Turek, František ; Kříž, Emil (advisor) ; Kutílek, Josef (referee)
Bachelor thesis titled "Evaluation of material and technical equipment of vocational schools for teaching practical skills with suggestion for improvement" aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the provison process of the neccesary material and technical equipment of selected secondary schools.
The theoretical part of this thesis will describe the principles of how it works based on the study of scientific literature, the necessary laws, internet links as well as documents collated from the participating high school. The main points of the educational programs, including the history and the movable and immovable equipment and facilities of the participating school, will be higlighted in the next part. The last part of this thesis will analyze different groups which include: teaching staff and operational personnel.
The practical part of the thesis will assess and gradually describe in detail the overall process of the material-technical provision of the participating high school in a real perspective with a focus on the accurate state using practical experience of the author of this work as well as the analysis of the various roles of the participants in this research. In addition, the interview research method will be used with the school staff, in particular the teachers of practical training followed by the operational staff and then complemented with personal observations and collection of information on the examined issues. The interview method will also be used for comparison between the different schools. The final part will propose options for improving the process at two different levels: first which is technical-administrative and the second level which is the communication of the personnel.

Evaluation of the Influence of the Grant Programs aimed at the Management and Development of Villages Litovel and Příkazy
Klinecká, Olga ; Homolka, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Lucie, Lucie (referee)
This thesis, called Assessment of the impact of grant projects on the economy and development of the municipalities Litovel and Prikazy, compares the selected municipalities on the basis of the impacts of the provision of public subsidies on their economy, development and the quality of life of their inhabitants. The aim of the thesis is to analyze what factors influence the way how the municipalities exploit the potential of subsidies for their development. Therefore, the analysis compares two municipalities with very similar starting conditions (they are located in close proximity and in the same region) and the main difference between them is their size. In the theoretical parts the key concepts are defined such as municipality, its competence, bodies and economy. Building upon that, the practical part analyses the economy of the specified municipalities and impact of grant projects on the economy. Furthermore, the most relevant projects are presented. In order to achieve comparability of selected municipalities, a survey among their inhabitants has been realized. Concluding, the thesis compares the impacts of realized grant projects in both municipalities on their economy as well as their development and the quality of life of local inhabitants.

Basic comparison winter wheat and neighboring flowering strip
Suchý, Viktor ; Kazda, Jan (advisor) ; Josef, Josef (referee)
Summary
The winter wheat belongs to the staple crop not only around the whole world, but also in the Czech Republic, where it has been grown on about 38 percent of the cultivated land and, regarding the general share of cereals, on 60 percent of the cultivated land. Since the cereals do not provide nectar, nor are they the valuable source of pollen, as regards to the diversity of insects the cereals provide rather poor environment. The lack of food resources for the living species of insects in the agricultural landscape influenced by the high ratio of cereals should be compensated by flowering strips. Regardless of the potential of the flowering strips to support the biodiversity of insects in landscapes, the flowering strips could boost useful species of insects in surrounding plants and help with pest control.
In 2014 the research experiment on a flowering nectar-rich biostrip supposedly improving the presence of pollinators as well as natural enemies was done on the field of the research station in Uhrineves, Prague. In autumn 2014 the winter wheat was sowed and then in spring 2015 the flowering strips consisting of 12 plant species were sowed along one side of the winter wheat field. The observations of the insect species presence were always conducted during favourable climatic conditions from the beginning of June until the harvest of winter wheat in late July. Insect captures were conducted using Moericke traps method once or twice a week and sweep-netting method once every two weeks. The number of insects species such as predators (Coccinellidae, Cantharidae, Staphylinidae), parasitoids (Hymenoptera parasitica) and pollinators (Syrphidae) were observed. Simultaneously, the intensity of flowering including species of weeds was assessed. The open flowers were counted on four unchanged spots on the field, the area of 1 square metre. MS Excel was used for data processing.
The hypothesis of the project has been confirmed. Using the sweepnetting methods, the higher number of monitored insect species has been found in the flowering strips compared to the wheat vegetation. Significantly higher number of parasitic wasps specimens has been observed. The sweepnetting method is considered as an appropriate in comparison to Moericke traps, which have been luring the insects in the vicinity, but have not proved the real presence of insects in the cover.

