Application and properties of silicone textile coatings
Bernátová, Silvia ; Petruš, Josef (referee) ; Kučera, František (advisor)
The diploma thesis in the first part deals with a theoretical description of coating technologies, textile materials used in coatings, types of coated polymers and properties of coatings - especially adhesion. The experimental part of the work is devoted to the preparation of textile coatings from polyester fabric and coating based on addition silicone. Using the developed method of sample preparation for T-peel testing of the adhesive strength, the improvement of the adhesion of the coating by chemical adhesion with the support of adhesive agents was studied. The second method studied the change in compactness and adhesion of the coating to the fabric after shaking as a function of breathability. The influence of side reactions of reagents on silicone cohesion was studied by preparing dogbones for testing tensile-deformation properties. The research also included the characterization of silicone samples using ATR-FTIR, monitoring the weight gain and thickness of the fabric after coating, the feel and color stability of the applied fabric and observing the coating under an optical microscope.

SERS-TAGS: Selective immobilization and detection of bacteria using specific antibodies and surface-enhanced Raman scattering
Benešová, Markéta ; Bernatová, Silvie ; Samek, Ota ; Pokorná, Zuzana ; Mika, Filip ; Kizovský, Martin ; Pilát, Zdeněk
Raman spectroscopy is a non-destructive instrumental analytical technique based on Raman scattering, which is the inelastic scattering of photons that occurs when interacting with electrons in chemical bonds. With the help of Raman spectroscopy, chemical compounds, their mixtures and biological samples, including living organisms, can be analyzed very quickly, non-contactly and non-destructively. The performed measurements can be compared with spectra databases. A problem with Raman spectroscopy is that samples sometimes give a weak signal that is often overlaid by intense fluorescence. SERS (surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy) is used to amplify Raman scattering.

Principal component analysis of Raman spectroscopy data for determination of biofilm forming bacteria and yeasts
Šiler, Martin ; Samek, Ota ; Bernatová, Silvie ; Mlynariková, K. ; Ježek, Jan ; Šerý, Mojmír ; Krzyžánek, Vladislav ; Hrubanová, Kamila ; Holá, M. ; Růžička, F. ; Zemánek, Pavel
Many microorganisms (e.g., bacteria, yeast, and algae) are known to form a multi-layered structure composed of cells and extracellular matrix on various types of surfaces. Such a formation is known as the biofilm. Special attention is now paid to bacterial biofilms that are formed on the surface of medical implants, surgical fixations, and artificial tissue/vascular\nreplacements. Cells contained within such a biofilm are well protected against antibiotics and phagocytosis and, thus, effectively resist antimicrobial attack.\nA method for in vitro identification of individual bacterial cells as well as yeast colonies is presented. Figure 1 shows an an example of the biofilm formed by Staphylococcus epidermidis bacteria and Candida parapsilosis yeasts known for forming biofilms. The\npresented method is based on analysis of spectral “Raman fingerprints” obtained from the single cell or whole colony, see figure 2(top). Here, Raman spectra might be taken from the biofilm-forming cells without the influence of an extracellular matrix or directly form the bacterial/yeast colony.

Specific forms of users interaction with holographic optical tweezers controlled by leap motion
Keša, P. ; Tomori, Z. ; Kaňka, Jan ; Jákl, Petr ; Šerý, Mojmír ; Bernatová, Silvie ; Antalík, M. ; Zemánek, Pavel
Optical tweezers allows contactless three-dimensional manipulation with electrically neutral objects of sizes from tens of nanometers to tens of micrometers. Mouse or joystick are the traditional devices to control the positions of trapping beams in holographic optical tweezers that provide optical manipulation with microobjects. Our approach is based on a modern 3D depth sensors combined with gestures and speech recognition software. The human operator controls the position of one trapping beam by a traditional pointing device like mouse or joystick. However, manipulation with more objects needs control of corresponding number of independent trapping beams generated by a spatial light modulator. We upgraded own NUI software which processes signals from sensors and sends the control commands to holographic Raman tweezers which subsequently controls the positions of trapping microparticles and the acquisition system of Raman spectra.

Raman tweezers: principle and applications
Bernatová, Silvie ; Samek, Ota ; Pilát, Zdeněk ; Ježek, Jan ; Kaňka, Jan ; Šiler, Martin ; Zemánek, Pavel
Raman tweezers combines the optical trap for non-contact micromanipulation of micro-objects with Raman spectroscopy for chemical analysis of the sample. This combination presents an efficient tool for concurrent spectroscopic analysis of chemical composition and micromanipulation allowing sorting or probing of mechanical properties of the sample. Raman tweezers were successfully used for example in characterization of biomolecules like DNA, for sorting of cells and investigation of the link between their chemical and mechanical properties.

Value system of seniors
BERNÁTOVÁ, Soňa
The main focus of this thesis is the lifestyle and value system of seniors. It is based both upon the specialized literature and the related information. I was able to gather. The theoretical part of this thesis deals with the characteristics of the basic concepts {--} the old age and the process of ageing. It looks at different levels of personality which are affected by the process. Periodization of age, lifestyle and value system, risk factors endangering healthy lifestyle, stereotypes and myth about old ages are mentioned. The last part of theory gives an overview of the contemporary senior-care system in the Czech Republic. It divided into two parts {--} healthcare and social welfare. The research part goes deeper into the seniors{\crq} lifestyle aimed at their daily activities and boarding skills. It compares value system of seniors living in family environment in town and those, who live in village. Two hypotheses have been confirmed, one not.
