Distribution of quince (Cydonia oblonga Mill.) and common medlar (Mespilus germanica L.) in the Czech Republic: the first approach
VEJBOROVÁ, Tereza
Quince (Cydonia oblonga Mill.) and medlar (Mespilus germanica L.) are not indigenous species in the Czech Republic. However, both taxa are cultivated there for a long time. Quince probably originates from Iraq, Caucasus, Asia Minor and partly from Arabian Peninsula. Medlar is probably native in south-east Europe and Armenia, probably from other parts of Caucasus and north Iraq, too. Both species have uncommon fruit. The aim of the Bachelor Thesis was to create a list of localities of quince and medlar which have been known in the Czech Republic so far. It was based on written documents and herbarium specimens from several public herbaria. I found 145 and 106 localities for quince and medlar, respectivelly. In addition, 8 new findings for quince and 3 for medlar are reported. They are all based on field work including data stated by other persons.

Catalogue of aquatic hemipterans of family Pleidae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Nepomorpha): biology, list of species, distribution, key.
ŠVEHLA, Jiří
Aquatic hemipterans of the family Pleidae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Nepomorpha) represent a not very well explored group of water insect. Pleidae (Pygmy backswimmers) are tiny (1 ? 3 mm) hemipterans living mostly on the submerged vegetation of lentic water systems. The family is cosmopolitan, but the only species we can find in the Czech Republic is Plea minutissima, which is the most researched one(together with Neoplea striola). This family consists of 33 valid species divided into four generas ? Plea Leach, 1817, Neoplea Esaki a China, 1928, Paraplea Esaki a China, 1928 and Heteroplea Cook, 2011 according to the recent status of knowledge. This thesis is the very first attempt to create a complete catalogue of species in this family. It deals with a list of species, species distribution and key to the genera and species of Pleidae. The list of literature represents bibliography of family.

Turkey's accession to the European Union
Koláčková, Ivana ; Němcová, Ingeborg (advisor) ; Bartušková, Hana (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to evaluate Turkey's readiness to join the European Union on the basis of the Copenhagen political and economic criteria. For this purpose, the thesis is divided into two main parts - political and cultural aspects and economic criteria. The influence of neuralgic points i.e. Kurdish minority and Cyprus issue will be also considered.

Transformation of butterfly fauna on a middle scale: Situation in the South Bohemian Region.
ZAPLETAL, Michal
This thesis summarises historical and recent information on the distribution of butterflies in South Bohemian region, based on 130 records from literature, collections and recording reports, amassed during Mapping of Czech Republic butterflies. Historical and present distributions of each of 130 butterfly species found in their region are displayed on distribution maps. Out of the 130 species, 42,1 % is already extinct, while 24,1 % is threatened to some extend. Comparison with the situation in entire Czech Republic reveals a higher rate of extinctions, which is probably a function of smaller total area. Compared with the Czech Republic total, xerophilous species suffered higher losses in South Bohemia, whereas species of mesic habitats are relatively less endangered and for peat bogs specialists, the region represents a major refugium. Priorities for further research and active conservation measures are discussed.

Brand Extension
Nováková, Jana ; Koudelka, Jan (advisor) ; Štědroň, Bohumír (referee)
The goal of this Master`s Thesis is to clarify issues and significancy of association bridging between parent brand and its extension. By analysing secondary and primary data and by using free association method I researched five brands (Michelin, Cosmopolitan, Duracell, BIC and Aquila) and their interesting extension. Within the analysis is highlighted the dominance of associations, their internal meaning and connection of associations between the extension and the parent brand. In conclusion, in response to found bottlenecks of researched brands are some recommandations about the internal meaning of associations, hidden meaning of category, artificiality of associations, fake success of extension and minor meaning of a product category.

Taxonomy of selected groups of the genus \kur{Caloplaca}
ŠOUN, Jaroslav
The thesis deals with phylogeny, taxonomy and nomenclature of selected groups of the lichen genus Caloplaca. Particularly, the C. cerina group was closely investigated using molecular methods (ITS sequences), morphology and chemistry, based on material from Europe, and to some extent also from North America and western Asia. This approach resulted in the description of three new species (C. sterilis, C. subalpina, C. thracopontica), and detected an unexpected richness of lineages. Nomenclature, taxonomy, morphology and ecology of C. aurantia and C. flavescens from the C. aurantia group were studied in detail, including selection of the neotype of the former species. Their distribution was reviewed for the territory of the Czech Republic. Poorly known taxon C. aurantiomurorum from Algeria was lectotypified and synonymized with C. aurantia. Apart from the two groups, C. phlogina and C. scythica, differing partly in thallus colour and distinctly in distribution, were examined using both molecular (ITS sequences) and phenotypic data and found to be conspecific.

Enlargement of NATO to Post - Soviet Area (Georgia as a possible member)
Ovečka, Jan ; Dubský, Zbyněk (advisor) ; Sršeň, Radim (referee)
This thesis deals with possibility of future enlargement of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation to Georgia. The first part pursues readiness of Georgia to accede to NATO according to article 10 of The North Atlantic Treaty and The New Strategic Concept of NATO, economic and energy situation in Georgia and development of NATO -- Georgia relations. Other parts describe interests of great power, such as Russia, USA and EU, in region and examine their impact on possible access of Georgia to NATO.