Growth performance of common-sized planting stock and saplings after plantation on forest sites
Kaiser, Josef ; Kuneš, Ivan (advisor) ; Tužinský, Marek (referee)
The clear-cut area which is afforested in the Czech Republic is around 20 th. hectares large annually. In the last decades, we have observed frequent periods of the spring and late summer drought, which significantly negatively influence survival of the reglarly used transplants (RUT) however. Thus, it is necessary to search methods, which can decrease such losses. One possiblity how to solve this problém is to used containered transplants, the second one is the use of the plant material (PM) of bigger size (semi-large-sized=SLSPS and large-sized planted stock=LSPS). These larger plants are more resistant to unsuitable influences of environment than the RUT. The advantage of SLSPS and LSPS is also shorter time of necessary care to plants and lower costs to secure plants in comparison to RUT. Above mentioned facts were taken into consideration in creation of instructions for my bachelor thesis. The goal was to estimate the parameters of mortality and growth of selected various PM, moreover on sites heavily influenced by human activities. As model trees were selected: oak (Quercus robur) and lime (Tilia cordata). PM was generally bare-rooted (RUT, SLSPS and LSPS) and planting was done by mechanize equipment (into bored holes) at study sites Truba (Kostelec nad Černými lesy) and Hůrka (Planá nad Lužnicí). The first part of experiment was established at Truba on area of former forest nursery and cosisted of lime RUT and LSPS, the second one was established at site Hůrka in area of former sand querry, where RUT, and oak and lime SLSPS and LSPS were used. No one site was moved during experiments. The measurement on Truba was repeated on spring and on autumn 2012-15 and in 2015 on Hůrka. The height of PM was evaluated by using scale lath, the thickness of stem was measured above ground by using digital scale. Subsequently, data were evaluated in Excel and statistically tested by Kruskal-Wallis test. The results indicate, that mortality of RUT at Truba is 5 times larger than that of LSPS. The similar result was obtained also at Hůrka, the mortality of lime RUT was twice larger than in case of LSPS however. The lowest mortality was observed surprisely on SLSPS. The comparison of the oak RUT and LSPS indicated no any differences in mortality. The mortality of oak PM was generally significantly lover than lime PM one. Statistical tests also indicated, that the size of study sets of PM was too low for optimal scientific evaluation of selected parameters. The obtained results also indicate, that important factor, which influences mortality must be (apart from type of the PM) also additional, non-defined factors of environment up to now.

Šimůnková, Viktorie ; Lačev, Alek (advisor) ; Matej, Matej (referee)
The bachelor thesis is focused on problems of teacher motivation in education. The subject of this thesis is to analyse methods of motivation, stimulation and possibilities of the teacher's professional growth. The theoretical part of the thesis deals with the concept of motivation, motivational systems, motivational process and elements as well as specific pedagogy employee motivation, interpersonal relationships in the workplace and evaluation and appreciation of teachers. The practical part of the thesis, based on interviews and questionnaires, concentrates on motivation instruments in chosen institutions and their practical usage. Finally the thesis compares the results of a public and private high school. The aim of this thesis is to analyse motivational instruments used in chosen educational institutions, analyse their efficiency, compare and reveal the departure in the usage of motivation in a public and private high school. The major research findings are that the pedagogues think their profession is a mission and they are influenced by their intrinsic motivation. The teachers rate the workplace and communication with the principal positively. They see a big problem in insufficient financial evaluation and a few possibilities of professional growth.

Alkaline phosphatase as an indicator for the heat treatment of the milk for cheesemaking
Summary
The aim of this diploma thesis was to summarize current knowledge about the evaluation of alkaline phosphatase activity as an indicator of heat treatment of milk for production of dairy products in theoretical part. In experimental part were comparised 2 methods for this enzyme activity determination, the original according to ČSN EN ISO 11816-2 (2003), using pasteurized milk as an extracting agent, and ISO 11816-2/IDF 155-2 (2010), using extraction buffer. For comparison were used 110 cheese samples, 8 quarg products, 49 fresh cheese products, 9 spiced fresh cheese products, 7 white-brined cheese products, 7 Penicillium sp. flora cheese products, 5 coryneform flora cheese products and 25 semi-hard and hard cheese products.
Alkaline phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.1) is a hydrolase cleaving phosphate groups at the 5th and 3rdposition of many molecules including especially nucleotides and proteins. The enzyme has a pH optimum in the alkaline range (pH 10), their cofactors are ions Zn2+and inhibitors Cu2+. Dairy alkaline phosphatase derived from mammary epithelium and other cellular residua in milk. In this medium is the enzyme localized on the membrane of fat globules. Their amount depends on the stage of lactation (the highest concentration is in colostrum) and animal health (their concentration increases when disease, especially mastitis, starts). Due to its specific thermostability is alkaline phosphatase used for proof of milk and milk products pasteurization.
In the experimental part of the diploma thesis was found that the recommended substitution of pasteurized milk for buffer improves enzyme extraction process from cheese matrix and so enhances method sensitivity (p > 0.05). Method unsuitability for Penicillium sp. flora cheese (especially for blue-veined ones) was also confirmed (p > 0.05). This unsuitability could be explained by content of microbial alkaline phosphatase. For the same reason might not be this method suitable also for coryneform flora cheese. On the contrary, this analysis is suitable (p > 0.05) for white-brined cheese. For spiced fresh cheese were the results in terms of evaluation suitability ambiguous. Based on the obtained data was also confirmed the suitability of proposed limit (10 mU/g) for residual enzyme activity in products from pasteurized milk.

