Marriage from the point of view of civil and canon law
Procházka, Petr ; Frinta, Ondřej (advisor) ; Lederer, Vít (referee)
1 Název práce v anglickém jazyce Marriage from the point of view of civil and canon law Abstract Marriage is an important legal institution that affects a large number of the population. Marriage as we know it today evolved out of church marriage, and it is not only because of this that the two types of marriage that exist side by side with mutual respect for each other today are very similar in many ways. The purpose of this study is to describe and analyse the two types of Marriage, compare them to each other, and make comparisons with a focus on the variations between the two marriages. The objectives and purpose of the study are stated in the Introduction and the success of the objectives in the Conclusion. In the first part (chapters 1 and 2), the author focuses exclusively on civil marriage, from its historical development and legal sources, through the phase preceding the formation of marriage and the wedding ceremony representing the creation of marriage, to its dissolution. A significant part is also dedicated to the procedural aspects of divorce procedure, which represent a completely special type of civil procedure. The second part of the work, consisting of Chapters 3 and 4, deals with marriage under canon law. The content the second part of the study corresponds to the first part of the work,...
Migratory behaviour of Czech blackcaps (Sylvia atricapilla)
Valečková, Dominika ; Hořák, David (advisor) ; Procházka, Petr (referee)
Avian migratory behaviour has changed recently due to several factors including climate change. In many species of birds their wintering areas have become to move and their migratory paths have shortened. The Blackcap (Sylvia atricapilla), species with migratory divide located in the Czech Republic, established a new migratory path and a new wintering area on The British Isles within a few generations. This shorter route provides many benefits such as sooner return to breeding ground and occupying better territories, and lead to rapid growth of the number of individuals wintering there. Other changes in morphology (e.g. length of wings and bill, colouring etc.), ecology and ethology (e.g. earlier nesting accompanied by assortative mating etc.) are linked to this new migratory behaviour. The aim of this thesis is to analyse the ringing and mist netting data and compare the results with the published data, confirm existence of this migratory behaviour in our breeding population and obtain support of some related hypotheses. My results confirmed the existence of this new behaviour in our breeding population of blackcaps. During the period 1934-2020 Czech blackcaps changed their migratory behaviour in favour of a new route to The British Isles. Number of wintering blackcaps in these areas started to...

The bachelor thesis deals with the issue of laboratory verification of converters for photovoltaic power plants according to the currently valid legal and official regulations and standards. In the thesis, a literature search has been conducted on photovoltaic systems and connection conditions of converters for PV plants. The thesis also focuses on the verification of the characteristics of the RCT Power Tripower DC 6.0 inverter, for which firmware modifications were made to meet the connection conditions of the distribution system operators.
The use of stable isotopes in the trophic ecology of birds
Rusnáková, Michaela ; Hořák, David (advisor) ; Procházka, Petr (referee)
Recently, the use of stable isotope analysis has been becoming increasingly common in ecological studies of animals. This interesting method is based on the premise that the isotope composition of consumer's tissues is related to the isotope composition of the sustenance consumed. This allows us to explore the contribution of individual food sources to the diet of species, populations or individuals, and at the same time to study their position in the trophic chains. The method enables us to research even omnivores, consuming variable food with different nutrients and isotope composition. Nevertheless, isotope values can differ depending on diet preferences, species physiology and the tissue type used for the analysis. This review summarizes current knowledge and results in the topic of stable isotope analysis, particularly in ornithological studies where the approach in question has been used to study the diet and trophic position.

A range-wide assessment of carry-over effects within the full annual cycle of the Great Reed Warbler with a focus on sex and population differences
Brlík, Vojtěch ; Procházka, Petr (advisor) ; Bauer, Silke (referee)
Movements of long-distance migratory birds are frequently well timed and routed in order to maximise individual fitness. However, individual timing of events or environmental conditions experienced have a potential to carry over into subsequent annual cycle stages and may have delayed fitness consequences. Therefore, knowledge of these seasonal interactions is crucial to identify key periods and regions that limit survival beyond the breeding period and thus to fully understand population dynamics of migratory species. Despite current evidence for seasonal interactions, there is no detailed knowledge of the complex of relationships within the full annual cycle, differences between sexes and populations or impact of environmental conditions during moult in one species. To unveil this system of seasonal interactions within the annual cycle, we directly tracked 103 great reed warblers (Acrocephalus arundinaceus) using light-level geolocators from five breeding sites across the breeding range to obtain information on timing and positions of annual cycle events. We then combined this information with various remotely sensed habitat condition metrics and stable isotopic composition of feathers from the non-breeding grounds to identify and quantify carry-over effects within the full annual cycle. Our...
