Macrobiotic - full-fledged form of food?
Sázavský, Jan ; Coufalová, Klára (advisor) ; Petr, Miroslav (referee)
Subject: Macrobiotic - full-valued form of nutrition? Objective: Evaluation of macrobiotics as full compensation for conventional diets recommended by the Presidium of the Board of the Society for Nutrition based on the oretical approaches and empirical findings. Characteristics of the ingredients and nutritional analysis in terms of the in impact on physical and mental condition of the human organism. Method: Objectives of the thesis was achieved using method of quotas to select research sample. On the basis of established criteria and defined number of representatives for the sample, were selected only thoseind ividuals who meet these criteria. Macrobiotic menus were analyzedat three men and at free women. The data obtained via measure ments were compared with recommended daily dose. This model was chosen as it was the most recent vision of the diet model. Results: Macrobiotic diet reprents full-fledged alternative form of nutrition, based on research carried out. This conclusion is based on research conducted with free men and free women who provided weekly menus for analysis purpose and conversion to these menus to the nutritional value was sufficiently proved. Based on the out come of the research, it was found that macrobiotics can not be regarded as nutrition offering full energy, as its...

Using classic versus geometric morphometrics in anthropology
Pinkr, Tomáš ; Velemínská, Jana (advisor) ; Brůžek, Jaroslav (referee)
Shape differences and their analysis may reveal differences in the growth and morphogenesis, the influence of different evolutionary pressures, or the consequences of a disproportionate burden of the various parts of the body. Variability of some characters cannot be measured, but it can be observed and described verbally, or eventually described in photographs or schematically. A morphoscopy deals with it and currently beside the traditional direct visual observations also modern technology is utilized. Morphometry unlike morphoscopy is used for measurement and comparison of organism shapes and shape changes analysis. Outputs of morphometric examination are tables of numbers and mathematical and statistical operations are used to obtain information from these data. Current anthropology divides morphometry to two slightly different sets of methods a traditional morphometrics and a geometric morphometrics. The traditional morphometrics measures directly object of study using conventional measuring tools. Conversely, the geometric morphometrics analyzes object in the virtual space using sopfisticated instrumentation including special software. Display methods store information about geometry of the subject. Resulting databases are used not only for the original analysis but also for other research as...

Possible stabilization effects of returnable incomes in municipal development on the example of municipalities of various sizes
Šimánek, Zbyněk ; Peková, Jitka (advisor) ; Měrtlová, Libuše (referee)
This thesis focuses on specific forms of long term development stabilization by using returnable incomes in Czech municipalities of various sizes. Stabilization is appropriate when unexpected (negative) events may occur, when assuring continuity of investment activities, or financing extensive development projects. Traditional form of Keynesian countercyclical stabilization has not been confirmed on analyzed municipalities. Conversely, fiscal and budgetary behavior of the municipalities has been procyclical. The author points out the necessity of stabilization on the municipal level due to a long term non-conceptual fiscal policy of the Czech government.

Oxid molybdenový nanesený na mesoporézní silice – nový vysoce aktivní katalyzátor pro metathese olefinů
Topka, Pavel ; Balcar, Hynek
New types of heterogeneous catalysts for alkene metathesis based on molybdenum oxide supported on mesoporous molecular sieves MCM-41, MCM-48 and SBA-15 showed considerably higher activity compared with MoO3 supported on conventional silica. In metathesis of 1-octene, the highest activity exhibited MoO3/MCM-41 with 6 wt. % of Mo (75 % conversion after 6 h at 40 oC with selectivity to 7-tetradecene 85 %). The turn-over frequency of the catalysts loaded with 8 wt. % of Mo decreased in the order MCM-41 > MCM-48 > SBA-15, while the selectivity slightly increased in the same order (from 62 to 95 %). Using Raman spectroscopy, the differences in the catalytic activity were elucidated as a result of different dispersion of the active phase over the supports.

