The development of the territorial order of Public Administration in the south Bohemia from the half of 19th century till present time
KARPÍŠEK, Jaromír
This thesis shows the development of Public Administration of the south Bohemia in its territorial and structural form. The main target is to make a preview of territorial changes of the structure of authorities in the south Bohemia pointing to a wider context based on its change according to particular parts of development in time. It is also important to point out the role of the territory and demographic situation of particular regional place as a center of Public Administration. Therefore the main target is to explain whether the territorial location of places as a centres of regional authorities and development of the structure of authorities have some influence to development of this places. Development of these authorities in the past with all the territorial changes may help us to understand the present state of regions and connections among particular regional centres.

Economy of Chile in 1960s and 1970s with Accent on Market Reforms after 1973
Strejčková, Klára ; Pekárek, Štěpán (advisor) ; Ševčík, Miroslav (referee)
This bachelor thesis puts the stress on the analysis of economic reforms approved in Chile in the 60's and 70's years of the 20th century. The focus of this work is profoundly dedicated to the analysis of two important macroeconomic indicators: developments of inflation and trade exports, bearing in mind the context of the coup in 1973 which is seen as a direct consequence of the communist rule of the Salvador Allende's Cabinet (1970-1973). The Allende's Cabinet strove to transform the Chilean economic society into a socialist one. The bachelor thesis has validated a hypothesis stating that the pro-market reforms approved after 1973 led to diversification of the Chilean export as well as a gradual and progressive stabilization of the country's inflation that had reached as 350 % during the socialist Allende's government. This work brings a comparison of two very different economic doctrines that formed Chile in the 70's of the last century. There is being compared a socialist government approach, having focused on nationalizing of the private sector, to the liberal government's approach aimed at decreasing the public sector, privatization as well as tearing down international trade barriers.

Nursing care of the patients with chronic pancreatitis
SKOŘEPOVÁ, Jana
Chronic pancreatitis is a serious disease, which despite the rapid development of diagnostics and treatment is often diagnosed in late stages. The disease cannot actually be cured, but change of lifestyle and adherence to diet regimen can influence not only the disease course and progression, but also occurrence of complications. This thesis deals with the problems of nursing care of patients with chronic pancreatitis, with the level of awareness of the disease and the regimen measures among patients. It also monitors willingness and ability of respondents to accept the change of lifestyle and diet habits. The goal of the thesis is to find out the specifics of nursing care of clients with chronic pancreatitis. Qualitative research methods were applied in the empiric part of the thesis to achieve the goal.The research was performed in clients with chronic pancreatitis visiting the gastroenterology outpatient department of Tábor Hospital and a group of ten respondents at different stages of the disease were subject to the research. Their selection was conditioned by their willingness to participate in the research and to cooperate. A semi-structured interview was conducted with each respondent. Thorough study of these problems and the results of the research led to a brief and clear information brochure for people suffering from chronic pancreatitis as the output of the activities. This manual should serve as a summary and specification of information, which the patient can read at home without fuss after being educated orally. With regard to the achievements of our work we would like to make this work and its results available to the nursing care public as much as possible. We hope that the results of our work will increase interest in this issue among professionals and will address further workers willing to participate in its solution

Communicative strategies of politicians in interaction.
Lokajová, Jana ; Šaldová, Pavlína (advisor) ; Klégr, Aleš (referee)
Abstract. The aim of this M.A. thesis is to apply on the sample of five transcribed interviews with American politicians the typology of strategies devised by social psychologists P. Bull and K. Mayer (1993) for 'non-replies' of British politicians in the genre of a political interview and to determine whether this typology could be qualitatively correlated to specific linguistic means (the use of passive, pronominal shifts, hedges). The responses of politicians are examined within the CDA method also in relation to the macro-principles of evasion (dissimulation), coercion, legitimation and delegitimation, which are claimed to be valid in political discourse by P. Chilton (2004) in order to discover whether Bull and Mayer's social typology could be related to these principles and to the strategies of face-management (Brown and Levinson 1987). It is expected that politicians will boost their positive image in the interview and coerce the public in the agenda shift (Clayman, Heritage 2002) through every response in the interview. A question which according to Bull and Elliott (1996) consists of face threat is also expected to be attacked; quantitative results are presented which verify this assumption. In addition, as thirty strategies were observed to have been employed by Mrs Thatcher and Neil Kinnock in...

