V roce 2021 bylo na českých silnicích dle statistik Policie České republiky usmrceno celkem 470 osob, z čehož téměř polovinu (46 %) tvořili zranitelní účastníci silničního provozu (chodci, cyklisté a motocyklisté). Problematika střetů vozidel s chodci je značně obsáhlá a závažnost zranění chodců závisí na celé řadě faktorů jako je střetová rychlost vozidla, věk chodce, tvar přídě a mnoho dalších. Cílem tohoto článku je zejména na vybraných kazuistikách demonstrovat specifika řešení nehod mezi vozidlem a chodcem, kdy došlo ke střetu chodce s hranou vozidla. On the Czech roads were 470 people killed in 2021 (according to the Police of the Czech Republic statistics), whereas almost half (46%) were vulnerable road users (pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists). The pedestrian crash risk is a major concern in road traffic crashes and is a comprehensive topic. Pedestrian injury severity influence several factors such as the vehicle collision speed, the vehicle’s front shape, the pedestrian’s age, etc. The article aims to demonstrate the specifics of vehicle-pedestrian crash analysis when a pedestrian collides with the vehicle’s edge.

Kniha představuje aktuální trendy i historický vývoj teoretických konceptů studia neologismů a sociolektismů, včetně paralel a paradoxů v jejich slovníkovém zpracování, tj. otázky vzájemného vztahu neografie a sociolektografie. Na francouzském jazykovém materiálu jsou nastíněny možnosti, jak optikou sociolexikologie přistupovat k neustále se proměňujícím projevům generační či skupinové soudržnosti. Takto definovaná sociolingvistika inovací zahrnuje především modelizaci difuze neologismů, tedy hledání důvodů a způsobů šíření nových slov ve společnosti. Případové studie mimo jiné poukazují na možnosti extrakce lexikálních inovací z generačně příznakových sociolektů a jejich testování pomocí časosběrné dotazníkové metody. Pozornost je věnována také textům rapových písní, které jsou unikátním zdrojem informací o sémantickém vývoji identitárních neologismů.

Pozornost je věnována také textům rapových písní, které jsou unikátním zdrojem informací o sémantickém vývoji identitárních neologismů. The book presents both recent trends and historical developments of theoretical concepts of the study of neologisms and sociolectisms, including the parallels and paradoxes in their dictionary treatment, including the issue of the relationship between neography and sociolectography. Using French language data, the book outlines ways to approach the constantly changing manifestations of generational or group cohesion through the lens of sociolexicology. The sociolinguistics of innovation defined here involves, primarily, the modelling of the diffusion of neologisms, i.e., finding out how and why new words spread in society. The case studies also deal with how lexical innovations can be extracted from generationally symptomatic sociolects and how they can be tested by means of longitudinal questionnaires and rap song lyrics, which are a unique source of information on the semantic development of identitary neologisms.

