AbstractObjectiveThe prevalence of child overweight in the Czech Republic is substantially lower than that in the USA. The objective of the present pilot study was to explore dietary intakes, frequency of dining in fast-food establishments, and the amount and intensity of physical activity between a sample of American and Czech children.DesignA cross-sectional correlational pilot study.SettingFour public schools in the USA and four public schools in the Czech Republic.SubjectsNinety-five Czech and forty-four American 4–6th graders from urban public schools participated in the study. Dietary intake and number of fast-food visits were evaluated using two multiple-pass 24 h recalls. Physical activity was measured using the modified Self-Administered Physical Activity Checklist.ResultsAmerican children (mean age 10·8 (se 0·2) years) consumed more energy and fat, less fruits and vegetables, more soft drinks, and visited fast-food establishments more often than Czech children (mean age 11·0 (se 0·1) years). Although no differences were found in vigorous activity by nationality, Czech children spent significantly more time in moderate physical activities than American children.ConclusionsDespite the influx of some negative Western dietary trends into the country, Czech children had a healthier diet and were more physically active than American children. Further research is warranted to determine whether the same differences in dietary intakes, physical activity and fast-food visits exist between nationally representative samples of American and Czech children.

Abstract The processing of ombrographic data from 29 meteorological stations of the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute (CHMI), according to the terms of the Universal Soil Loss Equation for calculating long term loss of soil through water erosion, erosion hazard rains and their occurrence have been selected, with their relative amount and erosiveness - R-Factors determined for each month and years. By comparing the value of the time division of the R-Factor in the area of the Czech Republic and in selected areas of the USA it has been demonstrated that this division may be applied in the conditions of the Czech Republic. For the Czech Republic it is recommended to use the average value R = 40 based on the original evaluation.

The article concerns the issue of trade law in the context of its evolution and the current realities of its being in force in Republic of Slovakia. In the paper the authors present an historical view of the creation of legal regulations about trade from ancient times to present days. In the first part of the paper the political system and its components are discussed. The reader will be able to acquaint themselves with the functioning of the apparatus of executive power (the government and ministries), legislative power (the parliament consisting of 150 members) and judiciary (independent courts and prosecutors) in the Republic of Slovakia. Moreover, this part of the article provides information about practical aspects of the creation of selected components of the constitutional legal order (e.g. parliamentary elections). In the second part, the paper covers the evolution of trade law over the centuries, approaches to regulations in Mesopotamia, based on, inter alia, the Code of Hammurabi, and also in ancient Egypt and Greece. Tracing the development of trade law over the centuries, the authors also present the evolution of legal regulations in this field in the XIX century, with particular reference to France, Germany and Austria-Hungary (especially the territory which today forms the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic). In the last part of the article, the forming of regulations of trade law in Czechoslovakia from 1918 and during subsequent periods which created the history of that country, to the overthrow communism and the peaceful division of the state in 1993 into two separate, independent state organisms – the Czech Republic and Slovakia - is approached.

The results of a survey large Czech manufacturing companies are presented which shows the current levels of investment in advanced manufacturing technology (AMT), the techniques and criteria used to assess AMT capital projects, and attitudes to the need for further investment. Comparisons are made with the results of earlier identical surveys in the UK and the USA. The comparisons reveal numerous statistically significant differences. The current levels of AMT investment in the Czech Republic are relatively low, the techniques used for evaluation relatively unsophisticated, the investment criteria used are more short term, and there is less concern about the need for AMT.

Investors' decisions are largely influenced by the riskiness of the country. Several different approaches are available to calculate this risk, but even so, the values set by Damodaran are usually used, even for non-US states. The aim of the paper is to propose a methodology for creating a risk premium in the environment of the Czech Republic and then compare it with Damodaran [1]. Methods applicable in the Czech Republic and Damodaran methods are used, then these methods are compared. For Czech as well as foreign investors, the easiest way to obtain a risk premium is to use the company’s investment rating. In the case of determining the risk premium of the Czech Republic, the easiest method is the CRP (country risk premiums) model. If the country’s market does not have a long history or does not have such a developed capital market, it is recommended to apply data from the US capital market. However, there are significant differences in the economy between Europe and the USA, so the data of an European country such as Germany, which has historical risk premium calculations, should be used.

The law of the Republic of Belarus of July 18, 2019 No. 219-Z "On changing laws" introduced significant changes and additions to the Labor Code of the Republic of Belarus. These innovations can be assessed as the third global reform of labor legislation. The importance of this reform is evidenced by the following facts. First, more than 170 articles were corrected. Second, the Code was supplemented with two new chapters. Third, 12 new articles were introduced (except for new chapters), about the same number of articles were excluded. Fourth, 25 articles of the Labor Code of the Republic of Belarus were set out in a new version. The paper analyzes in detail the new legal definitions of labor function, qualification, contract, and local legal acts. The Law of July 18, 2019 No. 219-Z introduced a new Chapter in the Labor Code of the Republic of Belarus on the contract system of employment, which implemented norms from a number of decrees and decrees of the President of the Republic of Belarus. In the course of the last reform, the Labor Code of the Republic of Belarus amended the provisions on the term of the employment contract, employment, transfer, changes in essential working conditions, and dismissal of an employee. The paper reveals a number of conflicts, legal and technical errors and legal uncertainties associated with the adoption of the Law of July 18, 2019 No. 219-Z, which may lead to problems in practice when applying the updated Labor Code of the Republic of Belarus. Special attention is given to the new rules of the Labor Code of the Republic of Belarus on the extension and scope of the collective agreement. The authors make suggestions for improving the labor legislation of Belarus. The comparative legal method is used, in particular, it is compared with the labor legislation of the Russian Federation. It is concluded that the Belarusian legislator has not approached the reform of the Labor Code of the Republic of Belarus in a well-thought-out and scientifically justified way. The shortcomings of the Law of July 18, 2019 No. 219-Z noted in this paper will be overcome and leveled by law enforcement and personnel practice.

In the years 2005–2007 in a collection of Iris × barbata irises in the Botanical Garden and Arboretum of MZLU in Brno a disease spread appearing in symptoms of poor budding and growth of the irises, or rotting and dying off of the rhizomes. As the causal agent we identified the fungus Botrytis convoluta. In the present study we describe the isolated pathogen. The disease appears in a number of species of the genus Iris and has been reported in the USA, Europe, Israel and Japan. Over a period of three years we evaluated the frequency of incidence of the pathogen in 527 iris cultivars and its distribution on five plots. While in the first year the incidence of the pathogen appeared in 4.4–28.7 % plants, in the last year of our investigations the pathogen spread to 17.7–66.6 % plants. In the course of three years seven cultivars out of the 527 planted out died as a result of B. convoluta attack (i.e. 1.33 %). The results were processed statistically. Spacing of the plants and gradient of the plot influenced the spreading of the pathogen. The weather in the winter played an important role, particularly mild and humid winters with temperatures above 0 °C. Even though B. convoluta was and remains to be a factor limiting the overwintering of irises, there are very few data on fungicide control of irises. Even fewer data are available about the control of irises against latently infected rhizomes. At the present time no fungicides protecting irises against this pathogen have been registered in the Czech Republic.
