Quality of life of applicants for long-term study visa in the South Bohemia region
HANKOVÁ, Hana
Bachelor thesis deals with "Quality of life of applicants for long-term study visa in the South Bohemia region". The main objective was to identify if the quality of foreign students studying in the Czech Republic changes during the long stay in the Czech Republic and if so, how this is expressed. The thesis is divided into two sections {--} theoretical and practical. The theoretical part consists of three chapters. The first chapter deals with quality of life in general, its history, definitions and possibilities of scoring the quality of life. The second section outlines chances of foreigners at the entry and stay in the Czech Republic. The third summarizes activities of foreigners in our country since the foundation of the Czech Republic until now, their numbers and education. At the beginning of the empirical section the goal is set is hypotheses are stated, followed by the research process description and the means used to confirm or refute hypotheses. The resulting values are clearly explained and presented in the form of graphs and tables. Data obtained from the research are being confronted in subsequent discussion. The goal of the thesis is to determine how the quality of life of foreign students differs from European standards, and whether it gets changed in the course of the long-term residence in the Czech Republic. To meet the goals of this thesis the method of standardized questionnaire SF-36 on health-related quality of life, which measures eight domains of health, was used. The outcomes of the research prove that quality of life of foreign students is different in comparison with the European standard Oxford. It was also shown that the quality of life during the long-term residence in the Czech Republic decreases in the domains of physical functioning, role limitations due to physical problems, role limitations due to emotional problems, social functioning and pain, while an increase occurs in the category of general mental health, vitality and general perception of health.

Is import of goods from european countries to Czech republic more or less influenced by changes in nominal and real exchange rates than in non european countries?
Vereš, Jan ; Stroukal, Dominik (advisor) ; Slaný, Martin (referee)
This bachelor thesis analyses the connection between import of goods from foreign countries to Czech Republic and the exchange rate changes. The initial hypothesis of this paper is to prove that the depreciation of domestic currency has positive influence on balance of trade balance. For this purpose there is eight econometric models which were created by using time series from years 2003 to 2016. These models are divided in pairs among four chosen countries. For each country two models were created that follow the development of trade balance between Czech Republic and one of the countries in two different time frames. All the models always use the real effective exchange rate, growth rate of GDP for Czech Republic and growth rate of GDP for one of the countries as explanatory variable. It is connected with the second task of this thesis, which is the analysis of the differences in the behaviour of the models that belong to the countries which are members of the EU and these that are not. The aim is to find out whether the existence of tariffs on imported goods from countries out of the EU causes visible differences in the behaviour of the variables that were included in the models. Based on the outcomes of all eight models the main hypothesis has been proved right for three out of four countries. In the models for Germany, China and France the relation of real exchange rate and trade balance came out as positive in long term, in short term the outcome was ambiguous. The second question of this thesis has been answered, but its added value is questionable. The final models for each state do show some noticeable differences and they can be used to determine if the influence of the change of exchange rates on trade balance is smaller or bigger in the countries where tariffs are used. On the other hand, from the results we can learn that the sample of only four countries is insufficient for the deduction of any conclusions.

Makroekonomický dopad mateřské (a rodičovské) dovolené ve srovnání České Republiky s Brazílií
Kalkusová, Marie ; De Castro, Tereza (advisor) ; Neumann, Pavel (referee)
This thesis aims to estimate the macroeconomic impact of maternity and parental/paternal leave in the Czech Republic and Brazil. In addition, the thesis stresses out the costs of Czech model application to Brazil and vice-versa. The first chapter brings a theoretical framework. It compares the analyzed policies in both countries and introduces the relevant terms. The second chapter estimates the costs of maternity and parental/paternal leave related to public expenditure and GDP for the years 2005-2014 and brings own simulation model for Czech model application to Brazil and vice-versa. The third chapter analyses the inefficiencies and suggest possible mitigation. The results show the costs of 0.71% of GDP and 1.66% of public expenditure in the Czech Republic and 0.50% GDP and 2.27% of public expenditure in Brazil in 2014. The Czech model applied in Brazil would be very costly and the opposite scenario would lead to the decrease of macroeconomic burden in the Czech Republic. The thesis also analyzes the influence of maternal and parental leave in other areas, such as labor market, where the current structure may penalize Czech women in long term. By this analysis, the thesis contributes to the current debate about the impact, the length and costs of maternity and parental leave.

