Drvot's Educational Footpath - the Project of Reconstruction and Usage in Biology Education
Netušilová, Michala ; Řezníček, Jan (referee) ; Ziegler, Václav (advisor)
The theme of this thesis is the project for reconstruction of the historical and biological Drvot's Educational Footpath which goes through the stream-basin of middle 'Kačák' in the surrounding of 'Záplavy*, the nature reserve in the Kladno region. Theoretical part contains the geomorphology description of Kladno area, as well as the geology of Kladno district in relation to the past coal mining activity, relevant environmental protection directives, historical development of this educational footpath and the content summary of the current informative boards. In addition the theoretical part includes the list presenting the status of birds currently nesting in or moving through this particular ornithological locality 'Malé a Velké Záplavy'. Practical part of this thesis includes concepts of new educational boards for Drvot's Educational Footpath that are focused more on biological matters and carried out by modem and attractive way in comparison to the old ones. The attractivity and great accessibility of this locality offers a unique opportunity for its educational usage. In particular for excursions from both nearby village schools and schools from Kladno and other cities. This is also the reason for including the drafts of working sheets with author's answers in this thesis.

U.S. Homeland Security: Reality or Myth? Domestic counterterrorism post-9/11
Bernardyová, Alžběta ; Raška, Francis (advisor) ; Anděl, Petr (referee)
Diploma thesis "U.S. Homeland Security: Reality or Myth? Domestic Counterterrorism post-9/11" examines the change in U.S. domestic counterterrorism policy after the terrorist attacks of 9/11. More specifically, it focuses on the U.S. government's reorganization, which led to the creation of the Department of Homeland Security. As outlined in this thesis, the homeland security agenda was aimed at unifying the U.S. efforts to prevent terrorist attacks within the United States, reducing America's vulnerability to terrorism, and minimizing the damage and recovering from attacks that do occur. This thesis sets out to answer two interconnected questions: (1) whether the proposed homeland security agenda led to an efficient and unified system of U.S. domestic counterterrorism measures based on enhanced information sharing; and (2) why, in spite of the unique opportunity created by the 9/11 attacks, a comprehensive reorganization of the U.S. government to create a coherent homeland security agenda did not materialize. Throughout this thesis, it is argued that an efficient U.S. government reorganization was obstructed by three main factors. First, the change was obstructed by the organizational nature of the government agencies. Second, the reorganization was hindered by the "rational choices" of the U.S....

FTTx networks
Hradílek, Pavel ; Reichert, Pavel (referee) ; Filka, Miloslav (advisor)
The aim of this thesis is to clarify the issue of optical access networks, and to acquaint the reader with problems of their design and implementation. The introductory chapter describes the technologies and topologies, which are the most experienced in dealing with optical access network. There are a comparison of their basic parameters and limiting factors. Another part of the work is dedicated to progressive methods of construction such as microtubes and solution using the hanging cables, which due to the efficiency of construction, rapidity, economic and facilitate implementation. In conclusion the theoretical part there is issues of measurement. It describes a Optical Loss Test Set, OTDR method and method of measuring dispersion. Increasing demands on the capacity of the transmission paths, and their quality are caused of monitoring optical access networks, which can evaluate the failure on a route, target problems and inform service. The practical part compares EPON and GPON. In program OptiSystem was created model which these technologies are evaluated in terms of performance parameters, noise, jitter and eye diagram quality. The common feature of technology is transmission TDM frames, where EPON uses Ethernet and GPON technologies ATM. The outcome of simulation don´t show which technology is better, but result shows the conditions of the proposal of these technologies. At the end of work there are created several models for solving the optical access network with pricing per user. The most developed technology is FTTB in urban areas, when transmission in last mile uses copper circuit. This solution causing a rapid return on investment. Other technologies such as point-to-point FTTH or PON are implemented as individual proposals. Each of these solutions has advantages and disadvantages, so each project is unique and the solution is dependent on the project site and the requirements of customers.

Konekcionistický model episodické paměti pro virtuální lidi
Burkert, Ondřej ; Kadlec, Rudolf (referee) ; Brom, Cyril (advisor)
The goal of this work is to design and implement a prototype of the episodic memory for virtual humans. The memory is inspired by up to date research on function of human memory for personal events (episodes) and human time perception. We design a model of memory based on this theoretical knowledge. We took as the point of departure episodic memory system and decision making system of Peskova. The decision making system is based on the BDI, theory of affordances and AND-OR trees. The former episodic memory suffered deficiencies in the recall for time-cued questions. Thus proposed model is working with a unique subsystem for the time perception which allows for more realistic storage and recall of past events. The agent enhanced by this model can reply to questions like "What did you do last week afternoons?". The prototype is programmed in Java using the framework Pogamut 2. Pogamut 2 is connected to the complex continuous 3D world of Unreal Tournament 2004 which allows us to verify the design in the challenging environment. We have conducted several experiments. The results show that the model extends agents cognitive abilities with a capability to understand socially established temporal patterns. That allows him to answer to the questions with a vaguely specified time information. Moreover, the memory...

