By purchasing malting barley the quality is evaluated according to standards, techniques, laboratory methods and qualitative indicators, which are set by norm. Evaluation of quality of barleycorn as a material for producing malt is used for setting the price, observing changes of the quality during storing etc. There were evaluated qualitative indicators of 13 sorts of malting barley, which were bought by company ZZN Pelhřimov between 2010-2014 from farmers, agricaltural cooperatives and companies and also self-employed farmers from the region Vysočina. These sorts were represented by different number of samples in connection with bought-up amount and number of supplies of each sort. Weighted averages were counted from results. Average figures of results of analysis were compared with the national average. Research institute of brewer´s and orchardist a.s. in Brno deals with monitoring of quality of malting barley in the Czech Republic and it evaluates annually ca. 500 harvest samples which were received by producers from all regions in the Czech Republic. The quality of malting barley showed a big variability in all parameters across all types and also in particular years. Malting quality is influenced by many factors especially by course of weather in each particular year. Limiting parameter of quality by purchasing malting barley was N- substances content in barleycorn. Germination capacity seems to be the most stable from all parameters. Lower figures of germination capacity were found only by winter types in connection with longer period of ripening after harvest.

The search for education quality has emerged so growing in recent years. It has noticed a major concern before the current educational picture by the society, government, professors and students. This study searched to evaluate the satisfaction of the students of the Department of Statistics of the Federal University of Santa Maria about the professors perfomance, the infrastructure offered to the discipline of Statistics, it is also evalvate the degree of importance assigned by the student to these aspects. The development of the work is based on literature research and field, with qualitative approach. The data collection was conducted through a closed questionnaire, based on the Likert scale, with responses ranging into five levels of satisfaction/importance. For the data analysis, was used the tools of multivariate analysis, including cluster analysis (which has summarized the information in profiles of some groups formed by courses that had a similar behavior) and factor analysis (which enabled the validation of a research tool). It was used even the descriptive statistics for characterization of the courses and analysis of variance that allowed verify the difference among the answers to the questions by each group of courses. During the evaluation about the satisfaction with the work of the professor, the infrastructure and the discipline, could be observed that the issues presented the group 4, with Zootechnics, Archivist and Electrical Engineering courses, with a higher level of satisfaction. In the opposite, it has been the group 2, formed by Psychology and Odontology with the lowest levels of satisfaction. In some variables, the group 3, formed by Economics, Social Sciences, Geography, Chemical Engineering, Agriculture, Pharmacy, Medicine, Administration and Veterinary Medicine, showed up statistically equal to the group 4. For the other issues, the group 1, formed by Forestry Engineering, Civil Engineering, Physical Education and Computer Science and group 3 had an intermediary degree of satisfaction. In evaluating the importance of variables, could be noticed a good degree of importance gave to these variables by all groups of courses. The validation of the questionnaire of satisfaction suggested the elimination of two variables that had little relevance. The twenty-one other variables in the instrument were grouped into four distinct groups of variables: didactic-pedagogic capacity of the professor; organization/ responsibility presented by the professor; infrastructure offered, and discipline of Statistics, providing greater uniformity among the variables within each group. / A busca por qualidade na educação tem surgido de forma crescente durante os últimos anos. Percebe-se uma maior preocupação diante do atual quadro educacional por parte da sociedade, governo, professores e alunos. A presente pesquisa buscou avaliar a satisfação dos alunos do Departamento de Estatística da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria quanto à atuação do professor, à infra-estrutura oferecida e à disciplina Estatística. É avaliado também o grau de importância atribuído pelo aluno a estes aspectos. O desenvolvimento do trabalho constitui-se de pesquisa bibliográfica e de campo, com abordagem qualiquantitativa. A coleta dos dados foi realizada por meio de um questionário fechado, baseado na escala Likert, com respostas variando em cinco níveis de satisfação/importância. Para análise dos dados, recorreu-se às ferramentas da análise multivariada, entre elas, a análise de agrupamento (que possibilitou resumir a informação em perfis de alguns grupos formados pelos cursos que apresentaram um comportamento similar) e a análise fatorial (que possibilitou a validação do instrumento de pesquisa). Utilizou-se ainda a estatística descritiva para caracterização dos cursos e a análise de variância que possibilitou verificar a diferença entre as respostas atribuídas às questões por cada grupo de cursos. Na etapa de avaliação da satisfação quanto ao trabalho do professor, à infra-estrutura e à disciplina, pôde-se observar que as questões apresentaram o grupo 4, composto pelo cursos de Zootecnia, Arquivologia e Engenharia Elétrica, com um nível mais elevado de satisfação. No oposto, tem-se o grupo 2, formado pelos cursos de Psicologia e Odontologia com os menores graus de satisfação. Em algumas variáveis, o grupo 3, formado pelos cursos de Economia, Ciências Sociais, Geografia, Engenharia Química, Agronomia, Farmácia, Medicina, Administração e Medicina Veterinária, mostrou-se estatisticamente igual ao grupo 4. Para as demais questões, o grupo 1, formado pelos cursos de Engenharia Florestal, Engenharia Civil, Educação Física e Ciência da Computação e o grupo 3 apresentaram-se em um grau intermediário de satisfação. Na avaliação da importância das variáveis, pôde-se notar um bom grau de importância atribuído a tais variáveis por todos os grupos de cursos. A validação do questionário de satisfação sugeriu a eliminação de duas variáveis que apresentaram pouca relevância. As vinte e uma variáveis restantes no instrumento ficaram agrupadas em quatro grupos distintos de variáveis: Capacidade didático-pedagógica do professor; organização/responsabilidade apresentada pelo professor; infraestrutura oferecida; e, disciplina de Estatística, proporcionando maior homogeneidade entre as variáveis dentro de cada grupo.

