Reading comprehension in children at risk of learning difficulties
Bláhová, Veronika ; Kucharská, Anna (advisor) ; Špačková, Klára (referee)
The aim of this thesis was to evaluate the level of reading comprehension in children at risk of developing grammar difficulties. The main goal consisted of assessing the performance and children's success in two experimental groups (with impaired speech development and the familial risk of dyslexia) and one control group (individuals with typical speech development) at the Test of Reading Comprehension based on the YARC diagnostic scale (Hulme et al., 2009). Additionally, we also observed the performance of children throughout a longer period of time. Consequently, it enabled us to compare the performance of children in the original test with the results of the Test of Reading and Comprehension by M. Caravolas and J. Volín (2005), which was administered two years later. Further analysis reveal that the individuals with the impaired speech development performed significantly worse than the children with familial risk of dyslexia whose performance was very much on the same level as the ones with typical speech development. Additionally, we found out that the performance of children in terms of comprehension does not change significantly during their development. The results of this study may be beneficial both for specialists and parents who may obtain a better understanding of their children's...

Neural Basis of magnetic compass orientation in C57BL/6J mice
Bláhová, Veronika ; Němec, Pavel (advisor) ; Druga, Rastislav (referee)
The ability to perceive the Earth's magnetic field has been demonstrated in a variety of animals, including representatives of all five classes of vertebrates. The physiological mechanisms underlying magnetic field sensation, however, remain largely unknown. Behavioral, physiological, neuroethological studies and studies using early response genes as neuronal activation markers indicated that a major role in the perception and processing of magnetic information play trigeminal, vestibular and visual systems. Subsequently, magnetic information seem to be integrated with multimodal sensory and motor information within the hippocampal-entorhinal system. In the majority of studies, however, birds have been used as model organisms. In this work I analyzed the neural substrate of magnetic compass orientation in the mouse strain C57BL/6J using markers c-Fos and Egr1. I found that all the aforementioned systems contain neurons responsive to the experimental magnetic fields. This finding demonstrates a complex processing of the magnetic information at level of the central nervous system.

Theological-ethical Aspects in Palliative Care (the Charter for the Care)
Bláhová, Veronika ; Milfait, René (advisor) ; Kříž, Bořivoj (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with individual theological and ethical aspects of the current professional dokument in the field of palliative care; the Charter for the care of the critically ill and the dying in Germany. It is based on conviction that it is necessary to provide dignified conditions for the critically ill and the dying. The aim of this bachelor thesis is to introduce the Charter for the care as a successful interdisciplinary result of international cooperation and experience of people working in the field of palliative care. This thesis wants to fulfil one of the important appeal of this charter in regard to interdisciplinary attitude and integration in education. It also wants to contribute to humanly dignified life formation of the critically ill and the dying, palliative care support and education of actors being active in the field of palliative care. The dignity of the human person constitutes the real basis and aim of human rights. The source of human dignity is according to theological ethics rooted in the biblical conception of the human being (Imago Dei). This thesis is based on relevant documents about palliative care and illustrative biblical passages.

Immediate early genes as a tool for study of spatial orientation and memory
Bláhová, Veronika ; Němec, Pavel (advisor) ; Telenský, Petr (referee)
Properties of the environment, spatial orientation cues and time-shifting movements are essential for cognitive maps. The understanding of how both space and the animal's position within that space are represented in the brain has been significantly advanced by the discoveries of four principal neuronal types: the place cells, the head direction cells, the grid cells and border cells. Their activity being driven by both allothetic (visual and non-visual landmarks), and idiothetic cues (internal movement cues based on proprioceptive and vestibular information). Brain regions containing aforementioned types of neurons constitute complex spatial representation system. Immediate early genes (IEGs) and their products became sophisticated tool for the study of neural substrate of spatial orientation including magnetic orientation. For further research it is unavoidable to uncover the dynamic of processes related to IEGs in order to better understanding the functions of brain centres involved in rodent navigation circuit. This work summarises our knowledge about spatial orientation of the vertebrates aimed at rodents, in context with detection of IEGs expression as activity markers in neural substrate. There are described most common experimental mazes and most frequent detection methods used in connection with...

Understanding sentences in Czech children at risk for dyslexia and SLI
Bláhová, Veronika ; Kucharská, Anna (advisor) ; Špačková, Klára (referee)
The aim of this thesis was to evaluate the level of comprehension of czech sentences with a different syntactic complexity in children with specific language impairment (SLI) and children at family risk for dyslexia (experimental groups) compared to typically developing peers (control group). Statistically significant differences were proven both between the SLI group and the family risk group and between the SLI group and control group. The assumed descending tendency of achievement in the test blocks was not substantiated.

The History of the Smíchov Brewery (from its foundation in 1869 to 1894)
Blahová, Veronika ; Zilynskyj, Bohdan (advisor) ; Ferstl, Roman (referee)
V polovině 19. století nastal v Čechách v průmyslové výrobě převratný rozvoj, kdy se kvapem zakládaly velké průmyslové závody a často se koncentrovaly do určité oblasti. Jednou z takových oblastí byl bezesporu i Smíchov. Během pětatřiceti let se z malého předměstí Prahy s 2 608 obyvateli stala prosperující průmyslová lokalita s více než třiceti tisíci obyvateli.1 O její rozvoj se postaraly především Ringhofferovy továrny na stroje, Pražsko - Smíchovská továrna na kartouny a Akcionářský pivovar. Pouze poslední jmenovaný podnik zůstal na stejném miste a s totožnou výrobou až do dnešního dne. Také i mezi ostatními v té době zakládanými velkými pivovary je jedním z mála, které vyrábějí pivo i dnes a v Praze je posledním z velkých pivovarských podniků. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
