The preparation and use of recreational and sports horses
KOČANDRLOVÁ, Barbora
The bachelor´s thesis deals with the preparation and use of recreational and sports horses. The recreational horses are mainly used for entertainment, riding or leisure (hobby) competitions whereas sports horses (show jumping horses, dressage horses) are used primarily for a certain discipline in which they compete. In the practical part of the thesis, occupational and leisure activities show jumping horses, dressage horses and recreational horses are mentioned. The subject of my observation was the riding regime, that took place between May and August. The activities that the horses were engaged in were evaluated on the basis of the percentage distribution of each work: fieldwork, the riding area, jumping, work on the lunge, work from the ground, competitions and relaxation time of horses. In the detailed analysis, we can see how many hours the horses spent in the given activity through the period of four months. It was found that the fieldwork was the most common physical activity of recreational horses (11 days/horse/month). The most common activity the sports horses were engaged in was work in the riding area (show jumping 7.8 days/horse/month, dressage 7.9 days/horse/month). All groups of horses spent the least amount of time on working from the ground (recreational 0.1 days/horse/month, show jumping 0.3 days/horse/month, dressage 0.1 days/horse/month).

Regime of Thunderstorm occurence in Slovakia
Kontrošová, Jana ; Hošek, Jiří (referee) ; Sládek, Ivan (advisor)
4 Abstract The subject matter of my thesis is the regime of thunderstorm occurrence in Slovakia. In the theoretic part of my work, I deal with thunderstorm categorization, condition of its creation and development and with side-effect phenomena. I also mention continentality of climate, which is linked with disintegration and occurrence of days of thunderstorms and thunderstorms. In the practical part, I focus on statistic analysis of number of days of thunderstorms and thunderstorms at the Irish meteorological station Valentia, which represents ocean climate and at 5 Slovak meteorological stations with continental climate in the period of 1961 - 2006 or 2007. I study the trend during years, months, seasons and number of thunderstorm phenomena at the stations, while comparing principles of oceanic and continental climate in the context of thunderstorms and days of thunderstorms occurrence. The main object of my thesis it to define thunderstorm season at each station by method of cumulative series designed by I. Sládek. Conventionally specified seasons do not always match reality. By this method, it is able to determine the natural beginning, end and duration of seasons according to selected climatological parameter. The thunderstorm season at Slovak meteorological stations usually begins at 3rd of May, ends...

Teplotní režim v zapojeném smrkovém porostu
Skarková, Helena
The bachelor thesis deals with analysis of the temperature regime in three types of ecosystems in the years 2011--2013. They are the spruce stand and the grassland at the experimental ecological study site of Bílý Kříž and the beech stand at the ecosystem station of Štítná nad Vláří. The comparison of the temperature regime in the stands with the temperature measured in the nearby climatological station is performed. Daily temperature cycles and the vertical temperature profiles in these stands are analysed for chosen clear and cloudy days. At least one mathematical model based on the principle of linear regression is created for every mentioned ecosystem. With the help of these models it is possible to calculate the temperature in the spruce and beech forests and in the grassland according to data measured in the nearby climatological stations.

Essays on Stock Market Integration and on the Curse of Natural Resources
Černý, Alexandr ; Filer, Randall (advisor) ; Gylfason, Thorvaldur (referee) ; Podpiera, Richard (referee)
The thesis contains three essays, each of which calls into question generally accepted empirical results through the use of more appropriate data or econometric techniques. In the first essay using a unique dataset covering two years of high frequency data on the indices from markets in the U.S., London, Frankfurt, Paris, Warsaw, Prague, and Budapest I perform Cointegration and Granger causality tests with data of frequencies ranging from 5 minutes to 1 day. The aim is to describe the time structure in which markets react to the information revealed in prices on other markets. The results suggest that the speed of information transmission is very fast and that the use of daily data may be misleading when analyzing the issues of stock market integration and information transmission among markets. The other two essays focus on the curse of natural resources. In the second essay I test the robustness of the curse of natural resources with respect to various measures of the quality of democracy and regime stability. I also employ smoothed least trimmed squares, a robust estimation procedure, to estimate the curse. The often stressed robustness of the curse of natural resources is confirmed. The evidence presented indicates that the intensity of the curse depends on the level of civil liberties. In the...