Elder abuse and neglect
Haluzíková, Lenka ; Slaměník, Ivan (referee) ; Šulová, Lenka (advisor)
This thesis deals with the subject of elder abuse and neglect (EAN). The author in her theoretical part presents all sorts of aspects of the EAN phenomenon which is broadly interdisciplinary and whose definition and prevalence were not assessed yet. It describes exposures of single types of EAN and symptoms, whose knowledge is necessary for effective detection of particular cases of EAN. Hitherto most of the cases stay concealed because the victims tend to hide the abuse and simultaneously neither the community of specialists nor non-specialists have sufficient awareness about the problem in order to perceive it. In this course an education of the public is crucial but also the author deems necessary to change the attitude of all-society towards the elder people which at the present time seems quite discriminatory. Farther the author attends to a victim and an offender of EAN and their interaction, in this respect she presents risk factors and searches for potential causations of abuse. Detailed knowledge of these causations is crucial for suitable aiming of prevention. For a complex intervention of EAN would be ideal to create multidisciplinary teams of different specialists. But such teams are rather exception worldwide. Among these specialists a psychologist should be present as he can play an important...

Physical Appearance, Health and Fitness in Adult Population
Elhenický, Patrik ; Fialová, Ludmila (advisor) ; Potměšil, Jaroslav (referee)
The Title of the Thesis: Physical Appearance, Health and Fitness in Adult Population Aim: The aim is to process the data collected and present the results obtained in the adult population as refers to their body-concept and self-acceptance, in both, the physical and psychical areas. These above issues related both, to the population of men and women were compared, as well as differences found between people living in towns and rural regions. Methods: The data were collected through public inquiry using an instrument based on a standardized questionnaire, originally validated in the international research to sport, health and self-concept in Central and Eastern European countries (Mrázek, Fialová, Bychovskaja, 1995). The questionnaire included sections referring to personal data, health condition, physical and body-related activities, subjective body description, self-acceptance and selfconcept. The questionnaire included 129 items, where only those items referring to the selected topic were analyzed in the thesis. Results: The results indicate certain changes in evaluating the physical appearance, bodyconcept and self-concept in both, men and women. The results imply there is a difference in self-esteem perceived by men and women when evaluating their appearance, and, also, the body-concept and...

Prague coronation of king Matthias on 23rd may 1611 in the light of contemporary documents
Pařízková, Kateřina ; Holá, Mlada (advisor) ; Ebelová, Ivana (referee)
To the coronations which took place in Pre-White time, not enough attention has been paid yet. As it appears, enough accounts were preserved not only in contemporary prints but also in manuscript sources - in the works of chroniclers, in memories of persons present and above all in official and private correspondence. In addition to writen sources also material sorces and great part of iconographic sources have been preserved. The elaboration and evaluation of the sources to one of them, to the coronation of Matthias of Habsburg in Prague on May 23rd 1611, is a subject of the first half of this thesis. The coronation in the life of souvereign is a ceremony that generally certificates his leading position in the country. This ceremony customary is executed in accordance to the prede- terminated order. In case of the lands of Bohemian crown binding form has been set by coronation order of Bohemian kings Ordo ad coronandum Regem Bohemorum, prepared by Charles IV. The main core of this order was maintained also by Matthias coronation. His coronation in the cathedrale of Saint Vitus was a festive ceremony strongly influenced by then political situation. It placed under the strong protection of troops, excluding the general public, mostly ordinary people. Despite of it the ceromony was performed with...

