The topic of this contribution is the evaluation of the national public support of the R&D projects in the field of neoplastic disease and the appraisal of the results of these projects. The evaluations were carried out in the research field framework of the EU Mission Cancer of the Horizon Europe framework programme. The public support of cancer research in the Czech Republic is rather high. Since the year 2015, more than six hundred projects focused on specific aspects of cancer received public funding. The total public support of these projects reached six billion CZK. Approximately two billion CZK came from the Ministry of Health Programme to support the applied medical R&D in the years 2015–2022. The largest fraction of the projects focused on understanding the mechanisms of neoplastic disease and the diagnostics and the therapy of cancer. On the other hand, a relatively small number of projects fell into the field of cancer prevention. The largest cancer research capacity exhibits the medical faculties of Charles University, Masaryk University, and Palacky University. Masaryk Memorial Cancer Institute in Brno also carries out extensive cancer research. The prevalent results of the projects are publications, mainly in impacted journals. Their average citation index exceeds the world average values. Besides the publications, the implemented projects generated a large number of applicable results. The most frequent of these were prototypes and functional samples. Intellectual property rights covered a large number of the applicable results.

This draft version of a working paper on the R&D policies in the new member states (NMS) includes the two pilot countries Czechia and Estonia and summarizes for each country the governance of R&D policy, the R&D funding structure (national funds, structural funds, international funding) and data availability. This working paper will be updated with sections on the other NMS.

The present thesis introduces multilevel confirmatory factor analysis (MCFA) as an appropriate methodology to use when data are hierarchically structured and an identification of theoretical concepts of a given inventory is desired. The main purpose of this thesis is to introduce all possible methods and issues which are connected with attitude research. The MCFA methodology is demonstrated on the example of the attitudes toward physical education (ATPE). Data were collected from high school students (n = 1157) nested within PE classes (m = 87). A different factor structure of ATPE was determined at the student level (within-group) and at the PE class level (between-group). At the within-group level, Wear's four-factor theory of ATPE was confirmed. However, the existence of two wording factors (positive and negative) and the school PE-related factor was indicated. At the between-group level, the resulting three-factor model exhibited only a marginal fit. The structure of theoretical concepts and their indicators was indistinct, because the items were originally developed to measure ATPE at the within-group level. The analysis included four cases: (1) single-level continuous, (2) multilevel continuous, (3) single-level ordinal, and (4) multilevel ordinal. All four approaches were compared in terms...

(EN) Title: The process of pilot standardization of the Czech version of the questionnaire SERVQUAL for the sports services indurty. Objectives: This paper focus is to initiate the standardization process of the Czech version of the SERVQUAL questionnaire for fitness and recreational sport and prepare the ground for its future use in practice. Methods: First was SERVQUAL questionnaire translated into Czech language and distributed to two fitness centers during six months period. Then using Generalizability theory and faktor analysis the reliability and internal structure of this instrument was examined. Results: Provides information about use of this instrument in assesing service quality of fitness centers in Czech republic . Proposes recommendations for further modification and use the questionnaire in the Czech environment. Key words: Service quality, Measurement of service quality, Generalizability theory, Factor analysis. This research was supported by the Grant agency of Charles University, project no. 267811 Measuring sport services quality in fitness industry
