Pecková, Tereza ; Lukášová, Tereza (advisor) ; Bartůsková, Lucia (referee)
This bachelor´s thesis analyzes the basic funds of health insurance companies for the period 2000 - 2015 in the Czech Republic, especially the creation of resources and their use and the entire system of public health insurance in the Czech Republic. Basic funds are one of the components of the overall economy of health insurance companies. First it is necessary to describe the market of the insured. The insured create and use the finances within public health insurance. Also important are contributions from the state budget for those insured by the state. We can conclude that the cost of health insurance companies are rising and that population is aging in the Czech Republic. However, this is not a balanced linear growth. The number of pensioners grew at a slower rate of growth, but according to population development forecast, there should be faster growth in the number of pensioners in the following years. Significant growth in cost is particularly noticeable in the age category of 80 and above, and increasingly more people should live up to this blessed age, also thanks to modern public health.

The Value of CSR for Czech Consumers
Faradji, Elise ; Štěrbová, Ludmila (advisor) ; Seror, Patricia (referee)
Nowadays consumers purchasing behavior is influenced by new factors such as the social and environmental implication of companies. This is why Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a growing trend which companies need to look after carefully. However implementing an efficient CSR strategy is a complex process for corporations; especially since the core concept of CSR remain quite blurry. The goal of this study is to analyze the perception of consumers towards CSR to find out about the value creation that CSR produce for consumers and its impact on their purchasing behavior. This paper will ultimately help companies to implement their CSR strategy more efficiently. This study aims to contribute by conducting an in-depth analysis of consumers attitudes and behavior towards CSR. If most of researchers are using a quantitative approach this study means to deal with the issue with a qualitative perspective. Indeed twelve semi-structured interviews will support the findings. On top of those practical and physical interviews some theoretical knowledge will be added to the construction of the argument especially to bring a framework that shows the importance of all types of value creation (functional emotional and social). The findings of the thesis emphasize the facts already proven by other researchers; value creation is fundamental to make consumers care about CSR. However the study will show how much skepticism towards CSR can impact negatively consumers purchasing behavior. The research will help companies implementing more successful CSR strategy and develop new solutions to reach customers and influence their purchasing behavior through the creation of value for them.

Building and use of smaller computer networks
Kyzivát, Marek ; Pinkas, Otakar (advisor) ; Šmejkal, Ivo (referee)
The thesis describes the initial state of the computer network Basic Schools and Kindergartens Ohradní (ZŠMŠ Ohradní) in Prague 4 and then its reconstruction, which I largely contributed. ZŠMŠ Ohradní consists of four pavilions and from one building on the other side of the street. The aim of this study is to assess the initial state of the network and point out the shortcomings that we discovered. We found deficiencies in the operation stress tests, measurements and data cabling overall analysis. Original networks connectivity was 100Mb/s. Together with a colleague, we are network administrators. Furthermore, I am going to introduce a new form of network, which has identified deficiencies improved, by using on newer technologies. I will describe its structure, address allocation, active and passive components, and operated services. New network is capable of 1Gb/s, and its spine is going to be 10Gb/s soon. Benefits of this reconstruction is faster, more stable and more modern network that will facilitate the work of employees of ZŠMŠ Ohradní. To these improvements, I have mainly contributed by measurements. I participated in the design and implementation of new form of data network. I collaborated with fellow Poc to the configuration of active elements and network services in reconstructed network.

Výběr a implementace open source nástroje pro řízení portfolia projektů
Marek, Jan ; Chlapek, Dušan (advisor) ; Kučera, Jan (referee)
Methods and ways of implementation of changes and innovations in companies through project management are in today's society very well established. There exists methodologies, techniques and tools for the management of individual projects. However in a role of project manager, I very often faced the fact that companies are performing the project portfolio management in very intuitive way. This in itself leads to failed and prematurely terminated projects, initiation of the wrong projects or realisation of correct projects, but at the wrong time. Very often I have also recognized, that there is lack of awareness of fact, that there are also Open Source applications that can help with the organization's portfolio. This thesis deals with the definition of requirements, search and selection of proper OSS application and subsequent implementation. In the first part of this thesis I prepare a theoretical framework about PPM, and on that basis then identify and verify a set of requirements for selection of right OSS PPM application. The next section of thesis describes searching for suitable applications from a variety of sources, assessment against the requirements and the final selection. In the last part the implementation project is drafted, which aims to serve other colleagues in project management as one of the possible implementation paths. The outputs are then continuously confronted with experts in matter of projects and project management in the field of IT in order to maximize symbiosis between theory and real life experiences. Virtually every project management methodology defines the collection of already-proven techniques, best practices or lessons learned from the previous similar implementations. The main contribution of this thesis I see in fact that it contains not only the design of the project implementation, but also describes a logical path, what leads to the result. Therefore this thesis could be used as a base or discussed best practice, when a project of implementation of PPM application in place.

The attitudes of today's young women to abortion
VYSKOČILOVÁ, Tereza
Nowadays, the issue of abortion poses an ethical problem and the society is divided into two camps whose opinions vary considerably. On the one hand there are those who support the right to abortion, and on the other hand there are antiabortionists who believe that already at the moment of conception, a human individual who has the right to life is starting to form, and they consider abortion murder. The thesis is divided into two parts, the first one being a theoretical part organized into chapters that cover the definitions of basic terms, the differentiation between various types of abortion, abortion methods, abortion risks, mental problems related to abortion, possible reasons for abortion, ways of dealing with an unwanted pregnancy, start of a human life, legislation, right to life, the way different religions approach the issue of abortion, abortions in the world, the history of abortions in the Czech Republic up to the present time, and the divergence of opinions on abortion based on movements which support abortion or fight against it. The first aim of this bachelor thesis was to ascertain what attitude young women have to abortion. The aim served as the basis of the following research question: What attitude do present-day young women have to abortion? The second aim was to ascertain the most frequent reasons for abortion. The aim served as the basis of the following research question: What are the most frequent reasons for abortion? A qualitative research method by means of semi-structured interviews was used. The data were collected in the period from November 2013 to April 2014. The research group comprised 15 respondents who were divided into three groups based on their experience with abortion. Group A consisted of young women with no experience with abortion. Group B consisted of young women with personal experience with abortion, and group C consisted of women who had experience with abortion, abortion committee and what impact the procedure had on their lives. The data were taken down by means of audio recording or in written form, and the results were subsequently transcribed. The data were then coded so that it would be easier to find the main semantic categories. Quotations of the respondents were used in the process of interpreting the data. The research questions were processed individually for every group and the results of every group were summarized at the end of the research. The research revealed that the attitude of young women to abortion is mostly positive. Nine of the respondents also believe that it is the right of every woman to decide whether to have an abortion or to bring her child into the world. Three of the respondents expressed the contrary opinion; one of them expressed a strictly negative stance, she would not allow abortion under any circumstances. Three other respondents hold a neutral attitude to the issue in general and they agree with the respondents who expressed a positive attitude, that every woman considering abortion should have the freedom of choice. The answers to the question about the most frequent reasons for abortion show that the most frequent reason is a health issue. This reason was given by nine of the respondents. Another reason given by 8 of the respondents was social issues, including financial difficulties and inability to provide for the family. The third most often mentioned reason was unpreparedness for pregnancy, including not being mature enough to be a parent. This reason was registered in 3 respondents. The research results show that it is necessary to pay more attention to this issue, so that all women are well informed and able to form their own attitude and opinion regarding this issue. This bachelor thesis could contribute to a better awareness among women interested in this topic, as well as a source of information for midwives and as a study material for students of midwifery.
