Subjectively described effects of Lesson Study on the professional development of teachers: qualitative research
Valínová, Veronika ; Laufková, Veronika (advisor) ; Starý, Karel (referee)
The thesis deals with a subjective description of the impact of the Lesson Study on teachers' professional development. The aim of the thesis is to introduce Lesson Study as a specific form of teacher training based on teachers' collaboration in improving the quality of teaching through planning, implementation and reflection of lessons. Lesson Study is based on the Japanese school environment, but in the Czech environment it is an unexplored form. The thesis is divided into two parts, theoretical and empirical. The theoretical part, based on the literature, describes the origins of Lesson Study, its gradual development, characteristics and also its implementation outside the Japanese environment. The empirical part then identifies, through its own qualitative research, the subjectively perceived positives and negatives of Lesson Study for the professional development of the teachers who were part of the research. Teachers cite collaboration, classroom interaction, and connectedness to direct student learning as the main benefits. The most common barrier to implementing Lesson Study is the perceived time- consuming nature of the cycle, which is detailed in the paper. The research was conducted in a second level primary school in Prague in the school year 2023/2024. The main research method was a...

It defines both the basic terms presented with tandem teaching, its development, as well as the possibilities for directors to introduce tandem teaching, based on the positives and negatives and already implemented research. The research part of the work uses qualitative research methods and includes the analysis of semi-structured interviews. Interviews were used with teachers, pupils and the principal. The aim of the work is to describe how the principal supports professional development in the field of tandem teaching and how teachers at a selected elementary school prepare for tandem teaching and how they cooperate and communicate. yes, tandem teaching is not given enough attention at school, mainly due to a lack of funding. The cooperation and communication of teachers is very different. Teachers emphasize mutual enrichment, better attention of pupils, behavior and results of pupils, but also building collegiality, obtaining effective feedback. Although tandem teaching is...

Genomic instability associated with formation of RNA:DNA hybrids and molecular mechanisms of its suppression
Naščáková, Zuzana
One of the most common infections of a human organism is an infection of stomach induced by pathogenic bacteria Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). It is estimated that every second person is infected, with even higher prevalence in developing countries. As a quiet enemy, H. pylori can colonise a human stomach for decades without manifestation of infection-associated symptoms. However, chronic infection may cause severe damage to the stomach tissue, subsequently leading to the development of gastric diseases, including gastritis and ulcer disease. H. pylori infection is also a driving cause of gastric cancer, with 80% of gastric cancers being associated with chronic infection. H. pylori ensures its life-long persistence in a human host organism via the action of its virulence factors, which have a pleiotropic effect on multiple systems, mostly acting on the attenuation of a human immune system and the induction of atrophy of stomach tissue. The irreversible changes of stomach epithelium are induced by activation of an innate immune response in H. pylori-exposed epithelial cells through the stimulation of ALPK1/TIFA/NF-κB signalling pathway upon a recognition of β-ADP heptose, an intermediate product of bacterial lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis, and consequently leading to the formation of DNA...
