Uhlíř, Michal ; Sklenák, Vilém (advisor) ; Bělohoubková, Lenka (referee)
The aim of this paper is to point out, what information we come into daily contact, their quality, credibility, and how or what criteria to evaluate these properties. It focuses mainly on information sources that are presented via the Internet. The work consists of four chapters, two of which are considered crucial. These are the chapters entitled "Ethics in information resources" and "Evaluation of quality of information sources." In the first of the chapters are named as the duties and powers of the parties to work with information that impacts on information ethics violations, etc. The main benefit of chapters dealing with the evaluation of the performance criteria which would allow us to facilitate the evaluation of the quality of information sources on the Internet. In conclusion, this work indicated the evaluation survey, which aimed to find out how the public is familiar with the topics of the chapters.

Energy policy of the EU - Nuclear power in Europe
Kovácsik, Miroslav ; Žamberský, Pavel (advisor) ; Vošta, Milan (referee)
The events of the recent past in the energy department in Europe have shown how big is it's dependency on import of the primary energy resources. In the long run it is obvious that a high dependency on import of resources with the increasing demand of the population will not be able to provide Europe with so much needed easy accessible and reasonably priced energy. The integration process in Europe lasts more than fifty years now but energy policy is even after the ratification of the Lisbon treaty in controll of the national parlaments of member countries. Even though the options and posibilitie of the countries differ in the long run a closer cooperation is mandatory. The thesis is about the united energy policy in Europe and the development it went through since the beginning of the integration process in the fifties of last century. I will describe the main events that formed it as well as the main resources of energy production in the EU. I will explain the term energy security and in the end I will write about nuclear power that is today a vary efficient but after the events of Fukushima also controversial alternative of energy independence.

Water resources and water pumping sites for fire equipment in Písek district.
VIKTORA, Vladimír
In my diploma thesis I have created the updated version of water sources and pumping sites for fire equipment in the Písek district. I acquired large volumes of data by a detailed physical inspection of possible water sources in all villages in the Písek district. In my thesis I have mentioned water sources only in those villages that are classified into fire protection units, category II and III. The complete summary of all water sources and water pumping sites is on the attached CD. The data contain the name of the village, type of water source, GPS coordinates, additional information about the water source and any additional notes regarding repairs, distances from the village, etc. Photo documentation and the map section were produced for each water source. In many villages, there are hydrant networks which, in those villages where there is no water source, can have a substantial effect on fire safety. The thesis also includes the list of all hydrant networks in the Pisek district, including the owners and operators. The thesis can be used for the Operating and Information Centre of the Fire Brigade for the South Bohemian region which, for the demand for water for rescue and liquidation can send the unit directly to the water source according to the ascertained data. For some water sources, below the table in the note, there may be corrections or improvements that lead to a better use of these sources. The thesis monitors the existing status of the water and pumping sites for fire equipment in the Pisek district. I compared the acquired data with data from South Bohemian Region Regulation No.4/2003 at 2.12.2003. It results from the compared data that permanent updating and communication on the part of the municipalities with the Fire Brigade is necessary. In many places, water sources are closed and new water points originate with the possibility to pump this basic and main extinguishing agent.

Importance of plants for determination of ecological footprint
Vejvodová, Tereza ; Albrechtová, Jana (advisor) ; Cudlín, Pavel (referee)
Ecological footprint (EF) is a concept to measure anthropogenic influence of individuals, regions, states and society on environment, which is expressed by units of global hectares (gha). Global hectares are calculated from the equivalent number of hectares of biologically productive area, which ensure the needs of person, cities, regions or states. The calculation includes all the anthropogenic activities using renewable natural resources. EF also examines and quantifies the area needed for carbon sequestration. EF is calculated from six land use types - cropland, grazing land, forest for timber and fuelwood, fishing grounds, built-up land and forest for carbon dioxide uptake. Plants, as participants in a number of important processes on the Earth and the base of the food pyramid, can significantly modify the final EF through the value of their net primary production (NPP). Yield factors and equivalence factors are used to transfer different areas productivity (forest, cropland, grazing land, etc.) to get land use types in global hectares. The aim of the present thesis is to make a review of the concept of ecological footprint and its calculation methodology especially the effect of variability in NPP of plants in ecosystems. The influence of ongoing global climate change can affect NPP of plants and this...