Prvním cílem této výzkumné zprávy bylo zmapovat trendy ve využívání technologických nástrojů v návaznosti na řešení krize způsobené šířením koronaviru SARS-CoV-2 v rámci stálých členů G20 v období od 1. ledna 2020 do 30. června 2021. Vědomi si limitů tohoto přístupu jsme následně provedli také dodatečnou rešerši bez geografického omezení pro období od 1. července 2021 do 31. srpna 2022. Využívané technologické nástroje byly následně rozděleny do skupin na základě účelů, ke kterým byly využity. Druhým cílem této výzkumné zprávy bylo vytvoření vodítek, která pro jednotlivé skupiny technologických nástrojů usnadní vyhodnocení proporcionality jejich nasazení. Test proporcionality je sice možné provést až v konkrétním kontextu nasazení příslušné technologie za určitým účelem. Námi zpracovaná vodítka však umožní strukturovat hodnocení proporcionality s přihlédnutím k fázi krize a identifikují lidskoprávně relevantní parametry v rámci jednotlivých skupin technologických řešení. Hlavním poznatkem z přehledové analýzy je možnost rozdělit technologické nástroje na pět základních typů (dva z nich s různými variantami) sledujících konkrétní cíle v podobě: 1. Trasování kontaktů s variantami využívajícími (i) protokol Bluetooth, (ii) zaznamenávání pohybu pomocí GNSS, (iii) zaznamenávání pohybu s využitím provozních a lokalizačních údajů, a (iv) jiný sběr a následné předávání informací orgánům veřejné správy; 2. Statusové certifikáty; 3. Bezkontaktní služby; 4. Informování a edukace veřejnosti; 5. Dohled a vynucování omezujících opatření s variantami využívajícími (i) neanonymizované provozní a lokalizační údaje, (ii) anonymizované provozní a lokalizační údaje, (iii) mobilní aplikace, (iv) jiné prostředky dohledu (např. náramky), (v) bezpilotní prostředky, a (vi) kamerové systémy. V rámci těchto typů jsme pak identifikovali technologie, které nejsou za žádných okolností vhodné k nasazení z důvodu jejich zásahu do jádra práva na ochranu soukromí a osobních údajů (např. trasování s využitím provozních a lokalizačních údajů, využívání automatického rozpoznávání obličejů kamerami umístěnými na bezpilotních prostředcích). The first objective of this research report was to map trends in the use of technology tools to address the SARS-CoV-2 crisis within the G20 permanent members from 1 January 2020 to 30 June 2021. Aware of the limitations of this approach, we then also conducted an additional search without geographical restrictions for the period 1 July 2021 to 31 August 2022. The technology tools used were grouped based on the purposes for which they were used. The second objective of this research report was to develop guidelines for each group of technology tools to facilitate the assessment of the proportionality of their deployment. The proportionality test can only be carried out in the specific context of deploying a given technology for a particular purpose. However, our guidelines will enable the proportionality assessment to be structured considering the crisis phase. The central insight from the overview analysis is the possibility of dividing the technological tools into five basic types (two of them with different variations) pursuing specific objectives in the form of: 1. Contact tracing with variations using (i) Bluetooth protocol, (ii) motion recording using GNSS, (iii) motion recording using traffic and location data, and (iv) other collection and subsequent transmission of information to public authorities; 2. Status certificates; 3. Contactless services; 4. Public information and education; 5. Surveillance and enforcement of restrictive measures, with variations using (i) non-anonymised traffic and location data, (ii) anonymised traffic and location data, (iii) mobile applications, (iv) other means of surveillance (e.g. wristbands), (v) unmanned aerial vehicles, and (vi) camera systems. Within these types, we identified technologies unsuitable for deployment due to their interference with core privacy and data protection rights (e.g., tracking using traffic and location data and use of automatic facial recognition by cameras mounted on unmanned vehicles).

This thesis concerns with the prevention of specific learning disabillities of children during their start of schooling, using the predictive test battery. The paper's goal is to focus on prediction signals of specific learning disorders and their timely prevention. Conclusion of our thesis is an up-to-date knowledge about preschool phase, school maturity and preparedness of children, knowledge about sub-function deficits, specific learning disabillities, its manifestation and posibilities of timely prevention. Research part's focus point is practical testing and evaluation of sub-functions with the help of diagnostic material named:"learning and writing disability hazards test for preschoolers." Test is undertaken by a group of six children in their mandatory preschool education year and is followed by intervention targeted at discovered areas with defecits. This group is filled in with case studies. After 6 months of intervention, during which the students started attending primary school, a post-test is performed to evaluate achieved results and compare them with a control group consisting of randomly chosen pupils attending first year of primary school as well. By combining theoretical and practical knowledge, we can define risk factors that allow us to predict specific learning disabilities...

