Initiative Food Not Bombs in Relation to Homeless People
ČESKÁ, Jana
This bachelor's thesis is focused on the initiative Food Not Bombs and its relation to homeless people. The aim of the work was to describe the inner workings of the Food Not Bombs initiative in the Czech Republic and to reflect on the activists in contact with homeless people. Food Not Bombs is a global initiative highlighting inequalities in society through free food distribution. The theoretical part defines the basic concepts related to homelessness, including social services, approaches to social work with this demographic and the current state of affairs. Furthermore, the history of the initiative Food Not Bombs, its operational principles and follow-up activities are presented. The empirical part of the work contains research using the qualitative research strategy and questioning method. Data collection was performed using a semi-structured interviews. The research group consists of eleven informants from the eight cities in the Czech Republic in which the groups operate. The obtained data was converted into text form and subsequently analyzed using open coding and categorization. Based on this analysis, research questions were answered. They aimed to identify differences in the activities of individual teams and how activists perceive homeless people. Several differences were identified between groups from different cities. However, these were not fundamental differences and it can be concluded that the groups agree more than not. Activists perceive the homeless as excluded from society and suffering from material deprivation, often due to the unfair distribution of resources. They endeavor to perceive homelessness as a problem without blaming individual people for it. The groups are characterized by giving equal access to the hungry and striving to help and support everyone without distinction. The work may serve to raise awareness of the initiative's activities and contribute to changing the passive or negative public attitude towards the homeless.
Fabula et historia: Vaclav Hajek z Libocan and fictional strategies of historiography
Česká, Jana ; Bílek, Petr (advisor) ; Škarpová, Marie (referee)
So far the academical reception of Czech chronicle by Václav Hájek of Libočany was criticized for not being considerate of the early modern period literary context. It can be concluded from this paper's analysis of previous critiques and interpretations of Hájek's chronicle and from the excerption of key aspects of the theory of fictional worlds, that there is a lack of knowledge about the early modern period discoursive praxis, which defined the fictionality of text(s), as well as about formal and methodical aspects of this kind of work. Only through a thorough inspections of these two aspects it is possible to understand Czech chronicle and similar works as both historiographical sources and components of literary progress. This paper is comprised of selection of theoretical tools meant to identify the distinctions between fictional and non-fictional narratives, of overview of Hájek's chronicle's reception in compendia and editorial comments, and finally of a synthesis of theoretical conclusions and practical classifications of Hájek's chronicle, meaning this paper evaluates their expressive value regarding the current (non-)fictional state of Czech chronicle.
Hand-down narration and the Czech Chronicle by Václav Hájek z Libočan
Česká, Jana ; Kubišta, Albert (advisor) ; Andrlová Fidlerová, Alena (referee)
The thesis defines on the base of analysis The Czech Chronicle of Václav Hájek from Libočany and it's comparison with five selected sources (Kosmas' Kronika česká, The work of so called Follower's of Kosmas, The Chronicle of so called Dalimil, The Zbraslavská Chronicle and Eneas' Silvio's Historia Bohemica) the term "narace" (derived from narration), which is introduced for enclosed epic storyline found in Hájek's work. It finds relation amongst "narace", rhetoric tradition and local historiography and this way tries to place The Czech Chronicle back to the understanding of development of national literature, from where it was excluded by positivistic historians on the end of 18t h and during 19t h century.

Effect of water deficit on the energy content of individual plant organs in selected species of leafy vegetables
Šimůnková, Petra ; Hnilička, František (advisor) ; Česká, Jana (referee)
This work presents the impact of water deficit on dry mass production and photosynthetic accumulation of energy on every single plant´s organs of selected plant species. As a chosen experimental material were taken plants of Spinacea oleracea "Matador" sort and Tetragonia tetragonioides. Spinacea oleracea and Tetragonia tetragonioides plants were grown in containers 11x11cm large in mixture of garden substrate A with silicon sand (2:1) in 2 variations placed in FAPPZ greenhouses. One variation was for control and second was exposed to stress reaction. Control variation had been watered for whole time of experiment with 50ml of water 2 times per week. Stressed one had been watered after puncturing and 6. taking until the end of experiment. During the plant´s ontogenetic evolution had been monitored dry mass´s weight on singular plant´s organs. With usage of burnt calorimetry method had been monitored capacity of photosynteticaly accumulated energy in dry mass. Quantity of netto energy had been found out by dry burning adiabatic calorimeter LAGEST MS 10A. From the gained results emerge, that plants of Tetragonia tetragonioides have 2 times higher weight growth apart from Spinacea oleracea. Control plants of Tetragonia tetragonioides have higher weight by 25,5% (123 mg) compared to the plants growing in water deficit. Likewise higher weight of roots had been observed on control plants (41 mg) compared to the stressed plants (40 g). Control spinach plants had higher weight of above-ground biomass by 19,5% compared to the stressed ones (43 mg). Roots of control plants had lower weight compared to stressed variant by 2960 mg. From the results emerge, that plants of Tetragonia tetragonioides have higher weight of roots dry mass and above-ground biomass compared to the Spinacea oleracea plants. Burning heat without ashes was on above-ground biomass of control plants Tetragonia tetragonioide on 15,96 kJ.g-1 level and on stressed plants 14,93 kJ.g-1 . In case of Spinacea oleracea plants was amount of control plants energy 14,98 kJ.g-1 and on stressed 14,21 kJ.g-1. Burnt heat without root ashes of Tetragonia tetragonioides control plants was higher by 1.11 kJ.g-1 then on stressed ones (13,19 kJ.g-1). In case of Spinacea oleracea plants was amount of roots energy on control plants 11,90 kJ.g-1 and on stressed 11,72 kJ.g-1 . Based on measurement were verified differences between species in reaction on water deficit and observed characteristic. From measuring emerged, that Spinacea oleracea plants are more sensitive on effect of water deficit compared to the Tetragonia tetragonioides plants, which is more tolerant. Next thing observed is, that there are differences in amount of dry mass and rate of burnt heat in relation on effect of water deficit.
