The assessment of equine housing systems in terms of welfare
Morávková, Kateřina ; Hofmanová, Barbora (advisor) ; Majzlík, Ivan (referee)
Nowadays, the conditions of animals' breeding are better than they were in the past and bigger emphasis i sput on their compliance and improvement. To secure/provide a good welfare is not an easy task for the breeders. Generally, we know how good welfare should look like, but we do not know, if the animal is satisfied. Various studies and experiments of good and bad life conditions appear. On the other hand, there still are lots of things about the welfare topics, which could be discovered and explored. Other question is, if a bad welfare has something common with animals' cruelty, or does not. One of categories, which is welfare focused on is stablig. When horse breeding and stabling, we should consider their native lifestyle and behaviour. We should do this, if we want to secure a good welfare. In many of cases there is a problem, because as it has been said, there is no strict rule, what is a good and bad welfare. Some horses can be satisfied in a box, and the other can feel bad in the box -- they can have depression and they will feel best when they are out with other horses. Every system and style of stabling has its pluses and minuses. Some of the systems seem to be less suitable for horses, but it depends on the horses' character. But horses do not chooses their kind of stabling, it is choosen by the breeder. The stabling has been solved for centuries, and it must have been solved in the past, it is in the peresent, and it will be in the future. But we still come with new and improved ways of stabling. A modern guy can not imagine, that nowadays stabling should be the same as it was in the past. Today, we do not know, if this way of stabling was found as a good type of welfare and if horses were satisfied with it. It is a question, if better welfare is a box stabling or a styling out. For working horses the best stabling is the lashing one, where horses work in a wood and they want a lot of relax -- through this kind of stabling the rest can be enabled. But according to the law foals can not be roped. To stable the horse with the rope for 22 is a breach of a welfare. So we must alway take the reasons of stabling into consideration and if an exgerrated care about stabling does not verge on a horse's satisfaction. Through the behaviour and understading the horses a guy should be able to recognize, if the horse is fully satisfied and the welfare is arranged in the best way. It should be a reward for the breeders, if the horse has the good lifestyle.

Monitoring of ungulates during individual hunts and efficiency of this practise in hunting areas Blatno and Jesenice
Kučerová, Lenka ; Kušta, Tomáš (advisor) ; Divišová, Michaela (referee)
The aim of bachelor thesis was to evaluate the activity of ungulates, especially roe deer, wild boar and sika deer, depending on abiotic effects that influence these species every day. The observation was conducted in hunting grounds Blatno and Jesenice Kosobody in the time range of 4 years. During this monitoring period 359 of blind hunts were permformed, with the hunting succes in total of 57 individuals in both of the hunting grounds. The results suggest that neither temperature nor the cloudiness affected the game activity. The game activity is influenced mainly by its behaviour, which is among others related to the human presence.

Price Disparity Of Bioproducts And Their Substitutes
Řeháková, Julie ; Toth, Štefan (advisor) ; Pavel, Pavel (referee)
This bachelor thesis is devoted the differences of perception of organic food and organic products customer. The thesis analyzes theoretical concepts relating to organic food on the Czech market and the concepts relating to consumer behavior. It includes market research on consumer behavior trough a questionnaires. The results of online research are formulated graphically and verbally, and the results show that current customers can buy organic food, but the price increase would mean a big drop of customers.

Analysis of consumer behaviour in the marekt with organic food
Smažíková, Kristýna ; Čechura, Lukáš (advisor) ; Hálová, Pavlína (referee)
The bachelor thesis analyses consumer behaviour in the market with organic food. The theoretical part is focused on the introduction of the consumer theory and it also deals with organic farming and organic food. The practical part of the thesis analyses the results of a survey, which had aim to find out the motives and reasons leading consumers to buy organic food, how much consumers are spending on organic food, where is the organic food mostly purchased and its aim was also to find out the reasons why people do not buy organic food. The analysis of consumer behaviour in the market with organic food shows that the consumers do not trust in the quality and labelling the organic food and they are not enough informed.

