Migration crisis 2015. The comparison of the approach of selected EU member states - the Czech Republic, Poland and Germany
Kondělková, Jana ; Jeřábek, Martin (advisor) ; Kučerová, Irah (referee)
The thesis compares the approach of selected Member States: the Czech Republic, Poland and Germany to the 2015 migration crisis. The theoretical framework of the thesis is based on Andrew Moravcsik's liberal intergovernmental approach. Moravcsik assumes that European integration consists of three phases: national preference formation, bargaining of substantive agreements, and the creation or adjustment of institutions to commit to and secure concluded outcomes. The first part of the empirical research focuses on the analysis of the national preference formation during the migration crisis in the selected member states. This part examines the influence of domestic political actors on the resulting domestic preferences. Once the domestic preferences in the Czech Republic, Poland, and Germany are defined, this thesis scrutinezes the intergovernmental bargaining of the selected Member States at the EU Council. In particular, I pay close attention attention to the intergovernmental negotiations of the Ministers of Interior and Foreign Affairs at the EU Council during 2015. By analysing the negotiations of government representatives in the EU Council, it is possible to observe whether individual states acted in accordance with domestic preferences. This is because the theory of liberal...

Small states and foreign policy challanges: foreign policy of the Baltic states towards Russia
Bílý, Tomáš ; Karlas, Jan (advisor) ; Jeřábek, Martin (referee)
Small States and Foreign Policy Challenges: Foreign Policy of Lithuania and Estonia towards Russia Abstract This diploma thesis deals with the use of foreign policy strategies of small states by Lithuania and Estonia in the context of foreign policy towards Russia. In this regard, the work is focused on the analysis of foreign political disputes with Russia, which represented key challenges for these Baltic states with regard to sovereignty and territorial integrity following the collapse of the Soviet Union, specifically then on cases of the withdrawal of Russian military units, the delimitation of the Estonian-Russian state borders and the regulation of Russian transit to the Kaliningrad region. From a methodological point of view, the work is conceived as a case study aimed at developing knowledge about the phenomenon of foreign policy strategies of small states. Its first part is devoted to the presentation of the theoretical concepts of the small state and the foreign policy strategies of small states. The second part of the work is focused on the assessment of the use of the mentioned strategies by Lithuania and Estonia within the examined cases with the aim of ascertaining which of the foreign policy strategies of small states Lithuania and Estonia tried to apply in the context of the analyzed cases...

Electrical characteristics of gliding discharge for VOC decomposition
Jeřábek, Martin ; Sysel, Petr (referee) ; Bartlová, Milada (advisor)
The subject of this bachelor's thesis was to get familiar with the characteristics of plasma, its divisinon and diagnostics. In physics and chemismy plasma is considered to be, an ionized gas composed of ions, electrons (and possibly neutral atoms and molecules), which is produced by detachement of electrons from the atomic shell, or by dissociation and ionization of molecules. The plasma is often referred as the fourth state of matter. Attention was given to the description of various types of electric discharge, its characteristics and occurrence. One of the most idey known electrical discharges occurring in nature is lightning, a spark discharge, which occurs in the storm. Lightning is an electric discharge between centres of positive and negative charge of one or more clouds, between cloud and earth, or rarely between the cloud and the stratosphere. The greatest attention is paid mainly to gliding electric arc discharge, called Glide-Arc; it is a representative of on-thermal plasma formed by weakly ionized gas. It has many industrial applications, especially for its high energy efficiency, specific productivity and high selectivity of chemical reactions. Under low and atmospheric pressure, Glide-Arc represents a simple and non-expensive way of non-thermal plasma generation. The discharge is excited between two electrodes of different materials in the pressure range from very low pressures up to the pressures of the order of units of MPa. The gliding arc system consist of horn-gaps electrodes diverging in the direction of the working gas flow. After the application of DC or AC voltage, a breakdown occurs at the smallest distance between the electrodes, and a spark plasma channel drifts (“glides“) in the direction of the flowing gas. The final experimental part deals with the measurement of VA characteristics and oscillation characteristics of the current, and with the determinativ of gliding arc ignitron for selected of nitrogen and methane gases at various flow rates. The values of ignition voltage for variol mixtures of gases have been compared. Furthermore, the properties various combinations of gases at different gas flow rates have been evaluated. Measurements were carried out in the plasma laboratory of the Faculty of Chemistry BUT in the plasma reactor at the atmospheric pressure.

