Job opportunities for the people with vision disabilities
Jelínková, Kateřina ; Povolná, Pavla (advisor) ; Mertl, Jiří (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with the issue of "Employment opportunities for the people with vision disabilities", which is examined theoretically and with the help of empirical research. The main goal of the work is make analysis of work opportunities and possibilities on the protected labor market and to define the factors that have a positive effect on obtaining contact with a potential employer and thus on the potential obtaining and maintenance of employment for people with vision disabilities in the Czech Republic. The work is based on theoretical starting points in the social field of employment of people with vision disabilities according to Bubeníková (2014) or according to O'Reilly (2018), and also on the social health field focused on the description of people with vision disabilities and the blind according to Ludíková (2005) and Novosada (2011) and also from the field of healthcare, specifically ophthalmology. I see this topic as important for improving the integration of disabled people into the labor process of the Czech Republic and improving job offers on the labor market. The other aim of the thesis is to map job opportunities for people with vision disabilities and define the factors that have a positive effect on getting in touch with a potential employer and thus also on offering a...

The implementation of physical education for pupils with visual impairment in mainstream primary school education.
CHYNOVÁ, Lucie
The bachelor's thesis deals with the implementation of physical education for visually impaired pupils in mainstream primary schools. The work is divided into a theoretical part and a practical part. In the theoretical part, the reader will learn what visual impairment means and how visual impairment can be compensated by hearing, smell, touch and taste. They will also learn about the development of a visually impaired child, whether it is the development of cognitive functions, movement or social development. The theoretical part is divided into 2 basic parts, where the second part is the system of education of visually impaired students. The practical part is focused on 3 visually impaired pupils who attend mainstream primary school. A semi-standardized interview was conducted with these pupils, their parents and teachers. There is also a description of a physical education class, which was part of the research of this work.

Work rehabilitation and employment oportunities of people with visual impairment
KÁCOVÁ, Kateřina
The topic of this thesis is work rehabilitation and employment opportunities of people with visual impairment. The goal of this thesis is to map opportunities of people with vision disability and map what institutions help such people to get a job. Another goal is to describe how do these institutions cooperate between themselves and how do they achieve the work rehabilitation. The theoretical part describes basic terms such as: anatomy and physiology of vision, vision functions, most common vision disabilities and their classification. Furthermore, this part describes how does a vision disability impact one's personality development, differences between the impact from congenital and gained disability and acceptance of vision disability. The theoretical part also briefly describes social services for people with visual impairment and their education. The last part of the theoretical part is devoted to employment of people with visual impairment, describes barriers on the job market for people with visual impairment, national and international legislation for employing people with disabilities, tools and measures supporting employment of people with visual impairment and last but not least, this part describes factors of coordinated rehabilitation with special focus on the work rehabilitation factor. Empirical part is focused on research and getting an answers to the defined research questions: 1. What are work opportunities for people with visual impairment? 2. What are the most common barriers on the job market for people with visual impairment? 3. How does the work rehabilitation take place in institutions which provide it? Qualitative strategy was chosen for the research, semi-structured interview was chosen as the method for collecting data. A research group was selected using method of intentional selection using institutions, formed by four informants - three women and one man, in the age of 25 to 47 years. Elements of a method of grounded theory with technique of open coding were selected for data analysis. The research suggests that people with visual impairment run into many barriers on the job market, despite many supportive measures, which make it difficult to find a meaningful job. Thanks to the service of work rehabilitation and easily reachable suitable requalification courses, people with vision disability have much higher chance to be successful on the job market and find a job in a field which they find enjoyable and fulfilling.

Evolution of visual sensory system in the common barbel (Barbus barbus)
Konvičková, Zuzana ; Musilová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Pergner, Jiří (referee)
Vertebrates inherited five visual opsin classes from their common ancestor expressed in the rod and cone cells. While many vertebrate groups reduced the number of visual pigments they possess, opsins of teleost fishes have diversified. Today, teleosts outstand among all vertebrates in the number of visual pigments and photoreceptor types. This extraordinary development was also facilitated by the teleost- specific whole genome duplication that occurred approximately 350 Mya. Here I explored teleost species that recently underwent subsequent whole genome duplication - the common barbel (Barbus barbus). This event was accompanied by hybridization (i.e., it was allopolyploidization) and resulted in 14 opsin genes found in the genome, an unusually high number even among teleosts. In this thesis, I studied the effects of such an expanded opsin repertoire on the visual abilities of the common barbel. Based on the whole genome, I have completed the reference sequences of all opsin genes and revealed their positions on the chromosomes. I analysed retinal transcriptomes and constructed developmental series of opsin expression profiles. All opsin genes were preserved functional in the genome, even though one of them (green-sensitive, named RH2-4 in this thesis) was not found in the transcriptome and showed...

