referee)
The thesis is devoted to problem of transition of university graduates into the labor market. Having very complex character this situation is affected by many factors on both system and individual level. The starting point is the theory of human capital and the importance of its individual components. The paper focuses on activities that transcend mainly theory-oriented framework of university studies. These activities have been specified as working while studying, internships, studying or training in abroad. By the means of them university graduates can invest in their human capital and develop their competencies, and thereby increase their chances for better work in the form of higher income. Whether this in fact occurs was verified by secondary analysis of quantitative data from a research project REFLEX. Through multiple linear regression models was explored the influence of partial activities in comparison with the influence of variables indicative of the level of tertiary education on the gross income of university graduates from technical, economic and social science study programs. Finally, depending on the implementation of the partial activities differences in estimating own level of university graduates' competencies were evaluated.

Democratic Peace in Theory and Practice
Olejníková, Lenka Barbora ; Karlas, Jan (advisor) ; Rychnovská, Dagmar (referee)
The thesis "Democratic Peace in Theory and Practice" aims to present the Democratic Peace Theory as an international relations theory with a practical significance for the political practice. The Democratic Peace Theory will be first analysed as a part of a broad liberal tradition of International Relations Theory, and then particular ways of how the theory is empirically related to the practices of international politics will be examined. The main objective of the thesis is the analysis of the complex nature of the Democratic Peace Theory with the emphasis on the potentiality of the theory to have larger political impact.

Unemployment issues
Černostová, Daria ; Krištofová, Zuzana (referee) ; Šnýdrová, Ivana (advisor)
The purpose of this thesis is to summanze the most important aspects of unemployment. I have attempted to analyze in detail the issue of unemployment within the broadest possible context. The first part deals with a general introduction to this complex phenomenon in terms of historical context and economic theories. Another chapter presents an overview of the standard division of unemployment from the perspective of the state, in terms of time and in terms of an individual's approach. Further, my thesis analyzes unemployment in terms of psychology and refers to potential effects on an individual's life. In addition, the thesis deals with the issue of discrimination and its occurrence in the Czech Republic and abroad. The chapter on employability is very important, dealing with its close relevance to education. In conclusion, I present legal governance of unemployment in the Czech Republic and summarize the possible ways of fighting unemployment, such as Operational Programs, handicapped persons' support, re-training or measures taken by corporations or the state. In addressing the respective topic, I have relied upon underlying historical documents as well as modem approaches and foreign materials allowing for contrast comparison with the current situation in our country.

Seeking for Achilles heel of cyanobacteria
Maršálek, Blahoslav
Factors determining cyanobacterial success in aquatic ecosystems will be discussed and explained in the light of a complex environmental facrors and consequences. Special attention will be given on the nine main single-factors theories from the literature, which may explain cyanobacterial success: (TN/TP hypothesis, low light hypothesis, high light/low pH hypothesis, the buoyanvy hypothesis, elevated water temperature hypothesis, zooplankton grazing hypothesis, the storage strategy hypothesis, the inorganic nitrogen hypothesis and trace element hypothesis).Application of these single-factors hypotheses in a restoration programs provide ussually no significant success. We believe, that the combination of these hypotheses can more realistically explain the complex environmental facrors and consequences determining cyanobacterial success in aquatic ecosystems.

Visualizing pseudospectra for polynomial eigenvalue problems
Klimentová, A. ; Šebek, Michael
The use of pseudospectra is widespread in various applications, e.g. control theory, acoustics, vibrating systems. Through pseudospectra we can gain insight into the sensitivity of the eigenvalues of a matrix to perturbations that is convenient for robut control. We have implemented in Matlab a method to visualize e-pseudospectra for n x n polynomial matrix of degree greater that 2. We compute pseudospectrum for each point of the complex plane using transfer function approach.

