Youth In Cooperatives in Georgia
Šrůtková, Petra; Mazancová, Jana; Zagata, Lukáš
English
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the productivity of agriculture sector started decreasing despite of the agricultural potential of Georgia, and the subsequent civil war caused a lot of people to emigrate. There has been a long-term decreasing trend in the rural population and agricultural production. That is why The European Neighbourhood Programme for Agricultural and Rural Development in Georgia (ENPARD) with the main objectives to increase food production and reduce rural poverty in Georgia through agri-cooperatives, was established and 11 cooperatives was set up in the Imereti by the time of our research. The aim of this research was to analyse the involvement of youth in cooperatives in Imereti region in Georgia and to identify some of the factors related to the agricultural cooperatives and the rural-urban migration. The data for this qualitative research was collected through semi-structured questionnaires with young members of cooperatives (N=11) and semi-structured interviews with members of the Board (N=5) and key informants (N=2) in July 2015. The Likert-scale and the Ranking score method were used for some questions in the questionnaire. We found out that the enterprise of a cooperative could be attractive for youth and women who want to engage in agriculture and it could possibly restrict rural-urban migration. Our respondents who were already members of a cooperative seemed quite satisfied according to their statements in the coops. We also indentified two main factors that had an influence on their staying in rural areas and working in agriculture (family, family farming tradition) and the prime impulse and motivation for joining the cooperative.

European Monetary Union: Optimum Currency Area Index
Gouri Boyinová, Sumudu Namali; Maitah, Mansoor; Anna, Anna
English
This goal of this diploma thesis is to compare and evaluate Euro area member states using the optimum currency area index (OCA index). Optimum currency area (OCA) theory serves as a guideline when analysing the selected Euro area countries. The thesis attempts to calculate the OCA index and the alternative OCA calculation (CNB) for Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Germany, Estonia, Spain, Finland, France, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Portugal, Slovenia, and Slovakia. The results indicate that the traditional OCA index to a certain extent explains exchange rate variability. It concludes that the design of the OCA index is not considered adequate for the current economic environment, and we do not consider it an appropriate benchmark (in its original form) to determine if the country is suitable to become a member of the monetary union.

In vitro antioxidative effect of medicinal plants from Ghana
Addai, Benjamin Berkoh; Kokoška, Ladislav; Tauchen, Jan
English
The in vitro antioxidative activity of crude extracts derived from sixteen Ghanaian plant species (Allophylus spicatus, Cnestis ferruginea, Ficus thonningii, Indigofera hirsuta, Indigofera pulchra, Launaea taraxacifolia, Leea guineense, Mikaniopsis tedliei, Millettia thonningii, Philenoptera cyanescens, Salacia senegalensis, Senna occidentalis, Stachytarpheta indica, Tiliacora warneckei, Triumfetta rhomboidea, Vernonia colorata) were tested in frame of this study using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging capacity assay. The extract from the bark of Indigofera hirsuta has been found as the most active sample (IC50 = 12.84 more or less 0.82 microgram per millitres), because its activity is very close to the positive control Trolox and ascorbic acid. We expect that this finding may be used by pharmaceutical industry for development of new herbal-based nutraceuticals and pharmaceutical preparations.

Impact of habitat loss on anuran diversity in different parts of Serra do Mar, the largest remnant of Mata Atlantica, SE Brazil
Holer, Tomáš; Hejcmanová, Pavla; Solský, Milič
English
Mata Atlantica is one of the ancient forests. It is one of the five South American biodiversity hotspots. In the recent time, over 90% percent of this rich and unique biome has been lost. This loss and huge fragmentation of the forest, resulted in a decrease and extinction of many populations of endemic species of plants and animals. Over 450 amphibian species lives in the Atlantic forest of which 60% are endemic. My research area was localized inside one of the largest Atlantic forest fragments, Serra do Mar, in the buffer area of Serra da Bocaina National Park, Brazil. Aims of these thesis were to identify the anuran diversity in the abovementioned area, estimate species habitat preferences and compare the preferred habitat map of the three model species, with their distribution maps available on their IUCN Red List account. The methodology consisted of two parts. Three line transects were placed in three different forest parts and elevations. Three night and three day surveys were done on each transect by three people. Second part was non-invasive species identification on five selected breeding ponds in the research area. During my research, 31 species of frogs were recorded and 27 of them were identified, belonging to 8 families. Hylidae (16), Hylodidae (1), Bufonidae (2), Odontophrynidae (3), Craugastoridae (1), Brachycephalidae (3), Leptodactylidae (4), Centrolenidae (1). None of those frogs are endangered according to their IUCN Red List status (1 Data Deficient, rest Least Concern). After revision and re-estimation of three model species (Aplastodiscus callipygius, Cruz and Peixoto, 1985, Adenomera marmorata, Steindachner, 1867, Haddadus binotatus, Spix, 1824) distribution maps, according to their preferred habitat, using distribution maps available on IUCN Red List, It has been found, that the endanger status of many species of frogs is most likely underestimated. Results of this thesis suggest, that large-scale research should be conducted, to get more knowledge of Mata Atlantica amphibians, to understand their behavior and ecology and through the knowledge find the way how to protect them.

