Ecological consequences of seasonal bird migration
Brlík, Vojtěch
Environmental seasonality, and associated fluctuation in resource abundance, affects organisms throughout their life cycles. Periods of resource scarcity can be avoided by seasonal migration, strategy common in animals, including birds. However, the long journeys of migratory birds separate the stages of their annual cycles in space and time, and present them with a variety of challenges. Environmental conditions that migrants experience may have local effects, or may carry over across seasons, and have delayed impacts on individuals and populations. To better understand the interactions between migratory animals and their environment, we integrated individual tracking, environmental measures, and population data within a full annual cycle perspective. We contributed to the understanding that environmental conditions can affect migratory populations both en route and during stationary non-breeding periods, and that their effects can be observed on a continental scale. We also showed, across species and migratory flyways, that stages of the annual cycle are tightly linked during migration, but that these links weaken during prolonged non-breeding stationarity, with implications for individual success and future prospects under ongoing environmental change. To enhance the ability to trace animal...

Title of thesis: Construction of preparatory period for Taekwondo WTF. Purpose: Purpose of this bachelor thesis is creation of a plan for preparatory period with all its belongings. It shoud be applicable in praxis and it should provide needed physical condition for subsequent periods of yearly cyklus. Methods: To make bachelor thesis secundary sources were used, above all expert literature which deals with the theme and websites. Within the practical part there is made the training plan of preparátory period for 12 weeks based on secundary sources and author's own findings from praxis and the describtive method was used.

Topics of the cycle of the year in education at primary school
Plzáková, Petra ; Horská, Petra (advisor) ; Stará, Jana (referee)
The diploma thesis Topics of the cycle of the year in education at primary school deals with monitoring of the work of two primary school teachers who integrate the topic of annual cycle into their teaching methods. The theoretical part of the thesis provides a brief historical overview of how the theme of nature and society developed as a part of the primary school curriculum from the Middle Ages up to the present time. It introduces the term annual cycle in connection with the layers of the year and the passage of time, with its cyclicity and linearity. It conveys to the reader the characteristics of the developmental specifics of a student at primary school. It describes didactic procedures and methods suitable for mediating topics reflecting the annual cycle, such as the Step by step curriculum, integrated thematic teaching or project teaching. The empirical part presents qualitative research focusing on the usage of the topics related to the annual cycle in primary school teaching. The research was carried out at two Prague primary schools. The teachers selected for the research are first grade class teachers. The research is based on the observation of direct pedagogical work of the teachers, in-depth semi-structured interviews and uses document analysis as an additional method. The aim of...

The analysis of the evolution of color change landscape
Uhrovičová, Alena ; Vacek, Oldřich (advisor) ; Klára, Klára (referee)
The main focus of the thesis is the color influence of people and the color composition
in the landscape. The other aim is the psychology meaning of the human perception of
different colors. Further, the focus is on the phenology, which aims to annual changes of
plant´s organs within the grow cycle and plant changes during one year. Through the
phytocenology there is a space for mapping of occurrence and evaluation of vegetation cover.
Also, there are described in more detail the color models.
The methodology is focused on color change monitoring of the sample area, which is
located in Šumava Mountains within one vegetation cycle. The color change is demonstrated
by 12 photos, and after that is verified and evaluated by the time-lapse image analysis. The
main aim of the analysis is to propose the objective analysis how to measure the color
changes during a year. By the hypothesis, we verify, if it is possible to measure seasonal
changes objectively or not.
