Dlouhý, Petr ; Müller, Štěpán (advisor) ; Taušer, Josef (referee)
The bachelor work deals with the world gas market and its development since 2000 focusing on the Russian Federation's standings on this market. The analysis of the role of Russia in the world trade in natural gas is based on a set of data containing world reserves, production and consumption volumes information as well as the main trade flows among the major exporters and importers of this commodity. Very important part of the analysis is mapping of the Russian gas sector and its corporate and political background. The so called shale revolution is also taken into account. Shale gas is about to have an impact on some of the world's commodity markets. The main goal of this work is to assess the position of the Russian Federation on gas market between 2000 and 2012 and then to predict how much and under which circumstances may the position of this country on the gas market shift.

Gas trade
Andrsová, Nicola ; Čajka, Radek (advisor) ; Bolotov, Ilya (referee)
The bachelor work deals with the natural gas as a commodity, transport and storage potions, world gas market and its development since 80s of the last century. It also extends the possibility of using gas in the future for a variety of purposes. The main theme is the Czech Republic's position in the global gas business, especially in terms of relations with the European Union, Ukraine, and Russia. The analysis in this part is based on data on gas reserves in the world, the volume of production and consumption of gas and gas flows throughout Europe from the major exporters, especially the gas flows from Russia via Ukraine. For the Czech Republic, it focuses on the possibilities of enhancing energy self-sufficiency, especially the construction of the gas tank in a premises of Rožná gas storage and Mozart pipeline, which would mean the Czech and Austrian gas system hook-up. Consideration must also be given the ongoing Russian-Ukrainian gas crisis and its impact on gas supplies to Europe and/or the Czech Republic.

Analysis of the economic behavior of households in the period of years 2008-2013 in selected countries: the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Hungary
Maslák, Dominik ; Štípek, Vladimír (advisor) ; Řežábek, Pavel (referee)
This bachelor thesis analyzes change of economic behavior of Visegrad group household in the period 2008--2013, which is characteristic by economic crisis. The main part of this thesis is focused on analysis of indicators relating to revenues, expenditures, savings and debt of households. This thesis indicates that the economic crisis negatively signed on household sector of these four countries, whereas the most critical was the year 2009. Real gross disposable income and final consumption expenditures of households declined. Precarious economic condition, which was reflected also in labor market, forced households to provident behavior about their debt and savings.

Modern approaches to the city development planning and conceptions
Kostelecká, Lenka ; Khendriche Trhlínová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Kouřilová, Jana (referee)
The thesis introduces chosen initiatives that reflect the changing atmosphere and social values of population in the economically well-developed part of the world. The change in the social values is a consequence of deepening socio-cultural and economic interdependence of the regions and the cities in the globalised world. Main presumptions of successful implementation of the initiatives are analysed in order to confront it with the environment of the Czech cities. The main objective of the thesis is an evaluation of the readiness for the usage of these new initiatives in the current Czech city development. There is a visible change in social values among the Czech population under way, however that is typical for its hedonic character. Most of the presumptions are more or less fulfilled with the regional differences. Some of the initiatives have even already been successfully implemented with the positive impact on the environment. Therefore further involvement of similar initiatives could be expected in the future.

The development of household consumption in the Czech Republic
Pěnička, Jan ; Pavelka, Tomáš (advisor) ; Rusmichová, Lada (referee)
This Bachelor thesis deals with the development of household consumption in the Czech Republic , especially in macroeconomic terms . The aim of the Bachelor thesis is to explore the evolution over time and assess the impact of growth / decline of wages to consumption. The theoretical part describes the brief development of theories of consumption and also explains the basic concepts related to the topic. The practical part is based on the information mentioned in the theoretical part. It focuses on the relationship between selected macroeconomic variables and household consumption. Keynesian consumption function for the current and real prices is derived using regression analysis. The hypothesis, which assumes that the change in the average wage leads to a change in consumption, was proved. The second hypothesis, which assumes a reduction in consumption due to an increase in unemployment, could not be confirmed. Household consumption has been reduced in all monitored EU countries due to economic crisis.

The lipid quality of our economically significant fish species
KREJSA, Jakub
The level of fish consumption in the Czech Republic is very low. One of the possible factors influencing this situation is low awareness of the customer or consumer. The thesis "The Lipid Quality of our economically significant fish species" works with the list of nineteen economically most significant fish species not only including fish from the semi-intensive and intensive breeding, but also such species that are interesting for the consumption from the sport fishing point of view. The samples taken from particular fish were primarily used for the analysis of the fat content and fatty acid composition. The analysis established very interesting results in this field and created basis for further analysis for establishing atherogenic and thrombogenic index or for formation of nutritive values mentioned as "Big 7" (fat content and the ratio of fatty acid out of it, sacharide content and the sugar ratio in it, protein content, ash content and energy value) by particular fish species according to the regulation ES 1169/2011. The results of this work confirmed that the fat content and its composition are highly influenced by the type of ingested nourishment. The fish bred in semi-intensive way with the highest fat content are Common carp (7,62 ? 2,9 %) and Silver carp (6,87 ? 1,37 %). On the contrary the predatory fish evinced the fat content usually within 1%. The fish from extensive breeding or the types caught in sport fishing are in the fat con-tent more balanced. The fattest fish in this group is Silver Bream (5,52 ? 0,44 %) and the lowest content evinced Goldfish (1,14 ? 0,38 %). Also the species living in the aquaculture and living in the free waters as well were compared (Common carp, Rainbow trout, Peled, Tench, Wels catfish). The fatty acid composition significantly depends on the fat content. The predatory fish contain 195 - 219 mg×100 g-1, the most (p0,05) was found by the peled from the extensive breed (1048 mg×100 g-1 EPA + DHA). The participation of SFA by the most of the fish was under 30%, the content of MUFA was the highest by the Common carp (52,71 ? 7,75 %), the lowest by the European perch (18,83 ? 1,12 %). Pike, Zander and European perch contain relatively the most of PUFA, this is over 50%. All the fish species (Nile tilapia excluded) show in this study the values of atherogenic index below 0,5 and thrombogenic index below 0,4. The total energetic value was counted from the results of nutritional values presented in the "Big 7" list. The higher energetic value is directly proportional to the increasing fat content. The fish species included in this thesis show the total energetic value in the range of 500 - 900 kJ×100 g-1. The results of this study bring complete, laboratory proven information about the nutrition composition of our fish. This data can be appli-cable not only to increase the knowledge of the customers but mainly to be used by breeders and manufacturers of fish as an implement of fulfilling the duty of stating the nutrition facts on their products according to ES 1169/2011 on the providing infor-mation about the eatables to the consumers.
