Comparative analysis of island regions of north European monarchies
Paznocht, David ; Romancov, Michael (advisor) ; Kofroň, Jan (referee)
The thesis deals with island territories of the Danish Kingdom and the United Kingdom, specifically Faroe Islands, Isle of Man and marginally Shetland, Orkney and Outer Hebrides. Faroe Islands and Isle of Man share special relations with their mainland countries, which guarantee them high level of autonomy and their own political institutions, parliaments originating in the age of Vikings. These territories also differ from their mainland countries in other aspects, for example history, culture, language, etc. Even though these territories have their own functioning political systems and gradually rising autonomy, they are neglected by the academia, especially in the Czech Republic. Main purpose of this thesis is to explore these systems, their relations between them and their mainland countries and to outline their possible future. Thesis itself is divided into several parts. The first part is the introduction, which familiarizes reader with the topic. The second part is a chapter about the Faroe Islands and their political system. Next part is a chapter about the Isle of Man. After Isle of Man, there is a short chapter dedicated to the Shetland, Orkney and Outer Hebrides. The last part is a conclusion, which summarizes specific aspects of these territories and suggests their future development. Powered by...

Geochemistry of Cenozoic volcanic rocks of the Faroe Islands with a focus on their ultra-trace contents of Hg
Šišková, P. ; Krmíček, Lukáš ; Coufalík, Pavel
According to geophysical research performed in the eastern part of the North Atlantic, many authors inferred that the basalt flows on the Faroe Islands overlie a continental metamorphic basement supposedly of Precambrian age. With respect to this, we focused our study on determination of ultratrace mercury contents by means of atomic absorption spectrometry to test this hypothesis. Mercury contents in basalts seem to be a sensitive tool for distinguishing between the basalts not affected by interaction with the continental crust and the basalts enclosing crustal xenoliths. Contents of Hg show great variability between samples even within the same formation. We presume that high concentrations of Hg in some samples are related to stagnation of individual pulses of parent magma in the continental crust below the Faroe Islands.
