Scream and Silence
Štefaňák, Ondřej ; NEBESKÝ, Jan (advisor) ; KORČÁK, Jakub (referee)
The work aims to examine the artistic expressionist tendency, manifested in expressionist drama and theater practice. In the first part, the author focuses on the origin and the direction of its general manifestations in arts and the historical context of expressionism. The author also attempts to highlight the features of expressionism in drama and contemplates the methods of expressionist artists in theater. In the second part, the author reflects his own experience of the production of an early expressionist text ''Spring’s Awakening''. He analyzes the text's dramaturgical potential and creates the basis for the theatrical production. He describes the creation of the staging as an audio-visual and scenic solution, where the particular focus is on the stylization of actors. Finally, the author tries to capture the essence of expressionism in a broader sense, as a peculiar way of expression for the artist.

Report on the Last Work by Dr. Erich Nuding
Rohn, Jiří
This is a facsimile copy of a 1994 report on the unpublished last paper by Dr. Erich Nuding. It is being made public here in the hope that even after twenty-two years it may be of interest for researchers working in the area of interval computations because of the intriguing concept of the "fourth modality" which has not been rediscovered during a quarter of century which has elapsed since its original formulation.

On Usage of Size Segregated Particle Number Concentration to Guess The Origin of PM2.5 at the Rural Background Site Košetice.
Schwarz, Jaroslav ; Cusack, Michael ; Karban, Jindřich ; Chalupníčková, E. ; Havránek, Vladimír ; Smolík, Jiří ; Ždímal, Vladimír
Rural background studies serve mainly to assess the long-range transport influence and long-term trends. However, it is difficult to find a place with no influence of local sources. This is also the case of Košetice observatory having three small settlements within two km from the observatory. Therefore we attempted to analyze if the influence of these or other nearby sources can be seen in our data on PM2.5 chemical composition. Besides other possibilities like specific ratios of various gaseous compounds we concentrated on using size resolved number concentration data because of their dynamics that leads in general into particle growth until they reach accumulation mode. Several similar studies (e.g. Cusack et al. 2013) were performed during recent years.

Paramedic knowledge of first aid overdose legal recreational drugs
VAŇATA, David
In this bachelors thesis topic: Rescue worker knowledge of first aid for overdosed people on legal recreational drugs . I decided to define the theoretical part of a group of substances that come under legal recreational drugs . I also characterised the history and composition of those drugs , their effects on the human body , signs of intoxication and procedure of a rescure worker and application of first aid. The plot of this work, is to point out the knowledge of a rescue worker in providing first aid to patients who used and are suffering from poisoning their body from any legal drug. I am also interested in whether this procedure theory on it, is consistent to the latest knowledge and practices of a rescue workers in their field. In the practical part of my bachelor thesis, I decided to focus on a group of rescue workers of South Bohemia, with whom I have met during my practical training . As my thesis sample , I used a quantitative method that is based on 50 anonymously answered question forms . I have not specified my hypotheses. I expect this work to be help for current and future rescue workers in their studies , and also, I hope in deeper acknowledgement, improvement of working procedure, and especially, bigger attention to the substances that are tolerated by our society, although very dangerous.

