Ecotoxicological evaluation of selected psychotropic drugs
Hricová, Nikoleta ; Řezáčová, Veronika (referee) ; Zlámalová Gargošová, Helena (advisor)
This bachelor thesis done by literary research is about the issue of the occurence of psychopharmacs in the enviroment. Psychopharmacs such as antidepressants, anxiolytics, hypnotics, sedatives etc. belong to one of the most sold drugs around the world. The consumption of psychopharmacs is concerning and growing. Therofore their occurence in nature is also growing, which can negatively affect the ecosystems. Many studies confirmed the persistency of psychopharmacs in nature, their following bioaccumulation and ecotoxicity for the representatives of each ecosystem. This bachelor thesis describes possible ways of the drug’s intersection (penetration) in nature, the metabolism of psychopharmacs in the human body and the effectivity of their elimination in sewage tanks. This work also focuses on the occurence, stability, degradability and persistency of psychopharmacs in aquatic and in terrestrial enviroment. The consideration of risks in the occurence of psychopharmacs for the representatives of each ecosystems was processed by many ecotoxicological studies, which point out the danger of these substances. Based on this acquired knowledge, in the conclusion of this work, there was drafted a battery of ecotoxicological tests for the estimated effects of psychopharmacs.

Ecotoxicological evaluation of selected plastics
Demová, Kristína ; Mravcová, Ludmila (referee) ; Zlámalová Gargošová, Helena (advisor)
The presented bachelor thesis deals with the issue of plastics in the environment and their ecotoxicological evaluation. This topic is currently being brought to the fore due to the development of new, more easily degradable plastics. This is intended to be a solution to the current environmental problem. That is why the aim of this work was to verify the assumption of ecological safety of such plastics. The experimental part focuses on one selected biodegradable plastic - polyhydroxybutyrate, which was evaluated using acute and chronic toxicity tests. The tests were performed in an aquatic arrangement to predict the effect on the aquatic ecosystem. Two organisms were chosen from its representatives, the crustacean Daphnia magna and the plant Lemna minor. The chronic test on the organism Daphnia magna shows the greatest results, which indicates the negative effects of the selected plastic on the tested organism.

City within the City / "Trnitá City Block"
Solár, Michal ; Hybská, Bohumila (referee) ; Nový, Vítězslav (advisor)
The area of today's southern center of Brno was determined from the very beginning by the location of the rivers Svratka, Svitava and their drives, which defined the southern part of the city as a fertile area suitable for cultivation. After the advent of industrialism, the city transformed rapidly. The southern area was transformed from smaller villages into industrial units, which, due to the proximity of water and the newly established railway, expanded after 1838 to the entire vicinity of the Trnitá district. Already in this period, the location of the station by the Svratka River (in the proposed position from 2016) began to be considered, but due to the waterlogged soil and difficult construction conditions, it was decided for the station under the walls. It was this decision and the unsatisfactory conditions of waterlogged land for the development of the industrial area closer to the Svratka River that caused the suspension of the development of the southern suburbs. The proposal seeks to reflect the context of Brno's apartment buildings in the vicinity of the area, which lacks a comprehensive context and scale. At the same time, however, to solve the environmental problem by proper management of rainwater or the use and design of a recycled perimeter cladding of material obtained after the demolition of other buildings. The building is structurally designed as a combination of a wall system with monolithic, communication cores and the first floor.

Nové trendy environmentálnej výchovy
Slivová, Simona
The bachelor thesis focuses on environmental education of students. The literary review serves to clarify the basic terms of the environment, sustainable development and environmental education. The goal of the thesis was to determine the level of environmental education in high schools as well as knowledge of basic concepts concerning the environment and sustainable development of high school students and also the general public. In order to achieve the goal of this thesis, a questionnaire was created aimed at high school students from a selected region and another questionnaire aimed at the general public. After completion of the research, both kinds of questionnaires were evaluated. Based on the results, it is possible to assess the level of environmental education in high schools and the level of knowledge on the topics of the environment and sustainable development among students and inhabitants of the Slovak Republic. As part of the work an Erasmus + project was created, specifically a Youth Exchange, which aims to ensure a high level of knowledge of the above-mentioned terms.

Environmental policy of the European Union and its impact on the environmental policy of the Slovak Republic
Kozáková, Tamara ; Karlas, Jan (advisor) ; Knutelská, Viera (referee)
This diploma thesis entitled "Environmental policy of the European Union and its impact on the environmental policy of the Slovak Republic" targets the environmental policy of these two entities, focusing on a specific area, namely waste management. Despite the fact that environmental policy did not belong to the original agenda of the European Union during its creation, today, due to the gradual development characterized in the first part of the work, the EU is a prominent player in this field. In other parts of the work we describe how Slovakia has gradually undergone a progressive change, ie Europeanization, through its involvement in EU policies. Based on the membership of the Slovak Republic in the European Union since 2004, the Slovak Republic has obligations and commitments, which shows the significant influence of the European Union, and thus the existing environmental policies of the Member States are no longer politically or legally separated from EU environmental policy. In addition to the goal of providing a comprehensive overview of the development of environmental policy of the both European Union and the Slovak Republic since its formation, the main goal is to analyze the implementation of waste management in the form of Framework Directive 2008/98 / EC on waste. This goal is based...

Quo Vadis, Slovakia? Context scenarios about the Environment of the Slovak Republic
Semberová, Anna ; Havranek, Miroslav (advisor) ; Nováček, Pavel (referee)
The main objective of the thesis is an analysis of possible future scenarios. This research is systematically focused on the analysis of the future possible trends in the context of the Slovak Republic's environment. The basis of the analysis is to identify the key external drivers and according to them to create the final scenarios of the future. The main approach to the scenario building in this thesis is the method of Cross-Impact Balance. Scenarios were created by semi-structured interviews with experts and by using the combinatorial analysis of consistency in terms of cross-impact of individual variants of the driving forces. The result of this thesis is five scenarios, referring to the future context of the environment of the Slovak Republic, depending on the development of a combination of different variants of external factors. For this scenarios there has been prepared the analysis of risks and opportunities in the perspective of the Environment of the Slovak Republic. Identified scenarios can be briefly described through the impact from least to the most positive. The first scenario shows the threat of an environmental collapse. The second scenario describes a power struggle over the resources and the consequences of excessive use of raw materials. The middle scenario describes the risk...
