The diploma thesis deals with analysis of a motivational programme and suggestions for its possible changes of the ALTREVA, limited liability company. The theoretical part of the work concentrates on summing up the basic observations on the topic. The practical part contains analyses of the present state of the company, its competition and the employment market as well as a research conducted with the use of the questionnaire method. The final part of the work provides suggestions for improvement of the current condition based on the results of the questionnaire search and other analyses.

The aim of this diploma thesis addresses issues related to obtaining methodology for the production manager´s decision-making process in the field of technology selection, suitable tooling and cutting tools selection for a specific order or particular production plan. Evaluation of the manufacturing process while taking into consideration complexion of process controlling and contexture to the economy of this process. Analysis and evaluation of technological and economical aspects of a manufacturing process of the CNC chip machining in a real environment is targeted on the field of tooling, its selection, purchase, economy and consumption. The process controlling of technology is based on this analysis as well as the formulation of measuring by economic indicators such as economy, productivity, profitability etc. The analysis of important factors and parameters of this process demonstrated an influence on economy of the company. Several model cases have been created from the company records and from the provided research, the output of which became a basic methodology. The output of the analysis indicates possible directions of a management decision making. Thanks to a complex technical-economic view this thesis can serve as a methodological instrument for decision makers in the field of technology and cutting tool selections as well as an economy of production process improvement.

The final year thesis presented at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of the Technical University in Brno deals with economic analysis of the produc-tion process. Cost items are specified in the introduction of this thesis. After that the detailed analysis was made. This part of the diploma work is ended with a pattern example for optimalization of production costs. The second part of the diploma work deals with growth ratio of the productivity and with indica-tors of critical produced volume. In the conclusion of the diploma work there is a comparison of two technological alternatives of the production.

This master’s thesis deals with analysis and follow-up suggestion of efficiency improvement on the production line in RACIO s.r.o. First part of thesis is dealing with theoretical preparation and understanding lean production. Second part is dealing with analyzing production process and application of methods lean production. According to the production process analysis at the given production line a new solution of the production process has been suggested to increase production efficiency. This solution has been implemented and compared to the production process before, as well as to the production process after increasing the efficiency.

Understanding the relationships between species traits and the environment is essential for assessment of functional diversity. The variation in avian plumage colouration has attracted much scientific attention for a long time. It is thought that the colouration of birds is a product of interaction between environmental and sexual selection forces. Using two complementary three-matrix approaches (fourth-corner and RLQ analyses) I investigate geographical variation in plumage colouration of birds living along environmental gradient of productivity in South Africa. I suppose that productivity of environment could explain the part of variation in colouration of species at large geographical scales. I compiled information about 14 plumage traits for 649 species. Co- inertia analysis revealed that more vari-coloured species (e.g. with more saturated and vivid plumage), species with carotenoids in feather, blue-green or predominantly black species occur mainly in productive habitats such as moist savannas and woodlands in the north-east of the country. On the contrary pale species (e.g. greyishbrown), whose feathers are brighter (have higher values of brightness), occupy arid habitats in the west. It shows that another pattern such as iridescence, sexual dimorphism and brightness of particular body region exhibit...

This thesis deals with biodiversity-productivity relationship in desmid communities. Biodiversity is found to be changing globally. The biodiversity-productivity relationship is therefore an important research topic. Three aspects of biodiversity are thought to play an important role: species richness, functional diversity and phylogenetic diversity. It is known that in general, productivity is positively correlated with diversity. Interactions between different metrics of biodiversity are known less. Existing studies have shown that these interactions might be present. In general, biodiversity-productivity studies were mostly focused on plants. Less is known about other organisms, including algae. In this work I explore the relationship between overyielding and functional or phylogenetic diversity on a species richness gradient of desmid communities. I conducted an artificial biodiversity- ecosystem functioning experiment using combinations of two to 12 desmid species. Communities differed in the diversity aspects. I had measured the biomass growth. For the analysis, I have used the overyielding index, which is based on a comparison of a polyculture production with the production expected based on monoculture yields. The relationship of overyielding on functional diversity depended on species...

The present PhD thesis deals with nominal suffixal derivation in pre-classical French (about 1550-1610). Based both on traditional data collection and on available digital corpuses, especially Frantext, it first strives to define basic concepts such as language standard, problems of periodization, productivity, lexicalization, paradigmatization, panchronic validity of word-formation rules etc. On selected derivational patterns, it also tests the operationality of Optimality theory (OT) and other mechanisms (i.a. paradigmatization) in diachronic perspective. In several follow-up chapters, it then analyzes, from a diachronic point of view, a number of suffixes (-age, -aison, -ance, - ment, etc.).

Master Thesis deals with the problem of employee satisfaction at Copy General. I am presenting here a new version of questionnaire created by optimizing the original version, which were designed according to circumstances and desired outcomes. I also analyze actual situation of employee satisfaction. In Thesis I am presenting solutions based on the outputs from research and conversations with managers.

The practical part of the diploma thesis deals with the impartial presentation of the rewarding system and evaluation in the joint-stock company of Měšťanský pivovar Strakonice. The stress is put on considering whether the applied rewarding system, which includes the individual hourly wage, extra components and the system of employment bonuses in the chosen company is an appropriate model ? mostly to conform with the macroeconomic situation.

The main aim of this thesis was to assess the relation between productivity and size of company in selected sector of national economy construction industry. The sub-objectives were determined as follows: to gather theoretical information on the topic, to analyse the productivity according to the individual size categories of companies in the selected sector, to assess the relation between the size of company and the productivity and to ascertain the level of productivity in the Czech Republic in comparison with the selected sector.
