Adult education and inequality in access to education from gender perspective
Kolářová, Michaela ; Neusarová, Jana (referee) ; Kopecký, Martin (advisor)
In my bachelor work I deal with a topic of inequalities in education and inequalities in the access to education from gender perspective. It is a very wide and multidisciplinary topic. In my bachelor work it is possible to find in fact four points of view. General characteristics come from the sociological point of view - here I deal with inequalities generally, I give explanation why they exit, what they kinds are and then I explain the meaning of "gender" and after in the text I deal with traditional sociological theory, which is social stratification in the view of dealt topics. Next view of inequalities from gender perspective I got from historical theory - with its help I deal with the history of women's education in the Czech Republic and how the women tried to reach formal education till today. Then I deal with this topic from the view of pedagogical theory - theory about education. I try to look into the most common mistakes made by the authors of the school materials as well as by teachers and at the same time I try to give them a manual how to avoid these mistakes and how correct gender sensitive education should look like. At last I deal with today's situation in women's education in the Czech Republic and a topic close to it - labour market.

Analysis of the position of persons with disability in the labor market in the years 2000 - 2014
Kolářová, Michaela ; Czesaný, Slavoj (advisor) ; Brabec, Petr (referee)
This thesis deals with a position of persons with disability (PWD) in the labor market from the perspective of these individuals. Based on the data obtained by questionnaire survey was conducted SWOT analysis which shows that PWD do not perceive negatively their own position on labor market. However, there is always something to improve, whether by themselves or in the surroundings in which they move. Furthermore, this thesis analyzes the impact of legislative measures to promote the employment of people with disabilities in 2000 - 2014. Based on the data obtained by the Czech Statistical Office was conducted regression analysis of three models. Estimates of econometric models support the hypothesis that higher unemployment in the case of persons without a disability employment is declining persons with disabilities. Further, it failed to confirm the hypothesis that the impact of legislative changes to promote employment for persons with disabilities has a positive effect on the employment of these persons. The last hypothesis that says that these legislative changes have no impact on the unemployment rate of persons without a disability was confirmed.

Optimizing of weed control in carrot anf lettuce
Šuk, Jaromír ; Jursík, Miroslav (advisor) ; Kolářová, Michaela (referee)
The main aim of this work was to made literary review about possibilities of weed control in carrot and lettuce. The experimental part of this work was focused on optimization of herbicides weed control in lettuce and carrot. Small plot field trials were carried in 2015.
Literary review was focused on the summarizing of information about the particular vegetables. Futhermore, the available literature about weed control in these vegetables were complied, specialy with a focus on mechanical and chemical (herbicide) control. The last section of review is dedicated to optimizing use of herbicides that are not registered in tested vegetables.
In lettuce, herbicidal efficacy was assessed on Chenopodium album, Amaranthus retroflexus, Mercurialis annua and Echinochloa crus-gali and selectivity of herbicides to crop. In carrot, herbicidal efficacy was assessed on Amaranthus retroflexus, Solanum physalifolium, Chenopodium album, Echinochloa crus-gali and Mercurialis annua and selectivity of herbicides to crop.
Lettuce was treated by herbicide combinations with active ingredients: befor planting or postemergence pendimethalin, postemergence propyzamide, postemergence phenmediphan, postemergence dimethenamid and postemergence pethoxamide. Carrot was treated by herbicide combinations with active ingredients: preemergence aclonifen, preemergence clomazone, preemergence dimethenamid, preemergence pendimethalin, postemergence linuron and postemergence metribuzin.
In lettuce, were on the plots, where were used pendimethalin and dimethenamid. In carrot, best weed control were on the plots, where were used aclonifen, clomazone and dimethenamid. However, after application these herbicides, highest phytotoxicity was found. The lowest selectivity to both tested vegetables showed dimethenamid.

