Fluorescently labeled ligands for the Mu-opioid receptors
Hadzima, Martin ; Machara, Aleš (advisor) ; Kohout, Michal (referee)
This Bachelor's thesis deals with preparation of fluorescently labeled opiates, which allow detection of µ-opioid receptors and study of their interaction with ligands, using fluorescent techniques. As substrates designated for chemical modifications were chosen semi-synthetic opiates, naloxone and naltrexone. Their conversion to corresponding C-6 hydrazones allowed further modifications of these substances and tracking, if any changes to their ability to interact with µ-opioid receptors ocurr. Firstly, known adducts of these hydrazones with fluorescein isothiocyanate were prepared. Then, we inserted linkers of different lengths between the opiate fragment and the fluorescent tag, systematically. Mentioned linkers were prepared from tetraethyleneglycole derivatives with aim to study binding constants of modified µ-opioid receptor ligands. In the end, we decided to prepare opiate conjugate with particular linkers of length corresponding, approximately, to decaethyleneglycole. Two different procedures were proposed for the preparation of this linker. One of them used click chemistry concept and the other was based on classic amide coupling. Both conjugates were converted to adducts with fluorescein to verify their specific binding to µ-opioid receptors. They were also provided to co-operating group,...

Lower Turonian ammonites of the Bohemian Cretaceous Basin: taxonomic synopsis, stratigraphy and palaeoecology
Kohout, Ondřej ; Košťák, Martin (advisor) ; Ziegler, Václav (referee)
This thesis summarizes the findings of lower Turonian ammonites of the Bohemian Cretaceous Basin (BCB). It presents an overview of the most important taxonomic species and their brief morphology and paleoecology. Marginally, it describes sedimentary facies of the BCB which belongs to the lower Turonian ("Bílá Hora" Formation). Part is devoted to determining the stratotype between Cenomanian and Turonian, to the events that occurred during this period (CTBE, OAE II) and their impact on biocoenosis of early Turonian ammonites. This thesis tries to comprehend the importance of ammonites biostratigraphy to define the Lower Turonian and basic ammonites zones, which belongs to this period. Defining stratotype Cenomanian / Turonian has not yet been satisfactorily resolved and this work is the basis for further research and study. Key words: ammonite, Bohemian Cretaceous Basin, biostratigraphy, Turonian, paleoecology

Czechoslovak Press Laws in the Legislative Process and the Rulings of the Supreme Court from 1918 until 1938
Kohout, Martin ; Soukup, Ladislav (advisor) ; Rákosník, Jakub (referee) ; Vojáček, Ladislav (referee)
This dissertation deals with the topic of development of Czechoslovak press law during the First Republic, primarily through the legislative process of press law or of legislation related to press law, adopted by the National Assembly of the First Republic, and also by the impact that adopted legislation, and in particular the Act on Protection of the Republic in 1923 and amendments of press law in 1924, had on the rulings of the Supreme Court during the First Republic. It takes a comprehensive look at the development of press law during the First Republic based on the one hand on legislation carried over from Austro-Hungarian and later amended, and on the other hand on new legislation adopted during the First Republic. The study also analyses the common features of the legislative process of individual press regulations and at least in part the role of the Supreme Court in the interpreting of valid law.

Prerequisites for building magnetometer out of carbon nanotubes for geological applications
Mazanec, Martin ; Kletetschka, Günther (advisor) ; Kohout, Tomáš (referee)
This thesis is the first step in a long-therm project with object to built magnetometer from carbon nanotubes. At the beginning of the thesis is introduction to magnetism and its basic physical characteristics, brief description of the Earth's magnetic field, some magnetic minerals and material behavior in a magnetic filed. All this in a geological context. In the second part I focus on the measurment of the magnetic field, especially on some specific device. The third part deals with the allotrope of carbon - graphene structures. It offers a brief overview of thein properties, one chapter about the productiona and possible use. In discussion I try to combine these parts with a specific purpose, which is the uso of carbon nanotubes in measuring the rock magnetism. We present a simplified funcion principle of the discussed device, the first steps of construction and inicial measurment.

Why Did Voucher Privatization Occur?
Kohout, Martin ; Šubrt, Jiří (advisor) ; Vlček, Josef (referee)
In this paper I try to analyze all circumstances and threads that led to voucher privatization. I try to analyze factual historical events like for example certain motions in the Civic Forum (Czech: Občanské fórum) within the frame of corporate processes. I observe the shift of power between the majority of citizens and elite and question the legitimity of decisions the leaders of the revolutionary movements make. The power shifting from an individual onto the society served me as an indicator for searching the relations that could had led to the voucher privatization. I try to understand the circle of disidents around Václav Havel and the circle of reformists around Václav Klaus from the sociological perspective and try to apprehend these from tin the light of their organization and opinion coherence. Ideological data of these two groups are compared with the meaning of the public; moreover, I do not restrict myself just to the time after the revolution. I pay attention also to the pre - revolutionary roots of certain social circumstances that influenced the public. I try to find the continuity between the time before the revolution, during the revolution and after the revolution. Naturally it made sense to allude often examples from the history of revolutionary movements. I analyzed the rhetoric...

Occurrence and significance of fungi associating with mycotrophic plants
Kohout, Petr ; Vohník, Martin (advisor) ; Gryndler, Milan (referee)
Mycorrhizal symbiosis represents one of the most important symbioses in the plant kingdom. It is a mutualistic interaction between plant roots and filamentous fungi, where fungal partner provides mineral nutrients, water and often improved protection against pathogens and plants supply fungi with photosynthetic assimilates. Besides mycorrhizal fungi, plants interact with a miscellaneous group of non-mycorrhizal root associated fungi, so called fungal endophytes. Notwithstanding ubiquity and possible importance of root associated fungi, their interactions with host plants have not been hitherto satisfactorily studied. The present Master thesis contains three papers and is aimed on two interesting topics contributing to unveiling different roles of mycorrhizal symbioses in ecological significance of plants and their survival and fitness in specific environments: (i) to address the potential role of ectomycorrhizal fungi and Ericaceae plants in facilitating the invasion of Pinus strobus and (ii) to identify mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal fungi associated with endangered orchid and aquatic plants. We assessed diversity and communities' composition of mycorrhizal and non- mycorrhizal fungi using classical culture-dependent approaches as well as modern culture- independent techniques. Results from the first...

Tetrahedrization as an alternative to volume data
Varga, Martin ; Kohout, Josef (referee) ; Kolingerová, Ivana (advisor)
Main goal of the thesis was to research or propose a suitable method for substitution of volume data including volume data derived from motion pictures by irregular tetrahedron-based grids. The method should minimize the loss of information and the size of the data. The thesis proposes a method for finding a suitable tetrahedron grid that substitutes the volume data without assuming anything about its inner structure. The proposed method can be applied on both volume data and volume data from motion pictures. The method consists of two steps. First a basic grid is generated by a simple incremental algorithm and then it is improved by a process of simulated annealing. The thesis proposes an unbiased measure for measuring the loss of information and evaluates the suitability of the proposed method for both types of data based on experiments. The thesis includes an implementation of the proposed method which demonstrates its use. The thesis also includes sample volume data and motion picture volume data which were used to test the suitability of the method.
