Vaniš, Jakub ; Adámková, Vlasta (advisor) ; Sudliankou, Aliaksandr (referee)
The situation of Turkey's accession to the European Union is a very hot topic that is currently being discussed in the media and in various political debates around the world. This bachelor thesis deals with capturing of the current process from different perspectives using available data and genuine opinions of some Czech citizens. The thesis is divided into four chapters. The first part describes Turkey in terms of geographical and historical meanings. Part Two presents the sequence of events preceding the current position in the middle of Turkey's accession talks with the European Union. Some of the major barriers to the final integration are being discussed in the third part and chapter four analyzes the results of a short questionnaire on this issue.

The occurrence of Fascioloides magna in deers in South Bohemia
VERNEROVÁ, Kateřina
Giant liver fluke Fascioloides magna is the biggest represenative of flukes in the Czech Republic. This originally North American parasite was brought to Europe with wapiti deers in 1960s. Since that time Fascioloides magna has extended the area of its appearance and its host spectrum a lot. The first appearance of this parasite in the Czech Republic was noted for the first time at a fallow deer which was hunted down in Middle Bohemia in 1930. However in the early 1960s the number of positive findings started to increase at hoofed. In the last decade was observed the expansion of areas of appearance of this fluke in South Bohemia. That is why I decided to make examinations to evaluate the recent appearance of F. magna at deer family in the South Bohemia from March 2009 to January 2010. 74 samples of dropping of a deer from three different areas (Českobudějovicko, Třeboňsko and Šumava national park) were collected and examined and only in the sample from Šumava national park were proved the ovulums of F. magna. Then I examined 11 livers of deers which were hunted down in Šumava national park. In all these livers were found macroscopic changes. In all these examined livers was also finding of fluke F. magna in number from 1 to 72. From the reached results follows that the problems of appearance of F. magna is in the Czech Republic still actual and it is necessery to count with the extending area of appearance of this parasite in the future. Edification among hunting community and the use of information from trained people who make the primary examination of animals after hunting down are possible ways to catch up appearance and expansion of this serious parasite at hoofed.

Surveying of the \kur{I. glandulifera} and \kur{I. parviflora} occurrence on the chosen section of Želivka river.
URBAN, Miroslav
The aim of the study was to write a review of research literature on the invasion and in parallel to carry out research work on the subject myself. In the study I chose to focus two species of the genus Impatiens, namely I. glandulifera and I. parviflora. Then I chose a 7 km long stretch of the river Želivka in the Czech-Bohemian highlands to study and survey the population of these two species and plant association. Consequently I focused my study on the river biotope and the role of invasive species in it. It is known, that I. glandulifera and I. parviflora are invasive species which tends to cause disruption to native biotopes. The former forms homogenous arrays near river banks, the latter forms this arrays in forests. In my study I examined the following questions: a) Do river and brook plant association differ in species? b) Which species are correlated with I. glandulifera and I. parviflora and which composition species occur most frequently with the subject species? c) Have different level of shading any impact on species composition? I tested these hypotheses using Statistica 8 (Statsoft Inc. 2007) and CANOCO (ter Braak and Šmilauer 2002) programs. The conclusion is that river and brook plant association differ in species composition. River plant association is lower in plant diversity (Shannon-Wiener index is 0,7; Z = -2,82208, p = 0,004772). Species correlated with I. glandulifera and I. parviflora are detailed on Fig. 7., 8., 9., and 12. The last finding was that different level of shading have impact on species composition in river and brook plant association (Z - Tab. 6, p = 0,0002).

Amphibians of the Protected landscape area Blaník
ČANDA, Jan
The principal aim of this diploma thesis was the mapping of amphibian species inhabiting the Protected Landscape Area Blaník. The field research was carried out during the years 2005 to 2006. The occurrence of following 8 species and 1 synklepton was confirmed: Smooth Newt (Triturus vulgaris), Warty Newt (Triturus cristatus), Alpine Newt (Triturus alpestris), Fired Bellied Toad (Bombina bombina), Common Spadefood (Pelobates fuscus), Common Toad (Bufo bufo), European Tree Frog (Hyla arborea), Grass Frog (Rana temporaria) and Water Frogs (Rana synklepton esculenta). The determination was performed on the basis of morphologic characters and voice expressions. During the field research suitable reproductive habitats of particular species were studied with respect to numbers of specimens found there. Based on presented results, habitats valuable for protection mere marked. The records of particular species were written into maps of the species occurance.

