Electromobility within the Visegrad Four
No full textThe bachelor thesis aims to evaluate the background of the Visegrad Four countries for the introduction of electromobility in the automotive industry. In the first part, I prepare the theoretical environment for the following analysis. In the first section of the theoretical part, I deal with the history of electromobility, companies operating in the territory of the Member States, the infrastructure of charging stations, and batteries used in electric vehicles. I also mention the historical, economic, and political context of the Visegrad Four. The last part of this section is the theory of the later used macroeconomic indicators of the population's purchasing power. In the practical part, I used data collection to analyze selected factors directly affecting the development of electromobility in the Member States. In the discussion part, I evaluated the factors I selected through a scoring model. Each of them was assigned a weight according to the influence on the development of electromobility. In the part of the evaluation of the scoring model, I presented my own findings and comments, which in my opinion, would contribute to better development.Cílem bakalářské práce je zhodnotit zázemí států Visegrádské čtyřky pro zavedení elektromobility v automobilovém průmyslu. V první části připravuji teoretické prostředí pro následující analýzu. V prvním oddílu teoretické části se věnuji historii elektromobility, společnostem působícím na území členských států, infrastruktuře nabíjecích stanic a bateriím využívaných v elektromobilech. Dále se zmiňuji o historickém, ekonomickém a politickém kontextu útvaru Visegrádské čtyřky. Jako poslední je v této části uvedena teorie k později využitým makroekonomickým ukazatelům kupní síly obyvatelstva. V praktické části jsem pomocí shromažďování dat analyzoval vybrané faktory přímo ovlivňující rozvoj elektromobility na území členských států. Mnou vybrané faktory jsem v části diskuze zhodnotil prostřednictvím scoring modelu, kde byla každému z nich přidělena váha podle vlivu na vývoj elektromobility. V části vyhodnocení scoring modelu jsem uvedl vlastní poznatky a komentáře, které by podle mého názoru přispěly ke kvalitnějšímu vývoji elektromobility

The Influence of Real Estate Tax on Basic Social Groups
No full textThis diploma thesis examines the impact of real estate tax on selected social groups in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The main objective of the thesis is to assess the tax burden and its effects on residents with various income and demographic characteristics through a comparative analysis of model households. The work focuses on identifying differences in the tax structure in both countries and analyzing the key factors that influence the final tax amount. In the practical part, tax liability calculations are performed using model social groups, which are complemented by sensitivity and regression analyses. Based on the findings, the thesis offers brief recommendations for adjusting tax policy.Tato diplomová práce se zabývá vlivem daně z nemovitých věcí na vybrané sociální skupiny v České republice a na Slovensku. Cílem práce je prostřednictvím komparativní analýzy modelových domácností posoudit daňové zatížení a jeho dopady na obyvatele s různými příjmovými a demografickými charakteristikami. Práce se zaměřuje na identifikaci odlišností v konstrukci daně v obou zemích a na analýzu klíčových faktorů, které ovlivňují její konečnou výši. V praktické části jsou na základě modelových sociálních skupin provedeny výpočty daňové povinnosti, které jsou doplněny citlivostní a regresní analýzou. Na základě zjištění práce nabízí krátké doporučení pro úpravu daňové politiky
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
