This work analyzes the contagion effects between energy and CEE financial markets during the two crisis periods (global financial crisis 2008-2009 and energy market crisis 2014), using a sample of daily data from 2004 till 2015. We detect contagion by observing the degree and structure of two dummy variables for specified crisis periods included into the quantile regression models on the basis of a dependence measure called "coexceedances". Our results show that there are significant contagion effects present between the gasoil and CEE stock markets during the 2008-2009 period and mixed evidence of contagion between crude oil market and CEE stock markets. CEE stock markets do not appear to exhibit significant contagion effects with energy markets during the recent energy market crisis. These results substantially differ from those found in the developed European markets. In particular, our results indicate that energy markets and stock markets in developed Europe seem to display significant contagion effects during the 2014-2015 period. Keywords: Central and Eastern Europe, contagion, energy market, quantile regression

The aim of this diploma thesis is to suggest the best locality in the CEE region for a prospective investment in wind farms for an undisclosed Czech company. This goal is to be achieved by comparison of generic projects that have the same technical specification, capital expenditures and operating expenses. These projects are investigated from different perspectives including wind conditions, financing terms, technology constraints and mainly the legal aspects of each respective country -- namely the regulatory environment for wind power-offtake either feed-in tariff or green certificate support schemes. The NPV of FCF and IRR (MIRR) are to be used for evaluation of these projects. Sensitivity analysis for key drivers will complement prior assumptions.

In my work I have focused on the Eastern Partnership (EaP) as an instrument of EU (foreign) policy towards its eastern neighbors with regard to the geopolitical implications of collaboration through the given initiative. My ambition has been to identify the potential benefits of initiating the project, especially in political-security and energy aspects. The first chapter focuses on the theoretical concept of geopolitics as well as the geopolitical definition of the East-European region. The second chapter is devoted to the conceptualisation of the EaP as an specific instrument of the European foreign policy as well as the concrete implementation of the EaP in practice. The third chapter deals with particular relevance to this project with the (geo)strategic objectives of the EU as well as the analysis of the EaP in terms of effective functioning.

The General government debt development is very discussed and present topic nowadays. The worldwide bad situation caused by strong growth of the public debt is being worsened due to the present economic crisis. The main goal of this diploma is to analyze the development of the General government debt of all the member states of the European Union in the first decade of the 21. century, to evaluate the main aspects of the public debt and to predict its possible future development.

Cyprinid herpesvirus 3 (CyHV-3) also known as koi herpesvirus (KHV) is a causative agent of highly contagious disease (koi herpesvirus disease) and can cause significant losses in fish stocks. The disease is restricted to koi and common carp, but recent investigations have shown that other cyprinids as well as non-cyprinid species may be asymptomatically susceptible to this virus and might play roles as potential carriers or can contribute to biological conservation leading to persistence of this virus in environment. Therefore, it seems to be important to verify not only the susceptibility of other cyprinid and non-cyprinid species, but also their ability to transmit KHV infection to susceptible species. We investigated the susceptibility of stone loach (Barbatula barbatula) and sterbel - a hybrid between sterlet (Acipenser ruthenus) and beluga (Huso huso) to KHV. The investigation was performed by means of their cohabitation together with na?ve koi and intraperitoneally KHV-infected koi (primary challenge). This part of investigation is followed by secondary challenge, when a portion of the surviving stone loach and sterbel was cohabited with health na?ve koi (testing of ability to carry KHV). All samples of fish both from primary challenge and secondary challenge were tested for the presence of KHV DNA by nested PCR. In the primary challenge, results of PCR revealed the presence of KHV DNA in 95% of cohabited na?ve koi samples. Furthermore, PCR analysis of fish samples surviving primary challenge revealed the presence of viral DNA in 77.8% (7/9) of stone loach and in 22.2% (2/9) of sterbel. In case of samples of fish coming from secondary challenge, nested PCR did not reveal any of them to be positive for KHV DNA. Next investigation was focused on assessment of the susceptibility of topmouth gudgeon (Pseudorasbora parva). In this case, we performed cohabitation based on two different conditions. All experiments consisted of primary and secondary challenges as well as in all previous cases. Firstly, we tested topmouth gudgeon under standard conditions (no-stress experiment). After the primary challenge, nested PCR did not reveal the presence of KHV DNA in any specimen of cohabited topmouth gudgeon, but all specimens of dead koi were KHV DNA positive. Nested PCR of fish tissues subjected to the secondary challenge did not show the transfer of virus to naive fish. After that, we changed the experimental conditions and we applied two stress factors (scaring by net and removal of skin mucus) to imitate the stress most commonly encountered in the wild. In this case, all samples were tested for the presence of KHV DNA using real-time PCR. After exposure to stress (removal of skin mucus), real-time PCR revealed four out of five samples (80%) of topmouth gudgeon to be positive for KHV DNA. Two out of five samples (40%) of topmouth gudgeon treated by scaring were found to be positive for the presence of viral DNA. Real-time PCR after the secondary challenge did not reveal any viral DNA positivity in specimens of topmouth gudgeon from groups previously exposed to stress. The stress experiments showed that removal of skin mucus might potentially lead to susceptibility of topmouth gudgeon to CyHV-3 infection, but the transmission of the virus to koi carp was not observed. Even though PCRs positive findings of KHV DNA in tissues of fish were relatively low, the presented results of cohabitation assays of cyprinid and non-cyprinid fish species indicate other species showing slight asymptomatic susceptibility to CyHV-3. On the other hand, on the base of our results coming from "virus-carrier" assays, we could not prove that hybrids between sterlet and beluga, stone loach and topmouth gudgeon can transfer this virus to naive koi.

This thesis was focused on invasive fish species, especially prussian carp (Carassius auratus gibelio) and topmouth gudeon (Pseudorasbora parva) in the Sokolov area and their potential impact on native fish species population in the post-mining water reservoirs. The aim was to compare reservoirs with and without specific maintenance.
