Ethnography of research object in knowledge production practices: Configurations of materiality, discursivity and agency.
Górska, Magdalena ; Kiczková, Zuzana (advisor) ; Ezzeddine, Petra (referee)
Thesis investigates performative processes of research object materialization in everyday research practices enacted in a scientific laboratory examining biosynthesis of pheromones of bumblebees. Drawing attention to the simultaneous continuities and transformations that are characteristic for the specific materialization processes of the research object, the thesis attempts to question anthropocentric accounts of cognitive practices of science and focuses not only on human but also on non-human agency. It also attempts to challenge conceptualisation of matter as passive and essential entity which is grounded in positivist and representationalist accounts of science and knowledge. Instead, it aims to understand materiality and diskursivity as mutually and onto-epistemologically constitutive. The thesis also marginally focuses on the contemporary research policies and managerial and evaluation systems that are discussed here as normative actors transforming concept of science and agentially constituting research object enactment in everyday research practices. These debates are grounded in a posthumanist materialist framework that builds on literature in science studies (Actor-Network-Theory in particular) and feminist materialism of Karen Barad and Judith Butler.

Planning in business valuation with emphasis on rate of growth and on invested capital
Jahodová, Lucie ; Mařík, Miloš (advisor) ; Marek, Petr (referee) ; Hrdý, Milan (referee)
The main goal of this thesis is to suggest a concept of financial planning for business valuation. Entry chapters are dedicated especially to the examination of differences between financial plan as one of company's activities and plan for business valuation. In the following chapter key parameters essentially influencing company's value (value drivers) are described. Two of them are accented: rate of growth and invested capital which is necessary for company's main business including its rate of return. I examine an impact of historical growth of the company, growth based on analyst's estimates and fundamental growth of the company on company's growth rate in the extraordinary growth period (first stage). In the next part I pay attention to factors and empirical studies influencing long term rate of growth. Then the rate of similarity of accounting invested capital and invested capital for business valuation and its impact on rate of return of invested capital is analysed. I point out intangible assets and in Czech accounting principles financial leasing assets. Then the relationship between rate of return of invested capital and costs of capital is described; the length of the first stage is suggested; use of models, which are necessary for transition of the company to its steady state is suggested; there are company's key characteristics, which change together with stabilization of the company, identified and there are advantages and disadvantages of value drivers formula and Gordon growth formula discussed. An empirical study dealing with planning for business valuation in the Czech Republic, where business valuation experts took part, was accomplished. The results of the study are presented in several different parts of this thesis.

The impact of the economic cycle to finance the defense of the Czech republic in years 2004-2014
Heres, Ondřej ; Chmelová, Pavla (advisor) ; Strejček, Ivo (referee)
This bachelor work examines the impact of economic performance on financing the defense sector in the Czech Republic in the years 2004-2014. The main questions are whether this influence is clear and the extent to which is essential for funding this sector. The work also provides a basic overview about development and structure of the Ministry of Defence budget in these years. The theoretical part contains theories of business cycle and public sector and briefly introduces the basic institutions that are tasked to provide a defense. The analytic part analyzes the expenditures and revenues of the Ministry of Defence and assesses their mutual influence and simultaneously the influence of GDP on these indicators. To compare with previous findings, the GPD growth rate and the growth rate of defense expenditures in selected countries of NATO are analyzed in brief in the last chapter. While findings based on data from the Ministry of Defence have rather anticyclical development of defense expenditures, in selected countries of NATO, the development is more procyclical. It highlights the very ambiguous impact of the economic cycle on expenditures in the defense sector.

Criminal activity releated to the use of illegal drugs
NOVÁK, Martin
In my thesis I deal with illegal drug use leading to criminality. Drug abuse has been a debated issue recently because drugs are omnipresent in our society. Illegal drug use has been a serious problem worldwide. Due to its geographical location, shortly after 1989 and after the fall of the Iron Curtain the Czech Republic has become both a transit and a destination country for all sorts of drugs within a short time. The objective of my thesis is to examine, describe and analyse the overall criminality in the Prague area in 2005 {--} 2007. The other concern of my research was to determine the drug addicts´ contribution in proportion to the overall criminality. I set three hypotheses: H I : The most common drug addicts´criminal activity is theft. H II : Most drug addicted criminal offenders are male. H III : The most common drug being abused is pervitin. The thesis is divided into two parts {--} theoretical and practical. In the theoretical part the development of the drug scene in the Czech Republic and crimes committed by drug addicts are described. I also give information on detection, investigation and criminal sanctions in criminality caused by drug addicts. I gathered the data from specialist literature. In the practical part I used the technique of the secondary statistical data analysis. I analysed the statistical data from 2005 {--} 2007 obtained from the Police of the Czech Republic Headquarters. The research was conducted by the quantitative questionnaire method and the data obtained were analysed. The data were put into charts and diagrams. All the hypotheses suggested were confirmed. The objective of my thesis was accomplished.

Chmelová, Eliška ; Mouralová, Magdalena (advisor) ; Nekola, Martin (referee)
This paper deals with a development of certain aspects of discourse between authors of technical and policy science papers pertaining to antidrug policies in time period of 1993 - 2010. The basic question of my research is: What kind of discourse has been taking place among the authors of these documents? I try to asses whether this discourse has changed over the years and how. I analyze those selected documents that were essential for establishing of antidrug policy and development this policy has undergone from the beginning until now. My paper examines progress and changes in labeling the problem itself, labeling of actual users and approach to proposed solutions. Analysis of content focuses on hidden meanings in the language used and uncovers attitudes and opinions of the authors in regard of drug problem. My study also describes the development of antidrug policy in Czech Republic during the above mentioned period and in this context describes and labels those aspects of system of values that have served as basis for key documents of antidrug policy. As a theoretical framework I have chosen a theory based on premiss that language used by authors of the documents also has impact on the situation of the actual users themselves.

Vaníčková, Klára ; Oehm, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Salač, Josef (referee)
134 Summary The submitted intensive work consists of an extensively processed subject matter in three chapters and 128-pages of my writing. The contents of which is not only extremely interesting, but also very up-to-date. In the first chapter, I address the subject of companies, essentially detailing the basic questions of lease and transfer of proprietary of cooperative housing. Basic body of laws are "concepts of housing cooperatives" and their types, furthermore "membership" in a housing cooperative and finally concepts of "cooperative housing." In the second chapter, I examine problems that are associated with the "lease of cooperative housing." In the third chapter, I investigate the details concerning the "transfer of proprietary cooperative housing." Special attention is given to the lack of legislation on the subject of "housing unit proprietor associations." In the work I comment primarily on the consequences of the opinions of the judicial court (for example fundamental disagreement with the impact of the assessment of transfer rights and responsibilities of a housing cooperative in relationship to the lease of a cooperative unit.) In the final article III./7.2, I express my reservations to proposed new legislation on proprietary housing. The following list contains reference literature.
