Inventory of woody plants in an area of 'Červený vrch' in Prague 6 and elaboration of the digital map of this selected area
Táborská, Anna ; Kunt, Miroslav (advisor) ; Prokeš, Radek (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to evaluate the current condition of flora located on the housing estate Červený Vrch in the municipal district Prague 6. The inventoried area is situated in the north-eastern part of the housing estate between the streets of Evropská st. and Horoměřická st. In this territory the woody plants have been inventoried according to Machovec (1982). The individual components of the local dendroflora have been indentified and localised in a work map or, eventually, by GPS coordinates. Based on the beforementioned localization a digital map of woody plants was created using the AutoCAD software. Furthermore the values of age and height of the local woody plants were measured and the landscaping value was determined. All the beforementioned values were imported to the inventory tables, which were created using the Microsoft Excel software and are a part of the thesis results.
In the literature search there is a short summary of the history of the garden art. Furthermore there is a chapter devoted to the historical evolution of the urban flora, the urbanism of the 20th century and the creation of housing estates in Prague. The presented thesis also contains chapters devoted to the important persons of the urbanism movement, such as Ebenezer Howard and Le Corbusier, who played a major part in the emergence of flora into the cities. The Ebenezer Howard theory of the garden city is analysed in detail. The next part of the research is dedicated to the landscape creation, its values and division. The final part is devoted to the urban greenery and its division and importance.
The sole area of Vokovice in Prague, where the Červený Vrch housing estate is located, is described in detail in the Chapter named the materials and methods. In particular, the nature characterization of landscape, the history of Vokovice housing estate and the construction of a prefab housing estate from around the time of 60s and 70s are analysed. The used methods of invetorying according to Machovec (1982) and subsequently the process of invetorying are described.
The second half of this thesis consists of the inventory tables and the visual and verbal evaluation of the beforementioned tables. From the results it is evident that the largest portion of 60% of woody plants is represented by deciduous shrubs, and hence there are plenty of their growths. This is mainly caused by the large number of seeding trees present. Thereafter the most frequently present tree species and their measured characteristics are evaluated. Finally, there is a comparison of the methods of inventorying according to Machovec and the classification of woody vegetation elements by Miloš Pejchal.

From the other side of the Atlantic: Witold Gombrowicz in Argentina and his dialogue with the (Polish) culture
Kanda, Roman
For the literary work of the Polish writer Witold Gombrowicz (1904–1969), distinct thematical-motivic coherence and compactness of thinking is characteristic. A conflict between creative individuality (creative „self “) and limiting form of culture (cultural „us“) is among the lines that permeate all his work, and especially his Diaries (written between 1953 and 1967, or rather 1969) most visibly. Gombrowicz’s radical anti-culturalism, accompanied with numerous scandals and provocations, must be seen as a consistent defence of his creative freedom, his subjectivity. Nevertheless, it also represents an alternative view of culture, revealing its so far hidden aspects (immatureness, clownish laughter, youth) as distinctive values.

Documentation of trees and shrubs of public garden "Hvezda" (Prague, Czech Republic)
Beranová, Zuzana ; Skalický, Milan (advisor) ; Martinková, Jaroslava (referee)
This bachelors thesis is focused on a brief characterization of Obora Hvězda (Star Game Reserve) and determination of tree species and measuring basic dendrometric values.
The first part is a literature research summarizing knowledge about Obora Hvězda, especially history and biology. History of Obora Hvězda is described since its origin in the 16th century. Emphasis is placed on the Star Summer Palace, which is a part of it. The study also discusses the fauna and flora of the area and, finally, evaluating the state of health of selected trees. The thesis is complemented by photographs and maps.
The second part focuses on the actual determination and measuring dendrometric values. In methodology there is described each step of measurement that had to be performed to determine all of the dendrometric values and also every tool that was used. The results include tables and graphs which are explained and commented upon in the discussion. The resume includes the evaluation of the overall condition of the trees in Obora Hvězda, especially the state of health and landscaping values.
The selected trees were first determined, then their coordinates were found by GPS Garmin Dakota 20 and marked on the map. Dendrometric values like tree girth and tree height were measured using 30m tape measure Cabrio Komelon and altimeter Nikon Laser 550A, crown width and height of deployment was also measured. During the research, the health state, physiological age and landscaping value of each tree was assessed. The photo documentation was done by the LG L90 device.
In the area of interest 50 trees, which can be classified into five plant families, were measured. The occurrence of Quercus petraea, Fagus sylvatica, Acer pseudoplatanus, Fraxinus excelsior, Betula pendula and Pinus nigra was confirmed. The most abundant is Quercus petraea, which is widely planted and covers the vast majority of Obora Hvězda. The fewest is of Fraxinus excelsior and Betula pendula. B. pendula should be gradually removed, since it is an aerochoric tree. The same can be said about non-native P. nigra, which was planted in the past and currently has a negative impact on the forest development. Most of the area of the natural monument occupy deciduous forests. Physiological age of most trees was marked by number 4, which stands for adult trees that are starting to show signs of growth stagnation. Adolescents (grade 3) were also present. Most of the trees were in good to excellent health condition. The results showed that in the area of interest there are not any trees in emergency or highly disturbed state. Most of the trees also show a high landscaping value, which means that in the area of interest we can find, with a few exceptions, trees of good quality. Occurrence of the valued species in Obora Hvězda was also confirmed by two previous studies, in 1986 and 2010.

