Documentation of trees and shrubs of public garden "Hvezda" (Prague, Czech Republic)
Beranová, Zuzana ; Skalický, Milan (advisor) ; Martinková, Jaroslava (referee)
This bachelors thesis is focused on a brief characterization of Obora Hvězda (Star Game Reserve) and determination of tree species and measuring basic dendrometric values.
The first part is a literature research summarizing knowledge about Obora Hvězda, especially history and biology. History of Obora Hvězda is described since its origin in the 16th century. Emphasis is placed on the Star Summer Palace, which is a part of it. The study also discusses the fauna and flora of the area and, finally, evaluating the state of health of selected trees. The thesis is complemented by photographs and maps.
The second part focuses on the actual determination and measuring dendrometric values. In methodology there is described each step of measurement that had to be performed to determine all of the dendrometric values and also every tool that was used. The results include tables and graphs which are explained and commented upon in the discussion. The resume includes the evaluation of the overall condition of the trees in Obora Hvězda, especially the state of health and landscaping values.
The selected trees were first determined, then their coordinates were found by GPS Garmin Dakota 20 and marked on the map. Dendrometric values like tree girth and tree height were measured using 30m tape measure Cabrio Komelon and altimeter Nikon Laser 550A, crown width and height of deployment was also measured. During the research, the health state, physiological age and landscaping value of each tree was assessed. The photo documentation was done by the LG L90 device.
In the area of interest 50 trees, which can be classified into five plant families, were measured. The occurrence of Quercus petraea, Fagus sylvatica, Acer pseudoplatanus, Fraxinus excelsior, Betula pendula and Pinus nigra was confirmed. The most abundant is Quercus petraea, which is widely planted and covers the vast majority of Obora Hvězda. The fewest is of Fraxinus excelsior and Betula pendula. B. pendula should be gradually removed, since it is an aerochoric tree. The same can be said about non-native P. nigra, which was planted in the past and currently has a negative impact on the forest development. Most of the area of the natural monument occupy deciduous forests. Physiological age of most trees was marked by number 4, which stands for adult trees that are starting to show signs of growth stagnation. Adolescents (grade 3) were also present. Most of the trees were in good to excellent health condition. The results showed that in the area of interest there are not any trees in emergency or highly disturbed state. Most of the trees also show a high landscaping value, which means that in the area of interest we can find, with a few exceptions, trees of good quality. Occurrence of the valued species in Obora Hvězda was also confirmed by two previous studies, in 1986 and 2010.

Performance recording in Charollais herd in organic farming
Rechnerová, Martina ; Toušová, Renata (advisor) ; Jan, Jan (referee)
The goal of the thesis was an evaluation of the growth rate of calfs since their birth up until to the 365th day of their life, and reproductive performance in a selected group of the Charolais cattle. Data was gathered from the results of a utility-control carried out by a selected farm (UFARM spol. s.r.o.) from 2009 to 2014. This farm has been operating in an ecological system since 2007. A total of 806 calves has been evaluated. Several factors were selected (sex, lifespan, breed frequency, order of fertilizations, development of delivery, breeding technique, year and month of birth of the calves) that were supposed to prove the influence on the calves' growth rate. From the reproductive factors the meantime, during which was the year's development observed and breeding technique were selected.
Statistical programme SAS 9.3, procedures MEANS, UNIVARIATE, REG, CORR, STEPWISE and MIXED were used to obtain results.
From the results of statistical evaluation, it was possible to prove, that delivery development is affected by weight on the level of significance P < 0,001. The insignificant influence on the growth until the age of 120 days (P < 0,05), weight in 210 days (P < 0,05) and growth until the age of 210 days (P < 0,05) was interesting as well. After observing the influence of the fertilization order on the calf's growth developement, it is fair to state that the order of fertilization has a strong influence only on the calf's weight during delivery (P < 0,001). Birth weight varied strongly in all of the listed fertilization orders (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and higher) on the level of significance. Calfs born to a heifers weighed the least on average (43, 03 kg). On the contrary, the highest average weight of a newborn calves was observed by mothers that gave fourth (45, 68 kg), eighth and higher fertilization (45,69 kg).
