Name Relation between physical fitness and study results of primary school students Goal The goal of the thesis is to examine physical fitness of primary school students, compare it with their study results, and see if there is any relatioship between these two variables. Methods Physical fitness is tested with tests and norms of Unifittest (6-60) (Měkota, Kovář, 2002) and study results are generated with questionnaires. The answers are then matched with Unifittest's results of each student. Results are processed with the help of statistical methods. Results The results of Unifittest (6- 60) showed above-average or well above-average level of fitness with 89 % of individuals. Only 11 % of participants reached the average score. The best performance was detected with girls of the 9 ͭ ͪ grade and boys of the 7 ͭ ͪ grade. Spearman correlation coefficient showed a medium-strong relation between the Unifittest (6- 60) results and grades from Czech language, foreign language, and mathematics in 2 categories. 6 ͭ ͪ grade girls had the correlation rₛ= 0,51 and 8 ͭ ͪ grade girls rₛ= 0,56. Other categories showed very weak correlation relation. Keywords Unifittest, physical fitness, studying, youth, sit-ups, pull-ups, long jump, Cooper test

Bab edh-Dhra is the most extensively excavated cemetery from Early Bronze Age, Jordan. Despite thorough study, the social structure and existence of social inequality remain unclear. This was addressed using osteological evidence of physiological stress to compare between family tombs. In societies exhibiting social inequality, individuals of lower status experience higher levels of stress. Evidence of physiological stress (femoral length, LEH, metabolic disorders, periosteal reactions, cribra orbitalia, and porotic hyperostosis) was recorded using standard methods for 250 adults. The artifact counts in this study have been previously published. Differences in the frequency of stress indicators were compared using chi-square tests. The results show no difference in the frequency of stress indicators between tombs and no correlation between artifacts and frequency of stress indicators. This indicates that families at Bab edh-Dhra experienced similar stress levels and low inequality. This may be due to cultural practices, subsistence methods or lack of data.

Die Wertschöpfungskette für frisches Obst und Gemüse in Deutschland hat sich in den letzten Jahrzehnten stark gewandelt. Die Konzentration im Einzelhandel, andere Konsumgewohnheiten und verbesserte Logistik haben Beschaffung und Angebot stark verändert. Daneben sind neue Stakeholder aufgetreten, die erfolgreich die Umsetzung ihrer Anliegen einforderten, was zu höheren Anforderungen an Produktsicherheit und Qualität führte. In der Wissenschaft beschäftigte man sich bislang nur wenig mit der Wertschöpfungskette für frisches Obst und Gemüse in Deutschland. Einige Autoren erforschten die Mechanismen, wie britische Supermärkte Gemüse aus Ostafrika importierten. Das Modell der Value Chain Analysis und die Transaktionskostentheorie bilden den theoretischen Rahmen der vorliegenden Arbeit. Erster Schritt war die Identifizierung der relevanten Akteure und ihrer Position in der Kette. Es zeigte sich, daß es keine einheitliche Value Chain gibt, sondern daß die Beschaffung der einzelnen Produkte unter-schiedlich organisiert ist, sowohl von Unternehmen zu Unternehmen, aber auch innerhalb einer Firma für unterschiedliche Produkte. In einem zweiten Schritt wurden sorgfältig ausgewählte Experten aus Produktion, Zwischen- und Einzelhandel zu den Veränderungen in der Value Chain und deren aktueller Ausgestaltung interviewt. Besonderer Wert wurde dabei auf die Ver-träge und Beziehungen zwischen den einzelnen Handelspartnern gelegt, d.h. wie diese zustande kommen, wie sie aufgebaut sind und wie die Kontrolle der Vereinbarungen funktioniert. In einem letzten Schritt wurden die Faktoren herausgearbeitet, die für das aktuelle Aussehen der Value Chain entscheidend sind. Weitere Ergebnisse waren, wie das Governance-System in der Realität funktioniert, wie konsequent Vorgaben und Standards umgesetzt werden und wie die Verbindungen zwischen den einzelnen Partnern gestaltet sind. Dabei kristallisierten sich drei unterschiedliche Einkaufstypen im LEH heraus. / The value chain for fresh fruit and vegetables in Germany has changed considerably through-out the last decades. The convergence in retail, transformed consumer habits and improved logistics have had great impact on procurement and supply. In addition, new stakeholders have emerged, who successfully demand the implementation of their requirements, resulting in a higher demand for product safety and product quality. So far, science has addressed the value chain model on fresh fruit and vegetables in Germany only briefly. In fact, there are only few studies available on the mechanisms of UK supermar-ket imports of vegetables from East Africa. The model of the Value Chain Analysis and the transaction cost theory should hence form the theoretical framework of this study. The first step was the identification of relevant players and their position within the chain. It was found that there is no single value chain present, but that the procurement of the individ-ual products is organized, changing, both from company to company, but also within a com-pany for different products. In a second step, a group of carefully selected experts from production, intermediary trade and retail were asked to comment on the changes and the current structure of the value chain. Special emphasis was placed on the contracts and relationships between the individual trading partners, i.e. how these agreements are made, what do they include and how their compliance is guaranteed. In a last step, the crucial factors were identified that are critical for the current appearance of the Value Chain. Other results included the determination of the true governance system, findings about how consistent the guidelines and standards are implemented and how the connections between the individual partners are designed. As a result, three different procurement types can be de-termined in food retailing.
