Laterality in social and locomotory behaviour of domestic pigs (Sus scrofa f. domestica)
Kunclová, Kristýna ; Špinka, Marek (advisor) ; Nekovářová, Tereza (referee)
The aim of this diploma thesis is to find out whether pigs exhibit laterality in social behavior, especially the laterality of rotational movements in game behavior and social interactions. We aimed also to explore how this laterality is influenced by other factors, especially the possibilities of playful behavior in ontogenesis, personality and others social and non-social factors. Alternatively, whether the degree of laterality determined varies depending on the social situation (game / aggression) and whether is influenced by the litter. I have investigated this behavior for 64 pigs in 16 litters from videotapes of their social behavior. For each pig, I recorded the playing element and the preferential side. For individual game elements I did not find any preference for rotation at the population level and only a slight tendency for individual laterality. For social game elements, I have shown a weak population tendency to prefer left side, but only for a group of more playing pigs. The main contribution of this work is the symmetry found in the implementation of individual game elements and, on the contrary, the observed laterality at the population level for social game behavior. Since the laterality of playful behavior has not yet been investigated, it is possible that this symmetry is...

Laterality in locomotory-rotational and social behaviour of mammals
Kunclová, Kristýna ; Špinka, Marek (advisor) ; Vlček, Kamil (referee)
Lateralization of brain structures manifesting behavioral laterality is a known phenomenon among vertebrates, and their equivalents are also found in invertebrates. In this paper, I will review motor laterality in mammals, which includes mainly preferential use of one limb/paw (Handedness) and spatial preferences in rotational behavior. In this work, I will summarize laterality of rotational behavior, as the most important part of my paper, within the larger scope of motor laterality. I will offer some explanations of laterality changes depending on the surrounding circumstances, and the emotional setting of individuals and present examples of laterality at the individual and population levels in mammals. Keywords: Lateralization, Motor laterality, rotational/turning asymmetries, Handedness, Forelimb preference, Individual laterality, Population laterality, Mammals

Application of selected calculation methods in Friall s.r.o.
Kunclová, Kristýna ; Stejskalová, Irena (advisor) ; Buus, Tomáš (referee)
Goal of this diploma thesis is to analyze calculations and their managing in Friall s. r. o. At first the costs are examined from the global angle -- their structure and evidence is described. The rest of thesis is connected with calculations. It analyzes present calculation system and draws up remaining two calculations method that are recommended in the latest theoretical sources. At the end of the thesis some modifications that follow from the done computation are suggested.

Intercultural aspect of business meetings
Kunclová, Kristýna ; Hiršová, Miloslava (advisor) ; Míková, Irena (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with business meetings and with influence of intercultural differences. This bachelor thesis compares practical experiences during negotiations among partners from selected countries with theoretical result from the literature. It is divided into two parts. In the theoretical part I describe general influence and barriers that have impact on the meeting. Then the bachelor thesis describes culture dimensions. Comparison of the countries is based on these dimensions. The theoretical part ends with summary of the theoretical part. The practical part describes a research of practical results in three companies. The responders are managers and head officers who negotiate with foreign partners. The research is focused on culture dimensions and how the influence of these dimensions the responders feel.
