Pospíšilová, Barbora ; Teplý, Pavel (advisor) ; Teplá, Milada (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the public view on chemistry. It has two parts: theoretical and practical. In the first chapter of the theoretical part I briefly describe the development of chemistry in six epoches from the oldest one to the modern period. The second chapter is devoted to the roles of chemistry in today's society. The third chapter is focused on the public view of chemistry or chemical products. In this chapter I am discussing the public's fear of chemistry, position of chemistry as a school subject, attempts to reduce the chemistry position in some industrial fields (replacing standard food with organic food and classical plastics with bioplastics) or who influences the opinions on chemistry. In the fourth chapter of theoretical part I deal with the attitudes and their evaluation. The practical part is based on a questionnaire survey realized using an electronic questionnaire. The basic information about the respondents and more detailed analysis of some of the respondents answears are presented in the evaluation of this questionnaire. There is also the analysis of the correlation between the individual answers. Key words: chemistry, opinion, attitude, chemophobia, questionnaire, chemical industry, organic food

History of Kaznějov before 1918
Kodetová, Klára ; Charvátová, Kateřina (advisor) ; Foltýn, Dušan (referee)
Resume The presented bachelor thesis portrays the historical development of the village Kaznějov. It deals with its portrayal in the available historical charters and documents. The focus is laid especially on the oldest history of the settlement, when it functioned as a grange of the Cistercian monks from the nearby Plasy monastery, and on its further development throughout the Middle Ages and Early Modern Period. Although the paper strives to rely mostly on available historical documents, it at the same time also strives to portray the village on the background of important contemporary events, such as the Hussite Wars and the Thirty Years' War. In the younger periods, the thesis focuses on the portrayal of the village based on the materials from different land cadastres - the Cadastre of the empress Maria Theresa, the emperor Joseph II.'s Cadastre and the Stable Cadastre. Finally, the paper describes the changes that the village sustained as a result of the mining and chemical industries' development in the area during the 19th century. These changes significantly shaped the village's further growth and also its physical appearance as opposed to the former periods.

This diploma thesis is focused on a little-known and therefore interesting topic. The work concernes the evaluation of the effectivity of Responsible Care Programme -- Odpovědné podnikání v chemii under conditions of the Czech Republic. Of great importance is the part of the work summarizing the motivation to implement RC programme, the barriers to implement RC programme as well as the evaluation of its benefits. The case study based on the Lovochemie INC Lovosice served well to evaluate the effectivity of RC programme and the application of the supporting RC activities . The enterprize has been respecting the rules of responsible bussiness practice since 1996. Discussion concerning the results achieved in the Czech Republic and Europe is also intersting. The danger for RC programme are similar voluntary instruments of environmental protection (e.g. ISO 14001 and EMAS), which, on the other hand, may act to support the results achieved within the basic indicators of healt, safety and environmental protection.

Chemical Industry in the Czech Republic
Gmitrová, Zuzana ; Damborský, Milan (advisor) ; Tomešová, Jana (referee)
The thesis deals with the analysis of spatial distinction of the chemical industry in the Czech Republic. The main aim of the thesis is to evaluate the disposition of chemical production in the Czech Republic and using the tools of spatial analysis, mainly location quotients and the Lorenz curve, to identify areas with the highest concentration of the chemical production. Further to identify areas with the greatest potential for the localization and development of the chemical production. The theoretical part of the thesis describes the economic aspects of the localization of the industry and defines the chemical industry itself in a broader context. The practical part deals with the position of the chemical industry in the Czech Republic and focuses on the territory analysis which identifies the regions with the highest concentration of the chemical industry in the Czech Republic
