Czech Republic Army Soldier's Citizenship and Patriotism
Čavrnochová, Jana ; Skovajsa, Marek (advisor) ; Navrátil, Jiří (referee)
This thesis is focused on the issue of citizenship and patriotism of Czech Republic Army members, ie soldiers. Since citizenship, patriotism and military service has been historically linked, I decided to focus on those links in today's world and especially in the Czech Republic context. The aim is to determine how Czech Republic Army soldiers understand their citizenship and patriotism, and how is their citizenship and patriotism manifested. Furthermore, I also try to determine, which motivations soldiers consider the most important for their performance of military service. To achieve the goals, I present the relevant literature and introduce my own mixed sociological research that was realised on one selected military unit. Whereas that topic is considerably neglected in the Czech context, this thesis represent a contribution to the debate on the current form of the army and also point out the connection between civil society and army. One of the most important conclusions of this work is the finding, that soldiers feel the necessity of greater cooperation between the military and citizens, which could take place through civil society organizations and could thus open the way for greater interconnection of military world and civil society, and strengthen the links between them.

Estimating the impact of the 2012 liquor prohibition on crime
Krejsa, Jiří ; Dušek, Libor (advisor) ; van Koten, Silvester (referee)
This thesis focuses on capturing causal link between alcohol consumption and one of its externalities, crime. The quasi-natural experiment of the Czech temporary ban on hard liquor following an outbreak of methanol poisonings in September 2012 provides a valuable setting for evaluation of the alcohol-crime relationship. Over the course of the prohibition, violent crime rates fell by approximately 10 %, just like the aggregate of aggravated assault, criminal threatening, vandalism and property damage. In addition, the biggest share of reduction in crime falls on weekend criminality. The number of offenders under the influence of alcohol dropped by approximately 18 % for traffic-related offences and by 28 % in non-traffic offenses. The possibility of the reduction in crime being caused by lower detection capabilities of the law enforcement was examined. The reduction in reported cases of e.g. driving under the influence might be to a large extend explained by lower detection, but it could have reduced only rates of victimless crimes. Finally, the property crime rate was not significantly affected by the intervention, except for burglaries into bars and restaurants.

Influence of bioeffectors application on phosphorus availability in substrate and on tomato yields
Beranová, Martina ; Kulhánek, Martin (advisor) ; Hanč, Aleš (referee)
In the past few years, the Czech Republic has been trying to increase the input of plant available phosphorus (P) due to the increasing its bioavailability in soil. From the point of view agriculture properties we can say that there is only little amount of readily available P in soil. Plants are unable to take up phosphorus sufficiently, which is mainly due to the fact it is part of various less soluble soil compounds. Therefore, there are new technologies aiming to make P more plant available. One of these technologies are so called Bioeffectors
The aim of this bachelor thesis was to increase the plant available phosphorus content in soil due to the bioeffectors application and therefore increasing tomato yield and quality.
The bioefectors used contained the following microorganisms: Trichoderma harzianum, strain T22, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, strain FZB42 (RhizoVital), Pseudomonas sp. (pProradix) and a combination of Trichoderma harzianum with Bacillus subtilis with Zn and Mn added (CombiFector). The plant height, above ground biomass yields, tomato fruit yields and the contents of selected macro and micronutrients in soil (bioavailable form) and tomatoes fruit (total form) were estimated.
From the results is clear that: a) in the majority of monitored parameters, significant differences between treatments were not observed; b) Trichoderma treatment, in comparison to the Proradix showed significantly higher Mg content in soil, but only at the significance level 0.05; c) the total content of sulfur in the tomato fruit at the Trichoderma treatment was significantly lower in comparison with the Proradix and Combifector variations, and that at a significance level of 0.01.
In conclusion, it is possible to state that the application of bioeffectors, in the majority of cases, did not lead to significant changes of studied parameters. Therefore, it is necessary to look for new strategies that effectively increase the availability of phosphorus contained in soils and applied fertilizers. Therefore, it is possible to suggest further testing of bioeffectors in particular for further research in soils with varied characteristics and deeper microbiological analysis serving to understand the mechanisms of effectiveness and determine the viability of the products.

