Decomposition and time development of expenditure, investment and other public sector indicators in the Czech Republic
Louda, Jaroslav ; Janský, Petr (advisor) ; Palanská, Tereza (referee)
This thesis examines the decompositions of public expenditure and investment between individual governmental levels in the Czech Republic for the period between 2017 and 2020, studies inequalities across municipalities in terms of public expenditure and its components and attempts to offer solutions to inefficiencies arising from high territorial fragmentation of the country. The results show that the role of subnational governments in public spending and investment decreased. Within the subnational level, some resources were allocated from municipal to regional governments. Expenditure per capita across municipalities follows a U-shaped curve, indicating that, for the smallest municipalities, costs tend to be relatively high, especially in the case of administrative expenditure. This issue could be mitigated by implementing policies that would incentivise merging small municipalities into larger ones.

The concept of referendums in democracy: a comparison of the Scottish and Catalan models
Dudycha, Petr ; Říchová, Blanka (advisor) ; Brunclík, Miloš (referee)
The diploma thesis called 'the concept of referendums in democracy: a comparison of the Scottish and Catalan models', deals with the question of referendum in democracy which is an instrument for countries to become independent. The referendum is correctly known as a constitutional referendum. This thesis also deals with the application of a constitutional referendum in the cases of Scotland and Catalonia. The main purpose of this research is to analyse the conduct of the Scottish and Catalan referendums for independence, both of which were held in the autumn of 2014. The paper looks to identify the similarities and differences between these two examples. Both cases are based on seven variables in the research of referendums: 1) constitutional framework for holding a referendum of independence, 2) identification of the basic political process leading to a referendum, 3) organizational-administrative regulation of a referendum, 4) issues during the referendum campaign, 5) opinion polls for the referendum, 6) results of the referendum and 7) predicted consequences of the referendum. The final purpose of this thesis is to assess how these two models reflect on the current constitutional practice in a democratic society.

Public Health in Zambia and its specificity
MUBIANA, Nawa
Public health in Zambia is organized according to priority areas. It varies from one place to another according to the needs of the people in the community and the circumstance surrounding their health situation. However, the determinants of health that drive this Public health system are almost the same. Zambia is still a developing country and there is much to be done to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of its Public health system. Some of these enhancing factors to strengthen this quite unstable Public health system ranges from good and sound economy, efficient health policies, prioritization of the determinants of health and good health promotion. The main aim of this thesis is to analyze the Public health system in Zambia and take note of its successes and failures. I approached this issue from the time the health reforms were introduced under the frame work of the Sector Wide Approach up to the decentralization of the Zambian Public health system. In this qualitative type of research, I chose to use a secondary analyzation of data. I obtained much of my information from studying health literatures, journals, laws and other health publications and sources which I found relevant to this topic. I also consulted with the Zambian Ministry of Health, Provincial Health Offices as well as the District Health Office in relation to the topic at hand. A series of 3 open research questions were also used as a guide to obtaining data. However, the results of this research reveals a gross inequality in accessing Public health care between the urban and rural areas, the rich and the poor, literate and illiterate and finally between boys and girls or men and women. This work can be used a guide to improve the Public health system and also as a road map for further research on the related topic.
