Ambient noise investigation of rock structures in Bohemian Paradise
Müller, Jozef
We carry out non-invasive ambient noise investigation of rock structures in Bohemian Paradise (Bohemian Cretaceous Basin, Czech Republic). The study is focused on two key topics: 1) An in-situ elastic moduli estimate of competent, horizontally deposited sandstone layers. This is done by performing an ambient noise array measurement. The recording is processed with f-k array analysis, from which frequency-dependent Love and Rayleigh wave dispersion curves as well as the Rayleigh wave ellipticity are retrieved. The data are inverted for P- and S-wave velocity profiles, from which the Young's and shear modulus are successfully estimated. 2) Study of local response of Kapelník rock tower. We analyse a dataset of ambient noise recordings from the top of the tower and from its foot. Information about tower oscillation frequencies and directions, together with amplification ratios, are retrieved from particle motion polarisation analysis and from site-to-reference spectral ratios. The Euler-Bernoulli beam theory is finally used to interpret the measured data using the elastic moduli estimated from the noise array measurement. Keywords: Bohemian Paradise, rock tower, seismic ambient noise, seismic surface waves

Possibilities and limits of co-operation of rural municipalities. Case study of municipalities in the region of the Bohemian Paradise
Fučíková, Eva ; Perlín, Radim (advisor) ; Herová, Irena (referee)
The presented thesis focuses on the phenomenon of the cooperation of rural municipalities. The cooperative mechanism is one of possible ways for small municipalities to solve problems resulting from their limited financial, material and human resources. The cooperation with neighbouring municipalities or other actors of spatial development allows them to realize projects and activities, that they otherwise could not realize themselves because of the costs or spatial extent of the project or activity beyond their territory. The main objective of the thesis is to classify several types of the cooperation in rural region and to apply these classifications to the model region. First the fundamental theoretical background and external and internal factors affecting the cooperation of municipalities are discussed. Further several classifications of the cooperation were compiled based on theoretical findings and recent research results. As research method, applied in model region, guided interviews with representatives of the selected rural municipalities were chosen. The first two initial hypotheses of the thesis were confirmed within the selected rural municipalities in the region of the Bohemian Paradise: The formality of the cooperation is growing, respectively its intensity is decreasing according to growing...

Educational use of geological park Czech Paradise in teaching upper primary school biology
Zrůstová, Klára ; Teodoridis, Vasilis (advisor) ; Skýbová, Jana (referee)
The presented diploma thesis has an educational character and tries to find a way how to teach geology more attractive at primary schools. It includes authorial proposals for field trip routes and school experiments that can be implemented in lessons or within other educational school activity during school year. The field trips are built to be carried out in the geological park of Bohemian Paradise because of its natural wealth giving many possibilities to be used in teaching geology and other related fields of natural sciences. The experiments are designed to be realized during school lessons, therefore they are meant to be as little as possible time consuming and also the necessary material is supposed to be easily available. A theoretical part of the diploma thesis contains a summary of available natural datasets about the geological park of Bohemian Paradise, a review of the educational principles for organising of the field trips, creating worksheets, experiments and games in teaching process. The principles of creating concept maps are also included. An integral part of the thesis is authorial research with students and teachers via questionnaire survey proving that experiments and field trips are an indispensable component of teaching process and appropriate motivational tools at primary...

Permeability of sandstone surfaces and water flow in shallow zone of ruiniform sandstone landscape
Sysel, Ondřej ; Slavík, Martin (advisor) ; Tesař, Miroslav (referee)
Water in porous rocks (e.g. sandstone) plays a fundamental role in their disintegration. However, the places where water enters the sandstone rocks are somewhat overlooked. At two sites in the Český ráj region, I use Karsten tube to measure capillary water absorption (CWA) of natural sandstone exposures and, using TDR (Time Domain Reflectometry) method, I study movement of water in a shallow zone of ruiniform sandstone landscape. The CWA differed up to four orders of magnitude at a distance of tens of meters, mostly depending on the type of the surface. The highest CWA was measured at highly weathered surfaces, the second most absorbent were less weathered surfaces covered with a biologically-initiated rock crust. The horizontal surfaces on the tops of the rock formations were even less absorbent, probably due to clogging by fine particles from soil. Surfaces covered with iron crust were the least absorbent. The differences between those surfaces are significant. After simulated infiltration, the maximum rate of the propagation of the wet front in the sandstone was from 5,5.10-6 do 1,9.10-4 m.s-1 measured by TDR. The water propagated at this rate only to a certain depth (the first tens of cm), but then the propagation stopped or slowed down rapidly. From a long-term measurement of volumetric...

The resistance of Pavel Glos during the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia
Kučera, Jan ; Županič, Jan (advisor) ; Zicha, Zbyněk (referee)
Main goal of this work is to describe the resistance activities of Pavel Glos during era of Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia from the available sources. To put this activities to the context of all anti-Nazi resistance and to evaluate their benefits. Also map its transformations that were determined by the current situation, needs and objectives of the resistance movement. This aspect is much more important for Pavel Glose, who took part in resistance activity for the whole period of the Nazi occupation. The intention of this work is also to remind the personality of Pavel Glos, who acted as the parson of the Unitas Fratrum in Turnov. Although he is virtually unknown today, he was one of the prominent figures of the Czech anti-Nazi resistance. Among his close collaborators were Vladimír Krajina, Jaroslav Valenta and Rudolf Mareš. He also participated in the collaboration with the paratroop groups Antimony and Barium, which were sent to the Protectorate by the London Exile Government. The archive documents from the National Archives, Archives of Security Forces, the Military Central Archive and the Archive of the Unitas Fratrum, as well as historical and memoir literature were used during the processing of the work.