Use of Interest Rate Models for Interest Rate Risk Management in the Czech Financial Market Environment
Cíchová Králová, Dana ; Arlt, Josef (advisor) ; Cipra, Tomáš (referee) ; Witzany, Jiří (referee)
The main goal of this thesis is to suggest an appropriate approach to interest rate risk modeling in the Czech financial market environment in various situations. Three distinct periods are analyzed. These periods, which are the period before the global financial crisis, period during the financial crisis and in the aftermath of the global financial crisis and calming subsequent debt crisis in the eurozone, are characterized by different evaluation of liquidity and credit risk, different relationship between financial variables and market participants and different degree of market regulations. Within this goal, an application of the BGM model in the Czech financial market environment is crucial. Use of the BGM model for the purpose of predicting a dynamics of a yield curve is not very common. This is firstly due to the fact that primary use of this model is a valuation of interest rate derivatives while ensuring the absence of arbitrage and secondly its application is relatively difficult. Nevertheless, I apply the BGM model to obtain predictions of the probability distributions of interest rates in the Czech and eurozone market environment, because its complexity, direct modeling of a yield curve based on market rates and especially a possibility of parameter estimation based on current swaptions volatilities quotations may lead to a significant improvement of predictions. This improvement was also confirmed in this thesis. Use of swaptions volatilities market quotations is especially useful in the period of unprecedented mone- tary easing and increased number of central banks and other regulators interventions into financial markets that occur after the financial crisis, because it reflects current market expectations which also include future interventions. As a consequence of underdevelopment of the Czech financial market there are no market quotations of Czech koruna denominated swaptions volatilities. I suggest their approximations based on quotations of euro denominated swaptions volatilities and also using volatilities of koruna and euro forward rates. Use of this approach ensures that predictions of the Czech yield curve dynamics contain current market expectations. To my knowledge, any other author has not presented similar application of the BGM model in the Czech financial market environment. In this thesis I further predict a Czech and Euro area money market yield curve dynamics using the CIR and the GP models as representatives of various types of interest rates models to compare these predictions with BGM predictions. I suggest a comprehensive system of three criteria, based on comparison of predicti- ons with reality, to describe a predictive power of selected models and an appropria- teness of their use in the Czech market environment during different situations in the market. This analysis shows that predictions of the Czech money market yield curve dynamics based on the BGM model demonstrate high predictive power and the best 8 quality in comparison with other models. GP model also produces relatively good qua- lity predictions. Conversely, predictions based on the CIR model as a representative of short rate model family completely failed when describing reality. In a situation when the economy allows negative rates and there is simultaneously a significant likelihood of their implementation, I recommend to obtain predictions of Czech money market yield curve dynamics using GP model which allows existence of negative interest rates. This analysis also contains a statistical test for validating the predictive power of each model and information on other tests. Berkowitz test rejects a hypothesis of accurate predictions for each model. However, this fact is common in real data testing even when using relatively good model. This fact is especially caused by difficult fulfilment of test conditions in real world. To my knowledge, such an analysis of the predictive power of selected interest rate models moreover in the Czech financial market environment has not been published yet. The last goal of this thesis is to suggest an appropriate approach to obtaining pre- dictions of Czech government bonds risk premium dynamics. I define this risk premium as a difference between government bond yields and fixed rate of CZK IRS with the same length. I apply the GP model to describe the dynamics of this indicator of the Czech Republic credit risk. In order to obtain a time series of the risk premium which are necessary for estimation of GP model parameters I firstly estimate yield curves of Czech government bonds using Svensson model for each trading day since 2005. Resulting si- mulations of risk premium show that the GP model predicts the real development of risk premiums of all maturities relatively well. Hence, the proposed approach is suitable for modeling of Czech Republic credit risk based on the use of information extracted from financial markets. I have not registered proposed approach to risk premium modeling moreover in the Czech financial market environment in other publications.

Socio-economic Development of small municipalities
Kovářová, Marcela ; Macháček, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Pělucha, Martin (referee)
This thesis focuses on the development tendency of small settlements in the Czech Republic. The goal of this thesis would be to determine the main factors that influence the position of these settlements in the whole system, and to valorize their economical possibilities in the environment of current economy. The local development factors that this thesis focuses on are the territorial amenities, employment and mobility. The methods that was used for processing the analysis are: the historical-geographical method, cartographic techniques, the expert method and the empiric investigation (questionnaire investigation). Age and educational structure of the population of rural municipalities were evaluated in terms of demographic projections and impact on the local labor market. The level of technical and public rural communities at a high level, which enhances the stabilization function of these residential areas. Grant programs current programming period 2007 - 2013 is one of access "top-down", which is largely based on the passive accepting of financial resources. Gradually begins to promote a modern approach that includes measures strengthening regional competitiveness, involving a broader range of actors.

Current problems concerning administration of uninsurable allowances at regional (district and municipal) office
Paikrová, Yvonna ; Tomeš, Igor (advisor) ; Víšek, Petr (referee)
The basic mission o f the state is to create the conditions for the stability and to regulate the social climate, to absorb the social tension and by the development o f social activities to stabilise the situation in the society in order to enable the social subjects fully develop, affect and realise their targets by their own forces. These efforts intend to establish the conditions for the social defensibility of the social reform and/or minimize its impacts. In order to assure this target, the state disposes by the wide system of legal, financial and institutional instruments. The aim o f this thesis is the global evaluation of the actual legislation on the security of the people in socially indisposed situation; this people enters under the application of the Act No 117/1995 Coll., on social state aid, Act No 108/2006, on social services, Act. No 110/2006 Coll. about the existential minimum and Act No 111/2006 Coll. on aid in material necessity. When I evaluated the practical problems with the realisation of these systems I have resulted from the experience o f the employees of the Employment office in Tábor and of the Department o f social affairs and public health o f the Office o f region South Bohemia. The state social aid is the integral part of the social state policy. The benefits of the state...
