Nechvátalová, Jana ; Pšenička, Martin (advisor) ; Topolová, Barbara (referee)
The aim of the thesis is to discover and analyse the aesthetics and deautomatization techniques occurring in skateboarding since its inception in the 1950s. As part of my research, I will be focusing on individual types of skateboarding, which I will examine from the aesthetics perspective. Another object of my research will be communication in this sector and specific manifestation of a particular subculture. I will also pay attention to the influence of the environment on the development of skateboarding and the renaming of this area thanks to this influence. Last but not least, I will be interested in the social aspect; how watching skateboarding in public space is reflected in the perception of this activity.

Bláhová, Monika ; Krylov, Vladimír (advisor) ; Pšenička, Martin (referee)
Thanks to their ability to differentiate into variable cell types and migrate to the site of an injury mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are broadly used in regenerative medicine. Their relative easy availability together with the property to control the immune system determines them as a cure of autoimmune diseases or a recovery of wounded tissues. Similar features posses Sertoli cells which take place in the seminiferous tubule of testis. Cell culture of testicular stem cells from juvenile male testes of X. tropicalis (XtTSC) was established in supervisor's laboratory. This cell culture showing both MSC's and SeC's properties was transformed to carry red fluorescent protein RFP. The aim of this diploma thesis was to investigate an behavior of transformed XtTSC in living organism, therefore cells were transplanted into the X. tropicalis tadpoles in stage 41. Subsequently, their migration potential was explored. To study of XtTSC's differentiation potential it was necessary to introduce a reliable sectioning techniques for the subsequent immunohistochemical analysis. Based on our experiments, we found that the XtTSC's cell culture contains precursors of SeC and peri-tubular myoid cells, however in vivo these cells turned into the dedifferentiated MSC-like state allowing a strong migration through the...

The aim of the bachelor thesis is to characterize three last stage productions of the Vinohrady theatre of the play Loupeznik by the well known playwright, author and a democrat Karel Čapek. Karel Čapek was one of the most remarkable authors of the 1920s and 1930s. The author of this thesis attempts to make a reconstruction of the last three stage productions of Loupeznik at the Vinohrady theatre based on available infomation found. The first and oldest one being stage production of 1972 by the director Frantisek Stepanek. The second one being the stage production by director Jan Novak of 1988. And the last and newest one is the stage production by director Thomas Topfer of 2015. The more detailed analysis will be provided to the first and third production respectively because of the more information available for these including the video recording of these two productions. On the other hand, for the second production very little material being available and thus to reconstruct this 1988 one based on the material was very difficult. In the order to reconstruct the productions the author bases his research upon archival theater reviews and studies in particular periodicals, photographical material from the productions and in some cases also audiovisual recordings. Other resources include also the...
