Borkovec, Martin ; Martiš, Miroslav (advisor) ; Karel, Karel (referee)
First part of diploma thesis outlines road transport, its development and social significance. It describes issues of road transport in relationship to environment and influence on human health. It further informs about process of assessment influences on environment (EIA) and about post-project analysis of influences to environment. Discusses goals and issues within these two interdependent processes.
Second part is focused on the city Pilsen itself and its constructed motorway bypass. It evaluates efficiency of applied measures moderating negativ impact of construction on evironment and human health. Further examines efficiency of motorway bypass, if it fulfilled its purpose. So, whether managed divert significant part of transport from motorway D5 outside city Pilsen. Other area of research is noise and emission ballast around previous motorway route through the city Pilsen.

Assesment of suitability of different propagation substrates and methods for Taxus x media and Magnolia 'Suzanne'
Petránková, Jana ; Tolar, Václav (advisor) ; Kofránková, Věra (referee)
his thesis is divided into two parts. Theoretical part, in which there is information obtained from literature, where I focused on plant propagation methods, describing the general řízkovaných species and their method of propagation, also gave describing the particular cultivar. Furthermore, the substrates, enhancers, their composition and use. Buildings used in horticulture, atomizing řízkovaných plants, or fungi.
The practical part evaluates the results obtained by performing an experiment in gardening Ornamental nursery Jasová.
The experiment was conducted in two consecutive years and in summer the proliferation of Magnolia'Susan' and winter multiplication Taxus x media'Hickii'.
It was assumed rozdílnos of rise products on two sites množárenských which was plastic greenhouse and glass, on each another at different substrate, in river sand and řízkovacím substrate.
The aim of the experiment was to find out what conditions they grow best propagated species.
The results are showed small differences between trials at Magnolia'Susan' results were significantly better substrate, which was probably caused by Trichoderma, which promotes rooting cuttings. The variant Magnolia cuttings in the sand and placed in a plastic greenhouse plants were dying due to lack of irrigation and high permeability of the sand.
Taxus was cuttings in winter and thus avoid Underwatering pulp prior to the formation of callus and roots. Therefore, this method has been successful, but the total amount ujmutých plants was lower than Magolia.

Local Political Coalitions in the Statutory City of České Budějovice
Valenta, Martin ; Čmejrek, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Markéta, Markéta (referee)
Municipal policy is quite a new discipline within political science, and especially in the Czech environment it has been an object of attention in recent two decades only. While political scientists abroad have dealt with municipal policy for a long time, in the Czech environment the research of local problems has been in the margin for years.
The subject of this dissertation is not focused on the research of the Czech municipal policy as a whole, but it is concerned with the research of the particular local political system in České Budějovice in recent 25 years. As the city is a large regional capital, there might be implied a certain link between municipal and national policies, which can be noticeable not only in the representation of individual parliamentary parties in the city council, but also in the process of creating individual post-election coalitions.
Methodically the present work is a kind of comparative study which is based on the theoretical conception applying to local democracy, participation of citizens in public life, party systems, an electoral process and forming of election and executive coalitions at a local political level.
In the practical part the degree work is based on the study and analysis of local authority documents of České Budějovice, the programmes of Czech traditional political parties and other parties which, in some cases, became parts of the local political system in České Budějovice. The practical part is also to a large extent based on comparison of election data from the Czech Statistical Office.

Strengthening in patients with nonspecific low back pain
Novák, Dalibor ; Tlapák, Petr (advisor) ; Čech, Zdeněk (referee)
In the present work we compare the effectiveness of therapy in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain (CNLBP) using classical analytical strengthening and strengthening program based on principles of physiotherapy techniques that focus on the stabilization of the spine and are used in the treatment CNLBP. The experiment included a total of 14 patients diagnosed with CNLBP who were divided into two groups (n = 7), each of who underwent a 12-week training either classical or physiotherapy conceived strengthening. As for the evaluated parameters, we chose the size and quality of pain (visual analogue scale and Short Form McGill Pain Questionnaire), restrictions in daily life in relation to LBP (Oswestry Disability Index); we tried to capture a change in the stabilizing muscle function by using a collection of tests according to Kolar (2006). The evaluation took place at the beginning and after the program and then at intervals of six months. The results showed that there was a statistically significant improvement in both groups in the monitored parameters. The difference in results in pain intensity and functional limitations in life when comparing the two groups showed statistically insignificant. Both the groups of patients improved their score in the evaluation of the stabilizing functions of...

