Attitudes of the Czech Public to Climate Change on Earth – September/November 2022
Hanzlová, Radka
In a survey conducted from the beginning of September to the beginning of November 2022, the CVVM SOÚ AV ČR dealt with the long-standing and highly debated topic of climate change on Earth. We were interested in what the Czech public thinks about this topic. Just under three-fifths (58%) of respondents are somewhat worried about the impacts of climate change (14% very worried, 44% somewhat worried), while 39% are not worried. Just under two-fifths (39%) of respondents are interested in the issue of climate change, with 6% 'very interested' and 33% 'somewhat interested'. More than a quarter (28%) of respondents think that human activity contributes 'a lot' to climate change, another 32% think it contributes 'a lot' and just under a third (32%) think it contributes 'a little'. Only 3% of respondents believe that human activity is 'not contributing at all' to climate change. 35% of respondents feel personally responsible for climate change on Earth, while the majority (61%) do not feel personally responsible.

Modal Split in Major Czech Cities: Thorough Analysis and Proposal of Policies Leading to Less Car-Dependent Urban Mobility
Bystřický, Vojtěch ; Ščasný, Milan (advisor) ; Šťastná, Lenka (referee)
This thesis focuses on examining the modal split in the five largest Czech cities. Using data from the first nationwide survey on travel behavior in the Czech Republic called Česko v pohybu, the author identifies the main factors which influence the mode choice of inhabitants of Czech cities. The data were evaluated using multinomial logistic regression. Since modal split studies of a large extent are mostly conducted in Western Europe, the United States or Asia-Pacific region, the main contribution of this thesis is to shed some light also on the travel behavior in the Central Europe, more precisely in the largest cities of the Czech Republic. The author analyzes the impact of socio-demographic variables, such as the respondents' age, education level or household income, as well as the importance of the variables related to the trip, such as trip purpose or trip distance. Further, the author also provides comparison of the travel behavior between the examined cities. Among other findings, the author finds that the entitlement to discounted public transport coupons through the ownership of a discount card does not have a significant effect on the probability of using public transport. Further, the results also show that higher education level does not lead to greater use of ecologically friendly...

Differences in behavior and sociability depending on environmental enrichment in a rat model of autism
Tučková, Klára ; Petrásek, Tomáš (advisor) ; Svoboda, Jan (referee)
Autism spectrum disorders are among the most severe congenital neurodevelopmental disorders. Even though many known risk factors can induce ASD, the exact etiology is not known. This thesis focuses on different approaches to studying ASD in rodent models. The main goal of the experimental part of the thesis was to examine the manifestations of ASD in a rat genetic model of tuberous sclerosis (so-called Eker rat) and to determine the effect of different housing environments on autistic phenotype. The animals were studied for one year. We performed three series of behavioral tests at the age of 45, 90 and 365 days. Testing was focused on assessment of exploration, anxiety, and sociality. Our results showed that the activity in the open field was higher in young Eker rats. The anxiety displayed in the elevated plus maze was reduced in rats kept in an enriched environment. In social interaction, the enriched environment significantly increased self-grooming. We observed less complex self-grooming in Eker rats housed without environmental enrichment. Ultrasound communication varied significantly with age. We confirmed that the enriched environment had a significant effect on the behavior of rats, but we observed no strong differences in behavior caused by the Eker genotype. Key words: autism, Eker,...

Lead in the environment and its toxic effects
KUŘÁTKOVÁ, Klára
This diploma thesis on the topic "Lead in the environment and its toxic effect" is focused on the characteristic of toxic heavy metals, on the lead contamination of the environment and also on the toxic effect of lead. This diploma thesis also includes an insight into the individual components of the environment. The diploma thesis also contains a chapter about laboratory diagnostics and on the treatment of lead intoxication. Two aims are selected in this diploma thesis. The first one is to define lead, its propeties, localization, impacts on the environment and its toxic effects on human health. The second aim is to analyze data from a questionnaire survey about the public awareness of lead influence on the nature environment and the toxic effects of lead. The quantitative research was chosen for this diploma thesis, which was attended by 102 respondents. The conditions for participation in the research part weren´t set and data collection was implamented using anonymous questionnaire surveys. This diploma thesis can be used for study purposes and as a source of information about lead and its impact on the environment and its toxic effect on the human body. The result of the research is that respondents are well-informed about lead. They are acquainted with the information regarding the properties of lead and its use, and regardinglead contamination of the environment, as well as the fact that lead is legislatively monitored in the Czech Republic. Respondents also have an overview about lead effects on the human body and symptoms of lead intoxication.

Consumerism and the environment - geographical and some other contexts
NEUMAN, Jiří
The thesis has a clear aim to outline the issue of consumerism and its inevitable development in contemporary modern society. There is an attempt to show its origins, practices and consequences. It also seeks to draw attention to the increased threat of ecological catastrophe associated with consumerism that could arise from the consequences of poor waste management in developing countries, particularly on the African continent. This region has been chosen as an ideal non-consumerist world. The United States of America, on the other side, is presented as a contrast to Africa as a typical country where consumerism is high, and its population is the world's biggest polluter in terms of waste production. The theoretical part relies on expert heuristics, which are supported by electronic resources in the form of various projects and analyses that have been previously carried out and now used to investigate the problem described.

The shared economy in the principles of the circular economy
EDROVÁ, Petra
This thesis is based on the definition of the sharing economy in the principles of circular economy, defining some basic concepts related to this issue. At the same time, their interconnection is also explained. The whole investigation is conducted from the perspective of the participants in the sharing economy, which means across generations, specifically generations X, Y and Z. The primary objective of this thesis is to evaluate the use of the sharing economy in the principles of the circular economy, depending on the age and income of its users, while also considering the most used area of the sharing economy, based on the analysis. The chosen analysis was carried out through a questionnaire survey and statistical calculations to test the established hypotheses. The secondary objective is then to propose measures to improve the situation in the selected sector of the economy.