The economic importance of energy in the Czech Republic
Štěpánková, Nicole ; Urbánková, Erika (advisor) ; Jitka, Jitka (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to evaluate the economic importance of energy in the country. Along with this theme are reviewed macroeconomic indicators, which are compared with some of the attributes of the energy sector, so that they can assess their significance and coherence. Impact on GDP is reviewed in terms of electricity production, and also by means of the export of electricity. Impact of energy on the unemployment rate is evaluated from the perspective of people employed in the field of energy. The overall trade balance is evaluated in terms of import and export of electricity and natural gas. Finally, assessment of inflation through the development of prices of both commodities in the wholesale market. To evaluate these indicators are used statistical methods such as regression and correlation analysis. In conclusion, the thesis explains predetermined hypothesis and comprehensive assessment of the actual importance.

Inflammation and peripheral metabolism of glucocorticoids
Leden, Pavel ; Kment, Milan (advisor) ; Hampl, Richard (referee) ; Kršek, Michal (referee)
10 Abstract Glucocorticoids play an important role in regulation of inflammation and their immunosuppressive effect is widely used for treatment of inflammatory diseases. The biological activity of glucocorticoids depends not only on their plasma concentrations, the number of receptors and the responsiveness of the target cells but also on the local metabolism of glucocorticoids that is predominated by 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (11HSD). Two isoforms of 11HSD are known. The isoform 11HSD1 operates in vivo predominantly as a reductase that increases the local concentrations of glucocorticoids by reduction of their 11-oxo derivatives. The isoform 11HSD2 is a pure dehydrogenase that inactivates biologically active glucocorticoids to their inactive 11-oxo derivatives. The published data concerning peripheral metabolism of glucocorticoids during inflammation were obtained mostly in in-vitro studies. The aim of the thesis therefore was: (1) to study peripheral metabolism of glucocorticoids during trinitrobenzensulfonic acid (TNBS) induced colitis in rat. (2) to study peripheral metabolism of glucocorticoids in biopsies from human ulcerative colitis (3) to examine peripheral metabolism of glucocorticoids during dextran sodium sulphate (DSS) induced colitis in rat and (4) to study peripheral metabolism of...

Vzory pro návrh uživatelského rozhraní
Vávra, Jan ; Kašparová, Alena (advisor) ; Osvaldová, Jana (referee)
Touto prací se chci zaměřit na oblast vzorů pro návrh uživatelského rozhraní. To je soubor vzorů, jenž se snaží pomoci návrhářům desktopových aplikací (respektive internetových stránek) správně sestavit a implementovat uživatelské rozhraní. Cílem bylo vyhledat a přeložit nejzákladnější (a nejvyužívanější) vzory a seskupit je do určitých celků podle oblastí, na které se zaměřují. Vzorům pro návrh uživatelského rozhraní se věnuje zatím jen několik málo subjektů, je tedy poměrně složité najít ucelený soubor, jenž by zahrnoval uspokojivé kvantum těchto vzorů. Každý ze subjektů se navíc věnuje trochu jiným oblastem a přistupuje k popisu řešení problému mírně jiným způsobem. Zájemce o toto téma je tedy schopen najít uspokojivé množství informací, prozatím ale jen za cenu dlouhého vyhledávání a získání výsledků ve větším množství různých forem zápisu. Proto jsem vybral jednu formu zápisu a vzory, které byly zapsány jinak, jsem do této formy převedl. Výsledkem by měl být přehledný a jasně srozumitelný soubor vybraných vzorů ? jenž sice určitě není úplný a vyčerpávající, přesto pokrývá dosti velkou oblast základních existujících vzorů. Každý vzor je v mém podání prezentován ve čtyřech částech, těmi jsou: základním shrnutí vzoru, vhodné podmínky pro jeho implementaci (problém), návrh řešení daného problému a příklady správného (někdy i špatného) použití vzoru. V českém prostředí (speciálně na internetu) je velice obtížné sehnat jakékoliv zdroje či zmínky o vzorech pro návrh uživatelského rozhraní. Tuzemské subjekty se tomuto mladému tématu dostatečně nevěnují, proto jsem shledal prospěšným přeložit základní množství vzorů do českého jazyka a prezentovat je v prostředí internetu pomocí webové stránky, jenž je k této práci připojena jako příloha. Práce samotná sestává z úvodu do problematiky, kde se zaměřuji na vznik vzorů, jejich vývoj, formy a hlavní současné představitele této oblasti. V dalších částech jsou popsány skupiny, do nichž jsem vzory pro návrh seřadil ? pro každou skupinu následuje popis vybraných kompletních vzorů - všechny vzory jsem do bakalářské práce nemohl zařadit - z důvodů jejich velkého množství, ostatní jsou proto přítomny pouze na webové stránce, která je součástí přílohy. Ta je připojena na konci dokumentu spolu s terminologickým slovníkem.
