Metaphor in Supervision
Předkládaná diplomová práce na téma Metafora v supervizi je členěna na dvě části. První část teoretická, uchopuje metaforu v jazykové rovině, její sémantickou rovinu a dále poté užití metafory v supervizi. Jak se ukazuje, tak metafora je často pojímána jako fenomén, jako obraz, či jako uchopení intrapsychických pochodů člověka. Sama metafora je často popisována metaforou a můžeme se tak lehce dostat do začarované spirály. Z této spirály nás právě vyvádí teoretická část práce, která zachycuje a kotví abstrakci metafory v reálném světě. Zkoumání metafory proběhlo formou kvalitativní výzkumné metodologie, a to konkrétně za použití metody IPA. Do výzkumného šetření bylo zařazeno 11 účastníků výzkumu, kteří byli záměrně vybráni na základě kriteriárního výběru. Součástí výzkumné strategie byla i nezbytná sebereflexe výzkumnice v prvotní fázi práce s daty pomocí dekonstrukce textu. V analýze dat můžeme najít nejprve předvýzkum a poté samotné kodifikování spojené s přímými citacemi. Toto je nejprve utříděno do přehledné tabulky pro lepší orientaci. V diskusi se poté zaměřujeme na odpovědi na hlavní výzkumný cíl, který se podařilo naplnit a na výzkumné otázky. Na ty je odpovídáno formou jakýchsi podkapitol, kde se zabýváme tím, kdy je a není vhodné metaforu použít, kdy je supervizor tvůrcem metafory, či...The thesis on Metaphor in supervision is divided into two parts. The first theoretical part deals with metaphor in the linguistic level, its semantic level and then the use of metaphor in supervision. As it turns out, metaphor is often conceived as a phenomenon, as an image, or as a grasp of a person's intrapsychic processes. Metaphor itself is often described by metaphor and we can easily get into a vicious spiral. It is the theoretical part of the thesis that takes us out of this spiral, capturing and anchoring the abstraction of metaphor in the real world. The exploration of metaphor has taken the form of a qualitative research methodology, specifically using IPA. The research investigation involved 11 research participants who were purposively selected based on criterion sampling. The research strategy included the necessary self-reflection by the researcher and in the initial stage of working with the data through deconstruction of the text. In the data analysis we can find first the pre-research and then the actual codification associated with direct quotations. This is first sorted into a clear table for better orientation. The discussion then focuses on answering the main research aim that was met and the research questions. These are answered in the form of a kind of sub-chapter when we...Program Řízení a supervizeProgramme Management and SupervisionFakulta humanitních studiíFaculty of Humanitie

Evolution of a commercial insurance company in trans-epochal developments: Evidence of the Czech insurance market
This paper aims to analyze the evolution of the leading commercial insurance company Česká pojišťovna on the Czech insurance market in the years 1947–2021. Its evolution was closely linked to the processes of building socialism in the 1950s and the federalization of Czechoslovakia at the end of the 1960s. The paper uses qualitative research methods, methods of description and comparison, as well as local micro-historical analyses shall be applied. The main features of insurance products in the period of the totalitarian regime are characterized. Both the economic transformation in the 1990s and globalization in the last decades have had a radical effect on the further development of the analyzed company Česká pojišťovna. In the period after 1989, the development is marked by a focus on changes in the shareholder structure of the analyzed insurance company, and the development of its market share is shown. As a result of demonopolization, new companies could emerge, creating a competitive environment. The leading commercial insurance company Česká pojišťovna’s market share gradually began to decline.

Techno-economic analysis of fluidized bed combustion of a mixed fuel from sewage and paper mill sludge
The treatment and disposal of sewage sludge is one of the most important and critical issues of wastewater treatment plants. One option for sludge liquidation is the production of fuel in the form of pellets from mixed sewage and paper mill sludge. This study presents the results of the combustion of pelletized fuels, namely sewage and paper mill sludge, and their 2:1 and 4:1 blends in a fluidized bed combustor. The flue gas was analysed after reaching a steady state at bed temperatures of 700-800 degrees C. Commonly used flue gas cleaning is still necessary, especially for SO2; therefore, it is worth mentioning that the addition of paper mill sludge reduced the mercury concentration in the flue gas to limits acceptable in most EU countries. The analysis of ash after combustion showed that magnesium, potassium, calcium, chromium, copper, zinc, arsenic, and lead remained mostly in the ash after combustion, while all cadmium from all fuels used was transferred into the flue gas together with a substantial part of chlorine and mercury. The pellets containing both sewage and paper mill sludge can be used as an environmentally friendly alternative fuel for fluidised bed combustion. The levelized cost of this alternative fuel is at the same current price level as lignite.Web of Science1523art. no. 896
