Britain in the European Communities under Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher
Šebík, Ondrej ; Lenčéš Chalániová, Daniela (advisor) ; Martinková, Viera (referee)
This thesis aims to determine whether Margaret Thatcher's European policy was ideologically consistent with conservativism. The record of the British Conservative Party on European policy is inconsistent. The party that initiated Brexit was the same party that integrated the United Kingdom into the European Communities under conservative prime ministers Heath, Thatcher and Major. The divergence begs the question of what conservative European policy really looks like. The thesis therefore first defines conservatism and what parameters will be used in the subsequent comparison. Subsequently, Thatcher's decisions, views and actions in the European Communities will be compared against these parameters. Although with minor derivations, the thesis concludes that Margaret Thatcher's European policy fulfils the definition of conservative.

Autumn Eurasian Crane (\kur{Grus grus}) migration passage across the Czech Republic with special focus on the south-west Bohemia region
MILLEROVÁ, Adéla
The common crane (Grus grus) is a migratory bird which was earlier considered as a rarely migrating kind in the Czech Republic. Currently here migrate up to several thousand individuals of common crane. Common cranes in Europe use two main migration routes - eastern and western. The eastern migration route runs from Finland and north-west of Russia through Hungary to northern Africa. The west migration route, which is also used by cranes nesting in the Czech Republic, runs from Norway, Sweden and Finland through Germany and France to Spain. During the migration, cranes stop at a gathering point where they have a rest and search for food. One of the best-known gathering points of common cranes is located in Hungarian national park Hortobágy. Phenology of migration is generally influenced by a broad spectrum of factors. In the last decade distinct changes of migration behaviour of this kind have been recorded. It probably comes to interconnection between eastern and western migration routes. A part of common cranes deviates from the eastern migration route, and at the same time migrates through the Czech Republic and connects to the western migration route. The aim of this work was to work out an overview of phenology of migration and to analyse available data on the migration of cranes in Southwestern Bohemia and adjoining areas (Bavaria, Upper Austria). The results show that it comes to increase in numbers of observed individuals of cranes in Southwestern Bohemia. When migrating through our territory, the cranes mostly prefer north-western flight direction. These results show that it probably comes to interconnecting of the eastern and western migration route. The average date of cranes passing through our territory over the years 2010 to 2019 has not changed demonstrably. The average daily temperature had a marginally significant effect on the passage of individuals of common cranes through our territory. The number of individuals passing through our territory between the census dates in the Hortobágy national park was demonstrably influenced by the date (period) of the passage.

Distribution and abundance of wintering and breeding population of Mute Swan (\kur{Cygnus olor}) in the South Bohemia region
HNÍDKOVÁ, Lucie
This work evaluates quantity of the mute swan (Cygnus olor) in wintering grounds and nesting sites in southern Bohemia. The mute swan became the target species of the JOK 2020 Bird of the Year campaign. The aim of mapping the mute swan population in 2020 was to identify as much of its South Bohemian nesting and wintering population as possible. The census followed similar projects from previous years and it took place in a total of four terms. The most important of them was the third term, which involved the nesting and leading of the young swans. A total of 1358 locations were inspected. In the first term, i.e., during the count in wintering grounds, 387 swans were recorded in 184 locations. During nesting, i.e., in the second and third terms, a total of 1230 locations were inspected, of which 368 (29.92 %) were occupied. There were 162 nesting pairs in 159 locations. In the third term separately, a total of 1003 locations were inspected, 1563 individuals at 221 locations were recorded, 96 pairs with a total of 434 young were present. During the August after-nesting count, 666 locations were inspected, and 1284 swans were recorded at 122 locations. Nesting swans most often occurred in habitats with vegetation area over 25 %.

Simulation of an ARM Processor for the Education of Programming in Assembler
Ondryáš, Ondřej ; Goldmann, Tomáš (referee) ; Orság, Filip (advisor)
This thesis aims to implement a didactic tool for simulation of an Arm-based processor integrated into the Visual Studio Code editor. The tool facilitates learning about the machine-level programming of these processors. It implements a service that provides an assembler and a simulator for the A32 instruction set. The service is built using the Unicorn emulation framework and other open-source tools. The editor extension uses the service to add support for the development and debugging of programs written in the assembly language. It shows descriptions of used instructions and helps the programmer understand their function. When debugging, it enables stepping through the code and provides various views of the state of the simulated processor, its registers and memory. The solution can be used in the Advanced Assembly Languages course at FIT BUT. It could be further improved in the future to support other architectures and provide an easy learning environment in other courses related to machine-level programming.