The influence of sexual dimorphism on the development of all growth factors of calves is apparent from the results (weight and growth since birth to the 365th day of life) and benefits the males (bulls) with the level of sigficance P < 0,001. One year's influece has been proven on almost all of the calves' growth factors (weight and growth since birth to the age of 365 days) on the significance level P < 0,001. Further observation showed that year 2009 had no influence on weight in 120 days and growth up until 120 days. Years 2012 and 2013 had no influence on calves' weight at 365 days, as well as on growth at 365 days.
In 2014, on average highest, statistically proven values in all the monitored parameters. Furthermore, influence of the month, in which the calf was born, has been proven to have influence on weight at 210 days, growth at 210 days, growth (up to day 365) and weight at 365 days (P < 0,05). During further observation, statistically relevant differences depending on the month of birth have been recorded only in growth up to 210 days and in weight on day 365 (P < 0,05). The heaviest calves at the age of 365 were those born in March and, on the other hand, those born in April weighed the least. The chosen breeding technique influeced particularly the growth since birth (P < 0,01), weight at 210 days (P < 0,01) and growth until 210 days (P < 0,05). Less influenced is the weight at 120 days and growth up to 120 days of age. Except for the birth weight, the values of growth coefficients were higher in natural breeding. Analysis of results proved multiparity to be influetial on the calves' growth rate. Litter size influenced foremost the birth weight, weight at 120 and 210 days, and growth up to 120 days of age and 210 days of age on the significance level P < 0,01. A statistically less significant influence of the (litter size / breeding frequency) on the growth since birth and weight at 365 days was observed. All of the growth coefficients were higher in one offspring
(only child/calf).
The selected factors (calf's year of birth and fertilization method) had a statistically significant influence on the postpartum anestrus (P < 0,001). The duration of postpartum interval varied in all monitored years (2009/2014) on the significance level P < 0,01.
On average, the highest number of days had the postpartum interval in 2012 (379,60) and the least number of days had the 2009 postpartum interval (282,50). postpartum inverval duration is proven to be influenced by the breeding technique on the significance level P < 0,01.
Only in 2009 and in inseminated cows did the average length of the postpartum interval not meet the requirements set by breeding objective of the charoalais cattle.

Importance and possibilities of winter cereals utilization in organic farming
Valdmanová, Miroslava ; Capouchová, Ivana (advisor) ; Petr, Petr (referee)
Organic agriculture is not only a way how to produce food and feed raw materials in
friendly way , but also it has very important secondary and landscaping functions. Production
without chemical inputs into organic farming is very important, but in a broader sense it helps
this system to bring the landscape, to it is original and natural functions.
The most grown cereal in organic farming in CZ is common wheat., which in year
2014 reaches an average return 3,05 t.ha-1
, was grown on an area of 6 117 ha and structure of
the grain it took part 24 %. For winter crops after the decree takes for the following wheat,
triticale with the average yield 2,97 t.ha-1
in the year 2014 with area of 3 530 ha, it is in
aproximatelly 14% of the structure of grain crop in organic agriculture. Than rye followed by
achieved in 2014 the average yield of 2,90 t.ha-1
and area of grown 2 392 ha, it is structure of
the grain in organic agriculture less than 10%.
Monitoring and evalution of wider range of varieties of winter wheat in organic and
conventional agriculture has been pursued in the Research station of the Department of Crop
production in Prague - Uhříněves since 1994. The results of experiments can help ecological
farmers in better orientation in available varieties and to facilitate the selection of a suitable
variety for their needs. Parts this long term activities is also my diploma thesis.
As expected, in general cultivars of conventionals wals of growing reached higher
yields in our experiment - cultivars Tobak (B) - 11,6 t.ha-1
, Gordian (B) a Matylda (A) - the
same yield 11,0 t.ha-1
and the most low yield was in cultivars Bohemia (A) - 9,6 t.ha-1
, Annie
(E) a Cimrmanova raná (E) - both the same 9,8 t.ha-1
.
