European dependence on oil and its consequences
Koderová, Markéta ; Bič, Josef (advisor) ; Machytka, Daniel (referee)
Energy plays a fundamental role in economic activities. It influences our everyday life and concerns everyone of us. Exactly due to these reasons it is necessary to be concerned with the energetic situation of our region and with the state of dependency related to using oil as an energetic source in Europe. This is the crucial topic and major objective of the research of this work. At the same time the attention is paid to outlining possible recommendations for the European countries considering territorial diversification and reserching the spectrum of potential alternatives to oil.

European Union energy dependency in the context of its trade policy
Reginevich, Yuliya ; Hnát, Pavel (advisor) ; Bič, Josef (referee)
The thesis is about energy dependency of the European Union. Aim of the work is to analyze the situation of the energy relations of European Union and regions, which are the main energy suppliers from the trade policy point of view. Thesis is aimed at characterizing trade instruments used in trade with natural resources. EU - North Africa relations are studied in more detailed way as a concrete example of energy relations.

The outlook on natural gas sources diversification in the European Union
Kosková, Iva ; Vondrušková, Barbora (advisor) ; Němcová, Ingeborg (referee)
Natural gas occupies an indispensable place in the European Union energy mix. Nevertheless it is important to optimize energy dependence of the EU on the Russian Federation, which is the key supplier of this commodity for the European market. One of the main ways how to decrease this dependence and consequently increase energy safety of the EU is the natural gas sources diversification and diversification of its transport routes. The diversification effort includes not only the building of new gas pipelines but also a growing importance of the liquefied natural gas (LNG), which currently brings brand new principles to the natural gas market. Even though it is obvious that the map of the European natural gas infrastructure is going to change in the future, it is necessary to bear in mind that the interdependence between Russia and the EU is going to maintain a significant influence on the energy policy of both parties.

EU-Russia: mutual energy relations
Bezrodná, Ksenija ; Vošta, Milan (advisor) ; Kašpar, Václav (referee)
Depleting fossil fuel reserves in EU and energy consumption growth lead to the fact that the European Union is becoming increasingly dependent on energy imports. The most important energy partner of the EU is Russia which delivers the biggest volumes of oil and natural gas to european countries. High rate of energy dependency on Russia is - especially in the context of gas crisis - perceived as a threat to EU energy security and it is necessary to deal with it immediately. The aims of the European Union policy on energy are to achieve higher territorial diversification of fossil fuel suppliers and transit countries and diversification of the EU energy mix, to promote renewable forms of energy and to establish common energy market to ensure solidarity among EU member states. European Union also should learn how to act as "one actor" and "one voice" on energy relations with Russia because that could help to ensure better negotiation position and to become a sovereign partner in mutual energy relations with Russia.

The dependence of Chinese and Indian economy on mineral and energy imports
Bayerová, Zuzana ; Kašpar, Václav (advisor) ; Vošta, Milan (referee)
The aim of the diploma thesis is to analyze People's Republic of China and India from the point of view of their mineral and energy dependence, where mineral means the necessity to import raw materials for the industry, while energy corresponds to imports of energy resources, namely coal, oil and natural gas. The secondary aim is so called 3C-Analysis (Comparison, Competition, Cooperation), which compares these two economies and evaluates their mutual relationships. The thesis is divided into three main parts - China, India, 3C-Analysis. The subchapters focuse on partial analysis, which are the definition of strategic minerals based on the key industrial branches, the determination of causes of mineral resources dependence and problems outcoming from current structure of energy imports, as well as the analysis and evaluation of the steps leading to the dependence elimination. The text also contains information about the situation in industrial and energy sector of both countries and basic data of raw materials production, reserves, consumption and imports.

The system of electronic personal dosimetry
PETROVÁ, Irena
The thesis deals with the issue of operative dosimetry, to be specific, with personal dosimetry. The objective of the thesis is to compare several parameters, such as the dose, direction and energy dependence, in two types of electronic dosimeters made by the firm Siemens (type EPD1) and by the firm MGP Instruments (type DMC 2000XB). In the first section of my thesis the personal monitoring and related data such as quantities used to monitor external irradiation are introduced. In the next section the operative monitoring, focused mainly on electronic but also on thermoluminescent and radiophotoluminescent dosimetry, is described. The results of the irradiation (exposure) of electronic personal dosimeters of types EPD1 and DMC 2000XB are included in the thesis and the measured values are statistically processed. The dose, direction and energy dependence of both types of these dosimeters is evaluated and put into diagrams.

Energetics in the EU: Present Trends
Procházková, Lenka ; Vošta, Milan (advisor) ; Kašpar, Václav (referee)
The first chapter of the diploma thesis describes Energy policy of the European Union, especially its development, present state and its goals. This chapter also contains information about development of the single energy market. The second part of the thesis analyses oil and natural gas import dependence of the whole European Union and its Member States as well. It shows its rate and also the structure of suppliers, moreover, it describes total production, consumption and reserves of these fosil fuels. The third chapter outlines the ways how to reduce the import dependence. The last part familiarises readers with the main initiatives of the European Union in the field of environmental protection.

Business relations between European Union and Russian Federation
Polata, Tomáš ; Petříček, Václav (advisor) ; Čajka, Radek (referee)
This bachelor thesis is devided into three parts. First part concernes about business relations between European Union as a whole and Russian Federation. It concernes about historical development of their relations, their relations in present, that result from this development, mutual investments and conflicts between them, first of all about these, that are connected with trade barriers and supplies of raw materials from Russia to European Union. Second part of the thesis is focused on business relations between choosen members of European Union and Russia. These choosen members are Germany, Italy and Poland. Third part describes business relations between Czech Republic and Russian Federation, concretely their development, mutual investmenst and problems they have to face. At the end of the thesis there is a brief view of future of business relation between these two units.
