Fejtová, Petra ; Zita, Lukáš (advisor) ; Masopustová, Renata (referee)
The thesis is focused on animal-assisted therapy and cats interacting with humans as the main part of the therapy. Felinotherapy as officially called is less known than other more popular animal-assisted therapies such as canistherapy and hippotherapy but already considered for a valuable part of animal-assisted therapy. The beginning of thesis is focused on animal- assisted therapy in general, its methods and animals which can be used for therapeutic purposes. The next part of thesis is about felinotherapy, its history, forms and methods and theoretical possibilities of its use as well as about a selection and training of suitable cats. The different breeds of cats are described for use in felinotherapy. Thesis goal is to show advantages of a cat as a suitable animal therapist and compare it with other animals. We could apply felinotherapy to clients of all ages and with different types of distabilities and diseases. The most commonly used form of felinotherapy is visiting program. The last part describes different ways to use felinotherapy in various target groups of clients and patients. For newcomers to the client´s home for the elderly cat helps relieve the stress of moving, to replace the lack of social ties, promote cognitive fiction and may be a subject of conversation with other clients or participiants of felinotherapy. In children, the cat may even become involved in teaching through play. In the end there are all indications, contraindications and risks associated with this therapy being deemed and disscused. Risk of disease transmission from cat to clients is minimized if the cat used for felinotherapy is regularly vaccinated, wormed and is under regular veterinary supervision.

Using the Technology of Narrow Rows as an Anti-Erosion Measure in Corn Cultivation
Nevěčný, Karel ; Tomášek, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Cihlář, Pavel (referee)
Soil is a basic, limited and non-renewable natural resource. It is the natural wealth of each country. Therefore, soil erosion is a major problem not only in the Czech Republic, but also on a global scale. As a result of the erosion process, the stability of soil aggregates is broken; there appears loss of organic matter and nutrient transport, or land within the property or outside. These factors cause irreversible damage to soils, which ultimately has both environmental and economic impacts. As the wide-rows crops areas increase, including corn there increases even the interest of professionals and the public in that problem. At the present, there are searched new technologies of corn cultivation, which should help in elimination of risks associated with that crop cultivation.
The aim of this thesis was to analyze selected soil conservation technologies in corn crops in the company ZD Krasna Hora nad Vltavou in terms of their impact on aquatic soil erosion and biomass production. There were analyzed the technologies of tillage disc harrows soil processing, sowing directly into freezing-out crops and as a control a fallow was established. We have also analyzed two inter-rows spacing of vegetation establishment, namely 37,5 cm and 75 cm.
The results of this work show an evident positive effect of no-tillage technology of corn cultivation, whether in the narrow or wide rows that are particularly effective at the beginning of the growing season, which is the most problematic for corn. As for the yield of biomass is concerned, the highest yield of biomass was achieved in variants with the width of 75 cm and in technology of sowing into freezing-out crops.
The work also includes a literature review, which covers erosion, erosion control measures, corn and tillage systems. Special attention is paid to so-called soil-protection technologies, which are used primarily in wide-rows crops such as corn.

Pešek, Václav ; Maitah, Mansoor (advisor) ; Anna, Anna (referee)
This thesis examines the factors that affect unemployment in the Usti region in selected groups. The document is divided into two main parts, the theoretical part and analytical part. The issue of unemployment is one of the most essential macroeconomic indicators of each country, therefore require closer observation and analysis.
The theoretical part (theoretical background) is theoretically and generally focused on unemployment as such. There is further characterized by the concept of unemployment and theoretically explain all aspects that bind to this issue (the types and causes of unemployment, consequences and impacts, the unemployment rate and the method of measurement, labor supply and demand, labor market and human capital).
The practical part of this work (analytical part) deals with the detailed analysis of certain factors that affect the overall unemployment rate in the Usti region in pre-selected populations. It is therefore a finding of dependency between certain factors and the overall unemployment rate in terms of both quantitative statistical survey data and qualitative theory, the author of this work.

