Music has long been associated with human society. The positive benefits of performing music on human beings have long been known. Increased attention has been paid to its risks recently. The negative effects of a sedentary lifestyle on the human locomotor system are discussed a lot. Nevertheless, most musicians play sitting while they can stand. The aim of this bachelor thesis was to describe the influence of motor stereotypes on the quality of music performance and development of musculoskeletal pain, and to compare the motor stereotypes of keyboard players during standing and sitting. In the theoretical part the basic knowledge about this topic is summarized. Functional description of the human locomotor system and the influence of music is provided. Both motor stereotypes that can lead to playing-related musculoskeletal disorders and physiological motor patterns are described. Music physiology and musician's medicine are also presented. The practical part of the bachelor's thesis consists of combined research consisting mainly of recording the electromyographic activity of selected muscles during performance in standing and sitting positions. The activity of the following muscles was measured bilaterally: extensor carpi radialis, trapezius descendens, pars lumbalis erectoris spinae and obliquus abdominis externus. The performance quality was evaluated both subjectively and the software analysis of audio recordings was performed. Furthermore, kinesiological examinations were performed on the probands. In addition, an online questionnaire survey was included. Mainly the results of electromyographic measurements favorize slightly the standing position for playing instruments. This work can be used in the clinical practice of physiotherapists and in the musician's medicine. It can also serve music educators and musicians themselves

Let G be a subset of the dual of a real Banach space X and F ⊂ G. Then F is a James boundary of G if each w∗ -continuous linear functional on X attains its supremum over G on an element of the set F. We ask whether a norm bounded subset of X which is countably compact for the topology generated by F is ne- cessary sequentially compact for the topology generated by G. The main content of our work is a positive solution to this problem. As a corollary we obtain James characterization of weakly compact subsets of a real Banach space. Due to the Eberlein-Šmuljan theorem a positive solution to the so called boundary problem is shown as a special case of the affirmative answer to the question raised above. The question is further discussed for a case of Banach spaces defined over the complex field. In this case we cannot use the old definition of the James boun- dary but by a "natural" way it is possible to redefine the term James boundary and then we are able to answer our question positively again. 1

We focus on first-order definability in the quasiordered class of finite digraphs ordered by embeddability. At first we will prove definability of each digraph up to size three. We will need to add to the quasiorder structure some digraphs as constants, so we try to find the needed set of constants as small as possible with small digraph as well. Gradually we make instruments that we can use to express the inner structure of each digraphs in the language of embeddability. At the end we investigate definability in the closely related lattice of universal classes of digraphs. We show that the set of finitely generated and also the set of finitely axiomatizable universal classes are definable subsets of the lattice.

Aims: (1.) to evaluate the historical development of a selected area, using certain indicators computed by Patch Analyst and Fragstas, (2.) to critically evaluate the possibility of using these indicators for landscape planning, (3.) to define the main factors driving the historical changes of landscape structure and to characterize changes in landscape function, and (4.) to propose an improvement of the current state of the area. Map layers including current and past landscape structures were produced using ArcGIS 9.2. Proposed have also been extreme variants of land use, its variants with an increased occurrence of shrubs, and layers showing crops cultivated in the area in the years 2003 - 2009. Some metrics were computed simultaneously by Patch Analyst and Fragstats and the outputs of both programs were compared. The data obtained were treated using STATISTICA 8.

The aim of my bachelor thesis was mapping of the land cover in Olešnice cadaster and analysing its progression in the years 1949 {--} 2005. Changes of the structure of the landscape and history of the area that led to landscape change were analyzed. There were used methods of geographic information systems. These indices were used for analysis of changes of land cover: Shannon´s diversity index, coefficient of ecological stability, landscape similarity index, index of change and index of progression. The result of this study is the discovery of relative high values of The Shannon´s diversity index and coefficient of ecological stability. It says that in Olešnice there is high quality of the environment. The dominating trend was land consolidation between the years 1949 and 1987 and turning fields to grasslands, between the years 1987 and 2005.

The objective of this Bachelor Thesis is evaluation of eGovernment evolution and its modernization using the new ICT technologies in countries of the Visegrad Group (V4). Gained information is compared with the average of~European Union. The theoretical part contains the definition of basic terms and characteristics of eGoverment. This Thesis describes individual eGovernment projects of~each country of the V4: Slovakia, Hungary, Poland and especially the Czech Republic. Following part of the Thesis focuses on contemporary strategies and issues of eGovernment. One of the main condition for the~evolution of eGovernment services is the usage of ICT and Internet by individuals in the~relation to the government and their digital literacy. The third part of the evaluation is broadband as a technological aspect. Very important part of further eGovernment evolution are Human Resources - post secondarily and tertiarily educated ICT professionals. The practical part of the Thesis analyses the current state of these indicators using free database of EUROSTAT. Gained data help to interpret the present state and predict how much would chosen countries be able to adapt to the market changes in the field of eGovernment services.

