Hoci momentálne sa ekonomická situácia v Rusku vyvíja priaznivo a svojou rozlohou a počtom obyvateľov predstavuje táto krajina obrovský trh s nemalým investičným potenciálom, v porovnaní s ostatnými tranzitívnymi ekonomikami sú toky priamych zahraničných investícií do tejto zeme skromnejšie, najmä po prepočítaní investícií na hlavu a následnom porovnaní s ďalšími tranzitívnymi ekonomikami. Pritom PZI sú pre Rusko nutné k obnove priemyslu a infraštruktúry.

Ce travail porte sur l'etude des possibilites d'application en electrosynthese organique du reacteur priam. Ce reacteur est caracterise par une efficacite electrochimique importante et par la possibilite de realiser des depots metalliques homogenes sur une electrode volumique percolante de carbone, depots utilisables comme electrodes en synthese organique. Plusieurs types de reactions electro-organiques sur differentes electrodes sont presentes. Le palladium, prealablement depose sur carbone, permet de realiser des reactions electrocatalysees, notamment l'hydrogenation de l'acide maleique en acide succinique et l'oxydation catalytique du glucose en acide gluconique. Differents parametres experimentaux sont etudies (ph, nature de l'electrolyte support, concentrations, debit d'alimentation). Cette electrode permet, en milieu neutre, la transformation totale et rapide du reactif, avec un bon rendement faradique. Le nickel depose sur l'electrode de carbone est utilise comme catalyseur electrochimique, en milieu alcalin, pour l'oxydation preparative des alcools en carboxylates. Les essais portent sur differents alcools, parmi lesquels le furanedimethanol, le butanediol ou le diacetone sorbose. L'influence de plusieurs parametres experimentaux (mode de travail, temperature, debit d'alimentation du reacteur,) a ete etudiee. L'electrode de nickel, dont la duree de vie peut etre amelioree par adjonction de cobalt et de zinc, permet d'obtenir la transformation quasi-totale des alcools avec de tres bons rendements faradiques. Le reacteur priam permet egalement l'oxydation electroenzymatique du glucose, catalysee par la glucose oxydase en presence d'un mediateur (benzoquinone) faiblement concentre. Le fonctionnement du reacteur priam est etudie selon que l'enzyme est libre en solution, fixee sur le carbone ou encapsulee dans un polymere, le polypyrrole. Les meilleures conditions d'electrosynthese sont observees en fixant l'enzyme sur le carbone, par l'intermediaire d'un carbodiimide

