Description of state behavior along the critical isotherm and along the saturation curve using simple equations of state. Part II
Bayer, Zdeněk
The contribution deals with a group of 13 equations of state (EOS), predominantly of the van der Waals type, both classical and also newly developed in the IT AS ČR. In the region from the triple- to the critical points, the changes in the temperature functions (1st criterion), deviations of the derivate from the correct value, (2nd criterion), and the course of the liquid spinodal are investigated. Ordinary water substance is used as the model medium. The data and/or equations following from the critical point and saturation curve conditions are given. The calculations showed that considerable improvements may be arrived at separately applied criteria but at their simultaneous application the improvement has been not gained.

Nominal derivative suffixes in Slavic and Latin
Pernicová, Jana ; Rejzek, Jiří (advisor) ; Voleková, Kateřina (referee)
The present thesis treats one of the word-formative processes, derivation, in two Indo-European languages, Latin and Slavic. It focuses on the description and comparison of nominal (substantive) derivative suffixes and whole word-formative types that in these languages correspond to each other. The main focus of the thesis is to make a classification of these parallels from a functional point of view and to describe particular word-formative types from a scope of the onomasiologic categories. Since Latin and Slavic do not display similar parallels regarding other language levels, the considerable similarity of the derivative suffixes (and whole word-formative types) is a noticable phenomenon. One of its possible explanations is the fact that both languages have retained the original Indo-European word structure. Therefore this thesis uses as a base the Latin language as the older one which is thus formally and functionally more likely closer to the original (Indo-European) forms than Slavic, and traces particular suffixes (word-formative types) throughout their developement and attempts to reveal their formal and semantic shifts.

Pick´s disease and the specifics of the nursing care of a patient with this disease
KOPKAŠOVÁ, Lenka
Pick's disease is a degenerative-atrophic process that primarily affects the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain. Besides Alzheimer's disease, it is a lesser known form of dementia which affects people of younger age. Although the exact range of Pick's disease occurrence varies in the literature, the average reported age is between 50-60 years. The disease can change eating habits, cause emotional swings, inappropriate behaviour and sloppy appearance of the patients. The behaviour to others is often selfish, the patients are unable to listen to others and ignore their surroundings. Pick's disease is also characterized by inappropriate sexual behaviour. Globally, the number of dementia patients is still growing and according to expert guesses the increase will continue. Nursing care for patients with dementia is therefore becoming a very actual topic as dementia is called a quiet epidemic of our century. Nurses in their departments quite frequently encounter patients suffering from dementia of various origins at different stages of disability and the staff at healthcare facilities often regard these people as a burden. The aim of this thesis, which is called Pick's Disease and Specifics of Nursing Care for Patients with this Disease, is, based on the theoretical knowledge, to map definitions and diagnosis of Pick's disease, to define the needs of such a patient, and to list the most common problems in the nursing care. It focuses on people with dementia within medical facilities. For proper understanding of the problem, the thesis starts with the anatomy and physiology of the brain and the description of cognitive functions which are affected by the dementia syndrome and the definition of dementia. Based on the studied literature, dementia is divided according to various criteria. It has been found out that dividing dementia is not entirely uniform, but the essential facts and overall opinions of the authors do not diverge. Pick's disease belongs to a group of frontotemporal dementia and its position in this group has changed over time, as it is recorded in the literature. The thesis includes recommendations resulting from the studied literature in the approach to patients with dementia and emphasizes personal communication with the patients and empathetic and humane approach. Although medicine cannot prevent dementia, an early diagnosis of a specific type of dementia and correctly targeted treatment can increase the quality of life not only of the patients but also of their families. I have chosen this topic because I find it very current and interesting. During my nursing practice at the Surgery Department and Aftercare Department, I have met patients suffering from dementia and I did not know how to properly and efficiently communicate with them. For the theoretical part of my work, the methods of explanation, synthesis and induction on the basis of Czech and foreign information sources have been used. The most frequently quoted Czech authors in my thesis are doc. MD. Roman Jirák, PhD., the head of the center for diagnosis and therapy of Alzheimer's disease at the psychiatric clinic of the General University Hospital in Prague, the 1st Medical Faculty of Charles University. This thesis can serve as an informational and educational source both for nurses and the general public who may experience the disease within their families. It would be considered a great success if it helped nurses or family members to diagnose Pick's disease or other dementia at an early stage.

Impact of horizontal and vertical pattern of habitats on birds diversity
Schovánková, Hana ; Šímová, Petra (advisor) ; Moudrý, Vítězslav (referee)
This diploma thesis follows up the influence of horizontal and vertical structure of biotopes on biodiversity of bird species of Czech Republic of forest and open sites. Vertical structure model was created from digital model of surface of Czech Republic (1st generation) and digital model of relief of Czech Republic (5th generation). Information about horizontal structure were derived by analyzing aerial imagery. Then single variables were detected from these data. Subsequently, it was analyzed which of these variables and which way influence bird diversity. On both types of sites was found increasing bird diversity with increasing diversity of vertical structure. With increasing horizontal structure, however, bird diversity significantly increased only on open sites. The influence of other characteristics was mostly different on bird diversity of open and forest sites, but, for both types of sites, the positive influence had for example edge density of land cover categories or edge density of height categories. Additional part of this thesis was to explore if vertical characteristics of biotopes could influence prediction of selected bird species. Results was different in forest and open biotopes, nevertheless in both types of sites was found potential use of both horizontal and vertical variables.

