Soil C content dynamics
Bláhová, Štěpánka ; Šefrna, Luděk (advisor) ; Kubát, Jaromír (referee)
Climate change is the main topic in the broad scientific community for its natural, social and economical consequences and its impact on human lives. The global carbon cycle is a major component in these problems. High rates of anthropogenic CO2 emissions have been partly restrained by terrestrial ecosystems. Understanding carbon flows and mechanisms in different land use is essential for mitigation of further changes. This diploma thesis applies soil organic matter model RothC-26.3 to simulate the effect of awaited climate change on two agricultural sites in the Czech Republic - Ruzyně and Lukavec, from 1990 until 2065. Simulations were executed for three sowing plans: traditional Norfolk, canola cultivation and change from agricultural land to a grassland. In Ruzyně, the accumulation of total on-site carbon was observed in all these three sowing plans for the whole time period. In Lukavec, the Norfolk sowing plan showed a slight loss of carbon, the carbon in the canola sowing plan stagnated and in the land-use change case the carbon rose. The main difference between the sites is the clay content percentage, however, clay is not responsible for such a difference between the sites. There was not much comparison between measured and modelled data as yet; this is planned to be done in further research to...

Foster care for temporary period: Process of imparting child to biological family
Bláhová, Štěpánka ; Šotolová, Eva (advisor) ; Mlčková, Marie (referee)
TITLE: Foster care for temporary period: Process of imparting child to biological family ABSTRACT: This thesis is dedicated to the question of process of returning children from foster care for temporary period to their biological family. Its aim was to spot problems that have occurred within the process and to provide suggestions for their possible solution. Research among a sample of eight families was carried via semistructured interview method. The results were summed up in case studies, while each case was thoroughly analysed. Research questions were answered and the answers were presented collectively for all families. The research uncovered repetitive failures in the process of imparting children from foster care for temporary period to their biological family. The outcome of the research was a recommendation for Ministry of Labour and Social affairs, in whose competence this area of foster care lies. KEYWORDS: Foster care Foster care for temporary period Biological family Process of imparting a child Social worker

Kinesiotaping
Bláhová, Štěpánka ; Ježková, Martina (advisor) ; Suzan, Zuzana (referee)
There are many factors defining the shape and configuration of the medial longitudinal arch of the foot. In the physiotherapeutical practice, we strive to alter and improve its supportive and propulsive function. Kinesiotaping, as one of the currently very popular methods, has still not been sufficiently elucidated according to the evidence based medicine approach. The practical part of the presented thesis contributes to a better understanding of the potential effect of kinesiotaping on pronated foot using quantitative and objective methods. We evaluated the parameters obtained by footprint analysis from an experimental group (n=12) in order to investigate if they improve after 3 weeks of kinesiotaping as compared to a control group (n=12). The relationship between static measurements and dynamic tests of foot postural function was also taken into account. The results may complement the study of Luque-Suareze et al. (2014) which presents short-time effect of kinesiotaping on pronated foot.

Ecological consequences connected with sealing of soils in Prague periphery influenced by higway D1
Polická, Petra ; Šefrna, Luděk (advisor) ; Bláhová, Štěpánka (referee)
Sealing of soils in the city fringe is currently reaching a range, which we have never seen in the past. Cities are spreading, commercial development along important highways is rising and hectares of the fertile soils are diseppearing under the tons of concrete, asphalt and other artificial surfaces. The negative consequences of the loss of this important nature resource on the environment and lanscape balance are obvious. Impervious surfaces are the main reason of the run off changes, of the changes in the matter exchange between ekosystems and of the loss of a lot of important soil functions. The landscape is being homogenized and its fragmentation is rising. This work warns against irresponsible sealing of fertile agricultural soils surroundings the highway D1 in the periphery of Prague. Two thirds of sealed soils belong to the first classes of soil protection (luvisols), which can be built up only exceptionally. Contemporary legislative in the Czech Republic is visibly poor and it is necessary to accept more efficient control instruments. Keywords: Suburbanization, Sealing of soils, Impervious surfaces, Soil functions

The influence of positive thinking on the quality of life of people of working age people of working age
BLÁHOVÁ, Štěpánka
This work deals with positive thinking and its impact on quality of the life. The theoretical part describes positive thinking, what affects it, and if is the possibility to change the thinking. It further describes concept of quality of the life and with it the most associated term the Health. In following chapters, I deal with concepts of optimism, pessimism, and the conclusion of theoretical work form chapters about failure, success and goals.The practical part contains data obtained from the questionnaire, which is aimed on finding the quality of life. To determine the quality of life was used assessment method named SEIQoL (KŘIVOHLAVÝ, 2001). Another part of the research includes interviews with selected individuals and finding a way of thinking by using the scale of prevailing way of thinking (Slezáčková, 2012). In selected individuals are results of SEIQoL methods compared with the results of the scale prevailing way of thinking.
