The diploma thesis provides a comprehensive historical analysis of the relation between the state and the Church and the legal norms that are relevant to this issue and tries to interpret individual key provisions. It reveals the intentions of the Republican legislators to cope with Maltese grievances and the Latifunds, the efforts to redistribute large territorial units to smaller farmers and thus to start economic production. The diploma thesis also focuses on the consequences of the first land reform, which in the end did not fully fulfill the original expectations. For this reason, the legislators proceeded to review it, which is also analyzed in the diploma thesis. It also addresses the controversial question of the nature of ecclesiastical property, which in the past was in another position than it would be after the process of straightening relations with churches and religious societies. The thesis seeks to answer the question whether the concept of restitution of ecclesiastical property respects the concept of land reform.

This work is concerned with the comparison of the entrepreneurship in the Czech Republic and in Austria from the legal point of view. The first two chapters deal with the possibilities of carrying out business as a sole trader and the possibilities of establishing various kinds of companies, that may be established according to Czech and Austrian law. The whole work is mainly focused on legal entities. Private bodies are just mentioned in the first two chapters. The following chapters are concerned with the mostly used forms of companies (legal entities) with regard to the rights and duties of the founders and partners participating in a company. Each part is separately concerned with founding or establishing companies and with the rights of the founders respectively of the owners of each legal form of companies. In particular cases, where the companies have to establish bodies, e. g. the board of directors, the tasks and rights of these bodies are mentioned. Last but not least the practice use of the different legal forms of companies is compared. Enclosures shall depict the great variety of possibilities of carrying out business or establishing companies according to Austrian law and show the main differences between the legal entities.

The thesis focuses on the transfer pricing questions in the Czech companies. The theoretical part concerns the legislative background, transfer pricing determination methodology and related necessary documentation. The practical part contains the performed questionnaire survey targeted at transfer pricing methods, binding consideration, documentation, and experience with the tax search. A specific manufacturing company is then used to illustrate the manner of transfer pricing determination.

Publicly editable knowledge bases such as Wikipedia and Wikidata have over the years grown tremendously in size. Despite the quick growth, they can never be fully complete due to the continuous stream of events happening in the world. In the task of Entity Linking, it is attempted to link mentions of objects in a document to its respective corresponding entries in a knowledge base. However, due to the incompleteness of knowledge bases, new or emerging entities cannot be linked. Attempts to solve this issue have created the field referred to as Emerging Entities. Recent state-of-the-art work has addressed the issue with promising results in English. In this thesis, the previous work is examined by evaluating its method in the context of a much smaller language; Swedish. The results reveal an expected drop in overall performance although remaining relative competitiveness. This indicates that the method is a feasible approach to the problem of Emerging Entities even for much less used languages. Due to limitations in the scope of the related work, this thesis also suggests a method for evaluating the accuracy of how the Emerging Entities are modeled in a knowledge base. The study also provides a comprehensive look into the landscape of Emerging Entities and suggests further improvements.

Thesis (LLM.) -- University of Limpopo, 2017. / Good corporate governance is essentially about effective, responsible leadership. This is characterized by the ethical values of responsibility, accountability, fairness and transparency, which values underpin good corporate governance. After the promulgation of the Kings Code, amendment of the Companies Act and the promulgation of the Public Financial Management Act, it has been shown that most of the leadership and board of directors in state owned entities have not been following the guidelines and principles provided in these legislations and that’s why most of them are in disarray. It is, therefore, the objective of this research to help restore the integrity and confidence in state owned entities and the need to a draw the line between personal interest and that of the company. An appropriate approach will be to conduct training or a workshop, whereby appointed persons can be reminded of how to discharge their rights and duties before they are instated into a particular post.

