Transfer of Technologies at Faculty of Science, Charles University in Prague
Kadlec, Vojtěch ; Blažek, Jiří (advisor) ; Žížalová, Pavla (referee)
This master thesis is focused on issues of technology transfer and cooperation between universities and application area. The aim is to disclose the barriers and factors that affect technology transfer and to identify the spatial pattern of cooperation. Theory of regional systems, concepts of triple helix, differentiated knowledge bases and models of learning are verified by a case study of Faculty of Science, Charles University in Prague. For the verification were used guided interviews with selected leaders of research teams at Faculty of Science. This thesis points out that the local specifics shape the character of cooperation. On the other hand comparison with research institutions in South Moravia shows that barriers affecting technology transfer are national. The comparison also shows that the existence of supporting institutions can positively affect the transfer of knowledge between academic and industry sphere. Key words: technology transfer, cooperation, personal contacts

Provision of alternative off-grid solar solution for non-electrified area in Ghana
Halaška, Vojtěch
This diploma thesis analyses issues related to current energy crisis and electrification process in Ghana, in connection with socio-economic impacts on society, and simultaneously presents opportunities of applying alternative off-grid solar technologies as potential solution. The main aim of the thesis is to develop comprehensive project targeted at solution for the lack of light and providing ability for charging small electronic devices, resulting to improving living conditions for inhabitants in non-electrified areas. Solution mentioned in the thesis, was developed on the basis of particular conditions considering the highest efficiency, reliability and simultaneously the lowest initial costs. Significant attention was paid to technological transfer challenge; ensuring long-term sustainability. Valuable information and experience were gained through experimental installation in the village of Akukusu, during Scholarly Internship in Ghana, leading to modification and further technology development. Particular examples of possible applications in cooperation with local subjects, which were achieved within semester study at the University of Ghana, are mentioned in closing part. These examples prove feasibility and simple modification for particular conditions. Subsequent possibilities of extension and further development are mentioned as well.

Nosek, Martin ; Mandel, Martin (advisor) ; Brůna, Karel (referee)
This thesis is focused on the impact of FDI on the host economy and balance of payments of the Czech Republic. First, there are defined the different definitions and forms of FDI, followed by the theoretical foundations of FDI. The analytical part deals with impact on the economy receiving direct investment, technology transfer and the impact on the labor market. The next part analyzes the impact on balance of payments of the Czech Republic, on the current account deficit, which is part of the currency crisis indicator, and the income balance. In the statistical program is tested the dependence of the income balance on stock of FDI in the Czech economy.