Příspěvek se zaměřuje na hodnocení procesu tvorby webové databáze a závěrů plynoucích z analýz jednotlivých případových studií. Databáze byla vytvořena v rámci řešení specifického juniorského výzkumu 2020 (FA-J-20-6365). Cílem databáze je zmapovat úspěšné realizace dočasného využití opuštěných objektů v rámci ČR a Evropy. Jako počáteční vstup sloužilo 40 projektů z různých zemí Evropy. Klíčem ke srovnání projektů jsou jednotlivé faktory umístěné na kartě daného projektu s možností využití filtrů k výběru projektů podle vybraných kritérií. Tato kritéria stručně definují mj. lokalitu, období vzniku, případnou památkovou ochranu, vlastnické poměry, současný stav, principy dočasného využití, architektonicko-urbanistické řešení a možné varianty budoucího provozu. Ke kartě náleží také odkazy na relevantní informace a obrazová dokumentace. Podstatnou složkou databáze je možnost její průběžné aktualizace, přidávání a editace karet projektů. V neposlední řadě má databáze sloužit jako manuál pro potenciální budoucí iniciátory dočasných využití a majitele opuštěných objektů. This paper focuses on the evaluation of a process for creating a web database and conclusions resulting from the analysis of individual case studies. The database is a result of Specific Junior Research 2020 (FA-J-20-6365). The aim of the database is to map successful implementations of the temporary use of abandoned buildings in the Czech Republic and Europe. Forty projects from various European countries served as the initial entry. A key to the comparison of projects are the selected factors in the table of each project, with the possibility of using filters to sort out cases. These criteria, among others, briefly define a location, period of origin, listed monuments, ownership, a current state, principles of temporary use, architectural and urban design and possible variants of future functioning. The card also includes links to visual documentation and other relevant information. An essential component of the database is the ability to continuously update, add and edit project cards. Last but not least, the database should serve as a manual for potential future initiators of temporary uses and owners of abandoned buildings.

The thesis brings complex description of the freedom of speech in the Czech media environment, while answering the research question of what are the limits of the freedom of speech of the media and in the media when the freedom of speech collides with the protection of the personality rights. The thesis is an interdisciplinary study combining media and legal studies. It emphasizes the role of media in the process of realization of the freedom of speech and it also concentrates on the role of case-law of the courts, which is applying the provisions on the freedom of speech. Special attention was paid to the conflict between the freedom of speech and the protection of the personality rights. First, the thesis defines particular elements (principles) of the freedom of speech on the basis of the provisions of the Czech acts, international treaties and previous case-law of the European Court for Human Rights. Then it examines how such principles have been reflected in case-law of the Constitutional Court of the Czech Republic. It also deals with general description of the protection of the personality rights. Based on the above-mentioned analysis, the thesis designs ten case studies focused on application of the main principles presented in the previous chapters of the thesis to hypothetic circumstances linked...

A prominent place in the spatial arrangement of Czech as well as other post-socialist, Central European cities belongs to 19th century closed urban blocks and the open panel housing estates which were erected during the socialism era in the second half of 20th century. The urban characteristics of these two fundamentally diverse types of residential structures have, as we suppose, a different impact on the sustainable development of the urban area. The amount and character of local greenery, the spatial arrangement and accessibility of the courtyards, the spatial forms of the surrounding buildings and many other factors can influence the ecological stability of the area, its hygienic qualities, the intensity and way of using by various social groups, and also e.g. the prices of real estates. These and many other phenomena indicate the ecological, hygienic, social and economic sustainability of the urban area. The research methodology evaluates specific measureable indicators of sustainability within a range from 0 to 10 points where 5 points correspond to the general standard in the area, 0 points indicate degradation, and 10 points indicate the highest contribution to sustainable development. The survey results are reflected in the overall sustainability index and in the residents’ satisfaction index that reflects the subjective satisfaction based on questionnaires surveys. Článek vyšel v rámci konference WMCAUS 2018 v sekci urban planning. Článek pojednává o průzkumu udžitelnosti urbanistických struktur ve městě Brně.