O presente estudo tem como foco a ind?stria cal?adista e a sua rela??o com a fabrica??o de produtos de marcas pr?prias do varejo. O objetivo central est? em analisar os fatores motivadores e restritivos da ind?stria do cal?ado em fornecer marcas pr?prias aos varejistas. A fundamenta??o te?rica est? baseada no tema Marca, seus conceitos, caracter?sticas, a divis?o para marcas de fabricantes e marcas pr?prias. Tamb?m ? abordado o Mercado de Marcas Pr?prias, subdividido em contexto internacional e nacional e ind?strias de marcas pr?prias no varejo cal?adista. E, por fim, trata sobre as Estrat?gias de Marcas, conceitos, caracter?sticas, vantagens competitivas, influ?ncias do marketing nas estrat?gias e estrat?gias para fabricantes de marcas. Atrav?s do m?todo de estudo de casos m?ltiplos, foram realizadas entrevistas em profundidade, aplicadas em seis empresas cal?adistas, selecionadas por julgamento, localizadas na Regi?o Sul do Brasil. O roteiro de entrevistas ? no formato semiestruturado com perguntas abertas, promovendo assim um estudo qualitativo da pesquisa. Para an?lise dos dados, foi realizado um estudo de conte?do das entrevistas e posterior compara??o dos casos. Os resultados foram avaliados sobre quatro categorias principais, que s?o a Evolu??o das Marcas Pr?prias, as Pol?ticas de Marcas Pr?prias por parte dos Fabricantes, os Fatores Motivadores e Restritivos na Produ??o de Marcas Pr?prias e a Percep??o do Fabricante sobre as Estrat?gias de Marcas Pr?prias. Como resultado final, obteve-se uma an?lise do mercado cal?adista de marcas pr?prias sob a perspectiva do fabricante. Os fabricantes cal?adistas reconhecem que h? uma evolu??o das marcas pr?prias do varejo, por?m somente em fun??o do pre?o (inferior). As estrat?gias de marcas pr?prias do varejo adotadas pelos fabricantes n?o est?o formalizadas e documentadas; trabalham de acordo com suas experi?ncias anteriores. Aumento nas vendas, rentabilidade da empresa e continua??o da produ??o s?o alguns dos fatores que motivam a ind?stria fornecer marcas pr?prias dos varejistas. J? o que desmotiva o fornecimento s?o a desvaloriza??o do fabricante pelo varejista, o produto de marca pr?pria ainda ser considerado como de qualidade inferior e o poder de negocia??o do varejo. Para o varejista, a marca pr?pria lhe confere a autonomia do neg?cio, desde a independ?ncia do fabricante at? a n?o formaliza??o dos processos. Observa-se que esse mercado encontra-se atrofiado, distante do ideal. Devido sua hist?ria, a ind?stria cal?adista n?o est? preparada para essa nova condi??o de mercado, que ? a marca pr?pria. O fabricante teve sob seu poder a autonomia do neg?cio, e a marca pr?pria inverte essa rela??o, passando o poder para o varejista, que ? o detentor da marca. ? um mercado incerto, que n?o fornece garantias concretas para a ind?stria do cal?ado.

Les travaux présentés dans ce mémoire constituent une rationalisation de la démarche mise en œuvre dans le projet ESPRIT III-P. R. I. A. M. N°6188 (Prenormative Requirements For Intelligent Actuation And Measurement). Ce projet a pour objectif le prototypage du concept C. M. M. S. (Control, Maintenance And Technical Management System) sur la base d'une distribution de l'intelligence dans les équipements de terrain. Il met en œuvre une approche système permettant d'aboutir à un modèle de référence d'une fonction d'actionnement et de mesure intelligents, intégrant les besoins des utilisateurs et l'offre technologique en vue d'élaborer une proposition prénormative des interfaces fonctionnelles standard garantes de l'interopérabilité des équipements intelligents. En accord avec le précepte systémique qui considère qu'un système peut être caractérisé par trois points de vue complémentaires, le pole fonctionnel (ce qu'il fait), le pole ontologique (ce qu'il est) et le pole génétique (comment il a été construit et ce qu'il devient), nous proposons une heuristique de modélisation fonctionnelle d'un système ami basée sur le principe d'émergence ainsi qu'un meta modèle des interfaces fonctionnelles standard considéré comme un mécanisme de construction d'une application distribuée. Ces propositions sont supportées par l'outil Priam et prototypées sur un exemple de régulation de niveau

International tax planning deals with the tax benefits, their seeking and using by the tax entities and corporations. Even if the tax havens are generally considered as small islands, the different types of tax advantages are offered by the developed countries of the North America or Europe. This paper focuses on the analysis of the inward of foreign direct investments into the European countries with the preferential tax regimes. It explains the relationship between the inward of the investments and the factors which affect them. The inward of the foreign direct investments is the dependent variable, the independent variables are tax rates on corporate income, unemployment, as well as political stability. Although results of econometric analysis did not confirm our initial hypothesis that the lower tax burden will increase the inward of the investments to the country, this increase can be caused under the other circumstances, such as secrecy, property protection, stable political situation or simplicity and utility of the financial markets.

