Analysis of real and nominal convergence of the Visegrad Group in the years 2000-2015
Wikturna, Jan ; Strejček, Ivo (advisor) ; Zamrazilová, Eva (referee)
This Bachelor thesis is focused on a macroeconomic analysis of the process of the real and nominal convergence of the Visegrad Group countries to the old member states of the European Union, called EU-15 during the period of 2000-2015. The objective of the analysis is to confirm or disprove the hypothesis that in the selected period there is a convergence of the economically backward V4 countries with the advanced EU-15 countries and to highlight the factors that are behind the narrowing of the gap in economics and price levels. The theoretical part deals with the ways in which we measure and compare the economic performance and economic level, and explains the different approaches of the problem of economic growth and the subsequent catching up effect. The practical part is focused on a comparison of elected macroeconomic indicators and reference is made to the selected factors to determine whether, and for what reasons, the economic convergence of these selected countries made towards the developed countries of the EU-15. The analytical part confirms the ongoing process of the real and nominal convergence throughout the period, but its course is varied during different times of the period. In conclusion, it is found that the rate varied by the convergence processes and in fact positively affected the V4 countries, that joined the European Union. The incoming dynamics of the convergence, especially the prices, were significantly disrupted by the economic crisis.

Tea consumption has been designed especially for the higher classes of the population, chocolate bought mostly white-collar family, but over twenties speared consumption of chocolate products also among the middle and lower classes into the population. The chocolate products were subject to early 20s of the luxury tax. Cocoa was used in connection with cooking and baking, but families didnt use this product frequently. Coffee drank all layers of the population, but consumption was based on the social status of the consumer. Very frequently families consume rye coffee and chicory coffee.

In a short period of time the Tea Party became a significant political force that endorsed many successful candidates in 2010 midterm elections and put pressure on established political parties to follow the will of the people. This thesis, written primarily as a political affairs analysis, examines origins of this grassroots movement and its impact on American politics.

Skála - Rosenbaum, Jiří ; Bartoníček, Jan (advisor) ; Chomiak, Jiří (referee) ; Janeček, Miloš (referee)
The study examines the monocentric epidemiological data of patients with hip fractures from 1997-2007. Adult patients treated for hip fracture between the years 1997-2007 were included in the study. Retrospective statistical assessment of continually gathered data focused on epidemiology and demographics. The second part of the study was concerned on risk factors on protrusion of hemiarthroplasty into the acetabulum. The goal was to specify exact indication, proper operative technique and selection of the implant. The study involved 3 683 patients (2 678 women, 1 005 men). Patients older than 70 years accounted for 82 % of all cases. There was an increase in the number of hip fractures resulting in a significant increase in pertrochanteric fractures (AO-31A1+2) (p<0.001). The ratio of trochanteric to neck hip fractures increased from 0.99 to 1.53. Continual monitoring of patients with hip fracture offers data which allows comparisons between regions and countries. The importace of a continual increase in the number of hip fractures has its importance in macroeconomical planning in traumatology. Hemiarthroplasty was conversed to total hip arthroplasty in 12 patients in our department. The indication, time period to conversion and hemiarthroplasty position were retrospectively assessed. The direction of...

Josef Herscher. The Secret of His Coming and Working in the West Bohemia in the Baroque period
Jirmusová, Kristýna ; Zlatohlávek, Martin (advisor) ; Bukačová, Irena (referee)
135 Summary This study deals with Josef Herscher, a sculptor of the late baroque period, who worked in West Bohemia. The first notice about his presence there comes from 1720, other apper during the next years till 1756 when Herscher died. During that time ruled in Manětín Marie Gabriela Lažanská, who wanted to increase the fame of the city. In 1719 died another sculptor, Štěpán Borovec, who had worked in Manětín before Josef Herscher. He is the author of e.g. The Trinity Statue on the main square. It is said, that the statue was finished by Borovec's son Václav Borovec. We assume, that Václav Borovec could have helped Josef Herscher in his workroom and could have been one of Herscher's journeymen. Štěpán Borovec studied in Prague in the workroom of Jan Brokof. We know from the teaching-paper, that he was educated there. Statues of Saints by Josef Herscher have many common features with these by Ferdinand Maxmilián Brokof. This study compares them with St. Elizabeth, St. John of Nepomuk, Holy Virgin and many others. It seems, Josef Herscher knew the production of Brokof's workroom from the beginning of the 18th century to the late twenties of this century. He used the whole composition of particular statues as so as small details from their faces or gesticulation, which he adapted according to his own...