Study of diversity of weed communities on the selected farm in Central Elbe Region
Procházková, Petra ; Kolářová, Michaela (advisor) ; Václav, Václav (referee)
The diploma thesis examines the species diversity of weed communities in selected farm in the middle Elbe. Evaluation of the site is ranked in the sugar beet growing region. Specifically, it was evaluated weed plots Agromaso Ltd. in the immediate vicinity of the town Brandys nad Labem-Stara Boleslav at an altitude of 169 m n. m. Rated the weed in conventional crop farming in winter wheat and oilseed rape.
Data collection was conducted in early March this year, before the spring herbicide treatment. Application of herbicides in cultures were performed in the fall. On each plot were evaluated with 5 random plots with an area of 1 m2 per headlands and 5 plots of the same area in the center stands.
The values obtained were sorted into tables and graphs. Multivariate analyzes were investigated differences in species composition in the center stand and on headlands. Furthermore, differences in species composition of weed communities of cereals and oilseeds. These analyzes confirmed the following hypothesis:
Hypothesis 1: weed species diversity at the edges and inside the land varies.
This hypothesis was confirmed by multivariate analyzes. Diversity on the edges of the land was higher than in the centers stands. On the edges of the land occurred more weeds than in centers of growth. The center crop of winter wheat were the only two species of weeds, while the edge 8 kinds of weeds. On land with oilseed rape situation was similar, margins land accounted for nine weed species and hunting center, only 7 weeds. This fact is confirmed by the Shannon - Wiener index of diversity.
Hypothesis 2: There are differences in species composition of weed communities of cereals and oilseeds (due to diversion from the original methodology was modified hypothesis).
The research confirmed the hypothesis 2, multivariate analysis demonstrated that the species composition of grain and oilseeds differ. Effect of composition on the crop species spectrum was found to be statistically significant. Types Elytrigia repens, Apera spica venti, Stellaria media were found only in the growth of winter wheat. The crop of winter oilseed rape occurred entirely different kinds of weeds, for example. Sinapis arvensis, Galium aparine, Euphorbia helioscopia, Erodium cicutarium.

Analysis of weed spectrum in cereals in organic farming
Horáček, Jan ; Kolářová, Michaela (advisor) ; Holec, Josef (referee)
Summary
Organic farming means a chance for plants to reveal their abilities. We offer better conditions to the associated plants for their growth and reproduction by no use of chemical herbicides and by using alternative growing methods.
Organic agrophytocoenoses are significant by higher species richness and cover. There can be found some of endangered species among the weeds, which may be more successful in organic system, therfore the organic type of farming may serve for their protection. The most successful weed species endanger cultural crops on both organic and conventional fields. They become more dangerous without the possibility of herbicide application. Thanks to this, the strategy of each plant species is more important. That is why the question of weed suppression in organic farming is highly important and frequently asked.
The aim of this thesis is to analyse weed flora on organic cereals fields and to point out possible factors influencing them. Braun-Blanquet scale of dominance and abundance has been used for the assessment of weed communities. Several different localities were investigated in Benešov district. Influence of winter cereals, spring cereals, previous crop and the tillage system have been assessed.
Some of the most important weed species were: annual winter weed species in winter cereals, perennials and few annual spring species in spring cereals. Annual weeds were typical for spring cereals sown two years on a one plot, perennials were associated with spring cereals sown after fodder crops. -There were not found any evident differences in weed spectrum in winter cereals based on previous crop. Agrophytocoenosis on fields with conventional and reduced tillage differed. Wider spectrum of perennial species was typical for fields where reduced tillage was applied, differences in annual weed spectrum were also found. Typical species for conventional tillage were for example: marsh woundwort, common couch-grass and common poppy, while, creeping thistle, creeping buttercup, perennial sow-thistle, mugwort, corn chamomile, loose silky-bent and some others were often found on fields where reduced tillage were used.
The results of the analysis in this thesis mostly lead to the same description of weeds as in literature, but few of the results are different. Thanks to statistically decisive results, it is apparent, how a farmer can affect the plant associations over a long period.
Key words: organic farming, weeds, agrophytocoenosis, cereals, weed control, features(characteristic) of weeds.

Study of diversity of weed communities in wide row crops in Podkrkonoší Region
Kocour, David ; Kolářová, Michaela (advisor) ; Václav, Václav (referee)
The main aim of the master's thesis was an assessment of weed communities in Podkrkonosi Region (the area underneath the Giant Mountains) (Pokrkonosi). The effect of the crop (maize, potatoes) and altitude with a particular focus on thermophilic weed specieshas been investigated.
The theoretical part outlines weed species referring to their significance, classification, harmfulness as well as benefits. The effect of climate changes, invasive plants, biodiversity and effect of temperature are discussed. Last part of the literary review is a brief description of model crops.
In the practical part of the thesis, soil and climate conditions of the locality are described. Furthermore, a term phytocoenology is introduced and the methodology of recording relevés and the data conversion are explained. Totally, 99 weed species out of 25 families were found (69 in maize, 85 in potatoes).
Chenopodium album agg., Echinochloa crus-galli and Fallopia convolvulus were the most frequent species in maize. The species with the highest cover were Fallopia convolvulus, Chenopodium album agg. and Echinochloa crus-galli.
Chenopodium album agg., Echinochloa crus-galli and Viola arvensis were the most frequent in potatoes. Chenopodium album agg., Fallopia convolvulus, Echinochloa crus-galli and Galinsoga quadriradiata can be classified as the weeds with the highest cover.
Euphorbia helioscopia and Sonchus arvensis were positively correlated with increasing altitude, while Amaranthus retroflexus, Solanum nigrum and Galinsoga quadriradiata were negatively correlated. Thlaspi arvense and Echinochloa crus-galli were characteristic species in maize, and Veronica persica, Galinsoga quadriradiata and Sonchus arvensis in potatoes.
It can be concluded that potatoes fields showed higher species richness than maize, especially in higher altitudes. Maize was characterized by narrow weed spectrum with few predominating species. The tested hypothesis was confirmed and a statistically significant effect of altitude on the occurrence of thermophilic weed species has been found.

