Wissenschaft und Praxis stimmen darin überein, dass Status eine hohe organisatorische Relevanz besitzt. Angesichts dieser Bedeutung und gleichzeitig existierender Defizite in der organisationswissenschaftlichen Erforschung des Phänomens ist es das Ziel der Dissertation, Auswirkungen von Status auf das Verhalten von Organisationsmitgliedern zu erklären und zu bewerten. Es wird untersucht, wann Organisationsmitglieder nach höherem Status streben und wann Organisationsmitglieder mit unterschiedlichem Status ihre Zusammenarbeit aufgrund von Statusdifferenzen einschränken. Die theoretisch-konzeptionellen Analysen indizieren dabei einen Trade-off zwischen dem Nutzen einer Statusdifferenzierung, in Form zusätzlicher Möglichkeiten zur Motivation und Steuerung von Organisationsmitgliedern, und den Kosten der Statusdifferenzierung, die vor allem durch Einschränkungen der Zusammenarbeit aufgrund von Statusdifferenzen entstehen. Eine Untersuchung des Einflusses ausgewählter organisatorischer Prozesse und Strukturen bestätigt diesen Trade-off.

Conjunctural Bratislava is complex regional study which emphasises the topic of identity and social features of the city and its impact on the physical infrastucture and organisation of the city. First theoretical part introduces the Theory of conjunctural city based on connection between hierarchy and dynamic development in broad sense. Second part provides the systematic view of Bratislava, explaining some aspects of the theory (population, economy, urbanism, transportation, culture). Short chapter is dedicated to current conceptual ideas of Bratislava in terms of a city and a region, too. The last part of the study brings a brief prognostic view of main prospects of the city and some possible problems which may occure soon or later. Empirical study in appendix is aimed to Bratislava's hiphop culture and its musical production. I have chosen four songs for the analysis (three local ones and one from Prague hip hop group PSH). Bratislava has been chosen for its uniqueness, being one of the very few remaining conjunctural cities in Europe. Keywords: Bratislava, city, identity, hierarchy, theory, regional development, hip hop

Forecasting is an important data analysis technique and serves as the basis for business planning in many application areas such as energy, sales and traffic management. The currently employed statistical models already provide very accurate predictions, but the forecasting calculation process is very time consuming. This is especially true since many application domains deal with hierarchically organized data. Forecasting in these environments is especially challenging due to ensuring forecasting consistency between hierarchy levels, which leads to an increased data processing and communication effort. For this purpose, we introduce our novel hierarchical forecasting approach, where we propose to push forecast models to the entities on the lowest hierarch level and reuse these models to efficiently create forecast models on higher hierarchical levels. With that we avoid the time-consuming parameter estimation process and allow an almost instant calculation of forecasts.

Die Forderung nach Wirtschaftsdemokratie ist eng verknüpft mit der Entwicklung der Industrialisierung Wie Demokratie in Unternehmen auszugestalten sei, darüber divergieren die Positionen der verantwortlichen Akteur*innen, abhängig von den Wertevorstellungen, der sozialen Position, den Vorprägungen, den Interessen usw. Die gegenwärtigen ‚Standards von Demokratie in Unternehmen‘ haben sich unter dem Begriff der „Mitbestimmung' manifestiert und sind seit der Frühphase der Bundesrepublik nicht nennenswert gesetzlich weiterentwickelt worden. Demokratie bedeutet jedoch keinen vollendeten statischen Zustand, sondern einen dialogorientierten Prozess, mit dem Ziel, die Herrschaft des Menschen übereinander einzuschränken. Für Verantwortliche in Unternehmen ist deshalb Eigeninitiative gefragt, wenn sie Demokratie in Unternehmen i. d. S. beleben wollen Die Erkenntnisse aus der Literaturrecherche wurden in Form eines Leitfadens zusammengefasst um den Akteur*innen ein Verständnis für die Umsetzung von Demokratie in Unternehmen zu vermitteln Die Ausweitung der Demokratie auf den Lebensbereich der Wirtschaft ist ein Ausgangspunkt, um den gesellschaftlichen Dialog über eine nachhaltige Lebensweise zu fördern und die Umsetzung zu legitimieren. / The demand for economic democracy is closely linked to the historical process of industrialization. How democracy should be designed in companies, the positions of the responsible actors diverge, depending on the values, the social position, the preconceptions, the interests, etc. The current 'standards of democracy in companies' have come under the term of 'And have not been further developed legally since the early phase of the Federal Republic of Germany. However, democracy does not mean a perfect static state, but a dialogue-oriented process with the aim of restricting the rule of people over one another. For those responsible in companies, initiative is therefore required if they want to stimulate democracy in companies in the sense of the word. The findings from the literature research were summarized in the form of a guide in order to give the actors an understanding of the implementation of democracy in companies. The expansion of democracy to include the economy is a starting point for promoting social dialogue about a sustainable way of life and legitimizing its implementation.