Bulgaria and Romania: Economic Assessment of the EU Accession and Impact of the Global Financial Crisis
Kačmařík, Lukáš ; Abrhám, Josef (advisor) ; Bič, Josef (referee)
Bulgaria and Romania joined the European Union on January 1, 2007 and are so far the last countries to do so. Before this important step, both countries had undergone a long way of economic transformation from planned to free market economy. The transformation began in the early 1990s but so far it has not been finished. Compared to the other Central and Eastern European countries, Bulgaria and Romania still belong to the least developed ones, which is probably the most important reason why these countries did not join the EU in May 2004 together with other Central and Eastern European countries, but almost three years later, in January 2007. The thesis, however, focuses mainly on what happened after January 2007 and aims at analyzing the first years of Bulgaria and Romania in the enlarged European Union and discuss also possible effects of the upcoming economic and financial crisis on both countries. The subject matter of the thesis is divided into three main chapters, accompanied by introduction and summary of main conclusions. First part (Chapter 2) focuses in detail on the process of economic transformation in both countries, on the summarization of the pre-accession period and on the challenges both countries were facing at that time. Main focus here is on the home economy, foreign economic relations and home affairs including current political situation. Analysis of pre-accession negotiations with the EU focuses both on general issues and also on detailed monitoring of the whole process by the European Commission. Second part (Chapter 3) analyzes in detail the first years of Bulgaria and Romania in the EU. The chapter opens with analysis of nominal convergence and fulfillment of Maastricht criteria and continues with real and structural convergence, analysis of external balances and integration of product and financial markets. Labor mobility, structural aid, development of business environment and main challenges for both economies are discussed as well. Third part (Chapter 4) focuses on the latest development and shows the effects of the current economic and financial crisis on Bulgarian and Romanian economies. The chapter discusses development of short term economic indicators and tries to assess the actual impact of the crisis and macroeconomic development in 2009 and 2010. This is, however, extremely difficult due to persisting uncertainty and absence of robust economic predictions. The analysis thus suffers from unavailability of relevant and up-to-date information and economic data.

The enlargement of the Schengen area in 2007 with a view to the Czech Republic
Klemšová, Veronika ; Druláková, Radka (advisor) ; Dubský, Zbyněk (referee)
The diploma thesis aims to describe the enlargement of the Schengen area in 2007 with nine states that became members of the EU in 2004- without Cyprus. The great attention is paid to the Czech Republic. In the first chapter I explain the basic terms and mechanisms of the Schengen cooperation. The next chapter deals with the preparation course and the evaluation proces of the states preparing for the accession to the Schengen area. It was the Visegrad group (V4) which played a very important role during the preparation that is why I focused on the cooperation of this group in the third part of my diploma thesis. At the same time there is the visa harmonization cooperation within V4 mentioned there. The main part of the diploma thesis is the chapter called the Czech Republic and the Schengen area where I analyse a strategy and arrangements implemented in the Czech Republic. The enlargement of the Schengen area with nine new states was accomplished in 2007 thanks to consistent preparation of all countries that was verified by evaluation mission experts. The participation in the Schengen area has its positive and negative sides. The impacts of the Schengen enlargement and the problems rised after accession of nine states to the Schengen are more described in the last chapter.

Extension development for CMS Joomla!
Vojíř, Stanislav ; Nemrava, Jan (advisor) ; Kliegr, Tomáš (referee)
Writing of analytical reports in natural language is important, but not very simple. At this time, most of analytical reports are written in Microsoft Word and saved as classical files. The object of this bachelor thesis is the change to simpler writing of analytical reports in online application CMS Joomla!. To this functionality, we use some extensions of CMS Joomla!. After demands definition, we use an exitor-xtd plug-in and a component for CMS Joomla! 1.5. Using extensions, which were written in this thesis, authors of analytical reports are able to select part of dates from data mining application and insert this part to edited analytical report. The data source for including is xHTML presentation of data from data mining application. In this bachelor thesis, there are described information about dividing of xHTML document, part selection and including to the edited text. The secondary functionality of build extensions is updating of included blocks in selected analytical report. Users can select finished analytical report and update the included blocks with newer data. At the University of Economics, Prague, all students of informatics learn about fundamental data mining in the subject 4iz210 - Information and Knowledge Processing. In this subject, the students will use CMS Joomla! with extensions from this bachelor thesis. The start-up mounting will be at the end of summer semester in academically year 2008-2009. This bachelor thesis could be used as inspiration for extension development for CMS Joomla!, too.
