The thesis Geobiocenologické geological characteristics of selected quarries the Kutná Hora, is related to the antropogenic montainery landscape unites and theeir wider sur-roundings with a special focus on soil environment, tree evolution and succession and their ecophysiology affected by their habitat, environment, soil and bedrock geochem-istry. The thesis describes the geological phenomens and history if mining and uses of select-ed quarries Vlastějovice, Bernartice, Malešova and their surroundings in relation to the studied localities. Furthermore, quarries of Vlastějovice and Bernartice are currently still in operation. The author gives an overview of a number of characteristics of the territory. In the practical part are compared pedological conditions in quarries, with regard to the diversity of soils and their chemical composition in relation to bedrock. Greater emphasis is placed on influencing tree evolution and their ecophysiology in relation to soil, parental bedrock and distribution of elements contained in different soil horizons and trees. Comparison is based on the author's own field investigations and laboratory analyzes of soil chemistry conquered by XRF spectrometry analysis, as well as soil physics and influence to trees by all these mentioned factors. The paper also describes botanical and climatic characteristics of all quarries, forest typology and phytocenology in quarries and surrounding regions. The results are briefly discussed in chapter discussion and results of thesis are ilustrated by graphs, photographs and tables placed in the Annexes to this thesis.

The aim of this thesis is to establish species diversity of ground beetles within the area of Mašovice stone quarry. This recultivated quarry has been declared the national monument in December 28, 2013 and is also placed to the list of nationally important localities in Europe in the Framework of protected areas Natura 2000. The main reason for its incorporation is its being the most important locality where the Italian crested newt (Triturus carnifex) occurs within the confines of the Czech Republic. In three diverse biotopes, grounded formaldehyde traps with small roof were placed and in which the whole spectrum of epigeic fauna was caught in the period from April to September 2014. Only the representatives of the ground beetles family (Carabidae) were determined and only them were evaluated through the synecological characteristic, such as dominance, Simpson's index, species diversity, equitability and Jaccard's index of similarity.

An interoperability gap exists between Learning Management Systems (LMSs) and Learning Object Repositories (LORs). Learning Objects (LOs) and the associated Learning Object Metadata (LOM) that is stored within LORs adhere to a variety of LOM standards. A common LOM standard found in LORs is the Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) Content Aggregation Model (CAM). In contrast, LMSs are independent computer systems that manage and deliver course content to students via a web interface. This research addressed three important issues related to the interoperability gap: (a) a lack of a metadata standard that defined the format of how student assessment data should be communicated from LMSs to LORs, (b) a lack of an architectural standard for the movement of data from LMSs to LORs, and (c) a lack of middleware that facilitated the movement of the student assessment data from the LMSs to LORs. This research achieved the following objectives: (a) the SCORM CAM LOM standard was extended to facilitate the storage of student assessment data, (b) Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) was identified as the best architecture to resolve the interoperability gap between LMSs and LORs, (c) a panel of Computer Information Systems (CIS) experts participated in a five-stage, web-based, anonymous Delphi process that approved and ranked 28 functional requirements for a proposed middleware application, and (d) the functional requirements were verified via the development of a prototype that transferred student assessment data from a LMSs into the LOM of LOs that are stored within a LOR. In conclusion, the research demonstrated that there are three acceptable approaches to extending the SCORM LOM standard: (a) new metadata elements, (b) new vocabulary values, and (c) the reference of an internal or external XML file using a location element. The main accomplishments of the research were the gathering of SOA functional requirements and the development of a prototype that provided an approach for the resolution of the interoperability gap that exists between LMSs and LORs.

Along with the development of Internet and information technology, there has been a huge revolution on the style of learning, since we¡¦ve entered a new century of elearning. At the present time, the learning resources accumulating in the Internet has been richer gradually. However, it also shows the problem about the difficulties of the management and integration of learning resources. Plenty of problems should be resolved, such as the difficulty on seeking resources and tests, low reusability, incapability of the transformation on different learning platforms, etc. On purpose to resolve these problems, various kinds of standards have been presented by many organizations. Although these standards are still under development, however, undoubtedly, they will play a very important role on the progress of the elearning. Because of the shortage of understandings and researches of this respect, we will have some discussions about the present problems resolved by the standards of elearning and the methods used upon them. Bereday¡¦s Comparative Method is adapted in this research. Four specific phases described as follows: Description Phase: Thoroughly and objectively describing each elearning standard. Interpretation Phase: Interpreting the meaning contained in the elearning standard according to the perspective of modularity, management, and continuity. Juxtaposition Phase: Defining the items on the comparison of each dimension based on content, quiz, leaner, and platform, and then concluding the key points of each standard in each item. Comparison Phase: Comparing each elearning standard item by item that is listed in the Juxtaposition Phase.

This thesis focuses on the comprehensive analysis and evaluation of soil conditions and plant diversity of representative sites in southern Moravia, central and south Bohemia, which were significantly affected by surface mining and quarrying. They were selected locations on carbonate rocks (Hády, Růženin, Lesní, Turold, Houbův, Homolák and Krty), the metamorphic rocks, namely granulite (Zrcadlová huť and Plešovice) and sandy sediments (Plavsko and Rudice-Seč). Already closed quarries and those left to natural succession or reclaimation, but also those in which there is still an active mineral extraction were selected as representative for this BC thesis. Apropriate soil samples were taken for analysis of physico -chemical, mechanical and hydro-physical properties of soil as a part of the fieldwork that took place during 2012 and 2014. Phytosociological surveys have been realised in 2013 as well. This thesis also discus the appropriateness of uniform or reclamation of natural succession. Based on the data of analysis, it can be seriously demonstrated and confirmed that the soil in relation to the nature of the parental rock is mostly favorable with even well balanced water and air regime and the average waterholding. Representation of macro and micronutrients in the samples picture prediction, despite the low nutrient content in soils at these sites are relatively high. Another way from the perspective of plant diversity, all selected stations are is still in its early stages of development. The most represented trees of all fracture sites is silver birch (Betula pendula), followed by pine forest (Pinus sylvestris), aspen (Populus tremula) and goat willow (Salix caprea).