[pt] Na pesquisa tratamos das dinâmicas do campo científico através da acumulação de capitais e da construção das posições de prestígio institucional a partir dos Bolsistas de Produtividade em Pesquisa do CNPq. Produzindo um recorte da pesquisa do SOCED (Grupo de Pesquisas em Sociologia da Educação), coordenado pela pesquisadora Zaia Brandão, sobre a os bolsistas de produtividade do CNPq, nosso objetivo foi compreender a centralidade de algumas instituições na pesquisa em Educação analisando se existem instituições com o poder de “comandar o jogo” no campo cientifico da área. Quais são as instituições que estão hierarquicamente representadas com poder no campo científico na área da Educação a partir da concessão das bolsas de produtividade? Partindo dos agentes (pesquisadores) traçamos uma configuração das instituições prevalentes nessas trajetórias para conhecer o peso relativo das instituições universitárias na luta por hegemonia no campo da Educação. O objeto da investigação são as instituições na composição das hierarquias científico-acadêmicas a partir das trajetórias institucionais e práticas acadêmicas registradas no Currículo Lattes dos pesquisadores bolsista de produtividade das categorias 1 (A, B, C, D) e Sênior. Trabalhamos em nossa pesquisa com dados de todos os PQ-1 (A, B, C e D) com 170 bolsistas que somado aos PQ-Sr (11) compuseram a amostra de 181 pesquisadores. A análise das variáveis do nosso banco de dados dos PQ-1 e PQ-Sr nos permitiu caracterizar, pela instituição de pertença de cada agente, a hierarquia a partir da: instituição e região da instituição de trabalho dos pesquisadores; instituição de doutoramento; relação entre a instituição de formação (doutoramento) e a instituição de pertença; relação entre os tipos de publicações e as posições ocupadas; a relação entre o poder institucional e os periódicos mais atrativos para os pesquisadores bolsistas e; conhecer as instituições responsáveis pelas revistas mais bem avaliadas, com Qualis A1 e A2. As análises evidenciaram a existência de uma política que reproduz a hierarquia de bolsistas e acabam privilegiando instituições que já possuem razoáveis condições de condução de trabalhos científicos. As instituições do topo da hierarquia revelam o poder de “comando do jogo” no campo científico por meio da definição e manutenção das regras e posse de seus próprios periódicos bem qualificados que contribuem para definir o padrão de cientificidade da área. Tais instituições possuem poder que gera uma dinâmica de maior concessão de bolsas para seus pesquisadores e maior financiamento para as pesquisas realizadas pelas suas instituições. / [en] In this research we deal with the dynamics of the scientific field through the accumulation of capital and the construction of positions of institutional prestige from the Research Productivity Grantees of the CNPq. Within the SOCED (Research Group on Educational Sociology) research, coordinated by the researcher Zaia Brandão, on the CNPq productivity fellows, I chose to understand the centrality of some institutions in the research in Education, analyzing if there are institutions with the power of Command the game in the scientific field of Education. What are the institutions that are hierarchically represented with power in the scientific field in Education from the granting of productivity grants? From the agents (researchers) we draw a configuration of the institutions prevalent in these trajectories to know the relative weight of the university institutions in the fight for hegemony in the field of Education. The object of the research is the institutions in the composition of the academic-academic hierarchies from the institutional trajectories and academic practices the of researchers registered in the Lattes Curriculum of the productivity grants program of categories 1 (A, B, C, D) and Senior. We worked on the research with data of all the PQ-1 (A, B, C and D) with 170 that added to the PQ-Sr (11) composed the sample of 181 researchers. The analysis of the variables of our database of PQ-1 and PQ-Sr allowed us to characterize, by the institution of each agent, the hierarchy from the: institution and region of the researchers work institution; PhD degree institution; relationship between the training institution (PhD degree) and the work institution; relationship between types of publications and positions in the field; the relationship between institutional power and the most attractive journals for researchers and; know the institutions responsible for the best evaluated journals, with Qualis A1 and A2. The analyzes showed the existence of a policy that reproduces the hierarchy of productivity grants and end up favoring institutions that already have conditions to do scientific work. Institutions at the top of the hierarchy reveal the power of command of the game in the scientific field through the definition and maintenance of the rules and they have own well-established journals that contribute to defining the scientific standard of the area. Such institutions have power for a greater grant dynamics for their researchers and greater funding for the research maked by their institutions.

The thesis deals with waste management. The aim of the thesis is to describe and evaluate present waste legislation including amendmets to several waste management institutions and comparison to waste legislation of European Union.

The seventh chapter deals with all operations with waste, and divides them into waste prevention, means of waste handling according to waste hierarchy and other waste...

Mgr. Petr Mareš Land Use Changes Under the Influence of the Process of Societal Integration ABSTRACT The PhD. thesis discusses impacts of a long term process of socio-economic integration on the changing Land Use structure in the Czech Republic and Slovenia and puts forward a hypothesis that "together with the integration of socio-economic relations into hierarchically higher structures, sub-areas tend to be more specialized within every such structure". For the Czech Republic, the main data source used was the LUCC Czechia Database comprising information on 7 Land Use categories in 8 903 CTUs (Comparable Territorial Units, derived from cadastres) in four time horizons 1845-1948-1990-2000 (at the national level) and detailed analyses of maps of four selected CTUs in 1845-2005 (at the local level). For Slovenia we tested our hypothesis using the trial version of the LUCC Slovenia database where data for four Land Use categories had been completed for 2 403 CTUs in 1825-1900- 1961-2002. In order to understand the specialization processes the following indicators were used: the coefficient of variation; the frequency of CTUs in classes of percentage share of selected land use categories and the development of selected different land use categories in diverse areas at the national level (database); then the map...

The popularity of wearing costumes and masks has a long tradition. The phenomenon called cosplay began to be discussed for the first time in the 1980s. Cosplayers are fans of media content that not only wear costumes, but they also try to imitate the character's character on festivals. Some individuals, thanks to their activity, become celebrities themselves within the community. Fans may not always be just a passive group of recipients of media content. This thesis focuses on how these positions can be achieved and how the hierarchy is shaped in the Czech cosplay community. The theoretical framework is based on findings of fan studies. Methods used for data collection include participant observation and semi-structured interviews. The timeframe for data collection is the period from May 2018 to October 2018. For analysis were used the grounded theory principles, namely open and axial coding. The output is a paradigmatic model. This research has brought new information related to the topic of hierarchy in fan communities. Not only has the high activity of the individuals but also the social ties had an influence on hierarchy formation. This work also reflected the Czech cosplay community.
