Wayusa as a tool for local and community development in Ecuador
Hrušovský, Tadeáš
This diploma thesis is dealing with the topic of Ilex guayusa (wayusa) plant as a tool for the sustainable development of regions and communities in Ecuador. Goal is to determine whether wayusa, as an agricultural commodity, can be used for the communities in researched area of Ecuador for sustainable development and what role does commercialization and certification play in it. Literature review presents basic terminology of sustainable development of the communities in similar regions across the world in connection mainly to the agricultural commodities to understand how they can affect specific communities. Also, topics of cash-crops, novel food, certification, and commercialization are given and their role in the process of sustainable development. Research consists of the data analysis from the researched area of Gualaquiza, Macas and Tena, based on the semi-structured interviews to show perception of the wayusa in the local communities, its importance, in what state of the commercialization and certification is this commodity and impact of international companies and tourism. Results are that wayusa is mostly not perceived by local as a commodity with enough economic impact to the communities, but based on the findings, demand from developed markets is high and can secure income if the community is focusing on the external market (export). Certification is used only in limited amount mostly in more developed areas (Tena) as it is expensive to cover from only local market resources. Potential for improvement lays at the cooperation with developed markets, more commercialization, usage of voluntary certification and involvement of the tourists in agro-tourism.

Využití flotační hlušiny ve stavebnictví
Chobot, Marian
This Thesis, entitled Utilization of Flotation tailings in the Construction Business, has been formulated and developed in the Darkov and ČSM Coal Mines. All the findings acquired in the abovementioned mines will be used as basic information for the future utilization of this fine-grained waste, which is a by-product of black coal processing. While developing and writing this Thesis, I was allowed to observe the processing at both the Darkov and ČSM Coal Mines. The theoretical part of this Thesis is dedicated to the description of processing of black coal, from the moment of extraction to the point of expedition or storage appropriate storage areas. Flotation tailings are composed of fine-grained waste created during flotation processing of black coal. The flotation tailings are deposited (floated) into an assigned depository area - the Pilňok tailings pond. The theoretical part of the Thesis also deals with the consequences of coal extraction, which impact the natural environment, and with reparatory actions undertaken to alleviate such consequences. Finally, a chapter within the theoretical part is also dedicated to the possibilities of utilization of flotation tailings, followed by the legislative framework that governs the processing of flotation tailings and an associated certification process. The practical part of the Thesis lists the results of flotation tailings sample examination, which is essential for product certification. The Conclusion evaluates the examination results and the requirements of the Cihelna Polom s.r.o. (Polom Brick Factory, ltd.) with regard to the future long-term utilization of flotation tailings in the production of brick products.
