Kinematic analysis of children's gait
Kernerová, Helena ; Vilímek, Miloslav (advisor) ; Horák, Zdeněk (referee)
Title: Children's gait characteristics and kinematic analysis Objectives: The aim of the master thesis is to perform an analysis of the gait of children engaged in intensive sports training (floorball) and children who are not intensively engaged in sports, and to compare selected spatio-temporal, kinetic and kinematic parameters of these two groups. Methods: The work has a theoretical-empirical nature with a smaller number of probands. 3D kinematic analysis of gait was recorded with a Qualisys device and reaction forces from the pad with 7 Kistler force plates. The following parameters are monitored in the thesis: step length, step speed depending on height, range of plantar and dorsiflexion in the ankle joint, rotation of the pelvis and shoulders in the transverse plane, vertical and anterior-posterior component of reaction forces from the ground. Results: The results of the study showed that for some kinematic parameters, intensive sports training of children aged 7-13 years leads to changes in the behavior of individual analyzed parameters. This is mainly due to the fact that the tested group has more symmetrical rotation of the pelvis and shoulders in the transverse plane compared to the control group. However, the results obtained in terms of statistical probability are not sufficiently...

Deličová, Tereza ; Vilímek, Miloslav (advisor) ; Horák, Zdeněk (referee)
Title: Gait analysis of female basketball players Objectives: The main objective of this thesis is to perform gait analysis using Qualisys and Kistler systems in long time female basketball players and population that does not engage in any regular sports activity on competitive level. Selected spatiotemporal, kinematic and kinetic gait parameters are compared between measured groups. Methods: 20 female probands participated in this experimental study. Tested group consists of 10 long time female basketball players between ages of 21 and 29 (mean age of 24,5). Control group consists of 10 female probands between ages of 24 and 25 (mean age of 24,5) that do not engage in any competitive sport on regular basis. Qualisys Motion Capture system was used to gather 3D kinematic gait data. Ground reaction forces were measured by using Kistler force plates. Data was obtained by both systems at the same time. Evaluated gait parameters were walking speed, step length, pelvic and shoulder rotation range of motion in transversal plane, CG of foot range of motion and all ground reaction forces components. Two-sample t-test and Mann-Whitney U test with significance level of 0,05 were used for statistical analysis of obtained data. Results: Results of this study demonstrate that long time engagement in...
Changes of canon law from the Second Vatican Council to the present
Drábiková, Nina ; Tretera, Jiří Rajmund (advisor) ; Horák, Záboj (referee)
Changes in canon law from the Second Vatican Council to the present Abstract This thesis deals with the development of the canon law of the Catholic Church from the beginning of the Second Vatican Council to the present day, that is, from 1962. The aim of the thesis is to give an overview of the most significant amendments in the field of canon law in the period covered. During this period, six popes (including John Paul I, whose pontificate lasted only thirty-three days) succeeded at the head of the Catholic Church. The first chapter of the thesis studies canon law as a legal discipline in the context of secular law. The second chapter deals with the period of the Second Vatican Council, its convocation, and its successive four sessions. During the Council, the death of Pope John XXIII occurred. He was succeeded by Pope Paul VI, who immediately expressed his willingness to proceed with the Council and presided over the Council from the second session onwards. In particular, the individual subchapters analyse the sixteen documents issued by the Council during the sessions, which became the ideological basis for the subsequent changes in canon law. The third chapter examines the legislative changes in canon law between the end of the Second Vatican Council and the publication of the new Code of Canon Law....
An investigation of friction and lubrication of coated hip joint replacement
Balcárek, Ondřej ; Horák, Zdeněk (referee) ; Nečas, David (advisor)
The thesis focused on studying the effects of a new hydrogel coating and material combinations on the coefficient of friction and formation of lubricating film in the conformal contact of hip joint replacement. Experiments were conducted using a ball-on-cup configuration with a hip pendulum simulator. The formation of the lubricating film was observed using fluorescence microscopy. The results showed that the application of the coating did not have a clear impact on the coefficient of friction. However, for pairs with a coated cup, there was a reduction in CoF by approximately 20%. Generally, lower friction was observed when using a ceramic joint head. Surprisingly, even more interesting results were obtained in the lubrication analysis, where the use of metal heads led to a reduction in the thickness of the lubricating layer. Ceramic pairs exhibited very stable behavior. In addition to friction and lubrication, the topography of the implants was further evaluated, and their wettability was analysed. Although the polymer coating was expected to be highly hydrophilic, the surface properties were only slightly influenced, which partly explains why there was no significant improvement in the tribological behavior of the replacement. As the coating applied is already patented and its effectiveness in reducing wear has been clearly demonstrated, it is appropriate to investigate this issue further, with more attention being paid to long-term experiments. Based on the obtained data, it appears that the short-term benefits of the coating are practically negligible. However, it is important to highlight that, except for minor exceptions, the application of the coating did not lead to a deterioration of properties, which is a significant outcome of this work.
