Návštěvnost v Krkonošském národním parku – ochota platit za kulturní ekosystémové služby a vliv pandemie Covid-19 na návštěvnost v parku
Krejčí, Tomáš
The thesis deals with the topic of willingness to pay for ecosystem services in the Krkonoše Mountains National Park. It also examines the impact of COVID measures on visitor numbers in this National Park. The aim of the thesis was to determine the potential willingness of visitors to the Krkonoše Mountains National Park to pay for entrance. A secondary aim of the thesis was to evaluate the effect of the Covid-19 measures on visitor numbers based on data from census facilities located in the National Park. A literature search method was used in the thesis to clarify the concept of ecosystem services, their valuation and payment for them, including the willingness-to-pay method. Quantitative research was used to fulfill the objective of the thesis in which data was collected from a questionnaire survey. The data was then compiled into contingency tables and interpreted using graphical displays. The most common amount that visitors are willing to pay to enter the National Park was found to be 50 CZK. Data from the census facilities showed that anti-Covid-19 measures that somehow restrict the movement of people have a negative effect on visitor numbers in the National Park.

Vývoj exportu zemědělských komodit Jihoafrické republiky
Sojáková, Kateřina
This diploma thesis deals with the analysis of agricultural commodity exports from South Africa. The theoretical part of the work is based on a search of literature and current articles that are relevant to the topic. South African agriculture is characterized here from the point of view of production and subsequently from the point of view of exports. Agrarian exports and their annual output are affected by a number of factors such as natural conditions, agricultural input prices, weather fluctuations, political instability in the world or a global pandemic. All the mentioned influences are explained in individual chapters. These determinants then form changes in the long-term trend in the value of exported goods, which is the focus of the analytical part of the work. The agricultural nature of the work is thus connected with the statistical analysis. In the analytical part, a time series method is developed, which captures and explains the relationships between trends and fluctuations.

Dopady epidemie COVID-19 na cestovní ruch na Bali pohledem obyvatel České republiky žijících na ostrově
Čutová, Jana
The bachelor's thesis deals with the effects of Covid-19 on society and tourism on the island of Bali. Based on the literature, the basic concepts of tourism, the Covid-19 pandemic, the characteristics of the selected area are explained and then the impacts of Covid-19 on tourism are identified from the point of view of the residents of the Czech Republic living in Bali. The aim of the work was to outline how the situation affected tourism and how it affected life on the island. The presented work depicts a decrease in foreign tourists and a significant increase in unemployment. Furthermore, the impacts are analyzed in terms of qualitative data obtained based on the results of semistructured interviews with Czech-speaking residents of the island of Bali. The obtained results show that the situation has greatly affected life in Bali in terms of the established government regulations, which have restricted movement in public places, suspended international and domestic tourism and closed public spaces. The implemented measures subsequently led to the loss of employment and previous income. Based on the chosen method, it is evaluated that the negative effects of the Covid-19 pandemic have significantly affected tourism and strongly affected the economic and socio-economic sphere.

Pandemics and parental beliefs about returns to education
Korbel, Václav
This study summarises the findings of an empirical survey of the impacts that interruptions to in-person teaching in schools had on parents’ expectations about the returns to their financial and time investments in their children’s education. The study made use of four repeated questionnaire surveys carried out during 2020 and 2021, in which parents responded to hypothetical scenarios involving two fictitious families who invest different amounts of time and money in their children’s education. On the basis of these scenarios, the parents estimated how much each fictitious child would earn at the age of 30, taking into account the given level of investment in their education. They also estimated how much the quality of the child’s schooling would impact their future earnings. This experimental methodology enables us to identify how parents’ expectations changed during the pandemic.\n

Automated preparation of anti-COVID magnetic immunosorbent
Křížová, Lucie ; Svobodová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Smělá, Denisa (referee)
The target of the diploma thesis is the automation of the manual preparation of anti-COVID-19 magnetic immunosorbent. The theoretical part of the work is focused on the research processing of information about the SARS-CoV-2 virus causing the disease COVID-19. The basic characteristics of the disease, its causative agent, clinical picture, methods for detecting the SARS-CoV-2 virus in the human body, and treatment are described here. Furthermore, the principle of the LIS method is described here and the methods of its use in other areas of analysis are described here. The experimental part describes how the manually demanding batch method for antibody immobilization on magnetic particles was converted to an automated method in the Lab-In-Syringe (LIS) system. To convert the batch method to LIS, a series of experiments, optimizations, and searches for analogies were carried out to fully automate the method with minimal operator involvement. Using the device, we prepared anti-COVID-19 immunosorbents, which were subsequently tested using the PCR method on patient samples in the laboratory of the University of Pardubice with BSL 3 protection Keywords: COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, magnetic particles, Lab-In-Syringe, LIS

Sekera, Jan Carlos
Sexually transmitted infections are among the diseases that are showing an increase and pose significant health problems, especially among the young population. They directly impact sexual reproductive health through stigma, infertility, cancer and pregnancy complications and can increase the risk of HIV.

It seeks to supplement the missing data on this group of diseases and thus contribute by analysis to a better understanding of the development and current state in the Czech Republic. The work is conceived as a set of articles. Within the dissertation, the author introduces the context of his professional focus within the field of knowledge through published studies. The published studies that make up this dissertation focused on four critical areas of the issue of sexually transmitted infections: health literacy, socio-demographic analysis of injecting drug users, HIV testing at the time of the pandemic and regional differences The first set of included papers analysed HIV/AIDS health literacy levels. Knowledge of inequalities in health literacy is a crucial prerequisite for applying preventive measures. The second of the enrolled studies focused on analysing sexually transmitted...