Synthesis and Functionalization of 5-Substituted Tetrazoles
Roh, Jaroslav ; Hrabálek, Alexandr (advisor) ; Potáček, Milan (referee) ; Csöllei, Jozef (referee)
In the last decades, the chemistry of tetrazoles underwent a great expansion, which was closely connected with their usage as an isosteric replacement of carboxylic acid moiety in the molecules of potential or clinically used drugs. In this work, existing methods of the preparation of 5-substituted tetrazoles were modified by utilising microwave irradiation and by changing the reaction conditions and the reaction medium. First, Sharpless synthesis, consisting in the conversion of nitriles into 5-substituted tetrazoles via the reaction of sodium azide and zinc halide in boiling water, was modified. The application of the microwave irradiation decreased reaction time while maintaining high yields of products. Furthermore, a new method for the preparation of 5-substituted tetrazoles was developed, based on the reaction of nitrile with sodium azide and triethylammonium chloride in the polar aromatic solvents under microwave irradiation. By this method, 5-substituted tetrazoles were prepared in high yields in short reaction times from nitriles, including those that react poorly using common methods. Based on the results of several selected methods of the preparation of 5-substituted tetrazoles, carried out under either conventional or microwave heating at the same reaction temperatures, the non-thermal...

TV Sitcom Friends: Analysis of character humor strategies based on the violation of Grice's Conversational maxims
Šmilauerová, Anna ; Pípalová, Renata (advisor) ; Ženíšek, Jakub (referee)
Anna Šmilauerová: TV Sitcom Friends: Analysis of character humor strategies based on the violation of Grice's Conversational maxims Abstract The purpose of this diploma thesis is the analysis of the humor strategies employed by the characters of Phoebe and Chandler in the TV Sitcom Friends. The discovered prevailing strategies were then compared with the personalities of the two characters. The data analyzed were the written script of five exemplary episodes from the Season 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9, in which the utterances eliciting laughter from the audience were thoroughly analyzed from the point of Grice's Cooperative Principle: only those utterances were considered in which the characters violated one or more of the conversational maxims (quality, quantity, relation and manner). Phoebe was found to violate most often the maxim of relation, thus it is her being non-factual and non-conventional that constitutes her most entertaining quality. As she develops and grows more mature as a character, the frequency counts of this humor strategy evince a descending tendency. Chandler, on the other hand, is mostly being ironic, violating the maxim of quality. His character also gradually changes but his sense of humor remains the same - ironic throughout the show, as follows from the instances of almost fixed frequency....

Digital library Kramerius and its use by students of historical sciences
Fišer, Marek ; Bratková, Eva (advisor) ; Večeřová, Petra (referee)
The thesis focuses on the digital library Kramerius, that provides electronic access to mainly Bohemian documents from 19th and 20th century. Its aim is not to describe all parts of this system and its hinterland - the thesis focuses rather on the user point of view. The core of the thesis is formed by user survey, which is conducted among the students of historical disciplines at the Faculty of Arts, Charles University in Prague, namely the students enrolled in the study programme Historical sciences. In the first part, there is a characteristic of digital library Kramerius with the focus on the aspects, that are closely related with its usability (user interface, accessibility of documents, conversion of the original documents to machine- readable form). The user survey, which is described in the second part, is devided into two parts.

Rapid detection microogranism in pharmaceutical materials.
Novosád, Aleš ; Jílek, Petr (advisor) ; Voxová, Barbora (referee)
1 Summary Many microbiology laboratory, no matter what already in pharmaceutical firms or to hygienic stations ground and firms conversant food production used to analysis big quantity microbiology samples conventional techniques based on cultivation appropriate culture. These techniques take hours to days to yield a result, are tedious and are not suitable for non- culturable microorganisms. Further, culture-based techniques do not provide real-time information on the physiological status of the organism in situ which is important in the industrial manufacture of many microbial products (1) and often at high of the number of micro - organisms, when isn't possibility number micro - organisms determine, all time cultivation about next dilution sample elongate and about time growth this micro - organism. Flow cytometry makes it possible to obtaining real microbial determination single micro - organisms, without dependencies on type microbial culture. Nevertheless, flow cytometry has not been extensively used as a tool for routine microbial analysis. Reason is mainly high cost and complexity of instrumentation, the need for trained flow cytometrists and the lack of assay kits with appropriate biological reagents for specific applications. Much modern instruments are now relatively simply serviceable, thanks...
