The theory of redistribution and its application
Mihalčinová, Hana ; Dlouhý, Martin (advisor) ; Valenčík, Radim (referee) ; Peško, Štefan (referee)
The theory of redistribution systems is a practical extension of a game theory, which deals with a redistribution within a social system of more than two players with di?erent performances and ability to create coalitions. This thesis is divided into three chapters. The ?rst chapter describes the known knowledge of a game theory. The second chapter deals with the theory of redistribution systems. Using an elementary redistribution system and its generalization group behaviour when dividing a payment, achieved by a collective performance, is described. This part introduces the extension of the redistribution system to a compound redistribution system with a fractal structure. Furthermore the theory of discriminatory equilibrium and the theory of commonly acceptable equilibrium are veri?ed using the elementary redistribution system and utility theory. The third chapter deals with an application to the allocation of funds among faculty departments. A game theory approach was used to reduce the game to a non-cooperative game of two players by using the forming of coalitions. Also the theory of redistribution systems was applied when a reduction was used to create a non-cooperative two-player game. This reduced non-cooperative game between two players was converted to a cooperative play of more than two players by changing the rules of the game and allowing a formation of coalitions. In the practical part both of these approaches are compared with real data and a current state.

Labour Immigration of Turks to Germany and the Developement of German Immigration and Integration Policy
Dumont, Anna ; Kučera, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Filipová, Lucie (referee)
My Bachelor's thesis, "Labour Immigration of Turks to Germany and the Development of German Immigration and Integration Policy" deals with Turkish guest workers' arrival and subsequent settlement in Germany and the conditions they have been living in. The first part of my thesis is devoted to the evolution of Turkish labour immigration and a discussion of its influence on and co-evolution with German immigration and integration policy. The second part is addressed to the acceptance shown by the majority of Germany society of contemporary Turkish immigrants' integration and uses as examples the development of two important public or human rights. The first of these rights is freedom of religion, which contains both freedom of religion at school, and the right to build mosques in German cities. The second is the right to political participation for Turkish residents who are either German citizens or who have permanent residency, but not citizenship. The thesis tries to answer the questions of how successful integration has been and whether or not Germany has found the right balance between democratic values and the cultural diversity brought by having a large Muslim minority. The thesis as well touches on the biggest problems of the second and third generations of Turkish immigrants which are a lack of...

Nové postupy biomonitoringu cizorodých látek ve vodním prostředí
ČERVENÝ, Daniel
Within the presented work, several approaches of biomonitoring were studied. A well-established method for human health risk assessment was applied to evaluate the quality of fish from open waters in the Czech Republic. As this work is targeted on sport fishermen, who frequently consume their own catches, besides the publication in scientific journal, a brochure with results of this study was distributed via the Czech Fishing Union. Health risks for consumers related to the consumption of wild fish were found strongly species and locality dependent. As there is no risks related with the consumption of carp (Cyprinus carpio) at all investigated sites, frequent consumption of predatory fish should be avoided at some fishing grounds. The use of passive samplers has become more and more attractive in the last two decades. As these devices are able to mimic the biological uptake of chemicals, their potential for replacing fish as bioindicators in routine biomonitoring programmes is evident. In our study, the comparison between analysis of fish tissues and POCIS extracts from selected sampling sites confirms this idea about interchangeability of these indicators in the case of PFASs as target pollutants. Moreover, no metabolic transformation of contaminants present in water take place in passive samplers contrary to living organisms, thus these reflect the actual contamination at the locality more precisely. The use of passive samplers completely fulfils the internationally accepted principles of Replacement, Reduction, Refinement (the three R´s). Another promising approach using YOY fish as bioindicators was evaluated within the present study. Multispecies samples of YOY fish homogenate was found as a better indicator for wide range of pollutants than muscle tissue of adult fish within one species from the same locality. As all inner organs and tissues are presented in analysed samples, more target pollutants in higher concentrations are detected compared to the muscle of adults. Besides the higher sensitivity in pollutants detection and quantification, practical and economic benefits are of concern in the case of the YOY fish approach. The YOY fish approach also particularly fulfil the three R´s strategy, as sampling of this age group of fish has a smaller impact on the environment than the sampling of adults. In case of mercury, that was found as a limiting contaminant for the consumption of fish from open waters in the Czech Republic, a nonlethal method of finclips sampling can be used for the monitoring of this compound in aquatic environments. Besides the monitoring, our optimised method for the estimation of muscle tissue concentrations could be used for human health risk assessment as well. The difference between real muscle concentrations and concentrations estimated using our method differs less than 10% in most of the investigated localities. Benthic organisms are an important part of the food web in aquatic environments, but insufficient information about its contamination is available. In another study included in this thesis, first evidence about bioaccumulation of certain pharmaceuticals in benthic organisms was described. Although, pharmaceuticals are generally considered to be not accumulative in organisms, our study proved that certain pharmaceuticals have bioaccumulation potential. From this finding, it is evident that not only the concentrations of pharmaceutical dissolved in water but also the diet represents an important exposure pathway of contamination by these compounds for organisms (fish) inhabiting aquatic environments.

