Mikroplasty a jejich vliv na životní prostředí
Kopicová, Jana
This bachelor thesis deals with plastic pollution in the environment predominantly focusing on microplastics. The aim of the theoretical part is to acquaint readers with the terminological background of plastics and their microscopic parts. This part also contains an overview of current information about sources, presence, and possible impact of microplastics in the environment centring on the water component. The theoretical part further discusses the effect of microplastics on living organisms and one’s health. In the practical part of the thesis, a questionnaire survey was carried out to find out respondents’ opinions and awareness of the given matter. The results of the survey confirmed that most of the respondents, despite being familiar with the term microplastics, are not well informed about their impact on the environment. The survey also indicates that this area lacks public awareness. Furthermore, a comparative analysis shows that more than 80% of the respondents would be in favour of refundable plastic bottles. Finally, the survey appears to confirm that respondents have poorer knowledge in legal regulations dealing with plastic waste.

Long-term trends in the development of unemployment at the municipal level in selected countries of Central Europe
Sauerová, Kristýna ; Netrdová, Pavlína (advisor) ; Šťastná, Simona (referee)
The main aim of this master's thesis is to reveal patterns in spatial differentiation of unemployment at the municipal level in selected Central European countries and its changes in the new millennium. For this purpose, Central Europe is defined as the area of Poland, Czechia, Hungary, Austria, Slovakia, and Slovenia. This research is focused on the identification of spatial clusters of unemployment rates in selected countries by using advanced spatial and statistical methods, such as the Hot Spot Analysis. The outputs of the analysis categorize all municipalities into two main groups - clusters with high unemployment rates and clusters with low unemployment rates. Thereafter, these two categories are subjected to detail quantitative research, which examines their stability over the selected period (from 2005 to 2021). A cluster membership for each municipality is further explained by binary logistic regression models using also spatial, size, and resistance determinants. Finally, the results are explained in historical, social, and economic contexts from the socio-economic geographical view of each country. The analysis work with a database of unemployment rate consisting of data provided by national statistical and labour offices. Data from each office was collected, edited, and entered into a...

Mustelid carnivores of Central Europe in the Quaternary fossil record
Vencová, Barbora ; Horáček, Ivan (advisor) ; Kyselý, René (referee)
The present paper reports results of detailed examination of fossil record of mustelid carnivores deposited in the collections of Faculty of Science, Charles University and National Museum Prague. In total 414 items were analyzed coming from 136 Quaternary and Pliocene community samples (6 MN51-17, 8 Q1, 10 Q2, 2 Q3, 104 Q4) of diverse sites in Czech Republic and Slovakia. Results of detailed biometrical analysis compared with corresponding data obtained in a set of extant taxa (204 ind. 8 spp.) and extensive literary resources revealed presence of 16 taxa (9 extant, 7 fossil). Larger samples enabling a more detailed analysis were available for the genus Martes, and in particular for a groups of Mustela nivalis - M.erminea which composed 77% of all fossil records. The earliest items (MN15-MN17) co-identified with M.pliocaenica conform well to expected common ancestor of both extant species. Yet, also those from the Early Pleistocene (MN17-Q2: M.praenivalis, M.plioerminea) show certain differences, which suggest that phenotype morphocline establishing extant populations established only during the Middle Pleistocene (Q3). A particularly rich sample available from the present glacial cycle (mostly continuous Vistulian - Holocene sequences) revealed unexpected predominance of the glacial records...

Entry knowledge and ideas about Central European states for pupils of younger school age
FLEISCHMANNOVÁ, Tereza
The thesis deals with the scope and the level of entry knowledge and ideas about Central European states for pupils of younger school age. The aim of the work is to evaluate, through a quantitative research inquiry, the comprehensive knowledge of central European countries of pupils in the first grade. The evaluation was carried out on the base of a questionnaire survey of 396 respondents from eight primary schools, allowing an assessment of the level of geographical knowledge of primary pupils in fourth and fifth years. The analytical part of the thesis focuses on results and their comparison according to several categories, which are differences in knowledge across schools, years and gender. This section also looks at the differences arising from the location and size of the primary schools in question and, last not least, the source of this knowledge. The final practical section is based on the results of the survey and contains educational material, which is extended to include a methodical guide for educators and suggestions for teaching central European states.

