Factors influencing boundaries and their quality in the social environment of boys from the juvenile detention Lublaňská
Sochorová, Klára ; Novotná, Alena (advisor) ; Šťastná, Jaroslava (referee)
The thesis focuses on the factors that influence boundaries and their quality in the social environment of boys from the Diagnostic institute Lublanska, in relation to family, pathology, diagnostic institute and leisure. The thesis is divided into a theoretical and a practical part and its aim is to find out what factors play a crucial role in setting boundaries in these boys in terms of family, institution, pathology and free time, under what circumstances and why this is so. The practical part defines the concepts of boundaries, areas of boundaries, youth and adult boundaries, family, family development and dysfunction, family environment, priorities and roles in the family, role identification in the family, upbringing and boundaries in upbringing. The concepts of pathology, risk behaviour syndrome and substance abuse are also introduced. This section also discusses the law on institutional or protective education and defines terms such as diagnostic institution, prevention program, leisure and the risks associated with it. The practical part is devoted to interviews with boys from the Lublanska Diagnostic institute. A quantitative method of semi-structured interview was used in the research investigation to better understand what factors influence the boundaries of the respondents in the...
The role of dendritic cells in various pathological states
Sochorová, Klára ; Bartůňková, Jiřina (advisor) ; Tučková, Ludmila (referee) ; Stříž, Ilja (referee)
Dendritic cells (DCs) represent one of the most important components of the immune system. DCs are the most effective antigen presenting cells with a unique ability to stimulate naive T cells. They ensure the crosstalk between innate and adaptive immunity. They participate in anti-infectious and anti-tumor immune reaction as well as in the induction of tolerance. It is clear, that the defect in DC can be fatal for the organism. In our work we studied the biology of DCs and the disturbances of DCs function in pathological states. We analyzed DCs in patients with Bruton's tyrosin kinase deficiency, we compared the effect of vitamin D analogs, calcitriol and paricalcitol, on DCs and we set up the protocol of DC generation for the immunotherapy of ovarian cancer. In the study concerning btk deficiency and dendritic cell function we found profound impairment of IL-6 and TNF production in response to the stimulation by Toll-like receptor ligand 8. In the second part of our work we compared the effect of calcitriol and paricalcitol on DCs. Both drugs inhibited DCs maturation and decreased their ability to induce proliferation of antigen specific T cells. In the third part of our work we set up the protocol for the DCs, which are able to induce tumor specific immune responses. We optimized the form of tumor antigen...