Comparison of health care in the Czech Republic and Germany
Dutá, Sára ; Kocmánková Menšíková, Lucie (advisor) ; David, David (referee)
This thesis deals with comparing the two health systems, the differences between the quality of medical care in the Czech Republic and the Federal Republic of Germany, and more specifically with the individual physician access to the patient. The thesis explains in the theoretical part the basic concepts relating to the topic of health (the value of health and its determinants, lifestyle, prevention, illness, disease, health care, health care system and health policy) further discusses the Czech and German health care system and compares them basic structure, where the most fundamental difference is the difference of the German health system, which is divided into two levels, national and federal. The thesis also studies the role of the doctor and patient and the relationship between them. Secondary and comparative data analysis of the differences in health care in the Czech Republic and Germany showed that respondents are with care and physician access to the patient rather satisfied in Germany, although there are also drawbacks. Data obtained through semi-structured interviews show that views on health care varies according to the number of years spent in Germany (respondents who lived in Germany for example for 15 years, had with the local health care more experiences). Almost all interviewees seem to agree that the difference in health care in these countries is due to the differences in funds that are spent on health care. Annually put Germany on Health care about 11, 6% of GDP, of which 76.8% are public funds. On health care in the Czech Republic it is 7.5% of GDP. Participation in the payment of health care in the Czech Republic was 15.8%, Germany 23.5%. From the data obtained suggests that the quality of care affects the confidence in it and the need to treat the patient.

A comparison of the level and development of beekeeping between two neighbouring areas -the Ústecký Region and the Sachsen Freistaat
Šťastná, Anna-Marie ; Prášilová, Marie (advisor) ; Anna, Anna (referee)
The diploma work provides an analysis and comparison of the development in apiculture (bee-keeping) and of its present state in the Czech Republic and Germany. Attention with regard to apiculture is mostly paid to the two neighbouring regions: Ústí nad Labem Region and The Free State of Saxony.
The practical part first discusses the major guidelines in the development and status of apiculture both in the Czech Republic and Germany on the one hand, and in the Ústí nad Labem Region and Saxony on the other. Particular attention is given to the indices of quantification of beekeepers and bee colonies, the overall annual honey production and the average annual honey production per one bee colony. Attention is also given to the indices of the average honey consumption in both countries, to foreign trade in which honey is the commodity and to the rate of fund raising in support of bee keeping. The statistical data were provided by Czech beekeepers union, Regional Authority of the Usti Region, German Beekeepers Association, Federal Ministry of Food and Agricuture and the Saxon State Ministry for Enviroment and Agriculture. The diploma work, according to the obtained statistic data, offers a prediction of the future development in apiculture, again with regards to the two regions discussed.
The final part and the conclusions contain suggestions and recommendations concerning the development of apiculture in the Czech Republic and in the Federal Republic of Germany.

Němcová, Michaela ; Fejfar, Jiří (advisor) ; Kvasnička, Roman (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the planning of routes for truck transport company Blažek a synové. The aim is through appropriate economic and mathematical methods to find a suitable route, while that would be a minimal cost.
The literature review describes the basic terms on this topic. Primarily i tis focused on logistics and road car transport. There are also so described the methods by which it is possible to solve this problem.
Practical work is divided into two parts. First, it is assumed that the circuit will take a larger car that can carry all at once. Therefore, in this case, Vogel's approximation method is used and the best route for the company is chosen. In the second part, on the contrary, it is assumed that smaller cars must be taken so the route is divided into circuits. In this case Mayer's method is used, which divides the route into three areas. Again, the best route is selected.
In the end of this work there is evaluation. Assessing the financial terms and there is also a comparison of actual mileage of the routes used and calculated routes chosen methods. The comparison shows that the larger cars company save more money and also driving less kilometers.

