Railway brownfields - potential of the city. Case study of Bubny railway station.
Kluchová, Adéla ; Slámová, Eliška (advisor) ; Pospíšilová, Lucie (referee)
The railway, that brought the industrial expansion to the medieval walls of Prague in the 19th century, left there a hundred years later immense, undivided lucrative spaces, that are overdimensioned for the requirements of the current railway transportation. The railway brownfields now offer their potential to integrate themselves into the city organism, connect the already existing housing areas and create new, multifunctional city quarters. This thesis introduces the issue of the railway brownfield transformation in both historical context, and the context of nowadays approach to spatial planning. The case study presents the brownfield of the Praha-Bubny railway station and the organisations, that are creating the image of the brownfield's future transformation, as well as their partial goals and ideas about the newly forming space. KEY WORDS: railway brownfields, Bubny railway station, transformation, urbanism, spatial planning

Double life in Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray and the author's life
POSPÍŠILOVÁ, Lucie
The bachelor thesis focuses on the concept of double life, concretely found in Oscar Wilde's life and one of his works - The Picture of Dorian Gray. The aim is to provide an understanding of duality in author's life and in the selected novel and show the connection between them. The first part of the thesis presents Wilde's life with the focus on the duality. His duality can be noticed mainly through leading two relationships at once. There are also shown the difficulties of leading a double life in this section. The second part analyses the types of dualities of the three main characters from the novel, with the main focus on the protagonist Dorian Gray. The different types of dualities are presented through Basil's homosexuality, Lord Henry's public image that differs from his secret desires, and lastly through the fight of the body and soul in the case of Dorian. The duality of Dorian is even supported by the existence of the portrait. Further, the thesis discusses the Dorian's development and how certain people could influence who he has become, including his grandfather Lord Kelso and Lord Henry Wotton.

Significance of the timekeeping system for human health
Pospíšilová, Lucie ; Sumová, Alena (advisor) ; Hejnová, Lucie (referee)
The circadian system evolved as an adaptation to cyclic changes in external conditions on Earth, mainly the alternation of light and dark with a period of solar day. The rhythmic signal is generated at the cellular level and it is controlled by rhythmic expression of clock genes and their protein products. In mammals, the hypothalamic suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) are the principal circadian oscillator coordinating daily cycles of physiology and behavior, while in peripheral tissues local oscillators operate. The peripheral oscillators are entrained to the daytime and also among each other, by neuroendocrine signals from the SCN. Mutual synchrony of all the circadian components is necessary for proper function of the organism. The main entraining cue of the circadian system with environment is light, which affect the SCN via retina. In a subgroup of blind people sensing the light in the retina is disturbed and their circadian system cannot be synchronized by light. The SCN controls rhythmic production of melatonin in the pineal gland. This hormone mediates the information about the daytime to other tissues in the body, which are not photosensitive. The circadian system temporally drives many processes, including the cell division cycle. It seems that disruption of the temporal regulation could contribute to...

Free Fare Transport Policy in Urban Areas
Štraub, Daniel ; Jaroš, Václav (advisor) ; Pospíšilová, Lucie (referee)
The concept of FFTP represents one of the tools utilized by cities in order to solve transportation problems in urban areas or to upgrade the general welfare of citizens living in this environment. The main aim of this bachelor thesis is to, based on a study of literature, introduce the concept of FFTP, its various goals to be fulfilled, the wide scale of its forms and also to evaluate its ability to reach the set goals. The case study of the city Frýdek - Místek analyses impacts of the FFTP concept on the city environment. It appears that the FFTP concept represents a useful tool, which is able to improve the use of public transport, its effectiveness or the mobility of citizens. The concept also enables reduction of use of cars and its negative impacts. It is also important to mention that the concept represents only one single tool out of many, the implementation of which it is possible to follow the effects and therefore it is necessary to support its effectiveness with other sub - elements or tools. Keywords: FFTP, free fare transport policy, free public transport, public transport
Long term development of life expectancy in the world
Jílková, Martina ; Novotný, Josef (advisor) ; Pospíšilová, Lucie (referee)
Life expectancy has been rising since the end of the 18th century. This thesis aims to characterize its long term development with emphasis on the period after 1800, whereas the beginning periods of sustained growth and its dynamics are represented. Gains in survival began successively in individual countries, and it was found that the later the growth began, the more rapid it was. The determinants of mortality decline are set and described, as well. The attention is paid also to the relation between life expectancy and economic level. The analysis proved strong dependence of life expectancy on income in the course of the 20th century. Finally, the exceptions to this trend are discussed.
