Firstly, he anticipates senators to be less bounded to their parties than deputies. Secondly, he suggests that parliamentary party groups in both chambers become more united when it comes to more important voting. Lastly, the author considers the number of seats of parties in government in the Senate has no influence on either stability or legislative initiatives of the government. The theoretical part briefly describes Parliament of the Czech Republic, its composition, the role of the chambers and the legislative process.

Metabolic changes in tobacco plants grown in the presence of sucrose
Garčeková, Květa ; Ryšlavá, Helena (advisor) ; Folwarczna, Jitka (referee)
Metabolism of plants grown in vitro is affected by the composition of culture medium. Beside essential nutrients culture medium are often composed of sucrose as well. The aim of this study was to find out, if additional source of carbon-sucrose affected activity of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC, EC 4.1.1.31), NADP-malic enzyme (NADP-ME, EC 1.1.1.40), and pyruvate, phosphate dikinase (PPDK, EC 2.7.9.1). Activities of these enzymes were determined in different parts of tobacco plants (Nicotiana tabacum L., cv. Petit Havana SR1) grown in vitro in culture medium: Murashige-Skoog agar containing sucrose (SR1+S) and in plants grown without sucrose (SR1-S). Fresh weight activity and specific activity of studied enzymes in SR1+S plants were increased. In upper leaves fresh weight activity of PEPC, NADP-ME and PPDK was increased 1.7- times, 1.4-times and 1.9-times, respectively. Also the protein content was higher in SR1+S plants. The results indicate that metabolic pathways catalyzed by these enzymes are in the presence of sucrose more involved. Key words: Nicotiana tabacum, L., NADP-ME, PEPC, PPDK, sucrose

Its models match the general st rategies of media campaigns and they are sufficient for all aspects of the analysed campaign description. There are three hypotheses defined in hereby presented thesis and all of them were affi rmed. It was proven in the fi rst hypothesis that the speech act "Evropě to osladíme!" is in accordance with Searle's theory of illocutionary speech acts. Therefore complex Searle's speech acts theory and potential communicat ion fai lures were presented. In the second hypothesis it was proven that some of the conversational implicatures were not respected in the analysed utterance. The Gricean theory of meaning and conversational impl icatures was described in order to support the conclusion of the hypothesis. In the thi rd hypothesis it was proven that the intended targets of the campaign were met....

Application of Haematological Methods in Zoological Studies
Poplová, Jitka ; Vinkler, Michal (advisor) ; Krulová, Magdaléna (referee)
Haematological methods are widely used in zoological researches. Unfortunately, especially in ecological studies there is often much imperfection in techniques adopted, and misinterpretation of results is also common. This is particularly the case of methods serving to assessment of the peripheral blood cellular composition. In this thesis I therefore decided to describe basic haematological methods, their mechanisms, advantages and disadvantages. I also highlighted possible application potential in several less widely utilised haematological techniques. In the practical part of this thesis I have shown that the examination of immature erythrocyte differential count may serve as a meaningful indicator of health state in birds.

Its current form, as we can know today, started to create at the time after the 2nd world war. Furthermore in the communist countries the family situation and the other parts of the government policy was strongly influenced by the soviet model for the 40 years and in fact that's the reason why our country had to go through the many reforms during the 90's and why we still face up against so many problems up to now. All these actions led to flux and development in this area and its rule of law not just in our republic but also in the sphere of the international and European law. So in this composition I want to write especially about the historical development of the family policy till the present state of affair in the first place. I understand that family policy is relatively extensive term including many benefits and the other instruments...
