Formative Assessment of EFL students' Speaking Skills in an upper-secondary vocational classroom
Mužíková, Jana ; Starý, Karel (advisor) ; Laufková, Veronika (referee) ; Urbánek, Petr (referee)
The thesis Formative Assessment of EFL students' Speaking Skills in an upper-secondary vocational classroom describes attitudes to assessment of three English language teachers at a Czech business academy from the perspective of formative assessment just before the outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic. The case study aims to show what happens behind the classroom door by providing a deep insight into the assessment practices of EFL learning at a Czech secondary vocational school. The theoretical part defines formative assessment as feedback which brings the learner valuable information concerning the knowledge and skills in the process of learning when it is still possible to work on improving the output; it explores different formative strategies in the context of communicative approach to EFL learning, namely Speaking Skills development. The empirical part builds on the qualitative data collection which consisted of several phases and methods: firstly, school documents were analysed to understand the assessment processes in general, followed by the semi-structured individual interviews with a headmistress and three EFL teachers. Student focus groups and three individual interviews with students were carried out to clarify students' approach to their assessment. Most importantly, classroom practices of...

Determination of selected terpenoids by HPLC with electrochemical detection
Mužíková, Jana ; Dejmková, Hana (advisor) ; Schwarzová, Karolina (referee)
This thesis deals with the determination of carvacrol, thymol, and eugenol by HPLC with electrochemical detection. Carbon paste electrode and boron doped diamond film electrode were used as the working electrodes. For the comparison, UV spectrophotometric detection at 275 nm was used besides the electrochemical detection. The separation was performed on LiChroCART 125-4, RP-18e (5 µm) column. Optimum separation conditions were found: mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile and acetate buffer in ratio 50:50, the optimum buffer pH was pH 5. The optimum potential of working electrode during electrochemical detection was +0,8 V and +1,2 V for carbon paste electrode and boron doped diamond film electrode, respectively. For both electrodes, repeatability of the measurement was examined; the surface of both electrodes had to be renewed between the measurements. Under the obtained optimum conditions, calibration dependences were measured. The studied substances were determined in real samples, in Thymus vulgaris L. and Achillea millefolium L. and in thyme-containing tea and syrup.

Determination of carvacrol using HPLC with electrochemical detection
Mužíková, Jana ; Dejmková, Hana (advisor) ; Schwarzová, Karolina (referee)
This thesis deals with determination of a mixture of carvacrol with thymol and eugenol by HPLC with electrochemical detection. Carbon paste electrode was used as the working electrode. The separation was performed on Kromasil-C18, 250x4,6 mm column. For the comparison, UV spectrophotometric detection at 275 nm was used besides electrochemical detection. Optimal separation conditions were found: mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile and phosphate buffer in ratio 60:40, the optimal buffer pH was pH 4. As the optimum potential of working electrode during electrochemical detection, potential +1.1 V was found. Under the obtained optimal conditions, calibration dependences were measured. Limit of quantification for carvacrol was found to be 9,6·10-7 mol dm-3 using UV spectrophotometric detection and 4,0·10-8 mol dm-3 using electrochemical detection.
