Institucionální příčiny rozdílného ekonomického vývoje ve Spolkové republice Německo
Matějek, Petr
Diploma thesis aims to identify the potential causes of different economic development in the federal republic of Germany with a focus on institutions and determine how these differences on economic performance possibly involved. It mainly focuses on the period between 1991 and 2013. Differences in the institutional environment between the regions of Germany are examined through several informal institutions. For the quantification of the influence of informal institutions on economic performance is used correlation and regression analysis. To determine the different influence of informal institutions between regions are the achieved results for both regions compared. The results pointed to some differences in the influence of informal institutions.

Creep Behaviour of Aluminium after Severe Plastic Deformation (ECAP)
Král, Petr ; Dvořák, Jiří ; Svoboda, Milan ; Sklenička, Václav
In this work the behaviour of ECAP aluminium with different number of passes at the creep tests was studied. The data indicated that an increase fraction of high angle boundaries has a strong effect on the creep properties of ECAP aluminium which can be explained by extensive grain boundary sliding contributing to the total creep deformation. However, the samples of ECAP aluminium with the identical number of ECAP passes showed significant differences of creep properties. The observed scatter in the creep behaviour is probably a direct consequence of different microstructures in the as-pressed state after ECAP.

Finanční ohodnocení krásy krajiny - metoda CVM
Cudlínová, Eva ; Lapka, Miloslav
Evaluation of landscape amenity is not very common and relatively difficult from the economic point of view. In our case study focused on comparing aesthetic preferences of Czech and Japan respondents regarding rural landscape. We used the contingent valuation method. We also wanted to reveal the respondent’s preferences in a financial form. These preferences served us as quantitative indicator for an attestation of the respondent’s qualitative preferences. It seemed that a strong correlation between the aesthetical and financial evaluation exist in two extreme cases – respondents were not interested, or they were strongly involved in landscape amenity. A substantial difference occured between the Czech and Japanese respondents in the case of case of open or closed access to the landscape.

CFD Simulation of Turbocharger Regulating Mechanism
Drdla, Adam ; Vančura, Jan (referee) ; Svída, David (advisor)
The aim of this thesis is to provide research into turbocharger regulation, and analyze the force load of vanes in the VNT mechanism of Garrett turbocharger by CFD simulation. In the thesis there is one model with two different mesh densities. It describes the relevance of supercharging vehicle engines and the kinds of supercharging aggregates in the introduction. Then, the thesis is divided into two chapters. The first chapter provides research, describing primary principle of supercharging, turbocharger construction and kinds of air regulation. The practical part of the thesis solves the force load of VNT mechanisms. It was necessary to optimalize the 3D Garrett turbocharger model, create two meshes with different element densities, specify boundary conditions and analyse the results of both cases. A general description of solved problems, comparison of results of force load vanes and propose simplifying and verifying the CFD calculation are included in the conclusion.

The Effect of System of Financial Reporting on Financial Performance of Business Corporation
Prokešová, Gabriela ; Strouhal, Jiří (advisor) ; Roubíčková, Jaroslava (referee)
This thesis deals with the effect of system of financial reporting on financial performance of business corporation. Czech accounting regulations and International financial reporting standards are compared within the framework of system of financial reporting. The effect on financial performance is then analysed through financial analysis. In theoretical-methodological part the terminology, approaches and methods used in individual systems are defined and then comparative analysis is performed. Theoretical definition of financial analysis follows and then basic information about business corporation is mentioned, which begins the practical part. Then financial analysis of the firm is performed whereas data are analysed separately for every system. The purpose of this thesis is to point out different values of indicators of financial analysis coming from differences of analysed systems of financial reporting through concrete business corporation and to explain their cause.

Primary School Teacher - the Relationship Between Theory and Practice in the Professional Training
Urbanová, Radka ; Štech, Stanislav (advisor) ; Smetáčková, Irena (referee)
This work deals with permanent and yet actual subject of the relationship of theory and practise in education of teachers. The main subject is connected closely to professional identity of primary school teachers, as well. First of all, the theoretical part of this work focuses on the relationship of theory and practise. It's based on works of both Czech and foreign authors, specifically German and Swiss ones. Because there are different systems of teacher-preparation in these countries, the view on theory-practise relationship is different in many points, as well. Theoretical part is divided into five chapters. First one presents primary school teacher and shows his typical features which differentiate him from teachers in another levels of education. The second chapter describes a concept of pedagogical education of teachers. The third chapter deals with how differently may concept "practise" be percieved in context of their mutual relationship. The fourth chapter describes the relationship of theory and practise in pedagogy and the last, fifth one is the most comprehensive one and is further divided into three chapters.

Differences between men and women in the Czech labour market
Stroukal, Dominik ; Kadeřábková, Božena (advisor) ; Pavelka, Tomáš (referee) ; Němec, Otakar (referee)
This thesis consists of five articles that apply current world research on labor economics at the Czech Republic and confirms the significant differences between men and women in this market. It shows that gender has a significant influence on the preference on the labor market and, consequently, on employment and health. First, the thesis shows that preferences are relevant determinant of career and then we study the difference in preference of salary for men and women. Subsequently it shows that gender plays a significant role in explaining the relationship between homeownership, and unemployment, as well as unemployment and health. The first chapter was able to demonstrate that the preference for a career has a positive influence on the choice of career. The influence of higher education on prioritizing career proved to be positive and significant. Probability of a career choice is reduced by the presence of children, however, is not dependent on their number, which is contrary to the theory of preferences. The second chapter shows that Czech women prefer more non-monetary rewards than men. It has also been shown that people with university education are same in the preferences of non-monetary rewards regardless of the gender of the respondents, however, compared to the world's research, the Czech higher education increases this preference. It turned out that women prefer risk less than men. The third chapter demonstrates that although the housing market undermines labor mobility and employment in the Czech Republic at the regional level, therefore, that in regions with a higher rate of home ownership is higher unemployment, at the individual level, the owners of housing are unemployed are less likely. The estimates are significantly different for men and women. Men living in owner-occupied housing have a higher likelihood of employment than women. At regional level, however, this thesis shows that the high rate of home ownership increases unemployment for both men and women, in the long run only to women. The fourth chapter showed that men transition to homeownership reduces the likelihood of unemployment next year. For women, this relationship has proved to be insignificant. In addition, as insignificant showed the opposite relationship, the transition from unemployment to the newly acquired home ownership. The last chapter shows that the change in the working status to unemployment will increase in the future probability of worse health. Influence in less than two years, however, proved to be significant. An important conclusion is that men have a significantly stronger relationship between health and unemployment than women.

Speech-signal-based recognition of type of transmission channel
Kopřiva, Tomáš ; Burget, Radim (referee) ; Atassi, Hicham (advisor)
This work deals with the classification of five different transmission channels by speech signal processing. The channels considered are: GSM, two PSTN channels and two VoIP channels. For the training and testing purposes, a speech database for the transmission channels called SPLAB_TranCh was constructed. The speech signals of this corpus originally come from well-known TIMIT database, where each utterance passed through each mentioned transmission channel. The main objective of this work is to find optimal features and classification accuracy that yield best classification accuracy. Several types of features, including MFCC, LPCC and spectral characteristics were put under examination. The best suprasegmental features were identified by using mRMR algorithm. Several classifiers were tested as well. The results suggested that the classification of transmission channel can be performed with high accuracy (around 90 %). Influence of adverse effects, which can occur during transmission, is also examined. Considered types of distortions are: saturation, thresholding, echo, crackling noises and different colors of noises and filters.