In ecological system was discover the most high yield in cultivars Gordian (B) - 9,5
t.ha-1
a Tobak (B) - 9,3 t.ha-1
, the most low than in cultivars Bohemia (A) - 8,0 t.ha-1
,
Cimrmanova raná (E) - 8,2 t.ha-1
a Annie (E) - 8,5 t.ha-1
. It is therefore clear, that in both
type of system of cultivation reached the most high and the most low amount of yield the
same cultivars. But is important to say , that good amount of results reached cultivars Evina
and Fabina too. Both are from quality group of E (mostly in ecological type of economy).
Cultivars which reached in our attempts the best results of yield, had the samet he best results
of healty test and on arganic area was no flattened.
The evaluation of quality indicators showed that the conventional method of
cultivation, the highest N-content in dry matter corn varieties Annie (E) - 13.8% and
Cimrman's early (E) - 13.2%; lowest then Seladon varieties (B) and Vanessa (C) - the two
identically 10.7%. The organic way of growing the highest content of N in dry matter corn
varieties observed in Cimrman's early (E) and Eve (E) - two identically 11.6% and
immediately behind Annie (E) - 11.5%. The lowest content of N in dry matter showed grain
varieties Tobak (B) and Vanessa (C) - the two identically 9.7%. In both systems, the
cultivation is evident in consistent trend of gradual reduction of N in dry matter from grain
varieties of quality Group E (elite) to a variety of quality Group C (other unsuitable for baking
process).
In case of Zeleny test achieved in the conventional system the highest values variety
Annie (E) - and 60.2 ml Cimrman's early (57.3 mL); then the lowest varieties Vanessa (C) -
25.3 ml and KWS Ozon (C) - 29.7 ml. The organic way of cultivation had recorded the
highest value Zeleny test for early varieties Cimrman (E) - 55.8 ml and Fabius (E) - 47.0 ml,
the lowest varieties KWS Ozon (C) - 24.7 ml and Vanessa (C ) - 19.0 ml. As in the case of N
content in dry matter-grains is also here in both systems growing trend decrease values SBV
test of quality varieties of groups E to a variety of quality group C.
In the event that organic farmers farmed in similar environmental conditions, such as
those on the Department of Crop production in Praha-Uhříněves and sought food quality
wheat, it would be him on the basis of our results, we recommended eg. a variety of Eve and
Fabius (both from a quality group E) which reached both good quality and satisfactory yields
of grain (in the case of a significant focus on quality and variety Annie and Cimrman's early -
both also quality group E). In the case of preference revenue would be recommended
varieties, some varieties of quality group B, for example. Gordian and Tobak.
The work was completed at the end of a brief comparison of the economy growing
wheat in organic and conventional systems. From this comparison came out better ecological
wheat (despite significantly lower revenues), mainly due to the significantly higher price,
a higher total subsidies and lower variable costs.

Influence hematological and biochemical parameters by different dogs.
Pechová, Eva ; Fučíková, Alena (advisor) ; Václav, Václav (referee)
The topic of this diploma work was to evaluate the hematological and biochemical indicators of various breeds of dogs. The aim of this work was to evaluate the blood samples taken
from 10 dogs and 10 bitches of various breeds and find out the dependency of values
in relation to their age, nutrition and sex. The samples were processed and evaluated from May to October 2015. The following was examined from the hematological indicators: RBC, HGB, HCT, MCV, WBC and a blood smear was made, from which a differential count
of leucocytes was made. Furthermore, the following biochemical indicators were examined: TP, GLU, CHOL and ATP. The literature research first focused on the basic components
of dog feed. Moreover, the hematological and biochemical indicators of blood as well as the methodology of the whole experiment were described. The results were processed with the aid of the RStudio program and the following basic statistical characteristics were counted: median, minimum, maximum and standard deviation. The ANOVA statistical method was used, in which the dependency of values among sex, age category and the type of feed fed
to the animals was determined. Furthermore, the values among the breeds were compared. From the differences observed among the breeds, there was an increase in red blood cells
in German Shepherds and Dobermans. Dobermans, Labrador Retrievers and German shepherd crossbreeds had increased values of ALT. Significant findings showed that there was an increase in the number of red blood cells and hematocrits in subjects fed with granulated feed as opposed to subjects with a combined diet. The difference was also observed for MCV between the genders.
