Žežulková, Denisa ; Hroníková, Linda (advisor) ; Bártová, Klára (referee)
Previous studies have shown that we can measure personality not only of humans but of animals as well including domestic cats (Felis catus). Results of studies have also shown that personality of the domestic cat might be influenced by various factors e.g. age, gender or breed of the cat. Although only a few studies were focused on association between owner personality and behavioral profile of their cat. The aim of our study was to explore association between the personality of the owners and the behavioral profile of their cats assessed by their owners. We used correlations for analysing data. The sample included 404 respondents (women), who filled in a Czech translation of BFI-2 and a Czech translation of the Feline Five Questionnaire for their cats (the cat sample consists of 194 males and 210 females).

Zhodnocení problematiky vlivu velkých šelem na chov hospodářských zvířat
Smékalová, Markéta
Abstract This research evaluates the impact of large carnivores - brown bear, wolf and eurasien lynx to livestock. In some European countries, carnivores colonize the territory where they were wiped out, or were pushed out. In the last decade, conflicts between predators and livestock are growing. However, there are differences between different regions and between different species. In some areas, attacks by predators are rather sporadic. In countries where populations of larger carnivores are greater, (eg in Norway) or in countries with a low occurrence of natural prey are damage to livestock signicifant. There are many preventive methods. The most effective seems to be closing livestock for the night and maximum control of dogs and people. Compensation programs are in most countries, but by themselves do not solve the heart of the matter.
