The applicability of the Hess-Brezowsky synoptic classification to the description of climate elements in Europe
Sýkorová, Petra ; Huth, Radan (advisor) ; Racko, Stanislav (referee)
This thesis deals with the applicability of the Hess-Brezowsky synoptic classification to the description of climate elements, minimal and maximal temperatures and precipitation, in Europe. The first part of the thesis is an overview of the knowledge concerning circulation classifications (with emphasis on the Hess-Brezowsky synoptic classification) and its applicability to the description of climatic elements. In the second part of this thesis, the suitability of the Hess-Brezowsky classification for this purpose in the European domain is analyzed, using the two-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. The test was performed on ECA&D data from 113 climatic stations for the years 1961 - 2000. The suitability of the classification for describing climatic elements at a given station was assessed according to the percentage of the synoptic types, during which the elements' probability distribution functions differed from the rest of the values. The classification was deemed most suitable for describing climatic elements in Germany and its neighboring states and least suitable in the Mediterranean and Eastern Europe. The classification was more suitable for the description of minimal and maximal temperatures than precipitation and less suitable for description of all climatic elements in the summer months than...

The Processing of Climatologic Records from Experimental Locations in Kyrgyzstan and the Synoptic-climatologic Interpretation Thereof
Sýkorová, Petra ; Huth, Radan (advisor) ; Pokorná, Lucie (referee)
The Charles University Faculty of Science KFGG team took part in an intensive research in the area of Kyrgyz glacial lakes. The collecting of records from three meteorological stations in the locations of Kolor (2,700 m above sea level) and Adygine (3,500 and 3,800 meters above sea level) was part of the research. The aim of this thesis was to analyze the homogeneity of climatic data measured in experimental locations using the SNHT method (Standard Normal Homogeneity Test), process the data using general climatological processes, create a classification of circulation types for the area of interest using Jenkinson's and Collinson's method, and finally, to quantify the relationships between individual circulation types and the values of chosen climatic elements. The analysis results are homogenized climatic sets for the Adygine H station (3,800 m above sea level) and a summary of basic statistics and trends of climatic elements in the area. Furthermore, a catalogue of circulation types was created for the period from August 2007 to July 2011, and finally, the relationships between individual circulation types and manifestations of climate elements (air temperature, precipitation and global radiation). The results of this thesis may be used to identify the types connected with bursts of glacial...

Protection of reproductive rights in the case law of European Court of Human Rights
Sýkorová, Petra ; Lipovský, Milan (advisor) ; Tymofeyeva, Alla (referee)
Protection of reproductive rights in the case law of European Court of Human Rights Abstract Irrespective of the fact that reproduction and sexuality are very intimate issue for each person, reproductive rights very often face restrictions, doubts, and attacks. This is also the case in Europe. Hence this paper deals with the topic of protection of reproductive rights in Europe, more specifically with the stance on the protection of these rights by the European Court of Human Rights. The aim of this paper is to explore the stance of ECHR on the protection of these rights. The author of the paper asks the research question: What is the position of ECHR regarding the protection of reproductive rights? At the same time, the paper points out to certain defects in the Czech legal regulation which could, arguably, lead to violation of the European Convention on Human Rights. The paper uses the method of critical analysis on the decisions of ECHR and evaluates the significance of these decisions. The paper uses the case law of ECHR as the primary source while drawing on subsidiary sources such as international organizations' documents or academic articles. Reproductive rights are examined through the human-rights approach with the emphasis on the women's rights in this area. This paper is divided into three parts....

Front-end unification of web portals
Marek, Libor ; Oškrdal, Václav (advisor) ; Sýkorová, Petra (referee)
This diploma thesis is dealing with the problem of creating or more preciously with the design of websites practically aiming on Allianz Insurance Company. In a theoretical part there is a brief history of the development of websites and there is also defined the model of successful websites and there is presented the methodology of their creation (with the description of tools and techniques that are usually used). Within mentioned methodology there is a description of the field of User Experience (UX) also with the aspects that are taken into consideration during creating a website. Practical part, which has the form of the case study, is based on defined model and procedure of creating a website. The crucial point of the practical part is a design of website arrangement in a way of wireframe and mockup models. At the end of given thesis, created designs are assessed according to determined hypothesis and to business aims and requirements of given company.

Zootherapy influence on children with mental disabilities
SÝKOROVÁ, Petra
This thesis focuses on the influence of animal-assisted therapy for children with mental disabilities. The theoretical part describes the different kinds of animal-assisted therapy, especially canistherapy which is of the most used with children with mental disabilities. Furthermore, the legal questions of practicing zootherapy and description of its origin is mentioned. The practical part describes methods by which research is conducted. The research work is focused on children with mental disabilities who attend day care centers, in which they participate in zootherapy. The interview was conducted with five families of these children and was focused on whether zootherapy treatment has a positive effect on children with mental disabilities and their families. The research was complemented by case studies.
