Aging population is a contamporary demographic situation of Europe, which has an impact on the efectivity of the labor market and threatens currently set social and economical system. This diploma thesis explores the concept of sustainable employment, which is one of the solutions of unstable labor markets due to aging workers. The sustainable employment is investigated in the V4 countries. The thesis is based on the secondary data from the European Working Condition Survey (EWCS) 2015. Exploring the EWCS 2015 data, 5 factors of sustainable employment for workers from the 50+ age group are determined. Those are: expressive dimension of work, supporting institutions, working conditions, socioeconomic conditions and work-life balance. Moreover, working conditions for the workers from the 50+ age group in the V4 countries are compared to results for the E28. Namely, 8 areas are investigated - satisfaction with working conditions, work-life balance, age discrimination, the threat of losing job, the difficulty of getting another job, the attitude to remaining at work and the health of workers.

The diploma thesis deals with specifics of working conditions and working environment for employees over 50 years. The aim is to propose recommendations on improving working conditions and the working environment for employees over 50 years and to analyse job satisfaction and the labour market stay of these employees. In the first part of the diploma thesis there is a literary research on this subject. In the second part there is own research, which consists of quantitative and qualitative research. Data from the Share database is processed in quantitative research. Quantitative analysis will be complemented by a qualitative survey in the form of semistructured interviews with employees.

No / Nanotechnology can offer new opportunities in the fight against infection. The aim of current work was to investigate an eco-friendly method for synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNP) which have the ability to load lipophilic compounds onto their surface. Pharmaceutically acceptable hydrophilic lipid (Gelucire® 50/13) has been used as a reducing agent for in situ reduction of silver nitrate so as to obtain silver nanoparticles. Propolis is used as model molecule for loading onto surface of AgNP owing to its well reported broad range of pharmacological activities including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antimicrobial activity. Propolis loaded silver nanoparticles (PLSN) were prepared and characterized for silver content, surface plasmon resonance, particle size, XRD, FTIR, TEM, antibacterial activity and burn wound healing in wistar rats. Propolis constituents were successfully loaded onto surface of AgNP using the proposed conceptual method. The formation of PLSN having size 24.3 ± 2.5 nm was confirmed using surface plasmon resonance, FTIR, XRD and TEM. The combination of propolis with AgNP significantly reduced minimum inhibitory concentration of AgNP alone when tested against Staphylococcus aureus. PLSN gel showed comparable burn wound healing in wistar rats when tested against marketed silver sulfadiazine gel. The use of Gelucire® as solubilizing agent for lipophillic drugs was effectively utilized for loading lipophillic constituents of propolis onto the AgNP. This potentially provides an effective method for the green synthesis of AgNP which can be used to load lipophillic molecules onto their surface whenever such combination is required.

By means of some specific practices organizations have achieved favorable results. At the same time when corporate communication has evolved in Brazil, a new managerial philosophy has been gathering new adepts worldwide: corporate social responsibility. There is a consensus that this is the moment of restoring essences, being guided by common sense, and exercising ethics along customers, suppliers, shareholders, and the community. Therefore, actions that encourage dialogue, transparence and contribution for a better society have been gaining room. This work has the objectives of making a brief analysis about the evolution in two areas Corporate Communication and Social Responsibility in Brazil, and about the contribution of both for the development of organizations. At a second moment, the study is aimed at pointing out how healthy the joining of two concepts can be. Finally, this study has analyzed what was considered as a successful case concerning corporate communication: the strategy used by Petrobras at the episode of its 50 years (October of 2003 through October of 2004). One campaign based upon the company s positive results, specially social work, with the slogan What do want to dream now? . The result was a clear display of the effectiveness of corporate communication allied to social responsibility. A model to be followed. / A Comunica??o Empresarial tem ajudado a melhorar a imagem de empresas nos ?ltimos anos. Atrav?s de pr?ticas espec?ficas, as organiza??es t?m obtido resultados favor?veis.