Monitoring of the flowering time of selected arable weed species
Suran, Pavel ; Holec, Josef (advisor) ; Kolářová, Michaela (referee)
Flowers have an irreplaceable role in a sexual reproduction of plants. Flowers also offer the nutrients to high ammount of the insect species, both pollinators and parasitoid imagos. These insect species are depending on a beginning and a lenght of the plant flowering period and some are depending as well on a plant species diversity. Therefor it is important to monitor a flowering time of individual weed species.
The phase of the plant flowering is started, as well as by other things, by a certain temperature and a humidity. Some species might require a different value of these parameters. The beginning and the lenght of the weed flowering should correlate with a development of the temperature and the humidity during the observation period. This monitoring period was the year of 2015 and observed area was the Demontrational and experimentational land of the Faculty of Agrobiology, Food and Natural Resources of the Czech University of Life Science in Prague. During the observation period, the plant flowering times of the individual weed species were recorded on a weekly basis. In this study, the beginning and the end of the plant flowering time were evaluated for every weed species, that were observed on the observed area. Several of the observed species registered a pause in the flowering time, this pause was also evaluated. It was found out, that most of the species, that start flowering in the spring, started flowering roughly one or two months earlier. The plants capable of flowering during a moderate freezes flowered untill the very late autumn or even during november. The plant species, that start thein flowering in the summer were not affected by an increase in the temperature of the first months, but they were affected by the very high summer temperatures and these species stopped flowering and they either never flowered again, or they started flowring, once the temperature dropped.

Analysis of the influence of the quality of life on suicide rate
Kolářová, Michaela ; Hronza, Martin (advisor) ; Babin, Jan (referee)
This thesis analyzes the impact of various affecting the quality of life on the suicide rate in the individual regions of Czech Republic in 2000 -- 2008 and answers the question, whether we can find happiness -- suicide paradox. The research is based on data from the Czech Statistical Office I estimate the econometric model. As determinants of the endogenous variable (suicide rate) I present variables of the index of the quality of life. The results do not show a clear impact of index of quality of life on the suicide rate as a whole. Some of variables confirm the hypothesis about the existence of happiness -- suicide paradox, on the contrary other variables disprove this paradox. The hypothesis about the existence of happiness -- suicide paradox based on these data can not be conclusively confirm or disprove. It appears that during this period the total number of committed suicides is decreasing.

The Health Risk Assesment of Employees in ARPIDA Center.
KOLÁŘOVÁ, Michaela
The target of my work was Health risks evalution of employees in ARPIDA center. This facility provides care for the persons with physical and multiple disabilities. Employees were evaluated for the following professional groups: physical therapist, special educator, teaching assistant, personal assistant and rehabilitation pool lifeguard. For my research I have set the following research questions: ?What are the conditions for the categorization of works in connection with the operation of ARPIDA center??, ?Is the work of workers with direct contact with handicapped persons with endurable physical stress??, ?Are the factors at work of all employees ARPIDA center same and is the same as classifying these factors into categories?? The thesis was based on the application of a qualitative survey. The data collection method was used to interview with employees and then it was taged by secondary data analysis methodology compiling study of expert sources. Based on this research it was found that the factors do not work at all studied the same profession, the same is not their classification into categories. Some professions are burdened by excessive physical exertion. Lifeguard pool doesn´t expose to physical exertion, but his work activities affect climatic conditions and exposure to chemicals. Factors in a higher category than the first, can negatively affect the health of workers, especially physical load factor. For more specific evidence that physical stress factor could be in the category of the third, risk, I recommend to accredited or authorized measuring of physical activity in the profession a physiotherapist. This bachelor thesis can serve as a resource to increase awareness of employees who are professionally engaged in work with handicapped persons and may be the basis for further research in this field.
