Using of climate satellite data for study of weather circulation type influence on selected meteorological parameters
Kotek, Jiří ; Žák, Michal (advisor) ; Šrámek, Jan (referee)
Cloudiness and solar radiation affect the Earth's energy and water cycle and spa- tial distribution of these parameters is also connected to the atmospheric pressure field and atmospheric circulation. This thesis starts with a short overview of remote sensing of the atmosphere, the EUMETSAT organisation and its section CM SAF which focuses on the uses of satellite data for climate monitoring. Next is a description of cloud and ra- diation products used in this thesis. Daily means of these products in the Czech Republic are then used to calculate mean values, trends and anomalies for the whole time series. Obtained values are compared based on the weather circulation type using the Brádka classification. 1

Physiotherapy of patients with Multiple Sclerosis - questionnaire survey
Kotek, Jiří ; Řasová, Kamila (advisor) ; Řeháčková, Hana (referee)
This thesis is focused on physical rehabilitation in Multiple Sclerosis. The theoretical part deals with information about this disease, and then is devoted to the issues related to the questionnaire, that is, rehabilitation and classification of patients. The practical part presents results of the survey, which objective was to determine whether there are differences in rehabilitation in various European countries and what is the character of these differences. For our purposes the most important questions were about the understanding to the rehabilitation methods, and also about aplicated methods in practise in different countries. The questionnaire was sent to the fifty experts from European countries, united under the banner of the RIMS SIG on mobility, as well as some employees of KRL FNKV. Twenty six of them answered and sent the questionnaire back. Responses were statistically analysed and processed in program called Statistica version 7.1. The survey results shows that there are big differences in organization of physical therapy among the European countries. For example there is obvious difference in setting up rehabilitation program for the same patient in various countries, that means that the physical therapy will always look differently. The questionnaire survey is only a pilot...

Transport infrastructure charging a draft of the measures to optimize its utilization
KOTEK, Jiří
The current status of road transportation charging in the Czech Republic has been analyzed in terms of costs, which are caused by various categories of vehicles and incomes, which are generated by existing instruments of charging. Significant imbalance of theese indicators for different types of vehicles has been revealed. The measures proposed in thesis aim to eliminate this imbalance and to provide fair charging system that is based on actual costs caused by vehicle.

The Analysis of land-use changes in Šumava foothills
KOTEK, Jiří
The Svatý Tomáš Highlands and the Trojmezí Highlands in the Šumava foothills were constantly settled during 13th century. Although this area is a borderland with a less favourable climate, agriculture had a significant influence on the landscape changes. However political and economic changes during the 1950´s, especially the establishment of the Iron Curtain, had impacted previous trends. Displacement of inhabitans, destruction of villages and inaccessibility of the area have restored the natural processes. The aim of this work is to describe changes of land use in The Šumava foothills with regard to nature protection and results evaluated by geographic information system technologies. From stable cadastre maps it was detected, that land use in 1st half of 19th century in the Šumava foothills was very varied, it was there existed a lot of small fields of arable soil. However the surface of arable soil diminished gradually during the time and at the present time don´t exist any more in the study area. In monitored areas in the first place grew the share of forests. The changes of management also had an impact on the size of succession areas. It was found, that changes in land use are very similar in the all monitored regions.

The Historic Landscape Elements Analysis
KOTEK, Jiří
The two most important reasons of partial depopulation of the right shore of the Lipno dam were the transfer of Germans after the World War II and the Iron Curtain establishment in 1950s. Inhabitants were turn out from borderland, local villages were largely destroyed, meadows and pastures have been wasted for decades and they are under secondary succession. Although a lot of villages were destroyed, we can identify it by plants whose occurrence is closely associated with existence of resident enclaves (fruit tree species, nonforest green vegetation, woody ornamentals). The aim of this work is to describe these plants species, locate their position and judge changes in the time.

Wheat B-starch based polymeric materials
Kotek, Jiří ; Kruliš, Zdeněk ; Šárka, E.
The contribution is aimed at preparation of a thermoplastic material derived from the wheat B-starch. Two ways have been followed, namely blending of the starch with poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) and plasticizing of the starch. In both cases, properties of the materials based on the B-starch are comparable to analogous materials based on the A-starch. The prepared materials have potential application as biodegradable films for agriculture.

Fuel prices and their impact on road transport
KOTEK, Jiří
Development of road transportation in Czech republic was compared with driving fuels prices development by the simple statistic examination. In was discovered, that volume of transported goods is developing indenpendently on prices of petrol and diesel in each year during last ten years. This fact is explained by business enviroment of goods transportation. Companies are obligate to deliver the goods by contract apart of the price of fuels. Outputs of goods and personál transportation rising along with prices of fuels, which is caused by growth of economy in Czech republic leading do larger amount of possible contracts and oportunities. Statistic analysis therefor confirms the hypothesis stated above. Prices of driving fuels have no influence in growth neither the structure of vehikle park in Czech republic. The amount of vehicles rises steadily last ten years indenpendently on fuel prices development. Economy crysis only slows the rise down.
