Determination of content substances for selected species and varieties of roses.
Slavíková, Eva ; Sus, Josef (advisor) ; Súkeníková, Tereza (referee)
This bachelor's work is focused on comparing the most significant content substance, vitamin C, in fruits of chosen rose kinds species and varieties. Herbal products are often seen by people as products of "second choice", when failure of allopathic treatment occurs, which is focused especially on suppressing symptoms of illness, but it ignores health of the human body as whole. That's why are herbal products often alternative for therapy of chronic diseases. The base of this work is extensive literary research and results of laboratory measurings. Literary part of this work includes description of botanical classification of rose plants. There is stated basic characteristic of individual rose species and their morphological features. In following chapters is composed overview of effective substances in rose fruits and their effect on human health. In practical part of this work are included results of laboratory tests for determining ascorbic acid content for chosen samples of rose species and it also includes results of weighing and measuring of fruit samples of chosen rose species. There are also stated chosen rose species and shortly their origin and description, in the beginning of practical part. For practical part were chosen samples of species. Results of practical part are compiled into statistic tables and graphs and it confirms high content of ascorbic acid in rose fruits. This content is in range of cca 300 - 900 mg.100 g-1. Due to growing interest in alternative treatment options and "clean" natural product, it can be assumed, that many plants of Rosaceae family will keep its place in treatment practice. Those plants will be used not only for treatment of acute and chronic diseases, but also for cosmetic products production, thanks to its large effects and process options.

Total contents and speciation of arsenic and selenium in plants growing in soils with different physico-chemical properties
Tremlová, Jana ; Száková, Jiřina (advisor) ; Vymazal, Jan (referee)
This dissertation thesis deals with uptake, accumulation and transformation of arsenic and selenium in plants growing on soils with different chemico-physical soil properties. The contents of arsenic were investigated in 99 wild plant species, coming from 27 different families and 6 different vegetables growing in arsenic contaminated soils. The results suggest that there are species-specific mechanisms which protects certain plants from the excessive uptake of arsenic from the soil. On the other hand, there are plants using a strategy of accumulation, which theoretically may increase the risk of arsenic entry into the food chain, whether through grazing cattle and wildlife or through consumption of vegetables growing on arsenic contaminated soils. The most prevalent arsenic compounds are AsV and AsIII. Other arsenic compounds occure as minor species. An important finding was detection of arsenobetaine in Plantago lanceolata L. and Carex praecox Schreb ..
The contents of selenium were examined in 73 species of wild plants, coming from 29 different families. The results suggest that naturally low levels of selenium in the soil of selected locations along with a low capability of selenium uptake via collected plant species lead to the low content of selenium in plant biomass which may contribute to selenium deficient throughout the food chain. Foliar application of selenate on wild plant communities and on some types of vegetables in our case Brassica oleracea var. italica can have a positive impact on increasing the selenium content in the aboveground biomass of these plants and by extension, increase the selenium content in the human diet. Dominant selenium compounds in the aboveground biomass of the analyzed plants were SeVI and selenomethionine, with variable proportion of other commonly occurring organic selenium compounds, which is mainly affected by plant species.

In the name of family and work: Eduard Bazika's memoirs and their interpretation
Chalupová, Alice ; Randák, Jan (referee) ; Hlavačka, Milan (advisor)
Eduard (Edvard) Bazika was born on 19. 9. 1830 at Olešná near Rakovník. During his lifetime he was a well-known builder of railways, a specialist writer and external examiner at the Czech Technical University. He has bequeathed to us his comprehensive memoirs, which unveil the origins and formation of the Czech technical intelligentsia with their public and private opinions. Martin Bazika's father (1794-1864) was a castle gardener. In order to provide a good standard of living for his large family he moved with his wife and four children from Olešná to nearby Krušovice in 1837. In ducal service, he became famous especially as a grower of fruit trees and ornamental plants. He made it possible for all his sons to gain a vocational education. Yet, it was only his son Eduard who attained a higher technical education. He attended the main and lower secondary school between 1840-1844 at Rakovník and the upper secondary and the Prague Estates' Polytechnics between 1845 and 1849. He was actively involved in the Revolution of 1848 in the ranks of the Student Legion. Yet, he merely observed the All Saints' Day struggles from the countryside, as his parents had requested his return to Krušovice. In 1849 he successfully completed his technical studies. For a short period he worked in the Křivoklátsko area for the...

