The choice of the best somatotype for a given sport using factor analysis
Bušík, Peter ; Fusek, Michal (referee) ; Michálek, Jaroslav (advisor)
This bachelor’s thesis deals with factor model, which is used for data reduction. The purpose is to find unobservable common factors, by which we are able to simply describe observed data. The thesis presents an estimation for parameters of factor analysis by the principal component method, a factor rotation by the varimax method and a way of estimating factor scores by the regression method. Using the computing programme STATISTICA, we apply the factor analysis on the data set, obtained in Korfball. Based on the results, we try to determine the best somatotype for players of this sport.

Extreme Value Distributions with Applications
Fusek, Michal ; Skalská,, Hana (referee) ; Karpíšek, Zdeněk (referee) ; Michálek, Jaroslav (advisor)
The thesis is focused on extreme value distributions and their applications. Firstly, basics of the extreme value theory for one-dimensional observations are summarized. Using the limit theorem for distribution of maximum, three extreme value distributions (Gumbel, Fréchet, Weibull) are introduced and their domains of attraction are described. Two models for parametric functions estimation based on the generalized extreme value distribution (block maxima model) and the generalized Pareto distribution (threshold model) are introduced. Parameters estimates of these distributions are derived using the method of maximum likelihood and the probability weighted moment method. Described methods are used for analysis of the rainfall data in the Brno Region. Further attention is paid to Gumbel class of distributions, which is frequently used in practice. Methods for statistical inference of multiply left-censored samples from exponential and Weibull distribution considering the type I censoring are developed and subsequently used in the analysis of synthetic musk compounds concentrations. The last part of the thesis deals with the extreme value theory for two-dimensional observations. Demonstrational software for the extreme value distributions was developed as a part of this thesis.

New antimcrobial peptides isolated from the bee venom and the study of their action mechanism
Čujová, Sabína ; Čeřovský, Václav (advisor) ; Fusek, Martin (referee) ; Hlaváček, Jan (referee)
EN The growing emergence of bacteria resistant to conventional antibiotics is very alarming. This has prompted an intensive search for alternative antimicrobial agents which kill bacteria with different modes of action than do traditional antibiotics and do not develop drug resistance. Among these, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are considered as promising compounds against resistant pathogens. These positively charged peptides permeabilize or disrupt bacterial cell envelope which leads to leakage of cytoplasmic components and cell death. The aim of my dissertation thesis was the study of the action mechanism of novel antimicrobial peptides which I have isolated from the venom of different wild bees. I identified six novel AMPs which were named panurgines (PNG), codesane (COD) and antapines (ANTPs). These peptides were isolated from the venom of three different bee species (Panurgus calcaratus, Collete daviesanus and Anthophora plumipes). I was also involved in the structural studies of lasiocepsin (Las), the antimicrobial peptide identified in the venom earlier in our laboratory. All studied peptides possess activity against various strains of bacteria and low or moderate hemolytic activity. We prepared series of PNG, COD and ANTP analogs in order to study the effect of physicochemical properties...

Glutamatergic synaptic transmission, targeting and distribution of metabotropic glutamate receptor in neuronal cells
Techlovská, Šárka ; Blahoš, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Vyklický, Ladislav (referee) ; Fusek, Martin (referee)
Stránka 7│146 ABSTRACT An evolutionary developed eukaryotic proteins for transformation of extracellular signal into intracellular targets are receptors. There are known receptors integrated to intracellular organelle membranes e.g. inositol-3-phosphate receptor (Inositol-3-phoshpate receptor; IP3R) specific for endoplasmic reticulum or nuclear receptors e.g. receptors for gonad hormones transforming the intracellular signals, however the vast majority of receptors are present on plasmatic membrane and recognize an extracellular signals. High percentage of these receptors are included in family of proteins called G-protein coupled receptors, (G-protein coupled receptors, GPCRs) due to their signal mediators heterotrimeric G-proteins. Each receptor of this family has the preference to specific type of G-protein influencing the intracellular concentrations of Ca2+ , cyclic adenosinmonophosphate or inositol-3- phosphate. Some of them are able to signalise by dual manner or through G-protein independent pathways. Independently on cellular target membrane, GPCRs integration into membranes is enables by the content of GPRCs-specific 7-transmembrane domain (7-transmembrane domain, 7TM) which is consist of hydrophobic amino acids. The relation between the structure and functionality is very tightly related. Many...

Peptide inhibitors immobilized on magnetic particles and Sepharose used for separation of stomach aspartate proteinases
Rajčanová, Michaela ; Kučerová, Zdenka (advisor) ; Fusek, Martin (referee) ; Pacáková, Věra (referee)
IN ENGLISH Human gastric juice contains mainly aspartate proteinases: pepsin A and pepsin C. Both pepsins are produced by gastric mucosa as inactive pepsinogens and they are activated to the corresponding pepsins in the acidic environment of the gastric lumen. The levels of pepsinogens in serum reflect the morphological and functional status of gastric mucosa. A subject of this thesis is a part of a long-term investigation that focuses on the elaboration of methods for separation gastric aspartate proteainases that would be suitable for diagnostic purposes. The preparation of new type ligands was a concrete subject of PhD. thesis that after their immobilization they can enable the separation of aspartate proteinases. Four heptapeptides containing D-leucinyl residue were synthetized (Val-D-Leu-Pro-Phe-Phe-Val- D-Leu, Val-D-Leu-Pro-Tyr-Phe-Val-D-Leu, Val-D-Leu-Pro-Tyr-Tyr-Val-D-Leu and Val-D- Leu-Pro-Phe-Tyr-Val-D-Leu. The prepared heptapeptides immobilized on agarose magnetic particles were used for the study of their interaction with porcine pepsin A and rat pepsin C. While porcine pepsin A was adsorbed to all heptapeptides immobilized to magnetic particles, rat pepsin C was not retarded. Similar results were obtained using heptapeptides immobilized to Sepharose. The situation was more complicated...

Seasonal, weekly and diurnal variability of elemental and organic carbon at a rural background site in Central Europe, a four years of measurement
Mbengue, Saliou ; Fusek, M. ; Schwarz, Jaroslav ; Vodička, Petr ; Holubová, Adéla ; Holoubek, Ivan
Atmospheric organic (OC) and elemental (EC) carbon play an important role in\natmospheric chemistry, climate change and public health. There have been relatively\nfew studies dealing with EC and OC in rural background sites which are less influenced\nby urban and industrial emissions. Nevertheless, measurements at background areas are\nimportant for understanding the transport and transformation characteristics of\nanthropogenic air pollutants, and their effects on various aspects of regional and global\nenvironment changes. This work is one of the rare studies using a semi-continuous\nmeasurement technique to focus on long-term (4 years) measurements of EC and OC at\nregional background site in Europe. It focuses on the factors or phenomena influencing\nboth diurnal and weekly variability of EC and OC concentrations during various seasons\nat rural background area.
