Captive insurance
Ambrosová, Simona ; Ducháčková, Eva (advisor) ; Rybák, Zdeněk (referee)
This thesis has as its main goal the objective analysis of the potential for captive insurance risk management in specific situations and market analysis of captive insurance. It uses a description of the history and development of this sector, addressing the advantages and disadvantages, which helps to reflect on the usefulness of this tool. Furthermore, the analysis of that market, location options of captive insurance companies and types of captives are described here as well. A large part of this work is the concept of the life cycle of captive insurance companies. It contains general conditions that are necessary for the creation of captive insurance companies. Finally, the thesis deals with trends, provides a view of the future and present regulation of the sector.

Algebraically special spacetimes in higher dimensions
Ducháček, Petr ; Pravda, Vojtěch (advisor) ; Žofka, Martin (referee)
In this thesis I show known solutions of Einstein's equations and I am trying to find if some of these solutions solve equations of quadratic gravity. I also show summary of decomposition of basic tensors in four and higher dimensions. I look in detail at Einstein spaces, null radiation and Kundt spacetimes. I also show other equations for relativity in higher dimensions. I come to equations that Einstein spaces and null radiation must satisfy in order to solve quadratic gravity. I also lay down the conditions that Kundt spacetimes must satisfy in order to be of certain Ricci type and Weyl type which is necessary to find new solutions of quadratic gravity.

Reflection of travels in the Zdeněk Matěj Kuděj's writing
Křenová, Kateřina ; Vaněk, Václav (advisor) ; Menclová, Věra (referee)
This diplom a thesis has two goals. One of them is to bring a compact biography of the Czech writer Zdeněk Matěj Kuděj (1881 - 1951), one of the representatives of modernism and a c10se friend to the writer Jaroslav Hašek. Despite intensive search I was not able to get any record or evidence of the whole Kudějs life. In the second part, the thesis covers the part of his work which was influenced by his travels, primarily those which took him outside Bohemia. Between years 1903 - 1909 he traveled the USA. He lived as a tramp and made his living as a casual worker. Experiences from this period were later described in couple of his books. In 1913 he spent almost a year in a prison of the tsarist Russia. Also this experience was reflected in his work.

Foreigners on Czech labor market
Votrubová, Klára ; Poláková, Olga (advisor) ; Lapáček, Michal (referee)
This work's intention is to capture the most important immigratory movements to the Czech Republic especially in relationship with participation of foreigners at Czech labor market. First it attends to phenomena of migration from common view in context with legislative set-up of chosen problems and with present state of migration politics in the Czech Republic. Last but not least it attends to history, trends and general reasons of migration. From this viewpoint it summarizes theoretical knowledge and other information relevant to immigration problems and it briefly characterizes significant causes of migration which are not directly related to labor market. Analytic part deals with possibilities of labor use of foreigners in the Czech Republic. It results from the analysis of present situation and from labor market's needs and it examines possibilities and conditions of foreigners who are labor market's part - it focuses at the most frequently immigrating national groups including detailed analysis of Vietnamese community. This work also characterizes possible future impact of present inflow of foreigners to Czech republic's labor market. The summary of diploma work synthesizes acquired findings, exposes the most severe problems and suggests selected possibilities of their solution.

The analysis of the influence of risks on economic efficiency of wind-power plants in the Czech republic
Khorel, Tomáš ; Geuss, Erik (advisor) ; Knápek, Jaroslav (referee)
The work focuses on wind-power energetics area in the Czech republic. On the basis of a set referential project, which is typical for current Czech conditions, it intends to answer two key questions. The first one deals with risk and inquires into how critical individual factors are. For this purpose financial analysis and especially sensitivity analysis are used. The other issue solved in this work is detection of economic efficiency of the referential project. The output is based on the prediction of the critical factors.

Transdermal electroporation of cyclosporine I.
Pavlík, Bohumil ; Doležal, Pavel (advisor) ; Musilová, Marie (referee)
Rigorosal Thesis 2006, Bohumil Pavlík Abstract Effective topical application of cyclosporine is considered to be therapeutically important in the treatment of psoriasis, however, it is complicated by barrier properties of cornified skin layers. Potentially promising approach to solving this problem is to use electroporation. Thesis provides a basic overview of the current state of knowledge in the field of transdermal electroporation. The experiment focuses on penetration testing of cyclosporine in the two pulse protocols. The difference between the application of two or ten rectangular pulses of 10ms duration at time 0 and 6 hours, at a distance of 30 seconds and the voltage pulse 450 is reflected only in the period up to 2 hours from the start of permeation, long-term effect was demonstrated. When verifying the importance of arrangement of electrodes there was no difference between the type of needle-and needle arrangement with a flat surface electrode observed.

Solving over-constrained problems
Kasl, Tomáš ; Barták, Roman (advisor) ; Zlomek, Josef (referee)
Constraint hierarchies belong to techniques for solving over-constrained problems, that is, constraint satisfaction problems where it is not possible to satisfy all the constraints. The idea of constraint hierarchy is to label each constraint by a preference level describing how much the constraint should be satisfied. Currently, there exist two classes of constraint hierarchy solvers: local propagation solvers that can handle more or less equality constraints only and refining solvers that are a bit cumbersome and non-incremental. The theoretical framework of constraint hierarchy solvers combines advantages of both above mentioned classes but no algorithm exploiting the power of this framework has been proposed so far. The thesis describes a new algorithm for solving constraint hierarchies based on this framework.

Contractual freedom versus protection of employees
Kotula, Tomáš ; Hůrka, Petr (advisor) ; Lang, Roman (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with the problematics of the contractual freedom and the protection of employees in labour law relations and the concept of flexicurity which seeks to find balance between these two opposing notions. Its main objective is to evaluate the applicable Czech legislation regulating formation and termination of an employment relationship from the view of flexicurity, including by proposing possible changes of legal instruments within the framework of reflections de lege ferenda. The first part characterizes the contemporary Czech labour law legislation and the concept of flexicurity, followed by its reflection into the Czech Labour Code. This part concludes with an introduction of successful flexicurity models. The following part analyses both development and understanding of flexicurity at European level with the focus on impacts of EU strategy for the Member States. The key parts of this thesis are parts number three and four which deal with the legislation regulating formation and termination of the employment relationship in the Czech Republic. In these parts, relevant legal instruments are first defined and then evaluated with respect to their flexibility and security. The third part defines the course of formation of the employment relationship, particularly on the basis...
