This diploma thesis formulates recommendations for managerial decision making while acquiring new vessels. It analyses by means of a quantitative research the possible fuel cost savings achievable by running IFO and LNG powered vessels, their benefits and drawbacks in terms of economical, environmental and sociolog-ical aspects. Subsequently, Payback Periods and IRR of aforementioned fuel types are calculated and questionnaire data gathered. Hypotheses for the questionnaire research are statistically tested and reveal a relation between customers attitudes to shipping companies and their willingness to pay more for the same service with better CSR strategy. The quantitative research shows LNG as the best fuel option for shipping companies, offering benefits in all three pillars of CSR.

The diploma thesis deals with corporate social responsibility especially with education at the universities in the Czech Republic. Its aim is to propose recommendations for the development of Corporate social responsibility (CSR) subjects at universities with an economic focus in order to best meet labor market requirements. The first part of the thesis is a literary research which explains the concept of CSR. One part is focused on the relationship of social responsibility and education. In the framework of my own work, an analysis of the current situation of CSR in education was carried out both at home and abroad. Based on the results of the questionnaire survey, analysis of secondary data and interviews, recommendations were subsequently formulated. It was directed to the greatest possible connection with practice in the form of internships, lectures by practitioners and various projects organized by students themselves.

The topic of this diploma thesis is the regulation of environmental impacts of road transport using tax tools alternative to road tax. The aim of the thesis is to evaluate the tax tools suitable for greening the vehicle fleet and answer the question whether these instruments are more focused on the fleet renewal by vehicles pro-ducing lower emissions or using alternative fuels. Another objective is to formulate conclusions as to whether alternative tax instruments serve as a supplement or replacement for environmental road tax. The result of the work was that use of alternative tax instruments is more related to the use of the alternative road tax and the states are mostly putting pressure on the use of alternative fuel vehicles.

The diploma thesis deals with the environmental taxation aspects of heavy goods vehicles. In the introduction the thesis described the impact of road transport on the environment. In a literature search is presented the issue of taxation of road motor vehicles, with an emphasis on heavy goods vehicles, including theoretical approaches and description and analysis of the taxation of heavy goods vehicles in the Czech Republic and the European Union. In the practical part is based on the findings carried out multivariate regression analysis of selected independent variables on the variable dependent by OLS method, in order to verify the degressive rates of road tax in terms of the number of axles. In order to remove the degressive rates of road tax in terms of the number of axles are formulated proposals for the taxation of heavy goods vehicles regarding to their feasibility and ability to reduce the amount of produced harmful substances.

In this paper, regional allocation of capital expenditure in environmental sphere from the European cohesion policy is analysed. The analysis was performed for the projects financed during 2004-2006 programming period. Based on the comparison of estimated and actual intensities of support (proportion of the total allocation of 22 billion CZK), it was found that the relatively highest intensities of support were allocated to the regions with the medium-quality environment (Liberec region, Central Bohemia, Central and South Moravia), while the relatively lowest intensities of support were allocated to the regions with the lowest- or low-quality environment (Moravian-Silesian region, Ústí nad Labem region, Karlovy Vary region). The analogous conclusions resulted from an analysis of the relative positions of selected types of regions in the overall allocation of capital expenditure, because the metropolitan regions, national parks and protected landscape areas obtained relatively higher intensities of support and, vice versa, the structurally and environmentally affected regions obtained lower intensities of support. The findings of our research allow to conclude that the regional distribution of capital expenditure from public sources was in a contradiction with the strategic objectives of both the...

This diploma thesis examines the impact of nutrition as a vital variable for human health and analyses risk factors involved in unhealthy diet. When incorporated into framework of general principals and broader social context, it is focused on an age group of adults. The thesis is divided into theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part outlines the term nutrition, describes functions of different components of nutrition and energy balance in organism. Furthermore, the theoretical part deals with methods of assessment of nutritional status, description of diet recommendations and evaluation of risks to the health, which can be caused by diet. The practical segment focuses on establishment of dietary habits and spread of knowledge about benefits of healthy and costs of unhealthy nutrition among students attending selected school in Čelákovice. By the use of survey then followed by comparison of surveyed data, this thesis finds insufficient degree of dietary knowledge amongst students of all three fields of study - Graduate pharmaceutical assistant, Graduate social worker and Pre-school and After-school Education. The survey has shown that students have a ground work of theory regarding nutrition and risks regarding unhealthy diet, yet it does not correspond to adherence to healthy diet in...

The following thesis focuses on the long-term consequences of Partition of India on a micro- level. The thesis examines the life-history of a family that has been spatially divided owing to the decision of some family members who decided to migrate from India to Pakistan. Current, and past familial relations as well as the relationship of the spatially displaced family, specifically focusing on the relationship of the Indo-Pakistani family parts have been analysed. The life history is understood as a possible way how to explain Partition. Partition is presented in its broader historical-geographical context, specifically, the decolonization of the Indian subcontinent. The thesis incorporates selected approaches that establish a multi-dimensional framework and its interactions. The critical geopolitical approach explains the political standpoints of former political leaders as well as preconditions of Partition. The New histories approach gives way to personal spoken historical testimonies of family members in both countries, that apply nationalised representations of Partition and family ties. Additionally, feminist perspectives insight into how all three generations of the family understand and perceive topics important to the family's history, including how do they define "home ".