The submitted diploma thesis focuses on the area of criminal liability of legal entities, which is not only the most controversial area, but also represents the very core of the Act on criminal liability of legal entities. The aim of this work is a detailed analysis of the positive legal regulation of imputability of a crime to a legal entity, focusing on confrontation of provisions concerning the possibility of exculpation, especially section 8(5) of Act No. 418/2011 Coll., with the fundamental principles of substantive and procedural criminal law. Introducing the topic, the concept of legal entity is defined, then the arguments for and against the adoption of criminal liability of legal entities are presented, as well as models of criminal liability of legal entities. At the end of the first chapter, the issue of the scope of criminalization is analyzed. The second chapter is devoted to the positive condition of imputability of a crime to a legal entity. This includes not only the very structure of imputability, but also the individual persons whose acts can be imputated to the legal entity. Furthermore, the following chapter focuses on the negative condition of imputability, i.e., the exculpation, or non-imputation of the crime to a legal entity. The provision regulating exculpation is subject...

En la presente tesis se desarrolla una propuesta de mejora del proceso de otorgamiento de tarjeta de crédito vía call center, así como también la reducción de casos de suplantación de identidad de los clientes en una entidad financiera. El diagnóstico, mejora y control del proceso se soporta en la metodología BPM. Para ello se propone automatizar el proceso de identificación del cliente, establecer un procedimiento ágil de otorgamiento de tarjeta de crédito por delivery, capacitar al personal de call center y establecer indicadores de gestión que controlen el tiempo de atención desde la solicitud de la tarjeta hasta la activación de la tarjeta. Además, se proponen controles en el sistema de registro de datos del cliente, para evitar errores de digitación que se pueden convertir posteriormente en re procesos. Todo ello se ve reflejado en un proceso capaz y rápido que garantiza la disminución del 39% del costo administrativo del área de reclamos, el 63% del costo de mermas por tarjetas de crédito rezagada y el 30% del costo de reprocesos. / In this thesis a proposal is developed to improve the process of granting a credit card via call center, as well as the reduction of cases of identity theft of customers in a financial institution. The diagnosis, improvement and control of the process is supported in the BPM methodology. To this end, it is proposed to automate the customer identification process, establish a procedure for granting the credit card by delivery, train the call center personnel and establish the management indicators that control the time of service from the request of the card until Activation of the card. In addition, controls are proposed in the customer's data recording system, to avoid typing errors that can be converted later in the processes. All that can be reflected in a capable and fast process that reduces 39% of the administrative cost of the claims area, 63% of the cost of credit cards and 30% of the cost of reprocessing. / Tesis

This diploma theses deals with attempts to declare independent states, namely in the case of the Republic of Azawad, Logone and Boko Haram caliphate, which originated between 2012 and 2015. Today, the existence of deviant forms of the state is nothing new, so there are many concepts and classifications that relate to this issue. For this theses will be the significant particular concept of states-within-states by Ian Spears and Paul Kingston and the classification by Bartosz Stanislawski, extended by authors Katarzyn Pełczyńska-Nałęc, Krzysztof Strachot and Maciej Falkowski. The subsequent description of the causes, the way of dominating the area and the events after the declaration of the independent state itself in the individual case studies will lead to a analysis of the way in which the area is administrated or the newly established institutions. Due to this analysis, it will be able to apply the states-within-states concept and Bartosz Stanislawki's classification and then determine whether this application is possible in all three cases. The last part of the work, which should confirm or disapprove the main hypothesis of the work, will then be used to evaluate whether the specific attempts are rather effective or ephemeral projects.

Automatic paraphrase discovery is an important task in natural language processing. Many systems use paraphrases for improve performance e.g. systems for question answering, information retrieval or document summarization. In this thesis, we explain basic concepts e.g. paraphrase or paraphrase pattern. Next we propose some methods for paraphrase discovery from various resources. Subsequently we propose an unsupervised method for discovering paraphrase from large plain text based on context and keywords between NE pairs. In the end we explain evaluation metods in paraphrase discovery area and then we evaluate our system and compare it with similar systems.