(in English): The topic of my dissertation was to create and verify the self-evaluation tool according to the real request of the concrete elementary school. The tool had to assess the satisfaction of the parents of the pupils, which attend the first school. The analysis showed that the existing self-evaluation tools are very complicated, time-consuming and use inadequate software solutions. Moreover they do not reflect the recent change of the criteria that are now used for school evaluation by the Czech School Inspectorate (the Quality School Model). As a result I tried to create the new self-evaluation tool that would fulfil the above mentioned requirements. First of all I designed the online questionnaire with the questions linked to the criteria of the Czech School Inspectorate. The close attention was paid on the data processing to validate whether the questionnaire serves as an self-evaluation tool. In addition the possibilities for improvement of questionnaire design were searched during the data processing. Furthermore I proposed the framework measures for each criterion of Quality School Model and developed simple method of using them for school improvements. Finally I presented the tool to the school management which considered it suitable and useful. In my opinion the results of...

The history of psychiatry is littered with serious failures of governance, to the detriment of mentally disordered people, especially those resident in psychiatric hospitals. Current mental health providers, increasingly focussed on community care, have also struggled to develop effective internal governance systems. Nine peer-reviewed research papers, published by the author (mostly with others) and the wider literature, reveal deficits in mental health governance at a jurisdictional, professional, and corporate level. In this thesis new governance solutions are developed against this background, built on contemporary principles in mental health and healthcare management. A new model of mental health governance is presented, based on the key demands of the strategic and regulatory environment, articulated as rights, risks and recovery. This integrated healthcare governance approach, covering provider policy, staff training and service audit, can monitor and ensure the protection of patients’ rights, as well as those of others; it also promotes the management of clinical risks, and of patients’ recovery outcomes. Rights-based risk-reduction training is the core interventional element of the model, whilst the monitoring element can be formalised as part of a Balanced Scorecard reporting system. This thesis makes a contribution to research methodology, theory and practice in mental health, human rights, healthcare management and governance. The model generates specific propositions for testing in mental health governance, with the potential for application in wider settings of service provision.

Customers adoption of Internet banking has become a widely-researched topic, although it is fair to state that some research gaps still exist. This research aims to fill some of the research gaps by examining the factors that determine the relevant behaviour of three different categories of Internet banking customers in China (i.e. current users, non-users, and discontinued users), and by developing two conceptual models that are derived from different, but complementary, theoretical approaches. The Decision Making Model and the Service and Relationship Evaluation Model are developed in this research. The Decision Making Model is grounded in the technology acceptance model (TAM) and it incorporates an additional construct of perceived value of using Internet banking. Additionally, the Service and Relationship Evaluation Model is derived from the service quality evaluation and relationship quality evaluation literature. Unlike in most other Internet banking adoption studies, these two conceptual models are used complementarily to deliver a comprehensive understanding of customers Internet banking adoption in China. The models are tested using a sample of 614 Chinese Internet banking customers collected via mall-intercept personal interviews based on questionnaires. Partial Least Square (PLS) path modelling and mediation analysis are applied to test the hypotheses advanced in the two models. The key findings of this research show that perceived value is a major factor for explaining customers Internet banking adoption, thus indicating to the banks that they should reduce costs associated with using Internet banking while providing more (perceived) benefits to customers; the importance of incorporating perceived value in Internet banking adoption model(s) is also demonstrated. The findings also confirm that perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use are important factors that determine the adoption of Internet banking by all categories of customers. Current users and non-users perceptions of their behavioural control over using Internet banking contribute to their adoption of Internet banking, and such control perceptions are shaped by self-efficacy, perceived government support and technological support. Additionally, it is demonstrated that both current users and discontinued users perceived value and perceived service quality of Internet banking have positive associations with their satisfaction with Internet banking, which lead to their Internet banking adoption. Moreover, the findings reveal that current users are more likely to continue with Internet banking if they are affectively committed to their banks; they are less likely to continue with Internet banking if they are calculatively committed to their banks due to the costs associated with leaving the banks. These therefore indicate the importance of establishing high-quality customer-bank relationships and placing less strict switching cost barriers that impose less pressure on their existing customers. This research contributes to the Internet banking adoption literature by (i) identifying the important category of Internet banking discontinued users, apart from current users and non-users; and (ii) using two complementary conceptual models, which are grounded in different theoretical streams, to investigate the relevant adoption behaviour of all three categories of Internet banking customers. It hence delivers a comprehensive understanding of personal customers adoption of Internet banking in China.
