Abstract
It was demonstrated that patients who have undergone the Fontan operation can safely undertake exercise training and that this results in an improvement in aerobic capacity. These findings suggest that aerobic training could be useful in the long-term management of these patients to optimize their cardiovascular fitness for more active lives.

Badges of trade: the protection of trade marks and related intangibles in unfair competition law
No full textPhDThe increasing efforts within the European Union to harmonise
intellectual property law also lead to the approximation of
some aspects of unfair competition law. Despite these
efforts, common standards for unfair competition law are
still not present.
To find a common legal norm defining the scope of
protection of trade marks and related intangibles in unfair
competition law, similarities and differences between various
national unfair competition provisions are explored in the
light of the Paris Convention.
Setting aside the clear examples of tortious behaviour
in competition, the difficulty surrounding the definition of
clear norms in other unfair competition cases is recognised.
Protection of intangible subject matter on an other basis
than tort can lead to idiosyncratic and circular reasoning.
It is shown that property theories and policy decisions have
to be dismissed as the sole basis in the determination
whether protection is due.
The author describes how a legal concept bearing close
resemblance to tort can overcome these problems. He describes
and argues for an action for 'malign competition', based on
the concept of unjust enrichment.
In examining selected legal systems in more detail,
several key aspects of the proposed action appear to be in
operation already, albeit not recognised.
Selected cases from several jurisdictions are
subsequently tested according to the model of the proposed
action for malign competition. It is demonstrated that the
legal reasoning is more satisfactory, offering a clear norm
and takingway the old idiosyncrasies. Where the outcome on
the basis of the same facts is different, it is shown that
this is the result of a more satisfactory implementation of
the notions of preemption and equitable remuneration than is
currently employed.
The fact that the principle of unjust enrichment is
universally recognised will in the opinion of the author
advance the prospects for future harmonisat
Hybrid simulation of wake vortices of landing aircraft in a turbulent environment
No full textWake-vortex evolution during landing of a long range aircraft is investigated in a turbulent environment. The simulations cover final approach, touchdown on the tarmac, and the evolution of the wake after touchdown. An ambient turbulent crosswind and headwind field is generated in a pre-simulation. The wake is initialized using a RANS-LES coupling approach. The further development of the vortical wake is investigated by large-eddy simulation until final decay. Strong three-dimensional deformations appearing after touchdown and linkings with the ground are studied. The downwind vortex is strongly advected with crosswind and decays quickly. The interaction of plate line disturbances and end effects in a turbulent environment leads to irregular decay pattern
Statistická inference v modelech extrémních událostí

RNDr. Jan Picek, CSc. Abstract: The thesis deals with extremal aspects of linear models. We provide a brief explanation of extreme value theory. The attention is then turned to linear models Yn×1 = Xn×pβp×1 + En×1 with the errors Ei ∼ F, i = 1, . . . , n fulfilling the do- main of attraction condition. We examine the properties of the regression quantiles of Koenker and Basset (1978) under this setting we develop theory dealing with extremal characteristics of linear models. Our methods are based on an approximation of the regression quantile process for α ∈ [0, 1] expanding older results of Gutenbrunner et al. (1993). Our result holds in [α∗ n, 1 − α∗ n] with a better rate of α∗ n → 0 than the other approximations described previously in the literature. Consecutively we provide an ap- proximation of the tails of regression quantile. The approximations of the tails enable to develop theory of the smooth functionals, which are used to establish a new class of estimates of extreme value index. We prove T(F−1 n (1 − knt/n)) is consistent and asymp- totically normal estimate of extreme for any T member of the class....Název práce: Stochastická inference v modelu extrémních událostí Autor: Jan Dienstbier Katedra/Ústav: Katedra pravděpodobnosti a matematické statistiky Vedoucí doktorské práce: Doc.

