The goal of this paper is to evaluate the state-of-the-art and potential of interactions between universities and firms, using the Zlinsky region as a case study. Practically, attitudes of firms located in the Zlinsky region towards their cooperation with the Tomas Bata University in Zlin are surveyed on the basis of questionnaire research. Theoretically, this paper is embedded in the debate on changing missions of universities. The findings point at a high share of firms which declare some form of interactions with the Tomas Bata University in Zlin. However, considering human and social capital, these interactions are frequent only in rather less progressive forms of interactions. More progressive interactions between firms and academics are rather scarce. Furthermore, the findings show a high potential to stimulate more progressive forms of interactions between firms and the Tomas Bata University in Zlin related to human and social capital. It is noteworthy that human and social capital of the university is not perceived as a barrier by the firms in our sample. On this basis, the development of support measures for creating links between academics from the Tomas Bata University in Zlin and firms in the Zlinsky region is recommended.
This paper focuses on the improvement of the health characteristics in European countries including the life expectancy of their inhabitants. The primary objective is to describe, compare and analyze the status and development in the Czech Republic and other countries of the European Union in terms of the key health care indicators and population health status in relation to the economy related indicators the authors have chosen. The secondary objective is to verify the hypothesis which states that the health status of the population represented by the indicator of life expectancy is closely related to the economic level of individual countries as well as to the amount of total expenditure on health care. Based on the results of the analysis we can conclude that the Czech Republic balances on the border of the group of countries with average values of indicators and the group with poorer values. The results also suggest relatively strong ties between the economic level and health status of the population represented by life expectancy.
Lidský kapitál představuje jeden z hlavních faktorů současných úvah o příčinách existence regionálních disparit a o stimulaci regionálního rozvoje. V tomto ohledu je proces tvorby lidského kapitálu spojován se zvyšováním produktivity, přičemţ tvorba lidského kapitálu je zaloţena na procesech vzdělávání a učení. Lidský kapitál je současně vnímán jako jeden z významných faktorů regionální diferenciace a jako takový získal své pevné místo v kohezní politice, která usiluje o redukci prostorových disparit. Tento článek se zaměřil na prostorovou analýzu projektů podpořených z Operačního programu Vzdělávání pro konkurenceschopnosti, který lze vnímat jako nejvíce relevantní pro problematiku lidského kapitálu a vzdělávání mezi českými operačními programy. Poznatky analýzy ukázaly na jistý stupeň nejednoznačnosti závěrů analýzy vzhledem ke konvergenčnímu cíli kohezní politiky. Takto byly projekty alokovány ve všech okresech České republiky, ale současně lze identifikovat významný vliv faktoru sídelní hierarchie. Zásadní roli v regionální diferenciaci rovněţ hraje absorpční kapacita institucí terciárního vzdělávání.