The general objective in this dissertation consists of analyzing the Foreign Direct Investment in the hypermarket chain in Brazil, emphasizing the products of proper mark as differentiation strategy front to the competition. Recently the retail sector comes growing of accented form, stimulated mainly for the strategies of growth adopted by the great hypermarket chain. Beyond investing in technology, expansion of store and internal growth, the great nets follow investing of significant form in the products of Proper Mark (MP). In this segment of products the leader of market CBD/P?o de A??car follows launching new itens of launched currently commercialization and already it possesses more than 14 thousand itens. To verify which the perception of the consumers in relation to the products of MP and which the determinative factors in the choice of the purchase place, a research was accomplished in Volta Redonda city with 187 customers of the Sendas, supermarket that belongs the CBD/P?o de A??car since 2003. It could be concluded there are two distinct strategies in the positioning of the MP products, it can be offered the product as strategy of customer loyalty, in view of that the main consumers of these products are pertaining people to the social class A and B, or can be grow up popularization strategies to increase the willing number of consumers to acquire these products, because the lowest social class still see them with distrust.
O objetivo geral nesta disserta??o consiste em analisar o Investimento Direto Estrangeiro nas redes supermercadistas no Brasil, enfatizando os produtos de marca pr?pria como estrat?gia de diferencia??o frente ? concorr?ncia. Nos ?ltimos anos o setor varejista vem crescendo de forma acentuada, impulsionado principalmente pelas estrat?gias de crescimento adotadas pelas grandes redes supermercadistas. Al?m de investir em tecnologia, expans?o de lojas e crescimento interno, as grandes redes seguem investindo de forma significativa nos produtos de Marca Pr?pria (MP). Neste segmento de produtos a l?der de mercado Companhia Brasileira de Distribui??o/ P?o de A??car segue lan?ando novos itens de comercializa??o e j? possui atualmente mais de 14 mil itens lan?ados. Para verificar qual a percep??o dos consumidores em rela??o aos produtos de MP e quais os fatores determinantes na escolha do local de compra, foi realizada uma pesquisa na cidade de Volta Redonda com 187 clientes do Sendas, supermercado que pertence a CBD/P?o de A??car desde 2003. Conclui-se que existem duas estrat?gias distintas no posicionamento dos produtos de MP, os supermercados podem oferecer o produto como estrat?gia de fideliza??o de clientes, tendo em vista que os principais consumidores destes produtos s?o pessoas pertencentes ?s classes A e B, ou podem criar estrat?gias de divulga??o para aumentar o n?mero de consumidores dispostos a adquirir estes produtos, pois as classes mais baixas ainda os v?em com desconfian?a.

