Facial reconstruction: an error of facial features prediction and facial recognition
Trsová, Iva ; Zedníková Malá, Pavla (advisor) ; Eliášová, Hana (referee)
Approximate facial reconstruction by features of the skull is one of the ways of estimating a person's appearance and assessing their identity. However, its use in practice has often been criticised. Even in our modern age, it is not an exclusively scientific method with an outstanding success ratio that would under any circumstances lead to identification of the target individual. It is applied primarily in archeology and forensic anthropology. There are more predictions methods for each part of the face. Each author prefers a different one and new ones are still emerging. The aim of the thesis is to provide an overview of the current prediction methods used in frontal facial reconstruction and also provide information about their precision/reliability. Furthermore, the thesis introduces the matter of facial reconstruction with focus on the changes in the position or size of the facial features (eyes, nose, lips). Key words: facial reconstruction, facial prediction, methods of reconstruction, change the position of facial features, accuracy

Sometimes it is the seeking for the icons that we long for identity, anothcr time the dreaming and surrnounting the barriers that we design. The absurdity oť tbc liťc is not only something that came by the arriving of the modem and postmodcrn period. The myths of Trickster can show us how old and ancient is the absurdity of beying. When I was reading the myth of Trickster for the first time, I intensively perceived the Trickster' s stories pervaded mutually by the comicality, tragicality and absurdity as timeless. I started be more interested in this mythical figure and I explored how richly is this figure represented in the anthropological studies, as well as the bearer and narrator of this myth, the Winnebago tribe, offers the originality and peculiarity in its culturc. The first part of this thesis shows how the Trickster started to be the object of many researches in the anthropological and religious. The Trickster appeared...

Špačková, Kamila ; Velemínská, Jana (advisor) ; Eliášová, Hana (referee)
Child abuse is a very serious and common problem, which is important to diagnose correctly as any mistakes or wrong conclusions may have devastating consequences for both the child and its family. Particularly in cases of infant abuse or fatal injuries, where it is impossible to rely on interviewing the child, it is critical to be able to correctly interpret sustained injuries. With fractures being the second most commonly inflicted injuries, skeletal survey is an essential part of examination. This work offers a general review of skeletal injuries and their interpretation in relation to diagnosing child abuse.
