Diet for children with the celiac disease
JUROSZOVÁ, Michaela
Entitled the "Diet for Children with the Celiac Disease", this Bachelor paper aims to map the quality and quantity aspects of a two-week menu served to children suffering the condition. Thus monitored was primarily the intake of energy, proteins, fats and saccharides, and assessed was also the intake of gluten. The theoretical section explains the term of "gluten" and, describing the relevant symptoms, diagnostics, possible complications and prevention practices, it characterizes the disease, including its different forms. Subsequent chapters of the section treat the subject of gluten-free diet and enlist gluten-free and very-low-gluten-containing foods as opposed to those impermissible. Moreover, the section depicts the situation with food additives and controversial foodstuffs. The practical section of the paper relied on the method of qualitative research. The population being researched consisted of 7 respondents who were asked to record in a special sheet all foods they ate within 14 days. The results were processed using the Nutriservis Professional program and then compared with the recommended daily intake of energy, proteins, fats and saccharides. Attention was also paid to the composition of respondents' diet and the types of foodstuffs that they preferred. Each respondent had his or her overall daily intake of gluten evaluated according to the Database of Gluten-Free Products. The data thus collected have been supplemented with those obtained from a questionnaire filled out by the parents. The questionnaire inquired about the school lunchroom meals and the availability of gluten-free foodstuffs on the market. The research results were tabled together with the intakes of individual nutrients recommended to each respondent. As follows from the results, most children are fed twice the recommended energy intake - only two had the energy intake slightly lower than recommended. Five respondents were found to have also the intake of saccharides two times above what is recommended. Conversely, the intake of fats was observed reduced, in some cases to as much as 50% of the recommended figures. As regards the value of gluten intake recommended as maximum, most of the children have not reached one half of the figure. Concerning the gluten-free products available in stores, all parents perceived the situation as good, but quoted as an unpleasant fact the prevailing unavailability of gluten-free meals at public catering facilities. Only two respondents took their meals regularly and one occasionally at such facilities.

The Use of Pareto Analysis in Streamlining Sales
Pinkava, Vojtěch ; Škrdlík, Miloš (referee) ; Bayerová, Vladimíra (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with the employment of the Pareto principle in increasing the efficiency of the product range in a selected grocery outlet of the Brněnka chain. A methodology for the evalution of the offered product range has been created based on general knowledge and practical usage of the Pareto principle in scientific work. The methodology is applied on sale records of a selected store. The work includes suggestions of product range alteration based on application of the formed methodology.

Unified Software Database for RPM Based Systems
Šilhan, Jan ; Očenášek, Pavel (referee) ; Zelený, Jan (advisor)
V GNU/Linuxovém prostředí je nepřeberné množství možností, jak instalovat aplikace. V dnešní době existuje spousty nástrojů, které mají na starost různé části systému. Linuxové distribuce mají hlavního správce balíčků a populární programovací jazyky mají také vlastního správce balíčků. Všechny tyto nástroje si udržují informace o nainstalovaném softwaru, a proto si každý z nich spravuje vlastní databázi s redundantními metadaty o balíčcích. Záměrem této práce je analyzovat úložné prostory, identifikovat případy užití správců balíčků v distribuci Fedora a následně navrhnout a implementovat jednotnou cen- trální softwarovou databázi na systému.

Metro international's strategy - selected issues
Zakouřilová, Eliška ; Machková, Hana (advisor) ; Štěrbová, Ludmila (referee)
Currently, there is a clear trend of revival of small shops near the customer's home. In this context, formulated by Metro, or Macro new business idea - the concept of small shops / convenience store (ie, smaller stores with food and other basic commodities of daily use). Therefore, it was created and introduced the project Macro Small shops (where the aim is to create a "network of retail stores under the auspices of the macro) to allow the company to effectively compete with chain stores, purchasing alliances and consumer cooperatives.

Suppositories in current therapy I
Kočová, Alena ; Musilová, Marie (advisor) ; Doležal, Pavel (referee)
Suppositories are a conventional dosage form. Although their research is not being developed much further, there are still some changes to be found. Some new adjuvants have been used, the old active substances have been deleted and replaced by new ones. The last survey of rectal preparations was created in 1998. This paper provides an overview of proprietary rectal and vaginal suppositories, which were available on the market in 2010. There is a list of such products, medicinal substances used and their percentage. There are adjuvants and packaging materials, too. We found values of the melting temperature of those suppositories, which were stored under different conditions. These values were correlated to times of deformation of the preparations. On the basis of the evaluated data we recommend monitoring of changes in the melting temperature and the time of deformation of the products DICLOREUM 100 and KETONAL.

Bionomics and physiology of stored product mite Tyrophagus putrescentiae (Acari: Acaridida)
Rybanská, Dagmar ; Ryšánek, Pavel (advisor) ; Vladimír, Vladimír (referee)
The infestation of foodstuffs by mites is connected to health risks and economic losses. Tyrophagus putrescentiae (Schrank, 1781) is a cosmopolitan generalist feeder that prefers foodstuffs of high-fat and high-protein content. The stored product mite T. putrescentiae is an emerging and predominant pest of dry dog food. It is an emerging source of allergens in stored products and homes. The results of this study have important implications for predictive models of stored-product mite populations in dry dog food. High-fat and -protein food accelerated T. putrescentiae population growth compared with the high-carbohydrate diet.
The results increase the medical importance of the mite allergens detected in the feces. The cocktail of allergens, i.e. feces covering chitin, mite allergens and bacterial toxins, represent high risks for the mammalian immune system. The association of the mite with Bacillus cereus is to the medical importance.

Study of the migration of selected metals from beverages packaging
Šťávová, Elena ; Vespalcová, Milena (referee) ; Diviš, Pavel (advisor)
This master’s thesis follows on bachelor’s thesis and deals with study of migration of aluminium and tin from metal containers. Manufactory of metal containers, corrosion of cans, chemical behaviour of aluminium and tin in food, its effects on health and possibilities of the determination in food and characterization of inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) are described in theoretical part. In experimental part 30 different beverages in cans and glass and 6 tomato purees purchased at common stores were analysed. Measured concentrations of aluminium in beverages from cans and from glass containers were compared. It was found that beverages from cans didn’t contain higher concentrations of aluminium than beverages from glass containers. This could be caused by the fact that the aluminium is very stable metal, it has high corrosive endurance and therefore is very suitable for food packaging. Measured concentrations of tin in tomato purees were compared with the maximum permissible level of tin in canned food determined by European legislation. None of them exceed the 200 mg/kg level. All of the measured concentrations were very low, because all of the cans contained protective layer of lacquer, which gives protection against corrosion and also effectively protects from releasing of tin into the can content.
