The role of the institutions in the process of formulation of the renewed sustainable development strategy (2006)
Škrábalová, Lenka ; Rovná, Lenka (advisor) ; Urban, Luděk (referee) ; Zadražilová, Dana (referee)
The aim of the disseration is to assess the participation of institutions in the process of the formulation of the EU Sustainable Development Strategy and to find out, which of the institution was mainly responsible for leadership in strategic management towards the sustainable development EU. The participation of institutions in this process was analysed from the point of view of main integration theories (intergovernmental and supranational) and by the application of the model of formulation of strategy (Continuous Improvement Approach to Managing Sustainable Development). The main aspect of this dissertation was to analyse the practical realisation of sustainable development at the EU level as well as to observe various actors which were involved in the process of preparation of the EU Sustainable Development Strategy. The method of analysis was analytical and narrative case study design. The research was embedded in the context of enforcement of sustainable develoment policy at the EU level.

Commercial Relations Between the European Union and the United States of America - Development and Trade Disputes Since 1989
Bubeníček, Roman ; Škrábalová, Lenka (advisor) ; Kozák, Kryštof (referee)
Transatlantic trade and investment are intense and the two economics narrowly interlinked. Despite the rapid increase of the global trade in recent decades, transatlantic economic relations remain the dominant force in international economic relations for both the United States and the European Union, particulary if one considers not only trade but also foreign direct investment. Today American and European economies are the world's largest, and they are likely to remain so for foreseeable future. Overall bilateral commerce approaches 2.5 trillion of dollars per year and employs directly or indirectly some twelve million workers in Europe and the US (2000). With such intensive commercial relations trade disputes have arisen with some frequency whereas the range of trade conflicts is so wide that a complete accounting is difficult. During the cold war foreign economic objectives were often subordinated to security concerns. The US fathered European integration primarily to achieve political rather than economic objectives. There was a mutual accomodation of interest and the solidarity with the US due to Soviet threat. During the early post-war years the US did generally get what it wanted. However, during the 1960s and 1970s, the European Community distanced itself from the US. On the contrary, during the...

Binary Nucleation H2SO4 in a Laminar Co-Flow Tube, Binary Nucleation H2SO4 in a Laminar Co-Flow Tube
Trávníčková, Tereza ; Havlica, Jaromír ; Škrabalová, Lenka ; Hrubý, Jan ; Ždímal, Vladimír
Nucleation of sulfuric acid with water is one of key processes during new particle formation in the atmosphere. Despite the fact that first experiments dealing with binary nucleation of H2SO4-H2O appeared in the seventies of the 20th century, its mechanism is still not fully understood. This is largely due to difficulties in specifying atmospheric conditions under which nucleation occurs and complexity of laboratory experiments. In studies on binary nucleation using flow chambers with turbulent mixing of components (most often used technique), the experimentalists face two major problems. They have to determine the position of the nucleation zone as accurately as possible, and, at the same time, define acid vapor concentration in the nucleation zone. In this paper we present a Laminar Co-Flow Tube a device for measuring of binary nucleation which overcomes both of these problems. First results on nucleaction rates obtained on this type of device show that it is a useful tool for studying binary nucleation.

Modelling of Sulfuric Acid Nanoparticles Growth
Škrabalová, Lenka ; Brus, D. ; Antilla, T. ; Ždímal, Vladimír ; Lihavainen, H.
Aerosol particles influence global radiative balance and climate directly through scattering and absorbing solar radiation and indirectly by acting as condensation cloud nuclei. The atmospheric nucleation is often followed by a rapid growth of freshly formed particles. The initial growth of aerosol is the crucial process determining the fraction of nucleated particles growing into cloud condensation nuclei sizes (~ 50 nm and larger). The subject of this study is modelling of growth behaviour of sulfuric acid nanoparticles produced by nucleation of water and sulfuric acid under wet and dry conditions.

Growth of Sulfuric Acid Nanoparticles at Wet and Dry Conditions
Škrabalová, Lenka ; Brus, D. ; Ždímal, Vladimír ; Lihavainen, H.
Aerosol particles influence global radiative balance and climate directly through scattering and absorbing solar radiation and indirectly by acting as condensation cloud nuclei. The atmospheric nucleation is often followed by a rapid growth of freshly formed particles. The initial growth of aerosol is the crucial process determining the fraction of nucleated particles growing into cloud condensation nuclei sizes (~ 50 nm and larger). Many recent studies have suggested that the sulfuric acid plays a key role in the atmospheric nucleation and subsequent growth of newly formed particles. (Sipilä et al., 2010). The subject of this experimental study is growth behaviour of sulfuric acid nanoparticles produced by homogenous nucleation at wet and dry conditions.