This bachelor thesis deals with The Support of youth football at the amateur level in Prague. Youth football is run by sports non-profit organizations. The support of youth secures the availability of football for children and youth. The main aims of this thesis is to describe the support of youth football at the amateur level, to discover and understand the real problems that clubs face in running youth teams, and to compare the goals of organizations providing the support of youth football with the goals of clubs themselves. The first part is devoted to the theoretical framework. Theory of Street- level bureaucracy by Michael Lipsky predicts that mainly public service workers, the street-level bureaucrats, have a great influence on the performance of their profession, because they interact directly with citizens in the course of their jobs. Problem indicators and conflicts of goals are often in street-level bureaucrats work. The intention of this thesis is to find out if there are typical problematic indicators of activities of street-level bureaucrats in the Support of youth among public service workers of football clubs. The second intention associated with theory is to find out whether there is a conflict of goals between the clubs and youth football support organizations. To investigate...

GA ZČU SGS-2014-029 We investigate the religiosity of homeless persons in Pilsen. We also test the validity of deprivation theory in the Czech environment, i.e. we test the assumption that people exposed to long-term forms of deprivation have the tendency to incline to some form of religion. We gathered our data through a survey, and the final sample of homeless persons used for the presented analyses was N=181. We compared the religiosity of this sample with samples of the common population of the Czech Republic and the City of Pilsen covered in ISSP 2008 (NCzech=1418; NPilsen=30). It revealed that the religiosity of homeless persons in Pilsen is roughly the same as the religiosity of common citizens of Pilsen and slightly lower than the religiosity of common Czech citizens. It was a strong argument against deprivation theory. However, we did find some support for deprivation theory – common Czech citizens from lower and working social classes were more religious than individuals from middle and higher classes.

The methodology of development of regional case studies of Sustainable Development for Higher Education is aimed at the promotion of the use of practical cases in teaching; it should lead to the development of research tools relevant to local environmental issues and issues of sustainable development of the region, and thus emphasizes the importance of the regional context and specifics. The publication of the cases in the form of open educational resources (OER) enables access to these materials for regionally oriented education at earlier stages of the education system, and can be used for the presentation of regional specifics, and may also serve to promote dialogue concerning the development of the territory between the different social actors. The methodology outlines the procedure for creating educational case studies and shows how they are used in university teaching. Because the methodology is based on qualitative research methods working with direct experience, discussion also addresses the ways and means of creating a knowledge base as an open educational resources (OER), to facilitate the accumulation of this experience. The methodology takes into account the requirement for continuity of learning at different educational levels and gives a brief overview of similar approaches applied at lower levels of the education system; it also shows how the results can be applied in practice. The methods of case study development and use are based on the authors’ own teaching experience, and on its theoretical reflection. The methodology clearly summarizes the assumptions for teaching sustainable development issues from a regional perspective; it offers the possibility of linking university teaching and research with practice, which should lead to an increased competence in addressing local issues of sustainable development in cooperation with universities.

This book is a result of our desire to show how service design works in selected libraries by means of case studies. It is certainly not an overview of everything that is going on in the field of design thinking in Czech libraries. The aim of the examples of use, which are described in this book, is to serve as a source of inspiration and encouragement to those who think about the needs of users in their own libraries.

(in English) The present thesis explores the issue of teaching heritage language learners and returnee students in English as a foreign language (EFL) classes in Czech secondary schools. The aim of the thesis is to examine the experiences of heritage language learners and returnees in the EFL classroom, their strengths and weaknesses in English, their attitude towards English language learning in terms of potential anxiety and motivation, as well as heritage language learners' wishes in relation to language instruction. These issues are investigated from the perspective of the students themselves. The theoretical part reviews the relevant literature on heritage language acquisition and teaching, and on the effects of experience abroad on language acquisition. Moreover, it is complemented by discussions of differentiated instruction and language education for the gifted, two areas which can prove helpful in terms of finding suitable solutions to the problems encountered by the target population in foreign language classes. The empirical part is qualitative and consists of the analysis of in-depth semi-structured interviews with three participants, gymnázium students from Prague. Insights are provided about the interconnectedness of the students' life experiences, their general beliefs about language...

