Leisure Time Centre Brno

Předmětem této bakalářské práce je návrh centra volného času. Území pro stavbu, v Brně – Novém Lískovci, je ze třech světových stran obestavěno panelovými a řadovými terasovými budovami. Ty jsou navzájem opticky propojeny a ohraničují tak prostor, ve kterém se nově navrhovaný objekt bude nacházet. Stavební parcelou také procházejí komunikace, zejména pěší, které okolní objekty propojují. Centrum volného času by mělo do tohoto veřejného prostoru pumpovat aktivitu potřebnou pro spokojený život jeho obyvatel. Tak jako to dělá srdce v lidském těle. Křivka srdeční aktivity se pak stala inspirací pro tvar samotného objektu - dynamická hrana šikmých střech v pohledu připomíná všem známou křivku kontrakcí srdce. Při návrhu jsem se snažil o návaznost nového objektu na stávající komunikace, optimální začlenění do terénu a nezastínění výhledu ze stávajících okolních budov. Díky těmto požadavkům vznikla hmota dvoupodlažního objektu s lomenými střechami. Přechod z prvního do druhého podlaží je v místě největšího převýšení původního terénu, čímž se také minimalizovaly terénní úpravy na stavební parcele. Rastr fasády byl inspirován obrazy Pieta Mondriana. Konstrukčně je řešena jako provětrávaná s obkladem vláknocementových desek Cembonit FDA v bílé barvě a dvou odstínech barvy šedé. Panely jsou horizontálně členěny v modulu 0,5m a vertikálně dle jednotlivých výškových úrovní budovy. Podařilo se sjednotit čistý a pravidelný rastr fasády včetně oken a vstupního prostoru.The aim of this thesis is a design of a leisure time centre. The intended location in Brno – Nový Lískovec adjoins optically interconnected tower blocks and group terrace houses on three of its sides. Additionally, there are walkways going through the site that connect the surrounding buildings. The centre should deliver the activity necessary for a fulfilling life similarly as the heart delivers blood in a human body. The heartbeat curve has therefore been an inspiration for the design of the edifice as is apparent from the dynamic edges of sloping roofs. During the design process I tried to link the centre to the existing walkways, integrate it as well as possible into the terrain and make sure that no view from the surrounding buildings is disrupted. This is why the two-floor design with angular roofs was chosen. The first floor verges into the second one where there is maximum super-elevation of the original terrain thus minimizing the need for grading. Piet Mondrian’s paintings have been an inspiration for the texture of the façade. Construction-wise, the building is designed as a ventilated one and its walls are covered with cement fibre panels (Cembonit FDA) in white and in two shades of grey. The panels are 0.5 m wide and tall according to individual levels of the edifice. This way I managed to unify the clean, regular grid of the façade with the windows and the access area.

Remuneration of members of governing bodies of joint-stock companies

Odměňování členů statutárních orgánů akciových společností Problematika odměňování členů statutárních orgánů akciových společností je velmi aktuálním tématem. Cílem této práce je pojednat o této problematice a základních tématech, porovnat úpravu odměňování před a po rekodifikaci soukromého práva a srovnat českou úpravu s úpravou britskou. První kapitola práce vymezuje základní pojmy, definuje cíle a metodologii zpracování a nastiňuje relevantní ekonomické koncepty (problém pána a správce, fragmentace vlastnictví akciových společností). Druhá kapitola se zabývá souběhem funkce člena orgánu a pracovněprávního vztahu. Tento souběh byl v minulosti předmětem určité právní nejistoty. Třetí kapitola se zabývá podmínkami vzniku nároku na odměnu. Úprava odměňování po rekodifikaci je založena na zásadní bezúplatnosti výkonu funkce. Nárok na odměnu může být založen smlouvou o výkonu funkce, vnitřním předpisem či rozhodnutím orgánu společnosti. V určitých případech může mít člen orgánu nárok na odměnu obvyklou. To je srovnáváno s úpravou britskou, kde lze stanovami svěřit rozhodování o odměňování samotné správní radě. Na druhou stranu je pojednáno o úpravě odměňování v kótovaných společnostech, která je ve Velké Británii poměrně podrobná. Čtvrtá kapitola se zabývá instituty neposkytnutí odměny a vydání již...1 Abstract Remuneration of members of governing bodies of joint-stock companies Remuneration of members of governing bodies of joint-stock companies is very topical. The aim of this thesis is to analyse the topic and its fundamental aspects, to compare legislation before and after the re-codification of Czech private law and to compare Czech and British law relating to remuneration. The first chapter defines the basic terms, aims and methodology of this thesis and describes relevant economic concepts (e.g. principal-agent problem, fragmentation of ownership of joint stock companies). The second chapter focuses on the issue of concurrent engagement as a director and as an employee of the company. This issue had been object of legal uncertainty in the past. The third chapter focuses on entitlement to remuneration. After the re-codification, the director is not entitled to remuneration unless otherwise stipulated by the parties. The right to be remunerated can be based on a service contract, internal directive or a resolution of the company. In certain cases, the member can be entitled to remuneration at the prevalent market rate. This is being compared in the thesis to the British regulation where decision-making about remuneration may be entrusted to the board of directors itself.

