The aim of this bachelor thesis is to make a schedule of Fridays "Forrest days for kindergarten children" from Slapy near Tábor. Theoretical part deals with the influence of nature to children and their all-round development. Further it brings processed information in the form of literary research of history of the city Slapy, Silver nature trail Tábor Horky Větrovy, specific animals, trees and plants around the city Slapy. The practical part creates particular programmes for 5 Forrest days and three of them were realized. Children got to know nature and history of city Slapy and its around.

A comparative analysis of various parameters that characterize plant morphology, growth, water status, photosynthesis, cell damage, and antioxidative and osmoprotective systems together with an iTRAQ analysis of the leaf proteome was performed in two inbred lines of maize (Zea mays L.) differing in drought susceptibility and their reciprocal F1 hybrids. The aim of this study was to dissect the parent-hybrid relationships to better understand the mechanisms of the heterotic effect and its potential association with the stress response. The results clearly showed that the four examined genotypes have completely different strategies for coping with limited water availability and that the inherent properties of the F1 hybrids, i.e. positive heterosis in morphological parameters (or, more generally, a larger plant body) becomes a distinct disadvantage when the water supply is limited. However, although a greater loss of photosynthetic efficiency was an inherent disadvantage, the precise causes and consequences of the original predisposition towards faster growth and biomass accumulation differed even between reciprocal hybrids. Both maternal and paternal parents could be imitated by their progeny in some aspects of the drought response (e.g., the absence of general protein down-regulation, changes in the levels of some carbon fixation or other photosynthetic proteins). Nevertheless, other features (e.g., dehydrin or light-harvesting protein contents, reduced chloroplast proteosynthesis) were quite unique to a particular hybrid. Our study also confirmed that the strategy for leaving stomata open even when the water supply is limited (coupled to a smaller body size and some other physiological properties), observed in one of our inbred lines, is associated with drought-resistance not only during mild drought (as we showed previously) but also during more severe drought conditions.

Background: Azorella compacta is traditionally used in the form of tea (infusion), in the Andean region of South America, to treat various chronic diseases. However, the health-promoting properties of this herbal tea have not yet been extensively explored. Materials and Methods: The free radical scavenging activity of A. compacta infusion (ACI) was evaluated by the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical and superoxide anion radical assays. The activation of immune cells by ACI, as determined by cell surface cluster of differentiation 69 expression, was measured by flow cytometry. The qualitative polyphenolic composition of ACI was investigated by HPLC/PDA/ESI-MS, (High-performance liquid chromatography coupled with photodiode array detection and electrospray ionization - mass spectrometry) and the total content of polyphenols was estimated by spectrophotometric methods. Results: Eight polyphenols including chlorogenic acid, 6,8-di-C-hexosyl apigenin, isoorientin, orientin, dicaffeoylquinic acid, biochanin A-O-glucoside, biochanin A-O-(malonyl)-glucoside, and licoisoflavone A were tentatively identified in ACI. The total contents of phenols, flavonoids, and tannins in lyophilized ACI were 5.40 mg/100 mg ACI, 1.79 mg/100 mg ACI, and 1.76 mg/100 mg ACI, respectively. ACI, within the range of 25-400 μg/mL, scavenged DPPH and O2.– by 15-90% and 20-88%, respectively. The human natural killer (NK) cells were substantially activated by ACI, whereas T cells and granulocytes were slightly stimulated. Conclusion: Overall, the results demonstrate the free radical scavenging and immune-stimulating properties of ACI, and support, at least in part, its potential utilization as a functional herbal tea. for preventing chronic diseases and as a nonspecific immune stimulator during human immunosenescence. SUMMARY The total contents of phenols, flavonoids, and tannins in Azorella compacta infusion (ACI) were 5.40 mg/100 mg ACI, 1.79 mg/100 mg ACI, and 1.76 mg/100 mg ACI, respectively.Eight polyphenols including chlorogenic acid, 6,8-di-C-hexosyl apigenin, isoorientin, orientin, dicaffeoylquinic acid, biochanin A-O-glucoside, biochanin A-O-(malonyl)-glucoside, and licoisoflavone A were tentatively identified in ACI by HPLC/PDA/ESI-MS.ACI, within the range of 25-400 μg/ml, scavenged 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and O2. by 15-90% and 20-88%, respectively.The human natural killer (NK) cells were substantially activated by ACI, whereas T cells and granulocytes were slightly stimulated.

The topic of this master thesis is to compare benefits from the building society account with the mortgage loan. The whole comparison will be done according to the new legislative. The aim of this study is to find whether it is more profitable to invest into your property with the mortgage or the building society account. For this collation eight different companies are approached. Four of them are building societies and four are banks. The experts from those companies were given three examples with different height of LTV from different applicants with different purposes. Those experts also assessed which indicators applicants should consider. According to these recommendations clients have ordered indicators by their assumed importance. Finally offers were evaluated by TOPSIS method and ordered by its advantageousness.

in English language This bachelor thesis deals with the comparison of the World War I reaction in Czech and world literature. Three works from the Czech literature and two novels from the world literature were chosen. Each of them has been analysed regarding its composition, characters and the main idea. The main focus was on how the war effected the human behaviour. In the analyses the historical context and individual authors were taken into account. In the course of writing the thesis was found out that the WWI reactions differ in many ways regarding for the authors' intentions, their personal war experience and also for the war situation which each of the authors' home country was in.

This bachelor thesis deals with immigration integration politics and programmes of the Czech Republic and the Great Britain, with the main focus on the integration of immigrant children into the society and education system. The work is divided into two parts: each one gives information about Czech and British immigration history and development, integration policies, and the main issues that each of the country is dealing with. All the information and data used in the text come from the latest research and from updated source documents.

The aims of bachelor´s thesis are to compare individual type of payments and to describe present condition system of payment in the Czech Republic. The theoretical part deals with legislation on system of payment, history of money and history of banking. The next chapter defines cash and cashless payment as well as payment systems. In the practical part of bachelor´s thesis principle the payment systems - CERTIS and TARGET - is cleared up. Then, the fees for payment in Czech banks are compared. The authoress chose the three biggest bank and the one newest bank in the Czech Republic for interesting contrast. Last part shows outcomes of questionary, where 162 respondents replied to 17 questions about system of payment. The questionary was prepared for this thesis and the answers are confront with annual reports of individual bank.

In this work, I describe the history of money, when, how and why it arose. Also, I will consider what the advantages and disadvantages of different forms of money. As the last chapter in the history of money I will bring the historical reasons for conversion to another currency. Next I will address the present. Present way of emissions and forms of money, mainly on the role of cash and non-cash money now and in the future. The last block of work will be devoted to transition to another currency. I'll look at what the Czech Republic should expect from the adoption of the euro and to recommend measures that should be taken to avoid subsequent problems such as inflation. In this chapter, I will work with the experience of other countries in the European Union, especially with experience in Slovakia.

I focused on the internal environment of company Centropen. When exploring this area I utilised several methods. They included setting up of the Boston Matrix, an analysis of sources and competences according to functional areas and a SWOT analysis. In order to obtain complete data for SWOT analysis, which partially merges the diagnostics of an internal and external environment, I briefly referred to the Porter´s model and described the market characteristics.