Kouřilová, Vendula ; Nováková, Eva (referee) ; Nováková, Eva (referee) ; Kolář, Radim (advisor)
The subject of this master thesis is a design of wine house which comes together with restaurant and accommodation in Strazovice near Kyjov. It includes design study and all the detailed drawings of the building. The building is designed with three services - winery, restaurant and accommodation. Winery is divided into separate rooms for wine processing, finishing and wine aging, also storage, distribution and sale of wine. Canteen service includes kitchen with accessories, restaurant with dining, separated lounge, vaulted cellar and room for degustation. Lounge, cellar and degustation room is primary determined for different corporate events, conferences, weddings, family events and others. For building were chosen descending lands at the edge of Strazovice.. The main reason for this decision is the view that this place provides because of its higher position. Also this village is a part of region, for which wine production is typical. The shape of the object is rectangular and consists of three floors. Two upper floors are receding with comparison to the first floor. This formed a part of terrace which is connected with the oval part on pillars. Basement is situated completely below ground, only the south side is partly uncovered. Construction is made of reinforced concrete. Ground floors are with ventilated frontage. Frontage of the first floor is covered with wooden cladding, and frontage of the second floor is covered with plaster. Vertical constructions are made of lime-sand blocks and horizontal constructions are reinforced concrete. The roof is built of wooden trusses with arched upper part. On the roof there are installed photovoltaic panels for electricity which is used in the building. Rainwater is held in tank, servers as a water supply for the building. Wastewater is depurated in small sewage plant which is further conducted into the building. Other wastewater is captured in the sump. Projection of the winery emphasis, inter alia, on static and

Project of family farm as closed economic unit
Jakubčík, Václav ; Pazderů, Kateřina (advisor) ; Zdeněk, Zdeněk (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with the family farm, which deals with fast growing trees cultivation. Business plan for my firm is the operation of the cogeneration unit and ensuring its self-sufficiency. The intention is that the family farm should produce more than half the biomass for cogeneration units.
Diploma thesis works with providing services in processing of logging residues, removing seeding trees and transportation. All this in order to obtain sufficient quantities of the commodity for the operation of boiler plants with cogeneration unit. Further outputs are addressed including the use of waste heat. Necessary support in planning the boiler room is the SWOT analysis. Conclusion of SWOT analysis clearly support the business plan for hte operation of a family farm.
Another key factor, that motivates me to expand current boiler room is a continuously rising electricity price. I suppose part of the generated electric power will be used for wood drying, the rest of the energy power is supposed to be sold to CEZ. Revenue from electricity sales should improve my Cash-Flow.
An important source of energy is a waste hot water that will be used for heating lumber drying, rabbit slaughterhouses of Rabbit firm. The rest of hot water waste will be used for heating workshops and residential buildings around.
The main incentive for founding a family farm is request to have enough fuel for the cogeneration unit also in case of external source shortage. The target is to ensure fluent economic operation of whole technological equipment.
My target is an overall economic assessment of the project for extracting of biomass from various sources. After an overall assessment we got conclusion, that the project can be profitable especially due to own production. Services provided by my farm creates significant additional value.
For family farm founding motivates me also unemployment of several family members.