VLIV AGROEKOLOGICKÝCH PODMÍNEK NA OBSAH HRUBÉHO PROTEINU V HLÍZÁCH PRŮMYSLOVÝCH ODRŮD BRAMBOR

Crude protein content in dry matter of processing potato tubers cultivated in the Czech Republic in 2004-2005 on three sites with different altitudes and two variants of N fertilization ranged from 5.86 to 11.16%. Differences in crude protein content between doses of 100 kg N ha-1 and 200 kg N ha-1 were significant (P<0.05), resulted at average in 7.5 and 8.4% of dry matter of potato tubers, respectively. The variability of crude protein content was above all affected by cultivar (34.3%). The yield of crude protein per area unit ranged from 426 to 1279 kg ha-1 and was affected mainly by the year (24.1%) and by interaction of the year and the site (41.5%). The increasing altitude caused at average increasing of tuber yield and consequently increasing of crude protein yield per area unit. However, crude protein content showed opposite trend and the lowest concentration (7.5%) was achieved on the site with the highest altitude.Studie se zabývá obsahem hrubého proteinu v sušině hlíz průmyslových odrůd brambor, které byly napěstovány v letech 2004 až 2005 v České republice na třech stanovištích s odlišnou nadmořskou výškou v kombinaci s využitím dvou dávek dusíkatého hnojení. Obsah hrubého proteinu v sušině hlíz průmyslových brambor se pohyboval v rozmezí 5.86 až 11.16%. Navýšení dávky dusíku ze 100 kg N ha-1 na 200 kg N ha-1 průkazně (P<0.05) zvýšilo obsah hrubého proteinu v sušině hlíz brambor. V průběhu studie byla zjištěna významná odrůdová variabilita obsahu hrubého proteinu. Výnos hrubého proteinu z jednotky plochy se pohyboval v rozmezí 426 až 1279 kg ha-1 a byl ovlivněn především ročníkem (24.1%) a kombinací ročníku a stanoviště (41.5%). Na stanovištích s vyšší nadmořskou výškou byl zaznamenán nárůst produkce hrubého proteinu na jednotku plochy, ovšem obsah hrubého proteinu v sušině hlíz byl na stanovišti s nejvyšší nadmořskou výškou nejnižší (7.5%

Seasonal habitat use of three predatory fishes in a freshwater ecosystem

To understand the spatiotemporal overlap in the habitat use of sympatric predators, we studied longitudinal activity and reservoir section and depth use of pike (Esox lucius), pikeperch (Sander lucioerca) and catfsh (Silurus glanis) in the Římov Reservoir, using an autonomous telemetry system for 11 months. We found signifcant diferences among these species in studied parameters that varied considerably over tracked period. Pike consistently used the same sections of the reservoir, while pikeperch and catfsh frequently visited a tributary during the warm season (late spring and early autumn), and moved closer to the dam during the cold season (late autumn to early spring). Pike longitudinal activity was highest in the cold season, pikeperch in the warm season, and catfsh activity peaked in both seasons. Overlap in the depth use among species was higher in the warm season, when all species used the upper layer of the water column, and lower in the cold season, when pikeperch and catfsh used deeper areas. These results demonstrated overlay and temporal variation of habitat use among these predators, as well as potential spatiotemporal space for their direct ecological interactions.

