Comparison of Regional Associations of LAGs in Pilsen Region and South Bohemian Region
ROUBALOVÁ, Tereza
This thesis focuses on regional associations of Local Action Groups (LAGs) in two regions and examines their contributions to cooperation with LAGs. The general premise is the existence of county networks that are the link between LAGs and the National LAG Network. The aim of the thesis is to find out whether the existence of regional associations is beneficial for the activities of LAGs and whether LAGs support LEADER principles in the territory and thus contribute to rural development. The thesis also examines the differences in the functioning of associations in two regions, where one association operates as an informal association and the other has legal personality.

Vocal ontogenesis in grey parrots in comparison to humans
Roubalová, Tereza ; Lindová, Jitka (advisor) ; Schneiderová, Irena (referee)
Human speech is considered to be unique means of communication. The beginnings of human vocalization, which develops into the speech, however, have some patterns or principles which can also be found in animal communication. It has been discovered that there are similarities between humans and animals in terms of social organization, neural control, cognition and function of vocal signals. Moreover, it seems that birds, parrots specifically, have closer parallels with humans in these respects than with other primates. Vocal ontogeny was, however, at least in parrots, investigated only marginally. Therefore it has become the subject of this study. African grey parrots (Psittacus erithacus) show a wide range of cognitive abilities and are thus suitable species for comparison with humans. The aim of this study was to map the early vocal development of African grey parrots until age of 11 weeks. Then it was possible to compare it theoretically with the early vocal development of children. The repertoire was mapped using video recordings of four fledglings of feral African grey parrots, which are in possession of FHS UK Prague. The recordings were analysed acoustically and visually with audio software Sound Forge Pro 11 and Sound Forge Audio Studio 10. After identifying the repertoire we used stage...