Pracujeme s regresními kvantily odvozenými v článku Koenker and Basset (1978) a ukazujeme jejich extremální vlastnosti. V rámci odvození nových metod je v práci podán důkaz aproximace regresních kvantilů založený na na starších výsledcích Gutenbrunner et al. (1993). Náš výsledek platí na intervalu [α∗ n, 1 − α∗ n] s lepším řádem konvergence α∗ n → 0, než byl dosud odvozen ve starší liter- atuře. Tato aproximace umožňuje vybudovat aproximaci chvostů regresních kvantilů, na které je potom založena teorie hladkých funkcionálů procesu regresních kvantilů. Pomocí této teorie pak lze odvodit novou třídu odhadů Paretova indexu vhodnou pro regresní situaci.

Does strict employment protection discourage job creation? Evidence from Croatia
No full textEmployment protection legislation in Croatia is among the most strict in Europe. Firing is difficult and costly, and flexible forms of employment are limited. Is this apparent rigidity reflected-as one would expect based on standard economic theory-in low labor market dynamics? Is job creation low and hiring limited? Is the job security of insiders achieved at the cost of outsiders not being able to enter thelabor market? The author attempts to answer these questions by examining job flows. If the employment protection legislation is binding, then job and worker turnover should be low. He shows that this is indeed the case. Hiring is limited and the average job tenure is very long in Croatia. Job destruction is low, however job creation is still lower. The result is accumulation of unemployment, in large part due to new labor market entrants not being able to find a job. The high degree of job protection also seems to strengthen the bargaining position of insiders and results in relatively high wages. So, wages in Croatia are higher than among its competitors, even after adjusting for productivity. These high labor costs are likely to contribute to limited job creation in existing firms, but also are likely to discourage the entry of-and thus job creation in-new firms. The author presents evidence that firm growth has been indeed limited in Croatia, contributing to the low employment level. The author examines other potential causes of high unemployment in Croatia (the unemployment benefit system, labor taxation, the wage structure, and skill and spatial mismatches). He argues that they do not play a substantial part in accounting for poor labor market outcomes in Croatia. The author concludes that the stringent employment protection legislation is the key labor market institution behind low job creation and high unemployment. Based on this he recommends specific measures aimed at liberalizing the labor market to foster job creation and employment.Labor Management and Relations,Labor Policies,Labor Markets,Environmental Economics&Policies,Trade Finance and Investment,Labor Markets,Labor Management and Relations,Labor Standards,Banks&Banking Reform,Environmental Economics&Policies
KARAKTERISASI TOKOH DALAM ROMAN DER FÜRST SPRICHT KARYA JAN PETER BREMER
No full textLiterature is a form of creativity idea from the author. One of the forms is roman. There are characters in a roman. In the source of the data which was used is written data of Der Fürst spricht roman by Jan Peter. In this research selected roman Der Fürst spricht of Jan Peter Bremer as research objects. Roman Der Fürst spricht tells about der Fürst and his servants, if it is associated with a sense of romance, there is also the linkages between der Fürst and his servants. Therefore, need to know these linkages to understand the story well. Then, there are figures in a roman. For making the figures live, the author needs the characterization.. According to Minderop, characterization is character description.
The research question of this research is: How the characterization of the characters in Der Fürst spricht roman by Jan Peter Bremer?. The purpose of this research is finding the characterization of the figures in Der Fürst spricht roman by Jan Peter Bremer. This research included into descriptive qualitative research. For analyzing the research problem, the research used a theory about indirectly characterization from Albertine Minderop and Enneagram theory from Oscar Ichazo dan Claudio Naranjo .
The result of analysis showed that the roman of Der Fürst spricht by Jan Peter Bremer had, 1 figure tempered leader, 1 figure tempered wicked, 1 figure tempered liar, 3 characters tempered friendly, 1 figure tempered rescuer, 1 figure tempered romantic, 1 figure tempered generalist, 3 figures tempered faithful, 1 figure tempered careful, and 1 figure cruel character. Once found the character it can be seen that in the roman Der Fürst spricht more inclined to depictions through sociological terms, because the author depicts characters through figures interaction in the environment. Where all the figures in the roman Der Fürst spricht interact with each other in environment so it appears the character of each figure.