This thesis aims to suggest the commercial use of geocaching in the Czech Republic, based on marketing situation analysis for the area of options. The first part of this thesis investigates theoretical basics of geocaching and its commercial use, strategic marketing and marketing research. The next part processes several case studies regarding the campaign of some subjects who have already used geocaching. For example, from foreign countries, it is Timberland and Chrysler Jeep, and from the Czech Republic, it is Pilsner Urquell, Staropramen or a project like Stratocaching. Finally, analysis of the market and of the tools of the subject's marketing communication is used to make a suggestion for the commercial use of geocaching. Based on previous findings, it is suggested in detail for the project Museum Fotoateliér Seidel to create two caches with a theme of photos by Josef and František Seidel, in which it would be parts of the set.

The topic of this thesis is change management. A summary of the topic is made in the first part of this thesis so that a reader has the theoretical background to read further. In the second part, the author describes five most important change management methods. These methods are described, analyzed and compared to one another. Five hypotheses about the most influential factors to the outcome of a change project were created out of the analysis. These hypotheses cover the entire span of a typical change project and are tested in the practical part of this thesis. The practical part of the thesis relies on a thorough case studies analysis and interviews. By analyzing the case studies and the interviews, the author was able to judge the validity of set hypotheses and create a set of recommendations for future change projects. These recommendations are based on many real situations and therefore are valuable for future reference. The role of information technology in change management is also emphasized at the end of the thesis.

The bachelor thesis deals with ethics in public relations with specific aim to describe unethcial practises used in the Czech Republic between the years 2005 and 2010. The paper starts with an overview of a history of public relations. Author also focuses on the problematic of ethics in PR, work of various academics and interest groups are mentioned. Specific focus lies on the problematic of code of conducts and its criticism mainly based on the idea that ethical behaviour is not possible to enforce. The paper describes code of conducts of main PR world associations (PRSA, IPRA, ICCO) and of the PR agency Edelman PR. Czech laws and associations are also mentioned with a focus on the way the code of conduct of the Czech association APRA is (not) enforced. The main part of the thesis consists of describtion of unethical practises as mentioned in the media - fake blogs by an agency Bison&Rose to promote "Czech Paypal" in 2007, several cases of financial and material stimulus to attract journalist to press conferences and a misleading information about trains of Siemens. It is followed by 5 interviews with leading Czech PR practicioners, a media expert and a journalist. Summary of the inteviews points out, among others, that it is not rare, that Czech PR practicioners come back to work on the media...

ITC technologie zacinaji v poslednich desetiletich pronikat do různých oblasti spolecenskeho života, jednou z takovýchto oblasti je napřiklad pravě vzdělavani. Nove formy vyucovani nazývane e-learning ci virtualni vzdělavani poukazuji mj. na specificitu vztahu ucitele a žaka. Text Autorita ve virtualnim vzdělavani se snaži odkrýt charakteristiky tohoto vztahu, který je podminěn komunikaci, jež se nemusi odehravat v kontaktu tvaři v tvař. Autorka vychazi z teoretickeho rozboru (založeneho předevsim na relevantnich dilech M. Webera a J. S. Colemana), na jehož zakladě realizovala připadovou studii e-learningoveho kurzu Multiple Perspectives on Globalisation and Sustainable Development, který byl organizovan Centrem pro otazky životniho prostředi UK. V ramci tohoto kurzu je pak provedena obsahova analýza textů, ktere byly publikovany jak uciteli, tak studenty v elektronickem prostředi Moodle, zkoumany jsou i funkce tohoto prostředi. Tato analýza odhaluje, kdo jsou hlavni akteři virtualniho vztahu, a ukazuje tak jeho vnitřni, skrytou strukturu – za ucastniky je kromě nositele autority (ucitele), přijemce autority (studenta) považovano i samotne elektronicke prostředi. Přitomnost prostředi umožňuje, dle autorky, uciteli vystupovat v „akcni“ casti kurzu ve vztahu ke studentovi jako partner a v kurzu jako celku neřidit jeho jednani omezujicim způsobem. Takoveto projevy autority jsou chapany jako možne pravě diky využivani elektronickeho softwaru, který tyto funkce zastupuje. Prostřednictvim něho jsou vytycovany jiste mantinely, ve kterých se může odehravat jednani studentů, vytvařeni hranic je tak zdanlivě nezavisle na ucitelich.
