Fire as an alternative way of the landscape management
Maximov, Fedor ; Novák, Jan (advisor) ; Adámek, Martin (referee)
Prescribed burning is a method that has been used since prehistoric times to keep unforested areas. In pastures, fire was used to remove dead biomass, return nutrients to the soil and improve forage quality, as well as to convert forests fields to a shifting agriculture. The abandonment of burning in the last century has led to an accumulation of plant biomass in the landscape. This, combined with global warming, is now creating the threat of dangerous fires. In 2022, controlled burning was allowed in the Czech Republic as a way of managing habitats that are at risk of becoming woodland without proper management. Rare heliophilous plant and animal species are tied to them. It would therefore be advisable to reintroduce this management method, together with monitoring and control of its effects on species and communities. The aim of this backelor thesis is to summarise the existing knowledge about prescribed burning in Europe. It also describes how controlled burning affects the dynamics of dry grasslands and heathlands. The main focus is on attributes of controlled burning that can be used to maintain selected habitats. Keywords: fire, vegetation, landscape management, succession

Fire Ecology of Temperate Forest Ecosystems of Northern Hemisphere
Scalabroni, Jane ; Adámek, Martin (advisor) ; Novák, Jan (referee)
Forest fires differ in their nature and in the way they influence vegetation. Some of these factors include abiotic conditions that stem from geographic location and local specifics of the individual stands. Local vegetation can, among others, affect litter flammability and/or the way in which fires spread (for ex. into the crown). We also discern several plant functional types depending on their response to fire. The influence of fire on vegetation can be followed in the opposite direction as well, in regards to the successional development on burned locations. This study provides a comparison of the fire regimes of pine, beech, spruce and oak habitats across the boreal and temperate zone of the northern hemispehre. It contains information about the fire type and its progression, the fire historires of discussed study sites and the mutual relationship of fire and vegetation. Pine habitats have proven to burn most frequently, as opposed to beech forests, which seldom burn. In the chapter dedicated to oak forests, this study also touches on the topic of prescribed fire. There is also a segment dealing with the topic of spruce beetles included in the study. The amount of available literature differs within the topic, which is reflected proportionately within this study. It comes to show that although...

Current state of development of the longitudinal arch of the foot in Czech preschool children
Novák, Jakub ; Sedlak, Petr (advisor) ; Zemková, Daniela (referee)
The aim of the thesis is to evaluate the current state of development of the longitudinal arch of the foot in Czech preschool children. The preschool age is characterized by the most intensive development of the longitudinal arch, and at the end of this period, its condition becomes fixed. The natural development of the longitudinal foot arch is influenced by a number of internal and external factors, including genetic predispositions such as age, gender, or body weight, as well as environmental and lifestyle factors such as footwear habits or level of physical activity. The trend of insufficient physical activity observed in the current population could negatively affect the development of the arch due to insufficient stimulation of its structures, thus having a lasting impact on the individual's quality of life. The results showed that children in our sample exhibited a higher prevalence of unformed foot arch compared to data from previous studies. Significant intersexual differences were observed in the dynamics of arch development. While there is a sharp increase in the proportion of formed arch among girls between 4 and 5 years old, this increase is gradual among boys. Furthermore, a significant relationship was demonstrated between the degree of arch formation and the first body...

Tools for creating interactive videos
Hornek, Miroslav ; Jeřábek, Tomáš (advisor) ; Novák, Jaroslav (referee)
This bachelor thesis focuses on the significance of interactive video creation in the digital era, where visual content plays a crucial role in communication and interaction. In the context of constantly evolving technologies, the creation of interactive videos gains importance not only in education, marketing, and entertainment but also in various other human activities. The aim of this thesis is to explore and analyse various aspects of tools for interactive video creation, from the historical development of video to the current state and prospects. It encompasses a comprehensive view of the multimedia environment and its relationship with interactive video, including digital content forms that contribute to its dynamism and effectiveness. Furthermore, the thesis examines the utilization of interactive videos in education and their role in increasing engagement and teaching effectiveness. It analyses standards for interactive video creation and various interactive elements that can enhance user experience. A key part of this thesis is a detailed analysis of current development environments for interactive video creation and their application in education. The thesis provides an overview of tools for interactive video creation with an emphasis on their use in education and training, contributing...

Detached house with a workshop CABAS
Novák, Jakub ; Vaněk, Vojtěch (referee) ; Jelínek, Petr (advisor)
The main topic of this bachelor’s thesis is the development of a construction project at the level of construction documentation for a family house in accordance with applicable legislation. The objective of the thesis is to design and describe the proposed layout of the building, appropriately choose the construction system and materials, address the site's integration into the terrain considering the current state of the plot, and respect the surrounding development. The basis for the work was the municipality’s zoning plan, the real estate cadastre, and a geological map. The new building will be located on a flat plot in a quiet and new part of the village of Městec Králové. The proposed family house is a two-story structure without a basement, designed for the living needs of four people. The project focuses on creating a functional home with optimal use of space and separation of different zones. The construction system is wall-based. The exterior walls are made of ceramic blocks with external contact insulation. The roof of the second floor is designed as a flat green roof with an attic. On the first floor, there is a communication and social zone, which includes the living room, dining area, kitchen corner, and a business area featuring a pedicure salon. The second floor comprises a separate quiet zone with children's rooms and a bedroom, along with a storage room and a study. Both floors have a bathroom with a toilet, with the bedroom having an en-suite bathroom with a toilet.

Crimes related to the abuse of addictive substances
Novák, Josef ; Říha, Jiří (advisor) ; Richter, Martin (referee)
Crime related to substance abuse This thesis focuses on the issue of crime related to substance abuse and, in particular, on the issue of relationship between property crime recidivism and drug use. Drug use is widely recognised as a known criminogenic factor. The relationship between drug use and crime in general has been the subject of many research studies and scientific papers in the past. Property crime recidivism in relation to drug use is a similarly problematic issue. The successful reduction of recidivism rate is usually considered as evidence of effective criminal justice policy. Alongside this, property crime represents a significant proportion of total crime. Moreover, property crime is characterised by a higher recidivism rate than other types of crime. In practice, there are often visible signs of a possible link between these phenomena. A closer examination of the issue of property crime recidivism in relation to drug use raises many questions. Is there a relationship between these phenomena? And if so, is this relationship reflected enough in the interventions used to reduce recidivism? This thesis therefore analyses each of the sub-issues (drug use, property crime, criminal recidivism) in order to identify the possible relationship between property crime recidivism and drug use. It...
