Nutritional analysis and optimization of breeding of selected species of edible insects under conditions of the Czech Republic with regard to human health
Adámková, Anna ; Kouřimská, Lenka (advisor)
All over the world, the edible insects are considered a highly nutritious food with high protein and fat content. However, the nutritional value of insect is not constant. It can be affected by species, developmental stage, rearing technology or nutrition.
Therefore, this thesis was aimed at obtaining the selected nutritional value of edible insects. Analyses were focused on the determination of the crude protein content, fat content, fatty acid profile and sterols in selected species of edible insects, which can be commonly reared in the Czech Republic. At the same time we also analysed samples of insects reared on the island of Sumatra to evaluate the influence of the climate on the nutritional value. The main aim of the thesis was the determination of optimal breeding conditions, developmental stages and feed rations for obtaining good production of insects with nutritional properties suitable for human nutrition. The analyses showed a high nutritional value of selected insect species, but also confirmed the significant differences in the content of individual nutrients between different species depending on the climate conditions and developmental stage. Comparing the fat and crude protein content in edible insects and other conventional sources of meat it has been found, that the examined insect is similar to beef concerning the fat and crude protein content. The results obtained are the basis for determining the appropriate rearing conditions and developmental stages for obtaining insect with the desired nutritional properties for human nutrition.

Interactive methods of adult education
Krepindlová, Kateřina ; Mužík, Jaroslav (referee) ; Kocianová, Renata (advisor)
Adults can be educated using different methods. A choice of a specific method depends on what an individual needs to learn. This thesis introduces interactive methods of adult education. Compared to other methods of education such as a standard lecture, methods mentioned above are rooted in experiential education and use play and experience to imprint acquired knowledge, abilities and skills in one's memory more deeply. Interactive methods of education are attractive, highly efficient and may act as a trigger to further development of an individual. The thesis presented addresses concepts such as experiential learning, a play as an important phenomenon focused on situation in Czech Republic, and relevance of a play to a child and subsequently to an adult. The thesis focuses on specificity of adult education developing particular play and non-play interactive methods of education in detail to enable a person to develop their potential and constituent social and personal skills.

Volume Visualization of Human Skulls
Hrinčár, Vladimír ; Pelikán, Josef (referee) ; Maršálek, Lukáš (advisor)
Volume visualization is an important tool for exploration and understanding of complex 3D scientiffic data, as those acquired for example by CT scanning. Recent advancements in hardware and software renewal interest in interactive, high-quality volume rendering as it now becomes feasible even on desktop computers. In this work we present new application designed for visualization of CT scans of human skulls. We focus on image quality and add new features for skull comparison and di®erence visualization. Our solution is based on .NET application, which provides user interface(GUI) and external volume renderer as dynamic link library. We have implemented complex renderer for high-quality isosurfaces using algorithms based on interactive ray-marching methods including self shadowing and transparency. We also add support for multiple volumes and introduce new rendering modes for difference visualization. In addition our system uses NVidia CUDA technology, showing how to harness the power of modern GPUs for accelerating this complex task. Our results show that we are able to deliver interactive visualization tool, which can greatly help in areas like anthropological research.

A marketing study of hard alcohol - Absolut vodka
Jelínková, Tereza ; Buriánek, Jiří (referee) ; Vlček, Josef (advisor)
Trh s tvrdým alkoholem je z hlediska marketingu víceméně neměnný. Všechny značky si zakládají na tradici (tzn. od kterého roku jsou produkovány), zemi původu a kvalitě (tzn. počtu destilací). Na tento fakt mě upozornil můj známý a nabídl mi k přečtení knihu, kterou vydala reklamní agentura TBWA, Změňte pravidla byznysu ve svůj prospěch - Metoda Disruption, jejímž autorem je Jean-Marie Dru a kolektiv jeho spolupracovníků. Navedl mě na myšlenku, že existují značky, které tyto osvědčené postupy úmyslně porušují, a získávají si tak také své (samozřejmě specifické) zákazníky. Kniha a metoda, kterou představuje na několika světových značkách, mě zaujala, protože vybočování ze stereotypů a stokrát omílaných pravidel je mi velice blízké. Rozhodla jsem se do této problematiky ponořit hlouběji a vybrat si ji za téma mé bakalářské práce. Navíc je studium marketingu a výzkum spotřebitelského chování na hranici sociologie a ekonomie, mně velice blízkým disciplínám, které se právě zde střetávají v ideální kombinaci. Práce je členěna do tří tématických celků. První pojednává o trhu s alkoholem obecně, převážně z pohledu ekonomie, druhá část se týká marketingu, především marketingového mixu a poslední je výzkumná část, v níž jsem skloubila informace získané od profesionálů z reklamní agentury TBWA a distributorů Absolut...