Komunikace a paměť pro plausibilní agenty
Kopal, Vojtěch ; Sýkora, Ondřej (advisor) ; Plch, Tomáš (referee)
In the present work we have focused on comparation of different implementation of memory for plausible agents in multi-agent environment. I have created a simulation whereby the agent are strangling to fulfill their need to eat. To succeed they have to learn the locations of food resources using the implemented spatial memory and an ability to communicate with each other. Later the agents are evaluated according to the level of hunger throughout the simulation.

Assessment of regional climate models performance in simulating present-day climate over the area of the Czech Republic
Crhová, Lenka ; Kalvová, Jaroslava (advisor) ; Kliegrová, Stanislava (referee)
Title: Assessment of regional climate models performance in simulating present-day climate over the area of the Czech Republic Author: Lenka Crhová Department: Department of Meteorology and Environment Protection Supervisor:doc. RNDr. Jaroslava Kalvová, CSc. Supervisor's e-mail address: Jaroslava.Kalvova@mff.cuni.cz Abstract: Today a great attention is turned to climate changes and their impacts. Since eighties the Regional Climate Models (RCMs) are developed for assessment of future climate at regional scales. But their outputs suffer from many uncertain- ties. Therefore, it is necessary to assess models ability to simulate observed climate characteristics and uncertainties in their outputs before they are applied in consecu- tive studies. In the first chapters of this thesis the sources of uncertainties in climate model outputs and selected methods of climate models performance evaluation are reviewed. Several methods of model performance assessment are then applied to si- mulations of the Czech regional climate model ALADIN-Climate/CZ and selected RCMs from the ENSEMBLES project for the reference period 1961-1990 in the area of the Czech Republic. The attention is paid especially to comparison of simulated and observed spatial and temporal variability of several climatic elements. Within this thesis the...

The end of The Carnival - Poetism on the verge of the 1930s
Bílková, Petra ; Wiendl, Jan (advisor) ; Vojvodík, Josef (referee)
Univerzita Karlova v Praze Filozofická fakulta Ústav české literatury a literární vědy Diplomová práce Petra Bílková KONEC KARNEVALU poetismus na přelomu 20. a 30. let THE END OF THE CARNIVAL Poetism on the verge of the 1930s Praha 2012 Vedoucí práce: doc. PhDr. Jan Wiendl, Ph.D. Abstract In the first half of the 1920's, in the Czech avant-garde, a new art began to form - Poetism. On the basis of individual manifests and programmatic articles it was defined as modus vivendi. In the 1920's many principles and ideas were shaping the future, not only for the society, but also for the artistic movements. Poetism featured mainly an original concept of art and life; the authors of theoretical articles were mainly Karel Teige and Vítězslav Nezval. Within a few years the concept of life as a careless game and a source of joy faded and bitter- sweet topics began to penetrate Poetism. At this time, the poetics of Poetism changed from the original cheerfulness and everyday beauty to serious existential topics - the evidence is provided by many works of art. This transformation affected poetry the most. In poems made by authors, who came out of Poetism, inspiration thereby gathered is still evident; however, more serious issues are coming to the fore. Each of those poems expresses a distinct reconciliation with the...

Architect Bernhard Grueber (1806-1882)
Laštovičková, Věra ; Vybíral, Jindřich (advisor) ; Horyna, Martin (referee)
Bernhard Grueber (1806-1882) was invited to Prague in 1845 to become professor of Architecture at the local Academy of Arts. Being an experienced Bavarian architect from Munich, from the art centre of those times, he was expected to establish a high-quality school of architecture. This school had been founded not long before and his task was to bring up a new generation of creative personalities. Munich romanticism was supposed to become an alternative to Austrian state utilitarianism. Grueber was expected to enhance the vernacular architecture to the position of real art. But the conditions did not incline towards that. After the revolution of 1848 the emancipated Bohemian national movement did not support the production of the German artist. The task to revive vernacular art was entrusted to Bohemian artists. Neither German romanticism was found worth succession. And what more, Grueber provoked emotions of the Czech National Revival supporters with his art-historian works, where he emphasizes the common dependence of Czech art on German models. At the end he had to return to his native Bavaria in 1873. But paradoxically the young generation of architects of the end of 19th century, in their effort of finding the new true national style, drew from the same ideological source as the cursed architect: from...
