ELECTRE methods: theory and applications
Pieter, Michal ; Jablonský, Josef (advisor) ; Fiala, Petr (referee)
Multiple-criteria decision-making (MCDM) is a field of decision theory concerned with analyzing discrete sets of variables evaluated by multiple criteria. Facilitating decisions in such situations are several methods, among them a family known as ELECTRE. Using threshold values and the concept of outranking, they allow for improved modeling of the uncertain nature of real systems. This thesis sets out to describe all of the basic ELECTRE methods, as well as several of their modifications and further extensions and aims to do so with a sufficient level of detail and using precise mathematical language. It also presents key applications of said methods and reviews their implementation in software. Lastly, it introduces a brand new software, ELIA, developed as a part of the thesis. It allows users to solve practical problems using four of the basic ELECTRE methods.

Currciculum of foreign language for special purpose at universities with economic focus – the theory and practice
Jeřábková, Petra ; Hlavičková, Vlasta (advisor) ; Höppnerová, Věra (referee) ; Houska, Leoš (referee)
The knowledge of foreign languages has always been inseparable part of education and a part of spiritual wealth of every human being. At present, it also becomes one of the conditions for employment and success of university graduates on labour market, the precondition of which is a correctly assembled curriculum of a foreign specialized language both in its cultivation and qualification part. The goal of this dissertation is to on the one hand examine significant features of our presence which have influence on cultivation component of curriculum in particular, and examining the requirements of practice which determine its qualification component. From the synthesis of conclusions of both parts, we formulate recommendations for assembling specialized foreign language curriculum for universities of economic focus on a specific case of the curriculum of specialized German at University of Economics, Prague. We define the notion curriculum in theoretical part and we deal with curriculum from synchronic and diachronic aspect. Hermeneutical approach examines its social determinants. Furthermore we deal with current problem of special methodologies, which touch upon the addressed problem: methodology of tertiary education, methodology of foreign languages, methodology of German and methodology of specialized German. In conclusion of the theoretical part, space is devoted to language policy in Czech and European context and we summarize current state of solution of our research problem. In the research part, we deal with the qualification part of curriculum by means of empirical research of University of Economics, Prague graduates focused on the analysis of current demands of labour market on the knowledge of and the comparison of these requirements with the existing curriculum of German at University of Economics, Prague. It has been verified in the research whether the level of graduates´ knowledge for practice is sufficient and gives them competitive value on the labour market, what activities they do in German, how they reflect their studies of German at University of Economics, Prague and what their suggestions to curriculum, which would better respect their educational needs, are. Conclusions of the research are compared with the existing curriculum as it is depicted in graduate´s profile, as well as syllabuses of individual subjects and textbooks which are used in tuition at present. We derive from both of the steps that the nature of changes in curriculum is legitimate. Concrete suggestions for the innovation of curriculum where we take the findings of theoretical and research part into account follow the research part.

Domestic Violence With The Victim's Point Of View
HONZLOVÁ, Jana
The issue of domestic violence is currently a highly discussed social issue. Domestic violence happens in privacy, behind closed doors, among people who are close. It can occur in all social classes and it can basically happen to anyone. The survey shows that almost every fourth woman has experienced domestic violence, therefore, this theses focuses on the perception of domestic violence from the perspective of women as its victims. The bachelor thesis is focused on comparison of the theory, developed from available sources as well as from the real experience of a victim, which was discovered on the basis of quality research. The theoretical part of the bachelor thesis deals with the definition of domestic violence, its causes, process, signs and possible consequences. Further, it deals with the characteristics of the victim and with the influence the situation has on children who witness domestic violence. Qualitative methodology was chosen for the survey. A semi-structured interview was selected as a collection technique. The research sample was made up of seven women. They each were privately interviewed, and each one was at that time or had been previously involved in a relationship, where domestic violence had already occured. The aim of the thesis was to reflect on domestic violence from the point of view of the victims, and to finding out, which type of domestic violence is considered to be the worst by the victims, and, further, which reasons prevent the victims from actively resolving their situation. The research showed that the victims consider the psychological abuse to be the worst manifestation of partner violence, especially for its longevity and for the consequences that are left on their psychological condition. Among the reasons which prevent the victims from resolving the situation actively are, for instance, shame, fear of losing children, fear of the partner and distrust of police and other institutions. By means of this thesis I intended to take a closer look at the issue of domestic violence and to portray the complicated situation of abused women.

