Electoral Authoritarianism in Comparative Perspective of Southeast Asia
Mička, František ; Mlejnek, Josef (advisor) ; Romancov, Michael (referee)
In the thesis "Electoral Authoritarianism in Comparative Perspective of Southeast Asia", while analyzing for cases of regime survival and fall, author develops the argument that certain subtypes of authoritarian regimes are better build to cope with change than others. Since the four cases are under new institutionalism generally classified as electoral authoritarianism, the text depicts some of the methodological problems related to this particular research perspective. Building on the systems approach and new institutionalism, the thesis analyzes the relation between institutional character of regime elite and its ability to cope with changes in the environment, i.e. adaptability. Author shows that at the time of crisis, personalistic regimes tend to react almost solely with repression a restrictions, whereas regimes with ruling parties exhibit a substantial degree of personal and policy flexibility, which positively informs their chances for survival. The conclusion also demonstrates the methodological weaknesses of regime typology based on the quality of electoral process. It diverts the attention from other features of regimes which significantly inform logic and inner dynamics of authoritarianism. As a result, under the banner of electoral authoritarianism, there are regimes which differ from each...

Application of local approximators for control of real mechatronic system
Palaj, Lukas ; Vejlupek, Josef (referee) ; Grepl, Robert (advisor)
Cieľom práce je aplikácia lokálnych aproximátorov pre riadenie reálnych mechatronických sústav pomocou metódy dopredného riadenia predstavujúcej zaujímavú alternatívu k metódam využívajúcim globálne aproximátory. Po ukážkových príkladoch funkcie lokálnych aproximátorov bol navrhnutý algoritmus implementovaný pre riadenie dvoch sústav, elektronickej škrtiacej klapky a výukového modelu magnetickej levitácie, predstavujúcich vysoko nelineárne a nestabilné sústavy. Skúmali sme, či riadiaci algoritmus bude mať pozitívny vplyv na presnosť regulácie, ďalej bola skúmaná jeho schopnosť prispôsobiť sa zmene parametrov sústavy a tiež prípadná možnosť jeho implementácie pre mikrokontrolér znížením vzorkovacej frekvencie. Výsledky ukázali, že riadenie založené na lokálnych modeloch zlepšilo riadenie v porovnaní s jednoduchým PID regulátorom a že má schopnosť adaptability. Veľmi výhodné sa zdá byť jeho použitie pre zariadenia umožnujúce vzorkovaciu frekvenciu do 1 kHz.

Psychosocial aspect of pediatric onkology. Child and Family.
LEMERMANOVÁ, Stanislava
The work, which is focused on learning about families living with a school-age child suffering from a cancer disease, has brought a number of findings and experience. Its goal was to map general climate of a family living with a child suffering from cancer and an effort to record some of its typical or specific differences. Interviews of ill children, their siblings and parents brought the most important finding regarding functioning these families. Interviews of children imply that they have enough information about treatment and examinations, however, not enough information about the disease. Communication of parents and children about the diseases turned out to be problematic. Some children want to know more about the disease but their parents are unable to meet their needs. Interruption of school attendance, and thus, interruption of the contact with schoolmates is the most depressive change for children. In the interviews parents say that the worst period was the one when it was already obvious that the disease was serious but the diagnosis had not been set. Child{\crq}s disease entirely changed everyday life of the families; everything was governed by the fact whether the child is in hospital and how he or she feels. One of parents had to stay with the child and thus the family split. Healthy siblings found themselves in the shade of the ill child, the older ones tried to understand the situation and help their brother/sister and the parents as much as possible. Deepening of the relationship between the parents, psychic maturing of the ill child and his/her older siblings, and change in the value attitudes of parents may be ranked among the positive changes. The situation brought a clear and factual result that all family members are extraordinary close to each other and the families are adaptable. Serious disease of the child results in a fact that the families function in a stress situation and more intensive solidarity and adaptability are a necessity for them. On the basis of the research we may say in the conclusion that relevant attention and care should be paid not only to ill children and their parents but also to their healthy siblings. Tumour disease and risk to the child{\crq}s life represent an extreme stress for a family. The structure of the family changes and its everyday life turns upside down completely. The families I met during the research were managing the situation well. Even though the situation was exhausting for them and some faced communication problems, they could all function and take care of their ill child.

Breedintg biology of great crested grebes (Podiceps cristatus) in different habitats in the Třeboň basin
HÝLOVÁ, Alena
The aim of this study is to determine some breeding and ethology aspects of Great Crested grebes (Podiceps cristatus) in two different habitats in the Třeboň basin. The first locality is Nadějská rybniční soustava (NRS). It means 14 high eutrophic fish ponds near Třeboň. The second locality is in Hálámky and it is the gravel pits area. There are 4 ponds with low eutrophic water. This locality is similar to lakes - the origin biotope of Great Crested grebes (Podiceps cristatus). There are still active outputs of gravel in some of Halámky ponds. This study is based on breeding aspects, such as bird quantity, observing and measuring. Observations were carried out in 2004 - 2006. Whole day ethology monitoring was made in 2006. The data in Nadějská rybniční soustava are collected every 14 days from March to November. The data in Halámky are collected on the month base. The parameters of nests were measured during the breeding season. It was draught of nests, height above water level, height of water column, diameter of nests, ``kotlinka{\crqq} - a place for eggs in nest, ``korona{\crqq} - a special part of the nest. We focused on the parameters of eggs such as width, length and number of eggs in the nest as well.

Unemployment rate of older person in the labour market in the Czech Republic
Vaňatková, Hana ; Kapinusová, Jana (advisor) ; Stočková, Olga (referee)
Work presents the unemployment of persons in pre-retired age (50-60 years) on the Czech labour market. The main objective was to confirm or disprove the hypothesis that older people are worse employable because they do not have such mobility in the labour market as young people and are less adaptable. This hypothesis is confirmed also by questionnaire investigation which was carried out among employers and which has the greatest contribution to this work. The chapters in theoretical part of the work are devoted to labour market, unemployment, discrimination and employment policy in Czech Republic. Next sections examine unemployment rates since 90's till present both generally in whole state and in group of pre-retired aged people. Work also deals with the effects influencing the unemployment rate of this group of people, namely education, health and regional differences. It describes factors that affect employees' decisions, whether to stay in the labour market or leave. The conclusion describes possible solutions to the unemployment.