Importance of work experience gained during university studies for future career
Marenčáková, Markéta ; Krebs, Vojtěch (advisor) ; Kotýnková, Magdalena (referee)
My thesis deals with evaluation of the influence of practice acquired during university studies on future employment of university graduates on the labor market in the Czech Republic. I assume that with increasing volume of degree holders in combination with the current global economic crisis, university graduates entering the labor market need to offer some working experience apart from their degree to be offered a good job. This paper summarizes employers' expectations about graduates in comparison with graduates' opinions on their readiness to enter the labor market. The practical part of the diploma thesis analyzes opinions of university students and graduates on the importance of practice acquired during their studies for future employment. The conclusion reached explains that work experience acquired already during graduate studies improves the position on the labor market after graduation. Practice in or out of the field of studies helps graduates develop not only professional qualifications but also core competencies. Namely poorly developed core competencies are together with lack of work experience cited as the main cause of not accepting fresh graduates to employment.

Work in social integration process of adults with intellectual disability.
SVITÁKOVÁ, Iveta
In my bachelor thesis, I dealt with the use of work activities in the process of social integration of adults with mental disabilities, the aim was to create, implement and evaluate regular work activities intended to a specific group of adults with mental disability and focused primarily on the development of social integration. The thesis is structured into six chapters. The first of them is focused on the definition of mental disability, characteristic of adulthood as an important developmental period in human life, and on adulthood of individuals with mental disabilities with a goal to find and identify the specifics that were needed to be taken into account when working with this target group of people. The following section is devoted to the social integration, its determinants and the environment in which it operates. I continued with the outputs in the third chapter, where I focused on key competencies, which them are the necessary basis for social integration, especially social and personal skills and communication skills, necessary basis. Targeted professional development can be realized through educational activities, but has to respect the specificities of the participants and voluntary participation. Both of these assumptions can be fulfilled within the leisure education using adequate pedagogical methods. For this reason, I decided to focus my attention on these areas at the end of the chapter. The fourth chapter is devoted to work and work activities, namely the definition of concepts, their characteristics and importance and role of work activities in human life, or a person with mental disability. Based on all acquired theoretical knowledge and using previous experience with the target group in the fifth chapter, I designed a specific training program based on the work and activities focused on the development of selected key competences. The educational program volunteered four participants, but I have decided to follow the development of competencies of three participants because one participant attended the program very irregularly. The program has been implemented three times a week, two and a half hours for seven months (from October 2015 to May 2016) in the premises of the training centre Mo-zai-ka. At the beginning of the realisation of the created educational program, the participants agreed that we will adhere and develop good habits necessary for good relations within the group and the results of the work. On a basis of the individual characteristics of the participants, I prepared the work, which should also contribute to the development of social and personal and interpersonal skills. I have continuously monitored and recorded them. During the implementation of the program, I put emphasis on repetition, patient negotiations with participants and creating a friendly atmosphere. After completing the training program, I evaluated the development of competencies in three selected participants. On that basis, I concluded that the biggest change was in the communicative competence. I also experienced a change in social and personal competencies, however, results varied widely among individual participants. Yet, I believe that the goal of the thesis was achieved. These results show that education in leisure time, based on work activities may lead to the development of social and personal and interpersonal skills that are for adults with mental disabilities necessary in the process of social integration. This thesis can be an interesting source of inspiration for the realisation of similar programs aimed at social integration of persons with mental disabilities.

Consumption of fiber in old age
ŠÁLEK, Jan
The theme of this bachelor thesis is the Consumption of fiber in the old age (seniors). Formerly, the dietary fiber was considered unnecessarily burdensome for human organism. Later, it was found that it has a relatively large impact on human health, especially by serving as a prebiotic for symbiotic bacteria inhabiting the gastrointestinal tract. There is still prevailing opinion that roughage divides into a soluble and insoluble, despite that some types of fiber cannot be definitely classified and placed into any of these groups because they have characteristics of both of them. The daily recommended dose is 30 g. The qualitative research was used for elaboration of the practical part. The first goal was to find out how much fiber seniors consume. The second aim was to compare the consumption of fiber among elderly people living alone and the elderly living in retirement homes built for them. The research group, at the first research question, consists of 20 seniors from the Southern Region aged over 65 years. The research group, at the second research question, consists of five retirement homes from the whole Czech Republic. All respondents were given a record sheet for one week, and instructions on how to fill it. Acquired menus were subsequently re-calculated through the program "Nutriservis Professional". The results show higher consumption of fiber than the average in the Czech Republic, but there is still almost a half missing to get the recommended daily dose. There was observed BMI and its impact on the consumption of fiber. No significant effect was found, because overweight had all interviewees except one respondent. The financial limit is visible for evaluated diet of homes for the elderly, therefore, there are no whole grain products, vegetables and almost no fruit. Despite these limitations, the average consumption of fiber is almost equal to elderly people living alone. In conclusion, there is a proposition how to, despite the low funds, increase the intake of roughage, and avoid or, at least, reduce the problems associated with its low consumption. Recommendations for respondents are individual and given under each evaluation.
