Author builds on the thesis of 2009 which dealt with the similar theme of the Houses of children and youth and their current conditions in the Czech Republic. The thesis is based on the theoretical principles of learning organizations established especially by Peter M. Senge. The actual status of the learning organization was diagnosed by the questionnaire survey in the following areas: the organization structure (flexibility, information sharing, and teamwork); processes (management and skills knowledge, information technology); culture (leadership, learning support, and feedback - evaluation); stimulation (strategy, personal development, motivation). Author provides an analysis of the data obtained in the questionnaire research (including 117 respondents of Houses of children and youth in Prague). The survey results were consequently compared with the former results of a similar questionnaire...

This thesis focuses on functional assessments, visual stimulation and on offers of Centres for Early Intervention that provide services in the area of visual perception for children in early and preschool age. The goal of the thesis is to analyze interviews with workers in these centres on options and services in the area of visual aid that these centres provide for families and their children with disabilities. The first four chapters deal with theoretical background in the area of functional assessments of vision, visual stimulation and description of the group of children in early and preschool age with visual and multiple disabilities. Last but not least, these chapters also deal with organizations that provide early intervention services, their structure, composition of personnel and range of offered services. The content of the fifth chapter is a qualitative research investigation. The data were collected through interviews with instructors of visual stimulation and with an early intervention assistant. Analysis of these interviews then became basis for the subsequent definition of commendable suggestions for good practise.

Pike-perch (Sander lucioperca) is a species of fish whose breeding in recirculation systems has a great prospect in the years to come. Due to the unfavorable conditions of intensive rearing of these fish in recirculation systems, they are often exposed to stress resulting in reduced fish defenses. Thus, fish are exposed to attack of a wide range of bacteria. Although there are preventive measures to protect fish against pathogen attack, knowledge of the immune system and the immune response of the fish is crucial for further evolution of vaccination. Even though we know the mechanisms of immune response of many fish species,but the knowledge of the pike-perch's immune response is very limited.

This thesis deals with management motivation and increase work performance. The main work is to evaluate the style of motivation in the company, in case of occurrence of deficiencies, it is necessary to propose new solutions of motivational tools. The first theoretical part includes basic concepts of management, along with motivational theories and management staff, where you can get acquainted with all terms of people management. The theoretical part is compiled from secondary sources on the basis of specialist literature. The practical part follows the first theoretical part, which includes the performance of the company. The selected firm did not want to be published, so the work will not appear its name. The practical part is determined by the situation of motivation of human resources in the company (such as employee training, compensation and benefits). To determine the situation were I used information available from internal and external sources. Subsequent analysis was determined by questionnaires focused on employee satisfaction with provided benefits to which they prefer. If the benefits provided to employees are not satisfactory, then we need to build a new incentive program. Further research method was used in the form of a guided interview, which served to supplement primary data obtained by questionnaire. Guided interview questions were compiled according to the areas involved in the management of employees, particularly in the area of evaluation and remuneration and share information. Finally, the thesis was the finding of research findings. The obtained data was compiled, organized and evaluated. Based on the findings of the situation in the company were recommended new opportunities for incentive programs, due to which the company could achieve better results.

The quality of employees is the most important criterion for the success of any company. However, to allow people to exploit their potential, it is necessary to motivate them. Motivation in the workplace essentially determines the quality of work. Globally successful companies devote more resources and efforts to improving their motivational system. Therefore the objective of this diploma thesis is the analysis of the performance of employees in connection with their motivation. The objective is also the research of the motivational system and the different forms of stimulation in the chosen company including the analysis of corporate culture. This research survey required a study of basic theoretical concepts related with working performance, motivating employees to better perform at the workplace, using appropriate stimulus means, interpersonal relations in the workplace and corporate culture. The performance of employees in connection with their motivation was analysed by using statistical methods (Pearson's correlation coefficient and Student's paired t-test) and by using labor productivity in comparison with the average wage. Motivation at the workplace was examined through a observation, interviews and a structured questionnaire with taking into account motivational profiles of employees. Corporate culture was analyzed through a system of symbols and test VSM and TBSD. Based on the data and its analysis, problem areas were defined and appropriate recommendations were made. These recommendations should contribute to the improvement of motivation, followed by greater work efficiency in the company.

1 Abstract Body weight changes have been described in the course of Parkinson's disease (PD) as well as following bilateral deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (STN DBS) performed in advanced PD. According to the literature weight changes occur in 50-100% of patients who undergo STN DBS. In the last 15 years extensive efforts have been put in understanding the underlying mechanisms behind the weight changes following STN DBS in advanced PD patients however many sources still report conflicting evidence. Improved motor status, reduction in dyskinesias, decrease in energy expenditure, dopaminergic medication reduction, modification of food intake, hormonal factors, regional effects of stimulation were all speculated to cause this weight gain. We hypothesized that patients who underwent STN DBS procedure in our center would gain weight as reported in the literature (study 1, study 2). The etiology of post STN DBS weight gain has not been fully elucidated up to date, in our second study we further hypothesized that the weight changes are due to dysregulation of food related hormones and parameters (study 2). In the third study we hypothesized that weight gain is associated with position of active electrode contact (study 3). Aims of the study: The primary aims of our studies were to assess body...
