This thesis compiles the performance evaluation of real estate agency Reality GAIA, spol. s.r.o. In strategic analysis it describes the characteristics of the macro-environment, bounded by territory of Czech Republic, the micro-environment, defined as real estate activities, and the selected company. The real estate agency is also analyzed by financial analysis and by calculations of the economic value added. The factors determining economic performance are revealed through mathematical and statistical methods. Proposals and recommendations to improve economics performance are given.

This thesis deals with two issues. At first we define rural areas through network analysis according to the commuting areas of central cities which have over 10.000 inhabitans. On such a limited space we observe the differences between the municipalities on the basis of the economic characteristics of municipalities, especially in terms of budget or funds and their effectiveness of receive and use.

The thesis compares the carbon footprints generated by household food consumption in urban and rural areas of selected regions within the European Union, and deepens the knowledge of the impact contemporary society has on global climate change. Selected regions come from the Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary and the Netherlands. The first part summarises the findings of climate change and its impact on the environment, the concept of sustainable development, and the consumer behaviour of the Czech population in the food sector, with a focus on the possibility to influence carbon footprint production. The second part addresses the particular comparison of carbon footprints generated by household food consumption and evaluates the results. The conclusion from this part of the dissertation can be used as a guide to help reduce carbon footprints through food consumption.

This diploma thesis analyses issues related to current energy crisis and electrification process in Ghana, in connection with socio-economic impacts on society, and simultaneously presents opportunities of applying alternative off-grid solar technologies as potential solution. The main aim of the thesis is to develop comprehensive project targeted at solution for the lack of light and providing ability for charging small electronic devices, resulting to improving living conditions for inhabitants in non-electrified areas. Solution mentioned in the thesis, was developed on the basis of particular conditions considering the highest efficiency, reliability and simultaneously the lowest initial costs. Significant attention was paid to technological transfer challenge; ensuring long-term sustainability. Valuable information and experience were gained through experimental installation in the village of Akukusu, during Scholarly Internship in Ghana, leading to modification and further technology development. Particular examples of possible applications in cooperation with local subjects, which were achieved within semester study at the University of Ghana, are mentioned in closing part. These examples prove feasibility and simple modification for particular conditions. Subsequent possibilities of extension and further development are mentioned as well.

Populations of European ungulates have grown substantially over recent decades, resulting in considerable environmental and socio-economic impacts. Availability and quality of natural and supplemental food sources are among the main factors driving their population dynamics. Detailed knowledge of feeding strategies of management-targeted species is therefore of primary importance for their successful management. Over time, methods to study the feeding strategies of animals have also evolved considerably but each has its advantages as well as limitations. This doctoral thesis uses a combination of traditional methods (i.e. stomach content analysis) and novel methods (i.e. stable isotope analysis, near infrared reflectance spectroscopy) to achieve a better understanding of feeding strategies of two important ungulate species (i.e. wild boar and red deer) in the Czech Republic, where their populations are on the rise and supplementary feeding is rampant. Next, this dissertation aims to introduce and to establish a basis for these novel methodological approaches for the study of free-ranging individuals. In this respect, it also addresses methodological issues related to their application in this field. The diet composition of wild boar was investigated by examining stomach contents in order to identify their dependence on food resources of human origin (i.e. agricultural crops and supplemental foods). Foods of human origin were the dominant diet type and constituted the bulk of the diet of wild boar throughout the year. A necessary prerequisite for application of stable isotope analysis is the trophic discrimination factor (i.e. systematic difference between the isotopic composition of the consumer tissues and that of the diet), which was experimentally determined for stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes, the two most commonly used in ecology, in hair tissue of wild boar and red deer. Furthermore, possible sources of variation (such as sex, age, body weight, and lactation) on isotopic discrimination were investigated. The results of the experiments provide a starting point for the successful use of stable isotope analysis in field studies on wild boar and red deer. Finally, application of near infrared reflectance spectroscopy was proven to be useful in measuring faecal indices of food quality for red deer. The results of this thesis will contribute towards efficient management of wild boar and red deer in the Czech Republic.

The main goal of the diploma thesis is to propose suitable recommendations in the area of marketing communication of the company Costa Coffee on the basis of a questionnaire survey and data analysis. To accomplish the main goal of the thesis, logically sequenced partial goals precede it. The theoretical part contains basic terms related to marketing, marketing mix and marketing communication, especially communication mix and targeted marketing. The practical part describes characteristics of the chosen café chain and its marketing mix, which is inspected also in the closest competition companies. Also analyzed is the external marketing environment of the coffee chain. The questionnaire survey, which is aimed to identify suitable segments for setting most effective marketing communication possible, follows. The suggestion for the optimization of marketing tools is based on a research into consumption and medial behaviour and lifestyle of MML TGI population. On the basis of the data gained in this research, the perception of promotions on the level of individual segments is analysed. The conclusion, considering all the information acquired in the research, contains a proposal for improving marketing activities, and green coffee is suggested to be added to the café portfolio.

The aim of this study was to understand the link beween greenhouse gasses emissions (CH4 and N2O) microbial activity and nutrient content in soil from different types of soil in Svalbard. Warming can cause release of large amounts of carbon and nitrogen in form of greenhouse gasses from soil into the atmosphere. This might strengthen the greenhouse effect and thus global climate change. We measured release of greenhouse gases from soil. At the same time, soil sampling was conducted at five different localities in August in the years 2014 and 2015. Soils were found to have low nutrient content and unfavourable C/N ratio to support vegetation growth. Areas were not a significant source of emissions of greenhouse gasses from soil to the atmosphere.

The complete sequence of mitochondrial DNA from Diuraphis noxia was obtained and characterized. The mitogenome contains a standard set of 13 protein-coding genes, 19 tRNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes. A+T-rich and ?repets? regions in the same order as those of the other analyzed aphids. Comparison to mtDNAs from other Sternorrhyncha species obtained from GenBank revealed possible markers for studies on population differentiation. Phylogenetic analysis using parsimony and maximum likelihood confirmed the classification of Diuraphis noxia into the Aphididae.

The aim of this thesis was to design a business concept use railways 193rd The concept was designed based on information obtained from the questionnaire survey, structured interviews and a thorough situational analysis, analysis of customers and competitors. Based on this data, it was suggested several options how the track could be used for tourism development.

The aim of this work was to compare the different regions of the Czech Republic (NUTS III) for selected years 2001, 2004 and 2007 through the indicators of sustainable development. The following indicators were selected: Net migration, unemployment, level of education and GDP per capita. The level of marginality of individual regions were then defined as a combination of these indicators. The marginal regions, as well as the very marginal, were identified by usageof the chosen methodology in each of the years , The marginal one are essentially the region located in northern Bohemia and northern Moravia. As themost marginal one appeared Ústí Region.
