This Diploma Thesis with a title "Future parents' way to foster care with a focus on adoption" has got two main parts. The theoretical part presents a basic approach on the issue of substitute care - family one as well as institutional one. It emphasizes its risks and also its advantages. One of the chapters describes the complete process of adoption, all steps, which applicants must get through and it emphasizes pitfalls of each step. The practical part is based on the theoretical part and it is in a form of an experimental probe. In the practical part there are presented the results of data analysis, which goes from semi-structured interviews with adoption applicants. The Thesis presents a complete overview of the issue of adoption and it also introduces not much discussed topic of direct adoption in the Czech Republic. Key words: Substitute Care, Foster Care, Forms of Foster Care, Institutional Care, Adoption, Direct Adoption, Parents' Approval to Adoption, "Legally Free" Child, Adoption Applicant

This PhD thesis, after a brief introductory historical exposé of water use (not only) in our territory and related sources of law focuses on decision making and processes in water use in contemporary Czech legislation. The topic is divided into three blocks, relating to integrated water management procedures, a general measure of water law and other acts pursuant to the Water Act. The introduction precedes the chapter on system of water authorities, which are crucially involved in the exercise of state administration under the Water Act. PhD thesis points to the split competence of the four central ministries (agriculture, environment, transport, defense) as a central water authorities and the other "residual" powers of municipal authorities of municipalities with extended powers as water authorities. The chapter on water management offices is also engaged in the scope of municipal and regional authorities and military domains office, as well as the recently canceled water authorities in charge of municipal authorities. The water management is the administrative proceedings on matters within the Water Act. Administrative bodies (mostly water authorities) there follow the Administrative Code, or in the case of water works and water management arrangements of the Building Act, if the Water Act, which...

Depuis la décentralisation, les prérogatives départementales en matière d’adoption n’ont fait que se renforcer. Cette collectivité territoriale intervient à tous les niveaux de l’adoption, que ce soit du côté de la famille biologique de l’enfant, des familles adoptives, ou encore des enfants adoptables ou adoptés. Le Département est ainsi devenu un acteur incontournable de l’adoption. En raison des nouvelles problématiques liées à la spécificité de la filiation adoptive, ce rôle est encore appelé à se développer. Si, à l’occasion de certaines des attributions qui lui sont confiées, le Département a lapossibilité de jouer pleinement son rôle, il semble qu’à l’inverse d’autres fonctions aient perdu de leur importance en raison des pouvoirs auxquels la collectivité départementale est confrontée. La présente étude a pour objet de préciser le véritable rôle du Département dans l’adoption, que son intervention se situe dans le processus adoptif ou auprès des enfants adoptables ou adoptés. / Since decentralisation, departmental prerogatives with regard to adoption have been reinforced. This local authority intervenes at all levels of the adoption process, be it from the side of the biological parents, adoptive families, or adoptable or adopted children. In this way the department became a key player in adoption. Due to emerging issues connected to thespecifics of adoptive filiations, this role is to grow and expand.If, with some of the duties assigned to it, the Department has had the opportunity to play its full role, it seems that the reverse has happened with some other of its functions having losttheir importance due to the powers which the departmental community faces. The present study was to clarify the true role of the Department in adoption, whether its intervention lies in the adoption process or around adoptable or adopted children

Les relations commerciales avec la Chine s’intensifiant, la conclusion de contrats internationaux est de plus en plus fréquente pour les opérateurs économiques étrangers et chinois. En vertu du principe de la liberté contractuelle, les parties à un contrat international peuvent choisir une loi applicable à leur contrat afin de bénéficier de plus de souplesse, de sécurité juridique ou de neutralité. Cette étude basée notamment sur les actualités juridiques chinoises a pour objectif de donner une référence pratique sur la réglementation des contrats internationaux en Chine à travers la présentation des principes généraux du contrat international chinois, la conclusion, l’exécution et les difficultés d’application des contrats internationaux. Il y est aussi analysé l’application de la Convention des Nations Unies sur les contrats de vente internationale de marchandises, ainsi que certains cas de refus de reconnaissance et d’exécution de sentences étrangères en Chine. En traitant exclusivement des contrats internationaux en matière de commerce international, cette étude pourra offrir aux investisseurs étrangers désirant investir en Chine une vision relativement complète sur l’actualité de la réglementation des contrats internationaux en Chine et ainsi permettre aux parties de bien choisir la loi qui devra régir leurs rapports contractuels envisagés afin de réaliser leurs intérêts et d’éviter les mauvaises surprises liées à la méconnaissance des lois et des règlements chinois en vigueur. / China’s economy has grown significantly during the past thirty years under a policy of socialist market economy. For the purposes of international trade, Chinese international contract law makes reference to western law, while maintaining distinctive features stemming from political influence and Chinese culture. As trade relations with China intensify, foreign and Chinese economic entities are entering into an increasing number of international contracts. In accordance with the principle of contractual freedom, parties to an international contract may choose which law will govern their contract, so as to enjoy a greater degree of flexibility, legal safety or neutrality. This study, based mainly on Chinese legal developments, aims to provide a practical reference on the regulation of international contracts in China by presenting the general principles of international Chinese contracts, and the negotiation and execution of international contracts, as well as difficulties related to their application. It also analyses the manner in which the United Nations Convention applies to international sale of goods contracts, as well as certain cases of refusal to recognize and enforce foreign arbitral awards in China. By dealing exclusively with international contracts related to international trade, this study will provide foreign investors wishing to invest in China with a comprehensive picture of the current regulation of international contracts in China and will allow the parties to choose which law to govern their contractual relationships in order to achieve their objectives and avoid any unpleasant surprises resulting from their lack of awareness of current Chinese laws and regulations.

