Dear Incoming Students Dear incoming students, The time of your arrival to Brno and Masaryk University is approaching and therefore I would like to give you more details about your arrival and the first days of your stay in Brno. How to get to Brno from Prague or Vienna airport? 1- Take the Student Agency Express bus (from Prague to Brno, you will have to change a bus at main bus terminal Florence in Prague, from Vienna to Brno the bus is direct). There is a ticket office at Terminal 1 in Prague, in Vienna there is no ticket office, from either Prague or Vienna you can buy your ticket in advance and pay by credit card, it is really easy: a. Go to: http://jizdenky.studentagency.cz/Booking b. In the place “Station of departure” choose: Praha Ruzyne - letiste terminal 1, in the place “Station of arrival” choose: Brno c. Change the suitable time and click on the orange button with the price. d. Choose the seat number on the bus and click on “Create reservation”. e. Continue with the payment. f. After doing all of this, you will be able to print out your electronic bus ticket; you will also receive a confirmation email. 2- Take the train from Prague to Brno, in this case, you need to take the city shuttle bus to get to the centre and then take the underground (metro) to get to the train station (ask at the info desk at the airport for details). There are two possible train stations: Praha hlavni nadrazi, and Praha-Holesovice, you can check the train schedule online at http://jizdnirady.idnes.cz/vlakyautobusy/spojeni/, switch into English (bottom right corner) and insert the data needed as follows: a. In the place From: write either Praha hl.n., or Praha,Holešovice, in the place To: write Brno hl.n. b. Change the date and time according to your arrival to Prague (please do not forget to count at least 2 hours extra time to get to the train station from the airport, it does not take that long but since you do not know the way, you must count some extra time to find it and time to buy the ticket at the train station to be in the safe side!). c. Click on SEARCH d. You will then get the list of all possible trains, make sure to choose only a direct train to Brno so that you do not have to change the train somewhere. The trip from Prague train station to Brno will take around 3 hours. If you are taking the train from Vienna to Brno, then you need to take the bus from Vienna airport to the train station, take the bus that takes you to (Wien Meidling) From there, you can take a direct train to Brno main station (Brno hl.n.). To check the train schedule from Vienna to Brno, go to http://jizdnirady.idnes.cz/vlakyautobusy/spojeni/ and follow the same steps as mentioned above, but instead of Praha stations, you will write the name of the station in Vienna, that is Wien Meidling. The trip takes around 1.5 hours. If both cases (bus or train) from either Prague or Vienna, you will reach the same destination in Brno, that is Brno main station (in Czech: Brno hlavni nadrazi), from there, you could either take a taxi to Vinarska residence (it would cost you a maximum of 400 CZK - approx. 15 EUR), or you can ask your tutor to wait for you there to lead the way to Vinarska.

  • Czech Republic November 2012: First Sanction on Predatory Pricing Squashed by the Court (STUDENT AGENCY)
    Czech Republic November 2012: First Sanction on Predatory Pricing Squashed by the Court (STUDENT AGENCY) Kluwer Competition Law Blog November 21, 2012 Arthur Braun (bpv Braun Partners ) Please refer to this post as: Arthur Braun, ‘Czech Republic November 2012: First Sanction on Predatory Pricing Squashed by the Court (STUDENT AGENCY)’, Kluwer Competition Law Blog, November 21 2012, http://competitionlawblog.kluwercompetitionlaw.com/2012/11/21/czech-republic-november-2012-first-sanctio n-on-predatory-pricing-squashed-by-the-court-student-agency/ In November 2010, the Czech Antitrust Office handed down its first ever decision to penalise predatory pricing, dealing with the dominant operator of public passenger coach services between the two largest Czech cities, Praha and Brno. The decision to issue a fine was confirmed during administrative appeal proceedings but was reversed by the Administrative Court in Brno on 9 November 2012 and the case was sent back to the case-handling level. The 2010 decision was the first case that the new economic approach used by the Czech Antitrust Office was used extensively but the appeal by STUDENT AGENCY was successful on base of the wrong definition of the relevant market The practice covered a time span of only a few months in which time STUDENT AGENCY, reduced the fare for the bus trip of more than 200 km to about 2 EUR one-way (for the cheapest way of buying tickets) after a competitor threatened to increase its market position by offering very low introductory fares (also 2 EUR) in order to gain market awareness. The fare charged by STUDENT AGENCY was increased back to its previous levels once the competitor had left the particular route.

  • Bat Casualties by Road Traffic (Brno-Vienna)
    Acta Theriologica 54 (2): 147–155, 2009. PL ISSN 0001–7051 Bat casualties by road traffic (Brno-Vienna) Jiøí GAISLER, Zdenìk ØEHÁK and Tomáš BARTONIÈKA Gaisler J., Øehák Z. and Bartonièka T. 2009. Bat casualties by road traffic (Brno-Vienna). Acta Theriologica 54: 147–155. We studied the impact of road E461, Brno-Vienna, on bat mortality, with the goal to predict this impact after the road has been reconstructed and turned into highway, R52. In the Czech territory, two proposed road sections of E461 were selected, 3.5 and 4.5 km long, and divided into segments 100 m in length. Bat carcasses were picked up from emergency stopping lanes, and bat activity was recorded by ultrasound detectors along the road and 100 m away on both sides from the central strip. From May to October 2007, 25 checks of bat mortality performed at weekly intervals revealed 119 bat car- casses representing 11 or 12 species. Pipistrellus nathusii, P. pygmaeus and Myotis daubentonii were the most frequent traffic casualties. The greatest mortality was documented from early July to mid-October, with a peak in September. Monitoring bat activity by ultrasound detectors (one night per month in May, June and September) yielded 12 bat species and 3 spe- cies couples (Myotis mystacinus/brandtii, M. emarginatus/alcathoe, Plecotus auritus/austriacus), mostly the same taxa as found dead on the road. Signifi- cantly greater bat numbers were revealed in the section where the road was situated between two artificial lakes, as compared to a road section without any lakes directly adjacent to the road.

