Relationship of poverty and conflict in international affairs
Gabriel, David ; Dubský, Zbyněk (advisor) ; Druláková, Radka (referee)
This master thesis focuses on a relationship between poverty and conflict. The aim is to analyze poverty as a potential cause of internal conflict. The thesis is divided into two parts. The first part discusses the multidimensional character of poverty, the nature of a nexus between poverty and conflict and introduces modern concepts of economic causes of conflict. The second part tests if higher personal income reduces the probability of internal conflict to emerge. Both phenomena are transformed into a simple mathematical function in order to test their nexus. Characteristics of both regional and universal nature of their relationship are scrutinized. Finally, poverty is not universally believed to be a major cause of civil conflicts. However, poverty is suggested to be a major cause of internal conflicts if personal income is not high enough to satisfy basic human meets. The level of violence, under which conflicts are likely to emerge, is believed to be set at the level of 2$ (of daily income). #English version of the thesis is available per request.#

Modelling of flow over a backward-facing step in streams with various turbulence level
Příhoda, Jaromír ; Sedlář, M.
Turbulent flow over a backward-facing step in streams with a various turbulence level was numerically simulated using software ANSYS CFX-5. Numerical solution carried on with the two-equation SST model and/or with a k-omega based Reynolds stress model was compared with experimental data obtained for three different values of free-stream turbulence level. The predicted length of the recirculation region corresponds well with experimental data but the dependence of the ratio xr/h on free-stream turbulence level is smaller.
