Kovalovský, Jan ; Horčic, Josef (advisor) ; Šeflová, Iva (referee)
Name: KOVALOVSKÝ Jan Title: Effects of Intensity and Volume on Developing General Endurance in Triathlon Keywords: aerobic threshold anaerobic threshold respiratory quotient power equivalent aerobic capacity aerobic max. performance triathlon At present time, high-quality training documentation is a necessary part of the training process. Computed records referring to training load allow to broaden accounting of parameters influencing the training process, and improve the training analysis, which will consequently allow for improving the training load analysis. In this dissertation I tried to point out that power demands ofphysical activities can be used as a specifying indicator ofthe training load in developing long-term endurance in triathlon. In triathlon events I focused on cycling and running. When determining power demands of an activity, physiological values referring to running laboratory tests were used. The power demands were calculated according to Di Prampero. As based on the power demand assessment ofthe given person's activity, training plans with current testing were elaborated. At the end of the two-year training cycle, accounting the effects of power demands on the triathlon training process was evaluated. Supposed contributions: - more accurate training load accounting - better...

Regulation of financial markets in international context
Nistorenco, Taisia ; Žamberský, Pavel (advisor) ; Jiránková, Martina (referee)
This diploma thesis comprises a theoretical, descriptive, comparative and econometric analysis of financial markets regulation in international context. In the first chapter I describe and analyse characteristics of modern financial markets, reasons for their regulation and institutional models of financial regulation and supervision. The second chapter offers an overview of the historical development of financial regulation and evaluates the role of regulatory factor in the outburst of the world financial crisis of 2008. In the third chapter I carry out a comparison of regulatory response to financial crisis in the USA and the EU. Forth chapter deals with regression analysis of the relation between Financial Soundness Indicators of three selected countries. The conclusions driven from this diploma thesis demonstrate that regulation is generally effective as a remedy for market failures, but in other aspects its effects are ambiguous. Intensity of regulation is a secondary impact factor in the formation of financial crises, in fact it is more reasonable to state that crises occur because of the failure of supervision rather than regulation. Due to the international attempts to harmonise the process of remediation of the consequences of the financial crisis, the regulatory response in the USA and the EU was very similar. Statistical analysis did not confirm the common idea that regulation represents a significant barrier for increasing the profitability of credit institutions.

Cropping management influence on epigeic arthropods´ biodiversity
Michalčíková, Lenka ; Barták, Miroslav (advisor)
Soil biota is critical for many functions Agro Ecosystems, provides various ecosystem services. Has an impact on the water regime of soil, detoxify contaminants like. These processes (and organisms that control) determines plant growth and thus maintain long-term productivity of ecosystems Agro. Soil also hosts many invertebrate herbivores, microbial pathogens and rhizosphere organisms that have a direct impact on the growth of crops. Modi fi cation of vegetation and soil themselves agricultural activities affect soil biota, which has retroactive effect on plant growth and nutrient turnover. Indirect influence of soil biota in agriculture lies in the manipulation of plant cover, which affects the quality and quantity of organic inputs to the soil (Bartak, 2002). Just as property of the soil by soil organisms, employee participation, and vice versa soil organisms react sensitively to any changes of soil environment (Barrios, 2007). This view of individual species allows us to analyze the composition of Agro biota. For many systematic groups agrobiocenóza formed predominantly species of group 2, thus representing a degradation stage agrobiocenóza original cenózy in other taxa in turn is substantially represented group 3. Specific agrobiocenózy composition also depends on the type of culture and forms management (Barták 2002). Traditional technology tillage. Basic tillage involves plowing, plowing, and their treatment, deepening topsoil, undermining and deep soil loosening. Tillage to regulate the conditions for plant growth and development. Further modifying the physical state of the ground, regulates the ratio between water and air in the soil, acts on the activity of microorganisms and invertebrates; tillage accelerates mineralization of organic substances affects Humicola fi cation processes in the soil. The level of tillage is strongly reflected in the development of plants during all vegetation (Faměra, 1993). According Suškeviče (1997) is essential in conventional agriculture obdělávacím surgery and one of the most important measures agrotechnical plowing. Minimizing tillage systems Reducing tillage intensity, ie. Minimization system and direct the mean substantial benefits for soil fertility. The intensity of tillage has a big impact on her fertility and maturity. Such as soil fertility is understood its long-term ability to procreate, while the maturity of the soil is a measure of soil structure supporting the right fertility. The key indicators of soil fertility are the aggregation of soil particles (density, clay and humus complexes), porosity and water content and soil nutrients. The high humus content, high biological activity and low erosion are the determining factors behind the high fertility of the soil. Minimization and soil conservation systems, these factors promote (Köller and Linke, 2006). Many previous studies comparing the biodiversity of farmland under different management systems. These studies cover a wide range of taxa. Hole et al. (2005) 76 worthy of such studies. Regarding cultivation practices, there is work comparing biodiversity much less. For example Schier (2006) considers the soil conservation tillage of the soil behind friendly environment which is favorable for arthropods, particularly insects.

Autoflurescence spectroscopy of colorectal carcinoma
Ducháč, Vítězslav ; Horák, Ladislav (advisor) ; Hoch, Jiří (referee) ; Poučková, Pavla (referee)
The submitted dissertation addresses the issue of autofluorescence diagnostics of colorectal carcinoma. The following objectives were set: to verify the possibilities of exploiting the autofluorescence properties of normal colon tissue and tissue changed by tumour to differentiate them and to verify the possibility of using an experimentally created portable measuring set to carry out an "optical biopsy" during the colorectal carcinoma operation. The project solution was divided into three phases: Phase I focused on experimental verification of the fluorescence characteristics of normal colorectal tissue and tissue changed by tumour with the use of argon and a helium-neon laser. The obtained values confirmed the possibility to differentiate not only in terms of quality (change in the spectral curve) but quantity as well (change in intensity of the autofluorescence emission at selected wavelengths). When excited by the He-Ne laser, an approx. 30 a.u. contribution was observed practically throughout the measured interval, the maximum being between 670 - 700 nm, which corresponds to the fluorescence spectre of porphyrins. Normal tissue did not show hardly any activity. When the Ar laser was used, intensity discriminant values ranged only in individual units. Phase II was devoted to verification of the...

Possibilities for developing sustainable transport in Prague
Macháč, Richard ; Černá Silovská, Hana (advisor) ; Kolaříková, Jana (referee)
This diploma thesis is concerned with the issue of sustainable transport. In the theoretical part, the emphasis is placed on setting the concept of sustainable transport into a broader context; it also describes various factors influencing the choice of the means of transport, which is crucial for transport planning. Furthermore, it describes a set of diverse tools used for transport regulation. At the end of the theoretical part, it mentions specific approaches implemented in selected cities all over the world. The practical part is based on a significant personal research, which helps to understand the issues of transport in a selected area of Prague. On the basis of this research, it subsequently suggests possible measures that might lead to a decrease in the intensity of automobile transport in the aforementioned area. Most of those measures can be similarly applied in other city areas as well.
