Needs Analysis of social prevention Services for Children and Youth in Třeboň
ŠEDIVÁ, Ivana
The mission of the low-threshold facility for children and youth is to aim for integration of children and youth into society and for positive change to the way of life of young people who find themselves in a severe social situation. Essential importance of this facility are its consulting and preventive activities which enable children and youth to have a chat or to open out and talk about their problems that can be dealt with through the help of the assistants. There is no such facility in Třeboň, children and youth have no direct specialised social service here, which would offer activities and help in their leisure time. Main target of my Bachelor?s Thesis is to map the need of low-threshold facility for children and youth in Třeboň. The research was focused on two groups of people and their opinions, which are important for meeting the main target and partial targets of the thesis. The first group was children and youth of schools in Třeboň and the second group was professional public considering the theme of my thesis (educational consultants, headmasters, representatives of municipal Police, members of Třeboň municipality council, deputy heads of Třeboň schools etc.). The first partial target was to find out an interest in use of low-threshold facility in the municipality of Třeboň, the second partial target was to find what activities children would be interested in. The third partial target was to compare the opinions of respondents to the analysis of potential users of social services implemented within the process of development plan creation. There were defined two following hypotheses within the thesis. H1: More than a half of the interviewed students are interested in use of a low-threshold facility for children and youth in Třeboň, H2: Potential clients of the low-threshold facility for children and youth expect especially an offer of pedagogical, educational and activation working. H1 and H2, which were analysed within a quantitative research using the method of questioning and the questionnaire technique, were proved. Children and youth of Třeboň schools would like to use such facility in the municipality of Třeboň. There was defined a research question within the thesis: Should the municipality of Třeboň financially support an establishment and operation of a low - threshold facility for children and youth in its territory? On the basis of a statement of professional public regarding this research question it is possible to say that 77, 7% interviewed from professional public think that Třeboň should financially support this facility and 22, 3% interviewed is on the opposite opinion. Low-threshold facility for children and youth in Třeboň would help the municipality to control criminal activities of children and youth by offering a suitable and specialized service directly to them. Unorganised youth would spend their leisure time by doing activities which can serve as prevention against risk behaviour. The activities would be professionally secured. Based on the opinions of the above mentioned two groups on the low-threshold facility for children and youth in Třeboň and consequent assessment it is possible to use the results then as a background material for possible review of the social service development plan in Třeboň and to get closer to children and youth and their needs.

Analysis of the EU regulations in the field of Information and Telecommunication technologies and their effect on the single market
Hart, Ludvík ; Procházka, Pavel (advisor) ; Strejček, Ivo (referee)
The bachelor thesis describes the EU regulations in the field of information and communication technologies (ICT), particularly the Digital agenda for Europe strategy. These regulations are then tested for their influence on the European single market. The major question answered here is whether the EU regulations in field of ICT have a positive impact on the EUs single market. Answer to this question helps us evaluate the ongoing Digital agenda strategy. The impact of the regulations is analysed by induction of the following indicators, international trade, ratio of population buying online, DESI index and NRI index. With this method it is possible to tackle the wide range of fields the Digital agenda covers. I conclude this work with the statement, that European ICT regulations do have a positive impact on the single market, although are problematic due to the slow legislative process and low efficiency in addressing the regulated issue.

Sustainable tourism development of Vysocina Region
Veselá, Markéta ; Macháček, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Vondráková, Zuzana (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with the topic of sustainable tourism development at the regional level. This phenomenon is elaborated on the example of Vysocina Region. To evaluate sustainability of its development, the potential of this touristic destination is researched regarding various areas, including key products. These are subjected to comparisons with recommendations of significant tourism organization for the purpose of assessing the sustainability of tourism. The diploma thesis also includes a comparison with other Czech regions experience as a touristic destination. Vysocina Region has favourable initial conditions for its sustainable development, especially regarding supply of key products, which include both environmentally friendly goods and cultural attractiveness contributing to the personal development of individuals and promoting intercultural tolerance. The main issue appears to be the spatial imbalance of its development in the region, caused mainly by the concentration of tourist activities to certain areas and low local initiative in the less attractive areas. The diploma thesis proposes a number of solutions, such as utilization of geocaching and products of gastroturism, supporting the foundation of local destination management organisations, promoting cycling tourism and the foundation of highly visited tourist destinations.

Impact of low oil and natural gas prices on the economy of Qatar since 2014
Šamánek, Ondřej ; Stuchlíková, Zuzana (advisor) ; Hasík, Gabriel (referee)
The bachelor thesis examines the impact of the oil and gas prices slump, which befell the world in 2014, on the economy of Qatar. The main objective of the thesis is to evaluate if and to what extend the price collapse influenced the relevant economic indicators and behaviour of the state and companies active in the affected field. The selected objective is examined using the method of data comparison, namely before and after the price slump, and with the help of the case study, in which the qatari company operating in the oil and gas is examined. From the conducted analysis it is possible to conclude that Qatar was directly influenced by the oil and gas prices collapse: its GDP slumped, fiscal deficit increased. The analysed company also experienced troubles caused by low prices: one year after the price slump, total amount of assigned tenders to company decreased substantially and historically high number of tenders was cancelled. Conclusions deriving from the thesis might be applied to other oil and gas export economies in the Persian Gulf, for fundamental traits of such economies are shared with the economy of Qatar.

