This thesis deals with identification and analysis of ways to measure the healthcare factor affecting living standards. The first part is the study of expert publications and databases, examining international organizations and identification of ways to measure selected categories of healthcare factors. Identified indicators are then analyzed using in-depth interviews with experts in the field of healthcare. Regression analysis was performed for selected indicators, which is crucial in assessing the degree to which the indicator explains the standard of living. The last part based on established methodology evaluates current situation in healthcare in relation to the standard of living in the Czech republic.

This thesis deals with development cooperation in the Indian region of Ladakh and its influence on the formation of traditional Ladakhi society. The work is based on literature review, which outlines the basic topics of development cooperation, the formation process of development perception itself and the question of aid effectiveness. Furthermore, for better understanding the context of the practical part theory deals with the characteristics of Ladakhi territory. The practical part consists of three sections. The first follows the book Ancient Futures written by economic analyst Helena Norberg - Hodge and analyze the current problems of Ladakh. The second part is focused on mapping the Czech development cooperation in Ladakh, Czech cooperation is then evaluated as a whole and proposals for improvement are suggested. In the third part the questionnaire survey among students examine differences in the value system of children in primary schools with presence of foreign organizations and schools without foreign presence.

The diploma thesis deals with the evaluation of the growth of cold-blooded stallions in pig breeding test rearing houses. The Czech Republic has set up three pig breeding test rearing houses. A total of 96 stallions were measured with 14 body measurements and they were also weighed whilst alive. Statistically significant differences were detected between breeds as well as between age groups when evaluating the intensity of growth of all measured body size and body weight. In most body sizes there were the biggest Silesian Norics horses (SN). At the age of two and a half years they stagnated growth in chest circumference, the circumference of the tibia and sternum height, even though it is stated in the Rules and Regulation of breeding book that SN mature between 5-6 years of age. During the evaluation there were no statistically significant differences between rearing houses. Stallions from the rearing house of Proseč prevailed in growth usually at the beginning of rearing, and later stallions from the rearing house of Dvorka at the age of one and a half year grew most. Stallions in the rearing house of Humňany had the lowest WHS, WHT and CC. The smallest variances of individual body size from the three studied cold-blooded breeds were detected by the CzechMoravian Belgian horse (CMB). This breed can therefore be regarded as the most well bred. The greatest value of the index body frame, the index heights in the crisis as well as index of severity were found in the breed SN. On the other hand CMB reached the lowest values in the above-mentioned indices and also in the index of boniness. Norick horses (N) have the most massive skeleton. In the scope of the height index of the sternum there was prevailed CMB at the beginning of rearing, but at the age of year and a half they began reaching a higher value N. This work was supported by the Project NAZV, project number QJ1510141 and project GAJU 019/2016/Z.

This diploma thesis, which is named "Economic Performance of the V4 Group" deals with the analysis of the performance the Visegrad Group's economics and its following comparison. In the theoretical part of this thesis is in the first place defined comparative economics and system of the national accounts, where are defined the indicators of economic performance, too. This part of the thesis deals farther with the theory of economic cycle and economic growth. In the practical part of this thesis is in the first place characterized the Visegrad group. Subsequently are presented the members countries and performed analysis of their economic performance in the year 2005 - 2014 by the indicators which are gross domestic product, gross national income and human development index. The last chapter of the practical part concerns the comparison of the economic performance of the individual states and the results are summarized in the conclusion of this thesis.

Grand fir (Abies grandis /Douglas ex D. Don/ Lindl.) is a species with potential benefits for the implementation of many functions in forest management: namely the function of production, soil improvement, stabilization and landscaping. It was introduced to the Czech Republic, as well as to other European countries, since the first half of the 19th century, mainly by aristocratic families. First plantings were performed in the parks, but gradually also in the forest stands. Another wave of interest in this tree species was associated with the decline of the domestic silver fir (Abies alba Mill.). It was to some extent substitute, for this period comes the greatest number of plantations in the country. The aim of this thesis is, therefore, monitoring of growth and production of the grand fir, but also the evaluation of the effects on the basic characteristics of the soil chemistry, nutrient dynamics and possible degradation effect on forest lands. Research areas were mainly located in the University Forest Enterprise Kostelec nad Černými lesy, but also in other places such as Hrubá Skála at Turnov, forests owned by Kinský at Žďár nad Sázavou and Kynšperk nad Ohří. Monitoring was carried out on already established and monitored middle-aged permanent plots (35 to 55 years), which were assessed at mensurational parameters (position, height, diameter at breast height, ratio of the green crown), in further the quantity and quality of forest floor and upper mineral soil components was studied. This work also contains the measurements of the provenance plot of Forestry and Game Management Research Institute. The results show that the grand fir is a productive tree species that exceeds the stock of domestic conifer tree species and its intensive growth is comparable with Douglas fir. From the perspective of provenance trials is crucial the correct choice of provenance, which achieves better yields and quality of wood. Best provenances come from the island Vancouver and the coast of Washington state. At the soil analysis reaching grand fir better values in comparison with Norway spruce and got it closer to the values of broad-leaved tree species. Thus it can be said that grand fir represents important soil-improving and stabilization tree species.