Design of a simulator for studying eye friction and lubrication
Snopek, Lukáš ; Horák, Zdeněk (referee) ; Vrbka, Martin (advisor)
This work deals with the design of a tribometer, which simulates the interaction between the human eye and the eyelid, and simultaneously measures the friction between them and the thickness of the tear film. The tribometer will be used for research and development of artificial tears based on hyaluronic acid. The aim of the work was to design experimental conditions, conceptual and design solutions, as well as to ensure the production, assembly, and validation of the device. The experimental conditions were determined based on critical research. Four different conceptual solutions were proposed, of which two were selected for further development in the design solution. Based on the engineering documentation, the production of non-standardized components and assembly were ensured. Validation experiments demonstrated that the simulator enables the measurement of friction and tear film thickness at the contact area under the desired conditions, with both conforming and non-conforming types of contact. The contribution of this work lies in the construction of a new device that allows for measuring the coefficient of friction and film thickness during conforming contact, offering new opportunities in the study of human eye biotribology.
Basic principles of the law of religious institutes of the Latin church
Tretera, Štěpán ; Tretera, Jiří Rajmund (advisor) ; Horák, Záboj (referee)
Basic principles of the law of religious institutes of the Latin church Abstract The diploma thesis deals with the basic principles of valid law of religious institutes according to the 1983 Code of Canon Law. It also describes the legal-historical development of the basic communities of the evangelical orders. Emphasis is placed on the organizational structure, the activity in society and the most important monasteries in which the community operates. In the general part, the ecclesiastical and special sources of the legal regulation of religious life are discussed. The general part also includes an account of the formation of religious men and women, public vows and institutes related to the communities of the Gospel Councils (e.g. personal prelature, hermitage life, the state of consecrated virgins). In a special section, the individual groups of male and female communities of evangelical orders and their legal-historical development in the Czech lands are discussed. Their origins, activities and their important monasteries or places of work in the Czech lands up to the present day are discussed. The individual male communities of evangelical councils are divided in a special section into groups according to established academic practices into monastic orders, mendicant orders, canons and religious...
Influence of viscosupplementation on cartilage lubrication
Ondra, Martin ; Horák, Zdeněk (referee) ; Ranuša, Matúš (advisor)
This work deal with the determination of the effect of viscosupplementation on the lubrication of articular cartilage in the beginning phase of osteoarthritis. This effect was evaluated based on the development of CoF measured by a tribometer in configuration pin-on-plate. The tribological model of incipient osteoarthritis was simulated by using two articular cartilages lubricated with osteoarthritic synovial fluid to which viscosupplementation agents were added. These preparations differed mainly in cross-linking and molecular weight of hyaluronic acid (HA). Measurements have shown that viscosupplementation may be effective in the beginning phase of osteoarthritis. The efficacy of viscosupplementation preparations with cross-linking HA was significantly higher compared to the efficacy of viscosupplementation preparations without cross-linking. These results support the use of viscosupplementation to delay the advanced stage of osteoarthritis.

Chalupa, Jan ; Horák, Záboj (advisor) ; Tretera, Jiří Rajmund (referee)
Legislation of the provision of spiritual care in the armed forces of the Czech Republic The thesis deals with the legislation of the provision of spiritual care in the armed forces of the Czech Republic, a subject of the field of religion law. Spiritual care in the armed forces is a manifestation of religious freedom provided in the Czech Republic by a system of legal sources of various legal powers. The aim of this thesis is to analyse all these sources, describe their relationship and evaluate the way in which they ensure the exercise of religious freedom in the structures of the armed forces of the Czech Republic. The work is divided into ten chapters. The first chapter explains basic terminology. It explains the concept of spiritual care and the concept of the armed forces of the Czech Republic. The second chapter is devoted to the content of spiritual care in the armed forces and the reasons for its existence. Its subject is therefore a description of the activities by which spiritual care is carried out in the environment of the armed forces. The third chapter describes the organization of the Czech Armed Forces, their division and the tasks that are entrusted to individual components. The following chapters are henceforth devoted to legal norms. Legal norms of the same kind are discussed in...
