This thesis examines the acculturation process of women immigrant to Czech cultural environment. Acculturation can be defined as adaptation to cultural environment other than the individual was born in. Just like the other phases of international migration, this process is gendered, i.e. influenced by roles, norms and patterns of behavior assigned to women and men by society. Experts have shown that women experience acculturation differently than men. Due to their reproductive role they are considered to be carriers and protectors of immigrant groups' cultural identity and are expected to transmit cultural values to the future generations. The acculturation process' assessment was based on theory of stress and coping. For qualitative research, two groups of immigrant women, from Ukraine and Arab countries, were selected. The main objective of this work was to determine whether the respondents from these countries were experiencing acculturative stress during their adaptation to new cultural environments, how they coped with this stress and also what influenced their acculturation in Czech environment. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with the respondents and were evaluated using qualitative content analysis. Keywords: acculturation, culture, gender, Ukrainian women, women from Arab countries

Předkládaná diplomová práce se zabývá problematikou transakcí s pohledávkami v daňovém právu a to se zaměřením na postoupení a vklady pohledávek a poskytuje ucelený pohled na danou oblast, jak z pohledu obecné právní úpravy, tak z pohledu finančněprávních norem. Problematika je řešena nejdříve v obecné části, kde jsou vymezeny základní právní normy a pojmy v dané oblasti spojené s pohledávkami. Vzhledem k rekodifikaci soukromého práva účinné počínaje 1. lednem 2014 jsou rovněž analyzovány změny, které přináší nový občanský zákoník a zákon o obchodních korporacích. Rovněž je pojednáno o ekonomických aspektech možných způsobů (forfaiting, faktoring, vklad) financování prostřednictvím pohledávek. V aplikační části diplomové práce jsou analyzovány jednotlivé právní normy daňového práva z pohledu zvoleného tématu s hlavním zaměřením na zákon o daních z příjmů, který obsahuje nejobsáhlejší úpravu a pokrývá velké množství odlišných situací v případě transakcí s pohledávkami (např. speciální režim pro obchodníky s pohledávkami). Vzhledem k otevřenosti české ekonomiky jsou rovněž rozebírány daňové implikace v případě účasti daňových nerezidentů na transakcích s pohledávkami. Ekonomická realita se vyvíjí velmi rychle a daňová legislativa nemusí být vždy schopna reflektovat tyto změny včas, proto je velmi...

The purpose of the thesis is to analyse exclusions and exceptions from patentability which is a negative requirement for an invention to enjoy a patent protection. It aims to answer the question why the exclusions are needed and whether they should be preserved as some of them proved to be very controversial. The law and practice of the European Patent Office, the Czech Republic and the United Kingdom are compared with the emphasis on the European Patent Convention and the EPO's case law. In the national regulation, mainly the differences and peculiarities to the European approach are pointed out. The work is composed of four chapters. The first chapter explains the basic concepts of patent law and presents justifications for patent protection. The second chapter deals with various patent systems and reviews the most important international tools of harmonization. In the third chapter, the exclusions are introduced and the distinction between Article 52(2) and (3) EPC (exclusions) and Article 53 (exceptions) is clarified whereas it is submitted that the difficulty posed by the exclusions lies in the interpretation of the words "as such" used in Article 52(3) EPC. The main focus of the thesis lies in chapter four which is subdivided into nine subchapters, each discussing one of the exclusions and...

The purpose of my thesis is to provide a comprehensive view on the issue of discrimination based on sex in labour-law relations. The aim of my thesis is to investigate why discrimination is still present in society despite all the effort made by the international organisations, legislators and non-governmental organizations. Therefore, the main objective of this work is to analyse the current position of women in society, the causes of why discrimination based on sex is emerging and to find out whether the status of women has improved over the decades and in which direction it is developing. The thesis is composed of seven chapters, each discussing different aspects of gender discrimination. The first chapter is an introductory part providing a brief look at the historical developments of the issue in the Czech Republic and abroad. It also examines individual areas of labour-law relations in which discrimination often occurs. The second chapter defines basic terminology used in the thesis, i.e. "equality", "direct and indirect discrimination", "sex", "gender" and "labour-law relations". The third chapter describes various international organisations such as The United Nations, The International Labour Organization and The Council of Europe that are active in the field of fighting discrimination and...