Comparison of day regime for children in holiday camp of two types
JÁCHYMOVÁ, Kateřina
Abstract Comparison of day regime for children in holiday camp of two types Bachelor{\crq}s work treats the staying conditions of children at the holiday tented camps and at permanent camps and the mode of their boarding. In individual chapters it deals with the conditions for the stay of the children at the camp, their boarding, their satisfaction and the duties of the arranging person, the health worker and his tasks and last but not least with the day regime of children and the specialisation of the camp. The goal of the work was to find the differences in the facilities, provision of operation and the day regime at both the types of camps (tented and permanent). Tented camps for relaxation activities were the following: in Sepekov ``U rybníka Chobot{\crqq}, Orlík near ``Schwarzenberská hrobka{\crqq} and in Pohoří {\clqq}Na Pile``. The permanent ones were the relaxation facilities Zátaví, Jiskra Dražíč and Varvažov Avie. Three hypotheses were set as follows: H1: From structural, technological and operational point of view the permanent camps are better equipped than those tented. H2: There are differences in keeping of medical documentation in tented camps and in permanent ones. H3: There are differences in the day regime for children at tented and permanent camps. To collect the data in order to fulfil the goal, the asking method with the questionnaires was used; they were given to 120 informants (younger children of school attendance age) in the selected camps. Discussions with leaders and health workers in these camps served to collect the data. The questionnaires contained 19 questions. The backflow of the questionnaires was 100%. The evaluation of the questionnaires was done separately for boys and for girls and also for tented and permanent camps (in %). The aim has been achieved, none of the three hypotheses was confirmed, however the differences in hygienic conditions of boarding were found, and in paradox it was detrimental for the permanent camps. There were differences found in the evaluation of the relaxation activity in the responses of children. The results of our work can be useful for field workers, for further work or for updating of the existing legislation. It can also be used for unification of procedures for health surveillance of relaxation activities of various types.

Cold hardiness of larvae of the fruit fly, \kur{Drosophila melanogaster} (Diptera: Drosophilidae)
KORBELOVÁ, Jaroslava
We assessed survival of larvae of the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster at low temperatures (0°C and 5°C) after rearing them under seven different acclimation regimes. Larvae that have developed in a standard diet at 25°C showed 50% mortality after 12,6 min of the exposure to 0°C (Lt50 = 0.21 h). In contrast, larvae that have developed in a diet enriched with glycerol at 15°C, and were cold acclimated at 5°C during last two days of their development, had Lt50 = 38.6 h. It means that it was possible to increase the Lt50 at 0°C more than 180-fold using simple manipulations with rearing temperatures and diet composition. The physiological differences in duration of larval development, fresh mass, dry mass, hydration and total contents of proteins, lipids and glycogen between the larvae belonging to different acclimation variants are described. The samples for future detailed metabolomic analysis were prepared.

Diabetes mellitus I - Diabetes mellitus - selected aspects of atherogenesis
Kwiczalová, Krystyna ; Kudláčková, Zděnka (advisor) ; Herink, Josef (referee)
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this dissertation was to compare the efficiency of an insulin pump and an intensified insulin regime on atherosclerosis markers - especially the lipid spectrum in patients with diabetes mellitus. INTRODUCTION: Diabetes mellitus is an illness developing in an increasing number of persons. The aim of diabetes mellitus type 1 treatment is to compensate the symptoms of this pathology in an effort to postpone or reduce the complications of the illness. In diabetes patients, complications connected with atherosclerosis are very common. These consequences of diabetes become the most common cause of death of patients. The insulin pump and the intensified insulin regime are strategies with the help of which doctors attempt to influence the development of complications associated with diabetes. The choice between these two procedures is still under heated discussion. METHODS: At work we compared 50 patients treated with the insulin pump and 50 who had an intensified insulin regime. We compared the lipid spectrum, glycosylated hemoglobin, BMI, number of insulin units per day, and complications in both groups. We also studied the connection between this illness and diseases of the thyroid gland, or smoking. We compared the possible differences based on gender. MAIN FINDINGS: We did...

Effect of drought stress on selected winter wheat yield formation components within pot and field experiimental design
Hlaváčová, Marcela ; Pohanková, Eva ; Klem, Karel ; Hlavinka, Petr ; Trnka, Miroslav
The object of this study was to find out what is the behaviour of the same winter wheat variety (Bohemia) plants cultivated within pot and field experiment. Therefore, the main aim of this study was to verify (based on the pot experiment results) whether the pot experiment (that is limited by the soil area) does not substantially affect plant reactions. The pot experiment was carried out in growth chambers where daily temperature course, relative humidity (RH) and photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) were set via protocols. The pots were exposed to the drought stress for 14 days with the daily maximum temperature 26 °C from noon to 2 p.m. The pots were split into 2 groups: (1) Dry where the soil moisture within pots were maintained below 30% of the maximum water holding capacity, (2) Wet where the soil moisture did not decrease below 70% of the maximum water holding capacity. The plants within Wet variant were considered as a control group. The pots were placed onto the concrete floor of a vegetation hall (where the plants were exposed to the weather conditions) prior and after stress regime exposition. The field experiment was conducted within experimental station in Bystřice nad Pernštejnem belonging to the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands in the Czech Republic. The drought stress was established through the transparent roofs installed above plants’ tops level in the field. The control experimental plot without roofs was nearby there as well. The plants were harvested when the full maturity was reached and the selected yield formation components were evaluated.