Comparison of the nutritional quality of school meals
Plisková, Gabriela ; Kouřimská, Lenka (advisor) ; Diana, Diana (referee)
School lunches are a part of a day for almost every child, therefore it is important to serve nutritionally balanced meals in canteen and to supply children with nutrients. School canteens are important educational resources, providing a model that guides student food choices and composition of their meal could be a possible mechanism for child obesity prevention, what has become a phenomenon of these days. According to the regulation of the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports no. 107/2005 Coll. a school lunch should provide 35% of the daily income of energy.
In this work were evaluated lunches of two Czech elementary schools in period of 10 days. The nutritional value of meals was evaluated by lists of used food processing and subsequent their comparison with recommended doses in the Nutriservis program.
The results of comparing with recommended values were similar for both schools. Lunches at both schools exceeded the recommended daily dose prescribed for protein, sodium, potassium and vitamin C. Contrary calcium had not reached the recommended daily dose anytime.
We can´t conclusively say, that the school served meals were unsuitable, because the meal consumed during the rest of the day is not included.

Comparison of fertility and yield of Suffolk sheeps in the Czech Republic with some foreign Suffolk sheeps managements
Černá, Michaela ; Kracíková, Olga (advisor) ; Valníčková, Barbora (referee)
Suffolk breed is the English hornless breed which belongs to the breed of meat yield. Typical features are excellent maternal qualities, good milkiness of ewes and fertility, less fertile period (lambing mostly in winter and spring) and good adaptability to different climatic conditions and breeding conditions. The breed is characterized by a black outer coat on the face of the head and lower part of legs, wool is short, white, semi-fine.
Suffolk breed is characterized by high fertility throughout the production period ewes. Season, age, interval among lambing, body weight and body conditions score, nutrition, genetics, breeding and heat stress belong to the factors affecting fertility. When we compare fertility sheep breed Suffolk in the Czech Republic and Slovakia we achieved a higher number of ewes, improved fertility and fertilization. On the contrary, Slovakia has achieved better results in fertility at lambing ewe. It was also achieved in Canada in comparison with our republic.
It is a major prerequisite of the production of heavy great muscled slaughter lambs with very good quality meat at meat production. Meat production is influenced by hormones, nutrition, gender, influence year and month of lambing, ewes age, litter size on the dependent variable. The values are not very different when meat production in Suffolk breed is evaluated in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. In spite of it, the Czech Republic achieves better results in weight of lambs at 100 days and the average daily gain. If we evaluate the difference between meat production in Canada and the Czech Republic in selected parameters such as birth weight of lambs, weight of lambs at 100 days of age and avarage daily gain, Canada clearly has much better results. The main cause is a different type of breed.
Increase fertility and meat production can be achieved mainly by improving reproduction and production indicators.

Horáková, Eliška ; Holuša, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Lukášová, Karolína (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with the important pests of spruce . The theoretical part summarizes the knowledge and information about tenthredinds the genus Pikonema and Pachynematus further concentrates on the method of trapping tenthredinds. The occurence and species composition of tenthredinds in three mountainous areas in the Czech republic is monitored in the practical part. It is the site of Albrechtice, Trojmezná and Medvědín. Malaise traps Townes type for catching insects were installed in the period from early May to early July on selected localities. The traps were checked every fortnight. When checking was always supplemented pure alcohol. After sorting and determination of tenthredinds data were processed by the statistical program, which confirmed the numerical superiority of males over females and overall numerical serenity of the occurrence of the tenthredinds. The numbers of Pikonema pallescens and Pachynematus scutellatum are lower, but the results are not statistically significantly different.
