Architecture of Power : The Power of Architecture and its effective Use in Law
Veselá, Barbora ; Agha, Petr (advisor) ; Kosek, Jan (referee)
Architecture of Power: The Power of Architecture and its effective Use in Law Abstract This thesis is concerned with the relationship between law and architecture and their mutual effects. It is focused on the subject of the prison system where these two fields intertwine, and concludes that the prison system should react to the changing conception of punishment and adapt the appearance of prison buildings. The thesis is divided into six parts which are further subdivided into chapters and subchapters. The first part introduces generally architecture and its mission. First, it deals with the concept itself then with the circumstances under which architecture arises, and also the functions that architecture has in society. It also deals with the impact of a space on humans, with the interconnection of architecture and power or with the representative role of some buildings. This part is a general introduction and it illustrates the nature of the chosen topic of this thesis. The second part deals with the relationship between law and architecture, i.e. how architecture projects into law. The first chapter focuses on architectural works representing law and its symbolism, the second chapter on the criminological approach CPTED which is directly based on architecture and urbanism. The main part of this thesis...

Skeletal reconstruction using virtual approach and its contribution to paleoanthropology
Veselá, Barbora ; Rmoutilová, Rebeka (advisor) ; Kotěrová, Anežka (referee)
- AJ Virtual anthropology is a multidisciplinary approach to studying fossil and bone material which combines knowledge from many scientific fields, such as biology, mathematics, anatomy and computational techniques. Fossil material is often incomplete, fragmentary and prone to damage, and virtual methods provide many benefits compared to traditional approaches, such as better preservation of fragile original fossil and bone material, and greater objectivity during reconstruction. Virtual methods have enabled significant progress in study of human past and evolution.

Methods of detection of fungal diseases applicable in plant phenotyping and remote sensing
Klem, Karel ; Veselá, Barbora ; Holub, Petr ; Urban, Otmar ; Mezera, J.
This methodology summarises findings from a comparison of three perspective methods of fungal disease detection applicable for remote sensing and plant phenotyping of fungal disease resistance. These methods are spectral reflectance, infrared thermal imaging, and blue-green fluorescence imaging. On the example of winter wheat infection with powdery mildew, stripe rust and brown rust the strengths and weaknesses of individual methods were demonstrated. From these results it is evident that all three methods are potentially applicable for non-destructive fungal disease detection, but their practical use may vary. Testing of spectral reflectance indices for the detection of fungal diseases showed particularly the high detection reliability of the red-edge and green band based spectral vegetation indices. Infrared thermal imaging has shown high detection accuracy for powdery mildew and brown rust, but lower for stripe rust. Blue-green fluorescence and thermal imaging seems to be also a very promising tools for evaluating the intensity and spatial distribution of infection on a leaf level.

Selection of appropriate INDEL polymorphisms on the X chromosome to detect the fetal fraction of free circulating DNA during pregnancy with female fetuses
Veselá, Barbora ; Korabečná, Marie (advisor) ; Šimková, Halina (referee)
The analysis of cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA) in maternal plasma became an important component of non-invasive prenatal diagnostics in recent years. Detection of Y chromosome sequences in free circulating DNA (cfDNA) indicates the presence of a male fetus; the absence of the Y-chromosomal signal confirms the female gender. The aim of this work is to confirm the utility of insertion-deletion polymorphisms (INDEL) for determination of the female sex of the fetus using the analysis of cffDNA by Digital Droplet PCR (ddPCR). In the thesis, X chromosomal INDEL polymorphisms with a suitable allelic frequencies were selected from databases to allow the determination of the presence of the paternal X chromosome in cffDNA and to lead to the confirmation of the female sex of the fetus by a positive amplification signal and to rapid determination of the fetal fraction size of the circulating DNA. Molecular genetic examination of these polymorphisms was established using ddPCR method. A population study was carried out to verify the utility of the proposed polymorphisms with regard to non-invasive prenatal diagnosis. We examined X chromosomal INDEL polymorphisms: rs2307932, rs16397, rs16637, rs3048996, rs16680 using the ddPCR methodology. In order to obtain population data, we performed tests from the buccal...

Top Stocks: A Broad Analysis of Its Performance and Search for Hidden Relationships
Veselá, Barbora ; Polák, Petr (advisor) ; Kurka, Josef (referee)
01 Abstract This thesis focuses on the exploration of the basic characteristics of the Czech equity fund 'TOP STOCKS - open mutual fund' and a detailed analysis of the portfolio performance with respect to industry classification. Uniquely collected data from the fund's establishment allow us to make analysis to the fullest extent possible. Additionally, our dataset may be the basis for further studies of this fund as it is the first of its kind and scope. The research question investigates the connection between the portfolio performance and its industrial structure. Various classification schemes are summarised in the first part of the thesis, including the Global Industry Classification Standard used in our study. Subsequently, appropriate tools for a regression and forecast analysis are presented, mainly the Box-Jenkins method used to fit the ARIMA model to historical data and forecast values of weekly NAV. The results show that a stock-picking strategy operates effectively and immediately reacts to the market development of industry groups, resulting in a protection of investors. Also, the exchange rate commitment of the Czech National Bank supported excessive cash inflow to the fund resulting in considerable performance stimulation during last years. Future research may build on these findings.

Implementation of health education for alternatively educated children
VESELÁ, Barbora
The purpose of this bachelor thesis is to find out, how are alternatively educated children between 6-12 years of age being taught health and care in their home schooling or in a community. Furthermore, it addresses the broadness of their education, what the topics are within the scope of the health and care education and how much time they are given. It focuses mainly on finding out what the interest is in regard of these topics such as family relationships, personal safety, healthy eating, sport and healthy movement, prevention of using addictive substances and social behaviour. At the same time, it considers the difference between preferences of boys and girls regarding each topic. The thesis is divided into a theoretical and an empirical part. In the theoretical part, it addresses the delimitation of terms such as alternative education and health and care education of a child between 6-12 years of age. The empirical part focuses on evaluating the information acquired through a questionnaire. It brings practical knowledge in relation to each topic of health and care education. Questionnaire survey collected data from 100 individual educators and from 100 educated children, including 50 girls and 50 boys. The outcome of the survey is formulated into easy-to-follow graphs and charts with a comment. The overview of the outcome is included in a following discussion and in the conclusion.

Cardioprotective role of epoxyeicosatrienoic acids in ischemia-reperfusion injury.
Veselá, Barbora ; Neckář, Jan (advisor) ; Kolář, David (referee)
Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) are arachidonic acids metabolites that importantly contribute to vascular and cardiac physiology and pathophysiology. Current research in the field of EETs shows that these molecules can significantly reduce the rate of acute ischemia- reperfusion injury of the heart. However, they can also contribute significantly to the recovery of the heart muscle following myocardial infarction and to reduce the development of post- ischemic heart failure. The project aims to outline the known cardioprotective effect(-s) of EETs on myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury and their mechanisms. Key words: heart, ischemia-reperfusion, epoxyeicosatrienoic acids
