The differences in place perception: conditionings and links in time and space
Skála, Tomáš ; Chromý, Pavel (advisor) ; Šantrůčková, Markéta (referee)
This thesis deals with the topic of place as one of the most important concepts of human geography. The term place is examined from the perspective of social constructivism. In the first part the thesis focuses on the term place, place perception, space perception and place identity. Those and other important terms are discussed based on scholar literature considering the terms. In the second part of this thesis changes of place identity are analyzed using the example of Zbuzany, a suburban village of Prague with its space dynamically grounds. Old maps and aerial photos are used for observation of the changes within the area. Also, the main phases of space development are defined. The third part of this thesis uncovers the symbolic space using semi-structured interviews conducted with six respondents from three age groups representing different generations. The interviews were analyzed and the differences in sense of place and space among generations were proved.

Using of non-invasive cardiac imaging for precise evaluation of atrium size and prediction of atrial wall fibrosis in patients with atrial fibrillation
Fingrová, Zdeňka ; Havránek, Štěpán (advisor) ; Kittnar, Otomar (referee) ; Skála, Tomáš (referee)
Atrial fibrillation is the most prevalent arrhythmia worldwide and remains one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality. Atrial fibrillation is an arrhythmia that has a various etiology and takes number of clinical forms. Due to the heterogenity of atrial fibrillation, it is necessary to individualize the optimal treatment strategy, ie conservative pharmacological therapy or interventional therapy as catheter ablation. Inncorrect indication of catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation leads to low success rate of the procedure and increases the risk of the procedure. The success rate of catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation depends on many clinical parameters, including the size and volume of the left atrium and the presence of pathological tissue in the atrial myocardium. In everyday practice, echocardiography (2D-echocardiography) is the most dominant method in estimation of the left atrial parameters, for it's simplicity, non- invasiveness, financial costs and the absence of ionizing radiation. Different methods for assesment of left atrial parameters are cardiac CT, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and methods of 3-D echocardiography or 3-D angiography. The results of the present studies show that in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation who are indicated for catheter...
