This dissertation examines the possibility of private sector involvement in financing the Czech prison system. In the Western World, this form of provision has now become common practice. The paper explores the possibilities of both full and partial participation of the private sector in the provision of one of the restrictive services that in the Czech Republic are delivered exclusively by the state. The theoretical section discusses different alternatives regarding the financial provision through public-private partnerships (PPP projects). These are viewed as part of a wider and comprehensive area of public contracting. Due to the absence of this form of provision in the Czech Republic, all information regarding this alternative has been sourced from foreign prison systems where private forms of prison service have a long tradition (e.g. the concept of privatization by Charles Logan). The findings are then applied and compared with the foundations of the Czech prison system (whose primary role is security and specialist provision) with respect to the economic efficiency of the whole system. A case study is presented which outlines different projections regarding operating costs in a sample of three American prisons with the aim to compare the estimated and real costs depending on the form of provision, i.e. by state or through private management. The research section of the dissertation uses data from the Feasibility study of building a private prison in the Czech Republic. Using calculated values, CBA analysis is employed to evaluate three possible alternatives of financing the construction of a private prison. To evaluate the costs, the following methods were used: the Public Sector Comparator, the DBFO model (Design -- Build -- Finance -- Organize) and the BOT model (Build -- Organize -- Transfer) which primarily utilizes the work potential of prisoners in relation to the increase of return on investment in penitentiary provision. The results of the BOT model showed that the mere existence of participation of a private partner in the Czech prison system can be beneficial as it introduces an important element of competition and basic principles of market economy into the system. However, greater efficiency can only be achieved provided that a more efficient system of settlement of outstanding debts of prisoners is employed. This requires a more sophisticated policy for employing prisoners.

The work deals with economics and technological feasibility of the business plan, which is the sale of meat to feed the dogs. The theoretical part presents the structure of the feasibility study, which then corresponds to the practical part. The practical part shows that the intention is suitable for investment as it is both economical and technologically feasible.

Introduction: Oral mucositis is an inflammatory and frequently ulcerative side effect of cancer therapy, which has been identified by patients as the most debilitating side effect of their treatment. Mucositis is a dose limiting toxicity which exerts a substantial clinical and economic impact and negatively affects patient quality of life. The patient experience of mucositis is under-reported in the literature. To date, no interventions have been identified that have proven successful in the prevention of mucositis for patients receiving all types of therapy. Vitamin E has shown conflicting results in clinical trials. This thesis combines appraisal of the literature and empirical research,and uses lessons learned from previous studies together with the results of a feasibility study to identify a best practice model for future trials. Methods: The Cochrane risk of bias (ROB) instrument was used to assess the ROB in the studies included in the Cochrane prevention review. A sensitivity analysis was conducted after studies assessed at unclear or high risk of overall bias were excluded. A systematic review of assessment instruments was conducted which identified 50 instruments. Consideration of the appropriateness of these instruments for the use in a clinical trial for the prevention of mucositis was based on the practicality, comparability, and reproducibility, and the impact of these instruments on patients. Three of these instruments were chosen for use in a clinical trial of adults undergoing stem cell transplant. Finally, a feasibility study was designed, developed and conducted which investigated vitamin E for the prevention of mucositis in patients undergoing conditioning for bone marrow transplantation. Through lessons learned from previous studies, consultations with medical professional, the MHRA, ethics committee and suppliers, a protocol was developed for a double blind RCT. The process of gaining MHRA and ethical approval, and the repackaging of intervention and placebo products to meet MA-IMP requirements are described. Results: 130 articles were assessed for risk of bias. Only ten studies were assessed as being at low overall risk of bias. Blinding of outcome assessors and adequate allocation concealment were identified to be important considerations in the planning of future studies. Although only nine patients were recruited into the feasibility study, a number of issues affecting the design and conduct of future trials were identified. Recruitment in particular was identified to be problematic. Strategies for overcoming this problem in future trials were discussed. The methods of blinding and allocation concealment employed were found to be feasible for use in future trials. Expected adverse events patients undergoing stem cell transplantation were also reported. Conclusion: Further studies are required to investigate interventions for the prevention of mucositis. It is of upmost importance that these trials are rigorous in both their methodology and subsequent reporting in order to elicit the maximum benefit for patients taking part in clinical trials, and future patients undergoing therapy for cancer.

This thesis will describe the problematic of feasibility studies on the base of available literature. Main aim of this diploma thesis is to create feasibility study for the author's own project and to confirm or refuse the basic hypothesis.

This Master's thesis aims to perform a post-project appraisal of investment project under which it characterizes the quality of preparation, project evaluation and risk analysis in the form of feasibility study and specifies the objectives and content of post-project appraisal of investment project as a tool for learning from past mistakes and successes of investment projects. Within the achievement of the basic objective the thesis deals with the finding causes of variance between planned and actual project results through the usage of knowledge gained from the post-project appraisal and verification of benefits of its implementation. The thesis also processes through the gained knowledge of the post-project appraisal recommendations for improving the quality of the preparation, evaluation and risk analysis of similar projects in the future.

The thesis deals with the assessment of the investment project of the National Football Stadium through feasibility study. It covers market analysis, marketing mix, technical solution, outlines the financial plan and calculations of efficiency indicators.

Das Kompetenzzentrum für kommunale Infrastruktur Sachsen führte in Kooperation mit Partnerschaften Deutschland deshalb die Veranstaltung „Rechenmodell für Wirtschaftlichkeitsuntersuchungen 2.0 – Beschaffungsvarianten standardisiert vergleichen“ durch. In dem Einführungsworkshop wurde den Teilnehmern das Rechenmodell für Wirtschaftlichkeitsuntersuchungen so vorgestellt, dass sie im Anschluss einschätzen konnten, ob und wie sie das Excel-Tool für ihre Beurteilung von Infrastrukturanfragen unter Berücksichtigung normativer Vorgaben nutzen können.

Das Kompetenzzentrum für kommunale Infrastruktur Sachsen führte in Kooperation mit Partnerschaften Deutschland deshalb den zweitägigen „Anwender-Workshop zum Rechenmodell für Wirtschaftlichkeitsuntersuchungen, Version 2.0 “ durch. Den Teilnehmern wurden die großen Potenziale bei der Bewertung wirtschaftlicher Beschaffungsentscheidungen durch das Rechenmodell für Wirtschaftlichkeitsuntersuchungen praktisch erfahrbar gemacht. Die Teilnehmer lernten weiterhin einzuschätzen, wie sie das Excel-Tool für die Beurteilung von Infrastrukturanfragen unter Berücksichtigung normativer Vorgaben nutzen können. Der Workshop vermittelte den Interessenten anhand einer praktischen Übung die Einsatzmöglichkeiten, die Funktionsweise und die Eingabe- und Einstellungsalternativen des WU-Rechenmodells 2.0 und stellte die umfangreichen Dokumentationsmöglichkeiten mithilfe des Tools dar.
