Overview Copulation Strategies of European Butterflies
Baráková, Kristýna ; Vrabec, Vladimír (advisor) ; Bubová, Terezie (referee)
Daily butterflies are a very varied and diverse group of the animal kingdom. They are insects with complete metamorphosis and a complex life cycle. Different stages of the development cycle are well known and studied. However, when it comes to the reproduction biology of daily butterflies, there are still a lot of question marks. This is why we decided to compile available information on reproduction strategies of European daily butterflies. This information was gathered by the means of strategically chosen keywords in scientific databases Web of Science (WOS), Scopus and Google Scholar. Based on these sources I compiled general information on reproduction behaviour of butterflies related to the complex processes before copulation, more concretely the mating and selection behaviour of daily butterflies. Consequently I describe concretely the copulation process, where I concentrate mainly on data on the progression of copulation, i.e. duration, minimum age or possible repeated copulation. I also explain general terms connected to copulation, such as paternity or protandry. The following part of the thesis concentrates specifically on copulation strategies of European daily butterflies. For the majority of butterflies I gathered data on mating strategies before copulation, specifically on how males search for females. Furthermore, for som e butterflies I add comprehensive data on duration of copulation, minimum age for copulation or possible repeated copulation. However, the gathered data do not provide sufficient information on the stated topic. It was therefore impossible to realize a statistical evaluation, which was supposed to lead to a recount against the total number of European butterflies. The hypothesis, namely that the vast majority of daily butterflies does not show promiscuous behaviour and copulates only once, has not been affirmed, neither disproven. Scientific publications only scarcely provided concrete information on promiscuous behaviour of daily butterflies. A research on this behaviour would require a more thorough examination. But it would enable us to organize accessible data on butterflies in the Czech Republic.

Posibilities of Physiotherapeutic interventions in children with cerebral palsy
OHNISKOVÁ, Adéla
Physical therapy plays an important part in the process of treatment of this disorder. Which in this case for life. The objective of my thesis was to sum up theoretical knowledge and information on CCP and on physical therapy of children suffering from CCP. The first task was to set up an overview of options and alternatives of physical therapy for children with CCP. The other task was to work out case reports of two children with the CCP diagnosis. Then a therapy plan, based on the knowledge from the theoretical part and on the patient´s examination, was made up. A combination of therapy techniques was proposed (the Reflection Method of Locomotion {--} a method developed by M.D. Vaclav Vojta, Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF), Basal programmes and sub programmes) suitable for a client with regard to his current state, his needs and abilities. The results showed that combination of methods in therapy is beneficial for a positive influence of motoric skills of a child, improvement of motion in particular joints and for a positive mental condition of a patient This thesis might be used as a set of helpful information for physiotherapists in clinical practice, who deal with CCP, and also as a guide for parents of children with the diagnosis of children cerebral palsy.

Overview and analysis of follow-up actions based on nuclear power plants stress-test results in the Czech Republic and world-wide
Ludvík, Lubomír ; bezpečnost, Ondřej Šťastný, Státní úřad pro jadernou (referee) ; Katovský, Karel (advisor)
This thesis deals with the issue of the stress tests as a reaction to Fukushima accident. Nuclear safety and control systems are generally described in different modes. Fukushima accident is analyzed and described in details. Special attention is focused on the final results and lessons learnt as the background for stress tests goals. The main part of the thesis are the stress tests at all NPP in the European Union overview. Scope of tests was focused on resistance to extreme environmental conditions, a complete loss of safety systems and actions with solution of the severe accidents, including reactor core melting and subsequent effects. The Czech NPPs are discussed in detail, the others in particular way. Finally, recommendations that will be implemented within a few years are summarized. It will strengthen the management of severe accidents beyond the design basic events.

The thesis deals with the topic of bank guarantees in the construction industry focusing on the contractor of the construction commission. The aim of this paper is the definition of bank guarantees in legal and economic terms, and on the basis of available literature, and also a proposal for the application of a bank guarantee in construction contracts. This thesis includes an overview of the products offered by national bank institutions in the field of bank guarantees and their comparison. The thesis contains an overview and description of bank guarantees used in the construction industry. The thesis focuses on a bank guarantee for the proper execution of the work (for the correct execution of the contract for work). There is described the progress of the guarantee from the contract for work until the warranty exercise and any dispute over the amount paid under the guarantee. Further, the paper deals with the use of bank guarantees in practice from the point of view of construction companies, focusing on the guarantee for the proper execution of the work. The thesis also describes solutions in the field of bank guarantees of construction companies, ways of surety, credit limits and bank charges for bank guarantees. In conclusion, there are described terms of the bank guarantee in the contract for work for the specific construction contracts and a method of preparation of the bid price for the contract with regard to where the cost appears applying the bank guarantee at the contractor's bid price. The contribution of this thesis is a comprehensive overview of bank guarantees in the construction industry and their application intended for a contractor of the construction commission.

hp-metody konečných prvků adaptivní v prostoru i v čase: Přehled metodologie
Šolín, P. ; Segeth, Karel ; Doležel, I.
We present a new class of self-adaptive higher-order finite element methods (hp-FEM) which are free of analytical error estimates and thus work equally well for virtually all PDE problems ranging from simple linear elliptic equations to complex time-dependent nonlinear multiphysics coupled problems. The methodology was used to solve various types of problems. In this paper we use a nonlinear combustion problem for illustration.

Analysis of the structure and development of expenditure by municipalities in the Czech Republic
ŠTIKOVÁ, Martina
The subject of this diploma thesis is analysis of the structure, value and development of expenditure by municipalities in the CZ with emphasis on municipalities in the South Bohemian Region for the purpose of objectification of local public expenses. The analysis was performed on a representative sample of 179 municipalities within the scope of the South Bohemian Region. The source of data was municipal budgets during the period from 2005 {--} 2007, refined by removal of transfers to own funds. The representative sample was divided into seven size categories according to the number of inhabitants in the municipality. The average annual percentage of six key budget forming expense groups, of the overall current expenditure for each municipality of the representative sample, each size category and collectively for the South Bohemian Region and the whole CZ was expressed (in percent and value) by means of a vertical analysis. The next step was a more detailed analysis of selected budget forming branch classification expense groups (1, 5, 6), sections (33, 34), sub-sections (363) and paragraphs (2212), by means of conversion to requirement indicator unit (for instance per 1 inhabitant, hectare area, km of road). The average annual current expenditure for every group (section, sub-section, paragraph) of the budget per every requirement indicator unit was determined, initially individually for each municipality and subsequently for each of the size categories. The same procedure was applied to the collective current expenditure of the South Bohemian Region and the Czech Republic. The estimates of the fiscal (expenditure) requirements of municipalities and fiscal requirement indexes were also calculated in the interests of dealing with the issue of the size of local public expenditure comprehensively. By mutual comparison of the results, differences in the size of local public expenditure of specific municipalities were revealed, which may be the result of ineffective economic management and therefore require increased attention and more detailed analysis. This diploma thesis provides a comprehensive overview of the structure, value and development of local public expenditure by municipalities in the South Bohemian Region (by means of public inspection), opportunities for increasing efficiency in provision of local public goods and services.