The diploma thesis provides a comprehensive historical analysis of the relation between the state and the Church and the legal norms that are relevant to this issue and tries to interpret individual key provisions. It reveals the intentions of the Republican legislators to cope with Maltese grievances and the Latifunds, the efforts to redistribute large territorial units to smaller farmers and thus to start economic production. The diploma thesis also focuses on the consequences of the first land reform, which in the end did not fully fulfill the original expectations. For this reason, the legislators proceeded to review it, which is also analyzed in the diploma thesis. It also addresses the controversial question of the nature of ecclesiastical property, which in the past was in another position than it would be after the process of straightening relations with churches and religious societies. The thesis seeks to answer the question whether the concept of restitution of ecclesiastical property respects the concept of land reform.

Since 2001, the legislation on enforcement has been fundamentally changed, on 1st 2001, Act No. 120/2001 Coll., Executors and Enforcement Activities (Enforcement Code) entered into force. The creditor has thus been given the opportunity to decide how recover his claim. Until then, his only possibility for recovering claims was through the court, but since this date he could acquire his rights through the services of a distrainer. In 2012, this duality was abolished and is executed in most cases by private distrainer. He carries out his activity for reward, which results in his status as an entrepreneur. And his reward has been a thorny issue since 2001, when the profession came into our systhem. The issue of this topic is also evidenced by the parliamentary bill, which tries to regulate to reduce the distrainer`s tariff. The thesis compares the current situation in the Czech Republic with selected states. For purposes of this thesis, I chose Germany, because there is recovery of debts through a state employee, France because this system is one of the oldest and served as a model for many states and Slovakia, for reasons of common history and amendment that came into force in April this year. The aim of the thesis is to map the situation in selected states, to find possible deviations and sources of inspiration for the system of executive services in the territory of the Czech Republic.

The aim of the following paper is to identify and critically analyze the situation related to the possibility of protection of cultural monuments using the institute of expropriation. In the first part I will define the basic concepts from which the paper will continue to develop. In the next section for completeness I will give a brief interpretation of the development with the historical development of ownership. Next, I will mention how the deficiencies of expropriation are grounded on both international and national levels. The fifth chapter sets out the formal requirements and the course of the expropriation procedure. All the knowledge with the preceding chapters is applied to the last chapter of the example of a conflict related to monuments in Grandmother's Valley. The conclusion of the last chapter is devoted to the shortcomings found in the examination of the problem and to the argued proposals for their solution.

The subject of this thesis is the possibility of an application of marketing tools in the public administration, particularly in the field of a gradual computerization of the public administration, called e-government. In the Part I, a suitability of the use of manager methods within the public sector is discussed and, a development of these implementations is outlined. An emphasis is then put on the marketing tools and methods of communication between the public authorities and the population. The communication issue is followed by a partial survey, which observes an openness of websites of selected national authorities. Finally, the main analysis of the thesis is to evaluate the public awareness of the possibilities of using the e-government services in our country. The questionnaire-based survey disproved an initial hypothesis, that the lower utilization of some tools is a result of a lack of information provided to the citizens.

The subject of this master thesis is the use of e-government by citizens and public administration and its impact on debureaucratization of environment. The thesis will initially focus on the characteristics of bureaucracy, de-bureaucratization and the characteristics and evolution of e-government. The first half of the practical part is devoted to e-government and debureaucratization of the citizen view, its analysis and perspective. Part of this issue is a survey which aims to understand how citizens perceive the Czech e-government. The second half is devoted to e-government and debureaucratization of public administration perspective, focusing on the size of the bureaucratic apparatus including an evaluation of the Czech e-government at the European level. The conclusion is based on lessons learned assesses the extent to which e-government fulfills its debureaucratic role.

The main topic of my dissertation is a referendum as an instrument of direct democracy. Czech Republic is one of the latest country to have joined the European Union, whose constitutional system does not have modification of a nationwide referendum. The aim of this work was to evaluate the approach and the content of government's draft of the constitutional law for the nationwide referendum presented as a Parliamentary Document No. 559, in comparison with its regulation in selected European countries. The author establishes several basic criteria which are mainly concluded through analysis and comparison. The results indicate we cannot expect any significant step forward in terms of civil participation and qualitative democratic progress in proposals describe above.

The project analyzes current legislation on usury in the Czech Republic and the financial literacy of the adult population. On 1 Dec. 2016, an amended Act on Consumer Loans entered into force and this project examines it. The project compares Czech legislation on usury with selected European Union countries. Czech legislation is similar with German and Portugal legislation, especially in terms of civil law. The most effective legislation can be considered in Spain, which explicitly stipulates allowed interest rate limits. Based on that, Czech legislation on usury should be adjusted. The research results show a correlation between respondents' highest-achieved level of education and their financial literacy levels. The research also finds that the number of court distraints (property seizures) and the willingness to borrow money is lower among respondents with university-level education than for respondents with secondary and basic school education. When comparing our findings with research by STEM/MARK dating from 2010, it is clear that the financial literacy of the adult population in the Czech Republic has not changed significantly since that time.

