The diploma thesis examines the issue of environmental education at primary and secondary schools in Nicaragua. Overall, it is divided into several parts, namely the literary research, the research of the issue of education and the environment in Nicaragua, the analytical part and proposals. The literary research focuses on the issue of environmental education, especially the characteristics of the environment and the education in developing countries in general. It also deals with the role of NGOs in promoting environmental education. In the next chapter, these topics are applied on the case of Nicaragua. In the analytical part of the thesis is described research, which was realized during the foreign internship in Nicaragua by the method of questionnaire survey and interviews. The research investigates the current level of environmental education at primary and secondary schools in Nicaragua, primarily in the Carazo region, where the questionnaire survey was conducted. Further, by the method of interviews, it explores the possibility for local environmental organizations to participate in environmental education at primary and secondary schools. In the final part of the thesis, there is an overall evaluation of the examined issue together with proposal of certain measures that could lead to an improvement of the current situation of environmental education in Nicaragua.

The work is divided into three separate parts, each of which has its own tissues. The first part is devoted to the process of environmental impact assessment in general. It explains the purpose, principle and course of the process, and also describes the legislative framework that controles this process. The second part is dedicated to golf itself and the use and typology of the landscape. Here are explained the basic concepts and characteristics of the golf game, its history and the description golf courses according to the use of areas according to the cadastre. We can also find the classification of the Czech landscape and the typology of golf courses divided according to various aspects. The third, analytical part, which is at the same time the key part of this work, is devoted to the assessment of the use of golf courses in the Czech Republic and to the study of the EIA. The first chapter deals with the case study, comparison and evaluation of the information obtained concerning two selected golf courses and assessment of their impact on the environment. The second chapter deals with golf courses, their records and assessments within the EIA legislative process. The object of the work was to create a comprehensive golf course map, based on the map and the register, with a short description of the characteristics of each golf course, and to create the database of golf courses from the EIA information system. It also includes analysis and assessment of the impact of golf courses on the environment.

This diploma thesis is focusing on heavy metals content measuring in sewage sludge. The thesis is divided into theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part deals with valid legislation of the Czech Republic, with toxic effect of heavy metals on environment and population health, and with X-ray spectrometry and technical equipment of selected WWTPs.

The diploma thesis examines sources of poverty and material deprivation among households that exhibit similar characteristics in the Czech Republic. The data originate from the European Union - Survey on Income and Living Conditions between years 2009 - 2015. For the analysis, two rounds of binomial logistic regressions were carried out with poverty status and material deprivation as dependent factors. First, a total of 28 400 unique households were included in both models. Afterwards, a nearest-neighbor matching procedure was used to pair households that (1) live in poverty and (2) are materially deprived. That led to (1) 5 378 and (2) 9 406 observations for the subsequent estimations. The outcomes suggest that even when the similarity between households is accounted for the unemployment status is the most influential factor of poverty and material deprivation, alongside with low equivalised disposable income. Furthermore, the households for which housing costs entail great burden are among the more threatened. Numerous households are more likely to be poor and deprived while larger houses and flats are related with lesser odds of poverty and material deprivation.

The diploma thesis provides identification of low-income households in the Czech Republic and evaluates their living conditions. Primary data source is European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions. The thesis deals with income situation in Czech households and measures income inequality. Four ways are used for the determination of low-income households: income poverty line, first income decile, material deprivation and unemployment. The development of a number of low-income households and their income is evaluated in period 2007–2016. The combination of four previous methods identifies an extremely vulnerable part of the population. The structure of incomes of low-income households and the relevance of social transfers are explained. For assessment of living conditions in low-income households, the decomposition of the indicator of the material deprivation is used. The thesis reveals the determinants of income of households and identifies typical low-income households.

This diploma thesis deals with the living conditions of the first income quintile households in the Czech Republic and four countries of the European Union (Austria, Portugal, Sweden, United Kingdom), which were selected on the basis of cultural affinity zones. The main data source was Eurostat database, specifically European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) and Household Budget Survey (HBS). Data on standard of living, income, poverty and social exclusion, housing, consumption expenditure, savings and subjective well-being are analysed and compared. Based on the results of indicators that determine living conditions of low-income households, recommendations are established.

This diploma thesis is focused on reform scheme of the EU's own resource system with regard to protection of the environment. The first section consists theoretical review of examined issues, description of weaknesses and problematic areas, which need to be reformed. New own resources for the EU budget are presented in the next section, where multicriterial, quantitative and swot analytic methods were used to assess these suggestions.

The thesis deals with the determination of selected ion herbicides in surface waters and in the first part describes the herbicides. Given the broad spectrum herbicide further work deals mainly with glyphosate. The next section describes the electromigration methods and the methods by which the herbicides were determined. Finally, it describes how the development of an electrolyte system along with the use of graphical possibilities of computer technology. In conclusion are presented and commented on the results of measurements of glyphosate in surface waters, compared with foreign literature and assessing the suitability of methods for the analysis of contaminants in the environment.
