ECONOMIC FREEDOM THE CZECH REPUBLIC AND ITS NEIGHBORS

We analyze the Index of Economic Freedom in Czech Republic in our article. The Index of Economic Freedom is an indicator which defines and tries to measure the economic freedom of a country or a region. The most famous are the Index of Economic Freedom created by the Heritage Foundation and the Wall Street Journal and Economic Freedom of the World published by the Canadian Fraser Institute. To analyze the Czech Republic‘s position it is reasonable to take into account its neighbors and Visegrad Four as the closest group. It is also insightful to compare it with other countries from the European Union (EU). According to Economic Freedom summary rating in 2011 all these countries belong to the ―Top 60‖: Germany (19), Austria and Hungary share 27 place (before Sweden), the Slovak Republic (36), the Czech Republic (52) and Poland (59). However, remembering the fact that there were significant changes during the last 25 years, it would be very interesting to look back to previous years

Globální firma a EU: Dopad ekonomické politky EU na podnikání

This master thesis tests the statement whether the EU Economic Policy related to the Internal Market Project decreases the costs of doing business or not. We tested the conducting of business of Global Company in seven various regions (Visegrad Countries, Baltic, East Balkan Countries, Croatia, Russia, Ukraine and Turkey). We framed the research period into 2011 and focused on four major Research Fields (Transportation, Cross-border Trading, Consumer Protection and Financial Regulation). Based on the cost impact analysis we could confirm that Internal Market Project decreases the costs of doing business

Konec impéria. Hospodářsko-společenské důsledky španělsko-americké války 1898.

Španělsko-americká válka vypukla v roce 1898, jako důsledek tehdy již tři roky trvajícího kubánského povstání za nezávislost. Španělská flotila byla záhy zničena a Španělsko ztratilo téměř všechna zámořská území. Tato práce se zabývá důsledky této prohry, které analyzuje ve třech rovinách: ekonomické, politické a kulturní. Cílem této práce je nabídnout interpretaci atmosféry ve španělské společnosti v tomto obtížném období španělských dějin

Realistic and Liberal Approach within the International Relations Theory: Case of US' Annexation of Texas (1845)

Diploma thesis "Realistic and Liberal Approach within the International Relations Theory: Case of US' Annexation of Texas (1845)" deals with the testing of two chosen theories of international relations on this particular historic event. Balance of threat theory by Stephen Walt was chosen as a representative of realistic tradition. Moravcsik's liberal theory of international relations was chosen on behalf of liberal tradition. The main task of this paper is to test the explanatory power of both given theories. The field of interest in this particular case is American alliance behavior in 1840's. The theories will be tested separately and as the part of paper the author also delivers a brief introduction into both traditional approaches (realism and liberalism) within the international relations theory. The paper is divided into three chapters. After giving a brief historic introduction about the annexation itself both theories will be tested. The results of the research in the Texan archives during author's one year stay in Texas ware very important source of the information

Kalúz, Stanislav, Vrabec, Michal (2013): Two new species of Armascirus (Acari: Prostigmata: Cunaxidae) from Slovakia. Zootaxa 3734 (2): 141-155, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3734.2.

Armascirus orientalis Kalúz, Ermilov & Vrabec, 2014, sp. nov.

Armascirus orientalis sp. nov. Diagnosis (female). This species is similar to A. limpopoensis Den Heyer, A. bakeri Smiley and A. harrisoni Smiley. It can be distinguished from the female of A. limpopoensis by having the palpal telofemur with 1 apophysis and an equal distance between setae c 1 –c 1 and d 1 –d 1, (c 1 –c 1 = d 1 –d 1) (A. limpopoensis bears 2 apophyses and c 1 –c 1 = two times distance d 1 –d 1). A. bakeri has 1 splas and 3 sts on the palpal tibiotarsus, while the palpal tibiotarsus in A. orientalis bears 1 splas and 4 sts. A. harrisoni differs from A. orientalis by having the distance between c 1 –c 1 = two times width of hysterosomal median shield, and this shield is smaller, oval and wider (width = two times length). In A. orientalis the distance between c 1 –c 1 = width of hysterosomal median shield, and the shield is bigger and triangular (anterior width=length). Description. Female [holotype, paratype]—body length [425,574] width [282,396], respectively, 2 specimens measured. Dorsum (Fig. 6). Propodosoma with finely reticulate subrectangular shield, cone-shaped distally. Propodosomal shield reaching to anterior region of hysterosoma, bearing a pair of anterior (vi) and posterior (sce) setose trichobothria and also two pairs of tactile setae (ve, sci). Anterior trichobothrium [363, 398], posterior trichobothrium [491, 471] long, distance between bases of vi–vi and sce–sce [31, 31] and [204, 247], respectively. Propodosoma separated from hysterosoma by fine striae. Hysterosoma with finely reticulate hysterosomal median shield, lateral hysterosomal platelets absent. Six pairs of tactile dorsal setae present on hysterosoma; c 2 , c 1 –h 1. Short setae c 1 and c 2 about equal in length [9, 9] [11, 11], respectively; d 1 [9, 11], following setae longer and increasing in length: e 1 [11, 13], f 1 [25, 27] and h 1 [31, 37]. Distance between bases of setae c 1 –c 1 [72, 77] about eight times length of c 1; d 1 –d 1 [69, 77] about seven times length of d 1; e 1 –e 1 [86, 91] about six – seven times longer e 1; f 1 – f 1 [78, 92] more than three times length of f 1; h 1 –h 1 [36, 40] nearly equal the length of h 1. Venter (Fig. 7). Coxal plates weakly sclerotized, coxae I–II and III–IV contiguous and finely reticulate, like to those of dorsal shields. Setal formula of coxae I–IV: 3 – 2–3 – 3 sts. Venter of hysterosoma (Fig. 7) with a pair of centro-medial simple setae [15, 17] on longitudinally striated integument between coxae III, and with four pairs of hysterogastral setae [23, 25] on transversally striated integument arranged anteriorly to genital plates. Four pairs of simple setae on weakly sclerotized genital plates, setae nearly equal in length [19, 25–22, 25 – 25, 28–28, 29] (anterior to posterior in holotype and paratype), respectively.
