Prehistoric settlement of Levý Hradec (Central Bohemia)
Vávrová, Barbora ; Bláhová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Dobeš, Miroslav (referee)
The thesis presents the results of processing the excavation of the acropolis of Levý Hradec (district of Praha-západ). The excavation took place between 1940-1954 under the leadership of Ivan Borkovský (ARÚ ČSAV in Prague). The hillfort is known as the Early Medieval center, however it was notably settled during the prehistory as well. Unfortunately, these findings have not been processed yet. The main aim of this thesis was the identification of prehistoric cultures on the basis of pottery collection, assignment of the extent of settlement in particular cultures and effort to date the prehistoric phases of fortification on the basis of original documentation and the pottery findings. Moreover, there was the attempt to identificate the excavated objects in documentation and cross connect the pottery with documentation.

Development of Physiotherapy Students' Attitude towards Back Pain
Bláhová, Zuzana ; Kavka, Tomáš (advisor) ; Obešlo, Marek (referee)
Background: There is evidence that the beliefs and attitudes of physiotherapists are associated with their choice of patient management. The fundamentals of these beliefs are thought to have been realized during their university studies. Until now, however, no official study has researched how university education influences the beliefs of physiotherapists and how this is associated with their development in the Czech Republic Objectives: To describe the development of the physiotherapy students' beliefs and attitudes towards low back pain and their understanding of pain knowledge in the Czech Republic. Furthermore, to investigate whether or not there is any correlation between these topics. Participants: First-year physiotherapy students, Third-year physiotherapy students, Fifth (the second magister year) year physiotherapy students, and non-healthcare students within the age range of 22 to 26 (control group) Methods: 1) completion of translated and cross-cultural adapted The Back-Pain Attitudes Questionnaire (Back-PAQ), 2) completion of translated and cross-cultural adapted The Neurophysiology of Pain Questionnaire (NPQ) Results: 251 respondents were included. The mean Back-PAQ score was within the controlled group 107 (SD 8.47) and there was a significant decrease in score in the fifth- year...

Regulace biosyntézy vysoce nenasycených mastných kyselin (LC-PUFA) u ryb
BLÁHOVÁ, Zuzana
The aim of the thesis was to explore the biosynthesis of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs) with special focus on its role in adaptation to new environmental conditions in fish. The impact of impaired LC-PUFA pathway on reproduction of zebrafish (Danio rerio) was studied by the modern reverse genetic approach CRISPR/Cas9. Throughout the Earth´s history, the living organisms evolved to its current form in response to natural climate change, a slow natural phenomenon that has lasted for thousands or millions of years. However, in recent less than 100 years, anthropogenic factors induced a rapid process of global warming. Nutritional quality, when defined as the value of the product for the consumer´s physical health, growth, development and reproduction, is at a risk. Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (LC-PUFA) biomolecules are essential dietary components for virtually all animals and humans. However, LC-PUFAs provisioning by changing ecosystems is predicted to decline significantly. Animals and human are usually able to produce LC-PUFAs endogenously from shorter and less unsaturated C18 fatty acid precursors obtained from the diet. However, the yield of LC-PUFA biomolecules biosynthesized is too low to meet physiological needs. Rather, LC-PUFA biosynthesis is considered to play a role as a compensational apparatus to maintain homeostasis under fluctuating environmental conditions. The first and rate-limiting step in LC-PUFA biosynthesis is catalysed by FADS2 enzyme. It has been demonstrated that fads2 was the key metabolic gene important for overcoming the nutritional constraints associated with colonisations of nutritionally pure water environments after glacial retreat. In human population, fads2 showed strong signatures of selection as well as confirmed in Greenland Eskimos colonising polar regions. Chapter 2 of the thesis summarized the current knowledge and assessed fatty acid desaturase (FADS2) structure-function properties in fish in the context of environmental adaptations and as a target for genetic engineering. The work highlighted the FADS2 potential to play roles fundamental to adaptation to novel environmental conditions and reviewed investigations to elucidate the evolutionary history of fish FADS2, explaining the remarkable plasticity of this enzyme in fish, depicted the importance of FADS2 in the context of dwindling LC-PUFAs supply and mentioned a few remedies in the form of genetic engineering to improve endogenous LC-PUFA biosynthesis. FADS2 was presented as a fascinating enzyme with far-reaching implications for environmental sustainability and playing roles in adaptations to novel environments. Previous research has provided substantial evidence of significant effects of dietarily obtained LC-PUFA levels and ?3: ?6 LC-PUFA balance on broodstock reproduction success (Sarih et al., 2020). However, the information on the impact of ablation of LC-PUFAs of endogenous origin was missing in fish and other anamniotic vertebrates as well. That fact prompted us to fill this gap of knowledge. Chapter 3 of this thesis investigated a direct functional link between fads2 gene and reproduction success in zebrafish (Danio rerio) by reverse genetic approach. We have investigated the functional link between FADS2 and reproduction success of zebrafish females by observing the direct impact of partial fads2 gene knock out on their egg batches fatty acyl methyl ester (FAMEs) profile. We observed the presence of an alternative ?8 desaturation pathway (elongation ? ?8 desaturation ? ?5 desaturation) besides the classical ?6 pathway (?6 desaturation ? elongation? ?5 desaturation) in zebrafish in vivo, which we explain as an active regulation of LC-PUFA biosynthesis under the depletion of functional fads2 gene alleles following the CRISPR/Cas9 genome targeting. We suggest that zebrafish bifunctional ?6/ ?5 desaturase is, in fact, the trifunctional ?8/?6/?5 desaturase.