The theme of this work is the real possibility of introducing the electronic-only submission in the Czech Republic, concretely the following use of the services of the public administration contact places, the so calles Czech POINTs.

This thesis analyzes the impact of high schools on the political thinking of students. For the analysis are used theoretical concepts of assumptions of indoctrination of educational system. Furthermore empirical indicators, which can draw attention to the indoctrination of the educational system. Also there is an experiment which was created for the analysis and is taking place at 22 high schools in three regions of the Czech Republic. Results of the analysis indicate that the problem of indoctrination in the education system is very serious, however, difficult to prove. The analysis failed to confirm the effect of high schools on the political thinking of students, but managed to make a picture of the danger of indoctrination in the education system, about its potential and options.

The main aim of this thesis is to analyze the approaches of identification of individuals in the Czech Republic. The next part of the thesis are the characteristics of personal data protection in the Czech Republic, an overview of legislative changes in the identification of individuals and in particular the analysis of the Regulation No 910/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council. Based on the characteristics of the legislation identification in the Czech Republic , the analysis of the above mentioned Regulation and compared with the identification systems that are in place in other European Union states and several other countries around the world , is created draft a universal identifier for the Czech Republic as a vision of the future with specific recommended elements and their reasoning . The main contribution of this work is the analysis of legislation in the Czech Republic and its changes following the adoption of new EU legislation, as well as the inclusion of the new legislation in a model for the identification of individuals in the Czech Republic.

This thesis deals with the assessment and remuneration of employees, which is used by the public and private sectors. First, there is described the legal regulation related to the issue, both at a general level, focusing primarily on the Labour Code and relevant additional standards, as well as the specifics of the legislation applicable to the remuneration of public employees. The description is then devoted to the topic of assessment and remuneration, which describes the principles and methods of these systems, again in general terms and then with the specifics of public administration. On a practical level, there is an analysis of systems of specific public institution, the office of the Municipal District of the Capital City of Prague - Prague 3, which is then compared with the system used by the private company. The result of this analysis and comparison is providing recommendations to improve the effectiveness of assessment and remuneration tools.

This thesis analyzes gamble gaming, bets and lottery in the Czech Republic. Historic context of hazzard and view of economic theory and the game theory is described in details. This thesis deals with the economic, social and legislative impacts of gamble gaming and bets. Current changes and issues are analyzed in depth, there are also views of the particular subjects included within this analyze.

Current environment of gambling is analyzed on the country level as well as on the municipal level (As an example town Třešť and Jihlava were chosen).

The efficient competition protection is EU's crucial key objective in order to provide smooth functioning of the local competition and the internal market. Within different segments of the competition I focused on the state aid issue, which is a specific area of the EU competition law. Providing any state aid inevitably influences the market enviroment and carries a considerable risk of the competition distortion. It effects the trade between Member States as well. The main aim of this diploma thesis is not only to describe the European legislation related to state aids, but also its impact on the Czech legal system. The Community state aid rules stem from Articles 107 - 109 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and their main purpose is to prevent any selective advantages to certain market players. This thesis also focuses on reforms and modernization of the state aid control system, in particular to the State Aid Action Plan.

The study is based on a questionnaire survey.

This thesis analyzes the implementation of the EU emission trading scheme (EU ETS) in comparison with the electronization of public administration, the level of development of information society, and the approach to the regulation of greenhouse gas emissions in selected EU member states (the Czech republic, Slovakia, France, Italy, the United Kingdom). The main subject of this thesis is, whether the process of the implementation of EU ETS fits into the general conceptions of e-government in selected countries, or whether it stands individually. The EU system of emission trading is an european e-government service, and that is also the reason why its implementation depends significantly on the maturity of use of information and communication technologies within public administration in selected countries. This thesis is divided into three main sections, the first chapter contains the comparative analysis of the level of development of the electronization of public administration in selected countries, the second chapter contains the analysis of available information about the implementation of EU ETS in these states, and the third chapter compares the results from both previous sections, and contains the answers to the main questions mentioned above.

The work deals with the issue of evaluation of employees in public administration. First, it describes the principles of remuneration and reward theory in general, and subsequently, the specifics applicable to public administration are formulated here. The description of the currently valid legislation governing the issue of the staff is being described in the essay, again, first in general, then the attention is focused on the specifics regulated by rewarding employees who work in public administration, it also mainly analyzes the current treatment of the Labour Code, as well as treatment of related specific and complementary legal standards. On a practical level, the work deals with the remuneration of the tax office in Ostrava III and the municipal office of Ostrava South, specifically devoted to the analysis and evaluation of the remuneration of workers in these institutions. On the basis of the analysis the possible recommendations and suggestions for changes and improvements to existing practice in those institutions were set out.

This work deals with the system of employee's remuneration in the public administration. At first it describes theoretically the historical development of the public administration at the area of the Czech republic up to the present.
