Temporal Evolution of Dry and Wet Conditions in the Czech Republic During the Growing Season
Potop, V. ; Boroneant, C. ; Možný, Martin ; Štěpánek, Petr ; Skalák, Petr
In the present study, the Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) was adopted to assess temporal evolution of wet and dry months during growing season (April to September) in the Czech Republic based on a dense network of 184 climatological stations for the period 1961–2010. The SPEI were calculated with various lags, 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 months because the drought at these time scales is relevant for agricultural, hydrological and socio-economic impact, respectively. To assess the temporal evolution of dry and wet conditions during the growing season, first, the monthly time series of the SPEI for the months April to September were averaged at each station for each SPEI accumulation period (1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 months, respectively). Then, these SPEI time series were averaged over all 184 stations to get a time series of drought index at country level. The temporal evolution of the SPEI with one month lag represents the year by year moisture characteristic of the current growing season. In this respect, at country level, during the second half of the 20th century and the first decade of 21st century, the hierarchy of the driest years during the growing season was 2003, followed by 1992, 2000, 1983, 1982, 1976, 2009 and 1999. On the other hand, the wettest years during the growing seasons were 1965, 2010, 1977, 1996, 1966, 2001, 1972, 1980 and 1995.

Analysis of Rainfall Intensity in the Area of Brno
Štěpánek, Petr ; Zahradníček, Pavel ; Doleželová, M.
The measurements of 18 stations in the area of Brno, in the Czech Republic, were established for the purpose of better management of the city sewerage system. The background for the measurements was to propose optimizations for the sewerage network for occasions of extremely intense precipitation. The automatic precipitation stations (instrument type SR 02) were installed with respect to the prevailing wind direction (inflow), and at least four stations were situated along the main sewerage routes (Prax et al., 2010). These measurements were combined with the measurements of CHMI. Before evaluation of the measurements, quality control was executed on the daily sums and 15-minute precipitations and all suspicious data were compared with radar measurements and erroneous input data were removed. From this quality-controlled data, the maxima of precipitation sums for durations of 5, 10, 15 and 60 minutes were calculated for the given time frames (months, seasons and years) and were spatially analyzed.

Climate Change in the Area of the Czech Republic according to Various Model Simulations
Štěpánek, Petr ; Skalák, Petr ; Farda, Aleš ; Zahradníček, Pavel
In recent years, simulations from various regional climate models became available for the area of the Czech Republic, thank to several national or international projects (e.g. the EC FP6 projects CECILIA, ENSEMBLES or VaV). The simulations of the all models were performed according to the IPCC A1B emission scenario with various spatial resolutions. Since models suffer from biases, the model outputs were statistically corrected using the quantile approach of M. Déqué. After correction, RCM outputs were statistically processed and analyzed. In this paper, the differences between models outputs, as well as corrected and uncorrected results, are presented.

Positive and negative effects of globalization on product design
Kubíčková, Jana Ada ; Hanzlík, Jan (advisor) ; Štěpánek, Petr (referee)
The thesis discuses the effects of globalization on product design. The aim of the thesis is to describe the changes of factors that affect product design and the impact of these changes on product design. The first part of the thesis is devoted to the definition of terms employed, particularly the terms globalization and product design. In the second part, the concept of glocalization is described and demonstrated, which is closely related to globalization. Changes brought about by globalization of all factors influencing product design mentioned in the first part are considered while the practical impact of these changes is demonstrated on various examples from everyday life.

Comparisson of legal frameworks for cohesion policy within the current and next programming period
Meloun, Ondřej ; Štěpánek, Petr (advisor) ; Černý, Pavel (referee)
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to provide the reader with basics of the legislative framework of the cohesion policy of the European union within the current programming period 2007-2014. The emphasis is put on the implementation of the cohesion policy on the national level. The thesis should acquaint the reader with bodies and procedures, which have been set by the Comission towards transparent execution of the policy. The second part of this thesis deals with the main differences and changes the Comission proposed in proposals of the Cohesion policy regulations. Finally, the last part deals with the revenue-generating projects and will define the main changes in the methodology. For purposes of this thesis was chosen the priority axis "The Improvement of Water Management Infrastructure and Reduction of Flood Risks".