Common Agricultural Policy of the European Union on the Market with Milk and Dairy Products
Šimková, Petra ; Lipka, David (advisor) ; Koblovský, Petr (referee)
The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) was created in 1958 as one of the first policies of the European Economic Community. It is, however, also one of the most problematic ones. In this thesis I first address its creation, principles and targets. Then I describe reforms which had the goal of reducing some of the costs imposed by this policy on the society. As the main part of the thesis is devoted to the Czech farmers producing milk, I sum up the development of the Czech agricultural sector and in a great detail describe the regulation and subsidies connected with the production of milk and milk products. Using a simple microeconomic model, I analyze impact of various instruments of the CAP on domestic and foreign producers and consumers. In spite of many reforms, the biggest beneficiaries of the CAP are still the big producers of agricultural products -- support of small farmers is very limited. The costs of the CAP are born mainly by poor consumers and agricultural producers from non-EU countries. With a unique dataset obtained from the Czech State Agricultural Intervention Fund I describe the structure of subsidies utilized by Czech milk producers and its development in the period 2005--2008. Even though a substantial inequality in subsidy incomes is also evident among Czech milk quota holders, it is smaller than in the case of all farmers.

Gender Studies na VŠE (aneb Ženy v ekonomii vs. typ osobnosti)
Naglová, Vendula ; Bartoň, Petr (advisor) ; Hudík, Marek (referee)
The main aim of this thesis was answering the question, if lack of women in the economics is caused by discrimination or if personality type affects successful passing of advance economic courses. Myers-Briggs Personality Type Indicator (MBTI) was used for purposes of this thesis as the most convenient personality type indicator. This thesis tested several hypotheses resulting from expected correlation between personality type, gender (both for students and teachers) and final results. Paper showed correlation between gender and final result and also between some personality types and grade. Paper also disclosed interesting correlations between final grade and other variables unique for testing system at the University of Economics, Prague.

The polymorphism of sericin 2 gene in silkworm (Bombyx mori)
TYLLEROVÁ, Helena
In our study, we examined the polymorphism of gene Ser2 from domesticated silkmoth Bombyx mori and its closest wild relative B. mandarina. As a starting material for our work, we used the restriction map of allele C isolated from hybrid lineages 200 and 300 of European silkmoth B. mori (Michaille et al. 1990a). We also used the published sequence of allele D which was isolated from {\clq}qDaizo`` p50 strain of B. mori (Kludkiewicz et al 2009). Based on the published sequence, we designed PCR primers and performed sequence analysis of 4 different alleles of gene Ser2, including the almost complete genomic sequence of allele C (except for two short regions containing repetitive DNA). We then compared the sequences and found that the alleles differ significantly not only in intron lengths and the sizes of exon 9, but also in exon arrangements. While the allele C contains 12 exons (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8a, 9, 10, 11, 8b), the alelle D and other alleles analysed have 13 exons (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9a, 10a, 9b, 10b, 11). Allele C showed very unique arrangement of exons, which suggested that it may represent an ancestral form of Ser2 gene. We analysed the arrangment of exons located at the 3´end of the Ser2 gene by PCR and electrophoresis in 70 available strains of B. mori and B. mandarina. We also tried to find a similar allele to the allele C and we amplified and sequenced 2 kb region from 55 Bombyx strains. Phyllogenetic analysis of gene Ser2 gene suggested that the C allele of now probably extinct European silkmoth hybrids 200 and 300 does not seem to be an ancestral form of Ser2 gene, but it rather seems to be the result of complex secondary rearrangements.

Effectivity of project Game again to AIDS
ŠÍMOVÁ, Michaela
Effectivenes of the Playing Against AIDS project The topic of my bachelor's thesis is the effectiveness of the "Playing Against AIDS" project. HIV/AIDS is one of the most serious diseases of today, and evokes feelings of fear among people. It is important to prevent the spreading of this disease through responsible behaviour, especially but not only in terms of sexual life. This is why I chose a topic concerning the prevention of this issue. The goal of my thesis was to summarise basic information about HIV/AIDS. I focussed on history and the current situation of HIV/AIDS, transmission routes, treatment and above all prevention. The "Playing Against AIDS" project devotes the greatest attention to prevention at elementary schools. The aim of the projet is to help youngsters graps the basic skills and knowledge about how the HIV virus is transmitted, thus pointing out its danger. The entire project is conducted in the form of a game. This unique method is highly effective, because all the students are involved in the game, are obliged to think about the issue and about their own attitudes and behaviour in potential risky situations. My objective was to map awareness about HIV/AIDS among pupils aged 12-14 years before and after participating in the "Playing Against AIDS" project. Research was conducted according to the axes for quantitative research using a questionnaire survey and secondary data analysis. The questionnaire was anonymous and consisted of six questions. I evaluated and compared the questionnaires, and determined that awareness among children about HIV/AIDS is fairly satisfactory, but not entirely sufficient. Prevention should be systematically promoted. One of the possible solutions is greater and better education not only among students, but for the public in general, and the expansion of lessons addressing this issue, as well as the active involvement of the entire pedagogical collectvive into the project.

Madonna of Most
Koziol, Pavel ; Hlaváčková, Jana Hana (advisor) ; Royt, Jan (referee)
Text on the topic of The Madonna of Most tries to prove possibilities of reading pictorial and symbolical meanings in the specific opportunity of the unique compositional example of an image modalities and its morphological construction. By the distinction of concrete mutual relations, which are intermediated in the structure of painting, the place of man in the front of the specific artifact of medieval culture. The text focused on autopsy aim to outline, if it is possible to extend current knowledge of this image and by its insertion into painting contexture of individual allusions to reach hardly available borders between verbal and non verbal aspects.
