Vítková, Kateřina ; Sehnálková, Jana (advisor) ; Anděl, Petr (referee)
The Comparison of the U.S. Security Policy Measures in Relation to the DPRK's Nuclear Program Adopted by the Administrations of Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama monitors the responses of Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama and their Administrations to the North Korean nuclear tests carried out in 2006, 2009 and 2013. It seeks to identify similarities and differences between these Administrations and prove the thesis that the steps taken by the United States under Barack Obama were in effect just as inefficient as those taken by his predecessor. The paper concentrates on the time period beginning with the situation before the first North Korea's nuclear test until the autumn 2014. The methodology includes a qualitative approach and comparison. The reactions are divided into several groups: rhetoric, strategic documents, legislation, economic aspects etc. In conclusion it notes that while the attitude of both Presidents and their Administrations was in certain aspects similar, number of factors that distinguish them might be indentified as well. Barack Obama focused more on the region of Asia. His attitude towards the DPRK appeared to be more balanced but it still did not lead to the coveted breakthrough in the negotiations.

Vítková, Kateřina ; Odvárka, Antonín (referee) ; Marek, Jiří (advisor)
It is a project of a transfer terminal in Dvur Kralove nad Labem, which is to allow easy transfer of train / bus. New terminal include additional features and services. I also focused on the connection to the surroundings, creating a new vision for the solution of the whole territory, which border street 28th of October, Benesovo nabrezi, Alesova and Dvorakova streets. Along the Alesova Street are designed multifunctional houses with underground parking. Between the terminal and the residence there is a park that allows access to the train and bus in several directions. On the side of Benesovo nabrezi, I placed an indoor pool with a wellness center. There is also a café with an outdoor terrace, a bicycle storage room, a bicycle rental and an information tourist center. The main station building also includes a post office, a grocery store and a bakery.

To Dvur Kralove by train - Transfer Terminal in Dvur Kralove nad Labem
Vítková, Kateřina ; Kristek, Jan (referee) ; Mléčka, Jan (advisor)
Design of transfer terminal for Dvůr Králové nad Labem, which will allow the transfer between the train, regional bus and urban public transport and will connect the city to the overall infrastructure of the Czech Republic. It is intended to use the existing industrial spur leading from the railway station to the Teplárna Dvůr Králové nad Labem. In addition to its own transport function, the design of the civic amenities is also envisaged. The new terminal will also serve as a gateway to the city. When designing a conceptual solution, it was a decisive intention to take the terminal as a place where the transport solution goes hand in hand with the public space. Terminal is in this case undeunderstood as an impetus for the development of the territory. Not only it does have to fulfill its transport function perfectly, it should also serve as a public space and connect neighboring non-homogeneous entities. Definition (promenade), filling / interconnection (trees), opening (free area - soft border). The contrast of the covered subtle promenade and the massive masses. The two sides of the triangular parcel are clearly defined by the covered promenade. To the so-called street queue are placed individual functions in the form of units 6x6 m. From the west direction there is the ending of railway inserted to the promenade and an island platform used also for the tram stop, which passes the passage from the inside. The resulting courtyard is formed by a regular tree raster, which creates a clearly defined composite space in a disparate area. This "forest" optically unifies the site and acts as the core of the entire terminal. In perspective freake, the forest while passing through the terminal change, sometimes it creates lines, sometimes surfaces. It does not define clearly the exit nor the entrance, it is open in all directions. Bus platforms are integrated into the raster of trees. While waiting for the bus, one is protected by a vault of trees. Buses leave the orchard and pass through the promenade out of the terminal to 28th October street. Towards the center, Tesco and Christmas decorations, the open space is created, creates a soft border, allows free movement of people in all directions. The vision for the future also involves continuation of the tram line further into the center. The tram would go through the tree trunks out of the terminal around the Christmas decorations. Neighboring Tesco is seen here as an opportunity, it is embedded in the terminal area, its function at the station is more than welcome. The whole traffic of the terminal is one way. All the traffic comes from the west side. Buses pull away to the street of 28 October. Tramway to Benešovo nábřeží. The train ends here.

HPLC determination of thiamine in barley, malt and food supplements
Vítková, Kateřina ; Běláková, Sylva (referee) ; Vespalcová, Milena (advisor)
The aim of this diploma thesis is focused on determination of B vitamin in food especially in malting barley and malt. This diploma thesis is consists of theoretical and experimental parts including the conclusion and supplements. Theoretical part describes thiamine characteristic, chemical structure, chemical and physical properties, function of thiamin in organism, impact it´s insufficiency to the human health, occurrence in common food and methods for it´s determination. Further are describing theoretical principles of high-efficiency liquid chromatography, chromatography on reverse phase, derivatization and ways of validation. In the Experimental section is detailed description of used method for determination of thiamine in barley and malt, fresh mash and beer but also in common food supplements as are B-kompex, Pangamin and Thiamin. Determination was made by high-efficiency liquid chromatography on reverse phase with isocratic elution and fluorescent detection. Next part introduce the results of theses, discussion of experimental work, volume of thiamine in analyzed food and validation parameters of used method. In the conclusion are valorized results of experimental work. In the attachment are graphs of standard curves, chromatogram and calculations of validation parameters. Diploma thesis was realized in laboratory of Chemistry and Technology of Foodstuff, Faculty of chemistry, Brno University of Technology.