Hygiene and care of the external genital in peditaric gynecology.
TUČKOVÁ, Martina
This Bachelor Dissertation's theme is the care and hygiene of a female child's outer genitals. It focuses on finding out the level of mothers' information on the subject. Different stages of girls' age and development are examined from a gynaecological point of view; anatomical differences are described in the theoretical part of the work. Hygienic care of the outer genital is closely associated with incidence of gynaecological illness during childhood, vulvovaginitis and development of synechiae, and further chapters are devoted to explanation of these terms. The role of a midwife, education and communication with the young female patient, her parents and especially with her mother arethe integral part of the practical work. Experimental section was carried out by a quantitative method via an anonymous non-standardised questionnaire aimed at mothers of girls aged from birth to 12 years. The questionnaires were handed out in Prague during February and March 2014 at two selected gynaecological ambulances, one medical centre for children and a maternity department of a university hospital. The main aim of this work was to find the level of knowledge mothers had about hygiene and care of a girl's outer genital. Two questions were asked. The first one sought to find out how mothers gain knowledge and information about the care for a girl's outer genital and second one aimed to find out how the genital care is carried out. From the analysis of these findings it was ascertained that from 94 respondents the largest group had university level education, 31-35 years old caring for one daughter aged 25 months to six years old. It was also found that a great majority of these mothers had generally correct information about hygienic care of girl's outer genital and it can be presumed they were well equipped to carry it out by methods recommended in the specialist literature. All mothers knew the correct way of cleaning a girl's bottom following defecation and majority used running water. Nevertheless, the area mothers are not so certain about is synechiae and its prevention. Although the question about care of a girl's outer genital up to 2 years of age was generally answered correctly, it was shown from further responses that 37 % did not know whether the hygienic care can affect development of synechiae. It also transpired that mothers not only gain the appropriate information from their children's practical doctors but also from internet. Should their daughters have any gynaecological problems, these mothers would seek help from a specialist child gynaecologist. It was also found that the appropriate instructions were given to mothers in the hospital by a midwife or child nurse. The midwife was only minimally involved in educating mothers about care and hygiene for their baby daughters. The number of mothers requesting further information about care and hygiene was practically equal to the number of respondents that have already stated that they are sufficiently informed already. From that follows that although most mothers are sufficiently well informed, there is a room for improvement by further widening of information about problems of synechiae. Although mothers are in majority sufficiently informed about the care of the outer genitals, there is, however, in specialist medical literature prevailing opinion that bacterial infection is the cause of vulvovaginitis. In conclusion are the recommendations for further use of this work. It is recommended as a source of information for midwifes, specialist and general nurses involved in education mothers of girls of all ages. It was also recommended to create a specialist leaflet that would highlight the important information mothers need to provide an appropriate care for a girl's outer genitalia.

Assesment of the Environmental Impact in the Design of Production Machines in Terms of Greenhouse Gas Emissions of Selected
Krbalová, Maria ; Pačaiová,, Hana (referee) ; Demeč, Peter (referee) ; Blecha, Petr (advisor)
The presented doctoral thesis is focused on environmental impact assessment of basic engineering materials used in a production machine construction. Ecological profile of the machine itself develops already in the phase of its design. It is not only about the choice of future machine parameters and materials that it is built from, but also about technologies used for its manufacture and operation conditions of the finished machine (consumption of energy and service fluids). The thesis occupies in detail with environmental impact analysis of the production machine design from the viewpoint of material production that mentioned machine consists of. The output from the performed analysis is methodology for evaluating of machine design from the viewpoint of greenhouse gas emissions. Created methodology enables evaluating of machine ecological profile and its possible adjustments even during pre-production stage. In the first part of the thesis the analysis of current legislation in the field of fighting against climate changes, reducing of products energy consumption and increasing of production machines energy efficiency is presented. Also in this part of the thesis description of methods that were used to achieve thesis goals is stated. Furthermore analysis of production machine as a system of structural components that fulfil the certain functions and description of used basic engineering materials are presented. The second part of the thesis is devoted to environmental impact analysis of the production machine design process. There the design process and environmental impact of machine design are described. This is followed by description of production machine life cycle and detailed analysis of undesirable substances emissions emitted during pre-production phases of machine life cycle (i.e. during the raw materials extraction and materials production). From this analysis the particular constituents’ pre-production phases which are sources of undesirable substances emissions (e.g. greenhouse gas emissions) were derived. The thesis also includes analysis of these constituents’ life cycles and description of electric power generation as a basic constituent of any phase of product life cycle. In this part of the thesis calculations of particular fuel type’s amounts that is required to produce 1 MWh of electric power and carbon dioxide amount produced during electric power generation are presented. The third part of the thesis contains created models of manufacturing processes of basic engineering materials and calculations of related emissions of selected greenhouse gases. The practical output from this part of the thesis is methodology that enables environmental impact assessment of machine design from the viewpoint of engineering materials used in its construction.

