Polák, Michal ; Komínková, Dana (advisor) ; Libuše, Libuše (referee)
This thesis handle with the ecological status of Smržovka stream, respectively handle with change of the ecological state of stream due to urbanization. Smržovka stream, concretely the right tributary of significant river Kamenice Jizerské hory Mountains rises in the Jizerské hory Mountains protected landscape area, which is almost intact due to water pollution and gradually flows through an urbanized area with a relatively high level of infrastructure and sources of pollution. For the ecological status assessment of stream were used the following three indicators: hydromorphological mapping, physico-chemical water analysis and evaluation of biological components of makrozoobenthos in terms of saprobity. The work provides information on water quality in the stream with that this unique data can be the basis for the study of other small streams that spring in urban mountainous areas.

Impact of antropogenic activities on ecological status of the Meredský creek
Rosypalová, Hana ; Komínková, Dana (advisor) ; Libuše, Libuše (referee)
The presented thesis deals with the evaluation of the ecological status of small watercourse Meredský creek situated in Central Bohemia. Meredský creek springs in the village of Záborná Lhota, runs through the village of Chotilsko and behind the village of Čím empties into the river Vltava. This creek is affected by the urbanization, in the catchment area there is continual livestock grazing and there are several bigger water areas and smaller ponds situated on the creek. The landscape is completed by the mixed and coniferous forests and meadows. The evaluation rate of the pollution was determined according to the selected physical and chemical indicators of the water quality directly in the flow or evaluated in the laboratory conditions, biological status was determined by the community of aquatic macroinvertebrates (saprobity index, ASPT index, BMWP score, Margalef´s diversity index) and hydromorpohological status (average status) was evaluated too. The final ecological status was evaluated according to the Czech State Standard 75 7221 and requirements given by the environmental quality standards. Concentrations of ammonia, total phosphorus, nitrates, chlorides, dissolved oxygen were accomplished as not meeting environmental quality standards. According to the saprobity index, ASPT index, BMWP score water quality is average. Meredský creek reached the 3rd Class of hydromorphological status. According to the chemical status final ecological status is established as not meeting the requirements of the environmental quality standards and general measures leading to the better ecological status are suggested.

Health condition of of trees in natural monument Buky on Bouřňák
Wiedenová, Barbora ; Čížková, Dana (advisor) ; Vachová, Jana (referee)
In the thesis I focused on observing the occurrence of wood-decaying fungi on tree species in natural monument Buky na Bouřňáku. Two areas of 100 x 100 m were mapped, each contained hundred trees of various kind, mostly beech (Fagus sylvatica). The introduction summarizes information about the location and describes occurring pathogenic fungi and their expanding, biotic and abiotic damage and state of beech crowns. Observation was conducted from April to November, starting with the precise inventory of trees and their marking. Each subsequent month, I observed changes on specific tree species, recorded them and photgraphed detected fungal specimens. Individual species of wood-decaying fungi are described in my thesis. In the field, apart from fungi, I also observed the consequence of biotic factors that were evident on trunks, branches or assimilation organs. For individual species of beech, I recorded the condition of trees based on defoliation of the crown. The most frequently occurring wood-decaying fungi in the whole natural monument was Stereum rugosum. This fungi continues to spread and causes decline of several beech trees. Nevertheless I think the beech forest should be left to its spontaneous development, because it is a small protected area, more correctly natural monument.

Development and status of building savings in the Czech Republic and its prospects
Košatová, Eva ; Prášilová, Marie (advisor) ; Kudlík, Michal (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with development and status of building savings in the Czech Republic and its prospects since the year 2000 until 2014. Development of the building savings in these years was influenced mainly by the legal amendments related to building savings which regulated amount of the government benefits. Through elementary characteristics of time series, there has been done analysis of the chosen indicators during fifteen years. This analysis also enabled a prediction of further development in the next time period. Among the indicators of the building savings were selected the number of new contracts and the average target sum, the contracts of building savings in the savings phase and the amount saved, the paid out government benefits and the average government benefit related to the contracts of the building savings, as well as the number and volume of provided loans and the rate of the volume of the loans altogether and the amount saved. The analysis was used for establishing of proposals and recommendation of the building savings in the Czech Republic.