The diploma thesis is focusing on the topic of the regional product with the aiming on the regional food and gastro-tourism as a modern trend that can lead to the development of the tourism and regional development. The main goal of the diploma thesis is to show the importance of the regional product on the regional development of the Poděbrady region with the focus on the gastro-tourism that is developing in the recent years in the Czech Republic. On the basis of the quantitative research and the qualitative research, the thesis is finding out how the Poděbrady region stands from the point of view of the regional product, how the Poděbrady region supports the regional production, what its current status is, whether there are any regional feed in the Poděbrady region that should be local attraction for tourists, and what the attitudes of the respondents to regional production are. The questioning was realized by the questionnaire (quantitative research) and by interviews (qualitative research). The diploma thesis points out that the gastro-tourism usage for the regional development is very limited and it remains out of the interest of the regional representatives. The differentiation of regional activities is the way of fulfilling the capacity and ensuring the better probability of the faster development.

The successful production of quality early fish stages is crucial for artificial rearing fish species. Nevertheless, it is quite a problematic process, because fish as poikilothermic organisms are highly sensitive to various environmental conditions. Moreover, both fish embryos and larvae are more affected by biotic and abiotic factors (such as predation, stocking density, temperature, light, pH, salinity, oxygen saturation, feeding availability, or their interactions) than older juveniles or adults. Most fish processes such as reproduction, metabolism, survival, development and growth can be considerably (positively, negatively or not) influenced by these conditions. Therefore, it is important to understand their impacts on fish stages during embryonic, larval, juvenile, adult, and eventually the senescent period. Then, following the application of new knowledge to the practise, especially species- and age-specific optimal conditions, should result in higher survival, better growth rate, well developed fish without deformities and lower cannibalism. The objectives of the present thesis were to assess the effect of water temperature and light intensity on the early development (embryonic and larval period) of African sharptooth catfish as a perspective fish species for freshwater intensive aquaculture. Due to its great characteristics (for instance fast growth, ability to breathe atmospheric air, rearing at high stocking density) this species can meaningfully contribute to the global aquaculture production which is expected to rise in the coming years. However, there are still some difficulties in the early rearing African sharptooth catfish regarding the cannibalism, feeding, survival and necessity of detailed information about the effects of some abiotic factors and their interactions.

Thesis refers to the topic of differences in depth of experiencing the faith. It attempts to point out the importance of continuous self-consecration and building relationship with God. Evangelization is the main responsibility of the Church. It is aimed within the Church to ensure the spiritual growth of the faithful and also beyond to spread the glad tidings. Thesis provides examples of these actions through the description of the selected evangelization programs as Koinonia John the Baptist, Light-Life movement, Parish Evangelization Cells, House of Prayer and the Alpha course.

Evaluation of the circumference increment of Norway spruce focused on the effect of inter-tree competition in the mature spruce stand was made at the study site of Rájec (Drahanská vrchovina Highland) over a 5-year period. Data were collected from 49 trees, which were monitored continuously with mechanical band dendrometers from 2010 to 2014. The dependency of the circumference increment on competition index, diameter at breast height, Lang's rain factor, mean temperature of various periods and sum of precipitation of various periods was evaluated. Climatic conditions of the study site are characterised with warm and wet summers and cold-dry winters. In 5 years average around 61 % of the annual precipitation falls during growing season. There was highly significant correlation between relative increment and temperature (p=2.324e-13) and significant correlation between relative increment and precipitation (p=0.0439). The performed results confirmed that inter-tree competition and diameter at breast height are sufficient variables for circumference increment estimation of unmeasured trees in the particular year. Coefficient of determination reached 0.25 - 0.63 for competition and 0.40 - 0.84 for tree diameter at breast height. The present investigation brings important results about tree growth and seasonal growth dynamics and its relation with competition and microclimatic conditions in mature spruce stand. It is obvious that unsuitable climatic conditions for spruce can lead to stem shrinkage during growing season. Here we assume that these responses are caused mostly by water storage deficit in stem and this leads to decreasing of the tree vitality. Such phenomenon will have significantly negative ecological and economic consequences in expected climatic changes in the future.

The aim of this master thesis was to evaluate the effect of the year on the growth ability and the birth process of charolais breed at the selected organic farm. Review is focused on the characteristics of charolais, breeding, performance testing, births, birth weight, growth, calving season, livestock grazing, organic farming and cattle breeding in organic farming. Evaluated results from the growth ability recording scheme on the private organic farm were described in experimental part of this work. Measured values were birth weight, weight in 120 and 210 days. Further the experimental part was focused on the birth process. All presented results were compared with values from the Czech Republic records. It has been found that charolais from the organic private farm has higher average growth ability compares to the Czech Republic. In the years 2011 to 2015 was measured average birth weight of 46.7 kg for bulls and 42.9 kg for heifers. Average weight at 120 days was 196.1 kg for bulls and 180.3 kg for heifers. Average weight at 210 days was 324.7 kg for bulls and 295.1 kg for heifers. The births were almost always evaluated like easy in the monitored farm. During evaluating calving season, results show 63% of the births from January to March. At the end is evaluate the impact of the air temperature and rainfall on the yield on feed, where we can say that for the growth of grassland is not important how many millimeters of annual rainfall is, but the distribution and frequency of rainfall.
