Meluzínová, Jana ; Gregar, Aleš (referee) ; Myšková, Renáta (referee) ; Kocmanová, Alena (referee) ; Putnová, Anna (advisor)
The aim of the thesis is to project and verify a model focused on assessment of human capital management in relation to company efficiency in selected sector – banking in Czech Republic. The model is projected in the following steps. Main areas of human capital management which are significant in terms of the relevant sector are identified by synthesis of the findings arising from preliminary research. Relevant variables are identified according to main areas. The degree of significance variables is established by a questionnaire survey. Subsequently, the number of variables is reduced by using statistical methods in order to preserve the original information. The last step is the presentation of the model proposal. Subsequently, the model is verified.

Excited States of Carotenoids and Their Roles in Light Harvesting Systems
KEŞAN, Gürkan
Carotenoids are an extensive group of natural pigments employed by a majority of organisms on earth. They are present in most organisms, including humans, but can be synthesized only by plants and microorganisms. They perform two major roles in photosynthesis, often in partnership with the more prevalent chlorophylls (Chls) / bacteriochlorophylls (BChls): light-harvesting and photoprotection. Carotenoids absorb radiation in a spectral region inaccessible to Chls and BChls and transfer the absorbed energy to (B)Chls which, in turn, funnel it into the photosynthetic reaction center (RC). It is determined that the structures and dynamics of excited states of carotenoids found in photosynthetic proteins provide an explanation of their roles as light-harvesting and photoprotective agents. The conjugation length and the type of carotenoids play a big part in understanding the energy transfer from carotenoids to Chls and BChls, because excited-state properties of carotenoids are affected by number of conjugated C=C bonds and their structures. An accurate description of these states is, therefore, the crucial first step in explaining carotenoid photochemistry and understanding the interactions between carotenoids and other molecules in photobiological processes. The research in this thesis, femtosecond ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy was used to study the light-harvesting function of carotenoids both in solvent and protein environment. The findings were supported with computational methods. Based on spectroscopic indications, the light-harvesting function of carotenoids has a bearing on their structures, and specific light-harvesting strategies are explicitly dependent with the structure of the light-harvesting complexes.

Importance of communication elements for management
Holeček, Petr ; Fiedler, Jiří (advisor) ; Stanislav, Stanislav (referee)
The thesis deals with communication in managerial practice. The aim is to identify the importance managers attach to specific elements of communication. Each of us sees communications as natural and normal activity. However, communication should always correspond to what purpose is served and what style should be used. In conjunction with the management of activities is already communicating on a higher level with its specific aspects. Now setting effective communication is essential for the operation of the company, which alone can compete. Communication is also also an important part of company activities, since it is managerial communication significantly affects not only the prosperity of the company and its operations, but also employee satisfaction and the ability to motivate and to achieve the goals. Managerial communication also helps to manage communications managers and develop their skills. Outputs, which can be obtained by processing data can serve seam managers involved in the research, using data which we obtained via questionnaire. They can then apply not only in their work but also for other workers in the company.

The influence of brand on consumer buying behavior
Aliapulios, Telis ; Vokáčová, Lucie (advisor) ; Ludmila, Ludmila (referee)
The diploma thesis concerns with influence of Apple brand on consumer buying behavior. The aim of thesis is to qualify the influence of brand on consumer buying behavior on smartphone market. From this conditions will arise the recommendations to Apple company, how is possible to bolster its position on mobile phone market. The theoretical part of thesis place emphasis on description of marketing mix, brand theory and consumer buying behavior. Practical part is based on studied secondary data. There is detailed description of Apple company its brand building strategy, situation on smartphone market with marketing instruments, that are used on this specific market. Quantitative questionnaire survey performed in electronical form creates a core of the practical part of the thesis and is preceded by qualitative pre-survey on seven iPhone users. Precisely 154 respondents participated on questionnaire survey that observed thoughts and judgements of questioned people about Apple brand. There are included opinions of owners, that own various smartphone brands and also respondents from the group of Apple iPhone users. The responses of both groups are in the chapter of appraisal results and conditions compared along with studied secondary data. These outcomes of questionnaire survey and secondary data are used as a framework to completion several recommendations for Apple brand and the whole company on this market. Almost three quarters of owners, that use all chosen smartphone brands, perceive the prices of Apple smartphones as overly high. Just as the first group evaluates the situation a bit more than half of the iPhone users, although inside this group is a lower sensitivity on Apple products price perception. One of the important recommendation for Apple company is to be more efficient in communication about the adjustment of its smartphone prices and pricing policy towards to consumers across the countries. It is necessary to obtain more consumers from a group of new Apple brand users and students. These expects the offer of cheaper smartphone in high quality medium category. In case of their satisfaction is there scope for Apple to offer them its premium smartphones in the top category.

New Methods in Statistical Speech Recognition
Klusáček, David ; Hajič, Jan (advisor) ; Psutka, Josef (referee) ; Černocký, Jan (referee)
Title: New Methods in Statistical Speech Recognition Author: David Klusáček Department: Institute of Formal and Applied Linguistics (ÚFAL), Faculty of Mathematics and Physics in Prague, Malostranské náměstí 25, 118 00 Praha 1. Advisor: Prof. RNDr. Jan Hajič, Dr., Institute of Formal and Applied Linguistics. Abstract: This works aims to identify limits of contemporary speech rec- ognizers and tries to come up with methods that could push back the fron- tiers. After describing the state of the art, the weakest link of the chain has been identified in the acoustic front-end, especially when working in harsh acoustic conditions. NUFIBA front-end, the proposed solution, includes re- verb compensation and speaker/background segmentation as well as contin- uous SNR monitoring which, thru cooperation with acoustic model, hinders from avalanche spreading of recognition errors. Owing to the lack of time, only a phoneme recognizer was finally implemented, although large blocks of originally intended word-based continuous speech recognizer were implemented and tested (such as the MMI-class based language model).

Availability of urban green spaces in European cities
Malach Čejková, Petra ; Čihař, Martin (advisor) ; Reif, Jiří (referee)
Most of the European population and half of the world population lives in cities and their share will probably continue to increase (UN, 2010). With increasing urbanization, urban green spaces are becoming the most available means of contact with "nature" for more and more people. The aim of this bachelor thesis was to try to determine which factors affect the recreational use of urban green spaces. As the main factor was expected the availability of green spaces, ie. their quantity in the area of residence. The basis of the thesis was available literature on this subject, confronted with the outcomes of visitors monitoring in five forests in Prague between May 2009 and April 2010. The visitors monitoring followed a long series of studies, which were executed mainly by Institute for Enviromental Studies, Faculty of Science,Charles University, mostly as a dissertation thesises, in Prague forests and in Czech national parks. In this submitted thesis, particular attention was paid to data from the Prokopske udoli, where the author coordinated the visitors monitoring. During the 12 days of visitors monitoring, 14 359 visitors passed through the intersection of the main counting station - of which 59% walkers and 41% cyclists, moreover 868 dogs, 388 cars and 456 prams. Total estimated traffic is in the...
