This thesis contributes to the currently frequent topic of economic geography and explains the processes for the creation of new companies in the Pilsen and Zlín regions between years 2009-2011. The choice of these two regions reflects their similar structural characteristics within the firm sector and their different horizontal position. The aim of this work is to find out through which processes in the monitored regions new companies are being created within the manufacturing industry and to which extent these processes affect the subsequent economic performance of companies during the first five years of existence. For this purpose, a typology of the creation of new companies based on their initial characteristics was designed and processed. These initial characteristics reflect both the regional dimension in terms of the origin of the key resources for the creation of a new company relative to the hosting region and the consequent different competencies and possibilities of newly created companies. Despite the initial assumptions, the results showed that the compared regions are practically the same within this issue. In both regions, new companies are mostly created through internal processes (branching of activities from existing regional base), followed by a creation without a link to the...

The main goal of this thesis is to present contemporary contemporary slovenian architectural scene to the Czech audience. Since the fall of Iron curtain is the slovenian architecture regarded as the most advanced from the former Eastern bloc. During the stay in Slovenia it's succeeded to collect sufficient informations for further analysis. Daily contact with the local culture and buildings helped in understanding of the current situation in the Slovenian architectural scene. The work provides the most important architectural works from Fabiani through Plečnik, Ravnikar, Podrecca to successors of generation Sixpack. The aim of this work is to help document and analyze the causes of Slovenia success and with this conclusion help to improve the situation in our country, where there is a wide range of high-quality buildings, but they remain almost unnoticed and unknown on the international scene. The study focused which role played the biggest importance in starting Slovenian model. Work search if it's possible to re-establish cooperation in the field of architecture. The aim of these was to find out how to apply the knowledge acquired in the Czech environment. Lessons from Slovenia could be summarized in two main areas: how to successfully cultivate their land and about how to be able to report about it externally.

The purpose of the study is to analyze the caretaker governments in the Czechoslovak and Czech political system. The thesis is divided into four parts. The first chapter focuses on the theory, and creation of a definition and typology of caretaker governments. The second part of the paper is dedicated to the research of Czechoslovak caretaker governments at the time of the so-called First republic (in years 1918-1926). The goal of the third chapter is to examine two Czechoslovak federal governments (1989-1992). The purpose of the last part of the thesis is to analyze two caretaker governments in the Czech republic (1993-2010). The aim of the research is to identify particular caretaker government in the context and contribute to deeper knowledge rather than generalize the findings. Author seeks to answer the question whether the caretaker governments represent negative feature of the Czech and Czechoslovak political system.

New forms of housing at the beginning of the 21st century Various forms of housing evolve gradually depending on the technical development, life style and different cultural environments. The goal of this is to observe the evolution of residential housing from 1960's to the present. The key point of this dissertation is to find new forms of living at the beginning of the 21st century and its use in lower level buildings. When we consider "new forms of housing" we mainly speak about buildings with contemporary architectonical style, uncommon interior dispositions or the use of innovative constructional material (copper, corten and copilit). Next chapter explores typical and specific examples of these new architectonical styles that had been build in the Czech republic in the past few years. Each individual house or building is characterized and deeply analyzed. We can think of the terrace house - residential villa in "Kosire", villa style residence at "Hanspaulka" or isolated residential house in "Bohumilec". This dissertation is based on projects that had either been constructed, are being built right now or are simply ideas that might or might not be build in the near future. At the end of this dissertation I focus on issues with these new forms of living compared to the evolution of architecture...

