Infectious diseases are one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity in the world. Due to these times of increased globalization, Europe must react quickly to the threat of infectious diseases by introducing effective control mechanisms and prevention programs to limit their spread. From the perspective of international cooperation, the Czech Republic is bound to ensure the reporting of infectious diseases from the national level to the EU Community and the World Health Organization. The following work is dedicated to the study of infectious disease surveillance. This study looks at the initial origins of infectious disease surveillance, to the development of surveillance in the Czech Republic and the recent advances in infectious disease surveillance in the European Union. The research also takes a brief look at the general principles of surveillance and the global situation, all as a means to give a comprehensive study of disease surveillance as a way to control the spread of infectious diseases. Finally, this thesis outlines the changes that have occurred in infectious disease surveillance in Czech Republic and the European Union during this last decade.

Aviation has been affected by many important changes over the last decades, the structure of these changes comes from the amassing globalization. Similarly, the aviation changes the geographical organization of the whole world in terms of the genesis, selection and establishment of new economic, social, political, cultural and many other relations. Considering these facts and other aspects, transforms aviation into the tight indicator of globalization.

The example of India is chosen as the most appropriate because of the continuing development of its economic status. Dynamic disposition of transforming India leads the country into both the hypothetical and real point of intersection of many socio-economic changes. India is also considered a candidate for the primacy of the world-class aviation status. Given these facts, the main task of the thesis is to establish a specific study through statistical and spatial methods. The study should determine how much India is involved in global aviation, included participated changes.

Regional disparities and spatial inequality are typical topics studied by geography. Sweden is one of the most homogeneous and egalitarian countries in the world. Simultaneously, it is characteristic for its very low regional disparities and thus it is an important and interesting subject for studying. The main goal of this thesis is to examine changes in a regional pattern from the beginning of the 1990s and to analyse an impact of structural changes (deindustrialization and tertiarization) and globalization (through activities of transnational corporations) on regional disparities. In the thesis socioeconomic and demographic indicators and quantitative statistics are used to analyse a development of regional disparities in Sweden and to examine a broader context of this development. The main finding of the thesis is a disproportional growth of metropolitan regions (mainly Stockholm). Share of metropolitan regions on population and socioeconomic activities is increasing and it is characterized by dynamic development which is intensified by high specialisation, major valued-adding activities, knowledge-based economy and localisation of transnational corporations. Regional variability is slowly increasing and disproportional growth of metropolitan regions contributes to this development. Thus the...

The aim of the thesis is to examine the aspects and benefits of neutrality for both Sweden and the international community, to look for the causes of its current changing and problematic situation and to identify the opportunities it still offers. The text therefore answers these research questions: What was the contribution of neutrality to Sweden's security policy in the 20th century? What was the contribution of Swedish neutrality to the international community in the 20th century? What has changed and how that, since the end of the Cold War, Swedish neutrality has been transformed? What opportunities does Swedish security policy offer today? In accordance with the aims and questions, the topic is elaborated as an historical interpretive (and explanatory) and literature-assessing dissertation. Its first part (chapter 1) is a conceptual analysis and a state of the art review of the wider context of the topic. The second part (chapters 2 and 3) is a qualitative single case study. As to theory, the thesis draws from liberalism, constructivism and the Copenhagen School of Security Studies. The changes in (international) security and Swedish security policy and neutrality are interpreted in the context of globalisation processes. The text identifies two notions of security - military and open/liberal, which it links to two dimensions of political neutrality - realistic and idealistic and, by applying them, answers the questions asked. It concludes that the Swedish security policy or neutrality has been and is primarily about finding effective and legitimate alternatives and ways to implement them in a transforming, complex and uncertain world.