Monitoring and protection of habitats nature trail Pustý rybník (Dymokury district)
Nouzovský, Petr ; Česká, Jana (advisor) ; Dana, Dana (referee)
The aim of the thesis was to perform mycological survey of the site with a focus on the incidence and inventory of rare and endangered species of macromycetes. They were also assessed anthropogenic influences that affect the value of the territory and selected habitats. It was the first comprehensive mycological site survey, which was conducted from 2011 to 2015. The Trail Pustý pond near Dymokury is a relic of medieval basic hornbeam with almost unscrupulous management. From the natural communities Carpinion the area include Quercus petraea, Quercus Robur, Carpinus betulus, Tilia cordata and Acer Campestre. Natural forest communities Carpinion provides a very strong and long-lasting mycorrhiza. Minority There exists also a natural Crataegus monogyna, Quercus petraea, Fraxinus excelsior and Alnus glutinosa. Unoriginal there is only a pioneer Betula pendula and before about 60-years ago planted vegetation Pseudotsuga menziessii. The result of mycological research, which began in spring 2011 and it was completed 31. 12. 2015 has been detected and reported the occurrence of 294 kinds of macromycetes. Of this total were found and documented 39 rare and endangered fungi. Of macromycetes, which are not protected, found and determined 27 Ascomycetes and 267 Basidiomycetes. Of law protected species in the study area has been detected in the following species: Boletus fechtneri (§1), Xerocomus moravicus (§1), Tuber aestivum (§1), Volvariella caesiotincta (§2), Otidea concinna (§2) and Russula alnetorum (§ 3), of the species were categorized into the Red list of Czech Republic fungi is one of the most important findings species: Boletus fuscoroseus (CR), Boletus rhodopurpureus (CR), Boletus satanas (NT) Rubinoboletus rubinus (NT), Hygrophorus persoonii (CR), Lactarius lacunarum (NT), Lactarius pterosporus (NT), Lactarius zonarius (VU), Amanita echinocephala (EN). In the second part the focus is on the evaluation of anthropogenic pressures and the overall management at the site, as well as to natural succession. Majority is focused on the aftercare of land depending on the occurrence of rare and protected species of fungi and plants, and to assess the monitored habitat at the site. Given the interesting transition boundaries in an otherwise coherent natural habitat, where they were found other rare species of fungi have been to several locations are measured and recorded pH of the soil. Photographic documentation, which is incorporated by reference and inventory taxa, which is listed in the results, it can be used as an opportunity to re-create the old and dark educational boards on the surveyed area, as well as may be used to create small-scale protected area. Exsiccata have so far been kept as a resource in the private herbaria author. This thesis summarizes five years mycological study of the site in question strictly and justifies the use of the most appropriate management with regard to the occurrence of rare and protected species of fungi.

Převrátilová, Jana ; Česká, Jana (advisor) ; Martin, Martin (referee)
This bachelors project deals with the inventory of trees and dendroflora assessment in the city park Dvořákovy sady in Karlovy vary. It is divided into two parts, begins with a literature review, which covers the history of Karlovy Vary and historical development of gardens, parks and orchards. Part of the research is also a chapter devoted emergence of city park Dvořákovy sady and characteristics of the area where there are described, inter alia, soil and climatic conditions of this place. The practical part contains an inventory of dendroflora, which took place during 2015. Horticultural assessment methodology was developed based on Ing. Jaroslav Kolarik and the goal was to obtain information about the health, vitality, height, girth, age and physiological age of the trees. The basis for the inventory of trees was a booklet about the nature trail from 2012, which includes a map without scale and inventory table. This publication contains erroneous and incomplete data and completely there is no objective assessment of the health and vital condition of trees. During inventory many pictures have been taken, the most interesting became part of this thesis. In this section are described according to the author interesting taxons of trees, memorial trees and park zones (lawns, flower-garden). Main objective of research is inventory of species of trees, including an assessment of current state of trees and park zones.
