Post-crisis Re-regulation of Financial Markets
Filipec, Petr ; Kudrna, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Vacek, Pavel (referee)
This paper analyzes the causes of financial crises, and on this basis it proposes possible changes in financial regulation. Throughout the paper we work with a hypothesis that the major roots of financial distress are excess credit growth and substantial capital inflows. We test this hypothesis on a dataset comprising entries from Australia, Japan, the UK, and US over the approximate period 1970-2010. The results confirm that there is a consistent relation of credit development to financial crisis incidences and a somewhat less consistent effect of capital inflows. Furthermore, since we find a robust positive effect of past credit growth on the probability of a crisis occurrence, we propose a change in interest rate policy. Our suggestion implies a consideration of credit to GDP ratio during the execution of the monetary policy decisions on interest rates.

Analysis of the factors influencing the geotechnical material parameters of MSW landfills
Sedláček, Václav ; Kudrna, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Slomek, Jiří (referee)
The material of Municipal Solid Waste landfills is a varied mix of materials with different properties. This material changing his properties according the procesing before or after the material is stored in landfill body. While the conditions in the landfill body are suitable, the bacteria start the development of biodegradation process. The process is affected by a number of factors. During the process, a large volume of lanfill gas is released from the landfill body and the landfill surface is declining. Material composition with processing methods during and after the transportation of waste to the landfill create geotechnical parameters of fresh material. As time goes by, this material loses biodegradable ingredients. The biodegradation process takes several years in the space of lanfill body. For the proper process of biodegratation, it's important to compliance next parameters: Sufficient organic matter content, sufficient material moisture and stable temperature with pH. Keywords: Municipal solid waste, geotechnical properties, grain, moisture content, shear strengh, strain, elasticity, deformation, compaction, biodegradation processes

Effect of added lime on consistency limits of silty clay
Sotorník, Viktor ; Boháč, Jan (advisor) ; Kudrna, Zdeněk (referee)
This work looks into the effect of added lime on consistency limits of silty clay. It was carried out under the support of GAUK 62008 grant. In this work changes of consistency limits of a loessy soil from the borrow pit Horky nad Jizerou with amount of added quicklime (CaO) and curing time were observed. From the development of consistency limits the lowest amount of quicklime needed for the establishment of long - term (pozzolanic) reactions in the soil was determined. Consistency limits were determined following standardized procedures in an accredited laboratory. Determination of the liquid limit was conducted using the 80 g/30ř fall cone. Firstly sample heating caused by the exothermic nature of the slaking reaction CaO + H2O → Ca(OH)2 + heat and rapid soil flocculation after the lime addition were observed. Furthermore increase of the plastic limit, unpredictable behavior of the liquid limit and therefore influenced behavior of the plasticity index in agreement with findings stated in the research part were observed. The results showed finishing of the modification reactions within 48 hours after the lime addition too. Findings stated by Rogers et al. (1997) about the value of the lowest amount of quicklime determined by the consistency limits method being lower than the value determined by...

Analysis of the factors influencing the geotechnical material parameters of MSW landfills
Sedláček, Václav ; Kudrna, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Sedláček, Jaroslav (referee)
Geotechnical parameters of material of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) landfill are very variable. This work searches by science researches the influences for these parameters. The identification of parameters is obviously difficult and needs special devices capable to measurement of big volume of material. Influence for geotechnical parameters have composing of MWS, climatic conditions, of the MSW landfill is cover or not, if has landfill isolation on base and on top or not or if is landfill drained. Important factor is existence of biodegradation processions on landfill. There are important the velocity of biological component and time.

Analysis of stability problems in the side slope of open pit mine ČSA
Hanuljak, Vít ; Kudrna, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Rybář, Jan (referee)
Our current society is very energetically intensive. The location of the Czech Republic, its natural conditions and mineral resources, offers one of the few options for its acquisition, which is mining and coal processing. The effort is to get this important raw material economically as convenient as possible and also with limited negative environmental consequences. One of these options is mining of brown coal in open pit mines. Side slope is an integral part of the open pit mines and this thesis deals with the side slope of one of the largest open pit mines in the Czech Republic, of The open pit mines of the CSA. It is the base of the Ore Mountains, geologically very difficult terrain in which it is necessary to carry out the individual extraction steps very carefully, to avoid disproportionate economic and environmental damage. The company Czech Coal Group, Litvínovská uhelná, a.s., which deals with coal mining in the quarry of the CSA, constantly monitors this area and coordinates the work. In spite of this fact, there are smaller or larger landslides in the side slope. The geological and hydro geological conditions of the area are analyzed in this diploma thesis. The consequences of natural and climatic conditions are listed in general and in specific cases. Knowledge of experts of the largest...
