Possibilities of physiotherapy in movement disorders violinists
SIEGERTOVÁ, Tereza
Motion disorders of violinists are mainly due to long-term repetitive asymmetric stress while playing the violin at inappropriate motion stereotypes. Also sometimes with the lack of preparation of the body for the performance and a lack of compensatory activities. Playing the violin is challenging for fine motion skills and body posture. Motion disorders are therefore evident in the area of the shoulder girdle and free upper limb, collarbone and neck spin. Disorders can pass through the muscle loops and chains to other parts of the axial organ and the whole organism. The pain occurs as a result of overloading tendons, hypertonia and hypermobility. The first aim of this paper is to determine the principles of the motion disorders of players in the terms of anatomy and kinesiology. The second objective is realization of individual and targeted physiotherapy plan based on the kinesiology examination. Furthermore to determine the possibilities of preventing such disorders. In the theoretical part the basic informations about kinesiology and anatomy of the shoulder girdle and spine are given. The paper is also focused on describing violinists postures, creating stereotypes and subsequent automatism. In treatment the physical therapy, rest and medications are often used. But this is not a permanent solution. Because after treatment the patient returns to the original stereotype motion, which caused the difficulties. Therefore it is necessary to change the stereotype of motions, to find sufficient compensation activities and especially to master the elements of prevention. For this work the qualitative research was used, with two violinists as a study group. As a data collection method were used guided interviews and input and output kinesiology analysis with detection of motion stereotypes of shoulder girdle on electromyography. Therapy of violinists took nine weeks with each and was realized at the Centre for Physiotherapy at the Faculty of Health and Social Studies University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice. The proposed treatment includes treatment of detected reflex changes such as hypertonia, the trigger points, but also the attitudes of selected concepts to change of the motion stereotypes or activation of the deep stabilization system.

Departure from Faith and Return to the Church
PAULÍKOVÁ, Zuzana
The work investigates the education in family, the departure from faith and return to the Church and faith. It is a research work. The first part deals with the preparation for a qualitative dialogue and for the choice of appropriate respondents. It describes the process of respondents collection, the process of dialogue and their recording. The case analysis occupies with the respondents´ characteristics. The second part of the work is interested in the analysis of the dialogue, the comparative analysis and therefore the dialogue evaluation. We get to know how the respondents were guided and lead to faith in their families, when and why they departed from faith, what events and moments in their lives had a bearing on their faith experience, when they returned to the Church, what people influenced their religion development and how they live in Church now. We find out that particular spheres are dependent one on another. It is very important how strong is the faith basis, how deep you sowed the faith and how you kept the seed. We can also see a diference in feeling the faith at each respondent since people are different. The human personality is very important as well as your opening to the Grace of God. The role of people we meet is very important, too. We are influenced by them. It is a kind of a call not only for people in pastoral work but also for believers themselves so that they can try to help and be here for others.

Futenma - a challenge for the U.S.-Japanese alliance
Kraus, Lukáš ; Karásek, Tomáš (advisor) ; Kolmaš, Michal (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to analyze the crisis of two important allies, Japan and the US, which began in relation to the negotiation during the rule of the Prime Minister Hatoyama about the relocation of the controversial Marine Corps Air Station Futenma, which is located on the Okinawa Island. This thesis firstly reconstructs the historical context of the U.S.-Japan alliance and the role of the bases in it. The importance of the peace movement, which is still a vocal player of the Okinawa events today, is also mentioned. Then this paper examines the feature of the bases, especially of the Futenma Air Station. Another key part of the paper is made by description of the processes, which targeted reducing of the burden of Okinawa people, caused by the presence of the bases on Japanese ground. The Futenma became the main symbolof these negotiations. In it main part, based on the level of analysis concept, this thesis provides the analysis of the negotiations of the three actors of the 2009-2010 crisis - the Prime Minister Hatoyama and his cabinet, who came out of the elections with the programme of changing the government system (seiken kōtai) and the revision of the former Futenma Henoko relocation plan; the Obama administration, which persisted on the Henoko plan; and the people of Okinawa, who are...

Popel, Martin ; Bojar, Ondřej (referee) ; Žabokrtský, Zdeněk (advisor)
This thesis describes English-Czech Machine Translation as it is implemented in TectoMT system. The transfer uses deep-syntactic dependency (tectogrammatical) trees and exploits the annotation scheme of Prague Dependency Treebank. The primary goal of the thesis is to improve the translation quality using both rule-base and statistical methods. First, we present a manual annotation of translation errors in 250 sentences and subsequent identi cation of frequent errors, their types and sources. The main part of the thesis describes the design and implementation of modi cations in the three transfer phases: analysis, transfer and synthesis. The most prominent modi cation is a novel approach to the transfer phase based on Hidden Markov Tree Models (a tree modi cation of Hidden Markov Models). The improvements are evaluated in terms of BLEU and NIST scores.

