DIPLOMOVÁ PRÁCE SERIAL VERB CONSTRUCTIONS IN ARABIC Konstrukce sériových sloves v arabštině Bc. Adam Pospíšil Abstract The aim of this thesis is to investigate multi-verb structures in Egyptian Arabic (EA) which show some characteristics attributed to the typological notion of serial verb constructions (SVC). After providing a preliminary definition of an EA-specific SVC notion, the author examines a substantial quantity of data from EA, gathered mostly on social networks, in order to describe the syntactic and semantic behavíour of constructions which are yielded by such definition. Finally, the results of this investigation are considered from the perspective of the definition of SVC as a comparative concept provided by Haspelmath (2016), so as to view the observed constructions in a typological context.

L’agriculture urbaine représente une opportunité de réduire la pauvreté et d’améliorer la sécurité alimentaire des habitants des villes d’Afrique de l’Ouest. L’objectif général de cette thèse est de produire des données d’inventaire représentatives ainsi qu’une évaluation environnementale robuste de ces systèmes de production par la méthodologie Analyse du Cycle de Vie (ACV). Notre cas d’étude a été la tomate des jardins urbains au Bénin. Notre état de l’art nous a permis d’identifier que prendre en compte la diversité des systèmes de production et la variabilité des émissions au champ étaient deux enjeux majeurs de l’ACV des produits maraîchers. Nous avons donc développé un protocole de collecte de données basé sur la typologie qui prend en compte la diversité des systèmes puis mis au point une méthode d’estimation des flux d’azote au champ combinant un bilan d’azote et l’usage d’un modèle biophysique. Nous avons ainsi créé des inventaires pour 6 types de systèmes et une moyenne pondérée représentative de la population étudiée. L’analyse des performances agronomiques de ces systèmes a montré une forte variabilité des rendements et une utilisation fluctuante et souvent excessive d’engrais et de pesticides. L’exploration de la variabilité des flux d’azote à l’échelle de la parcelle et du cycle de culture a permis l’identification de 4 facteurs majeurs: les volumes d’eau d’irrigation, la dose d’azote, le pH du sol et la capacité au champ. A l’aide de scénarios favorables et défavorables aux émissions pour chacun de ces 4 facteurs, nous avons montré que leurs effets sur les résultats d’ACV étaient importants. L’intégration de ces données dans une ACV finalisée a montré qu’un hectare de production de tomate au Bénin était plus impactant que les productions maraichères Européennes. Les avantages du climat favorable du sud Bénin à la production de tomate en contre saison sont annulés par les faibles performances des systèmes d’irrigation, l’usage fréquent d’insecticides et d’importantes émissions azotées. Des données mesurées et des connaissances nouvelles sont nécessaires sur ces systèmes pour valider et affiner nos conclusions. / Urban agriculture provides opportunities to reduce poverty and ensure food safety for cities inhabitants in West Africa. The general objective of this thesis is producing representative inventories and a robust environmental assessment for those production systems using the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology. Our case study was the tomato production in urban gardens in Benin. Our state of the art identified the integration of the diversity of systems and the variability of field emissions as two major challenges for the LCA of vegetable products. We therefore developed a typology-based protocol to collect cropping systems data that includes their diversity and an approach combining a nitrogen budget and the use of a biophysical model to estimate nitrogen field emissions. We created inventories for 6 cropping system types and one weighted mean representative for the urban tomato growers in Benin. The analysis of the agronomical performances of these systems highlighted the important yield variability and the variable and often excessive use of pesticides and fertilizers. The investigation of nitrogen fluxes variability at plot and crop cycle scales led to the identification of 4 major influencing factors: water use, nitrogen input, soil pH and field capacity. Using favorable and unfavorable scenarios for nitrogen emissions for each of these 4 factors, we demonstrated that the LCA results were sensitive to their variations. The implementation of LCA using those contrasted data showed that one hectare of tomato production in Benin was more impacting than European vegetable productions. The benefits from the favorable climate for producing out-of-season tomatoes were hampered by the low efficiency of irrigations systems, the frequent use of insecticides and large nitrogen emissions. Measured data and new knowledge on these systems are needed to validate and refine our conclusions.