O aumento da expectativa de vida tem proporcionado a mulheres em todo o mundo viver cerca de metade de suas vidas adultas ap?s a menopausa, com defici?ncia de estr?genos. A priva??o hormonal evidenciada a partir desse per?odo de vida traz consigo um grande n?mero de consequ?ncias, incluindo d?ficit cognitivo, mudan?as nos estados de humor, incluindo depress?o e ansiedade, redu??o de qualidade do sono e sintomas caracter?sticos tais como ondas de calor, sudorese noturna, entre outros. O d?ficit cognitivo pode apresentar rela??o com os demais sintomas durante esse per?odo da vida. O objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar o desempenho cognitivo de mulheres perimenop?usicas em fun??o de transtornos de humor, comorbidades, sintomatologia climat?rica e ovariectomia cir?rgica. Sessenta e nove mulheres foram recrutadas na Maternidade Escola Janu?rio Cicco, Natal-RN. O desempenho cognitivo foi avaliado utilizando testes cognitivos para mem?ria verbal epis?dica, e fun??o executiva, incluindo mem?ria operacional, al?m de question?rio para queixas de mem?ria. Foram tamb?m investigados os transtornos de humor (depress?o e ansiedade) e a qualidade do sono. A presen?a de comorbidades e sintomatologia climat?rica foram obtidos atrav?s dos prontu?rios das participantes. As queixas de climat?rio foram mensuradas por meio do ?ndice de Blatt-Kupperman. Todas estas vari?veis, incluyindo a ovariectomia cir?rgica foram utilizadas como preditores do desempenho cognitivo por meio da an?lise estat?stica de modelo linear generalizado, considerando p < 0,05. Maiores sintomas de ansiedade e depress?o e qualidade de sono, foram preditores do desempenho cognitivo para fun??o executiva. Al?m disso, a sintomatologia climat?rica e os sintomas de depress?o foram preditores das queixas de mem?ria, mas as comorbidades n?o predisseram o desempenho cognitivo. A ovariectomia cir?rgica, mas n?o a perimenopausa natural, predisse o desempenho cognitivo dominu?do para mem?ria epis?dica. O hipoestrogenismo agudo vivenciado por mulheres ovariectomizadas cirurgicamente sugere uma r?pida altera??o cognitiva, provavelmente decorrente do efeito degenerativo do d?ficit hormonal. Nestes casos, a terapia de reposi??o hormonal, desde que observados os crit?rios para a sua prescri??o, possivelmente reduziria essa altera??o, como sugere a hip?tese da janela cr?tica de oportunidade. Portanto, no per?odo de transi??o perimenop?usica ocorrem altera??es fisiol?gicas pr?prias desta condi??o, al?m das repercuss?es do hipoestrogenismo sobre a cogni??o, estados de humor e qualidade do sono, de forma que abordagem integrada destes fatores pode favorecer a qualidade de vida das pacientes.
General life expectancy has increased, which has provided to women around the world live about half of their adult lives after menopause, facing estrogen deficiency. Hormone deprivation evidenced in this period of life brings with it a great number of consequences for women, including cognitive deficit, changes in mood such as depression and anxiety, reduced sleep quality, and characteristic symptoms of this period, which includes hot flashes and facial flush, among others. Hence, this research aims to assess whether mood, sleep quality, menopausal complaints and surgical ovariectomy predicted the cognitive performance in perimenopausal women. Sixry-nine women were recruited in the Climacteric Clinic at the Janu?rio Cicco Maternity-School, Natal-RN, Brazil. The assessment of cognitive performance occurred through tests of episodic memory, executive function and a questionnaire of memory complaints. Mood, sleep quality, comorbidities, menopausal complaints and surgical ovariectomy were analyzed as predictors of the cognitive performance. Comorbidities and menopausal symptoms data were collected in the participants? medical records. The menopausal complaints were measured by the Blatt-Kupperman Index. The statistical analysis was conducted using general linear model and all data analysis was considered significant when P-value was < 0.05. Higher anxiety and depression symptoms, as well as worse sleep quality, predicted executive function performance. Also, menopausal complaints and depression symptoms predicted memory complaints, but comorbidities did not predict cognitive performance. Surgical ovariectomy but not natural perimenopause predicted reduced episodic memory performance in women. The acute hypoestrogenism faced by surgically ovariectomized women indicates a fast change in cognitive performance, which may suggest the degenerative effect of hormonal absence and a preventive use of hormone therapy could possibly reduce this alteration, as supported by the critical windows hypothesis. Therefore, in the perimenopausal transition typical physiological alterations are commonly found, as well as hypoestrogenism repercussions on cognition, mood and sleep quality. Hence, an integrated approach of those factors may improve life quality for the climacteric patients.

