Knowledge of substitutes of salt in food
Vaňková, Marie ; Váchová, Alena (advisor) ; Hanušová, Jaroslava (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with the issue of salt and possibility of its replacement in food. The chosen is topical because healthy nutrition is one of current modern trends. Table salt is an entire part of a diet of every person. As the compound of two biogenic elements - sodium and chlorine - it has unsubstitutable function in human body. However, an increased intake of sodium can be associated with health risks, especially hypertension. The World Health Organization recommends a maximum daily intake of salt 5 g. According to current statistics, nevertheless the salt intake in the Czech republic is up to three times higher. Therefore, it is appropriate to reduce the consumption of salt and attempt to its replacement without cutting down the taste of food. One of the goals of this thesis was find out possibilities of replacing the salt and what is their availability. The practical part deals with the results of survey, within these was examined the awareness of salt and the posibility of its replacement among different group of our population (students, pedagogical workers, heads of school canteens). In terms of established facts there was suggested a project called The salt is beneficial and dangerous which aids to raise awareness of students about this topic. These outputs can be put into the...

Localisation of Version D of "The Poema Morale" based on "The Linguistic Atlas of Early Middle English"
Vaňková, Marie ; Čermák, Jan (advisor) ; Tichý, Ondřej (referee)
The present MA thesis presents an analysis of version D of the Early Middle English verse sermon known as the Poema Morale. The objectives of the study were to verify the present localisation of D in Western Kent and clarify its relations to two more copies of the same text (T and M). The research consistsed in analysing the language of the text it terms of its dialect and distinguishing between different layers of copying, where possible. The analysis was performed using the electronic tool Linguistic Atlas of Early Middle English, specific procedures included mainly analyses of maps showing the distribution of dialectal features found in D, which were complemented by discussions of forms which D shares with other Kentish texts or versions T and M. The aim of these discussions was the identification of words coming from the exemplar. Evidence supporting the localisation of D in Kent as well as forms presumably taken from the archetype were presented and put in the context of the results of previous studies.

The using of gardens of Prague Castle in teaching of biology at elementary school
Vaňková, Marie ; Skýbová, Jana (advisor) ; Říhová, Dagmar (referee)
This diplomat thesis is focusing on use of Garden of Prague castle and the possibilities of their use in the teaching of Science at secondary school within the organizational form of the excursion. The teoretical part is devoted to the description and characteristics of the Gardens of Prague castle. The diploma thesis is mainly focused on the Royal Garden. The reason is practical usability this garden and also limited access to other gardens of Prague castle at the time of processing this diploma thesis. The these sis mainly focused on the Royal Garden. The diploma thesis summarizes the basic informational about the excursion as an organizational form of education. The aim of practical part was the first to find out the attitude of secondary schools (focusing on the Central Bohemian and Prague regions) to excursions to Prague castle and this education method. It was found that most teachers of science organize excursions, but the Gardens of Prague castle are seldom their aim. On the basic of elaboration of previous aims, didactic materials were prepared for the realization of the excursion in the area of Prague Castle, the most comprehensive part consist of a set of ten worksheets. These worksheets are mainly focused on the trees of the Royal Garden. Some worksheets are cross-curricular. KEYWORDS...

Analysing Early Middle English online: Construction and Use of a LAEME Based Spelling Database
Vaňková, Marie ; Tichý, Ondřej (advisor) ; Osolsobě, Klára (referee) ; Berg, Kristian (referee)
The present thesis deals with the construction and testing of a web-based tool for analysis of Early Middle English texts, created from the data available in the Linguistic Atlas of Early Middle English (LAEME). The introductory theoretical overview of research into Middle English texts focuses on dialectology and the relation between spoken & written language and it serves as a springboard for the development of the tool. The thesis further presents a detailed explanation of the methodology behind the tool. It describes the structure of the database containing the transformed data from LAEME and then it moves on to the semi-automatic data processing and types of output data. This processing consists mainly in the segmentation of LAEME spelling variants into smaller units and in determining which segments in a group of variants correspond to one another. The thesis also describes the individual functions available within the tool and tests their use on short sample analyses. Although more extensive testing and modifications of the tool are required, it has so far revealed no crucial errors and the tool can be described as useable. The project succeeded in opening new possibilities of faster access to LAEME data. Furthermore, the tool is prepared for future upgrades, including the addition of data...

Proofs of selected geometric constructions
Vaňková, Marie ; Zamboj, Michal (advisor) ; Jančařík, Antonín (referee)
This bachelor thesis is the summary of the chosen constructions used in descriptive and kinematic geometry. These constructions are always described in detail and proven. The first chapter is devoted to the very concept of curve and curvature. The second chapter is focused on conic sections, ie ellipses, hyperbolas and parabolas. These curves are defined, their main characteristics are described, and their equation is derived. Further o , the chapter contains of the various kinds of constructions of these curves. It is par- ticularly about point structures and structures using osculating circles. The third chapter deals with the cyclic curves, ie cycloid, epicycloid, hypocycloid, peri- cycloid and involute of a circle. For these curves, the motion by which they arise is defined, and the given curve's parametric expression is presented. The following is a description of the construction of this motion and proof that the points of this construction correspond to the parametric expression of the cyclic curve. Finally, the fourth chapter focuses on conchoids, which together with cyclic curves rank among the kinematic curves. Even here the motion by which conchoids are created is first introduced, the construction of this motion is described, and it is proved that the constructed points correspond to the...