  • The Housing First for Families in Brno Trial Protocol
    Research Notes 133 The Housing First for Families in Brno Trial Protocol: A Pragmatic Single-Site Randomized Control Trial of Housing First Intervention for Homeless Families in Brno, Czech Republic Štěpán Ripka, Eliška Černá, Petr Kubala, Ondřej Krčál and Rostislav Staněk University of Ostrava Masaryk University in Brno \ Abstract_While the Pathways to Housing First (HF) model was designed for ending homelessness of individuals with complex needs, the use of a housing- led approach with families has been documented since late 1980s in the US. New target groups bring new demands on the knowledge base – to date, there has not been any Randomised Controlled Trial (RCT) on family HF intervention. This protocol describes the design of a Czech single-site demonstration of RCT with a treatment group of 50 families and presents results of statistical compliance testing of the treatment and control group at baseline. This project is a pragmatic, mixed methods, single-site field trial of the effectiveness of Housing First in Brno, Czech Republic randomised 150 participant homeless families, stratified by number of children, into treatment and control groups. Quantitative outcome measures are collected over a 12-month period and a qualitative process evaluation is being completed. Primary outcomes being measured include a decrease in time the family spent homeless, improvement in security of tenure, improvement of mental health of mothers, and decrease in the use of emergency health services. \ Keywords_Housing first, Randomized Control Trial, homeless families, Czech Republic ISSN 2030-2762 / ISSN 2030-3106 online 134 European Journal of Homelessness _ Volume 12, No. 1, June 2018 Introduction Family homelessness in the Czech Republic and in Brno In 2015, the Czech government estimated there were 68,500 roofless and houseless people in the country, out of them 8,158 children and an additional 118,500 people including children in insecure or inadequate housing (MPSV, 2016).

  • INTO the MARKET in the SLOVAK REPUBLIC Natália Stalmašeková
    MARKETING IDENTITY THE ENTRY OF A FOREIGN COMPANY (‘THE NEW BRAND’) INTO THE MARKET IN THE SLOVAK REPUBLIC Natália Stalmašeková – Jana Štofková Abstract The entry of any company into the market always brings certain risks and unpredictable events, even if it is a well-known brand with an established reputation. The company must be able to assess entry barriers into its new market and be able to overcome them effectively. At first sight, the Slovak rail passenger transport market could seem a disadvantageous area for new entrants. Železničná spoločnosť Slovensko, with the state as 100% shareholder, had a monopoly on this market and on top of that, this company provided unpaid transport for chosen segments of passengers. Another drawback is the poor condition of the track network, which affects the speed of transportation. However, a successful company should be able to use these conditions for its own benefit and bring change and innovation to such an industry. The Czech company RegioJet inc, has decided to enter this sector and try to entice Slovak passengers with its services, which have not yet been offered by anybody else. Key words: Marketing research. Rail passenger transport. RegioJet Inc. Introduction The end of 2014 brought big changes for the Slovak rail passenger transport market. On November 17th, the state began to cover the full cost of tickets for selected passenger groups, which caused a significant increase in passenger numbers from these groups. On December 14th, the Czech private company RegioJet began a service on the Bratislava – Žilina – Košice line. Until that date, Železničná spoločnosť Slovensko was the single carrier in rail passenger transport on this route.

  • Analysis of Life Quality Development in the Administrative Districts of South Moravia
    Analysis of life quality development in the administrative districts of South Moravia Analýza vývoje kvality života mezi okresy Jihomoravského kraje I. Živělová, J. Jánský Department of Regional and Business Economics, Faculty of Regional Development and International Studies, Mendel University of Agriculture and Forestry, Brno, Czech Republic Abstract: The equable regional development and mitigation of disparities among the individual regions are main obje- ctives of regional policy not only in the Czech Republic but in the whole European Union. The paper presents an analysis of life quality disparities among the administrative districts of the South-Moravian region (Jihomoravský kraj): Blansko, Brno-City, Brno-Province, Břeclav, Hodonín, Vyškov and Znojmo. The region of South Moravia belongs to the regions with a significant economic potential. However, not all districts contribute to this potential equally, the reason being the- ir size, population and life quality. Life quality is affected by the environmental, social and cultural resources and by the region’s economic performance. It can be viewed from various aspects. The work is focused on the life quality indicators of social and cultural resources, which assess demographic development, age and intelligence structures, employment, unemployment and labour market, health care standard and civil amenities. The statistical analysis of the acquired data was made by using the methods of regression and correlation analyses and the cluster analysis. Key words: region, regional disparity, life quality, social aspects, South Moravia, district Abstrakt: Zabezpečení rovnoměrného rozvoje regionů a snižování disparit mezi jednotlivými regiony patří k hlavním cílům regionální politiky nejen v České republice, ale i v celé Evropské unii.
