Cílem této diplomové práce je porovnat Českou republiku, Slovensko, Polsko a Maďarsko z hlediska jejich zajímavosti pro investory, kteří zvažují investici do strategických služeb. Jedná se o srovnání zemí se zbytkem EU i mezi sebou navzájem v oblasti podmínek na trhu práce, vzdělanostní struktury i nabízených investičních pobídek.

This master thesis is devoted to the cement industry and its relation to the infrastructure development in selected countries of Central Europe. The aim is to analyse cement industries and markets in the Czech Republic, Slovak Republic and Austria and compare these markets with the infrastructure development in aforemetioned countries. The first chapter defines cement industry and infrastructure. The second chapter focuses on the evolution and contemporary state of cement industries in the Czech Republic, Slovak Republic and Austria. The third chapter devotes itself to infrastructure and its development in Europe and Central European states. The last chapter combines data from second and third chapter and answers the main research question.

The aim of this thesis is to display the problematic areas where greater coordination and cooperation could occur between all energy market players in order to fulfill a vision of a Central and Eastern European regional market place.

Práce hodnotí přímé zahraniční investice v okrajových oborech v regionu střední a východní Evropy. Část práce je věnována určení okrajových oborů a určení determinant nízkého přílivu investic do vybraných oborů. Následně je na příkladu konkrétní zahraničního investora provedena analýza, která ukazuje, že rozhodování se neliší od jiných investorů, pouze má svá specifikace. Práce se snaží ukázat, že i okrajové obory a PZI, které do nich směřuji, nemusí být výjimkou a naopak jich může přibývat.

Disertační práce, s využitím metody mezinárodně politické analýzy, popisuje a hodnotí vývoj Visegrádské skupiny, jako důležité středoevropské regionální platformy, v letech 1991-2004 na pozadí naplnění vybraných strategických cílů definovaných na počátku spolupráce - zajištění stability a bezpečnosti v regionu střední Evropy po roce 1989 a naplnění integračních ambicí zemí Visegrádské skupiny ve vztahu k NATO, resp. ES/EU. Práce také nastiňuje perspektivy, resp. možný další vývoj spolupráce zemí Visegrádské skupiny po vstupu ČR, Maďarska, Polska a Slovenska do NATO a EU.

The doctoral thesis The Performing Arts (Music, Theatre, Dance) and Cultural Policy in Central Europe focuses on the relationship of the state administration and performing arts in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Hungary, Austria and Germany. It includes an overview of basic strategic documents of the state cultural policy in the Central European countries, on incorporation of the term of performing arts into the concept of cultural and creative industries and the economic classification as well as analysis of statistical evidence of theatre, music and dance in the selected countries. Furthermore, the thesis focuses on the field of culture from the point of view of the state administration, on the structure of state administration responsible for the management of culture as a whole and on state institutions established by state authorities responsible for performing arts. The analysis of subsidy tools for support of performing arts is also included.

The topic of this thesis is about the possibility of applying vertical gardens in middle of Europe. First time, there was made methodics to evaluation of vertical gardens. After it, there were evaluated eight objects in middle of Europe and four objects in Paris. The condition was descpribed. Special attention was placed on plants. The second part of this thesis is about a practical demonstration of experimental vertical garden with three growing systems. There were used 25 species of plants and three types of substrates. The vitality, size and phenophases were evaluated.

This thesis presents results of the histological study of oogenesis in the nymphs of 5th instar, variously aged adult females of known age and adult females of Velia caprai ((Heteroptera: Gerromorpha: Veliidae) of unknown age that were collected in the field. Oogonia in the germarium and the first oocytes that are forming in previtellarium were observed in the nymphs of the 5th instar. Their vitellarium is empty. The first vitellogenetic oocytes appear in vitellarium of ovarioles at 7 days old adult females. Oocytes in advanced stage of vitellogenesis were observed at 25 days old adult females. The secretion of chorion starts at 42 days old adult females. Advanced stage of oogenesis (fully chorionated eggs) was found at 60 days old adult females, at adult females collected in the field, during the period September ? November (2009), and at adult females after overwintering. Females of Velia caprai reach sexual maturity before overwintering, their eggs can be fertilized by spermatozoa from own spermatheca. These females can lay eggs from autumn to the spring. After reaching sexual maturity of adult females, oogenesis of this species seems to be continual.

Wood mice of the genus Apodemus rank among the most common extant mammals throughout Europe. A history of its species and their distributional ranges is to be looked upon as a serious topic relevant also for general concepts on current setting of European biotic diversity. Nevertheless, despite several phylogeographic studies on that subject and a rich fossil record of the genus, many details of that issue remains only very poorly comprehended. This state is essentially caused by enormous complications with phenotype discrimination of individual species, their extensive variation and broad between-species overlaps in all phenotype traits. The present project was intended to establish the techniques enabling reliable species identification applicable to fragmentary fossil materials and to use them for retrieving information on range dynamics and phylogenetic history of individual species during the Quaternary past. It begun with detailed morphometric analyses of extant populations, using the characters available in fossils, and with establishing a concept of alternative parataxonomic classification covering the complete phenotype span of the genus. The respective techniques were applied onto an extensive set of well-dated records from the Late Pleistocene-Holocene sedimentary series from diverse...

This work is focused on the collection of theoretical and internationally agreed-upon information on the range and sources of socio-economic functions and benefits provided by forests and subsequently on the comparison of these functions within set groups of Nordic and Central European countries. The countries chosen for these groups were Finland Sweden Norway Czech Republic Slovakia and Austria. Simultaneously was examined if there exists nationally or regionally different approaches on how these and other forest functions are typically measured or evaluated in general. Through a review of literature and multiple national and international statistical compilations was obtained both quantitative and qualitative data regarding the forests forest policies and forest industries of each country observed. This information was placed within the frames of internationally acknowledged Criteria & Indicator standards for the Maintenance of socioeconomic functions and conditions. Afterwards these standards were then used accordingly as the basis for the comparisons made. Overall it was found that some of the main characteristics of the socio-economic functions and benefits of forests proved relatively similar in the two regions particularly from the social point of view and management-related goals and objectives in each country. Main differences were more identifiable through the economic aspects of forest functions but mostly on national and not so much on regional level. The significance and value of local forest-based industries combined with the political and historical background and cultural traditions of each country contributed strongly towards many of the observed differences. Noticeable discrepancies on the methods of measurement of the forest socio-economic functions were found relatively few and trivial among the countries studied. Significantly different nationally individual approaches to evaluate forest functions in general could not be identified outside of the Czech Republic.