Use of the Animal Assisted Activity and Therapy with a Dog in Handicapped Children
Vodvárková, Aneta ; Chaloupková, Helena (advisor) ; Machová, Kristýna (referee)
The aim of this bachelor thesis was to summarize the available knowledge of the use of the therapy with dog in handicapped children and also their influence on children´s health condition. It combines knowledge from the scientific literature, which are complemented by a practical methodology and experience gained in the Czech Republic. Great importance of the relationship between human and animal shows how animals can affect mental and physical state of the client. Many scientific studies show that the therapies with dogs are very useful, especially for children. Very important target group for therapies with animals are clients with disabilities. Studies show the positive impact and effect on these clients and the improvement is demonstrated on the mental and the physical health. There are various forms of therapies and activities with a dog that are used in the rehabilitation of disabled children. Especially positioning and programs for the development of fine motor are used and experienced. On canistherapy team composed of handler and his dog are high demands for passing the test and they must work perfectly together. It is required absolute control of the dog, his character and appropriate training. The handler must be perfectly prepared for the action, well-educated and secure his dog and his client safe during activities. Although therapies and activities with the dog are quite often practiced in the Czech Republic, it is not a medically recognized method of rehabilitation. There is no specific and useful methodology and terminology. This should be the subject for further research.

Status of riding sport in Vysočina region
Straková, Michaela ; Doležalová, Jana (advisor) ; Viktor, Viktor (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with equestrian sport in the Vysočina region. It concerns about the past, the present, but also its development and future. The text focuses on four main aspects. These are the numbers of horses, education, race, including the prestigious Golden Horseshoe and financial donations. There is compared quantity of horses in the Vysočina region with other regions and also numbers of horses in Vysočina from 2003 till 2014. The thesis also deals with the organization of official competitions during the same period. It monitors numbers of official competitions including the specific trends of each equestrian discipline. The official competitions organized in Vysočina include the finals of the high popular competition Golden Horseshoe. The next aspect which is monitored is education of riders and horse breeders in the region provided by Czech Agricultural Academy in Humpolec. The last chapter of the thesis is dedicated to the financial support provided by the region of Vysočina for the development of equestrian sport, both for competitions and equestrian clubs. The thesis approves the theory that equestrian sport in Vysočina is developing. Monitored numbers of horses nearly doubled and there is obvious growth each year. Amount of competitions in the Vysočina were changing during the period. Most frequently, there were held around 20 - 30 competitions per year and for the next year there are planned 32 official competitions. Negative tendency can be seen in the numbers of students of the Agricultural Academy in Humpolec. The last chapter focused on financial support coming from Vysočina region and it shows that horsemanship is supported in this territory because it is beneficial for the region. Lot of people are periodically attending competitions, where families spend their leisure time. Horse riding also leads children have relations to agriculture, animals and mainly sport. Czech Agricultural Academy Humpolec educates young generation of people who after graduating are seeking employment mainly in the agricultural sector. By this the academy brings new qualified workers in agriculture to the region. What is more, the successful riders and breeders represent the region in national and international level.

Development and actual status of Illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing
Neuwirthová, Veronika ; Petrtýl, Miloslav (advisor) ; Koleška, Daniel (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with issue of Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated fishing. The aim is to refer to this problem and provide fundamental information on the subject of illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing. About 11 and 26 million tons of fish are caught by IUU fishing annually, which stands for as much as one third of overall annual fish catch. Numbers provided demonstrate the magnitude of the issue. First part describes IUU fishing, in general. Several terms important for orientation in the topic are explained there, such as bycatch or RFMO. Economical aspects - such as motivation of fishermen involved in IUU fishing activities - and world oceans sustainability are analysed there, as well. It is likely that the decrease of marine fish will reach its critical scale, within several decades if industrial fishing goes on beyond any limits. Second part provides description of main types of fishing gear and fishing methods, which are commonly used by fishermen all across the world. Fishing devices are therefore categorized and described in detail, several provided with pictures. Third part of the thesis examines the development of international sea law: which was being shaped at three United Nations Conferences on the Law of the Sea - and final division of sea waters into zones as well. The last chapter focuses on current possibilities of preventing IUU fishing. It provides several options and suggestions, such as following: banning usage of specific pieces of fishing gear which can be labelled inhuman, raising financial sanctions against individuals involved in IUU fishing, designing a database purposed for gathering valid information of fishing masters.