Introducció: Una prioritat formativa en emergències per als professionals d’atenció primària és el suport vital immediat (SVI) o atenció immediata al pacient crític, i que inclou tot el relacionat amb el suport vital bàsic (SVB) i l’ús del desfibril·lador automàtic (DEA). El curs de SVI està basat en la metodologia A(Airway) – B(Breathing) – C(Circulation) – D(Disability) – E(Exposure), i tot pacient crític hauria de ser tractat segons aquesta metodologia i amb un estricte ordre. En el nostre entorn existeixen dos protocols d’actuació urgent en infart agut de miocardi (Codi IAM) i ictus (Codi Ictus). La formació basada en simulacions és una eina d’ús creixent aquests últims 10 anys. Objectius: Elaborar un instrument per mesurar habilitats en SVI tipus checklist i estandarditzar un model de dinamització i de formació. Elaborar escenaris de simulació d’atenció inicial al pacient crític en un entorn d’atenció primària. Avaluar l’impacte d’una activitat formativa entre metges i infermeres d’atenció primària en el nivell de coneixements i habilitats a curt i mig termini. Avaluar la validesa i acceptabilitat d’un sistema de formació en SVI basat en activitats pràctiques simulades amb feedback immediat. Tipus d’estudi: Estudi d’intervenció, sense grup control, de caràcter obert i de tipus abans-després. Material i mètodes: Checklist del Codis IAM i Ictus per registre i dinamització de la simulació. Escenaris elaborats (cas clínic predefinit). Qüestionari de valoració qualitativa de les simulacions per dinamitzadors i rescatadors/assistents. Test de coneixements de 5 preguntes test. Primera sèrie de simulacions als 8 centres d’atenció primària participants, i als 3 i 6 mesos segona sèrie amb els mateixos centres, dinamitzadors i casos clínics. Es fan avaluacions in vivo d’aquestes simulacions, a una i tres setmanes per valorar concordances i fiabilitats. Resultats: Es van realitzar 48 simulacres vídeo gravats, participant 16 dinamitzadors, 16 rescatadors, 240 alumnes, utilitzant 8 maniquins/pacients simulats (voluntaris). Es van respondre 449 tests de coneixements, que van demostrar puntuacions superiors al final (3,89/5 - DE 1,01) que a l’inici (3,21/5 - DE 1,09), millors puntuacions en professionals que ja han finalitzat la seva formació tant a l’inici (3,27/5 - DE 1,09) com al final (3,89/5 - DE 0,99), i millors puntuacions en metges (3,81/5 - DE 0,97) que en infermeres (3,32/5 - DE 1,15), totes estadísticament significatives. La mitjana de puntuacions de la primera sèrie de simulacres sobre un màxim de 10 punts va ser de 7,7 punts (DE 15,6%), en la segona sèrie de 8,2 (DE 10,6%) en l’avaluació in vivo, de 8,7 (DE 14,8%) en l’avaluació diferida i de 9,1 (DE 7,8) en l’avaluació a les 3 setmanes. Les concordances en les avaluacions de la segona sèrie de simulacions comparant les avaluacions in vivo amb les diferides i amb les fetes a les 3 setmanes, i estratificant els resultats per a cadascuna de les 7 etapes, s’obté un índex Kappa superior a 0,70 (fiabilitat excel·lent) en 2 de les 7 etapes i un índex Kappa d’entre 0,4 i 0,69 (fiabilitat bona) en 5 de les 7 etapes. Conclusions: S’ha elaborat un instrument per mesurar habilitats en SVI tipus checklist i s’ha estandarditzat un model de dinamització i formació. S’han elaborat escenaris de simulació d’atenció inicial al pacient crític amb els codis IAM i Ictus, en atenció primària. L’impacte de l’activitat formativa en SVI entre metges i infermeres millora el nivell de coneixements. S’observa una tendència creixent en les mitjanes de puntuacions dels checklists a mesura que progressen els simulacres, el que es tradueix en una millora de les habilitats a curt i mig termini. Un sistema de formació en SVI basat en activitats pràctiques simulades amb feedback immediat es considera vàlid, fiable i acceptable.
Primary Care Introduction: Immediate life support (ILS) or immediate attention to critical patients are a priority emergency training for primary care professionals. ILS includes everything related to basic life support (BLS) and the use of the defibrillator. The course of ILS is based on the methodology A (Airway) - B (Breathing) - C (Circulation) - D (Disability) - E (Exposure), and all critically ill patient should be treated according to this methodology and a strict order. In our environment there are two urgent protocols to treat myocardial infarction (Codi IAM) and stroke (Codi Ictus). The simulation-based training is a tool with increasing use these last 10 years. Objectives: Develop an instrument to measure skills checklist type ILS and standardize a model of dinamization and training. Develop scenarios simulating initial attention to critical patients in a primary care setting. Evaluate the impact of training activities between primary care doctors and nurses in the level of knowledge and skills in the short and medium term. Assess the validity and acceptability of a system of training in simulated ILS based on activities with immediate feedback. Type of study: intervention group without control, open and before-after type. Methods: Checklist of “Codi IAM” and “Codi Ictus” by recording and dynamic simulation. Scenarios developed (predefined clinical case). Questionnaire qualitative assessment of simulations and rescuers facilitators / assistants. Knowledge test of five quiz questions. First series of simulations in 8 health center of primary care participants at 3 and 6 months and second series with the same health centers, promoters and clinical cases. In vivo evaluations are made of these simulations, one and three weeks to evaluate concordances and reliabilities. Results: We performed 48 simulations video recorded with 16 facilitators, 16 rescuers, 240 students and 8 mannequins/simulated patients (voluntary). They replied 449 knowledge tests, which showed higher scores in the final (3.89 / 5 – SD 1.01) than at initials (3.21 / 5 – SD 1.09), better scores on professionals that had already completed their medical speciality both at the beginning (3.27 / 5 - SD 1.09) and the end (3.89 / 5 – SD 0.99), and higher scores on doctors (3.81 / 5 - 0.97) than nurses (3.32 / 5 – SD 1.15), all statistically significant. The average scores of the first series of simulation based training on a maximum of 10 points was 7.7 points (SD 15.6%), in the second series was 8.2 points (SD 10.6%) in the evaluation in vivo, 8.7 points (SD 14.8%) in assessing deferred and 9.1 points (SD 7.8) in the assessment at 3 weeks. The matches in the evaluations of the second series of simulations compared with in vivo evaluations with deferred and taken to three weeks, stratifying the results for each of the seven stages, was a higher Kappa index 0.70 (excellent reliability) in two of the seven stages and a Kappa index of between 0.4 and 0.69 (good reliability) in five of the seven stages. Conclusions: We developed a tool to measure skills and standardized checklist type ILS model of dinamitation and training. Simulation scenarios have been developed for initial care to critical patients with myocardial infarction and stroke in primary care. The impact of the training activity ILS between doctors and nurses improve the level of knowledge. There is a growing trend in the average scores of checklists as their progress of the simaltion based training, which results in an improvement of skills in the short and medium term. ILS training system based on activities with immediate feedback simulated is considered valid, reliable and acceptable.