Plants and Animals Family Covered by CITES in Oriental Medicine .
Galuszková, Ewa ; Klusoňová, Hana (advisor) ; Říhová, Pavla (referee)
Traditional Chinese medicine finds in Czech Republic many fans and this trend is still developing. More and more people are seeking help in Chinese medicine specialists. A large amount of people also uses the TCM preparations as a part of self-medication, as a wide offer of TCM can be found on internet. However, it must be kept in mind that the natural sources are narrow. Some plant and animal species are endangered of dying out mainly because of rising international trade which concerns them. Therefore there is an urgent need to regulate this large international trade and not let to exterminate some plant and animal species. This is the main task of the international organization CITES, which very thoroughly and effectively controls the trade with endangered species, which are registered according to the degree of threat in attachments I, II and III of the CITES agreement. Obviously also the import to EU and the Czech Republic is regulated and under control. From all the companies, which offer the TCM preparations on the Czech web sites, which are mentioned in this assignment, only the Tcmbohemia company (www.tcmbohemia.cz) offers two products which contain plant-ingredients protected by CITES. These are 039 - called "větrem zbořený altán", which contains rhizome of a plant Gastrodia elata and...

Parasites in nutria (Myocastor coypus)
Urbanová, Beáta ; Langrová, Iva (advisor) ; Nechybová, Stanislava (referee)
The aim of this work was published data concerning parasites coypu (Myocastor coypus).
The first part describes the anatomy and the ethology of a coypu. Nutria is a relatively large rodent, native from South America. It lives near the water areas in small family groups which are lead by the old female. Its body is adapted to the life in water. Nutria is herbivores, which eats littoral and aquatic plants. It is a polyestric animal which gives birth to about six nidifugous pups. The nutria is the non-native species in the Czech Republic. The first import of nutrias was held in 1924 from Argentina. After that they escaped from the farms and due to they got into the wild.
The second part of this work characterizes parasites that have been diagnosed in nutrias. Protozoa diseases cause the coccidia and Toxoplasma. The coccidia are parasites of the genus Eimeria and belong to the most dangerous diseases for nutrias. The trematodes (Fasciola hepatica) also occur in nutrias and causing obturation and destruction of the liver. Anoplocephala sp., Hymenolepis octocornata and Rodentolepis avetjanae from tapeworms parasitize in nutria. Additionally nutrias serve as intermediate hosts of Echinococcus granulosus, Multiceps serialis and Taenia tenuicollis. The diseases, caused by parasitic nematodes from class Nematodes, are caused by parasites Trichinella spiralis, Trichuris myocastoris, the worms of genus Strongyloides (Strongyloides myopotami), and the worms from superfamily Trichostrongyloidae (Trichostrongylus retortaeformis, T. myocastoris). Among the most ectoparasitic diseases frequently belong the scabies (Myocoptes myocastori, Chirodiscoides caviae) and Demodex spp.

Isolation of vacuoles from Scutellaria baicalensis Georgii suspension cultures
Ševčíková, Šárka ; Martin, Jan (advisor) ; Dušek, Jaroslav (referee)
10. ABSTRACT Šárka Ševčíková Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové, Heyrovského 1203, 500 05 Hradec Králové Isolation of vacuoles from Scutellaria baicalensis Georgii suspension cultures Diploma thesis Supervisor: Pharm.Dr. Jan Martin, Ph.D. Page Count: 52 The goal of the thesis was to develop methodology for isolation of vacuoles from suspension cultures of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgii of the Lamiaceae family. The original concept was based on a method used at the Division of Pharmacognosy, Leiden University, Holland. This method proved unsuitable. After getting acquainted with available papers concerning methods of isolation of vacuoles from miscellaneous plant species and after performing a series of experiments, we have managed to introduce such method of our own which utilizes Ficoll gradient. Preexisting methods of isolation of vacuoles varied in data on lytic enzymes, incubation time, lytic solution composition and density gradient, too. We managed to optimize the individual steps, which led to successful isolation of vacuoles. The resulting method makes it possible to isolate vacuoles in a relatively short time and in sufficient quality for further experiments. Keywords: Baikal Skullcap, Scutellaria, vacuoles, flavonoids, ficoll, gradient, isolation of vacuoles
