Epidemics are hardly a new or unprecedented phenomenon, and the increased incidence of seasonal influenza strains and other viral respiratory infections are a recurring theme every year. However, the issue of state responsibility for international spread of infectious diseases came to the forefront lately due to the events at the beginning of 2020 when a global pandemic of the new coronavirus COVID- 19 appeared, causing over seven million deaths by October 2023 and significant economic losses. The virus was first identified in China, which reported the outbreak to the World Health Organization (WHO) at the end of 2019.

Rozlíšenie krízových a inovačných opatrení vyvolaných pandémiou covid-19 v spoločnosti zo stavebného priemyslu
Balogová, Patrícia
The subject of the present thesis is the development of a company in the construction industry, PORR a. s. during the COVID-19 pandemic. The main objective is to distinguish the crisis and innovation measures introduced in the company during the COVID-19 pandemic. Part of the thesis is to examine the digital technologies intro-duced in PORR a. s. as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic situation. The first part of the thesis focuses on the development of the Czech Republic and the construction industry in the period before and during the pandemic. Based on the available literature, we define the measures implemented by the state and construction companies during the pandemic period in order to minimize the risk and ensure the continuity of projects. We also zoom in on the crisis management needs and opportunities that the COVID-19 pandemic brought to construction companies at this time. In the second part, PORR Inc. together with the identification of the measures put in place during the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on the analysis of the financial indicators provided by the company and supplemented by openended interviews with the company's management, chief economist and the company's employees in each department, in relation to the measures introduced during the pandemic, the impact of the various anti-pandemic measures introduced on the company's performance has been identified. The construction industry has gradually embraced digital technologies over the last two decades as the 'technology push' continues to overcome the usual passivity typical of the industry. PORR a. s. has applied several digital pro-measures during the pandemic period, such as digital signature, SAPP economic system, implementation of stbuildings in the online space, use of BIM and 3D technology on construction sites. The company's main objective during the pandemic was to minimize the impact on the business during the pandemic, such as increased material costs, extended construction completion dates and efforts to make work easier for employees. By reacting quickly to the pandemic situation, implementing anti-pandemic and work support measures for employees, the company was able to overcome the downturn associated with the pandemic in 2020 with a profit in the following year. The final contribution of the thesis is a summary definition and differentiation of the measures introduced at the time of the pandemic by PORR a. s., into measures belonging to the group of crisis measures and innovative measures that can be taken by the construction company at the time of other, similar social situations, threatening the operation of the company.

The evolution of SARS-CoV-2 virus during the pandemic of COVID-19
Karban, Šimon ; Tachezy, Ruth (advisor) ; Pačes, Jan (referee)
Coronaviruses are animal and human viruses which, in the case of humans, cause respiratory diseases. The genome of coronaviruses is non-segmented and encodes several structural and several non-structural proteins. As their genome consists of single-stranded RNA in a positive sense, they encode RNA-dependent RNA polymerase. The origin of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is uncertain and may never be known. However, this thesis covers up-to-date knowledge and the arguments for the main theories on the emergence of this virus. The pandemic of disease COVID-19 caused by the SARS-CoV-2 had an enormous impact on the health and lives of people worldwide. The length and severity of the pandemic were caused by the characteristic of the virus, transmissibility and asymptomatic type of infection with severe symptoms in elderly and chronically ill individuals and the fast evolution of the virus after its appearance in humans. This thesis will describe important characteristics of the most important variants of the virus and changes which gave them a selection advantage. In the end, trends in the evolution of SARS-CoV-2 will be discussed. Keywords: SARS-CoV-2, Coronaviridae, variants, phylogeny, origin, evolution