Comprehensive study of internet microcommunities
Hejl, Radomír ; Raška, Ondřej (advisor) ; Tůma, Michal (referee)
The purpose of this work is to describe a comprehensive approach to internet micro-communities in its complexity both in theory and in practice. The work is focused above all on internet community managers or their owners and should provide them with theoretical and practical experience and procedures leading to easy founding of these micro-communities and at the same time how to expand and make them profitable. The work draws from practical experiences during development and administration of a traveller community ORBION.CZ and a pregnant/mother eMimino.cz community. I drew first from common principles in scientific literature and then tried to enrich this approach from practice and offer problem solutions based on my experience. This way I think I can treat the problems in an interesting manner. The work is divided into several topics representing community life-cycle. In the first place there is a notion clarification in theory and typology of internet communities. Then follows theoretical definition of users structure, description of community origin, its growth, sustainable growth and solution of frequent problems from practical point of view. The last part aims at theoretical possibilities of monetization and consequently business model options in practice.

Cognitive Sciences and the Paradox of Fiction
Staniševská, Aneta ; Zuska, Vlastimil (advisor) ; Kulka, Tomáš (referee)
The thesis being presented concerns an issue of the paradox of fiction viewed as a theme of anglo- american aesthetics of a second half of the twentieth century in a reflection of Colin Radford's thoughts and considerations of his critics. It also tries to regard emotional responses to fiction, disputable and paradoxical from Radford's point of view, within a "foreign" context of cognitive sciences, fragments of Antonio Damasio's theories especially, which could be able to provide a new perspective for the problem in question. Thesis definitely does not present itself as ambitiously reaching for a goal neither of grasping these theories in their complexity nor of solving the paradox but wants to elucidate the basis of it and put them in motion. For doing so, it uses selected and particular thoughts of a scientist who concerns with a phenomenon of emotions and their fundamental role in a human cognition and thinking. First chapter thus deals with Radford's formulation which is fundamental for whole problem as we assume. Second chapter provides insight to the complex of the criticism surrounding Radford's formulation in question. Some considerations appear significant for later synchronization with fragments of Damasio's theories in a way shown in the third chapter. Key words emotion, quasi-emotion,...

Czechoslovak State statistical office in the interwar period and statistical science development
Houska, Lukáš ; Závodský, Prokop (advisor) ; Maier, Tomáš (referee)
The thesis focuses on the creation and functioning of the State statistical office and its contribution to the statistical science and theory development. The main goal of the thesis is to make the readers acquainted with the first period of the czechoslovak state statistics and enable them to get a thorough look into the institution's publication activities. In this concept the thesis is divided into three parts. In the first one the "modus operandi" of the statistical office itself is described, the second part comes up with the State statistical office's most influential personalities' biografical data. The third part brings the description and analysis ot books, magasines and other pieces publication. At the conclusion of the third section the key works of the statistical theory are analysed. The enclosure of the thesis implies the attachment with published laws and regulations of the Czechoslovak republic, which are directly tied to the statistical office's activities, and also the list of pieces published int the two key editions of the publication system. The contribution of the thesis is in the complex insight on the topic of the czechoslovak statistics in the interwar period. By now only some fragments have been compiled and described.

Analysis of guaranteed investment funds
Mach, Jonáš ; Witzany, Jiří (advisor) ; Stádník, Bohumil (referee)
This thesis focuses on guaranteed investment funds, which have become very popular among investors in the Czech Republic in recent years. The reason for this popularity is the conservativeness of a typical domestic investor, who appreciates the lower bound for the value of his investment. Guaranteed funds characteristically have a complex structure and valuation of their profitability based solely on intuition is therefore impossible. This analysis tries to provide an answer to the question if investing in these funds is reasonable. A large part of the thesis is dedicated to the option theory and option valuation methods, including the famous Black-Scholes formula, as guaranteed investment funds have the characteristics of an option. Thanks to the complicated structure of these products, the analysis itself is done by Monte Carlo simulation.
