Analysis of communication strategy of Red Bull Czech Republic
Syrovátková, Anežka ; Mikeš, Jiří (advisor) ; Homolka, Pavel (referee)
In my thesis I focused on the analysis of communication strategy of Red Bull Czech Republic, specifically on advertising, communication at the point of sale, public relations and media communications, opinion leaders program, event marketing and digital communications. I started from global communication strategy represented by Red Bull Media House and I have examined, how this strategy is implemented at local level. For this analysis, it was also necessary to analyze market of energy drinks in the Czech Republic, as it stands under the category of soft drinks and what position takes Red Bull. Based on these analyzes, I evaluated pros, cons and suggested possible improvements.

Arctic tundra dendrochronology
Lehejček, Jiří ; Svoboda, Miroslav (advisor) ; Monika, Monika (referee)
Historically unprecedented environmental change in the Arctic ecosystems is often given into the context of its past and possible future development. In the region where instrumental meteorological observations are scarce archives need to be investigated in order to address this issues. The comprehensive synthesis one of the archives: long-live circumpolar evergreen Juniperus communis L. shrub is presented here. 20 individuals from southwest Greenland were investigated at the cell anatomy level to understand the ecology of the species and unhide its potential for environmental and climate reconstructions. The findings are as follows:
i) Stop of exponential cross-sectional conduit-lumen widening with increasing age is in contrast with conduit-lumen nature of trees. This indicates that shrubs do not need to saturate their water and nutrient demands via traits of classical hydraulic conductivity law but rather developed different mechanisms. Extreme weather conditions result in prostrate growth form. However, different weather factors probably influence shrub growth differently: While snow and wind act mechanically (a), temperature influences the form of growth physiologically (b). a) So long as the young shrub stem has high resilience to bend back to an upright position after snow melt and so long as it can withstand the wind during the vegetation season it most likely grows upright and the conduit-lumens widen. b) Temperature, resp. freeze-thaw events are responsible for the shrubs preference of safety (finite size of conduit-lumens) over hydraulic efficiency, thus not allowing for more primary growth. All of these (and other) factors are apparently working together and the transition of vertical to more horizontal growth is gradual. As a consequence, the conduit-lumen sizes may not have to be further increased (due to ecophysiological restrictions possibly also must not) because water is no longer transported against gravity.
ii) Observed age/growth trend has to be taken into consideration for further employment of the wood anatomical parameter in paleoenvironmental studies. That is, shrub cell parameters can only be used for this purposes if correctly detrended. This allows for more accurate as well as longer reconstructions because youth trend was often neglected in reconstructions based on shrub annual-rings.
iii) The south-western Greenland Ice-Sheet (GrIS) melt rates reconstruction is presented for the whole 20th century. This part of GrIS is considered as the most active. According to the presented reconstruction current GrIS melt rates are not uncommon for the last century being comparable to first decades of 20th century. This finding is particularly important contribution to the debate on Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC). Too high fresh water inputs into the Northern Atlantic from GrIS melting may slow down or even stop the AMOC which would result in more continental climate in Europe. Presented results indicate that this threshold lies higher than observed current melt rates of GrIS.
Fascinating Juniperus comunnis species has shown to be able to address many ecological as well as environmental open questions and due to its longevity and abundant distribution has a great potential to become an important player in the Arctic research.

Detective quantum efficiency of electron bombarded CCD
Horáček, Miroslav
Detective quantum efficiency (DQE) describes the ability of the image sensor to transfer input image information into the output electrical signal from the point of view of added noise. DQE was measured in direct electron bombarded mode using an empty image and the mixing facor method for energies of electrons 2 to 5 keV. DQE increases with increasing energy of bombarded electrons. Optimum wotking energy from the point of view of dynamic range, brightness resolutin, and integration time of the sensor is 4.2 keV. DQE is 0.7 for this energy and integration time below 10 ms.

The local self-government in Pardubice 1880-1914
Táborský, Ondřej ; Hlavačka, Milan (referee) ; Štaif, Jiří (advisor)
This thesis focuses on the development of the mechanism of self-government in Pardubice. The work is limited by years 1880 and 1914. The first chapter explains the political situation and demographical changes in Pardubice in the second half of the 19th century. The second chapter deals with the topic of communal elections. There have been eleven elections to the communal self-government during the tracked period. We have been able (thanks to the acquired results of the elections) to find that the electoral right has increased because of the pressure from minor political parties. Only 15% percent of inhabitants could vote the communal vestry in the prewar period because of the unfair election right. The majority of voters of the first congregation was represented by the members of the so called "honoration". The third chapter has shown the changes in the social structure of the self government of Pardubice. Comparatively stable and active component were the members of the artes liberales. The highest increase in the number of representatives was in the state bureaucracy. The fourth part focuses on the political development in the field of struggle for the directorial positions in the municipality. The fifth part deals with management of local self goverment of Pardubice and construction of the modern...