Soils in Africa as source of mineral nutrition for large herbivores
Stoklasová, Lucie; Hejcmanová, Pavla; Pavlů, Vilém
English
Abstract
The aim of this study under the topic, Soils in Africa as source of mineral nutrition for large herbivores was to analyze soil in two reserves in Senegal. The first one was the Bandia reserve and the second one was the Fathala reserve. At these reserves a concervation program of Western Derby Eland (Taurotragus derbianus) is been run by Czech university of Life Sciences in Prague. The purpose of this research was to find out if these soils can be used as source of minerals for large herbivores practicing geophagy. This phenomen of deliberate ingestion of soil is well documented among wild animals and also among humans. The animals were observed eating soil in the past and in Bandia reserve artifical mineral licks are provided. They are many important factors that are considered for animals which eat soil. Three major ones that were tested include mineral concentrations, pH and clay content. Mineral concentrations were tested by the use of X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy analysis, pH was tested by soil pH meter and clay content was established by particle size distribution analysis. Suitability of soil was fulfilled just in two of the factors which are clay content and pH. Mineral concentrations were found to be too low to supply animals needs. It was also proved that there is signifiant difference in soil characteristics between different habitats (dry and wet) and reserves.

Macroeconomic Influence of Immigrants on the Czech Republic
Sycheva, Yulia; Maitah, Mansoor; Anna, Anna
English
This diploma thesis analyses the influence of immigrants on the Czech foreign direct investment (FDI) between 1999 and 2013 among 18 countries with an account for the biggest immigration stock in the Czech Republic.
The general aim is to organise the gathered knowledge about positive and negative sides of immigration for the economy, as well as, to research new areas which were not covered for the Czech Republic: trade and immigration dependency.
The research is based on the economic and econometric theory building the estimated model.
The econometric analysis found a correlation between dependent variable FDI and some of the independent variables including immigration as the main explanatory variable.
The estimated effect proved to have the explained causality of immigration effect on investments.
Therefore study concludes that the immigrant network stimulates the information flow from their country of origin to the host country, indirectly increasing the volume of the investment in the Czech Republic and therefore immigrants have a positive effect on FDI stock in this country.

Development of a tool for digital terrain analysis
Rapoport, Daria; Barták, Vojtěch; Bašta, Petr
English
Component of many hydrological applications using digital terrain models is the calculation of flow accumulation and specific catchment area, which are broadly used conceptions in hydrological modelling.
The goal of this diploma thesis was a proposal of tools for calculation of flow accumulation and specific catchment area by Multiple Flow Direction (MFD) algorithm as more appropriate for many hydrological applications then Single Flow Direction algorithm built-in in ArcGIS. The toolset should serve as an educational and research tool at the Faculty of Environmental Sciences, CULS, but not only there.
The theoretical part of the thesis gives examples of digital terrain models applications in general and in hydrology, summarizes basic methods that define flow direction and flow accumulation of surface runoff in grid-based terrain models and their significance for hydrological modelling. Selected methods and their implementations are described in details in methodological part of the thesis. The tools were created in Python language and may be used in ArcGIS interface.
The functionality of the toolset was tested on a coarse-resolution hydrologically correct digital terrain model of basin Moravian Dyje and simulation results has been extensively compared to those produced by Single Flow direction algorithm.
It is suggested that created toolset would be developed further in direction of calculation of additional related terrain attributes (e.g.Topographic Wetness Index), river network extraction with MFD, dealing with flat and sink areas in input DEM, and other flow direction algorithms implementation.
