Seed vigor was evaluated as germination percentage at low temperature (10 °C) and drought (-0,2 MPa), and also as germination parameters (energy, rate and index). 133 double-haploid lines (DHL) and their parents were evaluated in six environments. The total variation consisted of 51% by environments, 8% by lines and 37% by their interaction. The better parents showed higher vigor when harvested in worse location. The other parameters were controlled similarly (34,7 -- 41,0% location, 24,9 -- 32,9% year and 8 -- 37% by the lines. The results can be used as support for breeding for higher grain vigor not only for better agronomic but also for higher malting value.

HRNČIAROVÁ, Slavomíra: Evaluation of the Impact of the Construction and Operation of the Moravian Karst Singletrail (Singletrail Moravský kras) on the Vitality of Crowns of Trees Growing Nearby. [Master's thesis] – Mendel University in Brno. Faculty of Forestry and Wood Technology; Department of Landscape Management. Supervisor: doc. Ing. Petr Hrůza, Ph.D. Brno: Mendel University, 2019. In a number of instances, the role of forests is no longer tantamount to that of a mere source of wood. Rather, they are widely perceived as places of recreation. In conjunction with the ever-increasing trend of recreational use of forest stands, the question arises as to the extent to which such activities have been reflected in the overall vitality and stability of forest stands as well as of entire ecosystems. The thesis focuses on evaluation of the impact of the operation of the Moravian Karst Singletrail (Singletrail Moravský kras) on the vitality of trees in its immediate proximity. Using the ICP – Forests methodology, basic habitual properties with respect to selected routes of the Moravian Karst Singletrail (Singletrail Moravský kras) have been evaluated.

In this thesis entitled "Evaluation of dendrological potential and proposal of cultivation measures", there are described methodological procedures for tree species evaluation, cultivation measures proposals, and possible interpretation of found facts. An inventory of species was made at the turn of the year 2015 and 2016. The field research was carried out in the park of the Opava town.In total, 691 trees, 13 bushes, and 38 bushes groups were evaluated.The acquired data were used for the evaluation of the state of the object and for the calculation of proposed cultivation measures. In the end of the thesis, there are described suggestions for improvement of the current state of the object and recommendations for adding missing items to the catalogue of guide prices of URS.

This thesis focuses on problems related to unregulated construction of shopping malls in the city centres. Shopping malls are often built considering their negative effects on small merchants, urban environment etc. This particular problem was analyzed in two cities (Pardubice and Liberec) using elements of Retail Impact Assessment study and counterfactual impact evaluation method. Results showed that placing the shopping malls to the city centre changes the structure of retail units in its vicinity. Since customers prefer larger shopping facilities, their shopping behaviour changes, and small merchants are forced to addapt and compete with "all under one roof" shopping centers. Some of them cannot compete with these centers and are forced to close. Contribution of this research focuses on application of unique methods which indicated a need to regulate and coordinate building of large shopping centers within Czech cities. Key words: retail impact assessment, city centre, vitality, shopping mall

The thesis provides a detailed grammatical and lexical description of Vend Romani, an under- described dialect of Romani spoken in the Transdanubian region of Hungary, and describes its current sociolinguistic situation. The linguistic data are based on recordings of spontaneous narratives, semi-structured interviews, and linguistic elicitation by means of standardized dialectological questionnaires acquired during linguistic field research. The thesis is structured into six main chapters: The first chapter deals with the sources of data and methods. The second chapter examines the factors that influence the sociolinguistic vitality of the dialect. The following three chapters are devoted to the grammatical description. The sixth chapter analyses the layers of borrowings in Vend Romani. The thesis also includes the basic vocabulary of Vend Romani translated to English.

This study deals with Czech speakers in Australia, focusing on their use of the Czech and English languages as tools of belonging to a community. Its aim is to discuss the situation of Czech speakers on the continent from the perspective of a small Czech language in an English-speaking country. The starting point for the study is scientific publications on bilingualism, multilingualism and transnationalism issued in the Czech and English-speaking environments. Another source is books about the history of the immigration and language policies in Australia and about the Australian identity. Finally, the methods involve field research based on participant observation of groups of Czechs in social networks and during Czech church services in Sydney in November 2015. Fieldwork is also based on semi-structured interviews which took place in Australia between August 2014 and January 2016. They were intended to study the reality of Czech speakers in Australia and to illustrate the theories on the use of language by bilingual speakers in the Australian context. The first part of this study gives the theoretical background to the notions of transnationalism, belonging to a group, bilingualism and changes in language use. The second part focuses on language and immigration policies of the states of Australia...
