Potential of the European Neighbourhood Policy for EU energy security
Fráně, Luděk ; Dubský, Zbyněk (advisor) ; Sršeň, Radim (referee)
Relations between the EU and its neighbour countries and regions are very important for either side. One of the topics which joins them is the energy resource issue. Daily, millions of barrels of oil and billions of cubic meter of natural gas flow through this area into Europe. This diploma thesis deals exactly with this matter, e.i. European Union's energy security. It is a very topical, discussed but above all for the EU important theme. The purpose of this thesis is to connect the conception of EU's energy security through the European Neighbourhood Policy, e.i. the policy which the EU has established to create stability and prosperity with the neighbour regions of North Africa, Near East, Eastern Europe and the Caucasus states. The outcome of this paper should be to evaluate the potential of the countries in the European neighbourhood and the potential of the neighbourhood policy for strengthening the EU security policy, that means to summarize the possibilities for effective co-operation in the field of energy and to say if this co-operation could strengthen European Union's energy security.

Removal of different species of phytoplankton by dissolved air flotation
Sukopová, Martina ; Mega, Jaroslav (referee) ; Dolejš, Petr (advisor)
The work evaluates the efficiency of dissolved air flotation (DAF) in removal of various kinds of phytoplankton. As absolutely necessary in the process of water treatment proved the agglomeration phase, or coagulation and floculation. This phase neutralizes the particles so that they can fasten air bubbles. The efficiency of this process depends on several variables, though: the kind of coagulant used, dose, coagulation pH, duration of floculation and its intensity, recycle ratio and the polymer use in coagulation. The particle size volume distribution and the volume of organic matter in raw water also have certain influence on phytoplankton removal. Dissolved air flotation is currently the most suitable method of phytoplankton removal. It can remove 93-98 % of blue-green algae and even 99-99.9 % of algae. The efficiency of flotation was also compared to sedimentation for the economic reason. In the process of water treatment, the sedimentation is now being replaced by flotation.

Design of an Information System Part for Project Management Support
Horák, Adam ; Stašík, Peter (referee) ; Neuwirth, Bernard (advisor)
This bachelor thesis is aimed at improving the information system of INTERDEKOR s.r.o. based in Horní Těrlicko. The main focus is laid on the ways of easing the process of order evidence that is done by projectants. Firstly, I will get familiar with the TurboCad project environment. Secondly, I will suggest changes that should result in saving the time projectants spend on administrative matters. The above-mentioned changes might enable them to focus fully on their primary work, which is project-making. Last but not the least, I will deal with simplifying the process of price bid creation. This simplification should shorten the time needed for accomplishing this task.

Vinanová stabiliácia vína procesom elektrodialýzy
Zvolenská, Ivana
Quality parameters of a product such as wine are a very objective matter. Potassium hydrogen tartrate is acomponent, which a customer without much knowledge of wine could negatively evaluate. The market offers a lot of variants for potassium hydrogen tartrate elimination, which includes electrodialysis. The aim of this work was to process 4 types of wines with the electrodialysis technique, of which at least 2 white and 2 red wines were preferentially unstable in terms of formation of potassium hydrogen crystals. These wines were processed by the electrodialysis laboratory machine EDR -- Z/10 which was from the MemBrain company. During the operation, the process parameters (electrical current, voltage, flow, volume, pH and conductivity of the individual hydraulic flow) were measured. The samples of wine processed by electrodialysis were analysed by the sensory technique, for the content of tartaric acid and potassium, and for the saturation temperature of potassium hydrogen tartrate. The work dealt with the relation between the level of demineralization of wine, by electrodialysis, and its organoleptic properties (color, smell, taste, harmony). Furthermore, the optimal level of electrodialysis demineralization of wine was determined. This was done to find a compromise between the increased stabilization of potassium hydrogen tartare in wine and thenegative impact of its prescenceon the sensorical characteristics of the wine. The results of the work were evaluated by using the program Statistica10.eng .

Variabilita obsahu silic kmínu kořenného ( Carum carvi,L.)
Urbánek, Jiří
The aim of the thesis was to prove the variability of the essence content by 36 evaluated samples (tribes) from the chosen new selection of caraway (Carum carvi L.). Caraway, its morphology, origin and spread was described in the literary part. It is followed by the summary of its most important use, its cultivating technology and the state of health was also described shortly. Next chapter devoted to the selection of apiaceae species with a view to caraway. Last two chapters describe plant essences and the content matters of caraway. The practical part gives an idea of individual samples (tribes), then the distillation with steam for finding of essence content and gas chromatography, which the analysis of limonene and carvone content was done, was described. The samples (tribes) number 25, 27, 34, 35 and 3 were evaluated as the best for the next selection from the standpoint of essence content and they had the right proportion of carvone to limonene.

The Graffiti Subculture. Primitive Street Expression.
SLAMKOVÁ, Petra
The work deals with the graffiti subculture in Czech Republic, concretely in České Budějovice. In the first part it introduces the term and history of graffiti. The main part is devoted to detailed description of the subculture: who is writer and crew which he paints with and how a young man start with graffiti and why. Next it describes relationship between subculture and society and how they interact with each other and how to defined themselves. Based on the Arnold van Genneps teory of rite of passage, the fourth chapter deals the issue of graffiti as a ritual. The following sub-theme is gender in graffiti subculture, because graffiti is not purely a matter of male. The subject of the last part is street art nad grafitti and art. Both isues are on the border of subculture and mainstream and partialy intervene in commerce.

Teaching of Atmospheric Sciences within Geography
Trtková, Jana ; Müller, Miloslav (advisor) ; Hátle, Jan (referee)
Teaching of atmospheric sciences within geography Abstract The concepts of meteorology and climatology have become increasingly sought-after by many people. Their popularity probably stems from everyday experience with weather and climate along with discussions about climate change and sustainable development, which all have an impact on our lives. This is also one of the main reasons why they should be included in the curricula of our educational institutions. This paper investigates the representation of climatology and meteorology in school curricula, describing the expected outcomes thereof. A survey was conducted, which implies that 78% of respondents do not include these disciplines in their curricula (SVP) and 48% are dissatisfied with the systems of RVP and SVP. The time scheduled for teaching of meteorological and climatological topics is eight hours on average. During these lessons teachers most often discuss the issues of greenhouse effect, atmosphere and ozone. The curriculum generally lacks a practical approach to the subject matter, which is essential for the skills and future lives of students. The next sections of the paper suggest several information sources that could potentially be used in education. The last part is devoted to dialectical aspects of education. It emphasizes the...

Customer Lifetime Value - Application to Banking Sector
Lajksnerová, Zuzana ; Krištoufek, Ladislav (advisor) ; Baxa, Jaromír (referee)
Master Thesis: Customer Lifetime Value - Application to Banking Sector Author: Zuzana Lajksnerová Abstract This thesis deals with the calculation of the customer life value for clients of second largest Czech commercial banks - Československá obchodní banka a.s.. The aim is to estimate the revenue each individual brings to the bank within the first year, two, four since creating a profile but also during the whole time he or she remains in their customer base. The first, theoretical part contains of structured overview of the modeling approach from available literature. In the second part, we develop two different models, which are subsequently applied on client data of 2.7 million ČSOB customers. The prediction takes into account both revenues from each product and probability that customer will use this product. For estimation of the two models we use several different econometric methods, thus linear regression, bootstrap, probit and multinomial logit. The results show that demographic data such as age and gender, as well as product related variables, greatly inuence the final level of value of customer. It is also shown that higher potential earnings are associated with men, people of working age and loyal customers.
