Nováková, Iveta ; Jirák, Jan (advisor) ; Cebe, Jan (referee)
This thesis named " Media Representation of the Scout Movement in Czech Internet Media iDNES.cz and Novinky.cz" focuses on the way Scouting is pictured in these two popular types of Czech media. The aim of the work is to analyse certain titles to find out how Scouting is presented as an organisation. The work is divided into three main parts - theoretical resource, methodological and analytical parts. The first chapter interprets technical terms mainly connected with the representation of reality or construction of reality. Furthermore, the chapter offers a brief interpretation of history and the current state of Czech Scouting. The second methodological part contains a description of the methods applied and shortly characterises certain titles. Finally, the last part describes particular forms of presentation of the Scout movement in certain media. The problematic is handled with three set research questions. By means of qualitative analyses, the work thoroughly describes the presentation of the Scout movement by certain media.

Nováková, Iveta ; Fialová, Ludmila (advisor) ; Velková, Alice (referee)
Population development in the political district of Kutná Hora in the period of 1880-1910 Abstract This bachelor thesis deals with the analysis of population development in the political district of Kutna Hora during years 1880-1910. The political district of Kutna Hora was divided in two judicial districts - Kutna Hora and Uhlirske Janovice. The area of Kutna Hora belonged to the Czech regions where changes of ongoing demographic revolution were implemented very soon. This was thanks to the district town where more job opportunities in industry and services occurred. The judicial district of Uhlirske Janovice belonged to the regions oriented more on agriculture. Handcraft and glass industry were traditional for the villages in this region. Keywords: Population development, structure of population, Historical demography, Political District of Kutna Hora, Birthrate, Mortality, Marriage rate, Population increase

Public Media Ownership as an Instrument of Political Contest
Nováková, Iveta ; Švec, Kamil (advisor) ; Mlejnek, Josef (referee)
The connection between world of media and world of politics is unchallengeable. Every politician wants to show himself in the best way in front of the electors. It is understandable that they care about how they are presented in media. There is one opportunity how politicians could influence the media content - they could control part of the media market. And that could be a potential problem. There are many countries which solve this question in recent few years and Czech Republic is not an exception. Andrej Babiš is the chairman of Czech political party ANO and founder of supra-national company Agrofert. He bought one of the biggest and most influence media groups in Czech Republic MAFRA in 2013 (MAFRA contains for example the website iDNES.cz and newspaper Mladá Fronta DNES). Since that time many people talk about Babiš's conflict of interests, which is unacceptable for many politicians, experts and also for many citizens. The main aim of this bachelor thesis is to analyse Czech political scene related with this topic. Theoretical part enables the higher orientation in the world of media and it also provides the information that is necessary for the analytic part of the thesis. On the other side the analytic part concentrates on the Czech Republic and it analyses the specific situation in Czech...

TRANSPORT OF NSAIDs ACROSS A BLOOD-BRAIN BARRIER IN VITRO MODEL BASED ON CELL LINE PBMEC/C1-2
Nováková, Iveta ; Štaud, František (advisor) ; Červený, Lukáš (referee)
Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology Candidate: Mgr. Iveta Nováková Consultant: Prof. PharmDr. František Štaud, Ph.D. Title of Thesis: Transport of NSAIDS across a blood-brain barrier in vitro model based on cell line PBMEC/C1-2 The blood-brain barrier (BBB) has a prominent role in regulation of the transport of substances into and out of the central nervous system (CNS). Partly, the BBB inhibits the entrance of substances harmful for the brain, it regulates the delivery of needed substances and it takes part in efflux of useless substances as well. The equilibrium of these regulation systems is essential for the correct function of the CNS, without which the homeostasis would be disturbed. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are very well known for their anti- inflammatory effect, for reduction of fever and pain. Due to their bright, everyday usage, some side effects on the brain were observed (sleepiness, giddiness, nausea). This has evoked the question, how NSAIDs can cross the BBB. PBMEC/C1-2 cell monolayer was used as an in vitro model of the BBB. The transport of following NSAIDs was investigated: celecoxib, diclofenac, ibuprofen, lornoxicam, meloxicam, piroxicam and tenoxicam. The experiments were carried out...