Processing Differencies in Matters of Juvenile Perpetrators
KALIVODOVÁ, Martina
My bachelor thesis will concern criminal procedural law of juvenile offenders, focusing on the specifics of proceedings with juvenile offenders, which I shall compare to proceedings with adult offenders. In the introduction I will mention the history of criminal law with juvenile offenders, which has undergone significant changes. At first criminal law was only regulated by the penal code and by the criminal procedure, which only included provisions concerning juvenile offenders. This regulation was insufficient as it did not allow to reflect juvenile criminality. There were tries to enforce a new code of law, which would contain only juvenile justice. Quite recently, in the year 2004, because of growing juvenile criminality and the need to solve juvenile criminal cases differently, a new independent law n. 218/2003 Sb. on juvenile justice was created, with the full name of law n. 218/2003 on the liability of youth for unlawful acts and on juvenile justice and on change of some laws. This law brought many changes and represents a positive contribution in juvenile justice. In my work I will introduce the juvenile justice law and I will point out the facts resulting from it. At the beginning of my thesis I will shortly define the basic concepts dealing with substantive criminal law of juvenile offenders, which are distinct from the criminal law of adults, and the knowledge of which I consider necessary for full understanding of my work. The aim of my work is to highlight the differences in procedural criminal law, in criminal proceedings with juveniles. I will compare criminal proceedings with juveniles to those with adults, which differ in significant terms. I will focus on certain specifics, which I will describe, compare to general regulations and evaluate. To conclude, I will evaluate the current state of juvenile justice and provide my own opinion on this topic. I will describe certain drawbacks in the law and suggest their change. I will describe my own ideas about juvenile law.

By means of the discourse and content analysis of chancellor's speeches it has been possible to identify foreign policy preferences of the chancellor which can be associated with her personal life experience.

Differences between men and women in the Czech labour market
Stroukal, Dominik ; Kadeřábková, Božena (advisor) ; Pavelka, Tomáš (referee) ; Němec, Otakar (referee)
This thesis consists of five articles that apply current world research on labor economics at the Czech Republic and confirms the significant differences between men and women in this market. It shows that gender has a significant influence on the preference on the labor market and, consequently, on employment and health. First, the thesis shows that preferences are relevant determinant of career and then we study the difference in preference of salary for men and women. Subsequently it shows that gender plays a significant role in explaining the relationship between homeownership, and unemployment, as well as unemployment and health. The first chapter was able to demonstrate that the preference for a career has a positive influence on the choice of career. The influence of higher education on prioritizing career proved to be positive and significant. Probability of a career choice is reduced by the presence of children, however, is not dependent on their number, which is contrary to the theory of preferences. The second chapter shows that Czech women prefer more non-monetary rewards than men. It has also been shown that people with university education are same in the preferences of non-monetary rewards regardless of the gender of the respondents, however, compared to the world's research, the Czech higher education increases this preference. It turned out that women prefer risk less than men. The third chapter demonstrates that although the housing market undermines labor mobility and employment in the Czech Republic at the regional level, therefore, that in regions with a higher rate of home ownership is higher unemployment, at the individual level, the owners of housing are unemployed are less likely. The estimates are significantly different for men and women. Men living in owner-occupied housing have a higher likelihood of employment than women. At regional level, however, this thesis shows that the high rate of home ownership increases unemployment for both men and women, in the long run only to women. The fourth chapter showed that men transition to homeownership reduces the likelihood of unemployment next year. For women, this relationship has proved to be insignificant. In addition, as insignificant showed the opposite relationship, the transition from unemployment to the newly acquired home ownership. The last chapter shows that the change in the working status to unemployment will increase in the future probability of worse health. Influence in less than two years, however, proved to be significant. An important conclusion is that men have a significantly stronger relationship between health and unemployment than women.

