The theoretical part is based on a literary research. The practical part analyzes data acquired by the author through a camera trap monitoring and personal observation at a particular badger warren. The outcome of this thesis is the finding that the following factors have influence on badger is behavior: lunar moon phase, daily minimum temperature and changes in external environment caused by human intervention.

ENGLISH SUMMARY Coal mining is an important activity which significantly contributes to the economy of the Czech Republic. Coal is currently still indispensable material for many industrial branches, but coal mining has serious and wide-ranging consequences for the environment. Coal mining influences negatively especially the appearance of landscape, the soil conditions and the water system in the affected area. It causes air pollution and it leads to the destruction of fauna and flora, too. Furthermore the problem is that coal is a non-renewable material, which will eventually be exhausted. Due to these negative impacts on environment and the importance of coal as the source of energy, the coal mining requires state regulation. Legislation regulation of mining activity in our country can be found in these three acts: The Mining Act No. 44/1988 Coll., The Act of Mining Activity No. 61/1988 Coll. and The Act of Geological Works No. 62/1988 Coll. These three acts are supplemented with number of subsidiary regulations. This thesis attempts to describe and analyze basic legal instruments of environmental protection, which are exercised in mining. The main sources for this thesis are the three above-mentioned Acts and Acts regulating particular elements of environment for example the Water Code, the Forest Code...

This dissertation presents research results of Norway spruce (Picea abies L. Karst) populations in timberline ecotone of the Hrubý Jeseník Mts. The work is presented in the form of five scientific articles, 3 of which are accepted for publication, or already printed. Two articles are in the form of submitted manuscripts. The first article describes the biometric and age structure of spruce populations, including the assessment of the possibility of their vegetative as well as seed-based reproduction and compares these characteristics between two vertically connected sections of timberline ecotone. The second article analyzes the influence of dwarf pine stands of different cover on the ability of vegetative reproduction of spruce and their height growth. The third article deals with the historical dynamic of spruce trees establishment within timberline ecotone. This are correlated with both temperature characteristics and agricultural land abandonment during the last 100 years. The fourth article deals with measurements of the quantity and directions of sap flow in layering branches as well as parent and daughter trees in Norway spruce clonal groups. The article evaluates the importance of sap flow quantity in layering branch to the total amount of water use by parent and daughter trees. The fifth article substantially extends the fourth article of measurements on more interconnected tree pairs within a longer time series. Additionally, this article includes the drought stress experiment in the daughter tree and subsequent monitoring of changes in sap flow in layering branch.

Title: The impact of nonspecific exercise on the coordination of the upper extremities in swimming style crawl Objectives: The aim of this thesis is to determine whether the exercise alternating circling of the upper extremities in standing applied during the swimming lessons has impact on improving technically swimming style crawl. Methods: The research involved 30 probands of the 1st degree of Faculty of Physical Education of Sport Charles University who have never taken part in swimming training. During the research was used only non-invasive methods. The measurement of height of body, upper extremity range and body composition on TANITA device. Testing was carried out in the laboratories of sports motorics at Faculty of Physical Education of Sport in Charles' University. Than testing in swimming pool was attended a swimming test at the distance of 25 and 50 m. Probands were testing in time and it was calculated number of strokes in a swimming test at the distance of 25 to 50 m. Results: In the swimming test of 25 m distance it was statistically significant change in overall performance, only a high degree of material significance was confirmed in the frequency of the strokes. In the swimming test of 50 m distance we recorded a statistically significant change in the overall performance only in...
