This study applies a molecular approach addressing the identification of trematode larval stages (sporocysts, rediae and cercariae) parasitising four freshwater pulmonate snails (Stagnicola elodes, Radix auricularia, Planorbella trivolvis and Physella gyrina) collected in the wetlands of St Lawrence River in Canada. A total of 20 genetically distinct species or species level lineages were identified via phylogenetic analyses based on, depending on the taxonomic group, mitochondrial (cox1 and nad1) and nuclear (ITS-5.8S-ITS2 and 28S rDNA) sequences integrated with data from the recently generated sequence libraries for the European and some North American trematodes. Phylogenetic analyses and distance-based approaches allowed molecular identification of six described/named and 14 putative new species. These included species of six digenean families (Clinostomidae, Derogenidae, Echinostomatidae, Plagiorchiidae, Schistosomatidae and Strigeidae).

The main goal of this work is to trace down the fates of Aboriginal soldiers in the Canadian military during the Second World War and to answer the questions of what their motives were to enlist and how they were treated after coming home. Therefore, the theoretical part deals with the development of the relationship between the Aboriginals and the Europeans, summarizing the WW2 from the Canadian point of view while paying special attention to the presence of Aboriginals. The practical part answers questions raised above and stated in more detail in the Introduction. Further it deals with the biographies of concrete Aboriginals and the contribution of this thesis to Czech students.

The aim of this work is to describe the importance of NAFTA for the foreign trade of Canada and its impact on the territorial and commodity composition of Canada's foreign trade. Trade relations with the USA and Mexico. Factors influencing foreign trade (strong Canadian dollar, financial crisis in the USA, intra-company trade).

Subject of the thesis is the Canadian foreign policy towards the USA. It deals with its historic development from beginnings up to now. Special accent is put on the last 30 years. The thesis is divided into three parts. The actual Canadian-American relation is laid out in the third part, where as the broader context of the Canadian foreign policy is outlined in the first two chapters. Domestic environment of foreign policy such as geographic, demographic, institutional and economic aspects are highlighted in the first chapter. Canada is a former British colony and had to evolve to attain its status as an international agent, this process is introduced in the second chapter.