A dissertação é constituída por uma introdução geral e por duas partes. Na introdução faz-se uma apresentação geral do pensamento de Tippett, da ópera King Priam e define-se a metodologia do nosso estudo. Na primeira parte, comentam-se a Ilíada e as tragédias gregas na sua matéria relevante para King Priam. Reflecte-se ainda sobre outras influências trágicas nesta ópera. Na segunda parte, analisam-se as noções de liberdade e conflito, conhecimento e ignorância, destino e responsabilidade, à luz da relevância que têm para esta ópera. Comenta-se ainda esta ópera em relação à noção de tempo e, por fim, pensam-se estas questões relacionando-as com o perdão. A biliografia está dividida em duas partes: bibliografia primária e bibliografia auxiliar, com o objectivo de separar os textos dos estudos.
Abstract: This work consists of a general introduction and two parts. In the introduction we aim to convey Tippett’s thought. Next we make a brief description of King Priam’s plot and comment on opera in relation to it. The metodological approach of this work is provided. In the first part, we comment on the Iliad and tragedy in relation to King Priam. We also comment on other tragic issues important for this opera. In the second part, we analise the concepts conflict and freedom, knowledge and ignorance, responsability and destiny in what concerns this opera. We also comment this opera in relation to time and finally we comment on the former concepts in view of the concept of forgiveness. The bibliography is divided into two sections: ‘Bibliografia primária’ e ‘Bibliografia auxiliar’. This structure aims to separate texts from Studies.

