A Time Series Analysis of Prague Stock Exchange Indices
Zvoníček, Martin ; Dostál, Petr (referee) ; Novotná, Veronika (advisor)
This bachelor's thesis deals with analyzing the development of stock indices of the Prague Stock Exchange by using statistical implements, time series and regression analysis. It specifies the consequences of changes to the index in time, compares the analyzed data then draws conclusions and gains prognosis focused on the future development of those indices out of historical data.

Use of technical analysis in the financial market
SOUKUP, Josef
The objective of this bachelor thesis is the application of the principles and procedures of technical analysis and the creation of own business strategy in a selected financial market. It explains the selection of a suitable platform for performing the analysis. It shows individual basic as well as advanced tools for a technical analysis. It introduces the specifications of individual selected tools and shows the principles on which they work. This thesis is mainly focused on the building of a business strategy based on a technical analysis of the selected financial market.The developed strategy involves the use of the mathematical tool Fibonacci retracement for the analysis of price levels. Other indicators are used together with this tool - exponential and simple moving averages and Parabolic SAR. Trading rules are established that include money and risk and reward management. The technical analysis is performed on the DAX and S&P500 stock market indices. Daily, four-hour and hourly timeframes are examined for individual indices. The results of the technical analysis are compared with market performance, which means the market earnings for the entire analyzed period.

Functional traits and functional diversity in lichens
Kolenská, Lucie ; Malíček, Jiří (advisor) ; Vondrák, Jan (referee)
Functional traits are a discussed topic across disciplines and articles with lichens are published as well. Traits are the attributes that define the organism from morphological features through anatomy to the physiology of the individual, including interaction in environmental and environmental influences. The most frequently studied functional trait of lichens is the type of thallus. Another commonly studied trait is the type of photobiont, where the presence of algae Trentepohlia is negatively affected by frost and because of this its number decreases with increasing altitude. Another functional trait of lichens which is studied is reproduction, and also secondary metabolites, which protect lichens, for example, against UV light or herbivores. Functional traits together form functional diversity, which is another way how to measure diversity on a planet where the most diverse ecosystem is not always the one with the highest number of species. Functional diversity indices then can reveal unique communities that should be protected. However, neither the definitions nor the calculation of functional diversity are exatly specified, we use different indices. The Rao index of quadratic entropy is most often used for lichens. Keywords indices, lichenized fungi, mycobiont, photobiont, thallus

Measuring corruption in developed countries
Bajzíková, Anna ; Baxa, Jaromír (advisor) ; Janda, Karel (referee)
The complex issue of corruption has attracted much attention over the last 20 years. The problem was analyzed mostly in the context of developing and transition countries, though not only the recent financial crisis showed the severity of corruption also in the world's most developed countries. This thesis analyzes twelve currently available corruption assessments for a cross section of 39 developed countries in the period 2007-2010. The thesis categorizes these assessments into three basic generations and characterizes the weaknesses and limitations of particular methods. The analysis is based on determination of relationship between individual corruption measures and recognizes specific aspects of corruption actually measured by particular indices. With the exception of strictly opinion poll-based corruption indices, the first and the second generation of corruption indices correlate well for a set of developed countries. This indicates that the sector specific indices, e.g. expenditure corruption assessment, are in analyzed countries closely related to the overall political corruption levels. An applied hierarchical cluster analysis gives better picture of otherwise inconsistent developed countries corruption rankings and divides countries into ten homogeneous groups. However, the analysis...

Floristicko-ekologický průzkum rozsivek Úslavy
HRUBÝ, František
This bachelor thesis deals with the issue of diatom based indices. The thesis describes the principles of 25 indices using diatoms to assess water quality. Seventeen of these indices were used to evaluate my own data originating from ten sampling points in the lower stream of the river Úslava. Periphyton communities of diatoms were collected in the autumn of 2015 and in the spring and summer of 2016. The diatom samples were used to create permanent slides, in which 400 valves were determined and counted. Using the Omnidia program, the indices were calculated for each sample. According to my results and information from literature appropriate and inappropriate indices for future use were chosen.

Palaeoecological reconstruction of Komořany Lake in Late Glacial based on diatom analysis
Poštulková, Anna ; Nedbalová, Linda (advisor) ; Tátosová, Jolana (referee)
Diatom analysis of basal part of profile PK-1-L contributes to multi-proxy research of former Lake Komořany. At this part of profile radiocarbon dating (dates sediments into Late Glacial and Early Holocene) and LOI (loss on ignition) had been conducted before, of which results have been utilized to more accurate interpretation of diatom analysis conclusions. Apart from diatom valves, presence of stomatocysts of Chrysophyceae has been observed. Having separated diatom valves from 32 sediment samples in intervals 0,4-0,6 cm, permanent preparates have been created. Concentration of valves in a gramme of dry sediment and relative abundance of diatom taxons in each sample have been investigated using light microscopy. In a half of samples subdominants and rare taxons have been observed separately to eliminate the interference from dominant taxons. Cluster analysis based on relative abundances of diatom taxons have been calculated and on its results have been subsequently determined three diatom accumulation zones (DAZ). Moreover trophic and saprobic indices have been calculated and levels of pH, conductivity and concentration of total phosphorus (TP) have been estimated by transfer functions. Even before beginning of Holocene the major shift in composition of diatom communities have happened, to the...