Differences between the genders were found for ALT values. More data would be needed
to confirm the relationship to age. ALT values are dependent on the type of feed, where the values are higher in subjects fed with a completely granulated diet. The values of total protein increased in dogs with age. This trend is likely to be observed in bitches. For subjects fed a combined diet (granulated feed + home diet) an increase in the value of total protein was observed with age. For subjects fed granulated feed, this increase was not as significant.

Evaluation of static stiffness measurements of rail pads
Toman, Radim ; Dubský, Vladimír (referee) ; Hruzíková, Miroslava (advisor)
Rail pads are a part of rail fastening and have an important role for track strain. The main observed characteristics are a static stiffness and a dynamic stiffness of rail pad. At the moment there are two standards for determining static stiffness - the national document General technical conditions (Obecné technické podmínky - OTP) and the european norm ČSN EN 13 146-9. However, the metodology of static stiffness measuring is different. It means different values of rail pads static stiffness. In the OTP there are required values of static stiffneses for baseplate and baseplateless rail fastening. These requirements can't be applied on the static stiffness set by ČSN EN due to different measurement methodology. The aim of this thesis is to measure static stiffness of rail pads according to both methodologies and to check relation between the methodologies. The thesis proceeds from requirements of Správa železniční dopravní cesty - the national organization.

Identification of Value Determinants of the Mechanical Engineering Enterprises in the Czech Republic
Strnadová, Michala ; Hrvolová, Božena (referee) ; Koráb, Vojtěch (referee) ; Živělová, Iva (referee) ; Režňáková, Mária (advisor)
This doctoral thesis is focused on value based management. The basic principle of value based management states that the main object in an organization is value enhancement. Within an organization the concept of value based management connects activities and people participating in business processes to maintain that the resources the owners put into the business are evaluated. The essential task of value based management is to find and identify factors which contribute increasing performance and creating the value of a company, known as value drivers. The purpose of this thesis is to identify the factors which by significant amount affect the value of the mechanical engineering enterprises in the Czech Republic. In the first part of the thesis an analysis of current academic knowledge in area of value drivers is made. The base of the analysis is created by foreign resources because there is only limited amount of information in domestic literature. Besides the determination of value approach and its benefits attention is mainly paid to organizing results from value generators area. Findings of secondary resources analysis are used for own research problem. The second part of the thesis includes determination of the main objects and the research problem as well as formulation of the research questions and tested hypotheses. The third part is focused on describing methods which were used in the thesis. In the thesis was applied logical (induction – deduction, analysis – synthesis, generalization – concretaization) and empirical methods (comparsion method, quantitative research methods). Primary data was collected by using a questionnaire. Obtained data was analyzed using logarithmic decomposition of the return on equity, Boosted Trees and descriptive statistics (for example measures of location, measures of variability) and more statistical methods for analysis of statistical hypothesis (Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Lilliefors test for normality, F-test, Student’s t-test, Chi-squared test, Fisher’s exact test, Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient). In the fourth part of the thesis the branch of manufacturing industry is characterized and the identification of performance factors is accomplished applying logarithmic decomposition of the return on equity. The other subjects of research were companies in a branch called “Manufacturing of machines and devices”. The fifth part of the thesis includes summary of findings of the prime research and its discussion. Primary data was obtained by a questionnaire survey and completed with accounting information of respondents. The findings of the research show that main determinants affecting the value of engineering companies in the Czech Republic are return on assets, profit margin, consumption, sales profitability, personnel costs and value added. The qualitative value drivers are good reputation, human resources (employees) and its characteristics, business and flexibility, performance and productivity, assets, competency responsible staff, attentiveness to requirement of customers, innovation and quality.

Basic human values in the environmental education of nursery school children
MELOUNKOVÁ, Jana
The topic of this work are the basic human values, which can be pre-school children familiarized with through environmental education. Environmental education and the definition of the basic human values follows after physical, psychical and social characteristics of the pre-school age. The methodology of pre-school education, which outlines the basic human values to children through environmental education, is based on the explanation of the key terms. The aim of this work was to verify the possibility that, even though the education plan is based on the focus on the basic human values in environmental education, it still follows the demand for the general development of pre-school children. The work was also focussed on a question whether a new dimension in this field of values can be found in the pre-school age.