Title: The Evaluation of Managers and Employees' Awareness of the Ergonomics in Office Environment Objectives: The aim of the thesis was a quantitative research to assess the awareness of ergonomics, working environment, office equipment, motor behavior and the appearance of professionally conditioned diseases among office workers, recruiters and management of companies in the Czech Republic. In conclusion outlined recommendations to improve the situation. Methods: The thesis using electronic polling using non-standardized questionnaire, which provides primary data collection. The method is used to analyze the awareness of ergonomic environments, motor behavior in the workplace, the occurrence professionally conditioned diseases and office equipment. The questionnaire was distributed to companies throughout the Czech Republic, a total of 678 employees were contacted, data was compiled from 442 respondents with an average age of 32,6 years. For data analysis was used software Microsoft ® Excel for Mac version 15.20. Results: It was found that ergonomics training and OSH passed only 25% of employees of Czech companies in the research sample. It came up to 20% more employees of national companies rather than international companies of the total number. The data show that the awareness of ergonomics is...

This thesis is devoted to groups as value added tax payers. This concept was introduced into Czech law on 1st January 2008. A VAT group enables persons that meet the criteria required by the VAT Act to be considered a single taxable person, i.e. a single tax payer. The Czech VAT group legislation is based on article 11 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax. The aim of this thesis is to present and thoroughly analyze VAT group legislation in Czech law, and to point out certain pitfalls of this legislation, including its interaction with EU law, and the law of some of the other EU member states. A secondary goal is to assess the rate at which VAT groups are being used in the Czech Republic. The first chapter describes VAT group in EU law, and its introduction into the Czech legal order. The second chapter discusses the requirements that the law puts on members of a VAT group, with extra emphasis on the requirement of close binding of persons, including the membership of physical persons and non-taxable persons in a VAT group. The third chapter deals with VAT group as a subject of legal relations, describing in more detail the concept of a representative member and the responsibilities of a VAT group member. The next chapter takes a more practical...

Due to economic globalization, which is reflected, among others, in the development of international economic relations, it is very common that the companies are doing business in countries all over the world. Even if this phenomena is considered as positive in terms of national economies development, the risk of conflict of national laws and emergence of international double taxation is increasing with the expansion of cross-border investments. In connection with this a number of legal issues arise. In this thesis I decided to focus on the international context of the taxation of companies and their members with regard to the matter of international double taxation. To analyze this issue, the thesis is divided into seven chapters. Firstly, I clarify a general outline of the procedure of taxation of capital companies and their members and then explain the possible negative effects of international taxation of incomes. Chapter one present the reader with the issue of income taxes in the tax system of the Czech Republic, then deals with the concept, their position in tax system and shows how taxes can be divided. This chapter offers a view of the current legislation regarding income taxes, both substantive and procedural legislation as well. Chapter two covers the aspects of taxation of income of...

The zooplankton of Josefův Důl, a large and deep drinking water reservoir recovering from acidification, develop in relation to the improving water chemistry but also predation by salmonid fish re-stocked at the end of the 1990s. Crustacea are represented by small numbers of several species only, and nothing is known about their distribution in the water column. Recently, picocyanobacteria Merismopedia sp. became dominant in the phytoplankton, which hampers substantially the treatability of the raw water. The aim of the thesis is to describe the seasonal dynamics and vertical distribution of Crustacea in the Josefův Důl reservoir, together with parameters of the environment, and to study their possible diurnal vertical migrations in the summer period.

Doctor of Philosophy / Department of Physics / Yurii Maravin / In this dissertation, you will find a study of di-boson production in pp collision with the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector at Large Hadron Collider (LHC). A study of Z+gamma process is performed on the data collected by the CMS during 2011 and corresponding to integrated luminosity L= 5 fb[superscript]-1. The study consists of two parts: cross section measurement and setting the limits on anomalous trilinear gauge couplings (aTGC) between a Z boson and a photon. The measured cross-section of Z+gamma agrees within the uncertainties with the standard model predicted cross section at next to leading order. Having found no excess in cross section measurement, we set the 95% con fidence level (C.L.) limit on aTGC. Another study discussed is a study of a low-scale walking Technicolor model with rho[subscript]T and a[subscript]T production in the fully leptonic fi nal state at 95% C.L. in proton-proton collisions at center of mass energy 10 TeV scenario using Monte Carlo simulation. We conclude that such processes can be excluded with 366 pb[superscript]-1 of data for rho[superscript]T masses up to 400 GeV and the observation would require 2.8 fb[superscript]-1 of data with 5 sigma precision.
