Dystopic (and) Environmental Elements and Removing Taboos in Ahmed Naji's Novel
Kubátová, Jana ; Ondráš, František (advisor) ; Kříhová, Zuzana (referee)
The aim of this bachelor's thesis is the analysis of dystopic (and) environmental elements and removing social and environmental taboos in the textual and, to a lesser extent, graphic content of the 2014 novel Istichdām al-ḥajā (Use of Life) by Egyptian writer Aḥmad Nāǧī. The thesis focuses on dystopic (and) environmental elements within the novel's most prominent motifs (and sub-motifs), which are criticism (of Cairo's environment and aspects of Egyptian politics) and frustration (in the spheres of personal unfreedom and interpersonal relationships), and on removing social (sex, drugs) and environmental taboos. All of this is analysed and interpreted within the theoretical-methodological framework of ecocriticism, especially in accord with the results found in Adam Trexler's publication and Teresa Pepe's study. The analysis is also carried out in the context of Arabic and Egyptian environmental literature (the principle of intertextuality), the context of Aḥmad Nāǧī and his trial, and in the cultural and historical context of Egypt in the 21st century. Keywords: Modern Arabic Literature, Egyptian Novel, Dystopia, Environmentalism, Removing Taboos

Neuroactive steroids in human physiology and pathophysiology
Kubátová, Jana ; Hill, Martin (advisor) ; Fanta, Michal (referee)
The present diploma thesis is focused on the evaluation of steroid metabolome in body fluids in human pregnancy and parturition and also concentrates on the estimation of steroids in men with epilepsy (MWE) regarding the influence of epilepsy and its treatment with antiepileptic drugs (AEDs). The results obtained eventuate to the following conclusions: 1. They support the proposition about the key importance of corticoliberin for the timing of human parturition via stimulation of the steroidogenesis in the fetal zone of the fetal adrenal (FZ). Changes in steroid levels, however, much better predict the timing of parturition than the variation in corticoliberin. 2. The distribution of isoforms of placental oxidoreductases determines the excess of oxidized forms of the sex steroids and NAS in the fetus and the excess of their reduced forms in mother. This mechanism fundamentally affects the steroid bioactivity. The results indicate the role of NAS in pregnancy sustaining, their analgesic effect around parturition and their role in the pathophysiology of postpartum blues.
