Community activities (tradition and status quo) in small localities
Hatka, Tomáš ; Hudečková, Helena (advisor) ; Tomáš, Tomáš (referee)
The subject of this thesis is the sociocultural role of associations in small localities, which are villages and small towns. Through two selected interest activities typical for small localities and organized on the basis of associations / clubs, soccer clubs and volunteer fire, are explored traditions in selected municipalities and scope of current community activities. Importance is attached to social relations acting both within societies and among them. The theoretical basis is for them the concept of Ferdinand Tonnies Gemeinschaft und Gesellschaft, which indicating two types of social relations based on a distinction between two kinds of human will. Qualitative research focused on the perception of traditions, current status, mission and needs for the future with regard to the development activities carried out by three generations of representatives of these associations shows generational differences in perceptions of community activities. Through systematic registration of current needs with regard to the future development of community activities outlines this thesis opportunities for mutual cooperation, leading not only benefit the organizations themselves, but also for the location in which these associations are.

Leisure time of young generation reflecting its function of prevention in the Rychnovsko region
Bílek, Radek ; Hudečková, Helena (advisor) ; Tomáš, Tomáš (referee)
This dissertation focuses on free time as a new phenomenon in the industrially advanced society. The goal of this paper is firstly to map how the monitored group of children and youth from Rychnov nad Kněžnou and surrounding villages spend their free time and secondly how the above mentioned group comprehends the preventive function of free time. After the theoretical part which is focused on sociology of leisure, leisure education, and rural and urban area, there is an empirical part containing secondary and primary research (performed in form of questioning) with special focus on offering free time activities. The research found out that both groups of pupils (from urban as well as from the rural area) perceive the free time, possibilities of spending it, and their wishes for better spending the free time in similar way. Although the offer of free time activities in the rural area is significantly more limited compared to the free time activities offered in the urban area, the pupils living in the rural area are surprisingly satisfied with the offer. This limited offer is often accompanied with more common feeling of boredom which could grow into being dangerous; in view of preventive function of free time this fact is not insignificant.

The activities of social inclusion in the countryside (the case of hippotherapy)
Bezstarostová, Lenka ; Hudečková, Helena (advisor) ; Tomáš, Tomáš (referee)
The thesis deals with an issue which combines social inclusion and therapy by using horses. Its aim is to standardize obstacles whose removal institutional intervention could be in the area of social inclusion of disadvantaged groups specifically contribute to good during the process of thein again return to society and active life.
The theoretical part deals with issue of human coexistence with animals in modern society, which builds on the active co-existence in the past. Further the work is focused on the question what social function it performs human coexistence with animals and deals with the problems of the disabled, debilitated and thein rehabilitationthrough hippotherapy.
In the practical part are mapped organizations focused on hiporehabilitation location in the rural and urban environment, legal forms and methods of operation. Theprimary research are explored barriers and challenges faced by the operators of thismethod in practice. The economic and psychological barriers have been confirmed by the operators and clients hippotherapy. Other barriers (social character) deal of operators hippotherapy, while other clients have special obstacles. In both cases there is not a solvability of the institutional intervention.

The supply and demand of leisure activities in a small town in a vicinity of Prague
Kratochvílová, Hana ; Hudečková, Helena (advisor) ; Tomáš, Tomáš (referee)
The essay is focused on spending free time of adults in Roztoky and possibilities of activities, eventualy on free time facilities, that the adults would be interested in, but is absent in Roztoky. For that, in the theoretical part, the essay concerns free time - its definitions, functions, history, means of spending it and two of its disciplines, sociology and pedagogy of free time. Consequently the essay gives information about Roztoky, structure of its residents and local options of free time activities.
The practical part first describes the results of the questionnaires run in order to learn the request of absent activities or free time facilities from the selected surveyed Roztoky residents. Then the essay considers the conversations with the town authorities and the local persons involved to find.

Local identity in a small village (a case study)
Kokschová, Veronika ; Hudečková, Helena (advisor) ; Tomáš, Tomáš (referee)
The first part of bachelor thesis covers the theoretical background of local identity. It describes the terms such as identity, countryside, culture and endogenous and other aspects of local development. Theoretical part also covers the demographic structure of Hory Matky Boží. Hory Matky Boží is a part of village Velhartice which is located close to town Sušice. It is a former mining town with a long history as well as with a development from last century.
The empirical research consists of questionnaire survey based on a local identity. The research uncovers meaning of location, identification of inhabitants with this location and satisfaction with living in this location. Basic Outcomes of this survey confirm that identification of local people with this location and its meaning for them are mainly based on natural potential of the location itself. Identification with a place is based on connection with social and cultural capital of the location and also on formalized social capital expressed by the civic engagement.

A study of the possibility of waste pastries using for the bioproduction of selected metabolites
Hudečková, Helena ; Vránová, Dana (referee) ; Babák, Libor (advisor)
The aim of this diploma thesis was to study the possibility of using waste bread to bioproduction of selected metabolites. As bakery waste was used waste bread that came from coffee-house “Zastávka”. Bread was pre-treated by grinding into small particles and then it was made to form 15% w/v suspension, which was subjected to enzymatic hydrolysis. For the hydrolysis has been used the -amylase for liquefaction of the substrate and that was followed by a glucoamylase which sacharificated the substrate. There have been several methods of hydrolysis from which was chosen the optimal method for pre-treatment of the substrate prior to fermentation. The effectivity and a process of hydrolysis were determined spectrophotometrically by Somogyi-Nelson method. Final yields of glucose from hydrolysis were determined by HPLC method. Enzymatic hydrolysis was followed by fermentation, which was carried out in two ways, namely by adjusting the pH of the hydrolyzate to pH 5, and without pH adjustment. During the fermentation was carried out sampling in which was determined the content of glucose, glycerol and ethanol by HPLC method. The yeasts Saccharomyces cerevisiae were used for the fermentation which was performed at 30 °C. High yield of glucose was achieved by hydrolysis in two steps (70,28 gl-1), but for the fermentation was used mixed hydrolysis (second method of mixed hydrolysis) with yield 67,94 gl-1. High ethanol yield was achieved during fermentation without treatment pH, namely 31,5 gl-1.

Study of growth and metabolic properties of selected microorganisms
Hudečková, Helena ; Šupinová, Petra (referee) ; Babák, Libor (advisor)
The aim of this Bachelor thesis was study of the growth and production of selected metabolites of microorganisms, namely Lactobacillus casei and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Microorganisms were cultivated in Erlenmeyer flasks by using the recommended media for their growth. The growth curves were determined from the values of optical density and concentration of biomass. Samples were then analyzed by HPLC for determination of the content of glucose and ethanol in S. cerevisiae and the content of glucose and lactic acid by L. casei.
