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.

Influence of social politics on fertility rate in specific regions of Czech republic
Dvořák, Josef ; Melzochová, Jitka (advisor) ; Babin, Jan (referee)
Thesis is focused on relationship between fertility rate and tools of state support. The goal is to reveal relationship between these two factors. Partial goal is to discover specific effects of tools of state support in specific regions of Czech republic. I have aimed on research at national level and also specific regions between years 1993-2014. In order to find these relationships I used method that compares differences in development of the fertility rate. After that, I set up regression model solved by method called fixed effects. For specific regions analysis was used OLS method. Model was able to explain more than 80 % of variability. This results can be used for predicting of citizens behavior, when some changes in family allowances occurs. Main finding is, that most motivating tools are parenting allowances and child benefits.

The analysis of price elasticity of demand for beer
Hromadníková, Kateřina ; Mirvald, Michal (advisor) ; Babin, Jan (referee)
The thesis analyses price elasticity of beer demand. Hypothesis about inelastic demand is tested first for nationwide level and then on data of specific brewery. Elasticity was determined by regression analysis, specifically by ordinary least squares with all variables expressed in logarithmic form. Consumption of beer is the endogenous variable and price of bottled beer (price of one hectoliter of beer in case of brewery), average gross income and price level are in the role of the exogenous variables. The hypothesis about inelastic demand was successfully proved. Price elasticity estimates range from -0,66 to -0,2. In case of specific brewery price was not significant. On the other hand, average gross income seems to be the significant determinant. According to income elasticity beer seems to be luxury good in case of specific brewery and necessity in case of nationwide level.

Impact of urban greenery on the property value in Prague
Kaprová, Kateřina ; Melichar, Jan (advisor) ; Vojáček, Ondřej (referee)
The main purpose of the diploma thesis is to estimate the impact of urban vegetation on real estate prices in terms of hedonic pricing method and furthermore to suggest a way how the estimated results should be implemented into decision-making within green areas of Prague. In the legal setting of Czech republic, the greenery is almost entirely provided to citizens through public budgets. As many effects of green areas do not come through markets, the decision-making about optimal quantity of greenery supplied comes to be heavily problematic. Concerning this, contibution of urban vegetation to the well-being of residents estimated in this thesis may become fundamental guide-post for public bodies. The theorethical part of the thesis is devoted to the problematics of green areas as an economic good and to the specification of urban greenery in Prague.Then the method used is shortly characterised. The practical part deals with choice of the appropriate variables representing urban greenery on the basis of relevant literature search. The main scope of the practical part is to describe and analyze property data set from Prague and finally to examine the impact of chosen environmental variables on the property prices.

Variability of the high jump technique
Valek, Miloš ; Vindušková, Jitka (advisor) ; Krátký, Petr (referee)
Variability of Technique in High Jump Thesis objectives: The main aim of my thesis is to find out the way how the technique in specific training methods of high jump, which are full runup jumps with different directions of the coach, are changing. The next aim is to evaluate acquired kinematic parameters for each high jumper, compare the results and find defects in technique of V. Urban and V. Hojka. Method: Kinematic 3D analysis was used for the study of techniques in specific training methods. Watched spatio-temporal events were recorded on digital cameras. The record was sequentially converted to eligible digital format and processed with APAS computer programme. The output data (partially processed in Microsoft Excel) were gained in APAS programme. Results: The influence of specific training methods of high jump mentioned above was achieved. The parallel results out of 35 watched kinematic parameters became evident in 24 kinetic parameters. The athlete L. Urban inclines to "power" flop, while L. Hojka's technique can be described as speed jumping.

Enterohepatic circulation of bilirubin
Zelenka, Jaroslav ; Vítek, Libor (advisor) ; Entlicher, Gustav (referee) ; Červinková, Zuzana (referee)
Bilirubin is a main physiological product of heme degradation possessing important antioxidant and antiinflammatory properties. On the other hand, it could be neurotoxic during severe unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia combined with insufficiency of blood-brain barrier (neonatal jaundice). It is secreted from the body via bile and is further metabolized in the intestine. Part of the substance is reduced to urobilinoids, part is adsorbed to the intestinal content and some part could be reabsorbed back to the systemic circulation. This enterohepatically and enterosystemically circulating fraction varies in size depending on the rate of bilirubin secretion, solubility in the intestine and intensity of its intestinal metabolism. Under specific circumstances, EHC and ESC may significantly increase serum and bile bilirubin levels and influence physiological as well as pathological processes occuring in the body. Among the most important is the protective elevation of UCB levels in Gilbert syndrome subjects and dangerous increase in severity of neonatal jaundice. In the presented thesis, the mechanisms affecting EHC and ESC of bilirubin and tools for further research in BP metabolism were investigated. The solubility of intestinal UCB is strongly decreased by addition of divalent cations. However, such approach to...

Identification of lactic acid bacteria in probiotic products (tablets) using amplification methods
Balogová, Petra ; Trachtová, Štěpánka (referee) ; Španová, Alena (advisor)
Lactobacillus have been playing a crucial role in the fermentation processes for millenia. Their probiotic effects have been studied deeply and nowadays they are used in the production of fermented products and food adjunkt including probiotic preparations. This thesis was focused on bakteria of genus Lactobacillus in probiotic preparations (tablets). Polymerase chain reaction method (PCR) based on amplification of DNA was used to identify lactobacillus in seven probiotic preparations. As DNA matrices whole DNA recovered from tablets with the help of magnetic microparticles (P(HEMA-co¬-GMA) coated by carboxylic groups was used into a PCR mixture. Genus specific PCR products (250 bp) were detected with the help of gel electrophoresis on agaróse. DNA of genus Lactobacillus was proved in all but one product. In this product only probiotic bacteria were declared presence without family identification was proved. It contained different bakteria then bakteria of Genus Lactobacillus probably.
