Chmel, Roman ; Nováčková, Marta (advisor) ; Pastor, Zlatko (referee) ; Smetanová, Dagmar (referee)
The aim of the dissertation was a retrospective-prospective analysis of the anatomical and functional effect of a neovagina creation using Vecchietti vaginoplasty, including the evaluation of quality of life, sexuality and interest in motherhood in women with Mayer- Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome (MRKHS).

The control group consisted of age-matched women without congenital anomalies of the genitals. The cause of MRKHS with agenesis of the uterus and the upper two-thirds of the vagina is the incorrect development of the paramesonephric (Müllerian) ducts. The ovaries are normal, oogenesis proceeds as usual and the production of female sex hormones is also normal.

Novel Feidu by Chinese author Jia Pingwa
Smetanová, Dagmar ; Andrš, Dušan (advisor) ; Lomová, Olga (referee)
This thesis analyses the novel Feidu (1993) by the contemporary Chinese writer Jia Pingwa (*1952). The novel is not easy to classify under any of the literary genres present in China in the 1990s. Its setting in an urban environment and the focus on the upper social class of intellectuals, sets it apart even from the rest of Jia Pingwa's work. In an imaginative way, Feidu creates a picture of Chinese society in the last decade of the 20th century against the backdrop of the fictional metropolis Xijing, drawing attention to the far-reaching problems associated with this period, especially the rapid commercialization and the irreversible decline of Chinese culture. This thesis brings forward an analysis of narrative techniques, subjects and general meaning of the novel, views it within the context of the rest of the author's work and considers the novel's relation to the traditional Chinese narrative fiction, to which Feidu refers in many ways.