Some Results on Set-Valued Possibilistic Distributions
Kramosil, Ivan
When proposing and processing uncertainty decision making algorithms of various kinds and purposes we meet more and more often probability distributions ascribing to random events non-numerical uncertainty degrees. The reason is that we have to process systems of uncertainties for which the classical conditions like sigma-additivity or linear ordering of values are too restrictive to define sufficiently closely the nature of uncertainty we would like to specify and process. For the case of non-numerical uncertainty degrees at least the two criteria may be considered. First systems with rather complicated, but sophisticated and nontrivially formally analyzable uncertainty degrees. E.g., uncertainties supported by some algebras or partially ordered structures. Contrary, we may consider more easy non-numerical, but on the intuitive level interpretable relations. Well-known examples of such structures are set-valued possibilistic measures. Some perhaps interesting particular results in this direction will be introduced and analyzed in the contribution.

The economic evaluation of beef cattle breeding
Říhová, Monika ; Toušová, Renata (advisor) ; Jan, Jan (referee)
The objective of this dissertation is the evaluation of economic indicators of beef cattle farming on a specific family farm in the time period from 2013 to 2015 in Bukovina u Čisté village, Semily District. The family focuses on a crop and livestock production. The farming takes place on 110 hectares of land, the fertile ground makes 54 ha. The livestock production concentrates on breeding cows without any milk production and the bulls fattening. The amount of cows was 23 pieces to 27 pieces in the period from 2013 to 2015. Because of the crossbreeding the cows following breeds are represented: Czech Pied cattle (20 %), Limousin (72 %) and Charolais (8 %). In the bulls fattening area were more breeds represented caused by the purchased bulls. Breeds represented: Limousin (32 %), Czech Pied cattle (42 %), Blonde d Aquitaine (1 %), Aberdeen Angus (23 %) and Holstein cattle (3 %).
The processing and evaluation of economic results was prevented by factors affecting the economics of farming. In the reproduction part are the factors - the calving interval, the age structure of the cows and the scatter of births during the year. The bulls fattening part contains the research of the bulls breeds representation, age structure and carcass weight. The economic indicators consist of the evaluation of the costs, revenues, profit and the level of profitability. The breeding was evaluated in the conclusion of this dissertation and the suggestions for improvement was recommended.
The calving interval of the cows in 2013 lasted on average of 408 days, in 2014 decreased by 9 % to 373 days, and in 2015 decreased by further 9 % up to 337 days. Heifers reached 3 years of age at birthing. The oldest cows were 11 years old. The biggest group of cows was at the age of 7 years with a 27 % share. The Breeders preference is the calving during the winter to spring time period. In 2013 the birthing period lasted from February to July, in 2014 from March, except June and August, until October and in 2015 from February to August. For the entire period was 76 % of births in the barn and 24 % of births on pasture. In the entire period 76 % of births happened in the barn and 24 % of births on pasture.
The bulls fattening contained 42 % of own breeding and the next part consist of purchased bulls. The largest group of bulls are Czech Pied cattle constituting of 42 %. Limousin Bulls breeds and Aberdeen Angus breeds created 21 % and 79 % out of that are owned by the breeder. The best average of hot carcass weight (HCW) was 399kg at Aberdeen Angus breed. The value of the carcass at Limousin bulls was 8 % lower and the bulls of the Czech Pied cattle was more than 20 % lower. The slaughter bulls were sold at an average age of 23 months and HCW 344 kg in 2013, in 2014 at the average age of 24 months and HCW 379 kg, in 2015 at the average age of 22 months and HCW 330 kg. The highest variability was recorded in the year 2015 with a value of 34,63 % and the lowest in 2013 with 8,80 %.
During the time period the highest cost entry has not changed. Just the share was different. The feed entry share was at 61,7 % in 2013, at 68,89 % in 2014 and at 52,30 % in 2015. 95,7 % of the total cost was assigned to the own feeding. The expenses in 2013 were 912 919 CZK, in 2014 dropped to 845 368 CZK and in 2015 increased to 1 213 190 CZK. The cost of one feeding day per cattle in 2013 was 28,10 CZK, in 2014 decreased to 26,02 CZK and in 2015 increased to 37,35 CZK.
The revenues were affected by the sale of cattle for slaughter. In 2013 was sold 21 pieces of cattle for a total amount of 545 040 CZK, in 2014 was sold 32 pieces of bulls in the total value of 977 643 CZK and in 2015 36 pieces of bulls in the total amount of 867 885,60 CZK. The sales of slaughter units in the total amount of revenue in 2013 did the share of 68,61 %, in 2014 increased to 72,25 % and in 2015 decreased to 59,20 %. In 2015 was the receipt share from slaughter bulls of 30 % based on the sale of alive bulls to Austria. Total revenues in 2013 were 823 517 CZK, in 2014 increased by 39 % to 1 353 080 CZK and in 2015 increased by 7 % to 1 466 062 CZK.
The Profit was calculated in 2013 as a loss in the value of 89 402 CZK. In the subsequent years there was a profit. In 2014 profit in the amount of 507 712 CZK and in 2015 the profit decreased to 252 872 CZK. The profit ratio in 2013 amounted to a negative value - 10 %, in 2014 increased to 60 % and in 2015 dropped to 21 %.

