Laboratory experiments were conducted to evaluate Tetranychus urticae Koch dispersal response to fenvalerate and permethrin. A petri dish spider mite trap which allows the partitioning of the dispersal response into spindown and walkoff categories was developed. Fenvalerate induced the more severe dispersal response. A greenhouse experiment was conducted to evaluate Tetranychus urticae oviposition site selection in response to residues of fenvalerate and permethrin, at two levels of residue deposition. When pyrethroid-free leaf surface was available, nearly all eggs were found on the untreated surface, away from the pyrethroid residues. When pyrethroid-free leaf surface was not available, a substantial number of eggs were found suspended by silk threads above the treated surface. The results were found to be in agreement with the general pyrethroid avoidance hypothesis. A series of greenhouse experiments were conducted to evaluate Tetranychus urticae oviposition response following impingement, and contact with residues of fenvalerate and permethrin. In all instances the pyrethroids were found to reduce the number of eggs oviposited. Mites recovered after several days, and oviposition returned to normal. The results did not lend support to the hormoligosis hypothesis of insecticide induced mite outbreaks. Field and greenhouse experiments were conducted to evaluate Tetranychus urticae oviposition response, over time, to soybeans which have received an application of fenvalerate of permethrin. The pyrethroids did not alter the soybeans in a way which improved the quality of the plant as a resource for increased levels of spider mite oviposition. / Master of Science / incomplete_metadata

Three densities of European red mite (ERM) (<i>Panonychus ulmi</i> Koch) and twospotted spider mite (TSM) (<i>Tetranychus urticae</i> (Koch)) were maintained on greenhouse-grown 'Imperial Delicious' apple (<i>Malus domestica</i>) and 'Redhaven' peach (<i>Prunus persica</i>) leaves. As ERM- and TSM-days increased, apple leaf net photosynthesis (Pn), transpiration (Tr) , and chlorophyll content (TCHL) decreased linearly. TSM was more damaging to apple leaf gas exchange than ERM. Apple water use efficiency (WUE) declined similarly with increasing mite-days for both mite species. Apple specific leaf weight (SLW) decreased with ERM-days and increased with TSM-days. Peach Pn, Tr, and TCHL declined linearly for both ERM and TSM. Both mite species were equally damaging to peach leaf gas exchange. Peach WUE decreased with increasing ERM and TSM-days. There was no mite effect on peach SLW. The results from separate apple and peach studies indicate that peach may be more tolerant to mite feeding than apple. / Master of Science

The thesis deals with interfirm comparison of twelfe selected Czech dairies between 2005-2009. The firms are ranked by various multicriterial methods with financial analysis ratios used as criteria. Companies are divided into groups by using the classification method and selected dairies are also evaluated by the spider analysis. The differences between applied methods are evaluated, as well the strengths and weaknesses of individual dairies.

This thesis economically analyses the company Výtahy, s.r.o. First there are some pages about the company itself, what it produces, few words about its history and crucial moments and the situation on the market. In the theoretical part the chosen methods of economic analysis are depicted. Practical part focuses on the company Výtahy, s.r.o. The horizontal and vertical analysis of the assets, liabilities and profit and loss account is shown. There is a calcuation of net working capital and its demand. The effectiveness of the company is measured also by a system of logical inequations. Important part is devoted to ratio indexes -- rates of profit, return on sales or assets, solidity of the firm, equity ratio or turnaround period of assets or inventories. The economic value added is counted by two methods -- with the model from Department of industry and trade and with the net operating profit after tax model. I applied several of financial health models to predict and analyse, if the company is doing good or bad. I compared the competing companies among themselves through the last five years based on four criteria. And I used three methods for the final order of the companies. The last comparison is done thru Spider analysis and it shows the economical situation of three Czech elevator companies in last two years.

The Diploma thesis deals with the appraisal of the company’s financial situation for the 2010 - 2014 period. The first part of the thesis documents the theoretical solutions which are then applied in the practical part of the thesis. The second part includes the introduction of the analysed company, calculations of the financial indicators, their interpretation and comparison with the recommended values. The last part of the thesis focused on steps of the proposals. These steps should help the company to get better financial situation.

The target of this work is to create a financial analysis of selected company and an intercompany comparison of companies in selected branch. In teoretical part this work are description basic terms and methods of financial analysis and methods of intercompany comparison. In practical part this work is to create the financial situation of selected company and intercompany comparison of companies by methods of intercompany comparison. Then the resulting order of comanies is evaluated by Spearman´s correlation coefficient. In the end this work there is overall assessment of the results of the intercompany comparison and description of some problems that appeared in this work.

The aim of this thesis was to perform inter-company comparison by using different tools for a set of five construction companies. For comparison were selected five joint stock companies, which are in terms of market share, the largest. To the resulting comparison has been used inter-comparison methods, bankruptcy and credibility models and it was created credit rating companies AGR (Aspect Global Rating). Based on the chosen methodology, we compare the companies among themselves in terms of their economic situation.

The goal of the thesis is to analyze the financial situation of the company Pivovary Staropramen a.s. and to establish its efficiency for the needs of the management. Using the methods of financial analysis, the thesis means to identify the factors which determined the present financial results and find such solutions, that would lead to the improvement of the company results for the future.

Práce se zabývá mezipodnikovým srovnáváním čtrnácti českých pivovarů v letech 2005-2007. Podniky jsou seřazeny různými metodami dle poměrových ukazatelů finanční analýzy, rozčleněny do skupin klasifikační metodou a podrobeny grafické spider analýze. Jsou posouzeny přednosti a nedostatky užitých srovnávacích metod.
