Zahraniční obchod České republiky a Nizozemského království
Pouzarová, Kateřina
The thesis deals with foreign trade between the Czech Republic and the Netherlands. For the Czech economy, the Netherlands is becoming an increasingly important trading partner not only in terms of the internal market, where the Netherlands has over 17 million inhabitants, but also due to the technological opportunities and the possibility of re-export to the whole world. The Czech Republic is a highly export oriented country and therefore it is necessary to constantly examine changes in the structure of foreign trade and the influences on it. The thesis examines the effects of GDP, interest rate, population, GDP deflator and real effective exchange rate. While all of the above variables are present in the models of imports into the country, only the real effective exchange rate, the interest rate and population are found to be statistically significant in the modelling of exports. The models were estimated using the OLS method, both for total imports and exports in the cross-border movements of goods concept, but also for the most important catego-ry SITC 7. Given the very significant influence of the automotive industry, which is included in the SITC 7 category, it is necessary to look for new opportunities for Czech exports and to prepare for upcoming changes both in the automotive industry and in the structure of foreign trade overall.

Síbová, Monika ; Šídlo, Luděk (advisor) ; Brázová, Kateřina (referee)
Population development in the Netherlands at NUTS 1 regional level Abstract The main goal of this thesis is to analyze the population development in the Netherlands at the level of NUTS 1 regions in the period 1990-2020. The analysis of population development is based on the comparison of indicators of age structure, fertility, and mortality. The work includes a description of the population development between 1950-1990 and also includes an outline of the historical and social context that determined the country's population development. The work aims to evaluate whether and or how these factors had an impact on the population development of the country and individual NUTS 1 regions. Keywords: NUTS 1, Netherlands, population development, regional differentiation, migration

Transformations of Dutch Populism
Počtová, Tereza ; Charvát, Jan (advisor) ; Salamon, Janusz (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with a strongly resonating topic, populism, specifically with its changes in the Netherlands, especially since the beginning of the millennium, as it was a turning point for populism there. Populism itself has more interpretations, so the first chapter of this thesis deals with its theoretical definition. The next part of the thesis is dedicated to the actors of Dutch populism, especially to Pim Fortuyn and Geert Wilders. Therefore, the chapters deal with the analysis of these politicians, their manifestations, ideologies, controversies and their subsequent comparison. The aim of this thesis is to find out and compare what these actors have in common, the emphasis is put on their political topics and manifestations. In addition to comparison, the aim of this work is to map the gradual success of populism in the Netherlands, which has been on the rise since 2002. The last part of the thesis deals with the impacts of populism on Dutch politics as such.

The development of fertility in the context of populationpolicies in the Netherlands during the period from 1963 to 2006
Kratochvíl, Martin ; Kučera, Tomáš (advisor) ; Kurtinová, Olga (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to describe the development of fertility in the Netherlands during the last half-century and look at it in the context of Dutch population policies in that period. Fertility is represented by the period total fertility rate and some other selected indicators relate to population policies. The second demographic transition theory provides this work with a theoretical basis. The core of the work consists of statistical data analysis, which purpose is to discover and statistically confirm the relationship between the period total fertility rate and population policy mesures implemented by the Dutch governments. Methods used are time series analysis, factor analysis and elements of regression analysis. It was concluded that the influence of most variables on the period total fertility rate cannot be statistically proven. The only indicator that is at least partly related to the period total fertility rate is ratio of female to male hourly wages. The results of this thesis show that the changes in gender equality presumably influence fertility the most.

Clothing in Masterpieces of the Old Flemish School in the 15th Century
Václavíková, Kateřina ; Jarošová, Markéta (advisor) ; Nespěšná Hamsíková, Magdaléna (referee)
The aim of the Bachelor's Thesis is to present an overview of the evolution of the 15th Century Burgunian fashion. The Thesis is based on the study of the masterpices by the Old Flemish painters and iluminators which had been represented by the official clothing of the Burgundian aristocracy and Flemish elite. The attention is espetially paied to the details of clothes, fabrics, patterns and accessoires. Final results are confronted with the literature and the examples from the 15th Century. Burgundian fashion of Western Europe, which evolved from Gothic is continually compared with clothing from renaissantian Italy and the attention is also paied to the contamporary trade with fabrics

