Hamsters (Rodentia, Cricetinae) in the Quaternary fossil record of Czech Republic and Slovakia
Lebedová, Klára ; Horáček, Ivan (advisor) ; Wagner, Jan (referee)
1 Abstract The material of hamster remains in the Quaternary fossil assemblages from Czech Republic and Slovakia was analyzed in details with aid of biometric comparisons and contextual analyses focused on stratigraphic position of particular records and structure of the small mammals communities accompanying them. Cricetus as well as small hamsters (Allocricetus-Cricetulus) were recorded in all main Quaternary biozones (MN17-Q4). Yet Cricetus was recorded in few assemblages only mostly just with a single specimen only, except for several Q2 sites and those from the present glacial cycle (with peak abundance in preboreal and boreal). Despite obvious common trends (enlarging size from MN17 to Q3) all samples show roughly the same pattern of dental variation supporting a concept of Cricetus as a monotypic genus with a single species, C. cricetus covering all fossil forms separated as its subspecies. Correspondingly, our results support congeneric status of MN17-Q3 Allocricetus and Q4 Cricetulus, despite separating them as independent species, i.e., Cricetulus bursae and Cricetulus migratorius. Analysis of subrecent samples of C. migratorius from Turkey revealed a very broad span of phenotype variation in extant species covering both the variation framework of extant Phodopus sungorus and metric variation in a...

Emergency calls and mutual comunication among Operation centres of the basic bodies of the Integrated rescue system.
LEBEDOVÁ, Klára
Due to the increasing number of threats, which daily affect and endanger human lives and health, is proportionally increasing the need for their protection. The society is characterized by its development, adjustment and by effort to improve all areas of life priorities are especially life and health. Cooperation and the need for it in fighting different events have resulted in urge for a collective legislative protection. Integrated rescue system cannot be understood as a firm institution, instead as an expression of rules of cooperation, and as a tool for cooperation and coordination of its bodies. Emergency events which stroked Czech Republic, whether it was a serious floods, windstorms, mass road accidents or disruption of public order, putted emergency preparedness of Integrated rescue service bodies to the test and brought the attention to the problematic areas in overcoming those events. Primary part in response to a request for assistance play Operational center of Integrated rescue service main bodies. Emergency call is one of the fundamental element of being notified of the emergency situation and requesting the assistance from IRS bodies. Through this service is provided protection of basic human rights: protection of life and health, acceptable environment and asset protection . In the beginning of the theoretical part of the thesis are specified IRS terms and operational management issues on a level of IRS operational centers. Further is mentioned system of receiving emergency calls and historical development of emergency call centers of 112. The next chapter describes how to ensure interoperability in the operational management of IRS. The main objective of the thesis is to show the importance and benefits of implementation of the Project of the IRS information systems and in the same time point out the resulting quality of services provided to the population. Also the evaluation was conducted of the environment in receiving the emergency call and communication of IRS before and after the implementation of the Project. The practical part is further supplemented by surveys of tables, graphs and photos that inform about the current technical state of operations centers and an overview of cooperation of the Integrated rescue system. The obtained results were processed in SWOT analysis, which clearly describing the status of operational management before and after the introduction of information centers of IRS. Surveyed group of operational centers of IRS main bodies was limited to the environment of the Integrated rescue system in the South Bohemian Region. The results show that the introduction of the Project of the IRS information systems within the IRS Integrated Operational Programe is to improve cooperation between operational centers of the IRS main bodies and at the same time increase the standard of services provided to the population. The results will be beneficial as information material for each body of the IRS, it can serve as a tool increasing awareness among the public about emergency calls. The thesis will be used as study material and also for internal use of Fire and Rescue Service of the Czech Republic.

The Interoperability in the Integrated Rescue System.
LEBEDOVÁ, Klára
The main objective of this thesis titled The Interoperability in the Integrated Rescue System was to explain the concept of interoperability and to draw attention to its necessity in the environment of communication and interaction among the basic components of the Integrated Rescue System in their joint interventions. The research was conducted in two parts. The first part was devoted to the study of professional literature, in particular the legislation relating to the Integrated Rescue System and its individual components. In the second part, the knowledge obtained was tested in practice. The initial part of the thesis is devoted to explaining the various concepts of interoperability and the Integrated Rescue System. It lists the system components, their main tasks and the ways of securing the aspects of interoperability. Furthermore, the thesis is dedicated to the levels of intervention management, communication and coordination of the components at the level of operating centres and the cooperation of the components during non-intervention periods. The initial part is concluded with the information about the upcoming project of a unified information system of the Integrated Rescue System (the IS IRS Project), which should bring significant improvements and higher quality of the cooperation among the basic components not only when receiving emergency calls but also during joint interventions. The theoretical results were applied in the Central and South Bohemia Region. Comparisons were made between the individual components and their securing in these aspects of interoperability. These comparisons revealed different levels between the components in some areas. In spite of this, the results show that the interoperability in the Integrated Rescue System is secured; the Czech Republic has a relatively well-functioning system in terms of response to emergencies. However, due to an increase in the number of incidents that have threatened us in the past few years, whether they are natural disasters or various accidents, the Integrated Rescue System is an area that deserves considerable attention. The results of the thesis could be used to further improvements in the cooperation of the basic components.