La gestion électronique des données médicales consiste autant dans le simple traitement automatisé des données personnelles que dans le partage et l'échange de données relatives à la santé. Son encadrement juridique est assuré, à la fois, par les règles communes au traitement automatisé de toutes les données personnelles et par celles spécifiques au traitement des données médicales. Cette gestion, même si elle constitue une source d'économie, engendre des problèmes de protection de la vie privée auxquels le gouvernement français tente de faire face en créant l'un des meilleurs cadres juridiques au monde, en la matière. Mais, de grands chantiers comme celui du dossier médical personnel attendent toujours d'être réalisés et le droit de la santé se voit devancer et entraîner par les progrès technologiques. Le développement de la télésanté bouleverse les relations au sein du colloque singulier entre le soignant et le soigné. L'extension des droits des patients, le partage de responsabilité, l'augmentation du nombre d'intervenants, le secret médical partagé constituent de nouveaux enjeux avec lesquels il faut, désormais compter. Une autre question cruciale est celle posée par le manque d'harmonisation des législations augmentant les risques en cas de partage transfrontalier de données médicales / The electronic management of medical data is as much in the simple automated processing of personal data in the sharing and exchange of health data . Its legal framework is provided both by the common rules to the automated processing of all personal data and those specific to the processing of medical data . This management , even if it is a source of economy, creates protection issues of privacy which the French government tries to cope by creating one of the best legal framework in the world in this field. However , major projects such as the personal health record still waiting to be made and the right to health is seen ahead and lead by technological advances . The development of e-health disrupts relationships within one dialogue between the caregiver and the patient . The extension of the rights of patients , sharing responsibility , increasing the number of players , the shared medical confidentiality pose new challenges with which we must now count. Another crucial question is posed by the lack of harmonization of legislation increasing the risks in cross-border sharing of medical

Shorter product life cycles and rapid product obsolescence provide increasing incentives to introduce newproducts to markets more quickly. As a consequence of rapidly changing market conditions, firms focus onimproving their new product development processes to reap the benefits of early market entry. Researchershave analyzed market entry, but have seldom provided quantitative approaches for the product rolloverproblem. This research builds upon the literature by using established optimization methods to examine howfirms can minimize their net loss during the rollover process. Specifically, our work explicitly optimizes thetiming of removal of old products and introduction of new products, the optimal strategy, and the magnitudeof net losses when the market entry approval date of a new product is unknown. In the first paper, we use theconditional value at risk to optimize the net loss and investigate the effect of risk perception of the manageron the rollover process. We compare it to the minimization of the classical expected net loss. We deriveconditions for optimality and unique closed-form solutions for single and dual rollover cases. In the secondpaper, we investigate the rollover problem, but for a time-dependent demand rate for the second producttrying to approximate the Bass Model. Finally, in the third paper, we apply the data-driven optimizationapproach to the product rollover problem where the probability distribution of the approval date is unknown.We rather have historical observations of approval dates. We develop the optimal times of rollover and showthe superiority of the data-driven method over the conditional value at risk in case where it is difficult to guessthe real probability distribution

The aim of the thesis is to explore the current state of using text books of civics and social sciences based on research at selected primary and secondary schools and to assess positive and negative aspects of these textbooks. The diploma thesis is divided into two parts - theoretical and practical. The theoretical part will define textbook concept and describes its basic functions, requirements, structural components and evaluation. Furthermore, it focuses on the description of the text books of Civics and Social Sciences with former and current guidance of the Ministry of Education, which is commonly used in schools from 1989 to the present. The practical part will include research survey (questionnaire) realised on ten selected primary and secondary schools in Pelhřimov and Pacov. The research will be supplemented by interviews with teachers.

