Facial development in children 6 to 12 years old: longitudinal study
Tošovská, Hana ; Velemínská, Jana (advisor) ; Zedníková Malá, Pavla (referee)
This study is based on evaluative longitudinal data of facial development in a group of children from 6 to 12 years. The research used three-dimensional models of the faces of 18 girls and 15 boys that were scanned at yearly intervals. These models were used to follow development of the face and its particular areas including analysis of variability (PCA). Developmental changes were observed for each gender separately as well as for the development of sexual dimorphism. Results were visualized by using superimposed color maps of average faces of a particular age group and maps depicting the statistically significant differences in individual areas. The presented data exhibited growth in the face of both genders, while slightly bigger changes in the form of the face were observed in the boys' samples. For girls and boys the most intensive growth was found in the direction of the width and height of the entire face and the nose, especially in the direction of length. These changes took place throughout the whole studied period of growth, yet more intensive growth was evident for girls beginning at age 10 years and for boys from 11 years onward. Shape changes also occurred with age for both genders: the face gradually narrowed, the cheeks flattened and a more retruded position of the forehead...

Growth, development and selected demographic data of rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) living in captivity with the extension of a topic into biology didactics and laboratory work in biology
Hniličková, Tereza ; Vančata, Václav (referee) ; Přívratský, Vladimír (referee)
The growth, development and selected demographic data of rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) living in captivity with the extension of a topic into biology didactics and laboratory work in biology. Rigorous thesis deals with the generational differences in growth, weight, height and sitting height of rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) bred in captivity n the primate centre in Konárovice in the Czech republic and in the primate centre in Soci, Russia. It also focuses on the seasonality of birth months and sex ratio of individuals born in different generations. The theoretical part contains the basic information about the rhesus and the history of primate researches. The longitudinal and demographic data are elaborated in the practical part of the dissertation. The last part is didactic and presents rhesus macaque as a model species of catharrina primate and provides basic data about primates suitable for education at elementary and secondary schools. The practical part of didactic deals with the use somatometry as topic in biology didactics and laboratory work in biology focusing on cross-curricular links. Keywords: rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta), longitudinal studies, somatometry, seasonality, demographics, didactic of the primates, laboratory work of somatometry