Some differences in the biology and behavior of the species eastern gorilla (Gorilla beringei) and western gorilla (Gorilla gorilla)
Kotýnková, Nicola ; Kracíková, Olga (advisor) ; Tománek, Pavel (referee)
Genus Gorilla is divided into two species includes four subspecies and one subspecies unrecognized.
Gorillas are the largest living apes and and eight million years ago, as a line, they separated themselves from family Hominidae.
These populations are found in nine African countries and they are separated by forest Congo.
Their most developer sense is vision. The body is adapted for knuckle-walking and their limbs are adapted to grip, with moveable arms and long arms. They have a mighty body with a robust skull and teeth with bumps for processing a hard food.
Gorillas excel significant sexual dimorphism, which is characterized by variously sized body.
Thanks reproduction arises extensive diversity within species in different strategies that help increase fitness. Dominant males mate with sexually mature females, while males with lower status mate with younger females because they are not fertile yet. Compared to that family groups have only one silverback male with which the female mate.
There are substantial differences in eating habits between gorillas. Dietary differences between species and subspecies are caused mainly by food availability. Gorillas are considered for herbivorous and frugivorous animals.
Gorilla groups are polygenic. With one dominant silverback male a few females and their descendants, they form a cohesive group.
They create nest for sleeping every night which different in location and stage of construction.
They communicate with each other through the auditory, visual and chemical signals. They use approximately 102 types of gestures and 17 types of audio signals to communicate.
In wild gorillas using tools is scarce, therefore mainly used to get food from difficult sources most of its body. While gorillas in captivity use tools successfully.
To protect against predators, the female consort with males who protect them.

Longterm analysis of beaver foraging - Do beavers sawing off the branch on which they are sitting?
Bartoň, Marian ; Vorel, Aleš (advisor) ; Jarmila, Jarmila (referee)
This thesis is focused on the analysis of eurasian beavers foraging behaviour and their strategy of getting food in the long-term perspective.
First part (theoretical) of the thesis contains an explanation of the theory of the central place foraging, animal selective behaviour when food is selected and central place foraging influence on trees fertility. In this part is also mentioned the predation risk or how does the beaver perceives competitive pressure from other animals, and factors that can cause the change in population density of beaver colonies. The objective of this work is to determine the effect of long-term beaver populating on the volume of comsumed biomass and expanse of the territory, and a comparison of these results with one another in terms of different times of occupated territories.
The second part describes the methodical procedure of the field survey. Data I collected from the areas of Šumava, Český les and South Moravia. I tried to find out, how the beaver´s foraging behaviour is induced depending on time inhabiting the territory and on increasing distance from the shore. This research shows that the beaver trips for food increases with age of occupation in 7-10 years and then the distance of tree cuts declined again from the shore. The volume of consumed biomass in reliance of increasing time of beaver occupation also decline and the most favoured tree species was an oak tree for which beavers were willing to walk long distances. The results of the simple analysis are presented as a measurement for both the entire region and also for each territory.

Current risk management at secondary vocational schools - effect of the decline of students in secondary vocational schools and vocational schools in Prague
Tuška, Pavel ; Trojan, Václav (advisor) ; Kitzberger, Jindřich (referee)
TITLE: The current risk management at secondary vocational schools - effect of the decline of students in secondary vocational schools and vocational schools in Prague. AUTHOR: Bc. Pavel Tuška DEPARTMENT: The Centre of the educational management SUPERVISOR: RNDr. Jana Marková ABSTRACT: The prosperity of every secondary vocational school and vocational school is primarily based on the demand for their service which also depends on the behaviour of the school in times of crisis. The rapid demographic decline of students entering secondary education nowadays significantly affects operation of all secondary schools in the Czech Republic. Prague secondary vocational schools and vocational schools have to deal with the massive loss of interest in studying these schools. The aim of this master's paper is therefore an effort to characterize the potential impacts of the crisis on these education organizations. At the same times it tries to outline possible activities to reduce the risk of vocational schools in Prague business failure. Each Prague secondary vocational school or vocational school, however, is an organization totally unique, and therefore it must always be based also on the specific conditions applicable to the school. KEYWORDS: Secondary vocational schools, vocational schools, reducing the number of...

Dvořák, Stanislav ; Kopřiva, Radek (advisor) ; Lenka, Lenka (referee)
The thesis analyses the elections and electoral behaviour of the citizens of the town Volary in the period from 1996 to 2014. The behaviour of the voters was studied not only from the election results of the municipal elections but parliamentary elections as well. Several theoretical propositions, including the consistency of the voters' social status were verified. Moreover the work describes the differences of electoral behaviour based on the division into various socioeconomic groups in connection with the left and the right wing of the political spectre. Furthermore the work reviews the theory whether the local voters tend to the left or right values and deals with the stability or instability of their electoral behaviour.
