Kelča, Daniel ; Daněk, Ladislav (referee) ; Kubíček, Jaroslav (advisor)
KELČA Daniel: Welding of thin-walled pipe The project, elaborated during the engineering study, field of study M-VTM (Production technology and industrial management) deals with welding of thin-walled pipes Cats in practise. There are methods of WIG and microplasma welding compared. The suggested basic material is corrosion-resistant ferritic steel X2CrMoTi18-2 (1.4521; AISI 444). Welding runs continuously and depends on the demanded length of the thin-walled pipe. The tests of the weld were designed on the basis of a literary study. They should help us together with the economic evaluation to assess the two methods.

Interaction between TiAl melt and coated oxide refractories
Dočekalová, Kateřina ; Dlouhý, Antonín ; Zemčík, L. ; Fiala, J.
The present study focuses on reactions between ceramic crucibles and molten TiAl intermetallics. Coating strategies are investigated that exhibit a potential in slowing down the decomposition of the crucible wall. Uncoated crucibles (system TiAl melt - Al2O3 crucible) and crucibles with the coat (system TiAl melt - CaO coat - Al2O3 crucible) were used in melting and casting experiments. The reference state of the coated crucible before the melting trial was also investigated. Results of the SEM, EDAX and X-ray diffraction analysis contributed to the identification of the reaction zone and its chemical composition. The melt contamination with oxide inclusions results from the erosion process in which individual components of the melt diffuse along grain boundaries of the refractory and activate chemical reactions that decompose the crucible wall. Assessment of thermodynamic parameters associated with the chemical reactions helped in identifying the nature of the erosion process.

Berka, Kryštof ; Procházka, Pavel (advisor) ; Dyba, Karel (referee)
The aim of the bachelor's thesis is economic development assessment among and within BRICs countries in the context of developed world during 2007-2015. Based on yearly panel data, an analysis for following macroeconomic indicators was carried out: gross domestic product, inflation rate, unemployment rate, current account on the balance of payments, exchange rate. The profound analysis of selected indicators is instrumental in the comparison of member states and is supplemented by the comparison of BRICs and G6. Based on its evidence, I come to a conclusion that the BRICs as a whole succeeded in establishing as a strong global actor. That has been achieved with the help of global financial crisis, but also with regard to the economic policy implemented in 2007-2015. As a result, GDP of BRICs in terms of GDP of G6 achieved stable growth rate leading to its increase by 52 %. Besides providing main findings, outcomes of this thesis enable to identify main weaknesses and strengths of BRICs economies affecting the prospects for continuance of stable economic growth.

Kubíčková, Kateřina ; Filipová, Vladimíra (advisor) ; Drozen, František (referee)
This bachelor thesis is focused on external sources of finance for business projects in the Czech Republic. The theoretical framework summarizes the expertise and definitions relating to business, entrepreneurs personality, to legal forms of business and traditional external sources of finance. As the lack of resources or difficult access to traditional sources of capital can sometimes be an obstacle in the realization of a welcome and viable business plan, the second half of the thesis is devoted to alternative options of financing business projects with an emphasis on EU subsidies drawing. Other analysed external sources of finance are the investments of private investors called Business Angels, venture and private equity capital, crowdfunding and at the end preferential credits from banking institutions offered to start-ups or new business projects. The main target of this thesis is to provide an overview of the available external projects funding, to find out how they are going on in the Czech Republic and at the conclusion to assess, what kinds of projects are suitable for every single kind of funding. This thesis could help to entrepreneurs, who do not have enough funds for their idea, to be knowledgeable in current options of external financial sources.

Impact of statute 108/2006 Sb., about social services, to senior´s taking social sevices
RUDKOVÁ, Eva
By raising living standards and the health care level, our citizens live longer lives, which is a favourable criterion of social climate. To ensure the funding of necessary social services to senior citizens, the Social Services Act No. 108/2006 Coll. can be applied to provide seniors with care allowance. Care allowance is a state benefit provided to individuals in difficult social situations, who are dependent on assistance from other individuals. The purpose of this benefit is to allow a person to arrange for a necessary assistance according to his/her own deliberation, either within a family or through a social services provider in the form of a particular social service, or by means of another person or a legal personality. The theoretical part of my thesis is focused mainly on aspects of aging, the Social Services Act, and primarily on the care allowance. In the practical part I mainly dealt with the impact of Act No. 108/2006 Coll. on drawing and use of social services by seniors. I wanted to identify the attitude of the elderly to social services. How and to what extent they use the services, if they receive a care allowance and if they properly understand its purpose. For my research I chose the method of a questionnaire survey. In the course of the months of June and July 2010, 100 seniors living in the Prachatice region were addressed. The research has proved that seniors feel sufficiently informed about the range of social services in their neighborhood and that they are satisfied with their quality. The research has shown that social services are being used far more by the elderly who receive a care allowance. The most popular are residential care homes and out-of-home care. A large proportion of the elderly also use unofficial services, provided by a close relative. Most seniors who do not draw a care allowance do not use any kind of social services. The results also show that women care about social services in a much larger percentage than men. I would like to see my work used for further research on this topic and also for educational purposes. It could help social services providers in the assessment which groups of potential clients they should focus on and so to increase their awareness of the range of social services available.

Kotková, Petra ; Šivicová, Gabriela (referee) ; Weiss, Petr (advisor)
The diploma thesis deal with the topic of sexual life of people suffering from the Parkinson's disease (PD). The theoretical part contains basic information about PD and the results of researches on sexuality of people with this illness, focusing on the agents that infl uence PD. The empirical part comprises of a research project implemented on a set of 103 people with PD. In order to describe the specifi cs of the patients' sexual lives, two sets of questions were designed (separate for men and women), containing a questionnaire on sociodemographic features, psychological (BDI-II, STAI) and sexuological questionnaires. The acquired data was statistically elaborated by means of the programme SPSS. Results of the sexuological questionnaires (GRISS, FSFI, SFŽ3, SFM, IIEF) show a decrease in sexual functions and a presence of sexual dysfunctions connected with PD. With the help of regressive models, it was elicited that in case of men with this illness, the most infl uential agent on their sexual life is depression and subjectively scoring the illness, in case of women the agent of depression and anxiety.
