Sulfur binders belong to the group of airbrushes. They can therefore only harden and harden in the air. The main raw material, gypsum, can be mined in several places in the world. Even in the Czech Republic there is a deposit of natural gypsum in Kobeřice u Opavy. [5] In spite of this fact, we use mostly industrially produced gypsies, because the natural gypsum deposit has only very limited capacity. The Energogypsum, produced in the Czech Republic by ČEZ Energetické Produkty s.r.o., is the waste product of flue gas desulphurization using the wet limestone scrubbing method. Like the chemosynthesis, it is characterized by its high purity (the content of pure CaSO4 2 H2O is at least 90%). The one in the Czech Republic is manufactured by Precheza, a.s. in Přerov. The use of sulphate binders is varied. A better form in the form of alpha plaster is used to produce self-leveling floors and dentistry. Less-quality beta gypsum has a larger application. From it we can produce both gypsum and monolithic partitions. We can also use it for the production of plasterboard and gypsum fiber boards and, last but not least, as internal plasters for its good fire performance. [1] Plasters are being prepared today in two different ways. Firstly, they are still prepared in the original outpatient way directly on the building from individual raw materials, but they are also industrially produced in the form of dry mortar mixtures, which are mixed on the building only with water. The second way is more progressive with the fact that nowadays it is even more widespread. For many builders, however, it remains financially scarce. That is why we have recently begun to find a compromise solution that will satisfy both the technical and the economic ones. This is the development of the so-called binder premixes, ie the industrially produced mixed binder, which is mixed only with sand and water on the site. The situation on our market shows that the recently developed special premix for lime-cement plaster and mortar mixtures is very positive for the building public and therefore the effort is to generalize this mixed mortar in the production raw material base and, in addition, to develop its analogue based on sulphate binder.

In the European Green Deal and the Climate Act, the European Union has committed itself to achieving climate neutrality by 2050. This goal is to be achieved by joint efforts of all economic sectors, including forestry and its downstream sectors. One way to attain this goal is the effective and sustainable use of forest biomass for energy production. This article aims to quantify the potential of forest biomass resources for the production of electrical and thermal energy based on official departmental statistics, the current legal framework for forestry and the environment, and research results in the context of an extreme change in the raw material base due to the ongoing calamity caused by the spread of insect pests in the Czech Republic. This extreme can classify as a significant risk to the security of the energy supply from renewable sources in the event of oversizing new installed energy production from renewable sources. Based on data and calculations, an overall annual volume of dendromass available for energy production in the Czech Republic for the period extending to 2036 was quantified at the value of 13.473 million tons per year. Consequently, it is clear that the overall dendromass resources for energy production in the Czech Republic are not sufficient to achieve the EU’s ambitious objective.

Forest management in the Czech Republic (CR) was not shaped in the environment of natural forests but in the territory that was influenced by unregulated felling and animal grazing for a long time. Hence the fear for sustainable and balanced benefits from forests endangered by long-term uncontrolled exploitation was legitimate. Almost after three centuries of application of the sustainability principle, forests are considered not only as a source of renewable wood raw material but also as a tool of the environment formation. Mountain forests are an important landscape component of this country. They are an object of specific importance from the aspect of natural environment conservation, stabilization of natural processes and general landscape homeostasis. In addition, they fulfil a number of production and non-production functions. Cardinal elements of sustainable forest management in the CR conditions are as follows: management of the forest as an ecosystem, i.e. transition from exclusive care of forest tree species and their stands to care of the whole forest ecosystems; restructuring (conversion, reconstruction) of damaged and declining forests; optimum (species, genetic, spatial, age) structure of forest ecosystems differentiated according to site conditions and management targets; differentiated transition from general management to group or individual methods; utilization and support of spontaneous processes such as natural regeneration, competition and other principles of self-regulation. The above cardinal elements of sustainable forest management are applicable to forests of the CR in general, but their importance considerably increases in mountain forests where many species survive on the margin of subsistence. Moreover, mountain forests of CR have been heavily destroyed by anthropogenic factors, especially air-pollution ecological stresses, during the last three or four decades.

In 2017, a relatively small copper artefact hoard was found using a metal detector just a few metres from the border between the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic. This was on a distinctive slope on the Moravian side of the White Carpathians, at a relatively high altitude (746 m) in the cadastral area of the municipality of Lopeník. The hoard was lent for documenting by the finder and then returned to them. It contained three flat Jordanów type axes, a Şiria type hammer axe (only the second find in Moravia) and, most probably, raw material in a unique form of two discs of flat copper strip coiled into the shape of a pyramidal spiral. Some of the items were made of pure copper (with the presumed source in the southern part of the Carpathian Basin), some of a material similar to Nógrádmarcal antimony copper, forwhich a Slovak origin is considered. Based on the presence of several Jordanów type axes, we date the hoard to the Early Eneolithic and link it to the bearers of the Jordanów culture. Due to its location, the hoard is further distinctive evidence of transport corridors passing from the Carpathian Basin via the White Carpathians, where most parallels to the artefacts under study have been found. The presence of the two “strip material” discs is completely atypical.