Detection of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producers in community and in a hospital
POLENOVÁ, Lucie
The incidence of bacteria resistant to available antibiotics has become an important problem. Statistics show the rising number of resistant bacteria worldwide. Bacteria have ability to be resistant naturally or they develop from point mutation of genes and relay it between species or kinds. The study was made because of significance and relevance of this problem. In theoretical part the study is focused on the functional parts of bacterial cell, which participate in mechanisms of resistance. Beta - lactam antibiotics are described in more detail. The research took place in Hospital České Budějovice, a. s. during 2013. The study aimed to determine the frequency of ESBL positive producers in this hospital and to compare with frequency in community, and to identify units with highest frequency of ESBL producers. Pathogens are isolated from clinical material, being delivered to bacteriology lab in Hospital České Budějovice, a. s. Resistant samples were examined with double disc synergy test (DDST) and quantitative method based on principle of minimal inhibition concentration in combination with chromogenic agar. The prevalence rate of ESBL producers is average to low in Hospital České Budějovice, a. s. During 2013, 12, 347 isolates were identified, ESBL production was identified in 226 isolates. Escherichia coli (183 isolates), Klebsiella pneumoniae (16 isolates), and Enterobacter cloacae (15 isolates) were the most prevalent species. The number of ESBL producers was lower compared to 2012, 2011, and 2010.

Application of Monte Carlo simulations in banking
Boruta, Matěj ; Teplý, Petr (advisor) ; Fučík, Vojtěch (referee)
Currently, banking is exposed to huge market risks. One of those risks is occurrence of negative interest rates in the EU. Nowadays, it is important to use sophisticated and modern measurement tools and approaches to measure and manage banking risks. One of those methods is Monte Carlo simulation. This bachelor thesis is aimed at analysis and prediction of 3-month maturity Prague Interest Offer Rate (PRIBOR) for 3, 6 and 12 months with using Monte Carlo simulations. It was found that this method is suitable for prediction market variables with low volatility. If anybody uses this method, it is necessity to have in mind all pitfalls and assumptions, that this method includes, as an adequate random generated number of scenarios, approximation of correct probability distribution, independence of dataset and not least, as far as possible, to focus on factors generating randomness of market variable and not the prices, that express rather consequences of randomness than its cause. Further, the Monte Carlo prediction was compared with prognosis of the Czech Nation Bank and it was found that Monte Carlo prediction is more accurate for short term predictions. 12-month prediction of Monte Carlo simulation discovered also possible occurrence of negative interest rate at 0,05% level of probability in compare to the Czech National Bank prognosis, where was no negative interest rate predicted.

The main goal of master thesis is to analyze and propose possible low cost Business Intelligence solution with open source technologies and comparison of available tools for implementation in middle size company. We compare Pentaho and Jaspersoft tools implemented on local hardware and cloud environment with Microsoft Azure services. The theoretical part focuses mainly on understanding the business intelligence and its architecture, because architecture is an important part of the work. Actual tools are designed as stand alone modules for specific activities in the business intelligence lifecycle. Low cost tools are often connected with open source technologies and cloud computing. This part of the work contains explanation of these terms and their advantages and disadvantages for our chosen target group of companies. The analytical part includes defined parameters by which it is conducted analysis of tools and their comparison. Business Intelligence solutions are divided according to arcitectural layers. The evaluation criteria are divided into financial, technical and user category. In conclusion, chosen tools are compared and evaluated. The main contribution of this thesis is comparison of open source business intelligence tools for implementation in middle size company. According to the EU directive, middle size company does not exceed 250 employees or profit is less than 50 million euros. The reader can compare the different solutions and their pitfalls or shortcomings that could be critical for the implementation.

The tax system reduces motivation to return to work among mothers with young children: recommendations and evaluation
Šatava, Jiří
In the Czech Republic, the overall taxation of work, i.e individuals' income tax together with social security and health insurance contributions, places a heavy burden even on the relatively low earnings of so-called second earners in households, i.e. partners with lower earnings. These peoples' work activity is, however, generally very sensitive to the level of taxation. A large group of these earners is made up of mothers with young children. Mothers who are the second earner in their household are subject to a participation tax rate (PTR) up to 30 % higher than their partners, and yet a higher PTR results in lower motivation to work. Women with children and low earning potential are subjected to the highest PTRs in comparison with their partners.
