Conservation of populations on the edge of geographical distribution
Pešová, Lucie ; Sedláček, Ondřej (advisor) ; Šípek, Petr (referee)
Populations on the edge of the range are often considered less valuable for conservation with regard to core populations of the species. These populations are often small, isolated and less genetically variable, and are therefore more prone to extinction. On the other hand, there are some studies claiming that some peripheral populations could have genetically unique allels which could help them adapt to changing environmental conditions. They thus have a big speciation potential. Peripheral populations could also occur behind state borders, where the species has conservation status, despite the fact that it is a common species somewhere else in its range. Due to this contradiction, peripheral populations are a delicate topic of discussion in the scientific community. In this paper I summarized the features of populations on the edge and also factors which limit them. Furthermore, population dynamics of these populations and summary of the main genetic processes taking place in small populations are outlined here. Next there are arguments for and against conservation of populations on the edge. In conclusion I give model examples of species on the periphery, demonstrating their features and reasons for their possible conservation. Key words: population, conservation, peripheral, marginal, range...

Czech-Islamic marriages from the viewpoint of gender
URBANOVÁ, Marie
The thesis is deal with Czech-Islamic marriages from the viewpoint of gender. The first part characterises the basic concepts, marriage traditions in a purely Czech society, the issue of gender in the Czech marriage, marriage traditions in a truly Islamic society, Islamic marriage, gender issues, gender issues in Czech-Islamic marriage, the ethical impact of migration, including the ethical impact of cultural migration, potential misuse of the Institute to ensure family reunification residence permit in the Czech Republic, an example of migration, with specific policy approach in France. The practical part includes a rationale for selecting the research sample, showing the chosen research methodology. Based on the interviews is confirmed by the hypothesis of the thesis that the cultural influence of gender, as a bearer of a different conception of the of man-woman gender in Islamic culture, and Czech, respectively. Czech-Islamic marriages is a significant factor in causing marital disharmony. Mutual two-way cultural knowledge, as well as the presence of tolerance, love and truth, is a prerequisite to guarantee the functional relationship. This fact is verified by the Czech-Islamic couple, in the final case report.