Historic greenhouse in castle grounds Konopiště
Nohejlová, Kristýna ; Česká, Jana (advisor) ; Martin, Martin (referee)
The aim of this bachelor thesis is an inventory of all plant kinds in a historical green house Konopiste. It is known that there are over 200 different kinds of plants currently growing in that place. The exact number cannot be listed and stated, because it is still moving and varies. There are some plants that are still growing at one place in a soil for many years. One of the examples is Phoenix canariensis, which dominates the whole green house. The majority of plants are grown there in planters. That enables their easy manipulation within the whole green house. The inventory of all kinds of plants took place between March 2015 and February 2016. Each plant has been noted down according to its station. The first chapter deals not only with the history of the castle itself, but is also described together with the history of the green house and its surrounding areas. Unfortunately there has been only a limited amount of resources available to study for me and to use. Therefore my description does not go into deep details. In this chapter, I therefore describe some technical achievements and economical parameter and measures. They show how the green house has been heated in those days and describe the details of pluming. There is also a short description of a mechanism which opened the windows in order to cause air flow circulation. The main was Encyclopedia of garden plants by Christopher Brickell. The Latin names of individual kinds were flowingly sorted using the websites ipni.org. The fifth chapter is dedicated to the inventory. Each green house section has its own general description, from which, there has been lately chosen a sample of the most interesting plants. Their characteristics were then described, using those specialized books. The final inventory of green houses is than shown in additional tables. The sixth chapter includes and deals with recommendations of the writer. The writer suggested a better marking, using a good quality materials and labels. (Steel and enamel) Another suggestion, which the writer made, was to follow the inventory stock take, but some of the plants should be repositioned. The ones, that were not in blossom, or were not grown up enough, in order to mark their characteristics. In an attachment there are the photographs of the castle, together with the Rose garden and its green house. Other photographs show some interesting, or rare plants. They may have unusual shape, or a beautiful loom.
Floristic survey of part natural reserve Sluneční stráň (Ústí nad Labem district)
Štrymplová, Linda ; Česká, Jana (advisor) ; Hnilička, František (referee)
The floristic survey of the part of natural reserve Sluneční stráň (Ústí nad Labem district) was carried out in the vegetation period in 2015. The studied area is located near the village of Brná in Ústí nad Labem district. Typical is primarily its geobiocenosis of the Bohemian Uplands and xerothermic flora and fauna. The aim of this thesis was floristic inventory of the given part area and re-inventory of taxa of vascular plants (related to the results of the revision of 1976 and 2012). The main focus was mainly protected and endangered species of studied area. The aim was also the assessment and evaluation of the level of applied and planned management in the context of a valid plan of this natural reserve. The occurrence of a total of 166 plant species, of which 45 species were determined to be in danger of extinction given in the Red List of vascular plants of the Czech Republic (including 7 kinds of legislatively protected) was detected by inventories in the studied area. Even though, in comparison with previous surveys, there was a partial reduction in species diversity (possible reduction factors are discussed), this location still belongs to very valuable natural areas which must be protected. Based on the inventory of plant species and its comparison with Habitat Catalogue of the Czech Republic, it was found that mainly a found group formation of secondary grasslands and heathlands represented by the subunits of Rock-outcrop vegetation with Festuca pallens (T3.1) - Association Alysso-Festucion pallentis, and Narrow-leaved dry grasslands (T3.3) - Association Festucion valesiacae (T3.3D - stands without a prominent occurrence of orchids) occurs in the studied area. To keeping recommended and approved current care plan for the period 2014-2023 can maintain phytodiversity of the communities in this important area from a botanical point of view. In the care plan are itemized in detail suitable and appropriate interventions and protectionist measures.
Floristic survey of natural monument Vinice (Příbram district)
Ambrožová, Veronika ; Česká, Jana (advisor) ; Petrů, Veronika (referee)
Floristic survey of the natural monument Vinice (district Příbram) was conducted during growing seasons in 2012 and 2015. The study area is located near Jince and it is important paleontological deposit of Cambrian fauna. The aim of this thesis was a floristic inventory of vascular plant species, with a focus on validation of endangered and exotic species occurrence. The thesis also includes an evaluation of previous work results and current treatment interventions in context with the management plan. In the natural monument Vinice, there were 61 vascular plant species inventoried on selected parts of the monitored area in 2015 (in 2012, there were 47 plans species determined, excluding families Poaceae, Juncaceae and Cyperaceae). Presence of two endangered species was confirmed in both years, while another three previously recorded (in year 2006) endangered species were not found at the study area in 2015. Five alien species were recorded in 2015, of which the black locust (Robinia pseudacacia) and small balsam (Impatiens parviflora) are invasive nature. Potential threat to the locality can be common broom (Cytisus scoparius), although it is not considered as an invasive species in the Czech Republic. On the basis of floristic inventories four main habitats were indicatively set (Hercynian oak - hornbeam forests, herb-rich beech forests, acidophilous thermophilous oak forests and dry acidophilous oak forests). To preserve this valuable paleontological and also botanical site is recommended to follow the management plan for the period 2007-2016, where the appropriate interventions are described. The new management plan should emphasize the protection of paleontological deposits and the liquidation of alien species populations (including common broom) especially on rock terraces with thermophilic vegetation.
