Taxation of Personal Income (a comparison of the legislation in the Czech republic and selected countries of EU) The topic of taxation of personal income has been chosen by the author of this diploma thesis. The original purpose was to describe and analyze the legislation in two states, Czech Republic and Slovak Republic, which had existed as a common state more than 70 years in the 20th century. Therefore it could be interesting to follow up, what had happened during the last 20 years after the disintegration of the common state. This thesis is divided into five parts (including an introduction and a conclusion), which are generally subdivided into the chapters and subchapters. The thesis was written in accordance with the law applicable on the 1st October 2013. In the first part of the thesis, the author deals with the Czech laws regulating an income tax of individuals. She defines and briefly explains an essential terminology related to that part of legislation including some proposed amendments of the Acts. As a main source the Law on Income Taxes, no. 586/1992 was used. It is important to highlight also the chapter number 4 which is focused not only on the Czech territory, but which analyses the problem with an international double taxation of worldwide incomes of a natural persons, including...

57 9. Summary In my thesis I analyze the legislation on personal income taxes applicable in the Czech Republic, in the Slovak Republic and in a few selected member states of the European Union, with its main purpose to highlight the specificity of the legislation and to state reasons why it is most unlikely to achieve the full harmonization of personal income tax within the European Union. The thesis is divided into an introduction, four main chapters and a conclusion. The Introduction is focused on the reasons of my choice of the topic and I point out the importance of the issue. In Chapter Two, firstly, I analyze the concept of taxation in general, then other individual terms related to the income tax and the specific legislation according to the Act no. 586/1992 Coll., on Income Tax, another tax related legislation, and other specifics of the Czech income tax legislation. Similarly has been continued in Chapter Three, which briefly describes the evolution and the applicable legislation of personal income tax in the Slovak Republic. Chapter Four deals with the harmonization process within the European Union, the methods of elimination of the international double taxation, legislation applicable on this issue in the Czech Republic and mainly it analyzes the personal income tax legislation applicable in a...

The Khovanov{Lauda{Rouquier algebras Rn are a relatively new family of Z-graded algebras. Their cyclotomic quotients R n are intimately connected to a smaller family of algebras, the cyclotomic Hecke algebras H n of type A, via Brundan and Kleshchev's Graded Isomorphism Theorem. The study of representation theory of H n is well developed, partly inspired by the remaining open questions about the modular representations of the symmetric group Sn. There is a profound interplay between the representations for Sn and combinatorics, whereby each irreducible representation in characteristic zero can be realised as a Specht module whose basis is constructed from combinatorial objects. For R n , we can similarly construct their representations as analogous Specht modules in a combinatorial fashion. Many results can be lifted through the Graded Isomorphism Theorem from the symmetric group algebras, and more so from H n , to the cyclotomic Khovanov{Lauda{Rouquier algebras, providing a foundation for the representation theory of R n . Following the introduction of R n , Brundan, Kleshchev and Wang discovered that Specht modules over R n have Z-graded bases, giving rise to the study of graded Specht modules. In this thesis we solely study graded Specht modules and their irreducible quotients for R n . One of the main problems in graded representation theory of R n , the Graded Decomposition Number Problem, is to determine the graded multiplicities of graded irreducible R n -modules arising as graded composition factors of graded Specht modules. We rst consider R n in level one, which is isomorphic to the Iwahori{Hecke algebra of type A, and research graded Specht modules labelled by hook partitions in this context. In quantum characteristic two, we extend to R n a result of Murphy for the symmetric groups, determining graded ltrations of Specht modules labelled by hook partitions, whose factors appear as Specht modules labelled by two-part partitions. In quantum characteristic at least three, we determine an analogous R n -version of Peel's Theorem for the symmetric groups, providing an alternative approach to Chuang, Miyachi and Tan. We then study graded Specht modules labelled by hook bipartitions for R n in level two, which is isomorphic to the Iwahori{Hecke algebra of type B. In quantum characterisitic at least three, we completely determine the composition factors of Specht modules labelled by hook bipartitions for R n , together with their graded analogues.

This research quantifies the mediating effects of consumer satisfaction on the social responsibility dimensions of philanthropy, economics, environmental, ethical, and legal regarding the behavioral outcomes of consumer loyalty while developing a new model (small business social responsibility, SBSR) to measure these effects. The purpose of current study is to provide a contemporary perspective of the influence of organizational social responsibility strategy on consumer behavior regarding three specific characteristics: enterprise size (small business), population demographic (Generation Z), and type of industry (restaurant industry). The questionnaire was developed, modified, and designed to measure the mediating effects of consumer satisfaction on SBSR initiatives and the behavioral outcomes of consumer loyalty. Data were collected from January 15 to March 15, 2022. The sample for this study consisted of 233 students from a large public university in the southwestern United States. The study found social responsibility initiatives do impact consumer behaviors, although not all the initiatives studied had a significant effect on consumer satisfaction and ultimately on consume loyalty. Environmental initiatives had the strongest significance levels on both consumer satisfaction and consumer loyalty. Conversely, the initiatives of economics and legal had no significant influence of both consumer satisfaction and consumer loyalty. The study gave evidence that managers should expect higher consumer behavior levels if they invest in social responsibility intiatives, especially environmental initiatives. As well, the study developed a model for future research which can measure and identify the social responsibility initiatives which small businesses can utilize to influence consumer behaviors.

This piece of work is dedicated to the use of formal methods in designing ERP systems in MSBS Navision environment capabilities research. Theoretical principles of formal and informal specifications and implementation peculiarities are analyzed re various specifications. UML and Z specification languages were chosen for comparison. Also MSBS Navision C/SIDE ERP system design environment is analyzed. A part of “Fixed assets” domain functionality is specified in different languages. Their clarity, precision, and implementation are compared. Formal methods (same as informal ones) have their advantages and disadvantages. UML specification is fundamentally based on graphic representation. It’s clearer, more readable, but its compatibility can’t be unambiguously verified. Z specification language has a mathematical basis. The compatibility of Z specification can be precisely verified. However, Z specification is difficult to read and learn. It’s impossible to validate the specification unambiguously neither using UML, nor Z. UML language is highly applicable for specification and design of ERP systems, because you can specify object-oriented system models using this language, and C/AL programming language is partially object-oriented. Z language specification is only useful for describing particular, sophisticated parts of the system. Z language can also be used for detailing UML specifications.
