A positive predator-prey population dynamics is important to sustain a healthy ecosystem. When this gap is widened it can have adverse effect on the particular ecosystem. Predators play an important role to keep the population of prey species in check. Predation also influences the size of the prey population by acting as a control. Predator and prey evolve together in a constant bid for survival. A healthy population of the apex predators also gives an indication of the health of the ecosystem. In an environment which is rapidly altered by humans for commercial and recreational needs it becomes extremely important to study the prey-predator interaction and the effects it has on the ecosystem. The effect of large carnivores is thought to extend down the food web to herbivores and to plants causing a trophic cascade. In the Czech Republic where the forests play a vital role economically there was a need to assess this Impact. We carried out some research in the west Carpathian Mountains which fall in the eastern part of Czech Republic to assess the impact large carnivores have on forest regeneration. The Beskydy Mountains is home to 3 large carnivore species namely Wolf (Canis lupus), Lynx (Lynx lynx), and Brown bear (Ursus arctos). The remaining carnivore species are not considered here, but we acknowledge that also they can play an important and varied role in communities. The prey species include Red deer (Cervus elaphus), Roe deer (Capreolus capreolus), and Wild boar (Sus scrofa) while other small herbivores were not considered.

The theme of the diploma work is the comparison of German phraseologisms with their Czech equivalents and subsequently their division into four groups according to their reciprocal content and formal concordance. The particular phraseologisms come from Schemann´s phraseological encyclopedia (Schemann, Hans: Synonymwörterbuch der deutschen Redensarten; Klett Verlag; Stuttgart 1992), namely from chapters Ea 1 {--} Ea 12 and Fa 1 {--} Fa 17. The work contains a theoretical introduction where the basic terms and problems concerning phraseology are explained; further a practical part where the particular phraseologisms are translated and divided into the four groups and finally an evaluation of the results and comparison of the phraseology of both languages.

Bluegrass has found an unlikely home, and avid following, in the Czech Republic. The music’s emergence in Central Europe places it within an increasingly global network of communities built around bluegrass activities. Lee Bidgood offers a fascinating study of the Czech bluegrass phenomenon that merges intimate immersion in the music with on-the-ground fieldwork informed by his life as a working musician. Drawing on his own close personal and professional interactions, Bidgood charts how Czech bluegrass put down roots and looks at its performance as a uniquely Czech musical practice. He also reflects on “Americanist” musical projects and the ways Czech musicians use them to construct personal and social identities. Bidgood sees these acts of construction as a response to the Czech Republic’s postsocialist environment but also to US cultural prominence within our global mediascape. / https://dc.etsu.edu/etsu_books/1157/thumbnail.jpg
