General methodology for creation of geoinformatic system of faculty: Interactive plan of buildings of Faculty of Science at Charles University in Prague Abstract The main aim of this thesis is to establish the general methodology for creation of geoinformatic system of the faculty, using the example of an interactive plan of selected buildings of the Faculty of Science, Charles University in Prague. The result of the theoretical part of this project is the proposal of the framework methodology consisting of conception, construction, implementation and operation stages. These stages are then described in further detail and supplemented with important questions that should be solved by a designer in particular phase of the project. The theoretical part is followed by the practical part in which the discovered facts are verified during the creation of geoinformatic system of faculty realized using interactive plans. Gradually, a test version of the application was formed and then tested by questionnaire survey by students and employees of the faculty. Based on user's requirements final version of the interactive plan has been created so that it could be later put into common operation. The secondary aim of this work is the indication of the possibility of using 3D modeling in the creation of interactive plans...
Cultural Aspects of Cartographic Creation: Use of Mental Maps in Cross-cultural Research
Bláha, Jan Daniel ; Soukup, Martin (advisor) ; Soukup, Václav (referee)
Cultural Aspects of Cartographic Creation: Use of Mental Maps in Cross-cultural Research Abstract: Diploma thesis deals with study of interdisciplinary issue of cultural aspects of cartographic creation. The first part of the work consists of theoretical introduction dealing with the map con- tent, map stylistics and map language, in which maps show the greatest cultural differences. The map figures here in a role of the image of reality and visual manifestation of culture. The analogy between a map and a classical language (linguistic anthropology) and the analogy between early maps and primitive cultures' maps are described. Beside the language, as determinants of the human spatial perception and other categories related to the map creation could be mentioned the environment, the experiences and the society, in which man lives. Several examples of so- called cultural map styles, especially from Australia and Oceania, are introduced as well. In the methodical part of the work in connection with cultural-anthropological research a method of cognitive maps, respectively mental maps of map users and map makers is discussed in detail. Just these maps are suitable to explore the cultural particularities of cartographic creation. The application part of the work presents the results of field research of mental...
Preparation and study of human lymphocyte receptor LLT1
Bláha, Jan ; Vaněk, Ondřej (advisor) ; Konvalinka, Jan (referee)
Natural killer (NK) cells are an intensively studied part of immune system, possessing unique ability to recognize and induce death of tumor and virus-infected cells without prior antigen sensitization. Their function is regulated by a fine balance of signals induced by multiple activating and inhibitory cell surface receptors and their interaction with the ligands present on the target cell. Recent research in their C-type lectin-like receptors repertoire has shown that ligands of some of these previously orphan receptors lie within their own family, describing a lectin-lectin interaction. This is the case of human inhibitory receptor NKRP1 (gene KLRB1) and its ligand LLT1 (gene CLEC2D). Previous studies have shown that overproduction of LLT1 in cancer cells or lower production of NKRP1 in NK cells is connected to cancerous manifestations. This master's thesis shows a successful production of the extracellular part of LLT1 utilizing a mammalian expression system based on transient transfection of modified human embryonic kidney (HEK) cell lines. It was found that the five cystein residues contained within the lectin domain of LLT1 tend to cause misfolding and formation of aggregates. Stabilization of the domain was achieved by restoration of the sixth cystein residue at the evolutionary conserved...

Novotná, Kateřina ; Bláha, Jan Daniel (advisor) ; Hudeček, Tomáš (referee)
Use of mental maps of users in assessment of cartographic works Abstract The aim of this thesis is to propose and practical apply the alternative methodics of assessment of cartographic works. The thesis is processed in the terms of project of Grant Agency of the Charles University Mental Maps: subject and means for assessment. The adjoining aim of this study is then to test which of the assessed tourist maps is the most user friendly. As the method for data acquiring the questionnaire investigation methodology has been chosen. The basic for the assessment of cartographic works are in the case of this study of mental maps of lynch type. Theoretical part is devoted to Mental and Cognitive Maps as well as to the ways of cartographic works assessment. Space is also devoted to the methodology of assessment cartographic works itself. There has been defined the subject of assessment together with the statement of hypotheses and the aims of thesis. Practical application of the proposal methodology and assessment the results has been composed from several parts. First the tourist maps have been assessed by the expert himself. Afterwords another assessment has started with the use of mental maps. This assessment has been composed of the phase of preparation where the questionnaire itself was being created. Then it...

Conception of the Atlas of East Slavic Peoples
Kozhukh, Dzmitry ; Bláha, Jan Daniel (advisor) ; Šára, Pavel (referee)
Abstract:: The aim of this paper is to present cartographic works for children and youth. The main object is the introduction to the problems of cartographic production for children and youth and the execution of value analysis in terms of cartography. The analysis focuses on the use of mapping language - character key and means of expresion, in this part is an efort to answer the question whether the cartographic works for children and youth are the real maps or rather an illustration. The assesment of selected product by their users - children continue the analasis. Another aim is to compare traditional methods of creating those works with the possibilities of modern computer cartography, three ways of making are demonstrated - by hand, using a graphic application and using cartographic application. Then the paper tries to assess the use of geographic and cartographic knowledge in products for children and youth, in this question the paper use knowledges gained in consultation with author from practise. Keywords: cartographic works for children and youth, character key, illustration, map assessment, graphic program
Division of Europe with the use of GIS
Burešová, Daniela ; Hudeček, Tomáš (advisor) ; Bláha, Jan Daniel (referee)
Division of Europe using GIS Abstract This work focuses on theoretical and practical division of Europe into parts using GIS. The main scope of this work is using the program ArcMap to define the region of Europe and then to divide it into parts. An important sources are background research of literature which found different types of dividing the continent, and the underlying data ESRI. Geographic distribution of map of Europe was made on the basis of identified types of division. The main criterion by which Europe is divided was the total area of the continent and individual countries. Just based on the area the correlation analysis showed the appropriateness or inappropriateness of labeling different parts of the continent, from the geographical point of view. The result of the work are maps outputs that shows the differences and similarities in each division and used terms. The newly created maps are confronted and compared with original maps. Keywords: Division of Europe, ArcGIS, Geographical median

Vít, Lukáš ; Bláha, Jan Daniel (advisor) ; Bayer, Tomáš (referee)
Representation of time in cartographic works on the example of maps of historical battles Abstract This study contains an in-depth analysis of possible graphical presentation of the fourth cartographic dimension (time) and utilizes the acquired findings in prototypical animated maps of historical battles. The initial chapter reflects cartography in general, later, the area of animated maps is in focus. The first part of the text is dedicated to the connection of cartography and time. Practical means of time representation are described. Further, a recommended general pattern is specified for design and development of time legend, so that time presentation suits the nature of the depicted theme. Consecutively, this general pattern is applied to a set of pieces of cartographical work depicting (historical) battles. The tangible result of this work is an interactive cartographic animation presenting the battle of Gettysburg and preceding events. Keywords: time, cartography, temporal legend, animated map, battle