Recently excavated burial grounds of the Únětice culture near Kolín (Central Bohemia)
Král, Vlastimil ; Bláhová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Limburský, Petr (referee)
Theses is focused on analysis of early bronze age burial sites excavated during the rescue excavation caused by highway construction around the town of Kolín. Two burial sites in a range of 70 and 13 burials were examined. Information from both of these burial sites were analyzed on the basis of fieldwork research from years 2008-2009. The larger burial site was ascribed to late Únětice Culture by material finds, the smaller burial site was recognized as early Únětice Culture. Burial rite had a same standard characteristic as in other Únětice regions. Local differences in burial rite dwelled in a specific finds, which are not common in an eastern part of Middle Bohemia (amber, animal blade bone). Secondary burial disturbances was traced in all kind of burials of men, women and children. The reason why was secondary burial disturbance not connected to only one group of burials, but to all of them is not clear. Types of ceramic shapes support connection with Moravian region. Thanks to new knowledge about Únětice culture in the eastern part of Middle Bohemia, we can observe, that settlement concentration was in late Únětice culture same as in other Únětice regions. Key words: early bronze age, Únětice Culture, burial sites, burial rite, Kolín region, burial disturbance

Evidences of social and thought structures in the South Bohemian middle bronze age
Tisucká, Marika ; Bláhová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Chvojka, Ondřej (referee)
Cílem diplomové práce bylo přispět k problematice střední doby bronzové v jižních Čechách. Za tímto účelem jsem shromáždila dostupný nálezový fond, který jsem jednotným způsobem zpracovala, zdokumentovala a analyzovala. Ze sledovaného nálezového fondu jsem vyčlenila kategorii nálezů z mohyl a z depotů. U nálezů z mohyl jsem se pokusila rekonstruovat nálezové celky. Podařilo se mi rekonstruovat 149 nálezových celků z mohyl. Tyto celky z mohyl a depoty jsem dále analyzovala. Soustředila jsem se především na typologicko-chronologickou analýzu bronzové industrie, artefaktů ze zlata a jantaru a analýzu skladby jednotlivých celků. Provedené rozbory byly východiskem k datování celků a k rozpracování chronologických horizontů, které jsem mapově zpracovala.