Appaloosa breeding and their utilization
Zuzjaková, Eva ; Neumann, Cyril (advisor) ; Starostová, Lucie (referee)
This bachelor thesis is a summary of the basic information about breeding and utilization of appaloosa. A dominant characteristic of appaloosa is an attractive color coat pattern, which is caused through a set of genes called Leopard Complex (Lp). That is the reason, why in this thesis, at first, the history of presence of the Lp in genus Equus takes place. The presence of Lp can be found already in many cave paintings of prehistoric horses. During domestication, the coat pattern became important. The horses of the same color coat pattern, which have today appaloosa, are depicted in the Celts, Scythians and Etruscans tombs, as well as in murals of Chinese and Egyptian cultures. Significant breeding of the spotted horses are also documented in the Ferghana Valley in eastern Uzbekistan. In Europe at 16th century horses were expanded and a lot of them have spotted coat pattern. Then the Spanish settlers imported these horses to the America, where Nez Perce Indian tribe bred horses, which we know today as Appaloosa.
Furthermore, in this thesis the Appaloosa breed organization, which belongs complete to Appaloosa Horse club of America, is described. The breeding standard and characteristics, which are color coat pattern, mottled skin, visible white sclera and striped hooves are inducted. Seven various types of coat pattern and tree types of registration are also described.
The major problems in the appaloosa breed are inherited diseases. In this thesis the most serious five of them are identified. It is CSNB, congenital stationary night blindnes associated with a homozygous variant of LP gene. HYPP, hyperkalaemic periodic paralysis, which causes muscle spasm of affected horses. This disease was obtained from quarter horses. HERDA - Hereditary Equine Regional Dermal Asthenia which causes irreversible damage to exposed skin. Another serious disease is PSSM, polysaccharide storage myopathy, which is one of many myopathy occuring in horses. The latter disease is lethal GBED. Affected foals lack the enzyme GBE which is necessary for the synthesis and storage of glycogen. In spite of the improving precautions, these diseases have not been fully eliminated from breeding.
Further, there are given the possibilities of using Appaloosa horses in sports, hobby and ranch works. The system of shows and their ratings is described as well.

Casualty reinsurance exposure rating
Těšínská, Anna ; Zimmermann, Pavel (advisor) ; Hrevuš, Jan (referee)
The main aim of this thesis is a development of ILF curves that can be used in the insurance industry when pricing general third party liability on the Czech market. Based on available data there are first estimated size of loss distribution functions used for following generating process. From generated data the increased limit factors are estimated and with a usage of Riebesell's parameterization ILF curves are derived. A substantial part of the thesis is a compilation of literature and the expansion of the statistical approach for estimating fair ILFs based on these data. Besides, the basis for the curves derivation are chapters describing basic theoretical knowledge in the field of reinsurance - in particular, the description of the basic types of reinsurance contracts, as well as the most common methods of a pricing. There is the whole mechanism of curves derivation described; their own use is then demonstrated with the example based on pseudoreal data.

Title of diploma thesis: Pyrazine dervatives as potential drugs I. Presented by: Petra Plasová Tuberculosis belongs between wide-world spreaded infections diseases, by which is infected about one third of human population. Due to attempts with potencial pyrazine antituberculotics at our department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry were developed series of substituted arylaminopyrazines. The first one, 3-chloropyrazine derivate, provided via coupling (aminodehalogenation) with aromatic amine acquired compounds.Structure modifications was achived by changing of carboxylic functions groups, e.g. dehydrogenation of carboxamide (origin of carbonitrile) or by adition of monosulphane (originates carbothioamide). We gained 8 absolutely new substances, which have not been described before, so they were characterized by TLC, melting point, elementary analysis, IR, 1H,13C NMR spectrum and log P values. These new substances are under the testing in vitro of their activity, against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv under international research program for new antituberculotics testing (TAACF, USA), resultes are not known yet. Mentioned compounds were in vitro tested for antifungal activity against determine fungal pathogens on Departement of biological and medicinal sciencis and against four tribes of mycobacteria in...

Hereditary and non-hereditary factors affecting the quality of rapeseed oil
Zemanová, Kateřina ; Sedláková, Vladimíra (advisor) ; Bečka, David (referee)
This literature review study quality of rapeseed oil in details, depending on heritable and non-heritable factors. Consumption of rapeseed oil is growing every year and in addition to use in human nutrition is also used in animal feed industry or as fuel for motor vehicles. The rapeseed oil has especially a large representation of oleic acid. Furthermore, it is linoleic acid and linolenic acid and undesirable erucic acid, whose quantity is considerably reduced. It is important to mention glucosinolate content, as antinutritional substances, which is reduced together with erucid acid which is known as "00" rapeseed oil. All these components are described in details in this review. The content of fatty acids in rapeseed oil may be influenced both genetic factors and environmental factors. Selection plays a significant role in breeding. Suitably selecting the correct genotypes along with environmental influences can reach the desired target. An important role is played by the synthesis of fatty acids, where in using a desaturation enzymes of fad series, there is desaturation of stearic acid to oleic acid, linoleic acid and linolenic acid. With QTL method, it can be detected genetic background of quantitative traits. Major genes responsible for the quality of rapeseed oil are located on the chromosome A, namely A1, A3, A5 and A8, which are mentioned in the work.

Extraction Landscape Elements from Remote Sensing Data
Martinová, Olga ; Kalvoda, Petr (referee) ; Hanzl, Vlastimil (advisor)
In this thesis, an approach to automatically derive information about land cover from the remotely sensed data is presented. The data interpretation was done with classification process and performed in software eCognition Developer. The Object-based image analysis, which assignes the classes - for example land cover types, to clusters of pixels (=objects), was used. For the classification, products of two different data sources were combined - the orthophotos generated from aerial imagery and Normalized Digital surface model derived from LiDAR data. Five types of landscape elements were identified and classified.