Mammary gland anatomy in small ruminants is very similar to that of cows; however, milk synthesis throughout lactation exhibits many functional particularities in small ruminants compared with that of cows. Goat’s milk is beneficial for human nutrition owing to the fatty acid composition, fat globule size, and conjugated linoleic acid content. As a raw material for dairy products, goat’s milk must be safe for human consumption. The number of mesophilic microorganisms, somatic cells, and selected mastitis pathogens should be limited. A prerequisite for the production of milk of high hygienic quality is the health of the mammary gland. Goat’s milk processing into cheese and other products is in the Czech Republic mostly performed on farms, partly for direct sales to consumers and partly for supplying selected stores. Revenues from dairy commodities represent the most important source of income for dairy goat farms. Mammary gland health has an important effect on the economics of dairy goat farms. Profitability can fall by up to 1/3 owing to indirect effects of udder health problems.

Personal ornaments are a notable feature of the Early Upper Palaeolithic in Europe and an important expression of modern human identity. The tubular bone rod from Pod Hradem Cave in the Czech Republic is the first example of its kind from Central Europe. Laboratory examination reveals the techniques used in its manufacture and underlines the skill of its maker. AMS dates and Bayesian modelling suggest a cultural association with the Early Aurignacian period. It illustrates the cultural links across large areas of Europe at this time, although it is unique in its specific combination of size, raw material and decorative features.

This article summarizes the information on raw materials in the Czech Republic. Although mining was significantly reduced not long ago, there are still rich deposits of ores, non-metallic raw materials, as well as energetic and construction ones. Many of them are potentially utilizable in future, especially those which are economically favorable, and their mining is not in any conflict with environmental interests. Deposits are distributed irregularly, and their raw materials are different in both the Bohemian Massif and Western Carpathians. In order to be complete, the text also comprises deposits, which are restricted by environmental limits or their mining promises a low-cost effectiveness. The article is amended with actual statistical data.

Some building defects lead to their demolition. What about construction and demolition waste? According to the Waste Act 185/2001 Coll. and its amendment 223/2015 Coll., which comes into force on January 1, 2017, the production of waste has to be reduced because, as already stated in the amendment to Act No. 229/2014 Coll., the ban on landfilling of waste will apply from 2024 onwards. The main goals of waste management can thus be considered: Preventing or minimizing waste; Waste handling to be used as a secondary raw material - recycling, composting, combustion and the remaining waste to be dumped. Company AZS 98 s. r. o. was established, among other activities, also for the purpose of recycling construction and demolition waste. It operates 12 recycling centers throughout the Czech Republic and therefore we have selected it for a demonstration of the handling of construction and demolition waste in addressing the defects of the buildings.

The basic principle from which the Czech National Forestry Programme proceeds is the management of forests in a permanently sustainable manner whilst limiting the administrative interference of the state to the unavoidable minimum under the circumstances of the motivating operation of state forestry policy for the support of public interests and whilst increasing the responsibility of forest owners for their property. The National Forestry Programme is supposed to be an interdepartmental and intersectoral programme respecting not only the needs for the branch development of forest management, but also emphasising the place of forests in the environment and landscape creation, non-production functions of forests, the importance of the forest as a renewable source of ecologically advantageous raw material and the significance of the use and processing of wood for the economy of the country and thus for the society as such. The first idea of National Forestry Programme has been presented in 1993. The current version of the Programme has been conceived for the period 2003–2006. In addition to the basic information about the current state of forests and forestry management in the Czech Republic, it contains chapters with themes focussing on forestry problem issues.

In the last decade the prices of wood in Slovakia were affected by the global economic crisis, rising intensity and extent of incidental felling and specific market conditions in SR. This paper analyses the shares of selected raw wood assortments supplies for the pulp and paper industry in Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Austria and Germany for the period 2008-2013. We also analyse the price trends of raw-wood assortments of the III.C class spruce, fir and beech saw-logs, pulpwood and firewood in selected countries of Austria, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The analysed period represented the last 7 years (from 2008 - April 2015). The last part is devoted to evaluation of the potential of these assortments as a source of raw material for pulp and paper industry.