Methodologies of information services management, their comparison and impacts on corporate ICT efficiency
Novák, Tomáš ; Voříšek, Jiří (advisor) ; Kufner, Vladimír (referee)
This diploma thesis engages with methodologies of managing processes in informatics. This thesis takes into account ITIL, COBIT and ITGPM frameworks considering primarily aspects of setting-up and ensuring SLAs of the services provided by informatics. The author of this thesis has chosen this topic with regards to his profession where as project manager has met typical problems related to the development as well as to the operation of information systems. The goal of this work is to find out what is the approach of each of the considered methodologies to SLAs and their fulfilment. In the second part the thesis is aimed in practical impact of SLAs to the development and operation phases of the service lifecycle. In the first part of the thesis, the given objectives are met on a theoretical level, where is for each of the selected methodological frameworks captured its approach to the issues related to an information service operation, its parameters and their ensuring. Next goal, still on theoretical level, is to find out, whether the individual methodologies (approaches) can be combined together in order to reach the needed quality of a service. In its second part is the thesis aimed on practical analysis of the SLA impact on the development and operational activities. As an example, the author describes necessary adjustments to the processes of both, the provider and the customer of any informatics service, beginning from the initial analytical phases to the live mode of the service. The practical part combines approaches of the given frameworks and adds author's experiences gained in the domain. In the end of the thesis, findings and conclusions resulting from the captured facts are briefly summarized, including the author's opinion and recommendations.

Regulation of retailer-supplier relatiohships within the food chain
Mokrejšová, Veronika ; Zadražilová, Dana (advisor) ; Klosová, Anna (referee) ; Zeman, Jiří (referee) ; Vyhnálek, Petr (referee)
This thesis deals with retailer-supplier relationships within the food chain, and with possibilities of their regulation. The aim is to assess the effect of regulation of retailer-supplier relationship, through "Act on Significant Market Power and Abuse thereof" on particular food chain members, and eventually to propose an alternative solution of their regulation. The thesis states the following hypothesis: The Act on Significant Market Power does not change bargaining power between suppliers and retailers. The thesis is divided into five parts. The first of those defines the issue of retailer-supplier relationship, especially the so called "unfair practices". The mind-set of the European Commission which judges the unfairness of a practice, according to its impact on consumer, investment and competition is stressed. When comparing market shares and profit abilities, it is obvious that supplier sector is not disadvantaged in relation to retailing, however, there are cases of small and medium enterprises over which retailers can impose their bargaining power. Retroactive changes and excessive risk transfer on a business partner are then indicated as unfair, which is confirmed by microeconomic analysis. The second part maps means of regulation, through hard and soft law in the EU and its member states with focus on the Czech Republic, where the Act No. 395/2009 Coll., on Significant Market Power in the Sale of Agricultural and Food Products and Abuse thereof is applied. It is found that regulation within the EU is heterogeneous and the results of different regulatory mechanism in different countries differ. The third part talks about self-regulatory possibilities constituted by corporate social responsibility. The main solution of retailer-supplier relationships is represented by stakeholder dialogue, in which contractual parties look for the basis of their antagonistic positions (which are hidden in their interests and needs), and try to identify mutual needs and to create shared value. This approach increases the created value, which is advantageous for both partners, instead of redistributing the value to the benefit of the stronger partner. The fourth part presents the results of a survey conducted among retailers, retailer suppliers and farmers, their opinions about the Act on Significant Market Power, about changes caused by this Act and about particular unfair practices. It was realised that the Act does not help the suppliers very much, in that the bargaining position was improved only with a tiny part of the respondents, and the Act even did not fulfil the role of small and medium sized enterprises protection. The everyday practice of retailer-supplier relationships remains (after changing few legal formulations in the contracts) almost the same as it was before the Act came into force. The only considerable change is shortening the payment period to 30 days; however, there are suppliers that are not content about this provision. The farmers do not feel any consequences of the Act; retailers regard it as business barrier and excessive regulation. Thus, this part confirms the hypothesis. The final part of the thesis proposes a solution to this issue by engaging many stakeholders: the business partners (self-regulation), the State (regulation through general universal act), consumers, non-governmental organisations and media (generating demand for responsible behaviour of firms).

Shanghai organization for cooperation
Rogov, Dmitry ; Halík, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Sato, Alexej (referee)
This thesis is about the development and prospects of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. Shanghai Cooperation Organization can play an important role in the development of Asia. There is a possibility that the organization will be able to solve the region's major problems, such as security issues, large differences in the level of economic development of the countries and the issues associated with infrastructure, especially in energy and transport. But it is not clear enough how the further development of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization will go. The purpose of this work is to understand the current situation within the organization and to analyze the current conditions of the member states for further development. Another objective is to determine the perspective organization based on the analysis. Work will focus on current economic, cultural and military relations between the participating countries.
