Erlichová, Linda ; Volenec, Otakar (advisor) ; Knotková, Vladimíra (referee)
Purpose of this diploma thesis is to analyze foreign aid as a stabile part of nations expenditures of all developed countries since 60's. But at the same time foreign aid not being important enough for developed countries to manage it more effectively. This diploma thesis analyses among others development of different economic approaches on this topic, financial flows of this sort since the beginning and also an analysis of foreign aid as whole as well as some of its parts. I`m also trying to find reasons why developed nations provide foreign aid and also motives for accepting it by developing nations. Also trade liberalisation is described as the only way of solving foreign aid poor effeciency.

International Professional Migration of Nurses and its Cultural Aspects, case study: the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Babilonová, Zuzana ; Lehmannová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Beroušek, Petr (referee)
The thesis is focused on the professional migration of Czech nurses to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. In the beginning I characterize migration theories that together with other chapters about the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, healthcare systems of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Czech Republic create basis for the research that is presented in chapter 5. Objectives of the research, which is the crucial part of the thesis, are to reveal motivations of the Czech nurses that lead to migration to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, their imaginations and expectations bounded with work and life in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Also I would like to find out if the expectations were met and if they want to work and live in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on a longterm basis. Based on the results of the research, I conclude that Czech nurses do not want to stay in such country on a longterm basis especially due to big cultural differences between Saudi Arabian and Czech culture. At the end of the thesis I briefly characterize intercultural training that could help Czech nurses with their adaptation to Saudi Arabian culture.

Phonetics in the teaching of German as a foreign language
Holá, Klára ; Machač, Pavel (referee) ; Berglová, Eva (advisor)
This thesis explains the role of phonetics in the teaching of German as a foreign language. The beginning examines the present state - here I try to target in particular the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages and its parts that have to do with phonetics. Next, I explain certain terms with which I work with in most of the thesis. The next chapter concentrates on the role that phonetics play in the teaching of foreign languages. In the practical part of this work I deal with the differences of Czech and German pronunciation. The changes I discovered by comparing both languages became the fundamentals of the phonetic analysis of twenty recordings that obtained a total of 1480 analyzed documents, from which I determined that Czech students have the hardest time pronouncing the following German sounds , , , and . The task of the next analysis was to determine how the pronunciations of these problematic sounds are processed in the following text books: Delfin, Planet and Tangram. The best text book was Tangram, then Delfin and the worst was Planet. Unfortunately, none of the text books emphasize pronunciation and exercising it to a sufficient degree.

The second chapter deals with the interrogation in general and its definition, targets, subject and with the division of the interrogation into particular kinds from various points of view. The third chapter contains the interpretation of the term Child in accordance with the Czech law, the criminal procedural regulation of interrogation of children and also the periodization of the child's age based on the stages of development of the human psyche. The forth chapter concerns the preparation of the interrogation, division of the preparation of the interrogation into analytic and synthetic part and with particularities which must be obeyed by the interrogator before the beginning of the interrogation itself.

Stimulant drugs and their physiological effects
Nováková, Pavlína ; Novotný, Jiří (advisor) ; Hejnová, Lucie (referee)
The category of stimulant drugs is a heterogenous group of substances which benefit-to-harm ratio varies widely. This work attempts to use a systemic approach in order to characterize the underlying basis of the physiological effects of their selected representatives in brain. A brief pharmacological description of caffeine, nicotine, cocaine, amphetamine and methamphetamine is followed by an identification of main molecular targets of these drugs in the context of respective neurotransmitter systems. Major attention is given to both acute and chronic molecular mechnisms of action of the selected stimulant drugs up to the level of selected relevant neural circuits. In the next section stimulant drugs are presented as Trojan horses that attack the motivational system of the brain. Initially, a theoretical analysis of reward together with a neuroanatomical dissection of reward-related circuitry serves as a basis for the formulation of contemporary theories of drug addiction. Finally, an effort is made to synthesize common molecular events with specific aspects of reward in order to draw a picture of the neurobiological view of addiction.

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.