Social aspects of consumerism as a phenomenon of the present time
MAJEROVÁ, Aneta
The diploma thesis has the title Social aspects of consumerism as a phenomenon of the present time. The theoretical part is divided into five chapters. The introduction chapter is designed as a theoretical framework of the whole thesis. That is why it describes hedonism as the original philosophy, consumer mentality and also the historical-cultural context of the development of the consumer society. The second chapter is in order to clarify main concepts devoted to terminological definition of consumerism and it also specifies concepts such as consumer society, consumerism etc. The third chapter focuses on aspects of consumer behaviour from marketing perspective, such as the cultural influences, personality determinants of consumers and impact of advertising. To social aspects of consumer behaviour that are the main object of study in this work is devoted the fourth chapter. The last chapter outlines the negative effects associated with consumer society, what involves issues of environmentalism in the context of the consumer society, further I mention modern forms of addiction (oniomania, shopaholism) and in the conclusion there are considered questions of what happens to our souls in the time of dominant, increasing, consumer thinking. The aim of this work is to map the social aspects of consumerism in the target group aged 30-55 years. Considering the methodological point of view, I applied a qualitative approach. Emphasis was placed on methodological triangulation of techniques therefore there were selected two data collection techniques - narrative interview technique (17 respondents) and the technique off standardized questionnaire (20 respondents). Primary data was coded/indexed and processed according to Ritchie and Spencer frame analysis method. In this diploma thesis there were set for research questions. The results show that two-thirds of respondents are aware of the influence that family has on their consumption patterns. Considering the dominance of married couples are decisions about shopping subordinated to traditional gender role - the dominant person is in two-thirds of families by shopping woman. The results also show that almost three quarters of respondents perceive regardless of their own income or education, their own social prestige as a middle-class one. Results also show that in the higher income categories were respondents more open to the influence of environment, their preference in clothing, choice of car and type of housing and lifestyle. The opinions of respondents on the life on loan have been predominantly unified - the vast majority of respondents rated this method of obtaining finance negatively. Characteristic common features in consumer behaviour in a middle class can be seen in a single perception of own social prestige as a middle-class one. Another common feature is a realistic idea related to the increased income that would bring respondents the feeling of happiness. Respondents also share negative attitude to life on the loan. On the basis of framework analysis and data interpretation, there were induced following theoretical concepts.

Impact of the Regional Labels on Regional Develepment in Vysočina Region
Chalupová, Martina ; Lošťák, Michal (advisor) ; Zagata, Lukáš (referee)
The dissertation thesis is focused on regional food labelling schemes in Vysočina Region and their impact on regional development, from the consumers perspective. Chosen economic and social aspects were analysed: the quality and content of the information on the regional labels in media, preference of regional food among inhabitants of Vysočina Region, their regional food preferences and awareness of regional labels. The research was conducted in two phases. Content analysis of media aimed to analyse media presence and occurance of the characteristics attached to each regional label: VYSOČINA Regional Product and Regional Food Vysočina Region. The other research had quantitative design and aimed to determine level of awareness of the labels among Vysočina inhabitants. To test the ability of respondents from Vysočina Region to recognise and differentiate the labels, the author created non existent label From Our Region Vysočina. Media analysis of the Vysočina regional labels revealed that media may help build awareness about the labels as they have been informing about them continuously, but they emphasise that these labels signal above all quality and origin, diminishing special connection with the region and its tradition. The research of regional labels awareness showed that respondents do not pay attention to the labels as almost 24% of 819 respondents claimed they had already seen non-existent label. This could be a viewed as a sign of the food labels inflation with their rising number and very low differentiation it is impossible for the conumers to differentiate them and also that people do not pay attention to them. Further analysis confirmed that respondents preferences and views on the regional labels from the Vysočina districts differ.

Agricultural in terms of Sustainable Development of Agrarian Sector
Frýdlová, Monika ; Boháčková, Ivana (advisor) ; Smutka, Luboš (referee)
The sustainability discourse clearly gives priority to the so-called "three-pillar model", according to which sustainable development should equally try to reach ecological, economic, and social goals. An increasing variety of methods is being proposed to address the question of the measurement of sustainable development. The concept of sustainable development can be interpreted in many different ways, but at its core is an approach to development that looks to balance different, and often competing, needs against an awareness of the environmental, social and economic limitations we face as asociety. Submitting theses deal with measuring sustainable agriculture and introduces a practical methodology for evaluating the sustainability of agriculture system by means of composite indicators. This methodology was based on calculating seven sustainability indicators that cover the three components of the sustainability concept (economic, social and environmental). The methodological proposal implemented in theses allowed an integrated vision of agricultural sustainability and careful selection of sustainability indicators, carried out on the basis of reliability criteria and applicability. The evaluation of agricultural sustainability/production system sustainability using the methods suggested is a potentially useful tool for public decision-makers who are tasked with designing and implementing agricultural policy. The results demonstrated the usefulness of analyzing several sustainability indicators in conjunction, in order to obtain more robust results. Such information can help to improve current agricultural policies, such as income policy, agricultural structure policy and rural development policy, with the aim of improving the sustainability of the agricultural sector.
