Analysis on Market for Remittances in the Czech Republic
Dorj, Tuvshinbat ; Cahlík, Tomáš (advisor) ; Avdulaj, Krenar (referee)
The thesis attempts to shed a light on a remittance corridor between Czech Republic and Mongolia, as to the author's knowledge there has been no studies looking to the very area. The thesis not only investigates the conditions of the market for remittances in the CR as a whole but also tries to capture the key determination of remittances and specific remitting behavior of the migrants, i.e., Mongolian migrants. Empirical study with both qualitative and quantitative research methods is carried based on the data collected by author himself while participating as an interviewer in a survey on market for remittances in the CR. The study reveals that although the market transparency and infrastructure is satisfactory, the level of competition is relatively low. As such, the main players on the market do not haste to attract their customers and research other service possibilities. But certain money transfer operators (MTO) for example "Chequepoint" a.s employs active marketing strategy and it already realized most favorable MTO among Mongolian migrants. Also the study highlights that the policies related to customer protection issues should consider on the financial literacy and language barrier of the migrants as well. Otherwise it is not possible to implement policies on customer protection issues....

The role of NG2 glycoprotein in regulation of Rho/ROCK signaling
Kratochvílová, Magdalena ; Rösel, Daniel (advisor) ; Kuželová, Kateřina (referee)
NG2 is a transmembrane glycoprotein, which takes part in cellular processes such as adhesion, migration or invasivity, i.e., in processes important in tissue development but also in tumor and metastasis formation. Among other things, NG2 leads to an inhibition of neurite growth, and probably plays an important role in amoeboid type of cell invasion. These processes are in many respects similar. Both in inhibition of neurite growth and in mesenchymal-amoeboid transition occur morphological changes which lead to a loss of cell protrusions and a transition to a rounded shape. In both of these processes Rho/ROCK signaling also plays a crucial role. Connection between NG2 and the Rho/ROCK signaling pathway has been indicated in the process of inhibition of neurite growth. The mechanism of Rho/ROCK signaling regulation by NG2 glycoprotein is, however, still unknown. In this thesis is proposed a molecular mechanism of Rho/ROCK pathway activation by glycoprotein NG2 which relies on the NG2/MUPP1/Syx signaling complex where the scaffold protein MUPP1, bound to activated NG2, enables binding and activation of the Syx protein. Syx then as RhoGEF activates Rho/ROCK signaling, and the activated Rho/ROCK pathway leads to inhibition of neurite growth, increased cell contractility and traction forces. These processes are...

Multiculturalism in Netherlands and Canada
Červeňová, Barbora ; Šánová, Lucie (advisor) ; Říchová, Blanka (referee)
Diploma thesis focuses on integration policies in the Netherlands and Canada since 1970' s till nowadays. Both countries are well known for implementing multiculturalism. Canada has become the only country that through Multiculturalism Act claimed official support for multiculturalism policy and is still doing so even recently when this model is being refused by most of the other countries. Such a situation developed in the Netherlands which became an example of a failure of multiculturalism. However multiculturalism was of a different kind in each of those countries and so was the final form of integration policies. The aim of this diploma thesis is to analyse similarities and differences in both integration policies and to find relevant factors that impacted their failure in the Netherlands and their success in Canada. Diploma thesis describes the basic milestones in the development of integration policies and changes in the respective time period. It also points out the main differences in the concept of multiculturalism in the Netherlands and Canada and tries to explain it on the historical, state building, national identity and multiculture background.

Czech labour market for foreigners and the situation of Vietnamese employees
Nguyen, Anh Dung ; Potůček, Martin (advisor) ; Kuchař, Pavel (referee)
Most of the European countries are now facing the common challenge from aging population. This affects the labour market and consecutively the economic engine. As a matter of course the Czech Republic has to welcome workers from outside sources to supplement its labour shortage. I've found that the majority of the migrant workers going to the Czech Republic are low skill ones and they concentrate in the lower tier of the labour market. The efforts of the Government to attract high skill workers have not been much successful in bringing more qualified foreigners to the country. The Vietnamese is the third largest migrant community in the Czech Republic with 60.301 registered people. For those who came here in the 70s and 80s, they have been legally and pretty successfully residing in the society. But for the new workers who were sent to work in Czech factories since 2006, the global crisis turned their lives into hardship. They lost jobs but they couldn't or didn't want to go home. They must hold on in this land with a hope to change their lives.

Illegal foreigners' employment in the Czech Republic
Trousilová, Jana ; Geissler, Hana (advisor) ; Jelínková, Marie (referee)
The thesis deals with the illegal employment of the third countries' foreigners in the Czech Republic. Since foreign labor migration is a subject set by the legislation, the thesis introduces the development of labor migration in the setting of policy and foreign employment in terms of institutional and legal framework. Another part is based on interviews I conducted with employers, strangers, staff offices and experts. Due to the persistent illegal labor supply and demand, I focused on the motives that lead employers and foreigners to apply that kind of illegal employment. Themes, however, cause a number of consequences, so I focused on the consequences that affect not only migrants themselves but also the state.The next part of my thesis deals with the individual groups of respondents. I focused on setting the current employment system and on the labor market conditions from the sight of addressed respondents. In conclusion, I point out the possible solutions to the mentioned problems in order to reduce the illegal employment of foreigners.

Evaluation of providing information to third-countries foreigners by public sector in the labor market in the Czech Republic
Valášková, Michaela ; Dobiášová, Karolína (advisor) ; Jelínková, Marie (referee)
The thesis "Evaluation of providing information to third-countries foreigners by public sector in the labor market in the Czech Republic" is primarily engaged in finding the level of information provided to third-countries foreigners in the Czech labor market, their content, distribution, institutional framework, availability, etc.. Despite the fact that the dynamics of inflow of foreign labor is greatly reduced, this process has still many problems and issues, especially in their conditions of employment. For foreigners who came to our area to find a job, they could be legitimately employed to meet the many obligations of the law. Do they receive information about these rules and responsibilities? This paper seeks to answer, which took aim is to determine what information to foreigners from third countries, the Czech labor market in the context of migration and integration policies, propose possible solutions in this area and analyze current state of economic activities of foreigners from third countries in the labor market in the CR (in the plane legislative, institutional). Furthermore, to determine the status and level of awareness and availability of information to third-country nationals in the labor market in a position to insure foreigners from third countries on the issue of awareness and...

Comparation of models of migration: Mexico and Czech Republic
Zrůstová, Lucie ; Křížová, Markéta (advisor) ; Opatrný, Josef (referee)
This work aims to compare two models of migration, on the one hand, Czech migration to the capital city of Mexico on the other hand, Mexican migration to the capital city of Czech Republic. This text looks at migration as a cultural-social act, with its main protagonists, individual migrants. Therefore this work is not demographic, but anthropological based on qualitative research. With the background of basic sources it offers the monitoring of behavior of two groups of migrants, especially in their adaptation process. The basic research question then is: What is the process of cultural adaptation of the Czechs in Mexico, DF and Mexicans in Prague? To what extent are these models similar or different? Finding answers to this question necessarily leads to other topics, reply to completion, which are: How strong are the tendencies of development of ethnic communities? How respondents experienced the process of adaptation and changes of their identity? What strategies of living in the destination country they occupied? To what extent they communicate with compatriots and embassies? This paper provides both theoretical basis, which defines the terms of migration, cultural adaptation and identity, and practical sections, which through examples of qualitative research describe the process of cultural adaptation...