The effect of extreme physical exertion on the percentage of dendritic cell subpopulations in professional athletes as correlated with change in adrenaline levels
Fischerová, Barbara ; Kolář, Pavel (advisor) ; Radvanský, Jiří (referee)
The main goal of this tesis is to describe changes in representation of various subpopulations dendritic cells (myelogenic and plasmocytoigenic) in peripheral blood after intense physical stress and to review their activation status. Early count changes and changes of function of basic elements of cellular immunity after a sport load was described, whereas a behaviour of circulating dendritic cells hasn't been studied yet. The amount and the stage of differentation of dendritic cells was specified by analysis of blood samples taken before and after the load. According to the result of the tesis the reaction to extreme physical load had two effects. The amount of dendritic cells was increased, whilst the expression of kostimulative molecules (their activation) was decreased. Described changes support an opinion, that physical load initates reaction to a danger of body damage. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

The Dissolution of Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia - A Comparative Case Study
Kaplan, Petr ; Ditrych, Ondřej (advisor) ; Karlas, Jan (referee)
The thesis compares two different modes of state disintegration of post-communist federations. Yugoslavia is an example of a violent breakup, Czechoslovakia stands for a peaceful way, how to split a state. Using the Level of Analysis concept the study looks for differences at five levels focusing mainly on the change caused by the process of democratic transition in both states that removed the old regime and brought a competitive atmosphere among the old and new elites representing various ethnic groups. The outcome of the analysis is that the role of the army, the length of the liberalization process and the different historical experience are factors that matter most.

Application of Separation Techniques Connected with Mass Spectrometry for the Analysis of Environmentally Important Compounds
Mácová, Daniela ; Čelechovská, Olga (referee) ; Márová, Ivana (referee) ; Demnerová, Kateřina (referee) ; Čáslavský, Josef (advisor)
The identification of the hydrolysis and photodegradation products of flexible polyurethane foams (PUFs) with addition of biooriginated and biodegradable additive was the first topic of this dissertation work. Separation of polyurethane foam hydrolysis degradation products, designed for ecotoxicological tests, was managed by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS). The degradations product structure was elucidated by tandem mass spectrometry (MSn). PUF photodegradation products were obtained by exposure of materials by irradiation at 254 nm. Semi-volatile degradation products were isolated from the exposed polyurethane by n-hexane extraction; volatile compounds were collected by solid phase microextraction (SPME). Gas chromatography with mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and complete orthogonal tandem gas chromatography with mass spectrometry (GCxGC/TOF MS) was used for separation and identification of photodegradation products. The influence of the bio-filler on the character of degradation products and the possible effect of PUF degradation products on the environment was discussed at the end of this section. The determination of isoprostanes – markers of oxidative stress in tissues of beadlet anemone (Actinia equina) was the subject of the second topic. F2-isoprostanes were synthesized from the arachidonic acid. With thereby prepared isoprostanes the method of determination by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS/MS) was developed and optimized. The isoprostane isolation process from the Actinia equina tissues was optimized with solid phase extraction (SPE). The resulting methodology was used to quantify isoprostanes in tissues of anemones, which were exposed to both moderate and high temperature changes. The temperature changes were used to initiate the oxidative stress in organisms. In addition, concentration levels of unknown compounds were also monitored. These unknown compounds were extracted from tissues together with F2-isoprostanes and their identity is discussed in this dissertation work too. The possibility of using isoprostane levels in the Anthozoa tissues for the oxidative stress monitoring is discussed in the conclusion of this work.

Colluvial soils - their characteristics and spatial delineation at chosen study areas in the Czech republic
Zádorová, Tereza ; Šefrna, Luděk (advisor) ; Borůvka, Luboš (referee) ; Sobocká, Jaroslava (referee)
Colluvial soils, formed in areas of increased accumulation of soil material, represent an important element in landscape and soil mosaic, whose development is still in progress. Their spatial distribution and profile thickess are considered to be important indicators of processes leading to significant landscape changes. Their importance also consists in very deep humus horizon which makes them a vast storage of organic carbon. Mapping of colluvial soils represents a substantial contribution in the update process of classic soil maps. The aim of the thesis is a complex analysis of the colluvial soil unit in terms of its relation to soil properties, terrain and geological predispositions and relevance in soil mapping. The study results are based mainly on detailed terrain survey, digital terrian model analysis and modern pedometric methods application. The research was proceeded in three study areas with significant pedological and geological differences and various predisposiotion for colluviation intensity and velocity and resulting character of colluvial profiles. Diverse character of the study areas was the main factor of the spatial distribution and properties of the colluvial soils. In Chernozem region, intensive erosion resulted in formation of colluvial soils characterized by thick humus...

The impact of distributed generation on 110 kV distribution system E.ON
Hajdú, Lukáš ; Vaculík, Petr (referee) ; Orságová, Jaroslava (advisor)
This Master´s thesis deals with problematics related to the connection of new decentralized power sources into electrical power grid. Due to advantageous legislative support of these new, especially photovoltaic power sources, a massive amount of these sources have been connected into the power grid between years 2009 and 2010. For theoretical understanding of processes during a steady-state, the initial parts of this paper are focused on a procedure which solves steady-state on every power line mentioned. When we speak of decentralized power sources connection, it is necessary to mention the connected legislative. National distribution grid operators in collaboration with national regulatory commission have decided on a legislative document Rules of distribution grid operation, which puts a set of demands and requirements on applicants wishing to connect a new power source to the grid. The text of this thesis is focused mainly on demands required after the latest change in 1/2010. Practical part of this work deals with verification of new power source influence on a related power grid and meeting the legislatively required demands. The most important demands are voltage change due to new power source operation and its transfer to other voltage levels, higher harmonics injection, power output fluctuation and last, not least, changes in load flow directions. For reasons previously mentioned an analysis is made and possibilities of reducing or removing of these influences are introduced. To achieve these goals, two computer programs, Siemens Sinaut Spectrum and NetCalc are used.