Ces dernières années, le Magdalénien a connu un vif regain d’intérêt dans le Jura et les Alpes du nord, concernant la position chronologique de ces phases successives et de ces gisements. Le renouvellement et la production de données radiocarbones et paléoenvironnementales ont permis de préciser l’évolution du monde animal et la chronologie des occupations humaines tardiglaciaires. Ce cadre général nouvellement établi, a permis dans un second temps, de proposer une analyse inédite, comparée et diachronique de l’évolution des productions osseuses au Magdalénien, à partir d’un corpus de 22 gisements (décrit dans un second volume), en grottes et en abris, répartis sur le Massif du Jura et les Alpes du nord et situés entre 15500 et 12000 BP. Passés au crible de quatre paramètres évaluant leur potentiel, nous avons sélectionné 13 gisements les plus pertinents pour lesquels nous avons étudiés les différentes catégories de témoins (déchets, supports, ébauches et objets finis) par matières premières (bois de cervidé, os, ivoire vraie, dentine) et selon les stigmates liés à leur fabrication et à leur utilisation. A partir de ces gisements, nous avons projeté quelques bases sur le peuplement tardiglaciaire et décrit leur équipement osseux sous un angle typo-technologique ce qui n’avais jamais été fait jusqu’à aujourd’hui. / These last years, the Magdalenian knew a deep renewed interest in Jura and the Alps of the North, concerning the chronological position of the successive phases and these site. The renewal and the production of data radiocarbons and paleoenvironnemental allowed to specify the evolution of the animal kingdom and the chronology of the human tardiglacial activities. This general framework recently established, allowed secondly, to propose an unpublished, compared and diachronic analysis of the evolution of the osseous productions in the Magdalenian, from a corpus of 22 site (described in a second volume), in caves and in rock shelters, distributed on the Massif of Jura and the Alps of the North and situated between 15500 and 12000 BP. Examined closely of four parameters estimating their potential, we selected the most relevant 13 site for which the various categories of witnesses (waste, supports, sketches and finished objects) by raw materials (antler, bone, ivory, dentin) and according to stigmata bound to their manufacturing and to their use.

This work deals with the corporate culture, its description, significance and corporate culture analysis in the hotel chain Hong Ngoc Hotel Group, especially the Hong Ngoc Dynastie hotel. The work is divided into three parts. Content of the theoretical part are basic knowledge about corporate culture, the author analyses the term of corporate culture, its basic features and types of corporate culture. The practical part is focused on the hotel chain Hong Ngoc Hotel Group, where the Hong Ngoc Dynastie hotel is introduced. The author concerned with the analysis and description of the corporate culture of two hotels -- Hong Ngoc Dynastie and XY located in Prague. The last part of the study is dedicated to comparing this two corporate culture and improvement proposals for Hong Ngoc Dynastie hotel to approach its goals to become one of respected hotels at international level.

My dissertation is focused on analysing the importance of personality typology during the choice of career. The theoretical part is aimed at the clarification of related key concepts, summary of knowledge concerning the personality typology and explanation of chosen theories dealing with personality typology. I paid particular attention to the type indicator MBTI, which is subsequently used in the practical part. The methodological part follows the theoretical part. The methodological part delimits the particular phases of the research and together with the theoretical part serves as a basis for the practical part. Within the practical part the personality typology issues used during the choice of career are analysed through the research and subsequently the interpretation of ascertained results is mentioned.

This work describes the problem of information credibility in state institutions with the help of using various methods (deduction, induction and synthesis). Work describes mainly theory but also some existing approaches in real work of this institutions. The work describes the problem beginning from collecting information, verifying information and information sources, related credibility, concepts, typologies and so on. Then, it describes the phenomenon of misinformation (or disinformation) and clarifies if this phenomenon is a part of real daily work of certain state institutions. Then in work is described the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic and their approach to information (typology of information, resources, verifying information, actors which collect information). In addition, work presents such institution as the Office for Foreign Relations and Information, which is also a state institution and is a leading supplier of information to the MFA. Understanding the issue of such a sensitive topic in such closed institutions is based on publicly published sources. In work are also described methodologies of verifying information and procedures of risk management used in the situation of obtaining false information. At the same time, work contains a few of author's solutions for some parts of the work.