Importance and possibilities of winter cereals utilization in organic farming
Valdmanová, Miroslava ; Capouchová, Ivana (advisor) ; Petr, Petr (referee)
Organic agriculture is not only a way how to produce food and feed raw materials in
friendly way , but also it has very important secondary and landscaping functions. Production
without chemical inputs into organic farming is very important, but in a broader sense it helps
this system to bring the landscape, to it is original and natural functions.
The most grown cereal in organic farming in CZ is common wheat., which in year
2014 reaches an average return 3,05 t.ha-1
, was grown on an area of 6 117 ha and structure of
the grain it took part 24 %. For winter crops after the decree takes for the following wheat,
triticale with the average yield 2,97 t.ha-1
in the year 2014 with area of 3 530 ha, it is in
aproximatelly 14% of the structure of grain crop in organic agriculture. Than rye followed by
achieved in 2014 the average yield of 2,90 t.ha-1
and area of grown 2 392 ha, it is structure of
the grain in organic agriculture less than 10%.
Monitoring and evalution of wider range of varieties of winter wheat in organic and
conventional agriculture has been pursued in the Research station of the Department of Crop
production in Prague - Uhříněves since 1994. The results of experiments can help ecological
farmers in better orientation in available varieties and to facilitate the selection of a suitable
variety for their needs. Parts this long term activities is also my diploma thesis.
As expected, in general cultivars of conventionals wals of growing reached higher
yields in our experiment - cultivars Tobak (B) - 11,6 t.ha-1
, Gordian (B) a Matylda (A) - the
same yield 11,0 t.ha-1
and the most low yield was in cultivars Bohemia (A) - 9,6 t.ha-1
, Annie
(E) a Cimrmanova raná (E) - both the same 9,8 t.ha-1
.
In ecological system was discover the most high yield in cultivars Gordian (B) - 9,5
t.ha-1
a Tobak (B) - 9,3 t.ha-1
, the most low than in cultivars Bohemia (A) - 8,0 t.ha-1
,
Cimrmanova raná (E) - 8,2 t.ha-1
a Annie (E) - 8,5 t.ha-1
. It is therefore clear, that in both
type of system of cultivation reached the most high and the most low amount of yield the
same cultivars. But is important to say , that good amount of results reached cultivars Evina
and Fabina too. Both are from quality group of E (mostly in ecological type of economy).
Cultivars which reached in our attempts the best results of yield, had the samet he best results
of healty test and on arganic area was no flattened.
The evaluation of quality indicators showed that the conventional method of
cultivation, the highest N-content in dry matter corn varieties Annie (E) - 13.8% and
Cimrman's early (E) - 13.2%; lowest then Seladon varieties (B) and Vanessa (C) - the two
identically 10.7%. The organic way of growing the highest content of N in dry matter corn
varieties observed in Cimrman's early (E) and Eve (E) - two identically 11.6% and
immediately behind Annie (E) - 11.5%. The lowest content of N in dry matter showed grain
varieties Tobak (B) and Vanessa (C) - the two identically 9.7%. In both systems, the
cultivation is evident in consistent trend of gradual reduction of N in dry matter from grain
varieties of quality Group E (elite) to a variety of quality Group C (other unsuitable for baking
process).
In case of Zeleny test achieved in the conventional system the highest values variety
Annie (E) - and 60.2 ml Cimrman's early (57.3 mL); then the lowest varieties Vanessa (C) -
25.3 ml and KWS Ozon (C) - 29.7 ml. The organic way of cultivation had recorded the
highest value Zeleny test for early varieties Cimrman (E) - 55.8 ml and Fabius (E) - 47.0 ml,
the lowest varieties KWS Ozon (C) - 24.7 ml and Vanessa (C ) - 19.0 ml. As in the case of N
content in dry matter-grains is also here in both systems growing trend decrease values SBV
test of quality varieties of groups E to a variety of quality group C.
In the event that organic farmers farmed in similar environmental conditions, such as
those on the Department of Crop production in Praha-Uhříněves and sought food quality
wheat, it would be him on the basis of our results, we recommended eg. a variety of Eve and
Fabius (both from a quality group E) which reached both good quality and satisfactory yields
of grain (in the case of a significant focus on quality and variety Annie and Cimrman's early -
both also quality group E). In the case of preference revenue would be recommended
varieties, some varieties of quality group B, for example. Gordian and Tobak.
The work was completed at the end of a brief comparison of the economy growing
wheat in organic and conventional systems. From this comparison came out better ecological
wheat (despite significantly lower revenues), mainly due to the significantly higher price,
a higher total subsidies and lower variable costs.