The submitted interdisciplinary dissertation on (outreach) transcendence of the child contains two parts: theoretical and empirical one. The theoretical part analyzes this concept in terms of linguistics, philosophy of education, psychology and religious pedagogy which implies conclusions for education. It also examines the concept of an ideal homo transcendens about which we can speak of a paradoxical and typological significance. In addition to this, the work reflects the care of overlap educators, child and curriculum. The empirical part of this work presents two pre surveys: One on children, the other on adults and children. Here is also presented methodology ready for transcendence term and it has its own specifics in a group interview based on two fictional stories. Qualitative research results are presented in four units: hermeneutical, socializing, emotional- attitudinal and empowermantal. Overlap as part of the education turnover to a child is related to the child together with the turnover in the child and the teacher. KEYWORDS: transcendence, transcending, outreach, child, personality, socialization, typology, metanoia, turning-to-child education

Thèse numérisée par la Direction des bibliothèques de l'Université de Montréal. / Cette thèse, de nature exploratoire, s'inscrit dans ce qu'il est convenu d'appeler l'étude des dimensions humaines des changements environnementaux globaux. Elle vise d'abord à saisir les différents schémas attitudinaux de pensée "environnementale" qui animent les leaders de groupes verts, pour ensuite en arriver à une meilleure compréhension de la perception du phénomène des changements climatiques chez ceux-ci. Trois études ont été réalisées afin d'atteindre ces objectifs généraux. Bien que ces études adoptent chacune un cadre théorique spécifique à leurs problématiques respectives, des approches générales s'en dégagent. D'une part, pour expliquer les attitudes environnementales, une approche psychosociologique, qui tient compte de déterminants « structurels » sociodémographiques ( âge, lieu, éducation, sexe, nationalité) et de déterminants cognitifs (attitudes générales ne ciblant pas nécessairement l'environnement), est privilégiée. D'autre part, la sociologie des mouvements sociaux sert d'arrière-plan conceptuel pour situer les sujets de recherche, c'est-à-dire les leaders de groupes verts. Au point de vue méthodologique, ces trois études utilisent le même questionnaire standardisé. La première étude est réalisée auprès de leaders de groupes verts du Québec. Elle vise à en établir une typologie. Trois types de leaders émergent des analyses effectuées. Les "écologistes", plus radicaux, sont méfiants à l'égard de la science et de la technologie conventionnelle et acceptent que des sacrifices économiques soient faits pour améliorer la qualité de l'environnement. Ils sont plus jeunes que les autres et militent majoritairement à Montréal. Quant aux "environnementalistes nationalistes" et aux "environnementalistes de marché", ils se distinguent principalement par des positions divergentes à l'égard d'Hydro-Québec. Les premiers perçoivent positivement cette société d'État, tandis que les seconds la voient d'un mauvais oeil et en favorisent la privatisation. La deuxième étude cherche à voir si le problème global des changements climatiques constitue un dossier générateur d'une solidarité à l'intérieur du mouvement vert international. Elle est réalisée auprès de leaders de groupes verts du Québec et du Costa Rica afin d'incorporer une dimension Nord-Sud aux analyses. Les attitudes des répondants à l'égard d'aspects-clés des changements climatiques sont comparées en fonction de deux facteurs potentiellement discriminants: leur appartenance à un type d'orientation idéologique verte ("écologisme", "environnementalisme" ou "environnementalisme de marché") et leur nationalité. Les résultats montrent que les "écologistes" diffèrent des autres leaders verts sur sept (7) des onze (11) variables d'attitudes reliées aux changements climatiques et que, sur la base de la nationalité des répondants, des différences d'attitudes sont identifiables pour cinq (6) des onze (11) variables considérées. Ces résultats ne permettent pas de conclure que les leaders du mouvement vert partagent une vision unifiée en ce qui a trait au dossier des changements climatiques. Enfin, la dernière étude cherche à découvrir les déterminants de l'appui à sept (7) politiques de protection du climat par les leaders de groupes verts du Québec et du Costa Rica. Les résultats des analyses montrent que l'appui accordé à plusieurs politiques est directement influencé par certaines variables sociodémographiques, principalement le sexe et la nationalité. Quant aux attitudes générales (principalement l'inquiétude face à la pollution), elles jouent un rôle indirect en affectant les deux variables les plus déterminantes: l'inquiétude face aux conséquences des changements climatiques et l'attribution de responsabilité humaine pour l'existence de ce phénomène.