The main goal of this thesis is to find out how typological theories can benefit human resource management and business overall and to introduce one particular typological theory developed in Russia -- socionics -- to European academic and business community highlighting its peculiarities and advantages. Referring to the purpose of this thesis, case study qualitative research of exploratory nature is applied. Thematic analysis is performed to analyze the study's findings, in which three areas are identified in order to help reaching the goals of this thesis. The thesis offers practicable solutions that can be applied by individuals in matters of career planning and companies in various areas of human resource management and other business spheres to increase the level of efficiency and satisfaction.

The present dissertation provided an insight of the organizational culture and the innovative behavior of small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) in the early stages of the innovation process. The method Culture Types of Organizations certified that the investigated SMEs possessed a distinctive family culture, and in addition an innovation cul-ture at the company headquarters. By using the social research method Grounded Theory the so called theory "Innovation kultivieren" was developed. This theory consists of three process stages. The first process stage "Mindset geben" is about defining and anchoring new innovative company's values. The second process stage "Innovation organisieren" defines the organizational responsibilities and last but not least, the third process stage "Innovation strukturieren" delivers various accompanying soft skill factors to improve the innovation culture of companies.

The ultimate objective of the present PhD thesis is to propose effective instructional methods to be employed in teaching macroeconomics as an academic subject, their selection being determined by the personality type recognition of the students of economics-based academic programmes. First, a current state of academic education and an increase in the number of university/college students, schools and faculties are analysed. Within the sector of higher education institutions (HEI) providing academic training in economic sciences, the focus is on the rationale of the inclusion of macroeconomics in their syllabi. Having conducted the quantitative research, the MBTI questionnaire being employed to measure personality types, the composition of academic study groups in the chosen economics-based schools was examined from the viewpoint of the given typology. An analysis of currently applied forms and methods of instruction in macroeconomics at the Private University College of Economic Studies (PUCES) is accompanied by the interpretation of their impact on the academic achievements of particular personality types. Based on the research findings, appropriate teaching methods are matched with respective personality types and subsequently with the entire study group comprising different types of personalities. The present dissertation thesis consists of an introduction, seven chapters and a conclusion. The introduction presents the aim of the thesis, an overview of the current state of relevant research on the topic as well as research hypotheses and methodology. Chapter 1 explores the current state of HEI programmes affected by soaring numbers of students, HEIs and their faculties. Chapter 2 focuses on macroeconomics as a scientific discipline and an academic subject incorporated in the syllabuses of the selected HEIs. Chapter 3 concentrates on academic teaching, outlining the philosophies, modes and methods of academic instruction. In chapter 4, personality typologies are exposed, focusing selectively on their development, emphasising those with significant social influence. The MBTI personality typology is given special attention, corresponding basic personality dimensions, dispositions and study successfulness being considered. Chapter 5 describes the results of the research of the student groups' structure according to MBTI typology in five chosen HEIs, summarizing the outcomes from the schools being tested. In chapter 6, macroeconomics examination results achieved by PUCES students are displayed, being related to respective personality categories in compliance with the above typology. In the last chapter, optimal methods and instructional approaches are suggested for teaching particular personality types of students, the heterogeneous composition of the study groups being taken into consideration.

The work describes the organizational structure and analyze the organizational culture in a particular organization. Searches ties that these two areas interlink and finds them in the standards of behavior. Identifies common factors shared values, norms of behavior and identifies them with appropriate typologies of culture. Proposes joint measures that would considered organization secondly eliminate the negative effects of fragmentation of values and norms of behavior of individual members, as well as better utilize their strengths, ie. Compactness values and norms of behavior. All this in order to facilitate efficient management of the organization and the shared goals of the organization.