: Britain's Foreign Policy in Relation to Central Europe during World War Two
HEJLKOVÁ, Marie
The bachelor's thesis is dedicated to British foreign policy towards Central Europe in the period of the Second World War. First it introduces the attitude of the British government towards Central European states and the threat of German expansion before the beginning of the war and shortly after it. With regard to specific circumstances in the occupied areas including the states supporting Germany, the bachelor's thesis describes the main forms of Great Britain's foreign policies and initiatives, including the support of exiled governments, integration of soldiers from occupied countries into the royal military or their activity in secret services and special operations. The bachelor's thesis also includes a special chapter devoted to the role of Great Britain during the negotiations of the post-war arrangement of Europe focusing specially on the Central European space.

The Belt and Road - Is China moving towards the centre of international trade? Assessment of impact on Balkans and Central Europe using network and gravity analysis
Reinštein, Jakub ; Semerák, Vilém (advisor) ; Komárek, Luboš (referee)
The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is a potentially world-changing Chinese economic and geopolitical strategy. In this thesis Gravity Model of Trade (GMT) and Network analysis are employed to assess the relative position of China in the International Trade Network (ITN), the overall impact of BRI, and its effect on countries in Central Eastern Europe and Western Balkans grouped in 17+1 mechanism. The results from Network analysis indicate that since the 1990s China is gradually moving towards the center of ITN. Subnetwork of BRI countries also exhibits higher cohesion and resilience to external shocks than ITN. GMT identified BRI as a significant and positive factor influencing exports, however in case of 17+1 mechanism countries the results are not robust. GMT was also successfully experimentally augmented with Network analysis variables demonstrating its possible enhancements and showing the path for further research. JEL Classification C23, C51, E27, F14 Keywords Gravity Model of Trade, Network Analysis, Belt and Road Initiative, 17+1 Mechanism Title The Belt and Road - Is China moving towards the center of international trade?

Makrofyta v rybnících s různým typem rybářského hospodaření
FRANCOVÁ, Kateřina
Artificial fishponds have been an integral part of the European landscape for centuries. In addition to fish production, they provide important ecosystem services and habitats for biota, including macrophytes. The processes influencing macrophyte assemblages in fishponds are poorly understood and thus they were in the focus of this research. The opening study introduces thesis with a review of available information of historical development of fishponds and relation between fish farm management practices and fishpond macrophyte assemblages. Relevant socio-economic factors and possible effects of climate change are also explored. Comparison with similar wetland habitats shows that fishponds represent valuable systems harbouring many macrophyte species and a range of their rare and threatened taxa. The following study focuses on seasonal and inter-annual differences in vegetation in open water zones of nursery and main fishponds. The results show significant effect of the fishpond use type on macrophyte assemblages with strong decrease in macrophyte species numbers and abundance with increasing fish stock pressure. Stands of aquatic macrophytes commonly more developed in the nursery ponds in the spring of the first year of the production cycle, but variability could be found between ponds for example due to lower water level. While the results showed distinctions in water chemistry, sediment thickness, and adjoining land use, only transparency exerted a significant effect on macrophyte assemblages. Differences in other measured parameters were probably too small to be reflected in macrophyte species composition. Additionally, most macrophytes in our dataset show a broad ecological range. The last part of thesis reports analyses of plant species of reed bed and exposed bottom zones in the same selection of fishponds. As observed in the study of the open water zone, the highest species numbers and abundance were observed in the nursery ponds. The plants of reed beds were mostly affected by the width of the zone and shore slope. Lower slope in most fishponds often allowed development of the dense stands of Phragmites australis, which are highly competitive. They affect light and nutrient availability, produce a high amount of litter and so limit occurrence of other species. This as well as a position in the upper part of littoral, where they might not be affected by fish or water level disturbances so often, led to similarities in reed bed zones between fishpond types. In contrast more open reed bed stands with species such as Typha angustifolia and exposed bottoms allowed development of more species. The plants of exposed bottoms were affected by fishpond use type and adjoining land use type. The reason is lower fish stock pressure and more regular summer and/or winter drainage. Some fishponds or their parts did not have reed beds and exposed bottoms were then directly connected and influenced by surrounding landscape, e.g. ruderal and grassland species such as Barbarea vulgaris and Taraxacum sect. Ruderalia regularly occurred there. Application of fish farming practices is important not only as it is a part of the national heritage, but also to avoid pond terrestrialization. However, modification of farming techniques to best suit individual pond conditions and to adapt to climate change is recommended. Reducing fish stock density when relevant and limiting nutrient input from manuring and supplemental fish feeding may aid recovery of fishpond ecosystems including macrophyte species assemblages.
