Trace elements and Pb isotopes in selected bone samples
Bartoš, Jan ; Mihaljevič, Martin (advisor) ; Strnad, Ladislav (referee)
The aim of this work is briefly summarize the current theoretical knowledge about trace elements and their inputs into calcified body tissues in a form of search. Here are described mechanisms of their inputs and depositing into human body and principles, which allows maintenance of their optimal levels. In this paper are also described the properties of bones and teeth and simply explained concepts such as an essential and toxic trace elements. The next part of this work is mainly about trace elements, which have the biggest potential to be used in an archeological research, particularly in paleodietary research. These elements are mainly Sr, Ba and Zn. Lead and its isotopes are discussed more here in relation to the effect of Pb to Romans in the past and to the identifying sources of pollution by this element. In the same chapter are also described principles of post-mortem alteration processes, to which are bones after burial exposed and which they have to face during analyzing and interpretations of data related to the amount of trace elements in origin bones.

Use of Experience Pedagogy and Theatrical Education in Geography Teaching
Barešová, Lenka ; Matějček, Tomáš (advisor) ; Bartoš, Jan (referee)
The main objective of the thesies is to compare a frontal teaching method and teaching by simulation. Two comparable groups of students were taught the same topic by the two methods. The topic was focused on an uneven world development. Following assumptions were set. Simulation is a more attractive teaching form, therefore it can help to raise the motivation of students. Frontal method is capable of transmitting more information. Simulation, however, can have bigger impact on students' values. The impact of simulation has a long-term impact in comparison to frontal teaching. These assumptions were confirmed by qualitative and quantitative methods.

The possibilities of further education in biological invasion issue for secondary school students
Bartoš, Jan ; Matějček, Tomáš (advisor) ; Král, Luboš (referee)
This diploma thesis identifies thanks a questionnaire investigation, what is awareness of high school students about the issue of plant invasion. In this issue has been suggested and in the practise tested model lesson. The model lesson was taught in 5 classes. The questionnaire investigation was realized in the classes, where this model lesson has not taken place. This questionnaire was divided into two parts. The first part focused on knowledge of invasive plants filled 255 respondents. In the second part questions were connected conservation with the issue of plant invasions. Also there were questions, which was determinate by the effectiveness of the model lesson. 40% of respondents have never heard about the plant invasions. Within the circle of knowledge is the relative frequency of correct answers much smaller. It was found if student's view on solving the situation around invasive plants is affected with approach to environmental ethics, which they profess.

Use of trace elements and Pb isotopes for bioarchaeological research of selected burial grounds
Bartoš, Jan ; Mihaljevič, Martin (advisor) ; Strnad, Ladislav (referee)
SUMMARY: Aim of this thesis is to provide, by using trace elements analysis and Pb isotopes analysis of archaeological findings from Roman era and following migration period, informations about basic bioarchaeological parameters of sites Abrahám, Rusovce II and Sládkovičovo (territory of present Slovakia) and Sopianae site (area of present Pécs city in Hugary). Analyses were performed on samples of 81 bones and 21 dental enamels. For purposes of this work most important concentrations are of Ca, P, Sr, Zn, Ba, Fe, Al, Mn and Pb (and its isotopes). They were consequently used for calculating Ca/P ratio in order to assess extent of after-burial diagenetic changes. For this purpose Al and Fe concentrations were taken into account too. Sr/Ca and Sr/Zn ratios were compared to assess prevailing type of diet. The Ba/Ca and Sr/Ca ratios were compared in order to asess supposable mobility of some individuals. By using of Pb concentrations and its isotopes contamination by this metal was assessed. During interpretations of individual conclusions useability of samples outgoing from assessment of extent of diagenetic alterations were always taken into account. Little changes in chemical composition of samples arise in case of Sopianae site, samples from other sites are greatly preserved. Using of paleodietary...

Decision-making of the Constitutional Court of the Czech Republic and its impact upon civil proceedings
Bartoš, Jan ; Winterová, Alena (advisor) ; Frintová, Dita (referee)
Name of the text, you are holding in your hands, could be well translated as "Decesion making of Czech Constitutional Court and its influence on civil procedure." It consist of three very separate parts, each of them following its own topic, linked up together only with major role of Constitutional Court (further "CC"). First chapter is dedicated to a slightly controversial case, which has been widely publicly discussed. The topic is strictly procedural, it refers to the possibilty of higher courts to remove and assign single cases to different judge/panel of judges. Although under certain circumstances allowed, in this case it seemed to be an unjustifed violation of art. 38 par. 1 of Letter of human rights and I conclude arguments, which could justify such restrictive process. Second one is following last ten years of interventions in Code of Civil Procedure, namely in regulation of review of appeal. In the first part are described reasons, why CC consider decision with missing justification unconstitutional and accordingly declares corresponding part of Code of Civil Procedure unconstitutional. In second part I analyze long-term contrary judgements of CC and Czech supreme court on admissibility of review of appeal which resulted in major part of regulation being declared unconstitutional. I...

The spread of invasive neophytes in the riparian vegetation of the Kamenice river
Holzknechtová, Nikola ; Matějček, Tomáš (advisor) ; Bartoš, Jan (referee)
Watercourses and especially their riparian vegetation are habitats that are very sensitive to spreading of invasive plant species. Rivers create natural migration routes (corridors) and help propagules to spread quickly and easily. The theoretical part of this thesis is focused on plant invasions and covers also the most recent knowledge in the field of invasion ecology. In the practical part of this thesis the spread of invasive neophytes in the riparian vegetation of the Kamenice river in Northern Bohemia is described. The plant species were examined during the field survey along the entire stream of the Kamenice river. In total, common occurence of 7 invasive taxa were recorded, namely Impatiens parviflora, I. glandulifera, Reynoutria japonica, R. sachalinensis, R. bohemica, Solidago gigantea and S. canadensis. The distribution of observed taxa along the stream as well as on the banks was relatively uneven.

Evaluation of Slovak geography textbooks in terms of approach to environmental ethics
Čechová, Aneta ; Matějček, Tomáš (advisor) ; Bartoš, Jan (referee)
This bachelor's thesis pursues Slovak geography textbooks for secondary schools in the aspects of their attitude towards environmental ethics. It investigates the ratio of differently oriented statements in particular textbooks. The statements are distributed into five principal categories of environmental ethics - anthropocentrism, theocentrism, biocentrism, ecocentrism and ethical evolution. The author compares the findings of this thesis with the findings of analogical thesis which dealt with Czech geography textbooks.

The analysis of historical geography textbooks from environmental ethics point of view
Weiner, Adam ; Matějček, Tomáš (advisor) ; Bartoš, Jan (referee)
The bachelor thesis focuses on analysis of historical textbooks for primary and secondary schools from the perspective of the environmental ethics. During the analysis process, statements of environmental issues were sought, which were evaluated and divided into appropriate directions of environmental ethics. The results were graphically processed and compared with the work of Seidlová (2010), who conducted similar research on contemporary textbooks. The research shows that in historical textbooks the anthropocentric, biocentric and ecocentric directions occur mainly, while the anthropocentric direction is the most represented of these directions. The theocentric direction and the direction of evolutionary ethics appeared only in a few cases. The similar scheme is in current textbooks, with the difference that ecocentrism is the most represented. The biggest difference between historical and contemporary textbooks is in the number of statements and their unambiguity. It was found that the number and unambiguity of statements is increasing towards the present.. The reason could be the stage of development and progress in which the society found itself. Keys words environmental ethics, geographical education, historical textbooks of geography, the man-nature relationship, evaluation of textbooks,...