Yellowhammer as a model species for studies on passerine dialects
Diblíková, Lucie ; Petrusková, Tereza (advisor) ; Procházka, Petr (referee)
Even though birdsongs and bird dialects have been subject to considerably intense scientific research, the domain of bird dialects is still worth attention of scientists. There is a large number of hypotheses about the emergence of bird dialects which separately or combined explain their origin. Dialects can be classified on the basis of the structure of a birdsong which they are related to or according to a geographical scale (micro and macrodialects). Research on bird dialects belongs to such type of studies that require great amount of data and thus large amount of time and finance is needed. Nonetheless, this obstacle can be avoided by involving general public into the research, however choosing a suitable model species is necessary. Yellowhammer (Emberiza citrinella), which was chosen in this study, is undoubtedly a convenient species for its common occurrence and distinguishable birdsong. Yellowhammer males sing during a large part of the season and their dialects can be easily recognized. Moreover, some scientists differentiate between macrodialects, that should be divided across western and eastern Europe, and could be used to make the research more attractive for general public. Till now yellowhammer dialects have been thoroughly explored in Denmark and in some parts of Germany, but in other...
The effect of nest quality for breeding success in Great Reed Warbler
Jelínek, Václav ; Procházka, Petr (advisor) ; Fuchs, Roman (referee)
Nests are key structures for the reproduction of majority of avian species and as such they should be subject to natural selection. Six hypotheses have been suggested to explain variance in avian nest size. In my master thesis I evaluate their validity in the Great Reed Warbler (Acrocephalus arundinaceus). First two hypotheses describe responses of nest size to predation and brood parasitism. These two selection pressures may lead to the reduction of nest size, but no evidence of their impact on nest dimensions was obtained. However, I found a significant but negative relationship between the probability of nest predation and soft nest height. No such relationship was found between the probability of brood parasitism and nest size characteristics. The incidence of brood parasitism was affected only by nest visibility from the nearest cuckoo perch site and distance from open water. More visible nests suffered heavier parasitism while those located deeper in reed beds were better protected from cuckoo parasitism. Another four hypotheses describe selection pressures which favour large nests or some of their functional parts. The thermoregulatory hypothesis, the sexual display hypothesis and the nest support hypothesis did not explain nest size variation. I found support for the clutch size hypothesis,...
Ecology and behaviour of two European pipit species
Petrusková, Tereza ; Fuchs, Roman (advisor) ; Procházka, Petr (referee) ; Matyjasiak, Piotr (referee)
Brief overview of the thesis The thesis consists of íntroductionand five chapters (four published articles and one unpublished manuscript), which deal with two topics unified by the studied species. The first part of the thesis focuses on mechanisms allowing coexistence of tree and meadow pipits, and on the territorial and aggressive behaviour of meadow pipit males. The second part of the thesis analyzes tree pipit song and singing behaviour. Short introduction to the first part presentsbríefbackground on mechanisms allowing coexistence of closely related territorial bird species, and first two chapters focus on local co- occunence of ecologically and morphologically very similar congeneric species: the tree pipit (Anthus trivialis) and the meadow pipít(A. praten'sis).First, we evaluate habitat preferences of these species in syntopy and on two allopatric localities, and show that both species select different habitats in coexistence. ln the next chapter,we test by playback experiments for the presence ofinterspecific territoriality, and conclude that habitat preferences,and not interspecific aggression, are important for territorial selection of the two studied species. In addition, we demonstratethat overexcitation by conspecific song is a factor strongiy influencing behaviour of testedanimals, and...