Data acquisition - LabVIEW
Jeřábek, Martin ; Zůbek, Tomáš (referee) ; Šedivá, Soňa (advisor)
The main objective of this work is to create a program for automatic operation of measuring test track. The track is used for multi-hole velocity probes calibration. Normalized orifice plate is used as measurement standard. The program requires the user to enter certain information, which are not measured directly e.g. the values of measuring resistors, static air pressure. After entering this information, measurement can be started. The measurements are carried out simultaneously on the both flowmeters and on the thermomether Pt 100. The actual density of flowing medium is calculated from the measured temperature. Because the measurement is parallel, the calibrated flowmeter can be calibrated during the measurement.

Business Incubator
Jeřábek, Martin ; Pirochta, Josef (referee) ; Králová, Zuzana (advisor)
In my diploma thesis I designed a new office building in Brno. The building will function as a business incubator, so it will provide space for developing companies for favorable lease terms. While projecting the building I took into consideration future changes in dispositions. Part of the building has a basement and it has one underground and four aboveground floors. The building is designed as monolithic ferroconcrete unit and it has reinforcing perimeter walls with unit core. The ceiling is made of monolithic ferroconcrete panels. The building has flat rooftops, ventilated facade and is based on piles.

The impact of crises on differentiation and integration in the EU: COVID-19 and Ukraine
Běhunčík, Radek ; Martinková, Viera (advisor) ; Jeřábek, Martin (referee)
The European Union has had to deal with an increasing number of crises over the past 15 years. The future of its integration is thus increasingly dependent on concrete crisis responses. At the same time, the increasing heterogeneity of its members makes it more difficult to find compromise solutions, and integration often takes a differentiated path. This paper has attempted to answer the question of what is the impact of crises on the integration and differentiation of the European Union. It did so through an explanatory two-case study of the most recent emergencies - the COVID-19 crisis and the high energy price crisis linked to the war in Ukraine. To find the answer, a congruence analysis of the Union's crisis responses was conducted based on the models of Riddervold et al. The supply and demand theory of differentiation then explained the absence or presence of differentiation. The central data source was the European secondary legislation, frequently neglected by integration theorists. The analysis results find the crises' effects to be pro-integration in the given cases, here primarily in a uniform pattern. However, in the case of COVID-19, the thesis reveals shortcomings of the crisis response models used, pointing to the need for their conceptual reformulation. For a more comprehensive understanding...

Changes in Taiwan-Czech Relations
Chen, Wen-Yu ; Parízek, Michal (advisor) ; Jeřábek, Martin (referee)
This thesis aims to shed light on how the evolving Czech-Taiwanese relationship has been reflected in Taiwan. The research encompasses a diverse range of data sources, including governmental foreign affairs annual reports, government-funded scholarships, trade and investment flows, media coverage from selected Taiwanese news outlets, and individual movements between the Czech Republic and Taiwan. With qualitative content analysis and descriptive analysis, the study endeavors to provide conclusive answers to the research question. Given the consideration of the unavailability of research on recent developments in Czech Republic- Taiwan relations, as well as the bilateral relationship itself, this study is poised to identify and evaluate any significant changes in their ties. The research will focus on examining how these changes in bilateral relations have been manifested and perceived in Taiwan. The temporal scope of the thesis spans from 2013 to 2023, encompassing a decade of crucial developments in the Czech-Taiwanese relationship.