Changes in gas exchange of selected genotypes of poppies depending on the influence by low temperature
Málek, Jan ; Hnilička, František (advisor) ; Orsák, Matyáš (referee)
The Czech republic is one of the biggest Opium poppy producers. In 2015, this plant was grown in an area of approx. 32 650 ha. Since the poppy is usually sown quite soon in the spring, it can be damaged (or negatively affected) by low temperatures. The main objective of this Bachelor thesis was to determine the speed of gas exchange in several poppy species affected by low temperatures.
In this research, altogether 12 various genotypes of Opium poppy (Papaver somniferum L.) were included in (development phase 35 BBCH). These were concretely following poppy species: CM 112, Sokol, Major, Opál, Florián, Albín, Postomi, Marianne, Budha, Lazur, Aplaus and Orbis. Under controlled conditions of a clima-box (Conviron), the plants were exposed (within 1 week) to daily temperatures of 10 °C and night temperatures of -5 °C. After one week, the night temperature was increased to 5 °C, while the daily temperature remained the same (i.e. 10 °C). In following two weeks, there was measured the photosynthesis- and transpiration- speed (using the infrared gas analysator LDpro+SD).
Base on measurements made, there was stated, that there could be noted quite big differences in photosynthesis- and transpiration- speed in particular poppy genotypes involved. This fact proves the existency of obvious differences in gas exchange speed of particular poppy species included in this research. Between the particular measurement terms, there could be also noted differences in photosynthesis- and transpiration speed, which proves the influence of low temperatures on photosynthesis- and transpiration speed.

Participants and their activities in local development (Mikroregion CHOPOS)
Slivanská, Jana ; Kocmánková Menšíková, Lucie (advisor) ; Boukalová, Kateřina (referee)
This thesis deals with participants of local development. The aim of the thesis was to find out activities of micro-region CHOPOS. This micro-region is an actor in local development and the aim of this thesis is to monitor its activities. The thesis is focused on finding out how local actors contribute to the development of the site in accordance with the principle of an endogenous approach to development.
The theoretical part defines terms related to the issue of regional development. The findings of a secondary analysis of projects micro-region CHOPOS shows that the highest total costs of the projects for the period 2001-2008 were in 2003 (7,903 419 CZK). Most projects implemented by LEADER for the period 2007-2013 and implemented by the municipality Postupice and Teplýšovice, both municipalities made two projects (Postupice 1,529,961 CZK and Teplýšovice 1,033,657 CZK). Teplýšovice realized the most of the projects for the period 2001-2008, a total of 21 (with a value of 6,857,826 CZK).
Evaluated data from semi-structured interviews with mayors of micro-region CHOPOS shows that all the mayors see nothing but benefits in membership in the micro-region. And all other municipalities consider as rather active. Actors considered the most successful project of lookout of Špulka. These interviews were also found reason for the subsequent entry into the union one of the municipalities. The reason was indecision of council.

Genetic Diversity of Semi-captive Population of Western Derby Eland (Taurotragus derbianus derbianus) in Senegal and Phylogenetical Relationships between Western Derby Eland (T. d. derbianus) and Eastern Giant Eland (T. d. gigas)
Zemanová, Hana ; Lukešová, Daniela (advisor) ; Jarmila, Jarmila (referee)
Representatives of family Bovidae are subjects of many studies concerning with their phylogeny, phylogeography, time of divergence or genetic diversity. Taxonomy is solved by comparison of morphological characteristics or by genetic approaches, genetic diversity could be solved by pedigree or by genetic analyses too. Tragelaphinae number nine species of two genera, Tragelaphus sp. and Taurotragus sp. The antelopes of the genus Taurotragus (T. derbianus and T. oryx) belong to the largest antelopes of the world. Derby eland (Taurotragus derbianus) has two subspecies, Western Derby eland (T. d. derbianus) and Eastern Giant eland (T. d. gigas), which are distinguished on the basis of morphological characteristics. Western subspecies (T. d. derbianus) is classified as critically endangered. There lives the only population in Niokolo Koba National Park in Senegal, which numbers fewer than 200 individuals. For the conservation, the semi-captive breeding programme has been established in 2000. It was created by six founders (one male and five females), which are presumed to be non-related. The population within this programme had 95 living individuals in 2013, living in seven herds in Bandia and Fathala reserves in Senegal. The population is under breeding management, which efforts to minimize kinship of the individuals. Studbook was established for the Western Derby eland (T. d. derbianus) in 2008 and is published annually. It acts about small population with low number of founders and no gene flow, which is threatened by inbreeding and genetic drift. Genetic diversity of the population was evaluated by means of microsatellite markers and the results were compared with the results of pedigree analysis. Pedigree analysis showed the highest genetic diversity in the generation of founders (FOUNDERS). It decreased in the generation of founders' offspring (OFFSPRING 1; born in season 2007/2008), due to the fact, that the only male took part in the reproduction. And it increased again in the generation of offspring of founders' offspring (OFFSPRING 2; born in the season 2009/2010), because more individuals were included into the reproduction. Fifteen individuals and five polymorphic microsatellite loci (from the total number of 13 tested loci) were chosen for the genetic study. The parameters of genetic diversity (HE and HO, Ar and deviations from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, and FIS and FST) were evaluated. Not any deviations from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium were found out. The results of genetic analysis confirmed the highest genetic diversity in the population of founders (Ar = 2.79; HE = 0.664; HO = 0.750; FIS = --0.154). In both generations of offspring values of allelic richness and observed and expected heterozygosity decreased (Ar = 2.15; HO = 0.580; HE = 0.586 in OFFSPRING 1 and Ar = 2.14; HO = 0.370; HE = 0.480 in OFFSPRING 2). Contrary to the results of pedigree analysis, there was not been observed any improvement in OFFSPRING 2. The resultant values of genetic diversity parameters were quite satisfactory, despite of the low number of founders and mating of related individuals.