Introduction: The diploma thesis deals with the topic of prevention of civilization diseases by the eyes of the generation 50+. The incidence of civilization diseases in the Czech Republic is still on the rise. Therefore, the timely and consistent prevention is essential, especially in the areas of healthy eating, appropriate physical activity, and prevention of stress or risky behaviour. Aim: The aim of this work is to point out the knowledge of generation 50+ in the Hradec Králové Region on the risks and prevention of civilization diseases, the generation's attitude to prevention, how they assess their health condition and how they describe their own lifestyle. Methodology: A qualitative approach using a semi-structured interview was used in the research. The research sample consisted of 24 informants at the age of 51 to 79 years. Of these, 16 were women and 8 men. Results: The results showed that the generation 50+ in the Hradec Králové Region has certain knowledge in the area of prevention. Most informants think that the civilization diseases are specific diseases, especially cardiovascular diseases, oncological diseases or diabetes mellitus. In the area of risk factors, the informants predominantly correctly included risk factors for the development of civilization diseases. The most frequently mentioned factors were the lifestyle risk factors, especially diet, physical activity and risky behaviour such as smoking or alcohol. Regarding the area of prevention, most informants think it is important, but not all informants go to regular preventive examinations or preventive screening examinations. The change of opinion on prevention in informants changes with age and after the diagnosis of a disease. Among the informants, the information concerning prevention is most often obtained from doctors, the media or the press and to a lesser extent from general nurses. In the area of health, most informants emphasize the condition of being painless, self-sufficient and mobile. In the area of lifestyle, the research shows that most informants are not interested in a healthy lifestyle very much. However, they try to observe certain principles of a healthy lifestyle, especially in the area of appropriate eating and physical activity. Conclusion: The results indicate areas of prevention about which people should be repeatedly informed and alerted to their importance and possible consequences if they do not observe them. In particular, it is important to place greater emphasis on primary prevention, especially on lifestyle in the form of appropriate diet, physical activity, stress prevention and risky behaviour. Equally important is secondary prevention and preventive examinations and preventive screening examinations, and tertiary prevention, with a focus on eliminating or mitigating the consequences of diseases and improving the quality of life.

<p>Det här examensarbetet presenterar en evaluering av en <em>Klockkorrigerare av klockpulsbredd</em>. Den består främst av en korrigerare av klockpulsbredd (<em>Duty Cycle Corrector DCC</em>) och även en fördröjningslåst loop (<em>Delayed Locked Loop </em><em>DLL</em>). Det finns många olika korrigerare av klockpulsbredden designade förut, de två populäraste arkitekturerna då har varit enkel eller dubbel återkopplings loop. Den huvudsakliga skillnaden mellan dem är att enkel återkopplings loop använder sig av en öppen loop medan den dubbla varianten istället har en stängd loop. I det här projektet kommer en ny arkitektur att presenteras. Konceptet i den nya designen är att dela upp korrigeraren av klockpulsbredden i två delar, en korrigerare och en detektor. Detektorn får utsignalen från den fördröjningslåsta loopen som insignal och talar om för korrigeraren via två utsignaler ifall signalen behöver justeras. Detektorn är uppdelad i två likadana fördröjningselement, som båda är klockade av utsignalen och dess invers från den fördröjningslåsande loopen, fast i omvänd ordning.

The thesis is focused on the actual problém of the Czech Republic, which is the issue of unemployment and higher participation of persons over 50 years of age on the labour market, growing mainly due to demographic developments and prolonging retirement age due to the pension reform. Persons older than 50 years are a specific group in terms of the labour market, which has special characteristics and needs the individual approach The main objective of this thesis is to analyse the labour market of older workers for the period 2000 - 2012 in terms of 4 factors, which are - gender, level of education, specialization and territorial allocations and then compare the disparities of this labour market with the employment policy in the Czech Republic. This comparison will provide the answer to the research question - whether employment policy meets the needs of the labour market of persons over 50 years of age.