Transport nesteroidních antiflogistik přes hematoencefalickou bariéru in vitro
Nováková, Iveta ; Červený, Lukáš (referee) ; Štaud, František (advisor)
The migration of substances between the blood circulation and the central nervous system (CNS) is regulated by the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Small, lipophilic molecules such as carbon dioxide, oxygen or ethanol can pass the BBB by passive, transcellular diffusion, while the paracellular transport of hydrophilic substances is restricted by intercellular tight junctions. Due to accessory transport systems, the BBB is able to regulate specifically the permeation of substances (e.g. nutrients) (Ballabh et al., 2004). Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are among the most commonly used substances world-wide, yet little is known about their ability to cross the BBB. Since NSAIDs may exhibit CNS side effects including dizziness, headaches and drowsiness we sought to study the transport of several NSAIDs (celecoxib, diclofenac, ibuprofen, lornoxicam, meloxicam, piroxicam and tenoxicam). Both single studies and group studies were carried out applying either a single substance or several substances simultaneously across the BBB in vitro model based on the human cell line ECV304. The permeability data were normalized to the internal standards diazepam and carboxyfluorescein to account for cell layer's variabilities. According to our studies, it was confirmed that crossing of ibuprofen and...

Serological evidence of Lyme borreliosis
NOVÁKOVÁ, Iveta
This bachelor thesis deals with Lyme borreliosis (Lyme disease). Lyme disease has a worldwide distribution. It is caused by several species of the Borrelia bacteria that vary according to geographic occurrence. In our country, this disease is transmitted, above all, by hard ticks of the genus Ixodes ricinus (Other genera are prevalent in other parts of the world.). These ticks are present in a wet environment, e.g. in the woods or in high grass. This poses a higher risk for people who stay or work in similar sites; i.e. lumberjacks, but also for children who spend their free time in the great outdoors. According to symptoms Lyme disease can be divided into three stages: stage 1 is called early localized Lyme borreliosis, stage 2 is called early disseminated Lyme disease, and stage 3 is called late disseminated, or persistent Lyme disease. The most frequently reported typical early sign is a rash called erythema migrans (EM). EM is an oval reddish skin eruption created at the site of the tick bite; this skin condition may gradually disappear. Other symptoms are: borrelial lymphocytoma, conjunctivitis, neuroborreliosis, Lyme carditis, etc. Therefore, generally recommended preventive measures should be used before each trip to an area infested with ticks in order to avoid contact with the ticks. Lyme disease is treated with antibiotics that are administered to a patient upon confirmation of the disease. As a rule the following antibiotics are prescribed: cephalosporin, macrolide, tetracycline or penicillin, depending on at what stage of the disease medication is prescribed and whether the patient shows typical Lyme disease symptoms. Laboratory diagnostics of Lyme disease relies on direct and indirect methods. The direct methods include: cultivation of Borrelia, hybridization, immunoelectron microscopy, and the PCR method (polymerase chain reaction) applied to prove the presence of borrelial DNA. Of all the methods, PCR is most often the method of choice. The indirect diagnostic methods are: indirect immunofluorescence, Western blot (WB) and ELISA tests (enzyme linked Immunosorbent Assay). These methods are used mainly to establish specific antibodies of the class IgM and IgG. The aim of this thesis was to analyze patients' samples for the presence of Lyme disease by means of the ELISA test and the Western blot, to test these methods, and to evaluate their results. The individual samples of serums, liquors and punctuates to be analyzed were provided by the Teaching Hospital in Pilsen, specifically by the Department of Serology and Parasitology. The samples must be diluted before examination. The method ELISA involved the use of a device manufactured by Dynex, DSX (an automated ELISA system). This device determines IgM and IgG antibodies in samples and facilitates analysis of up to 96 patient samples during a single measurement. The author of this thesis used this opportunity to try the manual determination of the ELISA test whose use is rather infrequent, especially in situations where a large number of samples need analyzing. The further examination of the IgM and IgG antibodies was accomplished with a Western blot, specifically by means of a commercial set for manual determination. The author applied the ELISA test to a total of 90 samples in the IgM class. 4 samples were borderline and 4 were positive. The same method was used to analyze the same 90 samples in the IgG class where 4 samples were positive. The Western blot method was used to examine 98 samples. The IgM class was borderline in 5 samples and positive in 18 samples. The IgG class was borderline in 5 samples and positive in 30 samples. Following laboratory examination the results of serological tests and clinical symptoms must be considered by a physician who suggests a suitable method to prove Lyme disease and exclude others.