Invasion of Phytophthora alni in Europe
Pecka, Štěpán ; Černý, Karel (advisor) ; Kolařík, Miroslav (referee)
Species complex Phytophthora alni s. l. (Peronosporomycetes: Stramenopila) is a group of invasive pathogens of alder trees. It spreads mainly via water and causes root and collar rot often resulting in the death of attacked trees. Especially in riparian stands it often causes significant losses of alder and therefore remarcable changes of ecosystems and watercourses. The species complex is very polymorphic and divided into three species - P. ×alni, P. uniformis and P. ×multiformis. The most widespread in Europe and in the Czech Republic is the P. ×alni species. The aim of this thesis is to summarize information about P. alni complex (and especially of the most important taxon P. ×alni), to describe history of its spread and development of its area in Europe, genetic variability and inner structure of its populations, ecology and pathways of spread and, based of the known results, decribe the current situation of the invasion. Key words: Phytophthora alni, Peronosporomycetes, Alnus, pathogen, hybridization, area, riparian stands

Specificities of the HIV / AIDS spread in the European Union countries
Plháková, Johana ; Kučera, Tomáš (advisor) ; Gorka, Anna (referee)
Specifities of the HIV/AIDS spread in the European Union countries Abstract The bachelor thesis describes the spread of HIV and AIDS in the European Union. The first part provides an overview of important documents that are shaping a strategy for fighting against HIV and AIDS in the European Union. The thesis provides in the following part a brief history of HIV and AIDS, modes of transmission and treatment. The main part gives an overview of the situation in the European Union in the years 1985-2013. There is drawn up analysis for each country of the situation in this period. The situation is mapped by indicators of mortality and incidence. The analytical part of the thesis is handled by using cluster analysis for comparison between states. Through this analysis is offered a list of comparison waveforms incidence of HIV/AIDS. Keywords: HIV, AIDS, spread, European Union

Evaluation of cytotype and morphological variability and hybridization rate in water-milfoils (Myriophyllum) in the Czech Republic and adjacent territories
Hrdinová, Magdalena ; Trávníček, Pavel (advisor) ; Koutecký, Petr (referee)
Myriophyllum L. (watermilfoil) belongs to one of the most invasive genus of the Northern Hemisphere. The three most agressive species, one of which is native to Europe (M. spicatum), are widespread throughout the majority of United states and two of them (M. aquaticum and M. heterophyllum) are becoming invasive in several Europaean countries as well. Therefore, Europaean populations of both native and invasive species, represents ideal place where to study processes which account for watermilfoils' invasivness. In this study, flow cytometry, morphometric analyses and germination experiments were employed to evaluate cytotype and morphological variability of Myriophyllum along with its potential to hybridize and propagate generatively. Five ploidy levels were detected in Europe, however no ploidy variability has been found within any species except for M. sibiricum (hexaploids and nonaploids) and one population of M. aquaticum (hexaploids and oktoploids). Flow cytometry proved to be useful tool for purposes of distinguishing species of different ploidy level and their potential hybrids. Nevertheless, the key species - M. sibiricum and M. spicatum - among which probably even more aggressive hybrids were recently identified, have similar hexaploid level. Thus flow cytometry cannot facilitate...

Biology of gall wasps (Diplolepis spp.) (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) in palearctic region
Vitáček, Jakub ; Janšta, Petr (advisor) ; Holý, Kamil (referee)
This bachelor thesis is focussed on description of biology of gall wasps from the genus Diplolepis spp. (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) in the palearctic region with the emphasis on some interesting phenomenons in their life cycle. These wasps induce galls obligatory on roses (Rosa spp.) and are widely distributed in the holarctic region. Many authors focussed on research of parasitoids, which use wasps larvae as food source. It was also recognized that inquilines lost their ability to induce own galls. However, their development is still dependent on galls tissues, because they feed on cells within galls. Rose gall wasps reproduce mostly without any mating. Female lay unfertilized eggs and males are very rare. Recently, development of modern techniques enable authors to study infection by bacteria of the genus Wolbachia and its role in the wasps parthenogenetic development. It is also apparent difference between the levels of our knowledge about individual species in this bachelor thesis. We have relative rich knowledges about European rose gall wasps, on the other hand biology of some Asian species is still very poor.

IMAP extension for mobile devices
Kundrát, Jan ; Peterka, Jiří (advisor) ; Spousta, Miroslav (referee)
With the mass availability of smartphones, mobile access to e-mail is gaining importance. Over the years, the IMAP protocol has been extended with many features ranging from extensions adding new functionality to those improving efficiency over an unreliable network. This thesis evaluates the available extensions based on their suitability for use in the context of a mobile client. Three new extensions have been developed, each improving the protocol in a distinct way. The thesis also discusses how most of these extensions were implemented in Trojitá, the author's free software open source IMAP e-mail client.
