Statistical Model Checking of Approximate Computing Systems
Blažek, Michal ; Sekanina, Lukáš (referee) ; Strnadel, Josef (advisor)
This bachelor's thesis focuses on the simulation of models of approximate multipliers. The main aim of the thesis is comparing selected properties of multipliers in an application-specific scope of input values. The thesis includes the conversion of multiplier models from the EvoApproxLib library into models used in the UPPAAL environment. These models are then simulated while monitoring their selected evaluation metrics such as error probability, mean absolute error, etc. From the obtained results, one can conclude that using a suitable approximate multiplier in a specific context can have a positive effect on the error in calculations. The results could therefore have further applications in the field of approximate computing systems.

Economic and social impacts of cultural tourism in the Czech Republic
Raabová, Tereza ; Indrová, Jarmila (advisor) ; Lehmannová, Zuzana (referee) ; Konečná, Marie (referee) ; Rojíček, Marek (referee)
The work observes the positive relationship between culture and tourism and quantifies the economic and social (or socio-economic) impacts of cultural tourism in the Czech Republic. The first part showcases successful cultural projects in the Czech Republic and abroad, which attract tourists and provide destinations with financial resources and create new jobs. The author characterizes these positive economic and social impacts and benefits on the development of the region and analyzes existing studies of socio-economic impacts, normally processed abroad for cultural organizations and attractions. While in the Czech Republic, these studies are not yet very widespread, they represent a a useful document for the organization itself, but also for providers of grants and financial contributions, or for agencies and authorities designing concepts of culture and tourism. The work presents the basic methodologies used by the economic impact studies and further elaborates the most accurate and also the most demanding method of calculating the impacts, input-output analysis. Using this method, the author proposes a comprehensive model for calculating the economic and socio-economic impacts and benefits. The model uses statistical data of Czech national accounts and is intended for Czech cultural organizations attracting visitors. After using financial data of the surveyed organization and the expenditure of visitors, the model can easily determine the impacts of the organization to increase production, gross value added, employment and income of workers in the Czech Republic. The work builds on a lot of foreign findings, which seeks to apply in domestic conditions while using local data.

Business Valuation of BEZNOSKA, s.r.o. as of 31 December 2009
Straňák, Peter ; Mařík, Miloš (advisor) ; Hájek, Rudolf (referee)
This master's thesis deals with the valuation of BEZNOSKA, s.r.o. Situated in Kladno, the Czech Republic, this company engages in the development and production of instruments and implants for bone surgery. The company was established on the basis of the "surgery" division of then POLDI Kladno at the beginning of the nineties, during the "big privatisation" period. The aim of this thesis is to estimate the market value and investment value of the company as of 31 December 2009 as defined in the International Valuation Standards. The valuation is carried out using two basic methods. The focus of the work is based on the DCF method the result of which is verified by a method based on the market analysis, in particular the similar public company method. The book value method is only complementary. The thesis is divided into six chapters. Sequenced logically, it contains the basic information on the company valued, financial analysis, strategic analysis, analysis and forecast of the value drivers, financial plan and the valuation itself based on the method mentioned above. These topical units are further divided into several subchapters as necessary. Various analyses and statistical methods needed to successfully meet the set objective are applied throughout the text.

The effect of information and communication technology on competitiveness of the Czech economy
Novák, Josef ; Novotný, Ota (advisor) ; Voříšek, Jiří (referee)
The advance of information and communication technology speeds up year by year. At the same time, methodologies for objective measurement of the benefits of ICTs are still lacking behind. This difference then forms a void of unsatisfied information requirements about the state of ICTs from a business as well as national economy's point of view. This thesis summarizes theoretical background about possible ways of viewing and measuring ICT benefits (be that benefits for a person, society as a whole or economy as a whole). The practical part of the thesis analyzes data describing the state of ICT sector in the Czech economy. The first part looks at ways of measuring ICT benefits as they are seen by a number of other authors and described in many studies. This provides a summary of the possibilities to consider when looking at our topic. The second part uses conclusions from previous works on similar topics to set some recommendations for policy improvement as well as social development that will enable maximizing the achieved utility of ICTs. Third part evaluates the position of ICT sector in the Czech Republic by analyzing basic statistical data about the economic and employment impact of all ICT firms as a whole. This is compared to other sectors of the Czech economy. Last part provides a detailed description of the process to calculate output and employment multipliers for all the sectors of Czech economy and then calculates these values according to the process. In the end, there is a summary of the theoretical and practical findings described in all preceding chapters.