Migration, language and integration (Comparison of the Netherlands and Flanders in the 1970s and 1980s)
Vokáčová, Martina ; Stellner, František (advisor) ; Klusáková, Luďa (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the Dutch and Flemish policies towards immigrants in the 1970s and 1980s and the role attributed to language in them. It examines the arguments and concepts by which both the policies were motivated and legitimated and evaluates critically their usual periodization. It points out the risk of a wrong reading of the Dutch "tweesporenbeleid" of the 1970s as based on multiculturalism instead of expectation of return of the immigrants into their home country. It concentrates on the Minderhedennota of 1981/83 as the main turning point leading to the interpretation of the allochton-issue as socio-economic problem and examines the public debate on the basis of documents of the Dutch parliament. The acquisition of Dutch as second language, it states, always played a crucial role in the policies. Since the 1980s, more attention was paid to evaluation of school curricula in terms of non-discrimination of non-native speakers. In the Flemish case, less systematical approaches were stated. The policies were less centralized and crucially influenced by the fact of bilinguism and the competition between Dutch and French in Belgium. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Communities of terrestrial nematodes after different approaches to heathland restoration
Radochová, Petra ; Háněl, Ladislav (advisor) ; Tropek, Robert (referee)
Since the 20th century, the distribution of European heathlands rapidly decreased due to agricultural intensification, heavy use of artificial fertilizers or acidification. Therefore, various attempts of heathland restoration are under way in these days. Analysis of nematode community composition can be one of the tools suitable for succession evaluation. In 2011, 2013 and 2014, soil samples were collected from heathland restoration experiment (launched in 2011) where different restoration methods were applied in a 3 × 3 factorial experiment; existing heathlands were also sampled to identify the target community both in dry and wet heathland. A total of 60 samples of extracted nematodes were analysed for absolute abundance, trophic groups, and genera dominance. Various indices were calculated to describe the nematode community. We were able to proove faster development of wet heathlands towards the target community. However, because of large data variability, there was no significant difference between treatments. Development of wet and dry heathlands differed also in increased proportion of omniphagous nematodes in 2013 and predators in 2014 in dry heathlands. After three years of heathland restoration, nematode community has not yet reached parameters of the target community. Key words: Nematoda,...

Spanish-Dutch relations in the New World during the existence of the West-Indische Compagnie
Kubátová, Eva ; Křížová, Markéta (advisor) ; Skřivan, Aleš (referee) ; Marek, Pavel (referee)
Spanish-Dutch Relations in the New World during the Existence of the West Indische Compagnie Eva Kubátová Abstract This dissertation is dedicated to the Spanish-Dutch relations in the New World during the existence of the first Dutch West India Company (1621-1674). On base of an imagological analysis, this thesis presents elements of mutual relations, reflected in hetero-images, together with self-representation of both analyzed parties (thus self-image) within the ongoing conflict of the Eighty Years' War. The imagological analysis is applied on archival material, chiefly the Dutch pamphlets and Spanish Relaciones de sucesos (which can be translated as "Treatises of Successes"). The result of this thesis is then an analysis of development and changes of mutual images, upon the historical events of the Spanish-Dutch war conflict: thus since the beginnings of the Dutch Revolt, passing through the Twelve Years' Truce, until the signature of the Peace of Westphalia in 1648. A special emphasis is put to the final phase of the Eighty Years' War, in this thesis delimited by the years 1621-1648, which was marked by the official entrance of the West India Company into the Spanish waters of Greater Caribbean. An important watershed in mutual relations is afterwards represented by the Peace of Westphalia, which...

The Politics of Marijuana Legalisation in a Comparative Perspective
Strejček, Vilém ; Franěk, Jakub (advisor) ; Brunclík, Miloš (referee)
This work focus on the issue of potential legalisation of marijuana for recreational use in Czech Republic in comparison with different experiences from two, foreign states of the European Union - Netherlands and Spain. The work begins with a description of a historical context of cannabis use that is subsequently followed by historic and actual state of legislation in Czech Republic. The chapter regarding the situation in Czech Republic is furthermore composed of different opinions of relevant political parties, experts and public opinion polls. The second part is addressing the historical process and actual state of legalisation in Netherlands and Spain that is afterwards also accompanied by the opinions of political parties, experts and public opinion polls, which are focused on actual problems considering the specific type of legalisation in both countries. This chapter is followed-up by a comparison of the Spanish and Dutch model of legalisation and by general summarization of different political and expert opinions across the chosen countries accompanied by the information from the public opinion polls. All the data from the previous chapter are afterwards applied in the final summary of this work, where the comparison of positive and negative aspects of both models are made. In the...
