Peklanský, Matúš ; Svobodová, Šárka (referee) ; Mléčka, Jan (advisor)
Project points out possible methods of urbanistic and architectural work with panel housing estates, on specific example of Petržalka housing estate in Bratislava. Next to the possible alternatives of solution, which is this diploma project bringing on the table, its main importance is to move forward the thinking about panel housing estates, asking questions concerning our surrounding, and to discuss the future of environment we live in.

Let’s go to Bohemka!
Hasníková, Gabriella ; Svobodová, Šárka (referee) ; Kubíková, Zuzana (advisor)
The topic of this bachelor's thesis is focused on the demise of the glass industry in the Czech Republic; specifically in the Vysočina region. What was the impact of the glasswork industry and its subsequent closure on the inhabitants and employees in the suburban part of Jihlava city — Antonínův Důl and what impact it had on the landscape in which the factories was located. The thesis further discusses the phenomenon of so-called non-places, which radically changed the urbanism of a city and its infrastructure, and yet over time lost its original function.

Architecture as an opportunity to work
Svobodová, Šárka ; Brůhová,, Klára (referee) ; Vorlík,, Petr (referee) ; Zálešák, Jan (advisor)
The dissertation focuses on the interconnectedness of architecture and visual arts in the period of 1945-1989. As the nature of the research tended to expand and its outputs were aimed both at theory (in publication outputs) and at curatorship, popularization and activism, the textual part of the dissertation is organized as a collection of published works and those accepted for publication. All five texts, provided with a common introduction and conclusion for the purposes of the dissertation, share the same overall theme and pose an identical research question – what did collaboration between women architects and women visual artists look like in the period in question? The author of the dissertation seeks answers to this question through five specific examples of creative personalities (architects Jan Dvořák and Igor Svoboda), objects (a villa with a studio by artist Imrich Vanek) and urban areas (the sports complex behind Lužánky in Brno and the Brno Reservoir). The collection of the texts then identifies and deals with current topics such as the complicated attitude of the Czech society to works created during the communist era and the related insufficient monument protection leading to an irreversible loss of material evidence of post-war architectural and artistic production in the territory of what is now the Czech Republic. The aim of the work is to point out, through concrete examples, the quality of the period production, with which the lack of protection and poor professional care by the relevant institutions is in marked contrast. Therefore, the practical outcome is a number of activities that go beyond the academic treatment of the topic. The most prominent of these include the exhibition project Rejected Heritage prepared for the Brno City Museum, the author's book of the same name and a series of accompanying public events. Popularization, media coverage and politicization of the topic, supported by expert research, are proving to be the most effective tools for saving the artistic and architectural heritage of the second half of the 20th century. The conclusion of the research is the conviction that the topic goes beyond the art history level and should be viewed from a socio-political perspective.

Student associations in the Netherlands and in the Czech Republic. A cultural comparative analysis
Svobodová, Šárka ; Lorenzová, Jitka (advisor) ; Koťa, Jaroslav (referee)
The main purpose of this study is to map the situation and the social role of student associations in the Netherlands and in the Czech Republic. The main topic is the comparison of student associations in terms of their functioning. This study also attempts to evaluate the extent to which the differing social status of student associations in each country can be attributed to socio-cultural variables. The first part introduces both the countries and their university systems of education in the post-Bologna Process period. Furthemore it outlines the main aims and fields of activities of the student associations. For understanding better the culture and mentality of both nations, the following two chapters are dedicated to the typical characteristics of Czech and Dutch societies. The analysis of these characteristics is grounded on the theory of cultural dimensions developed by the Dutch social psychologist Geert Hofstede. The core of the present work is the description of the structure and the functioning of student associations in the Czech Republic and in the Netherlands. This part focuses on differences in the social roles, cooperation with universities and approach of students to their associations. In its closing part the study deals with international student associations and describes one of the...

Regulation of parameters of biological activity of colorectal cancer
Svobodová, Šárka ; Svačina, Štěpán (advisor) ; Beneš, Zdeněk (referee) ; Vízek, Martin (referee)
Colorectal cancer (CRC) has been considered to be the most frequent cancer disease based on prevalence rate and mortality rate. The earlier diagnostics provides the better therapy outcomes. Many new laboratory tests and techniques for early detection of CRC have been developed recently. Not many of the can be used for daily routine clinical practice so far. The aim of this dissertation thesis was to measure a large spectrum of parameters in patients with early stage of CRC and to evaluate them for routine practice, as they may play a potential regulatory role in cancer development and control process. (...) Our finding of a very low sensitivity of tumor markers CEA and CA 19-9 for CRC in early stages I.-III. is fully corresponding with literature data. When monitoring some parameters during chemotherapy course we have found that only TK seems to be important for adjuvant therapy control, but TK and CEA and CA 19-9 can be used of palliative therapy monitoring. TK increases after every chemotherapy cycle but it decreases before the beginning of the following cycle if the therapy is successful. But it is continuously increasing if the therapy is unsuccessful. CEA and CA 19-9 are permanently within reference intervals in adjuvant therapy. Before palliative therapy beginning all the parameters are elevated and...

Utilisation of New Biomarkers for the Optimalization of Diagnostics and Therapy of Tumors of the Gastrointestinal Tract
Šafanda, Martin ; Kučera, Radek (advisor) ; Fínek, Jindřich (referee) ; Svobodová, Šárka (referee)
Utilisation of New Biomarkers for the Optimalization of Diagnostics and Therapy of Tumors of the Gastrointestinal Tract Introduction: Tumor markers are standard diagnostic tools. They are mainly used to monitor the course of the disease and to check the efficacy of the treatment. It is important to observe dynamics. Changing the level of the biomarker can prevent clinical manifestation and lead to early diagnosis of relapse, which in turn means improving the quality of life, including prolonging survival. Recently, we have encountered a number of diagnostic algorithms that suggest algorithms for estimating the risk of tumor presence or the risk of progression of cancer, using statistical methods. Objectives: The aim of this work is to verify new biomarkers for the diagnosis of gastric cancer and to develop an optimal algorithm for their use. Further, to evaluate the importance of cytokeratin markers - Tissue Polypeptide Antigen (TPA) and Tissue Polypeptide Specific Antigen (TPS) for the diagnosis of metastatic colorectal carcinoma in the liver. To carry out a pilot study of FGF23 levels in people with colorectal carcinoma and other gastrointestinal tumors. Methods and patients: Patient samples were analyzed using immunoradiometric, chemiluminescence and fluorescence assays. For each solved problem,...