Multidisciplinary care in hemodialysis centers.
VYHLIDALOVÁ, Mária
It is inconceivable for only one person to take care of ill people in a health care. To achieve the aim which is in particular maintenance of the highest life quality of specimens in health or in disease, is important mutual cooperation of professionals in the branch, where every single ensure care for a patient on the basis of his own knowledge and skills. It is about team co-operation, where every single member of the team has his own obligations, but also rights and authority. The term multisiciplinary care means co-operation of more scientific branches. Hemodialysis patients'nursing care is about team of professionals, who are fully involved in satisfying patients' needs. This co-operation enables primarily the unitary communication, reduction of patient's issue analysis, unified and consecutive nursing care, complete documentation and quality evaluation of provided nursing care of these patients. The aim of the dissertation was to chart multidicsiplinary care's issues at hemodialysis, on the basis of available literature. The dissertation is based on theoretically processed topic by the method of documents' content analysis and method of review and synthesis. Information is obtained from domestic but also foreign science books, scientific magazines, and internet sources. Findings from the 42nd international conference EDTNA/ERCA, which topic was Innovation of renal care through multi-professional leadership, which took place in Malmö, Sweden, from 31st of August to 3rd of September 2013, also contributed. The dissertation is divided into three basic chapters. The first part is focused on team characteristic. There are definitions, types, features, building, composition, roles, conflicts within a team and elemental description of multidisciplinary co-operation. The second chapter deals with a history and hemodialysis as a medical extracorporal method. The third, and the broadest section, is focused on multidisciplinary co-operation at the centre of hemodialysis. It is divided into several sub-chapters. In each of them the information descend from general field to concrete needs of hemodialysed patient and continue to the description of each member of a multidisciplinary team. The result is comprehensive view on provision of multidisciplinary care in the centres of hemodialysis. The output of the dissertation is a draft of the nursing care algorithm within the purview of multidisciplinary care at the centres of hemodialysis. Multidisciplinary care is necessary requirement for assumption of effective, high quality and continuous medical and nursing care at all the centres.

Key sequence in the films of directors who work with long sequence shots and with stylization
Ruzyak, Pavel ; BERNARD, Jan (advisor) ; KLEPIKOV, Milan (referee)
This thesis wants to explore long shots alongside with stylization in cinema. Through three directors are explored possibility and problematic of cinematographic expression through long shots and stylization. Stylisation is connected mainly with mis-en-scène and particular aspects of it – acting, film decoration/props, film space, film sound,... The terms stylisation and long shot (plan-séquence) are analysed and explored on its own and in the films of the chosen directors. The main analysed directors are Andrei Tarkovsky, Carl Th. Dreyer and Béla Tarr and their three films (in the same order) - Sacrifice, Gertrud and Satantango. The chosen directors are from my point of view the best example of the use of stylisation and long shots due to their artistic clarity and coherence. I try to base this work mostly on my own analysis and thoughts about long shots and stylisation based on the literature, films and my own film works, although I also use quotations from directors/authors and quotations from theoretical works. The thesis in its form is closest to the analytic and essay study.

San Minn (or) An Artist who prefer creating and paintings than his life
Zeya, Pyin Nyar ; JANEČEK, Vít (advisor) ; VOJTĚCHOVSKÝ, Miloš (referee)
No one can control a painter artist’s freely thoughts and ideas and although his paintings were under the high pressure and banned by force, the artistic value of his materials never go down. So that I am writing this paper. He, San Minn has broken out the mainstream of Burmese painting field, he never made business paintings as well. He keeps his belief on the art of paints and he is always finding for the new way to make his paintings. His materials are very different from other Burmese painter artists’ materials. His style is unique in Burmese paintings. So I can get a chance to study of his style, ideas, ways of thinking and his determination on the art works. My paper can show a painter artist’s life who grew up under the military rule for 50 years and the situation and history of Burmese painting field. Then not only people who are studying the painting subject, but also other people can know about the subject of Burmese painting and field of artists. I dare say that my paper must be colorful and fruitful. As a painter artist, it seems that he wants his audience to feel his materials but he rare to show his real life behind the pictures. For me, I can get a chance to know about his real life for my thesis paper. xxxxxxxxxx Thesis Statement My thesis can be useful for everybody who is interested in Burmese contemporary art field. This is the biggest chance to read about one of the most famous, important and significant artists and art movements of Burma. His paintings are reflecting his journey through over 40 years of censorship, but he was not afraid to tackle political and social issues. Many of San Minn's art works are based on autobiographical, making sharp social commentary on the popular culture, social values and scenario circumstances where he has lived in. xxxxxxxxxx

Schwarz, Jaroslav ; Cusack, Michael ; Karban, Jindřich ; Chalupníčková, E. ; Havránek, Vladimír ; Smolík, Jiří ; Ždímal, Vladimír
Measurements of atmospheric aerosols at rural background areas are important because they are not influenced by the urban emissions, and are therefore better suited to investigate the influence of long-range transport and trends in concentrations of individual pollutants. Summary of the measurements of total concentration and the concentration of PM10 and PM2.5 components was carried out in the works Putaud et al. (2004, 2010). Although the later work included the measurement of more than 60 stations across Europe, the post-communist countries contained data on PM2.5 from only four locations (Prague, Debrecen, Hungary, and two rural locations). Although Košetice place where this study was made, is also discussed there, it was for only PM10 and total carbon (TC). Therefore, the aim of this study is to fill this information gap, and provide additional information regarding the PM2.5 fraction and composition at the Central European background station Košetice.