A simple fish-based approach to assess the ecological quality of freshwater reservoirs in Central Europe

The assessment of ecological quality in freshwater ecosystems is a key issue in many countries, but conditions for the development of assessment methodologies are often country-specific. This study proposes a simple methodology for the assessment of the ecological potential of reservoirs based on fish communities using a dataset covering major environmental and pressure gradients in reservoirs in the Czech Republic. Fish data obtained by gillnet sampling were correlated with a proxy of eutrophication as a key indicator of anthropogenic pressure for selecting appropriate fish-based indicators, establishing scoring criteria and developing the index of ecological quality. Expert judgement was also used to select potential fish indicators. Nine indicators were selected for the final fish-based index, fulfilling the criteria required by the Water Framework Directive. Two steps were used to validate the fish-based index quantification of its inter annual stability and sensitivity analysis of individual indicators. Finally, the index was compared to a previously developed general index for Central and Western Europe. Our study demonstrates that a combination of expert judgement and strict validation methods can result in an informative assessment of the ecological conditions, which can help identify conservation and restoration priorities. © P.

Long-term monitoring of fish in a freshwater reservoir: Different ways of weighting complex spatial samples

Anthropogenic activities continue to pose the greatest challenges to freshwater ecosystems. Therefore, long-term monitoring is essential for the management and conservation of these resources. Monitoring programs for freshwater bodies often use a range of indicators, including biological elements such as fish. Existing European standard provides a depth-stratified gillnet sampling approach mainly in benthic habitats and at the deepest part of lakes to account for the uneven distribution of fish. However, the commonly used CEN (European Committee for Standardization) protocol does not weight sufficiently habitat volumes and underrepresent pelagic habitats to calculate whole-lake catch and biomass per unit effort (CPUE and BPUE, respectively). Extended European standard gillnet (4 larger mesh-sizes added in the geometric series) catch data collected over 18 years (2004–2021) in Římov Reservoir (Czech Republic) were used for a method comparison on indices for relative abundance and biomass of fish: CEN protocol without volume-weighting and two volume-weighted approaches. We also evaluated changes in species composition and trends in these fish population over time. Results indicated interannual changes in species composition, relative abundance, and biomass of fish community. The CEN protocol tended to put greater emphasis on benthic habitats which generally have larger CPUE and BPUE. Consequently, the two volume-weighting approaches produced lower estimates of the two parameters, with the exception of the most dominant pelagic bleak Alburnus alburnus (L.). All approaches consistently showed an increasing trend in whole-reservoir fish abundance and a decreasing trend in biomass over the study period. Following our assessment, we put forward the volume-weighting approach that considers the Volume of the depth Stratum (VOST) for weighting as the most realistic approximation of fish populations and therefore recommend its use

EUNIS Habitat Classification: Expert system, characteristic species combinations and distribution maps of European habitats

Aim: The EUNIS Habitat Classification is a widely used reference framework for European habitat types (habitats), but it lacks formal definitions of individual habitats that would enable their unequivocal identification. Our goal was to develop a tool for assigning vegetation‐plot records to the habitats of the EUNIS system, use it to classify a European vegetation‐plot database, and compile statistically‐derived characteristic species combinations and distribution maps for these habitats. Location: Europe. Methods: We developed the classification expert system EUNIS‐ESy, which contains definitions of individual EUNIS habitats based on their species composition and geographic location. Each habitat was formally defined as a formula in a computer language combining algebraic and set‐theoretic concepts with formal logical operators. We applied this expert system to classify 1,261,373 vegetation plots from the European Vegetation Archive (EVA) and other databases. Then we determined diagnostic, constant and dominant species for each habitat by calculating species‐to‐habitat fidelity and constancy (occurrence frequency) in the classified data set. Finally, we mapped the plot locations for each habitat. Results: Formal definitions were developed for 199 habitats at Level 3 of the EUNIS hierarchy, including 25 coastal, 18 wetland, 55 grassland, 43 shrubland, 46 forest and 12 man‐made habitats. The expert system classified 1,125,121 vegetation plots to these habitat groups and 73,188 to other habitats, while 63,064 plots remained unclassified or were classified to more than one habitat. Data on each habitat were summarized in factsheets containing habitat description, distribution map, corresponding syntaxa and characteristic species combination. Conclusions: EUNIS habitats were characterized for the first time in terms of their species composition and distribution, based on a classification of a European database of vegetation plots using the newly developed electronic expert system EUNIS‐ESy. The data provided and the expert system have considerable potential for future use in European nature conservation planning, monitoring and assessment