In this thesis we provide an updated empirical evidence on the linkage between an exchange rate and foreign direct investments (FDI). On the sample of 40 developing countries receiving FDI flows from five developed OECD econo- mies, we analyse how the strength of exchange rates, exchange rate volatility and currency regime affect FDI. Applying the Hausman-Taylor instrumental variable approach over the analysed period from 1991 to 2010, we have not found unanimous support on the role of exchange rates in influencing FDI. In the thesis, we document that over the last two decades, bilateral exchange rate volatility decreased and this can be assigned to its less-likely influence on FDI. In addition, based on the results of the analysis, we cannot confirm the wealth effect hypothesis that supposes an increase of FDI after real depreciation of developing country's currency. We ascribe this outcome to the development of average real exchange rates of developing countries that exhibited considerable strenghtening during the analysed period. We also find that de facto bilateral fixing of the currencies might be beneficial for FDI flows. The reasoning might lie in the reduction of transaction costs that is linked to credible exchange rates.

This thesis analyses the potential for international cooperation in the issue of corporate tax rates. Using newly created dataset we study the relationship between the foreign direct investments and corporate tax rates in order to confirm that countries benefit from competing in setting their tax rates. Lowering one's corporate tax rate pays off in increased FDI. Furthermore, under the assumption that competitive behavior is individually rational, we analyze through the use of coherent country clusters the extent of competition within selected clusters, as compared to the situation on the global level. We find that the degree of competitive behavior is lower within coherent block of countries than globally. Thus, there seems to be less mutually harmful competition within coherent clusters of countries, mainly in EU 15, OECD and ASEAN, than on the global level.

The thesis discusses the causes of the sudden FDI drop in Slovakia during the economic crisis when R. Fico's government was in power. The drop came after Euro adoption, deep structural reforms and overall attractiveness of the country for the foreign investors. Mainly qualitative methods are utilized in the paper - coding was found to be the most appropriate method to analyze the reasons companies stated for leaving the country. Almost 64% of the investors mentioned crisis as the main cause of their departure. It was followed by company's strategy, the government's policies, strong currency and old machinery and technologies used in the factory. Thus, the hypothesis, which stated that the main reason for FDI plunge were policies of then government in combination with effects of economic crisis, was not confirmed.

The topic of this diploma thesis is direct elections of the President of Slovak Republic in context of other Central European countries - particularly Czech Republic and Poland. The subject of my analysis were selected aspects of presidential election, which I analyzed in the third chapter (in case of Slovakia), dedicated to direct elections of Slovak president in 1999, 2004 and 2009; and in the fourth chapter, which is dedicated to last direct election. Among analyzed aspects (in case of Slovak presidential election) a trend of declining interest in the first round of elections was confirmed; also sooner claiming of candidacy, compared with previous elections. The latter fact is connected with longer and longer pre-election campaign, which is also more and more personal and offensive. The ratio of partisan and non-partisan candidates was in all elections about the same (approx. 3:2 in favor of partisan candidates). In the fifth chapter of the thesis I analyzed these aspects in case of direct presidential elections in Poland and Czech Republic. Then, I compared them. According to analysis, women in Poland almost were not standing for president at all (there were even fewer women candidates than in Slovakia), but in Poland we can see much higher number of very prominent candidates (especially former...

in English language: The statement of Angela Merkel from November 2014 that she would rather see the UK out of the EU than compromise the free movement in the EU (which as at the date of the submission of this dissertation materialized in potential Brexit) was one of the reasons which encouraged the author to analyse the reach of free movement rules, more specifically the horizontal direct effect of the Treaty freedoms, in this dissertation. The author focuses on the issues stemming mainly from the broader topic of the legitimacy of market integration which the author translated into the concept of separation of the regulatory competences between the EU and the Member States and related separation between the Treaty provisions' addressees, namely the Member States and the private entities. This dissertation focuses on the following research question: To what extent has the CJEU advanced the European market integration through the development of the principle of horizontal direct effect of the Treaty freedoms? The starting point after the establishment of the EEC was that the sole addressees of the Treaty freedoms were the Member States whereas the Treaty rules on competition only applied to private entities. However, as is demonstrated throughout this dissertation, it is nowadays generally accepted...
