Povrchová aktivita osmi běžných druhů chvostoskoků ve smrkových lesích a na pasekách po kůrovcové kalamitě v Národním parku Šumava, Česká republika
Brůhová, Jindřiška ; Rusek, Josef
Surface activity of eight common epigeic species of Collembola were studied in spruce forests, dead spruce forests and clearings in the Šumava National Park, South Bohemia, Czech Republic: .i.Lepidocyrtus lignorum, Leidocyrus cyaneus, Pogonognathellus longicornis, Tomocerus minutus, Tetracanthella stachi, Allacma fusca, Entomobrya nivalis, Dicyrtomina minuta./i.. Five pitfall traps were exposed at each of the 9 sites in the summer and autumn periods to study the impact of spruce forest die-off after bark beetle attack (dead forests) and on clearings. Material comprising 79435 specimens was evaluated in this study using the non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis test for comparing Collembola activity between the sites and seasons. Complete linkage (Euclidean distances) cluster analysis was used for comparing the collembolan activity in all nine sites.

Svobodová, Ludmila ; Vorlová, Marie (advisor) ; Poláčková, Iva (referee)
The bachelor work "Social therapy workhop - the application of the Quality standards of social service" is focused on a Diaconia of the Evangelical Church of Czech Brethren activity of the Social therapy workshop in term of the creation of the Quality standards of social services. The main aim of the work is to answer the basic question: How a process of the application of the generally expressed Quality standards of social services into activities of the Social therapy workshop can procceed? The first part of the work is devoted to the chosen Social therapy workshop - its position in a system of social services, and a characterization of this particular service. The second part targets a creation of the Quality standards of social services. The work demonstrates particular cases how the workers deal with the generally formalized Quality standards, what questions they try to answer, and finally how a target group of clients influences their work. In the third part, the consequences of the common work on the Standards of the particular service on a basis of the service workers survey are described , i.e. we can find what the workers think about collective works.

Kesner, Petr ; Venzara, Jan (advisor) ; Chytráčková, Jitka (referee)
 Title: Comparison of coordination and condition abilities of young karate youth and the other school youth.  Goals: To compare level of coordination and condition abilities by three groups of probands from the same place of a small town, where the first group regularly attends Kyokushinkai trainings, the second group regularly sports and the third group does not any sport in any sport club.  Methods: The whole group was divided into 3 subgroups: sportsmen, who have trained fullcontact karate - school of Kyoukushinkai, sportsmen, who do actively any sport (football, floorball, table tennis, et.) and youth, who do not any organized sport activity. I measure the motory efficiency by the UNIFITTTEST (6-60) and level of coordination abilities by project of Kohoutek et. (2005).  Results: It was proved that regular sport activity has a positive influence to a condition and coordination ability. Also it was proved that youth practicing regular trainings of martial arts of Kyokushinkai karate have higher level of tested motory abilities than their school mates who practice other organized sport. It is obvious that karate training and other sport activities have a positive influence to a motory ability level. I consider karate training to be a sport which develops complexly coordition and condition...

Effect of partial replacement of Portland cement by diatomaceous earth on selected parameters of cement mortar
Rousková, Jana ; Sedlmajer, Martin (referee) ; Rovnaníková, Pavla (advisor)
The subject of this thesis is selected parameters cement mortars with partial replacement of Portland cement diatomaceous earth. This work provides information on the basic properties of diatomaceous earth and its deposits with a focus on deposit in Borovany. From the properties is very important pozzolanic activity due to the high content of amorphous silica of this soil. The main use of diatomaceous earth is in the area filtration and is used widely as a nutritional supplement. In the building industry, diatomite can be applied as an admixture to mortar and concrete, where it can, with its abilities, improve some physical mechanical properties. In the experimental part was diatomaceous earth, in its raw and calcined form, tested as admixture for cement pastes and mortars. The main criterion for evaluating these composites was bulk density, flexural and compressive strength. It was also investigated mineralogical composition, microstructure, freeze–thaw resistance and sulfate resistance.

Speculation on oil markets and its impact on commodity's price
Melcher, Ota ; Taušer, Josef (advisor) ; Baláž, Peter (referee) ; Müller, Štěpán (referee)
This study aims to analyse the precrisis period on the oil markets with a primary objective of assessing the role of speculation in the commodity's price development and its volatility. First it depicts the rapidly increasing speculative activity on the futures market together with the parallel oil price surge. The speculation is initially proxied by non-commercial traders' positions and subsequently quantified by Working's T-index. The paper then uses speculative traders' positions and both spot and futures prices to test for Granger causality within the framework of VAR models. For the sake of consistency it also evaluates causal links between speculation and inventories level. Further the study investigates the speculation impact on volatility of oil prices by employing various approaches in volatility quantification including GARCH models. Contrary to expectations we find that the speculatio's impact on both prices and their volatility is rather insignificant. In the last chapter we therefore seek for an explanation of the oil price developments by examining the market fundamentals. The interaction of supply and demand finally gives substantial evidence for understanding the price developments in the precrisis period.

An Athletic Club
Hmirová, Marcela ; Vindušková, Jitka (advisor) ; Krátký, Petr (referee)
AN ATHLETIC CLUB Thesis objectives: The aim of this diplomy thesis is to provide a description of my work with an athletic club. The objectives are organization, contents of the activities and children's reactions. Methods: While working on the thesis I used these methods: observation, symposium, discussion and description. From my point of view the most effective method was a discussion. Children could express their attitude towards the given activity. Results: Children of the age 6 to 9 rather play group games and activities. Those 10 and 11 years old prefer competing with each other, where they can compare their performance with friends. Keywords: athletics, an athletic club, exercise, children, competition, game

Comparison of sensitivity of Bacillus subtilis and Clostridium difficile against selected chemical ingredients.
Šlitrová, Barbora ; Ing.Veronika Holá, Ph.D. (referee) ; Omelková, Jiřina (advisor)
Sporicidal activity of disinfectants is tested on Bacillus subtilis spores according to ČSN EN 13704 standard. Until December 2007, 10 countries encountered outbreaks and 7 additional countries had endemic cases of Clostridium difficile-associated disease due to hypervirulent strain C. difficile PCR ribotype 027. This outbreak of CDAD with increased severity and mortality is spread as typical nosocomial infection. Clostridium difficile spores can persist on dry surfaces for 5 months. Therefore it is important to compare the effectiveness of disinfectants on both strains and find out whether Bacillus subtilis is the only proper microorganism for testing the sporicidal activity.