Construction Business Opportunities in Selected Central and Eastern European Countries
Vacek, Jiří ; Černohlávková, Eva (advisor) ; Přikrylová, Jana (referee) ; Horňák, Pavol (referee)
The Ph.D. thesis deals with the construction research methodology and performed research, and the analysis of business opportunities in the construction industry of the selected Central and Eastern European countries. The thesis is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on the description and specification of the main categories -- general market research methodology, the description and statistical methodology used by the Czech Statistical Office, and their comparison with our research methods (advantages, disadvantages, and benefits). This part also mentions specific features of construction industry which need to be taken into account when performing the research and evaluating the results for the purposes of the development of business opportunities in the construction industry. The second part of the thesis analyses the particular results of the construction industry research carried out in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, and Hungary in 2006--2012 (with more than 2,500 research interviews). It brings a comparison of the Eurostat/statistical offices published data vs. the analysed developments in particular years predicted by the construction company top management (both the biggest and middle/small construction companies) throughout the analysed regions, and the impact of their predictions on the company behaviour in the selected spheres of the entrepreneur environment. The analyses bring the comparison of the methods by means of which the companies acquire new business orders, the extent of transparency and/or corruption in particular countries, changes during the economic crisis, the extent of company risk and key priorities on particular markets, as well as the comparison of the key limitations that have the main impact on the economic results of the construction company. Using the originally developed methodology and the model of research implementation, the thesis provides the analyses of considerably reliable information about the operation and behaviour of the construction companies on the market in the neighbouring countries, as well as the necessary insight which can facilitate the expansion of the Czech companies into the selected countries. At the same time, the construction research model has been verified in practice by regular construction research studies which assist construction companies in their decision making and orientation on the changeable construction markets both in the Czech Republic and in other selected countries. The outcomes and results of particular research studies have been presented and discussed during the regular 'Encounters of Czech, Slovak, and Polish Construction Leaders' by the construction company top management as well as by the representatives of the government of particular countries. The thesis outcomes prove that the originally developed methodology applied in the follow-up research can facilitate and provide relevant and high-quality predictions about the developments in construction industry, which can be successfully used by the top management in their decisions on the future prospects of their company business opportunities in Central and Eastern European countries. Currently, more than 4,700 users in the Czech Republic make use of the particular research studies on the developments in construction in the Czech Republic and in other selected countries. As results from the carried out research, it is possible for the Czech construction companies to make use of business opportunities and to expand to neighbouring countries, especially to Slovakia and Poland, and, with regard to geographical closeness of the researched markets and considerable similarity of construction works/applied technologies, thus compensate for a plunge in domestic orders by the export of construction works. Specialized construction companies with higher business value-added will have the biggest potential.

Art school in Brno
Vystrčilová, Kamila ; Marek, Jiří (referee) ; Šindlar, Jiljí (advisor) ; Čupr, Karel (advisor)
The following bachelor’s thesis is based on the study created in the subject AG32. The thesis further developed this study to the level of Building permit documentation and Documentation for execution of the project. The theme of the project is an Art school which is situated in Brno, Kraví hora, Veveří. The place of the design is on the hillside orientated to the north-east with the view all over the city, which significantly affected the whole design. Nerby the solved land is a big park, the Observatory and Planetarium in Brno, a swimming pool and other sports fields and also gardening, below the hill takes place the Faculty of Civil engineering of the Brno university of Technology. My main goal was a design of an art school, which will be used by the residents of all age groups from all over Brno and it’s surroundings, but mostly by children, students and other young people. The building respects the context of the locality, with it’s form and appearance which reacts on the sloping terrain. It is monumental from the city view, but doesn’t overtop the existing buildings and doesn’t disturb the panorama of the hill of Kraví hora. My design consists of three connected objects which facades have different materials that ideologicly depend on the purpouse of each building. Between the two main buildings there is a passage flaring up to the hill. This passage serves as a public space and it’s purpouse is to connect the most frequently used entrances to the land (from the Rybkova street to the observatory) and it makes the way faster and more pleasant for the people crossing the place. Thanks to this fact, the building is the part of the park without distorting the main communications of the place.
