Sociologický průzkum zaměřený na priority lesníků vykonávajících právo myslivosti
Pancner, Jan
This dissertation examines the value balance of the opinions of foresters who simultaneously practise hunting. The aim was to find out if there is a conflict of interest between their profession and hobby. The data was collected surveying foresters who work on the largest forest estate in the Czech Republic. The biggest conflict of interests was revealed among the employees of LČR, s.p. Their most active hunting group prefers their hobby to other interests of the forestry profession. For the most hunting-active employees of private owners, the influence of relation to the forest on hunting activity was not proven. This group hunts mainly for financial reward. The workers of the Šumava National Park are probably the closest to a balanced relationship between forest and game, because when they found out that the amount of game was over limit and was causing problems for the forest they increased their hunting activity.

Šafová, Julie ; Turek, Pavel (advisor) ; Čeňková, Jana (referee)
Bachelor's thesis Critic or creator? Merging the roles of cultural journalist and audiovisual content creator focuses on the specific aspect in which the sphere of cultural journalism is penetrated by people who are themselves engaged in the process of creating cultural contents. The paper first defines cultural journalism and criticism as general genres with linguistic specifics, then focuses on the concept of criticism as an institution and describes the crisis of the critical genre and its form in the digitalized environment of today. Other chapters deal with the precarization of work, a phenomenon during which permanent jobs are replaced by precarious work dependent on part-time and one-off activities, which is central to the Czech and global cultural journalism and its understanding. The thesis defines how the precarization of work affects the cultural industry and media production. The aim of the thesis is to examine the relationship between the roles of cultural publicist and audiovisual content creator, how this relationship is reflected in the activities of those who occupy both roles, and how these roles complement each other. The practical output of the thesis is a series of eight interviews with male and female respondents who, in addition to audiovisual criticism, are also involved in...

1 Abstract The dissertation is focused on the topic of conflict of interest as a decision-making problem in the performance of public functions, when the public interest, which the public official has to promote or defend by virtue of his position, and his private interest come into conflict. The existing institutes of the Czech legal system, which regulate situations of conflict of interest, are divided into several groups, to which chapters of the dissertation are dedicated.

Title Corruption. English Abstract The rigorous work deals with the evaluation of the level of criminal substantive law and criminal procedural law with the greatest emphasis on the national level. The primary goal of this work is to find out how it is currently possible to face the corruption and whether the Czech legislation provides useful tools to help fight against the corruption.

The rigorous work deals with all of these groups of instruments when attention is paid both in general and also specifically on Czech criminal law. In order to assess the effectiveness of all instruments, the first criterion is a sufficient scale, which means whether the Czech legislation can punish all types of corruption, the second criterion is the ability to search for, secure and make available sufficient evidence, and the third criterion is the stringency of punishments. The introductory part deals with the definition of...

Regulation of 'revolving door' at European Union institutions
Udržal, Jan ; Šlosarčík, Ivo (advisor) ; Kasáková, Zuzana (referee)
This thesis examined the regulation of ‚revolving doors' at European Union institutions, i.e. the fluctuation of personnel between public and private sectors, which threatens the independence of public administration. It adopts the research design of exploratory case study and the methods of doctrinal legal research and qualitative document analysis to build an overview of post-employment rules imposed on public officials of the European Commission, European Parliament, Council and European Central Bank. Contrary to common conceptions, the rules are based on 'hard law' norms. Further, the types of revolving door moves which are prohibited vary among the institutions. Majority of the institutions enjoy a wide discretion in the implementation of the rules but seem to consider them as an internal matter, leaving a lot to be desired from a transparency standpoint. Lastly, a hypothesis of prioritization of revolving door risks by institutions is derived for further inquiry.

The choice of a defence counsel and attorney for a legal entity in criminal proceedings
Hujerová, Věra ; Jelínek, Jiří (advisor) ; Heranová, Simona (referee)
The Master's Thesis deals with the issue of the choice of a defence counsel and attorney for a legal entity in criminal proceedings in the context of the right to a fair trial and the right to defence of a legal entity. Defence of a legal entity in criminal proceedings is exercised by persons authorised to act on its behalf. If those persons find themselves in the incompatible procedural position of an accused, a witness or a victim in the same case, they are excluded by law from all acts on behalf of the legal entity in criminal proceedings on the grounds of a presumption of conflict of interests. The title of the Master's Thesis is based on the conclusions of the case law of the Constitutional Court which case law, in order to preserve the right of defence of a legal entity, also grants a person in an incompatible procedural position of an accused or a witness the right to choose a defence counsel or an attorney for the legal entity, subject to other conditions described in this Master's Thesis. I get focused in the introductory part on the description of the rudiments of criminal liability of legal entities, I mention the legal regulation which is used in the Master's Thesis and I summarize what is its content. Subsequently, I deal with the definition of individual persons authorised to act on...