Bystander effect from paramedic point of view
TOMAN, Antonín
This bachelor thesis named "bystander effect from paramedic point of view" is focused on professional rescue workers view on the presence of bystanders by an individual, occurring in an emergent situation. Similarly, this work takes into consideration the problems of influence that bystanders have on the professional activities of paramedics. Onlookers watching the accident are an integral part of the daily activities by rescue workers, equally as bystander effect individuals. The work is divided into theoretical and practical part. The first chapter of the theoretical part deals with the history of emergency medical services and its function, medical operations centre of first aid function and legislation, the second chapter introduces the problems of communication in the pre-hospital emergency care, along with issues relating to stressful situations in the pre-hospital emergency care. The third chapter deals with the issue of prosocial behaviour. It discusses the factors that affect the ability to provide first aid, and it also deals with the problems of prosocial behaviour by individuals and dilemmas, which according to the literature affect each individual, who occurs in the situation when he must provide help to someone else. i also discuss norms of social behaviour. Chapter also takes into account the problems of social boundaries that lead individual behaviour to the benefit of society. a different view of single individuals on social norms is also taken into consideration. In the fourth chapter of the theoretical there is provided a comprehensive insight into the psychological phenomenon, that was first described in the USA. Dispersal of responsibility is a basic prerequisite for the origin of bystander effect. Dispersal of responsibility arises from the large number of individuals at one place, among which is the responsibility equally divided and does not lie to anyone truly full weight of responsibility for the situation. Another aspect is pluralistic ignorance, which arises from the assumption, that people do, that nothing is happening and act absently. An integral part of the bystander effect is an inhibitory influence of audiences, when is the individual, thinking about the help, paralyzed by the presence of bystanding witnesses. i also discuss personality factors and the willingness of individuals to help. The aim is to map the experience of paramedics, whose work is during intervention influenced by dilettante bystanders, and map the awareness of paramedics on bystander effect. There were selected two research questions. The first one determines whether bystanders lay persons affect paramedic work and the second one examines what kind of information about bystander effect paramedics have. To achieve these objectives, the practical part uses a qualitative research strategy. Data collection was accomplished using a semi-structured interview. The interview was compiled from pre-prepared questions focused on the impact of bystanders dilettantes in the work of medical paramedics and also on awareness about the bystander effect. The sample consisted of 8 paramedics with at least five years of experience in the medical rescue service. Data recording was realized using audio recordings, while transcription evidence was subsequently obtained. Evaluation of the data was carried out in the form of content analysis of transcribed interviews. Except the issue of bystander effect there was also discussed real case interpretation of this problem. The research showed that lay bystanders affect the work of paramedics. It was also found out, that rescuers do not have general awareness of the bystander effect. Results and personal statements of the respondents in the research generally agree with the opinions released by the literature. After any adjustment this bachelor thesis it could be used as educational material.

The occurrence of domestic and wild forms of the camels in the old world and their economic use
Burgerová, Michaela ; Gardiánová, Ivana (advisor) ; Jan, Jan (referee)
Genus camel (Camelus) includes two species, the Dromedary camel (Camelus dromedarius) and Bactrian camel (Camelus bactrianus). Camels have a wide range of utilization. People in Arabia countries but also in India and Egypt are using camels as a milk and meat animal, or even as a transport and companion animals and riding animals too. The aim of this thesis was to find sources about camel keeping and using and his role of farm animal in different cultures and countries. And about conditions and requirements in captivity. The first part of thesis contains information about phylogeny and origin of the camel family, taxonomy of camels, short information about the history of domestication and using of camels. There are also described the two species in terms of species biology etc. plus a brief mention of camel hybrids and camel breeds. The second part focuses on the use of camels. The preffered and most common use is in the production of milk, other dairy products from camel milk, fermentation of milk. Another use is for meat performance, meat composition, describes products. His utilization i also useful for other parts such as hair wool and mane, they come mainly from bactrian camel (Camelus bactrianus). The last is working utilization of camels, carrying baggage. Then hobby use. The thesis describes the conditions of keeping camels in captivity, keeping camels in Somalia, requirements for the supply of water and food, housing conditions in the Czech Republic, it is particularly widespread keeping camels in zoos. In Czech Republic they are small private camel breeders. For comparison they are conditions for keeping camels in captivity in Australia.

Determination of content substances for selected species and varieties of roses.
Slavíková, Eva ; Sus, Josef (advisor) ; Súkeníková, Tereza (referee)
This bachelor's work is focused on comparing the most significant content substance, vitamin C, in fruits of chosen rose kinds species and varieties. Herbal products are often seen by people as products of "second choice", when failure of allopathic treatment occurs, which is focused especially on suppressing symptoms of illness, but it ignores health of the human body as whole. That's why are herbal products often alternative for therapy of chronic diseases. The base of this work is extensive literary research and results of laboratory measurings. Literary part of this work includes description of botanical classification of rose plants. There is stated basic characteristic of individual rose species and their morphological features. In following chapters is composed overview of effective substances in rose fruits and their effect on human health. In practical part of this work are included results of laboratory tests for determining ascorbic acid content for chosen samples of rose species and it also includes results of weighing and measuring of fruit samples of chosen rose species. There are also stated chosen rose species and shortly their origin and description, in the beginning of practical part. For practical part were chosen samples of species. Results of practical part are compiled into statistic tables and graphs and it confirms high content of ascorbic acid in rose fruits. This content is in range of cca 300 - 900 mg.100 g-1. Due to growing interest in alternative treatment options and "clean" natural product, it can be assumed, that many plants of Rosaceae family will keep its place in treatment practice. Those plants will be used not only for treatment of acute and chronic diseases, but also for cosmetic products production, thanks to its large effects and process options.

