International economical relations of European Union
Pikešová, Ludmila ; Urbánková, Erika (advisor) ; Jitka, Jitka (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to create scenarios of a possible development of future economic relations between the European Union and Russia. These scenarios of a possible development will be based on a description of those relations beginning with those that began to build up between these two subjects after a break-up of the USSR till the contemporary status when the situation between Europe (or more precisely the European Union) and Russia became considerably tense. There will be two suggested scenarios of a possible development and the first is possible to be marked as a pessimistic one and the second an optimistic one. The pessimistic scenario will continue to develop the status quo that is heading for a further limitation of economic cooperation. The optimistic one will take into account a gradual releasing from the sanctions and a cooperation improvement and it will discuss a possible progress of mutual economic relations.

Remote sensing as support tool for agricultural drought assessment
Hlavinka, Petr ; Semerádová, Daniela ; Balek, Jan ; Žalud, Z. ; Tadesse, T. ; Hayes, M. ; Wardlow, B. ; Trnka, Miroslav
Very important information about vegetation condition within wide areas (through continents and states) or for local areas in resolution from hundreds to tens of meters could be obtained from satellites within remote sensing. The temporal and spatial continuity is big advantage of this method. Namely so-called vegetation indices are often used for vegetation cover condition assessment. The aim of submitted study is to present possibility of using EVI2 (Enhanced Vegetation Index) for assessment of drought impact within vegetation. The results for selected years of the period 2000-2015 achieved using MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) aboard Terra satellite are included. The data in weekly time step and for the whole Czech Republic are presented.

Impacts of corruption and fiscal evasion on selected sectors of the economy
Rodonaia, Elizbar ; Šrédl, Karel (advisor) ; Kopecká, Lenka (referee)
Corruption is one of the most famous and also the most serious problems of the contemporary world. The aim of the processing of the dissertation is to create the actual characteristics of corruption and fiscal evasion, both from theoretical and practical point of view, specify their manifestations in economies of Georgia and Czech Republic in conditions of contemporary globalization, as well as to express the effects of corruption and fiscal evasion on selected sectors of the economy. The international organization Transparency International compared corruption in different countries based on the values of the Corruption Perception Index (CPI), which measures the degree of corruption perception from a subjective point of view. Every year the index captures the current view on corruption in the public sector and surveys used for the compilation include issues related to the misuse of public power for private benefit. The Czech Republic has 51 points and is on the 53th position in the rankings, right behind her at the 54th position ranked Slovakia with 50 points. This placement reflects very bad situation in the state administration, poor functioning of political parties and the lack of anti-corruption policy of the state. From the collected data and time series was concluded a conclusion about the high correlation and the correlated indicators of corruption CPI and GDP per capita in PPP. Although among the least corrupt countries in the world in 2014 ranks developed economies such as Denmark, New Zealand and Finland, less sophisticated Georgia was able to stay 50th position ahead of Czech Republic and Slovakia. It is due to the fact that with the advent of the Governments of President Saakashvili and Prime Minister Ivanishvili underwent a major reform of the state administration, including the security forces. This testifies to the fact that the underdevelopment of the economy is far from being the main factor for the elimination of corruption and fiscal evasion in a particular country. Reducing scope of tax evasions and departures of companies to tax havens are aims of the electronic records of sales and changes in the procurement system. Transparency of decisions on the allocation of public contracts should be solved and carry out an inspection utilization of public funds. Limitation of the influence of officials in the public service would undoubtedly help to eliminate small (petty) corruption. More than the total elimination of corruption endeavour currently states on its reduction or elimination of its consequences.

The thesis is focused on international business with wild animals and especially on the factors influencing prices on the market and public opinion about this issues This document is divided in to two parts, theoretical literature research and practical implications.
The theoretical research of the thesis is mainly about characterizing economical terminology concerning specific market, firm, and competition. It explains basic concepts relevant for the given topic. The largest part of this chapter is description of the declaration CITES, which is the basic regulatory power in business with wild animals.
The practical part of the thesis describes the factors influencing prices of this specific commodity on given markets. For easier understanding of market' s complexity and character of the market, entry barriers are being described. Next there are four countries being compared according to economical parameters and five specific animals on which the differences in prices, for import and export, are demonstrated. Thanks to the inside information there are tables describing the most important factors influencing the prices on the market. Provided data is used to derive conclusions of this part of thesis. In the second half of there is the questionnaire aimed at the general public opinion about the breeding exotic animals. The survey results are compared with expert opinion in the sector, then he creates recommendations on possible changes to the system

Heavy metals in Ohře river
Hrnko, Vladimír ; Vach, Marek (advisor) ; Heřmanovský, Martin (referee)
In this thesis, I dealt with the contamination of surface layers of river sediment in areas of Karlovy Vary and Sokolov selected elements and their comparison with data industry unencumbered by sediment from the area Písty and the limits of the International commission for the protection of the Elbe (MKOL).
The sediments were collected from monitored Ohře River Basin in the stretch Sokolov- Karlovy Vary, which runs through the industrial area of Karlovy Vary and Sokolov. In his thesis to prove whether the above flow influenced by industrial activities based on an evaluation of data from the samples. As a measure I chose indicators of heavy metal concentrations in surface sediments of the river flow. The samples were taken quarterly during the year at six sites. I chose three sites in Sokolov and three locations in Karlovy Vary. For comparison, one of the samples taken from the Karlovy Vary in the CHKO Slavkovský les, Svatošské skály. The monitored parameters are pH, Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb, Ni and Zn.
This locality is very ignored in these indicators and the results of my measurements can be an important basis for monitoring further developments in the river.
