VACHTARČÍKOVÁ, Nela; SCHLOSSAREK, Martin; DANĚK, Tomáš
2019 - English
Znečištění venkovního ovzduší je problémem ve většině členských zemí Evropské Unie, Českou republiku nevyjímaje. Jedna z oblastí s nejvíce znečištěným ovzduší prachovými částicemi, je okres Ostrava. V tomto okrese se nachází hned několik zdrojů emisí prachových částic. Tato práce analyzuje trend znečištění venkovního ovzduší prachovými částicemi v této oblasti během let 2004-2017. Pozornost je soustředěna na právní úpravu, síť měřících stanic, zdroje emisí a hodnoty prachových částic. Druhá část zkoumá možné a preferované vývoje trendu znečištění ovzduší prachovými částicemi a dále navrhuje opatření, která musejí být podniknuta, aby bylo dosaženo scénáře preferované budoucnosti.

The effectiveness of Joint Forest Management approach on the sustainable livelihood of rural people: A case study from Kyrgyzstan
TOKTOROVA, Zhyldyz; OPRŠAL, Zdeněk; NOVÁČEK, Pavel
2019 - English
The Joint Forest Management (JFM) approach in Kyrgyzstan has been officially operated for over a decade, setting a stage for its current status investigation. This thesis work aims to assess the effectiveness of JFM on sustainable livelihoods generation of local people and identify the changes in the forest coverage occurred due to JFM implementation in the period from 2007 to 2017 through the case study of Arstanbap-Ata Forest Management Division of Arslanbob Forest, Kyrgyzstan. The study has been conducted on a sample group of 80 households based on the recall analysis method. The research found out that, on an average, JFM has increased the livelihood assets for almost half (44,03%) of the respondents, with the highest improvement reported in financial (72,81%) and physical (48,90%) assets, but in the case of social, natural, and human capitals, the enhancement has not been as high as the other two ones. The investigation has also revealed that unfortunately, the forest coverage of Arstanbap-Ata Forest Management Division has been diminishing in the last ten years by putting its sustainability at stake in the long-run period. It is recommended that the Forest Agency should address the problem of weak incentives within the Forest Management Division by revising its current administrative and financing conditions, set clear-cut separation of duties between stakeholders, ensure equal treatment in the competition process and fair allocation of forest plots, and put a greater emphasis on outreach and forest conservation awareness.

The Role of Not for Profit Organisations in Disaster Preparedness, Management and Resilience in the Countries of Operation
KIRUNGI, Raymond; OPRŠAL, Zdeněk; ŘÍKOVSKÝ, Jan
2019 - English
Not for Profit Organisations have over the years increasingly been seen as a player in disaster preparedness and management with a contribution to the resilience achieved by the communities they operate in vulnerable to disasters. The contribution made is yet to be quantified and the role played yet to be understood and defined in context and scope. This thesis employs a qualitative methodology with a corroboration of 3 methods that complement each other and have been instrumental in identifying the networks vital to the roles of the NPOs and how they facilitate their roles. This study is significant in highlighting the growing relationship between the NPOs, governments and communities in the latter's pursuit of resilience.

Household Food Insecurity in Urban Slums: A Case Study of Dhaka City, Bangladesh
BHATTACHARJEE, Poushali; VAGGI, Gianni; SASSI, Maria
2019 - English
Bangladesh is the 10th most densely populated country in the world which put stress on its ability to secure the equal right to food for all group of people irrespective of socioeconomic condition. The National Food Policy of the country declared slum households as one of the most distressed groups in terms of fulfilling the nutritional need. The capital city Dhaka alone is the living place of humongous number (1.06 million) of slum population. The study conducted on 580 households of Dhaka City Corporation area has identified 75.52% of the households as food insecure by comparing their calorie intake with the energy requirement threshold for Bangladesh (2430 Kcal/AE/Day). The majority share of the calorie in their everyday diet plan came mostly from cereals, sugar, oil, and outside meal, which showcased a poor quality of diet. The households spent the lion's share of their monthly expenditure (72.77%) only on food consumption, which compelled to cut off essential nonfood expenditure. The Inverse Hyperbolic Sine transformed Double Hurdle model has been applied, to analyze the determinants of the presence and depth of food insecurity among households, as it accommodates the heteroskedastic, correlated and not normally distributed error. The Per capita monthly income; percentage of food expenditure; diet diversity; household size; sex of household head; number of the female wage earner, children under five years and unemployed person within 15 to 64 years; proportion of adult female member and location of the slum were significant factors determining the food security status of households. Whereas, while exploring the determinants of the depth in food calorie gap among food insecure households, some other factors like wealth index, source of drinking water, overall HH security and migration of HH head from abroad came out as important factors along with the previous factor list except for the sex of the household head. To improve the situation of the slum dwellers, the government should concentrate on more coverage of social safety net programs, legal service provision of water and sanitation and human capital development-oriented program and training primarily focusing the women.

National identity in the discourse of nationalist and populist parties in Europe: the dismantlement of multiple belonging and its social and political implications in terms of exclusion and development
PALACIOS HIDALGO, Romina Pamela; ŠERÝ, Miloslav; DUŠKOVÁ, Lenka
2019 - English
The popularity of right-wing populist parties has significantly increased in Europe in the last two decades. As a consequence, the impact of their discourse on national identity has also grown as these parties have progressively acquired stronger platforms for the dissemination of their ideas. In this context, the aim of the present research is to analyze and compare how national identity is constructed in the discourse of two European right-wing populist leaders, Viktor Orbán in Hungary and Matteo Salvini in Italy, and identify the mechanisms used by these figures for the dismantlement of multiple belonging in identity as well as the main social implications of this process in terms of exclusion and development. The present work uses Critical Discourse Analysis methods and theories to identify the discursive elements through which national identity and belonging are constructed by the right-wing populist parties. When contrasting the main messages conveyed by these parties regarding identity and belonging with globally agreed principles for human development, the evidence shows that the non-recognition of intersectional identities contributes to the exclusion of minorities and the legitimization of violence towards them, undermining their right to development.

Understanding Human-Centered Design in the Context of Global Health and Development
GOSZTONYI, Ákos; KYNČLOVÁ, Tereza; DUŠKOVÁ, Lenka
2019 - English
In this inquiry I problematize the emerging trend of adopting human-centered design (HCD) approaches in development projects and especially in projects related to global health. I locate my study in post-structuralist literature and provide a reading of the intertwined discourse of global health and development. I deploy the concepts of biopolitics, psychopolitics, episteme and biomedicalization to enable critical interpretations of HCD and the (re)constructions and (re)negotiations of the human in the center, after establishing the method of ensembling the corpus of my analysis. I pose the questions of who and what the human is in the center and what political implications may arise depending on its discoursive formations. I also highlight linkages between HCD and two development theories to help "development specialists" position themselves in relation to HCD. The thesis fills in the gap in the literature on HCD in terms of critically engaging with "scientific" representations of/in HCD projects through Foucauldian critical discourse analysis. The relevance of my study lies in the timeliness of the trend of applying HCD in development and global health, and in the rather novel application of discourse analysis. The interpretations I provide are opening the door for further analyses.
