The cultural standards show clearly the essential differences of Norwegian and Czech culture. The thesis also includes advice and recommendations for effective communication with the Norwegians. This thesis could thus serve mainly to everyone who intends to communicate or cooperate with Norwegian business partners. The theoretical part contains the processes of social interaction and intercultural communication and also the concepts of cultural standards and dimensions.

ŠIMEČKOVÁ, Veronika
Dissertation thesis - "The use of elements of alternative education system of Maria Montessori for street children in Zambia" - is dedicated to the education of vulnerable children and "street children" in Zambia. In the introduction to the theoretical part of the thesis, the author describes Zambia itself and thereafter in following chapters, she outlines the main issues on which a detailed analysis of poverty, HIV / AIDS and its impact especially on children is presented. She gives more detailed information concerning the questions of the Zambian education; she introduces its main characters and to summarise this chapter, she deals with the particular division of the Zambian education. Given that the author in her work in Zambia found out that the reason of inefficiency in education is caused by lack of financial resources and inefficiency in educational system itself, she focused exactly on this issue. Furthermore, she treats the area devoted to volunteering and its regularities. The problem of vulnerable children and "street children" can be understood as one of the many consequences of poverty in Zambia. Street children are divided into two groups Children in the Street and Children of the Street. The difference in these two groups is essential; and that the first group spends the free time on the street and the second group lives on the street. In conclusion of the theoretical part, the author introduces the alternative pedagogy of Maria Montessori and she indicates the most important and the most basic principles, elements and specific areas of learning. The research section presents results in relation to the objectives of the dissertation thesis, which she set at the beginning and then got in the research effectuated in the years 2006 - 2009 in Zambia where she focused on the implementation of education and leisure time activities for vulnerable children (OVC / Orphans and vulnerable children) and "street children" of preventive social project of educational and leisure time activities in compaundu (slum) Kalingalinga. The author chose four goals to complete her research. The first objective was to determine whether is possible to use some elements of the pedagogy of Maria Montessori for the education and leisure time activities of vulnerable children (OVC / Orphans and vulnerable children), and "street children"; the second aim was to develop methodological tools and handouts, which will be adapted according the internal culture of the country and social status of children. The third goal was to create a suitable leisure time activities for children of the street, which will again correspond to the nature of children. The fourth goal was to improve cooperation, coordination among the trainees who go to Zambia effectuate the social project. Methodical handouts and instructions, worked out by the author, for working with these children are also a part of this chapter. All the goals of the work had been fulfilled and the author proved that the elements of alternative education of Maria Montessori in education and creation of leisure time activities can be used for vulnerable children and "street children".

Examination of cerebeller function in patients with scoliosis
Drdáková, Lenka ; Kobesová, Alena (advisor) ; Slováčková, Lenka (referee)
Purpose: The aim of this research was to determine whether there is a difference in the presence of minimal cerebellar signs, hypermobility and dyspraxia in the group of patients with idiopathic scoliosis (IS) and a control group of individuals without IS. Methods: 11 patients have been selected for this research with IS and 11 individuals without IS as a control group. The International Cooperative Ataxia Rating Scale (ICARS) was used for examination of cerebellar signs. Hypermobility was evaluated with ten tests according to Janda. The presence of pendulum reflexes was determined by examination of patellar and triceps reflex, while dyspraxia was analyzed by means of the Czechoslovak test. Results: Patients with IS scored significantly worse in ICARS than the control group (p < 0,05). IS patients presented with significantly more pronounced hypermobility in head rotation (p = 0,0384) and forward bending (p = 0,0409) tests comparing to the control group. No significant difference between the two groups was identified in pendulum reflexes and the Czechoslovak dyspraxia test. Conclusion: The study confirms significantly more positive signs of ataxia and asynergy in a group of patients with IS comparing to control group. Hypermobility was significantly more pronounced in head rotation and forward...

A new role of the European Central Bank in financial supervision
Hartmann, Ivo ; Tomášek, Michal (advisor) ; Šmejkal, Václav (referee)
This Thesis shall analyze the development, resp. the actual changes made in the structure of the European financial supervision system. The analysis is done with a view to the deepening economic integration of the Member States of the European Union, whereby in the Thesis the European supranational financial supervision is perceived as a necessary result of the supranational economic cooperation. However, it is also to be borne in mind that the structure of the European financial supervision is or - at least so far - it has been very imperfect, because the Member States of the European Union were willing neither to institutionalize the cooperation in the sphere of the supranational financial supervision nor to hand over any supervision competences to the supranational level. The Thesis takes into account, in particular, the impacts of the world financial crisis and its influence on the European financial supervision structure. However, with a view to the fact that the Thesis analyzes the long-term development of the European financial supervision as well as incentives, obstructions and goals of the particular former reform steps undertaken in this field, in addition to the impacts of the world financial crises the Thesis also analyzes other decisive factors. As for other factors that - from our...

Political and economical development of selected COMECON countries in the seventies and eighties
Szobi, Pavel ; Jakubec, Ivan (referee) ; Stellner, František (advisor)
The Council for Mutual Economic Assistance (Comecon) was an organization which was founded much more because of political than economic reasons. During the first years of its existence it was a soviet power instrument to control the economics of the Eastern Europe and later it became a middle o so called socialist economic integration. The most important part in it played the German Democratic Republic and Czechoslovakia, countries with the best developed industry in the soviet bloc. Their economies supported less developed allied countries and lastly also the Third world countries which assumed the idea of communism. Often comparisons of the Comecon to the West European integration caused that the Eastern bloc tried to establish cooperation with the European Economic Community and to imitate its success. But an analysis has shown the pointlessness of these attempts. The Eastern bloc wasn't able to reform its institution for an economic integration and the downfall of totalitarian regimes automatically leaded to the Comecon decline.

Integration of Heterogeneous Information Systems
Kulhánek, Jiří ; Zavoral, Filip (advisor) ; Král, Jaroslav (referee)
Information systems are becoming an inseparable part of today's world. Together with their significance arise an emergency to integrate them to enable their mutual cooperation and so extend the facility and quality of their use. Nevertheless, this integration is carrying a number of difficulties and obstacles, which are needed to be dealt with by architects of these new and often unexplored solutions. In this work the given problematic is summarized, the basic concepts of possible approaches are introduced and the concrete challenge connected to the integration are aimed together with the ways how to solve them. Thanks to this, the project Integration of Information Systems of Charles University with its architecture of Data-Pile structure and the project Unitary Network of Italian Government as an example of Cooperating Information System can be analyzed in detail. These two integrating solutions from practice are illustrative examples of actual problems in this field, which we face in this day and age.