Design of Excimer Laser for Ophthalmology
Monsportová, Kateřina ; John, David (referee) ; Rubínová, Dana (advisor)
The theme of this master thesis is a design of excimer laser for ophthalmology. The main goal is to depict a medical device with innovative appearance with a special emphasis on the ergonomics of the surgeon's and optometrist's work environment with a regard to the elimination of negative impressions on the patient as a result of the surgery and the creation of a comfortable and suitably shaped bed. The thesis is based on an analysis of the current market and a questionnaire survey. The final product finds its application in specialized eye clinics and in hospital ophthalmology departments.

The role of ultraviolet light in communication of birds
Šulc, Michal ; Sedláček, Ondřej (advisor) ; Albrecht, Tomáš (referee)
Recently, it has been found that the visual system of birds and humans differ remarkably, especially in the ability to perceive ultraviolet radiation. This component of the spectrum significantly affects various types of the birds' behaviour. UV reflection may be an indicator of the qualities of males, i.e. females often prefer individuals with expressive UV ornamentation. Likewise, parents can distribute the delivered food unevenly among their nestlings, depending on the nestlings' reflection of ultraviolet radiation. Recent studies also showed that the hosts of brood parasites may use UV spectrum as a key for recognizing the parasitic eggs from their own. The aim of my bachelor thesis is to review the current knowledge of the influence of UV radiation on sexual selection of birds, the interaction between parents and offspring and interactions between brood parasites and their hosts.

Integration of children with visual impairments in physical education classes
Koudelková, Adéla ; Prokešová, Eva (advisor) ; Vařeková, Jitka (referee)
Title: Integration of children with visual impairments in physical education classes Objectives: The main goal is insight into the integration of visually impaired pupils in physical education classes in regular primary school classroom. I find out how the student with visual impairments feel during PE lessons and how you think it is perceived by those around? The operational objective of the research is to find out how a particular case of a child with visual impairments successful integration into regular primary schools, both participated in it and how it influenced the person concerned. Also, I want to find out the extent to which such integration becomes difficult for people who are involved in it. Methods: Combining interview techniques, long-term observation and analysis of pedagogical documentation in the case study student. Results: The pupil with visual impairment has been successfully adapted in the process of integration in physical education regular primary school. This is evidenced by the positive results and improvement of the integrated pupil. However, the results point to the problem of integration in the 1st degree, due to the lack of competence of teachers. The problem appears to be inconsistent approach to the child and thus also the integration of the people involved. The...

Function of Zinc finger protein 644 (Zfp644) in mouse organism.
Szczerkowska, Katarzyna Izabela ; Sedláček, Radislav (advisor) ; Komrsková, Kateřina (referee) ; Blahoš, Jaroslav (referee)
ZNF644 (Zinc Finger Protein 644) is a C2H2 zinc finger gene encoding a putative transcription regulator, of which a point mutation (S672G) is associated with inherited high myopia in humans. It is also described to be a partner of the G9a/GLP (G9a- euchromatic histone- lysine N-methyltransferase 2, EHMT2; GLP - euchromatic histone-lysine N-methyltransferase 1, EHMT1) complex, known for its essential role in histone methylation, specifically H3K9me1and H3K9me2. It was reported that another transcription factor, WIZ (Widely-Interspaced Zinc Finger-Containing Protein), can bind to this complex and cooperate in gene silencing simultaneously. In order to study Zfp644 impact on myopia, we generated a mouse model, Zfp644S673G that mimics human mutation. In addition, a mouse with a persuasive truncated form of the protein, Zfp644Δ8 was created. Both mouse models went through an examination of retinal function and morphology. Moreover, with use of ultrasonography, different ocular parameters were examined. We conclude, that Zfp644 gene is causative for myopia in mice. Further examinations of Zfp644Δ8 animals show severe symptoms in metabolism and female fertility. To describe the impact of Zfp644 in mouse fertility we performed various experiments including analysis of expression of Zfp644 in reproductive...
