anglicky This thesis analyzes position of trade unions as legal entities, i.e. trying to describe the features of a trade union as a legal entity and its position in the legal system. Study of trade unions from this point of view hasn't been explored too much, trade unions are traditionally seen through their functions as a subject of the social dialogue, yet the basic question of what a trade union actually is in terms of the type of legal entity, is not clear. Qualification of trade union as a legal entity is based on several aspects, each of whom is dedicated to one part of this work. The first chapter deals with definition of collective labor law, which is closely linked with a term trade union. Next part is relatively extensive historical excursion, which allows a better understanding of roots of the current understanding of this topic. Another important aspect of the legal regulation are international instruments, which protect the right of association and concretize particular aspects of this area. This protection is also reflected in the constitution of the Czech Republic. Recently new Civil Code, which has become a key standard for the regulation of trade union organizations, came into force and it is very important to understand the legislative process of this act in which delegates of...

La déontologie constitue, de tout temps, un élément essentiel de la profession d'avocat. Constituée d'un ensemble de règles, dont certaines restent purement coutumières, elle est ce qui fait de l'avocat bien plus qu'un simple auxiliaire de la justice. S'il demeure incontestable que l'ensemble des barreaux français adopte, et depuis très longtemps, une attitude commune sur les principes, en partie dictée par le puissant barreau de Paris, il n'en est pas moins vrai, que les barreaux de province, et notamment ceux du sud-est, ont toujours fait preuve d'indépendance, préférant, bien souvent, l'esprit à la lettre. Leur position en ce qui concerne principalement la recherche de clientèle et la lutte contre les réseaux d'affaires est incontestablement courageuse. La réponse qu'ils donnent au délicat de problème de l'honoraire est novatrice. Les Conseils de l'Ordre, principalement dans le Sud-Est, avant d'être des organes de sanction, sont avant tout des organes de conseil. Ceux du ressort de la Cour d'appel d'Aix-en-Provence font de la conservation des traditions un devoir et de la modération une vertu. / Legal ethics have always been an essential part of legal business. Made up of a set of rules, some of which are merely customary rules, legal ethics lead the lawyer to be more than an aid of the justice. One usually notice the common, very ancient and general agreement of all french Bars on some principles, behaviour partly dictated by the powerful Bar of Paris. However, it’s also true that other Bars, in particular those of the South-East of France from Marseille to Nice, have always shown a real independence in the application of such principles, liking better the spirit of these rules than their letter. Regarding the search for customers and the wrestling against business networks, the positions of these bars is unarguably brave. The solution they give to the delicate problem of the fees of the lawyer are innovative. The Bars’ Councils, mainly in the South-East of the France, besides being organs of penalty for their profession, are especially organs of reflexion ans council. Those depending of the competence of the Court of Appeal of Aix-en-Provence, carry out the duty to defend the traditions and consider moderation as virtue.

Cette recherche interroge les fonctionnements et les formes d'engagement associatif au sein d'organisations de défense des consommateurs situées à Valparaíso (Chili) et en Moselle. Il s'agit ici de comprendre comment, dans des associations institutionnalisées ou en plein processus d'institutionnalisation, l'articulation complexe entre la volonté de former un contre-pouvoir et la nécessité, pour ce faire, de techniciser l'action allant jusqu'à la professionnaliser, agit sur les manières de s'engager dans ces associations. Cette étude s'inscrit à la croisée des chemins de la sociologie des associations, du travail et des organisations ainsi que de la sociologie des mouvements sociaux. / This research questions the mechanisms and the form of associative commitment in consumer organisations in Valparaíso (Chile) and in Moselle (France). The point is to understand how the complex connexion between the will to form forces of opposition and the need to technicize their action so much that it pushes to professionalization acts on the commitment in institutionalized organisations. Thus, this study is at the meeting point of organizational studies, industrial sociology and the sociological studies of social movements.

The legal orders of almost all countries strive to create suitable conditions to ensure basic human need of housing. The aim of this work is to provide analysis and comparison of the protection of rights of members of housing cooperatives and owners in the homeowner asscoiation, both in relation to members of those bodies mutually and among members and the entity. At the beginning I briefly deal with the historical development of the legislation of both institutes, which shows the long tradition of co-operatives in the Czech Republic in comparison with modern regulation of homeowner associations. Subsequently I studied their legal status under current law. The main part of this thesis is contained in Chapter III which provides an overview and analysis of basic rights and their protection. Namely, Section 2 of the same chapter concerns with the rights associated with the creation and termination of membership in the legal entity, where the basic difference is that membership in the housing cooperative is voluntary, while in the homeowner association it is established by law. The issue of transfers of cooperative apartments to private ownership of former cooperative members is outlined. Section 3 is devoted to the method of forming entities will, therefore, the manner of appointment and...

Resume Establishment and development of NGOs in the 90's of the 20th century meant the development of the civic associations as an integral part of the nonprofit sector. Civic associations are associations of citizens to use common activities and interests. These activities can be sport, culture (theater), leisure time activities (Sudoku game) or any other leisure activity. The aim of my work hasn't been focusing on the appearance and disappearance of civic associations, but my job was to describe the basic tax obligations. Tax obligations of civic associations are derived depending on what specific activities the association is engaged. Regardless, civic associations are always tax payers of tax on corporate income (income tax of legal person). This obligation arises from the registration of civic associations on the Ministry of Interior and from any operation. The tax applies to entities based in the Czech Republic. Incomes are taxed from the resources of the Czech Republic and abroad. For sources from abroad is necessary to follow the tax laws and tax liability abroad. Foreign incomes are affected by agreements for the avoidance of double taxation. Not all income is subject to income tax of legal person, if it is labeled as income, may be exempt from the law. These incomes can be divided into income...

Mining association rules is an important technique for discovering meaningful patterns in transaction databases. In the current literature, the properties of algorithms to mine associations are discussed in great detail. In this paper we investigate properties of transaction data sets from a probabilistic point of view. We present a simple probabilistic framework for transaction data and its implementation using the R statistical computing environment. The framework can be used to simulate transaction data when no associations are present. We use such data to explore the ability to filter noise of confidence and lift, two popular interest measures used for rule mining. Based on the framework we develop the measure hyperlift and we compare this new measure to lift using simulated data and a real-world grocery database. / Series: Research Report Series / Department of Statistics and Mathematics

Master of Science / Department of Journalism and Mass Communications / Robert C. Pearce / The K-State Alumni Association has the highest percentage of graduates in the Big 12 who are members of the association. As a result, there is a strong network of alumni spanning more than 150,000 living alumni internationally and throughout the United States. This project seeks to utilize the relationship management theory to review current marketing strategies and develop new strategies to increase retention rates of alumni to the association after their one free year of membership, a gift provided to undergraduate students by their perspective college. The focus of the relationship management theory is about building personal relationships, which is in line with the K-State Alumni Association’s mission statement, “Enhancing our Kansas State University family through lifelong involvement.” The recommendations were created to assist the efforts of the Alumni Association to continue to reach out to alumni to meet them where they are at by utilizing media and new programs.