The Evaluation of Reproduction in Bactrian Camels (Camelus bactrianus) and the Possibilities of Using Non-invasive Methods for Detection of Heat and Pregnancy
Fedorova, Tamara ; Lukešová, Daniela (advisor) ; Jiří, Jiří (referee)
Camels are important husbandry animals which are also often bred in zoological gardens. Unfortunately, camels in European zoos are not usually trained and pregnancy diagnosis in a half-tamed camel is very difficult. Moreover, information of the maternal behaviour of camels is limited. This thesis reviewed current knowledge on camel husbandry, reproduction and behaviour and aimed to 1) examine non-invasive methods of heat and pregnancy diagnosis from urine and saliva in camels kept in zoological gardens; 2) explore their maternal and suckling behaviour; 3) describe experiences with artificial rearing of camel calves. The research into non-invasive pregnancy diagnosis was carried out from 2010 to 2012. Urine from 14 camel females kept in four European zoological gardens was collected and tested using two chemical tests -- the Cuboni reaction and barium chloride test. The Cuboni reaction was significantly (p < 0.01) affected by the pregnancy status of female camels, and its accuracy increased significantly (p < 0.05) in the period leading up to parturition. The barium chloride test did not provide reliable results. Next, the saliva of five adult female camels was sampled for more than one year and concentrations of progesterone (P4) and oestradiol (E2) were measured. The concentrations of P4 (n = 312) and E2 (n = 310) were both significantly (p < 0.0001) affected by the pregnancy status of the animals. Maternal and suckling behaviour was observed from 2003 to 2009 in six zoological gardens, and the presented study includes partial data from this period. Allosuckling (i.e. when a female nurses a non-filial offspring) was described for the first time in camels and it represented 8.58% of all suckling bouts. The non-filial calves suckled more often in the lateral position and preferably joined the filial calf when suckling, so the results support the 'milk theft' hypothesis (stealing of milk) as a main cause of this behaviour. Finally, calf rearing in the Prague zoological garden was summarised and two camel calves were successfully artificially reared. This PhD thesis concluded that 1) the Cuboni reaction with urine and salivary P4 and E2 measurements are suitable methods for pregnancy diagnosis in half-tamed female camels; 2) allosuckling is relatively common in captive Bactrian camels; 3) the artificial rearing of camel calves with a calf milk replacer can be successful.

Effect of tapeworm (Hymenolepis diminuta) on bioaccumulation of zinc in the host (Rattus norvegicus)
Sloup, Vladislav ; Jankovská, Ivana (advisor)
This research investigates the ability of rat tapeworm (Hymenolepis diminuta) to accumulate zinc in tissue and the influence of its intake and excretion by its host (laboratory rat). The host was fed by food with zinc in two forms: 1) a mixture of standard food ST1 with hyperaccumulator plant Arabidopsis halleri, 2) ST1 mixture with zinc lactate, which is ordinarily used as a feed supplement for increasing zinc content and it is often included in human diet supplements. Rat control group fed by ST1 only was included in the experiment for verification of the difference. Rats were divided to six groups (OO, OT, RT, RO, MO a MT). Three rat groups were infected by rat tapeworm (OT, RT, MT) and three rat groups were not infected (OO, RO, MO). The control groups OO and OT were fed by ST1 only. RO and RT groups were fed by ST1 with admixture of Arabidopsis halleri and groups MO and MT were fed by ST1 with zinc lactate. Urine and excrements of the rats were collected twice a week during the experiment and their amounts were measured every day. The rats were weighted every week. At the end of the balance phase of the experiment rats were euthanized and seven selected tissues were removed (liver, kidney, spleen, small intestine, testis, muscle and bone). Rat tapeworm was removed from the infected rats. Blood was drawn from the rats. The results show that rat groups infected by the rat tapeworm had lower concentration of zinc in almost all analyzed tissues except for spleen, where the concentration of zinc was the same as in groups without the rat tapeworm. Based on the results the rat tapeworm also has an influence on the excretion of feces and urine.