Microbiota of the digestive tract of bees and related insect and the influencing facftors
Hroncová, Zuzana ; Havlík, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Kalous, Lukáš (referee)
This thesis consists of six research chapters, out of which, five have already been published in research journals, 1 is in the process of submission and the last chapter presents original unpublished confidential data in the process of manuscript preparation. The research presented in this thesis concerns the complex mechanisms of bees and wasps immune system focused on microbiota as component of immunity. As shown in the introduction, highly social and managed species of bees like honey bees and bumble bees, play key roles in natural and agricultural ecosystems worldwide. Recent losses of bees have been attributed to pesticide exposure, poor nutrition, increased parasite loads and habitat degradation. Over the past several years, governments, beekeepers, and the general public worldwide have become concerned by increased losses of honey bee colonies, calling for more research on how to keep colonies healthy. Our main aim was to explore the complex mechanisms of bees and related species gut bacterial populations, their links to insect immunity and investigate the opportunities for an intervention. Part of our aim was to characterise the bumble bee and wasp gut microbiota using 16S RNA sequencing in a search for potentially novel bacterial species. We have tried to explain how microbiome interacts with the host and showed that major members of these communities appear to benefit the host. The simple gut communities of social bees present ideal model systems to investigate the underlying evolutionary and genetic processes of such interactions. Information based on our results may help in the design of proper probiotic supplementation strategies with respect to physiological conditions in the honey bee gut.

Influence of meadow management on the migration behavior of selected species of butterflies
Bubová, Terezie ; Langrová, Iva (advisor) ; Farkač, Jan (referee)
Migrations are the key process and one of the basic biological features, which allow survival of endangered species in fragmented landscape. In the last decades, agriculture intensification, industry and urbanization caused that number of natural butterfly habitats has significantly decreased. The localities originally suitable for butterflies are currnetly converted to farmland or building plots. This PhD thesis aimed to find a compromise solution of meadow management, which should allow a commercial use and concurrently do not jeopardize the continued existence of endangered or threatened species. The main idea of this study was in the intentional emigration causing in the middle of flight period, which should lead into resettlement of the population to another (potentially more suitable) locality. Possibility of aimed manipulation with butterfly emigrations would be considered as a major breakthrough in their protection. The investigated species Phengaris nausithous (Bergsträsser, 1779) and Phengaris teleius (Bergsträsser, 1779) are both considered to be flagship species for protection of European butterflies at open meadows. This study is based on research, which was carried out in 2013-2015 at 17 patch in localities Dolní Labe, Czech Republic. In above mentioned years, one selected meadow was mowed in the middle of flight season and the emigrations were then monitored using mark-release-recapture method. Results of population and migration characteristics were calculated in MARK 8.1 software. Subsequently, the effect of mowing on emigration (comparison of emigrations from the meadow before and after mowing) was evaluated using Statistica 13. The hypotheses of this study were based on the assumption, that the loss of resources after well-timed mowing should increase the activity of adult butterflies. During the monitoring, number of emigrations was increased only in flight season 2015. Unfortunately, the statistical evaluation did not show significant effect of mowing on migrations. On the other hand, the hypothesis dealing with colonization of nearest meadows was confirmed. Effect of intentional emigration caused by management interventions was unfortunately not proved. However, we found out, that even though the population at one mowed meadow decreased clearly, the metapopulation size at the locality remained more or less stable. At investigated (mowed) meadow, there was observed a sharp decline of P. nausithous abundance. On the other hand, P. teleius population was only slightly reduced. It is therefore conceivable, that P. teleius are not as susceptible to innapropriate term of mowing. The results obtained in our research conclusively displayed no possible positive effect of mowing in the middle of flight season and a necessity of suitable management maintenance at localities inhabited by Phengaris butterflies.