Influence hematological and biochemical parameters by different dogs.
Pechová, Eva ; Fučíková, Alena (advisor) ; Václav, Václav (referee)
The topic of this diploma work was to evaluate the hematological and biochemical indicators of various breeds of dogs. The aim of this work was to evaluate the blood samples taken
from 10 dogs and 10 bitches of various breeds and find out the dependency of values
in relation to their age, nutrition and sex. The samples were processed and evaluated from May to October 2015. The following was examined from the hematological indicators: RBC, HGB, HCT, MCV, WBC and a blood smear was made, from which a differential count
of leucocytes was made. Furthermore, the following biochemical indicators were examined: TP, GLU, CHOL and ATP. The literature research first focused on the basic components
of dog feed. Moreover, the hematological and biochemical indicators of blood as well as the methodology of the whole experiment were described. The results were processed with the aid of the RStudio program and the following basic statistical characteristics were counted: median, minimum, maximum and standard deviation. The ANOVA statistical method was used, in which the dependency of values among sex, age category and the type of feed fed
to the animals was determined. Furthermore, the values among the breeds were compared. From the differences observed among the breeds, there was an increase in red blood cells
in German Shepherds and Dobermans. Dobermans, Labrador Retrievers and German shepherd crossbreeds had increased values of ALT. Significant findings showed that there was an increase in the number of red blood cells and hematocrits in subjects fed with granulated feed as opposed to subjects with a combined diet. The difference was also observed for MCV between the genders.
Differences between the genders were found for ALT values. More data would be needed
to confirm the relationship to age. ALT values are dependent on the type of feed, where the values are higher in subjects fed with a completely granulated diet. The values of total protein increased in dogs with age. This trend is likely to be observed in bitches. For subjects fed a combined diet (granulated feed + home diet) an increase in the value of total protein was observed with age. For subjects fed granulated feed, this increase was not as significant.

Simulated Verification of Complex Technology Project
Varjan, Matúš ; Hrubý, Jiří (referee) ; Lenort,, Radim (referee) ; Rumíšek, Pavel (advisor)
In the introduction, doctoral thesis as a complex technological project uses the summary title Stability of production. Stability of production is defined as a maintaining the required properties of the system over a given time period. Stability of production, based on the literature study included: – generally known systems and concepts, for example Process Stability, System Stability, Toyota Production System, Lean Manufacturing, etc. – less-known systems and concepts, for example Maintaining the fidelity of the production program, Stable order-sequence concept. The practical part of the doctoral thesis is focused on the less-known concept: Stable order-sequence. The task of the Stable order-sequence is to follow the sequence of orders given by the planned production program in the course of the production and at the end of production. Maintaining the sequence of the orders has a positive experience in the logistics activities between the final producer and its suppliers. As it was found by the planned experiment for a full factory plan, the sequence of orders in the material flow of original equipment manufacturer is influenced mainly by: – the cause of the removing orders from material flow, – the effect of the causes LIFO stack vs. branched material flow, – the effect of the causes LIFO stack vs. branched material flow vs. the removing from the material flow. By the analysis of Stable order-sequence, it was found that the methodology of the concept contains deficiencies. It does not state how to choose for example the size of the time period, time interval, data editing etc. By this lack, the subject can skew the results in the evaluation of the indicator PFT0 up to 4 %. Or by using of suitable adjustment, the value of the indicator PFT0 can be improved more than 50 %. To test the concept of a Stable order-sequence in practice has been designed technological project with the support of discrete-event simulation. It was about the implementation of new management logic to the stack behind the welding of original equipment manufacturer. The new logic of management was designed with an emphasis on Stable order-sequence concept, to arrange the orders in process according to the planned sequence. On the base of the functionality verification of the new stack logic, it was found that the logic affects the sequence of the orders, but not fundamentally. In tracking the hourly intervals for 25th calendar week 2013, the value of PFT0 was not improved in 37 cases, the value remains in 30 cases and the value was improved by the value of the median 18,68 % in 30 cases orders.
