The Princ and the Gardener
Poljaková, Terézia ; Ryška, Pavel (referee) ; Lungová, Barbora (advisor)
The bachelor's thesis, which is a comic called The Prince and the Gardener, is inspired by the symbolism of transition and research into the queer ecology. Queer Ecology can be understood as a link between queer theory and critical environmentalism. Queer ecology aims to combat any divisions, such as the imaginary boundaries between our body and outside environment, humans and non-human animals, masculine and feminine or life and not life. In this text, my aim is to find and expand the connections of queer theories with the natural sciences as well as with my own work.

Environment-Friendly Housing in Rural Areas
Čáslava, Petr ; RNDr.Jiří Svoboda,CSc.,DSc. (referee) ; Hudec, Mojmír (referee) ; Gaillyová, Yvonna (referee) ; Urbášková, Hana (advisor)
While I spent 7 years of study, experience and dedication to this work, the building construction has passed evolution from construction boom to contemporary building crisis. Demand for cheap building construction, materials and family housing increased sharply. Energy prices are rising every year... It seems that we will all have to deal with our essential task today or in the near future . This task is mean to prevent the current rate of degradation and destruction of our planet's climate and our environment. In this point of view, it looks the question of energy-saving construction very topical. By entering the study was to examine the possibilities of environmental friendly housing in rural areas in terms of environmental issues. My hypothesis was if can I determine the suitable candidate for the construction of passive houses themselves by comparing their characteristic of pre-defined construction samples. My objective is to offer builders and designers overview of suitable building systems with the possibility to compare the various factors influencing the decision on the selection of a builder´s construction for a house. The thesis presents the comparison of seven structural systems as a basic element of architecture. In the implementation of energy-efficient house is an architectural form often conditioned by structure. For this reason it is necessary to offer this kind of overview with options and parameters of individual building systems, which can then be used by architect to design a house for the builder - free and easy realization of his own, let´s say DIY (do it yourself). For builders (mean investors) of DIY houses is economy and finance a crucial question, therefore, for this reason I will evaluate suitable building system which is relative performance vs. price in the end. It is necessary to take into account the architecture of the house and especially the space layout and design and the attitude with the context of the rural areas environment. My pupose was to prove that good architectural design can be used with of low-cost, energy-saving and environmental friendly house built in DIY way.

Walking through the landscape, picking herbs together
Bernadová, Antonie ; Johnová, Martina (referee) ; Lungová, Barbora (advisor)
One goal of the work is to update herbalist practice for the current context of possible futures from a queer ecological perspective - to present a guide that can be read through the lens of inclusive prepperism. Furthermore, it strives to record and map the solidarity and community uses of herbs, mushrooms and woody plants in the author's social connections. The work is viewed in the context of collective care, resilience and its possibilities. Thematically, the work is straddled by the successive branching of intersectional contexts, an assemblage of media, memories and experiences. It is a compendium of recipes for working with herbs, mushrooms and woody plants collected among friends, supplemented by recipes from personal practice. The recipes are interwoven with stories, interviews, testimonials and experiences. The work is a multimedia c It takes the form of a digitized book. The text is complemented by original illustrations, audio content and video. To increase accessibility, the book will be freely available on the internet.

Multi-purpose Building, Jana Babaka, Brno
Kolářová, Eva ; Jelínek, Petr (referee) ; Kolář, Radim (advisor)
Project's goal is to test the large buildings' design options in regards to permanently sustainable construction. The author's aim is to design energy efficient multipurpose building, with minimal negative effects on environment. The positive impact on environment is visible on the preference of natural materials used in construction. External constructions of thermal conductivity coefficient at the level of passive standard are designed using objects of renewable energy. The location in Brno has been chosen for the proposed building, specifically the location known as brownfields. Lot is accessible from the street of Jan Babak, where public transport is available. The shape of the lot is in the form of incomplete oval with internal open atrium. The administrative part of the building takes half of the area with the rest of the area being used for other businesses, such as fitness centre and restaurant. Garages are proposed to be located underneath the main building, which is built on rigid structure. This rigid structure is a steel skeleton one with linked ceilings. The foundation of building is on stilt. The roof is of a flat type with variable slope, its structure and slope are of metal construction. Claddings are designed in the form of wooden structure filled with straw bales, the exterior is thermally insulated using fibreboard thermal insulation. Inner tract facade is proposed to be panelled with wooden planks. Photovoltaic panels will be placed both from the south and southeast of the outer oval. The rest of the facade will be panelled with grate for creepers. Only environment-friendly sources of energy are considered for the proposed building. Heating and cooling is based on the heat pump air-water system; using the rainwater as an example of renewing natural energy. The surroundings of the building are designed as meadows for of infiltration of rainwater. The proposed building has been assessed in terms of environmental sustainabilit

Social, economic, and environmental impact of high-speed rails in the Czech Republic: Expected impacts of high-speed rails on the Ústí nad Labem region
TOMS, Tomáš
The commissioning of the first high-speed lines in the second half of the 20th century not only breathed new life into the receding railway, but this mode of transport has become the backbone of transport in many developed countries around the world. Among its greatest advantages are both the minimal environmental impact and the associated socio-economic benefits. This thesis introduces the issue of high-speed lines in the North Bohemian region of Ústí nad Labem and examines the expected impacts of the new infrastructure from the perspective of residents and passengers, as well as from the perspective of the experts in charge of planning and building high-speed lines in the country.

The key terms needed for following description of activities are defined and the thesis doesn't avoid the topic of critics of CSR. In the next part, Tesco Stores Czech Republic is introduced to be the subject of a case study. Only years 2009 and 2010 were selected for the purpose of this study. Nevertheless, this period is rich for wide range of CSR activities. Described activities will be separately evaluated using the three pillars of CSR in summarized in conclusion. In the end, some of possible improvements of communication activities will be proposed.
