Introduction of Supervision into Non-State Non-Profit Organizations in the Context of the Social Services Act.
BROŽOVÁ, Pavla
In the theoretical section the diploma thesis is focused on giving definitions of the terms a non-state non-profit organization and supervision. A great extent of attention is then paid to the introduction of supervision into organizations and obstacles that play an important role in this process. The aim of the research section of the thesis was to survey the current state of the introduction of supervision in non-state non-profit organizations providing social services in the South Bohemian Region. The first partial objective was to map the reasons for the introduction of supervision in these organizations. The other partial objective was to identify the obstacles preventing organizations from the introduction of supervision in their workplaces. To conduct the research of the thesis, the qualitative research was chosen, the interviewing method, the technique of semi-conducted interviews The research group consisted of directors or managing directors of non-state non-profit organizations providing social services, and their employees. From the results it is evident that the effectiveness of the Act on Social Services, i.e. also of the Standards of quality of social services, is not the only reason for the introduction of supervision. According to the answers of addressed respondents, there are much more reasons for this measure. Understanding the reasons for the introduction of supervision, however, is different in the management of an organizations and in its employees. The research has also shown that the lack of funds is the major obstacle in implementing supervision into non-state non-profit organizations that provide social services. The author proposes possible solutions to this problem in the discussion. This thesis may be the basis for the introduction of supervision in organizations where it is not used yet. The work can contribute to facilitate the introduction of supervision into organizations providing social services because individual obstacles have been detected and described. Furthermore, this work could be beneficial for students and the staff of helping professions.

Yakovleva, Yuliya ; Procházka, Petr (advisor) ; Václav, Václav (referee)
The relevance of the study of this topic is that nowadyas TNC is one of the main structural elements of the economies of most countries, as well as the driving force of its development. To improve the efficiency of the Russian economy and the sustainability of its development is necessary to evaluate the potential of domestic companies and to develop recommendations for the exit to the transnational level. The problem is that methodological universal basis for evaluating the potential of transnationalization companies do not exist. In this regard, the phenomenon of transnational corporations and transnationalization problems require further study. The goal of this study is to develop a methodology to evaluate the potential of transnationalization of Russian companies on the example JSC "Transneft", in other words, the potential of entering to the foreign markets. The object of the study will be transnational corporations, and the subject of research will be Russian companies that have the potential of transnationalization. From the goal arise the following tasks: - to study the phenomenon, the concept and essence of transnational corporations; - to explore the history of the emergence and development of TNCs; - to evaluate the place, role and development tendencies of TNCs in the world economy; - to characterize the sources of effective activities of transnational corporations; - to evaluate key performance indicators TNCs; - to identify the role of TNCs in the economy of Russia; - to learn the specifics of transnationalization of modern Russian companies; - to identify the most important factors in evaluating the potential of transnationalization companies; - to develop a methodology to evaluate the potential of transnationalization companies ; - to develop the recommendations for Russian companies on the example JSC "Transneft" for increasing the potential of transnationalization.
The hypothesis of this study is that JSC "Transneft" have the potential to enter to the transnational level and necessary facilities for its implementation.

The role of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT in agricultural sector of Bosnia and Herzegovina)
Franěk, Václav ; Kandakov, Alexander (advisor) ; Hes, Tomáš (referee)
Bosnia and Herzegovina is one of the poorest countries in Europe. Agriculture was in the 1990s as well as the whole country devastated by war conflict and needed the necessary transformation. Information and communication technologies (ICT) can help with faster development of agriculture in rural areas of the country, improving the competitiveness of small farmers, on which stands the whole agriculture of Bosnia and Herzegovina and, ultimately, improving its competitiveness in the international market. The aim of my thesis was deeper search analysis of literary sources in the context of the use of information and communication technologies in the agricultural sector of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Using information and communication technologies in agriculture may be then justified by the increasing consumption of food or expanding coverage for mobile phones and expansion of the Internet connection. However, Internet penetration in rural areas of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which stand on agriculture, is not on high level. But the actions of the government and local authorities are gradually moving towards rural development by using information and communication technologies, for example by introducing faster 3G Internet. Small farmers are also the most vulnerable to changes of food prices, in which can be information and communication technologies also helpful. The most important recommendation and conclusion would be using rather mobile devices instead of desktop computers or laptops.

Role and motivation of volunteers in development projects: A case study of Czech volunteers
Pantůčková, Monika ; Chaloupková, Petra (advisor) ; Tereza, Tereza (referee)
Motivation is a key factor influencing an individual to become a volunteer. This study examines the motivation Czech volunteers to work on development projects, based on data obtained from the survey and scientific articles. The survey was conducted on 80 Czech volunteers from various Czech NGOs, 40 out of 80 were volunteers working for Kintari organization in Indonesia. The main motivation for volunteering were divided into five sections according to orientation; altruism, culture, philanthropy, traveling and socializing. Differences were identified among respondents when Kintari volunteers chose culture and travel, which is closely related to their length of stay, while volunteers from other Czech NGOs selected altruism and philanthropy. Subsequently, based on the test of factor analysis (FA) was created a domains consisting of the items questionnaire. In the statistical measurements and indicators were using factor analysis which was deemed appropriate, and Cronbach's alpha coefficient, which verified the estimate of the level of internal consistency and Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin measurement to determine the suitability of the selected data. The calculation used t-test for socio-demographic attributes excluded the thesis that females are more altruistically motivated than males. Respondents confirmed altruistic and egoistic gain experience from volunteering, including the development of communication skills, stress management, development of empathic skills, understanding of the local community, opportunities to participate in social events, work in a multicultural team and the ability to be part of social groups. Kintari volunteers cause on the project preferentially associate with opportunities to experience the culture and travel, while other volunteers from the Czech NGOs travelled mainly due to work and own education, which is closely related to the fact that they had more previous experience from other projects. The general rule confirmed that a shorter stay affects more altruism, socialization and desire to travel. As an area of weakness, Kintari volunteers market communication and cooperation with the management organization (missing feedback), and insufficient provision of educational aids.

