Modern marketing communication tools and their use of a particular online store
Jochimová, Natálie ; Pešek, Ondřej (advisor) ; Kajfoszová, Dorota (referee)
This Master´s thesis entitled Modern marketing communication tools and their use of a particular online store dedicated to modern methods of promotion on the Internet market of fashion in the Czech Republic, namely the largest of these deals ZOOT.cz. The aim of the work is based on quantitative and qualitative research to evaluate the use of modern tools of marketing communication in the example mentioned internet business when compared with other entities. The theoretical part of this thesis provides a definition of Internet marketing and the entire online environment, as well as a description of various marketing tools along with outlining their modern forms. In the practical part is to analyse these tools with an online shop ZOOT.cz. The main sources of data are the results of a survey from ZOOT called Fashion Report, data from Sklik to new service Retargeting about the effectiveness of its use, as well as the conclusions of individual and group interviews with employees of ZOOT or internal documents online stores on the effectiveness of individual used instruments. The results of these studies show that if companies use modern marketing communication tools, they are still more emphasis on the rapid inclusion of innovations into business activities, providing superior customer service, but also a form of monitoring advertisements for competitors.

Splicing of atypical introns in S. cerevisiae
Cit, Zdeněk ; Půta, František (advisor) ; Pichová, Alena (referee)
Pre-mRNA splicing is a vital process of gene expression important for all eukaryotic organisms. For the proper function of this very complex and dynamic event the presence of few specialized RNA and many proteins that hold a variety of tasks is necessary, not only inside the splicing complex itself, but also beyond this complex. The Prp45 is one of the proteins involved in pre-mRNA splicing in yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Its human homologue, SNW1/SKIP, is involved in splicing but also in other crucial cell processes. The Prp45 protein was reliably reported only to participate in the second transesterification reaction of splicing. But there are also data suggesting its possible involvement in the first transesterification reaction. This work provides further evidences linking protein Prp45 with the first splicing reaction, obtained by the research of cells carrying the mutant allele prp45(1-169). Cells carrying this allele show dropped splicing and accumulation of pre-mRNAs. This thesis therefore also investigated the possible influence of Prp45 protein on the RNA export from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. But no connection between this protein and RNA transport was discovered. Keywords pre-mRNA splicing; Saccharomyces cerevisiae; Prp45; Mer1; Mud2; Prp22; Rrp6; AMA1; SNW1/SKIP

Internal equity principle in the context of company strategy
Kopecký, Martin ; Nový, Ivan (advisor) ; Háša, Stanislav (referee) ; Blažek, Ladislav (referee)
The thesis deals with the scientific problem of the link between the strategic management and the compensation system using the principle of internal equity. The work is based on two pillars, namely the qualitative research and own proposed solution. The first part of the thesis describes the qualitative research and the possibilities and the synergistic effects of linking business strategy and compensation system. The qualitative research is performed as a multi-case study and investigates the phenomenon in the practice of three companies from various markets (the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Bosnia and Hercegovina) and industries (finance, IT/Telco and FMCG). The research tries to find answers to the four research questions: How does business strategy influence compensation process? How can compensation support the realization of a business strategy? How can business strategy be linked with a compensation system within the principle of internal equity? How can compensation reinforce the strategic function of the human resources management? The research is based on the study of theoretical sources as well as on practical fieldwork. The qualitative research itself uses qualitative research methods for data collection, such as observations, questionnaires, and document analysis. The population questioned was top managers, line managers and representatives of HR department. In total, 142 interviews were performed by a single person. The collected data were analyzed and the triangulation was applied. The findings were summarized and generalized into a final report that brings answers to the research questions above. The research brings valuable findings used in the second, design part of the thesis. The own proposed solution consists of two main models. The first one is a simplified scheme of the compensation system and the second one is a model of strategic segmentation of jobs. The first model could be used successfully in the business practice as well as in education. The second model of the strategic job segmentation brings answer to the question of synergistic linking of business strategy and the compensation system within the principle of internal equity. The model brings valuable findings and a foundation for further theoretical research and its further development. The model also brings practical solution to the design of related policies and processes in the strategic management of human resources. By the design of both proposed models the main objectives of the thesis were achieved.

ELECTRON BEAM REMELTING OF PLASMA SPRAYED ALUMINA COATINGS
Matějíček, Jiří ; Veverka, J. ; Čížek, J. ; Kouřil, J.
Plasma sprayed alumina coatings find numerous applications in various fields, where they enhance the properties of the base material. Examples include thermal barriers, wear resistance, electrical insulation, and diffusion and corrosion barriers. A typical structure of plasma sprayed coatings, containing a multitude of voids and imperfectly bonded interfaces, gives them unique properties - particularly low thermal conductivity, high strain tolerance, etc. However, for certain applications such as permeation barriers or wear resistance, these voids may be detrimental.\nThis paper reports on the first experiments with remelting of plasma sprayed alumina coatings by electron beam technology, with the purpose of densifying the coatings and thereby eliminating the voids. Throughout the study, several parameters of the e-beam device were varied - beam current, traverse velocity and number of passes. The treated coatings were observed by light and electron microscopy and the thickness, structure and surface morphology of the remelted layer were determined and correlated with the process parameters. Based on the first series of experiments, the e-beam settings leading to dense and smooth remelted layer of sufficient thickness were obtained. In this layer, a change of phase composition and a marked increase in hardness were observed.\n

Two phase flow of water and air, flat jet above the plate, jet sloping 75° and 90°
Říha, Zdeněk
The report contains CFD results and description of the two phase flow water and air. Water comes into the computational domain through\nsimplified nozzle which creates water flat jet with spraying angle c. 40o. The flat jet falls on the wall surface where flows along the surface plate in all directions (x,y mainly). The aim of the work is to show how the falling water flows on the wall surface with help of advanced CFD model. Two cases had been solved there with various jets sloping to the surface plate. The first case contains results with configuration of the geometry for the jet sloping 75o and second case contains results with configuration of the geometry for the jet sloping 90o, see enclosures 1 and 2. Given calculation had been done as steady state calculations.
