Bursová, Veronika ; Jakubec, Ivan (advisor) ; Bareš, Jiří (referee)
A B S T R A C T This thesis analyzes the impact of the economic crisis in 1929-1934 on the Jablonec glass making with main attention to the district Železný Brod. One of the main causes of decline of the Czechoslovak glass industry in the first half of the 30s of 20th century was formed by pro-export focus. The region of Železný Brod and Jablonec nad Nisou had represented sites with major export, production and refining of glass that were for this reason by the economic crisis strongly affected. Deteriorating economic conditions at the beginning of 30s have resulted in intensified state intervention in industry, including the glass manufacturing as one of the most affected industrial areas. Because mostly cartels had regulatory function in the industry, a number of agreements among the glass producers in Jablonec nad Nisou and Železný Brod area were concluded. This thesis considers with different types of production and refining of the glass in order to offer the complete overview over the glass production in districts Jalonec nad Nisou and Železný Brod. The second part puts also emphasis on the social status of domestic craftsmen considering their relations with employers, which determined in times of economic crisis the legislation enacted after establishment of the Czechoslovak Republic, in the 20s and...

The health risks in working area of glass producing
VIKTOROVÁ, Jaroslava
The subject of the thesis is a company Stölzle Union Ltd., which is engaged in production of brown glass packaging for the pharmaceutical and food industry. The company was reconstructed and modernized after burning down in 2009. There are many risk factors in the industry, specifically thermal load, load noise, chemicals, dust and other. The risk factors of work environment can have a negative impact on health. For that reason, an employer has an obligation to respect law regulation and measures to protect health, resulting from generally applicable law. The theoretical part is focused on clarifying issues from health risk assessment, work categorization, preventive measures and risk factors to occupational diseases. The aim of the thesis was a determination and comparison of work environment factors before and after glassworks reconstruction, including assessment of proposals for measures to protect the workers' health in the glassworks work environment. To achieve the objectives of this work, I used these research questions: Which factors are present in the work environment in a glass production?, Are factors correctly classified?, Have there been changes in a risk assessment before and after the glassworks reconstruction?, What are the measures to protect the workers' health and are they currently being implemented?, I answered these questions in the end. The work environment factors were evaluated qualitatively. Secondary data analysis was used to achieve the objectives of the thesis, which draws from the study protocols from measurements of risk factors, study of literature, internal company documents, laws and decrees. The aim has been achieved. The factors before and after reconstruction of workplaces are summarized and compared in the practical part in clear tables. The measures to protect the workers' health are also included in the practical part, including proposals for improvement. It was found that factors occurring in the glassworks before and after burning down are typical for the glass industry. There have not been any significant changes in the incidence and risk assessment in the workplace after the glassworks reconstruction. Extensive modernization of the glassworks after burning down meant to expand production, but it was not found that risk factors of the work environment have been increased.

Analysis of the Czech Trade acitivities on important export markets
Janecký, Vlastimil ; Plchová, Božena (advisor) ; Nigrinová, Lenka (referee)
This thesis deals with the role of the Czech Trade Agency in the Czech export policy. I am analyzing its support of the Czech companies on the basis of its offer of services, which the agency provides the Czech exporters both directly on the inland market and through the net of its foreign offices in the world. I am demonstrating particularly the activities of the foreign Czech Trade offices on the USA and United Arab Emirates markets. Except the general characteristics, I am giving evidence of the export importance of these markets for the Czech Republic on the example of the glass production that belongs to the traditional sectors of the Czech export. At the end of my thesis, I am also presenting two concrete examples of companies from the glass industry, which cooperated with the Czech Trade on entering mentioned markets in the past.