Šrot, Pavel ; Burgetová, Ivana (referee) ; Křivka, Zbyněk (advisor)
This work is concerned about publishing on Internet and ongoing processes. It aims to introduce the reader to some freely available editorial systems and their main functions. There is a description, how can be all the mentioned freely available editorial systems extended to support another functionality (especially possibility of extension supporting game uploading and replaying). In the next part of the work, there is an analysis of editorial game system, which is extended to support plugins for game upload and replay in a context of some article. The aim of this analysis is to demonstrate the process of developing an information system in practice, because many books concerning about demand specification and possibly about their analysis do not contain any complex example, where it would be possible for the reader to understand how is the analysis of a complex information system done.

FROM THE STORY TO THE WORD
Zajíček, Pavel ; MIKEŠ, Vladimír (advisor) ; ČUNDERLE, Michal (referee)
This thesis attempts to thematize a conscious process of writing. It proves that the motive for a creative and joyful activity can also be something as unworthy of one´s attention such as the obligation to develop a genuine bachelor thesis. One of the conclusions which this work comes to is as follows: If we want things to make sense we need to find it first or give these things a meaning. An activity must definitely be on our side, in this case on the side of a student whose task is to write a bachelor thesis, not on the thesis itself.

Management Knowledge workers
Blažková, Kristýna ; Mládková, Ludmila (advisor) ; Sedlacký, Martin (referee)
These approaches have little relevance for executives contending with the day-to-day reality of running a company. Knowledge management is complex and multifaceted; it encompasses everything the organization does to make knowledge available to the business, such as embedding key information in systems and processes, applying incentives to motivate employees and forging alliances to infuse the business with new knowledge. Effective knowledge management requires a combination of many organizational elements--technology, human resource practices, organizational structure and culture--in order to ensure that the right knowledge is brought to bear at the right time. Knowledge management is still a relatively young field, with new concepts emerging constantly. Often, it is portrayed simplistically; discussions typically revolve around blanket principles that are intended to work across the organization. The aim of my diploma paper is to introduce knowledge workers management in well known and successful international organization, The Boston Consulting Group (BCG), that has been present in Czech Republic since 1990's. Knowledge workers management in BCG is described in context OF global economy situation, in which knowledge and knowledge workers play significant role. Knowledge kept in employees' brains is an intangible asset of every company, especially consulting company. Very often, the knowledge holders are not aware of the fact that their knowledge is important to the company and crucial to its Access. From the company point of view, it is necessary to recognize the key knowledge holder, to manage them and to try ensuring the working environment that enable easy knowledge sparing. From the BCG example, we can see that knowledge management is well established HR process, which manages hiring, retaining and developing relationships with alumni. Key issue is to motivate knowledge workers to share their knowledge, to develop the right environment and grant the right tools.

Rite, LSD and Freetechno
Winkler, Petr ; Šiklová, Jiřina (advisor) ; Müllerová, Pavlína (referee)
Minulý rok policejní jednotky z pochybných důvodů a dosti nevybíravým způsobem rozehnaly hudební festival Czechtek. Krev a nemalá finanční částka, jenž zaplatili daňoví poplatníci za zásah bezpečnostních složek vyvolala mediální bouři a něco, co se dá jen stěží nazvat diskuse. Tato práce je skromným příspěvkem k případné skutečné diskusi a domnívám se, že přispívá k vysvětlení, proč a co jsou akce jako Czechtek a jakou představují společenskou nebezpečnost. Tato práce ukazuje, odkud čerpá freetekno energii pro své konání. Myslím, že se mi podařilo zasadit freetekno do širšího kontextu a poukázat tak na kontinuitu, která se nese napříč historií - již od iniciačních rituálů nejstarších společností. Freetekno je, domnívám se, zmutovanou formou těchto rituálů, přičemž platí, že výsledná podoba oné formy je dána i prostředím (společností), ve kterém mutace probíhá, nikoliv freeteknem samotným. Jelikož k iniciačním rituálům vždy patřilo užívání psychotropních látek, zaměřil jsem se na užívání LSD v souvislosti s freeteknem. Na základě svých empirických zjištění se domnívám, že užívání LSD na freeteknu nedosáhlo pro společnost nijak nebezpečných rozměrů, ba možná naopak. Dotazovaní uvádějí, že ačkoliv berou LSD v tomto prostředí primárně pro potěšení a pobavení svých smyslů, umožňují jim tyto zážitky lépe poznat...
