Winter Bird Assemblages in Different types of Rural Settlements along the Czech-Polish Border
Moravec, David ; Zasadil, Petr (advisor) ; Šmejdová, Lucie (referee)
In the last few years there has been a significant decrease in the of number of wild birds across the Europe. It is mostly concerns synantropic species and species related to agricultural landscapes. The main cause of this decrease could be the changes in agriculture and also changes in the character of village surroundings and therefore the connection to a decrease of livestock.
In this thesis a comparison of the differences in the bird community in winter months has been made, focusing on a sparrow in the Czech-Polish borderlands. There have been found differences between the agriculture development and development of rural settlements in each of these countries especially in the second part of the 20th.century. At the end of my thesis there are the comparison results of my thesis and the research, that was carried out in the summer months of 2014.
The main research was done between December 2015 and January 2016 along the CzechPolish border. 16 villages were chosen and in each village there were 2 research areas the the dimensions of 100 x 100 meters. The total study consists of 64 research areas in different types of environments. The data collection was done twice in each area.
The results show that in the Czech republic there occurred more birds and also birds species. It has been demonstrated, that poultry farming has a major impact on sparrow numbers. Out of the six surveyed habitats the one with the most birds was found to be found in the middle of a village with a factory farm and the most bird species were found on the outskirts.

Comparison of the performance of selected varieties of winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus)
Krouželová, Jana ; Bečka, David (advisor) ; Roman, Roman (referee)
Winter oilseed rape is the most important oilseed plant grown in the Czech Republic. During
recent years, rapeseed sown areas rapidly increased due to its complex usage in industry.
Similarly, the rapeseed oil gains importance which is used in food industry.
The successful cultivation of rapeseed includes the right cultivation technology as well as the
choice of suitable variety which will be the adapted to climatic conditions of location. There
are over 600 varieties to choose from based on Common Catalogue of Varieties of
Agricultural Plant Species from which is about 80 varieties commonly used in practice in
climatic conditions of the Czech Republic. Suitability of these varieties and their yield are
tested based on variety testing conducted by ÚKZUZ. The varieties which proved to be
suitable based on previous testing are recommended for cultivation and placed in
Recommended List of Varieties which helps farmers to orientate in new varieties in the Czech
Republic.The aim of this diploma thesis is a comparison of the performance of selected varieties of
rapeseed which were cultivated in semi-operational conditions in Humburky,
Kralovehradecky region. In this theses yield, oil content, 1000 seed weight were compared.
Two hypotheses were set:
1) Hybrid varieties reach higher height and yield
2) Oil content of liner and hybrids cultivars is equivalent
Further these features were observed: plant height, pod number on the terminal raceme, stalk
number on the terminal raceme, number of primary and secondary branches, height and length
of yield floor and their correlation with yield.
Cultivar Faktor KWS (hybrid) reached the best yield from selected varieties, yielding 5,02 t/
ha (119,2 % average yield). The average yields of liner and hybrids cultivars were almost
equivalent (4,16 t/ha hybrids and 4,10 t/ha liner). The greatest difference between liner and
hybrid varieties was observed in plant height. The hybrids reached 10 cm higher on the
average than liner varieties.
The second hypothesis about the similar oil content of hybrid and liner varietes was
confirmed. Observed varieties reached both 43,3 % of oil content .

The beginnings of collective investment in the Czech Republic are associated with the coupon privatization in the 90s of the last century. The basic advantages of this method of investing can include risk diversification, professional portfolio management, liquidity of the investment, regulation and tax benefits. The theoretical part describes the historical development of this business in the financial market. The systematization of collective investment was proposed according to the subject of investing, the method of returns distribution to investors, the terms of investment strategy, the investor's investment profile and according to the existing legislation. Transparent classification schemes were created for particular perspectives. The analytical part of the thesis analyzes the processes used to measure the performance of mutual funds, characterization of the risks associated with collective investment and the possible ways to hedge the foreign currency exchange rate risk. The outputs of the thesis respond to two hypotheses: H1: The monthly cost to hedge the foreign exchange risk affects the monthly performance of the mutual fund on the basis of the correlation in time series. H2: Is the information on the costs of exchange rate hedging required for quality decisionmaking for a small investor (consumer).
