The Czech retail industry work environment changes in the context of the fourth industrial revolution
Rockson, Scott
This paper sought to assess the impacts of the fourth industrial revolution (also known as Industry 4.0) on the retail industry working environment in the Czechia, how the technological advancements could affect the retail labour, as well as jobs in the retail sector. The Czechia government introduced the concept through a term coined as ‚Prumysl 4.0‘ in the country in September 2015, a national plan to help Czechia to be competitive in its internal sectors, as well as its European counterparts. Three hundred and ninety-nine (399) retail employees in Brno were randomly sampled as respondents for this study. The researcher conducted this study with primary data collected with well-structured and online based questionnaires intended to get information from the retail employees in the Brno area, with both predeermined likert scale options as well as open-ended questions to enable detailed expression of their respective views. Descriptive and quantitative approach were employed in this study to analyze the data collected to make meaningful relations of the responses to the research topic. The data was collected with Google Forms, organized and cleaned with Microsoft Excel, and then analyzed using, tables, as well as descriptive analysis, graphs and charts from Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 27.0.1 software. This study revealed that the retail environment has seen implementation of Industry 4.0 technologies and the employees have been trained to use these new technologies. Employees disclosed how some of their manual tasks have been taken over by the use of technology, thus making their job easier, but then again redcing the tasks for them to work on. The forseeable future of the retail employees was found to be lesser and lesser jobs and tasks in the retail sector, thus, making it necessary for them to embrace the changes, equip themselves with the necessary skills to stay relevant and adapt to these inevitable impacts. The author has made some propositons to the government, retail sector, and its employees in order to survive the impacts of this revolution.

Problematika invazních druhů raků na území České republiky
Čuprová, Veronika
The diploma thesis following the bachelor thesis "Invasive species in the Czech Republic" is focused on the issue of invasive species of crayfish. The aim of the thesis is to describe the legislation, the current method of monitoring these species and the possibilities of their regulation. The thesis deals with the monitoring of invasive crayfish species at two selected sites in the Czech Republic and the application of appropriate regulatory interventions. Along with the monitoring, water samples were taken and analyses for the presence of crayfish plague were carried out. The results show that at the Prostřední rybník site, where the marbled crayfish occurs and where eradication measures have been underway since 2020, it has still not been completely successfully eradicated. From the interview conducted with local respondents, it was found that about half of the respondents are aware of this issue, thanks to the actions carried out to eliminate this species and the information boards posted in the area. In addition to the signal crayfish, a small population of the native endangered river crayfish is also present at Besének. Regulatory measures have also been implemented at this site in order to eliminate this invasive species as much as possible and to prevent potential threats to the native crayfish. Based on the results obtained, further possible control measures were proposed at both sites. In the future, more focus should be placed on education of this highly topical issue, as public awareness and understanding is considered one of the most effective preventive measures.

Care of child with physical disorders and its impact on family life
MRVÍKOVÁ, Anežka
The bachelor's thesis deals with the issue of care for a child with a physical disability and its effects on family life, from the perspective of parents of children. The aim of this work is to find out what all care for a child with a physical disability entails and to analyze its effects on the family. The partial goal is to identify what positives and negatives this care entails. The research was done with a qualitative strategy, a method of questioning using the technique of uncontrolled interview. Interviews were conducted with parents of children with physical disabilities who have been caring for the child for at least 5 years. The research results were processed by the method of creating tufts. The results show that caring for a child with a physical disability is very demanding for all families, the level of difficulty and the number of impacts is greatly affected by the degree of disability, other siblings, the quality of the partnership, but also the relationship with other family members or friends. Care in the interviewed families also had a great impact on the social life of the family, which families usually had to reduce, or on the economic situation of the family, it turned out that all interviewed families had to use the help of public collections at least once. However, caring for a child with a physical disability not only has a negative impact on the functioning of the family, most communication partners stated that it was only thanks to a child with TP that they stopped living a superficial life and changed their personal priorities and values. In practice, this bachelor's thesis could be used mainly for all professionals working with this social group, so that they can empathize with all the contexts associated with the care of a child with a physical disability.

Invasive water invertebrates in Czech Republic
Kolářová, Lucie ; Tátosová, Jolana (advisor) ; Dočkalová, Kateřina (referee)
An introduction of invasive species is considered to be one of the most actual problems of these days and is also related with water environment and water invertebrates. Occurences of many non-native species has been recorded in waters of the Czech Republic and these species can be divided into two groups. Species of the first group are invasive alien species - their ecological patterns (e.g. high growing rates, high reproductive capacity or ability to transfer exotic diseases) make their spreading more successful. North-American crayfish species (Orconectes limosus and Pacifastacus leniusculus), Dreissena polymorpha or Dikerogammarus villosus are the typical representatives of this group. The spreading of these species is very remarkable, since their introduction causes many harmful effects and has negative impacts on native fauna. However, the appearance of other group of water invertebrates has been found in our waters. These are also non-indigenous species, but their spreading is very inconspicuous - they do not reach high population densities and their invasion does not cause negative impacts on native fauna and ecosystems. The evidence of these harmless invasive species has been recorded thanks to the monitoring programs and we possibly wouldn't know about them without this monitoring. The...
