I study retail prices of sport goods for a particular multinational producer across European countries and in the USA to examine behaviour of the law of one price. Although average prices across all goods in the sample differ only slightly across most of the countries, I find significant price differences for individual goods for almost each country pair, including a group of the states that are generally considered as relatively integrated. The conducted analysis has not confirmed that these differences are caused primarily by various distribution costs. The computed relative prices across products vary significantly once compared internationally even within a group of similar goods of which distribution costs should be the same. The price variation, which prevails even when costs are excluded, points to the existence of strategic pricing and lagging arbitrage.

The chosen methodology is based on semistructured, in depth interviews with: two female judges, one male judge, one male prosecutor and two public defenders, all from the town of Rio das Pedras (fictional name), situated on the country side of São Paulo. Professionalism, as understood especially through the views of Eliot Freidson (1996) and Julia Evetts (2006), contributes to the analysis of why some careers provide more opening than others to the numerical growth of women on their ranks. It is also useful when thought as discourse to observe the subjective negotiations between lawyers when constructing their perceptions about the careers they are part of. The central hypothesis is that as professionalism gets consolidated, the flexibility to female participation grows. Gender, understood as performatic by Judith Butler (2002) on her contributions get interspersed with professionalism, constructing identities and subjectivities that agree with the careers discourse. / Utilizando-se do conceito de profissionalismo a pesquisa tem como objetivo analisar o impacto da crescente participação feminina nas carreiras jurídicas sobre as subjetividades e as negociações identitárias. A metodologia escolhida se baseia em entrevistas semiestruturadas em profundidade com duas juízas, um juiz, um promotor de justiça e dois defensores públicos da cidade de Rio das Pedras (nome fictício) no interior de São Paulo. O profissionalismo entendido especialmente pelas óticas de Eliot Freidson (1996) e Julia Evetts (2006) contribui para analisar por que algumas carreiras possuem uma maior abertura para o aumento quantitativo de mulheres em seu quadro de composição. É também útil quando pensado como discurso para observar as negociações subjetivas entre operadores e operadoras do direito ao construírem suas percepções sobre as carreiras a que fazem parte. A hipótese central é de que quanto mais consolidada a instituição nos moldes do profissionalismo maior a flexibilidade para a participação feminina. O gênero, entendido como performático pelas contribuições de Judith Butler (2002), se intercala com o profissionalismo construindo identidades e subjetividades concordantes com o discurso das carreiras.

The subject of this paper is an analysis of the fundamental principles of Spinoza's ontology, as presented primarily in the first book of Ethics. There is a parallel effort to outline a conceptual scheme, which could render this ontology in a well arranged manner. The heart of the text consists in a study of some of the important metaphysical categories, that define the space of Spinoza's substantial ontology. Namely the concepts of quantity and difference, existence and causality, immanence and finiteness. These categories represent somewhat generalised line of argumentation, in the course of which some of the traditional problems of the research in Spinoza's metaphysics will be covered. For example, the problem of shared attribute or the question of the substance-attribute relation. In the final part this will lead to an interpretation, based on the previous findings, of how nature follows from God and relates to him. 1

This thesis is focused on operations with company that are defined in the Czech accounting standard No. 011 and their booking in the company accountancy. Operations with company bring a lot of specialities in the sphere of economy, accountancy, justice and taxation, that cannot be find in other spheres. These operations take very long time. The Czech accounting standard No. 011 is a directory statute recommending how to account operations with company. The Comercial Code and the Civil Code contain juridical aspects of transactions with company. Man have to known the tax problems of operations with company too. Operations with company may seem very difficult but on the other side man can dispose of the whole firm on the basis of one contract. It is easy, comfortable, fast, cheaper and profitable. Man can find selling of company and hiring of company in the praxi in the practical part of the thesis. Problems of operations with company are presented by SACH, spol. s r. o. and Podblanicko Louňovice, a. s. Both companies account transactions with company according to the Czech accounting standard No. 011. A reader can find impacts of the operations on the balances and statements of income of SACH, spol. s r. o. and Podlanicko Louňovice, a. s. in the practical part.