Die studie is kwalitatief van aard en vind plaas binne die diskoers van praktiese teologie. Die pastoraal-narratiewe metodologie wat aangewend is in die begeleidingsproses, en die narratiewe mikrokaarte van onderskeidelik not-knowing, deursigtigheid, ekstemalisering, dekonstruksie, her-skrywe, rituele, die vermyding van 'n taal van tekortkoming, briewe, re-membering, metafore, die skep van 'n gehoor, vraagstelling en reflektering word bespreek. De Jongh van Arkel se onderskeidings vir die pastoraat word indringend bespreek. Besondere aandag word geskenk aan die vierde onderskeiding wat hy byvoeg, naamlik pastorale terapie. Die navorsing is gerig op almal wat betrokke is by die opleiding en begeleiding van diensjaarspanne, asook op gemeentes wat diensjaarspanne huisves. Voorstelle vir die toekomstige opleiding en begeleiding van diensjaarspanne word gemaak. / This research deals with the pastoral accompaniment (by a pastoral counsellor) of a congregational team that does a service year for Christ. The study is of a qualitative nature and takes place within the discourse of practical theology. The pastoral-narrative methodology that is used in the counselling process, and the narrative micro maps of notknowing, transparency, externalisation, deconstruction, re-authoring, rituals, the avoidance of a language of shortcoming, letters, re-membering, metaphors, the creation of an audience, questioning and reflection, are discussed. De Jongh van Arkel's distinctions for the pastorate are discussed in detail. Special attention is paid to the fourth distinction that he makes, namely pastoral therapy. The research is directed towards everyone who is involved in the training and accompaniment of teams that do a service year for Christ, as well as congregations who host teams that do a year of service. Suggestions for future training and accompaniment of such teams are made. / Theology / M. Th.

La presente tesis de investigación tiene un enfoque cualitativo que resuelve el problema de las empresas consultoras, que no establecen un Plan de Gestión de Calidad (P.G.C.) en diseño y dificultan la ejecución de un Proyecto de Edificación.

Les fédérations sportives françaises se sont développées en dehors de toute intervention étatique. Elles disposaient alors de prérogatives propres en vue de l’organisation des compétitions de leur discipline sportive. Il découlait de leur statut associatif qu’elles étaient entièrement régies par le droit privé. Néanmoins, à partir d’une jurisprudence du Conseil d’Etat de 1974 entérinant l’existence d’un service public délégué aux structures fédérales, le législateur consacrera progressivement le principe de l’octroi de leurs prérogatives par le ministère chargé des sports au travers de deux actes : l’agrément ministériel et la délégation de service public. Dès lors que la délivrance de ces actes est synonyme de pouvoirs reconnus aux fédérations par le droit étatique et que la délégation mène à la publicisation de leur régime juridique, cette étude a pour objet de dresser la teneur de cet encadrement des prérogatives fédérales. L’agrément et la délégation entraînent pour les fédérations bénéficiaires, diverses sujétions visant à encadrer leur fonctionnement et qui tendent à réduire leur autonomie. Il s’agit d’un encadrement de nature textuelle, contenu au sein de la législation. Bien que ces prescriptions légales se singularisent par leur application uniforme à l’égard de ces fédérations, l’attribution par le ministère des sports de leurs pouvoirs se révèle hétérogène. L’examen de cet encadrement ministériel, appréhendé notamment au travers de sa politique interventionniste à l’égard des disciplines de « boxes pieds poings », conduit à envisager ses incertitudes ainsi que les pistes d’une réforme de son cadre légal. / French sports federations have developed without any state intervention. They had their own prerogatives to organize competitions in their respective sporting discipline. By virtue of their association status, they were entirely governed by private law. However, following a decision taken in 1974 by the Board of State confirming the existence of a public service delegated to the federal structure, the legislation gradually devote the principle of granting their prerogatives by the Ministry of Sports through two acts: the ministerial approval and delegation of public service. Since the issuance of these acts is synonymous powers recognized federations by state law and that the delegation leads to publicize their legal status, this study aims to establish the content of the framework of federal prerogatives. The ministerial approval and the delegation lead for the federations beneficiaries, various constraints to supervise their operations and which tend to reduce their autonomy. It is about a frame of textual nature, contained within the legislation. Although these legal requirements are uniformly applicable to these federations, the attribution of their powers by the Sports Ministry is heterogeneous. The examination of this ministerial frame, apprehended notably through its interventionist policy towards disciplines of kickboxing, led to consider its uncertainties and the tracks of a reform of its legal framework.