The role of OGRPA with a focus on agricultural property
Jüttnerová, Marcela ; Mráčková, Jitka (advisor) ; Václav, Václav (referee)
This thesis defines the position of the Office of Government Representation in Property Affairs within state organizations, organizational units and state-owned enterprises and the special role assigned to each entity that is not included in the duties of any other government department or organization. At the same time, the thesis deals with the specifics of the handling of agricultural state property. The work is divided into two parts. The theoretical part defines and analyzes the key concepts and existing regulations for the management of state assets within the scope of the Act no. 219/2000 Coll., on the property of the Czech Republic and the state's representation in legal relations. The practical part is about the process of evaluating the management of state property from acquisition to final implementation focusing on the specifics of agricultural property. The conclusion of this thesis presents perceptions, knowledge and general issues in the processed work and related to the topic. The thesis represents personal opinion resulting from my own experience and may differ from the general standards and practices.

Size Dependence of Reactive Uptake Coefficient in Chemical Reactions on Aerosol Nanoparticles
Levdansky, Valerij Vladimirovič ; Smolík, Jiří ; Ždímal, Vladimír ; Moravec, Pavel
Chemical reactions in aerosol systems play a significant role in formation of new aerosol particles and their growth in the atmosphere and in various areas of nanotechnology. In the case of nanoscale aerosol particle the size effects can sufficiently affect the rate of chemical reactions both inside the particle and on its surface. The size dependence of a chemical reaction occurring on the nanoparticle surface can be related to the size dependence of the intrinsic activation energy for a chemical reaction and the adsorption kinetics of reactant molecules. Here we consider some aspects of the possible influence of the mentioned effects on the reactive uptake coefficient in the Eley-Rideal mechanism of a chemical reaction.

Public opinion on the role of churches in the society and on the restitution of church property
Ďurďovič, Martin
September's survey of CVVM comprised a question regarding the role of church in the society and a set of questions concerning the topic of church restitution. On the one hand, the presented press release contains information on to what extent citizens are interested in the problem of church restitution and to what extent they agree with the current proposal of property compensations toward churches. On the other hand, it analyses in detail, what is the public opinion on the range of these compensations and it also follows up, what attitudes citizens take toward different key aspects of church restitution, as they unfolded in the existing debate. It turned out that Czechs consider churches to be desirable most importantly for granting of spiritual support to people and for performing of charity. But only about one sixth of the public subscribes to the current proposal of church property compensations.

The Role of Scientometric Criteria in the Formation of Budget and Qualification Growth at Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice, the Slovak Republic
Černák, Juraj
Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice, according to the number of its students (approx. 8,700), belongs to the group of smaller-size public universities in Slovakia. The major part of its budget income (approx. two thirds) comes from a direct state subsidy. The subsidy amount is defined by the Methodology of the Ministry of Education, Science, Research and Sport of the Slovak Republic that is modified yearly. This Methodology uses various input data that are related to research activities of a university, the results of the last complex evaluation, the amount of financial resources obtained from home grant agencies and from abroad, as well as the publications of lecturers, research staff and students of a university, etc. The amount of publications as a scientometric criterion was for the first time used in 2005 and since then its proportional representation has risen substantially and it represents a strong motivational aspect for universities in Slovakia. The number of publications also plays important role in the qualification growth of P. J. Šafárik University lecturers and research staff. The specific requirements as to the categories and numbers of publications to be met by a candidate for the habilitation (associate professor status) and inauguration (full professor status) are defined by several legislative documents and are further specified by the documents approved by the Scientific Board of the University. The qualification growth of lecturers is also important for the University as it has its influence on the amount of the direct state subsidy. The presentation will focus on the importance of the publication activities as one of the scientific criterion relevant to the research and scientific activities of the University and the methods of publication registration by the Ministry and the University, their strengths and weaknesses will be discussed.

Ethics of auditors in practice
SVOJŠOVÁ, Pavlína
In my thesis I evaluated and assessed the activities of auditors in relation to the ethics of behavior in terms of legislation of the Czech Republic. I focused on the published cases of misconduct of auditors and the subsequent punitive sanctions. Ethical behavior is the basis for the auditor's professionalism. In connection with the accounting scandals and falsification of accounting and audit reports, the public began to discuss - among other things - auditors' liability for fraud detection leading to distorted accounts of the entities and the principles of ethical behavior started to get into the spotlight of auditors?, which was later enshrined in legal and professional standards including Code of Ethics of the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC). Expectations of many users of financial statements from the auditor's report are too high and usually go up beyond what the auditor can actually verify and confirm. However, it must be acknowledged that not all auditors are sufficiently aware of their responsibilities in relation to the distortion of financial statements due to fraud or misconduct, and adequately adapt their audit procedures due to them. Certainly worth mentioning is the most visible impact of accounting scandals in the accounting and auditing profession - the fall of Arthur Andersen, one of the former "Big Five" auditing firms. Accounting profession has responded by developing and tightening ethical standards with an emphasis on the conduct of professional accountants in the public interest, not only in the interests of individual clients or employers. The role of audit in society is irreplaceable. Quality of the audits undertaken, however, ultimately depends on the auditor's discipline and education, the control of the Council Chamber and also public oversight of auditing, as well as pressure of the users of financial statements and of the representatives on the appropriateness and quality of outputs. Ethics in the auditor's work and its compliance in life are the things that determine auditor?s reputation.