Estes tipos de problemas apresentam muitas dificuldades analíticas e numéricas, normalmente devido à evolução no tempo ou fronteira móvel. Como a solução analítica é muito difícil de obter, é importante o estudo de métodos numéricos que permitam a busca de uma solução aproximada da solução exata para tais tipos de problemas. Estuda-se leis de conservação e os tipos de soluções associadas ao Problema de Riemann, essencialmente leis de balanço que expressam o fato de que alguma substância é conservada. O estudo desta teoría é importante porque frequentemente as leis de conservação aparecem quando nos problemas parabólicos são desprezados os termos difusivos de segunda ordem. Apresenta-se também um método numérico que é uma variação do método de Newton para resolver sistemas não lineares. O método é baseado num esquema de diferenças finitas implícito e um algoritmo de complementaridade não linear, FDA–NCP. O método dado tem a vantagem de fornecer uma convergência global em relação ao método de diferenças finitas com o método de Newton que só tem convergência local. A teoria é aplicada ao modelo de difusão de oxigênio num tecido e ao modelo de combustão de oxigênio in situ, os dois modelos são problemas parabólicos linear e não linear respectivamente e que podem ser reescritos na forma de problema de complementaridade. O primeiro modelo que pode ser aplicado no tratamento de células cancerígenas conduz a um problema de fronteira livre enquanto no segundo modelo, consideramos um processo unidimensional de injeção de ar dentro de um meio poroso que contém inicialmente combustível sólido e onde ocorre combustão gas–sólido, assim o modelo envolve a lei de balanço do calor, lei molar do combustível e a lei de gases ideais. Além disso, estuda-se a onda térmica e a onda de combustível associadas. / Some parabolic problems can be rewritten in complementarity form and appear in many applications such as liquid flows within a domain, diffusion, heat flow involving phase change and chemical reactions. These types of problems have many analytical and numerical difficulties, usually due to the evolution in time or moving boundary. Since the analytical solution is very difficult to obtain, so it is important to study numerical methods that allow the search for an approximate solution of the exact solution for these types of problems. We study the conservation laws and the types of solutions associated with the Riemann Problem, these types of laws are essentially balance laws that express the fact that some substance is balanced. The study of this theory is important because the conservation laws often appear when the parabolic problems are neglected the diffusive terms of second order. It also presents a numerical method which is a variation of the Newton’s method for solving nonlinear systems, the method is based on an implicit finite difference scheme and an algorithm complementary non-linear FDA–NCP. The given method has the advantage of providing a global convergence with respect to the finite difference method with Newton’s method which has only local convergence. The theory is applied to the model difussion in tissue of oxygen and oxygen combustion model in situ, this two models are linear and nonlinear parabolics problems respectively and which can be rewritten in the form of complementarity problem. The first model that can be applied in the treatment of cancer cells leads to a free boundary problem, while the second model, consider a one-dimensional process of air injection inside a porous medium initially containing solid fuel and where combustion occurs gas - solid thus the model involves the heat balance law, law and the fuel molar ideal gas law, in addition, studies the thermal wave and the wave associated fuel.

In my thesis I will focus on issue of changes in current Czech family roles and status. Main objective of my thesis is to cover essential roots of these changes. This topic was covered by me on basis of statistical and demogarfical data published in professional press as well as on individual study of independent sources. Changes in the family values are also caused by interchanging roles of men and women, their individual participation in operation, education and economic welfare of a family. These topics are also covered in the paper.These issues will be analyzed in regard of social mobility and unequality of particular family members, which influences theis social nad cultural capital, as well as consecuent ability to assert themselves in labour market. Changes in economic and social conditions have influenced family life very substantially, thus, partial task of my diploma thesis will be research focused on whether or not, in economicaly and socialy deprived regiones with relatively high unemployment, there are changes in family life influenced by disadvantegous social and economic conditons of a particular family dwelling area. My conception of this diploma thesis should contribute to understanding of development of a Czech family in contemporary social-economic and geopolitical development of Czech Republic in new millenium.

The aim of the thesis is to identify and analyze the utilization and implementation of the existing infrastructure support for rural tourism in the Czech Republic on the example of Rural Development Program of the CR, actions III.1.3. The theoretical part deals with the definition of tourism infrastructure, tourism as one of the factors of regional development and the potential to promote tourism with a focus on its infrastructure. The practical part is focused on promoting tourism within the Rural Development Program of the CR. At the micro level there are assessed subsidies for the period 2007-2010. The source for analyzing is the data obtained from publicly available databases of the State Agricultural Intervention Fund and interviews with representatives of the regional offices of the intermediate body (SAIF). In this thesis descriptive, comparative and analytical methods are used. The character of the gained data is both primary and secondary. The main contribution of this work, based on the findings, is evaluation of the use of subsidies to support the tourism infrastructure within the Rural Development Programme of the CR - Encouragement of touristic activities during the 1st half of the current programming period.

This diploma thesis deals with problematics of the radial force effect on the runner and possibilities of the force reduction. Some pump modifications were proposed and changes of radial force magnitude in reverse blocking state and optimal flow state were examined in consequence. Following investigation was focused on the new modifications regarding to the pump efficiency and its characteristics stability. All results were carried out using the Solidworks, the Fluent and the Microsoft Excel software.

Metal music is a term that currently serves as a designation for a plethora of different subgenres. The main goal of this work is to find a process that is shared between given subgenres of metal music. The search is based on the non-essentialist position of Gilles Deleuze's philosophy of difference. For this reason, the first focus of the work is extensive excursion into this philosophy, to which it devotes it's first chapter. In it, through analysis of Difference and Repetition, it creates a thought and conceptual basis for the processual perception of ideas as multiplicities, a position that makes it possible to examine the process of becoming. From this position, the second chapter focuses on metal music and it's main characteristic quality - heaviness, and examines the ways in which music can become heavy. Keywords: Gilles Deleuze, metal music, heaviness, difference, becoming, multiplicity, intensity

The thesis attends to the mathematical charts constructing of additive triad of pupils on 1st grade of the primary school by means of two mathematical - didactic settings "The Neighbours" and "The Coloured Trio". They occure in mathematical textbooks created by prof. RNDr. Milan Hejný, CSc., RNDr. Darina Jirotková, Ph.D., PhDr. Jana Slezáková, Ph.D. and their colleagues and which are published by Fraus. In my thesis I shall attend to the theoretical pieces of knowledge in the given mathematical area as well as to the reasons for the creation of the new mathematical teaching concept after the czech educational reform. Mathematical tasks from the two appointed settings will be handed in to the pupils to be solved. The pupils will encounter such tasks for the first time. It shall be observed how they are able to cope with the given tasks and if they will be able to infiltrate the problem of the tasks or to invent their own tasks. Further on the thesis shall attend to the means of solutions of similar tasks by the students of The Pedagogical Faculty of the Univerzita Karlova and to the analysis of their comments on the tasks.
