Čuříková, Lada ; Süss, Vladimír (advisor) ; Jandová, Soňa (referee) ; Fořterová, Petra (referee)
Headline: Swimming technique of physically disabled swimmers with unilateral above-knee amputation Aim of the Thesis: The aim of this thesis is to describe the intra-individual differences in the swimming technique of unilateral above-knee amputees by measuring the EMG of selected muscle groups. Methods: Surface EMG measurement in combination with using synchronized video recordings. Results: Research of the observed swimmers with unilateral above-knee amputation showed that: when swimming the front crawl, the swimmers unequally balance the intense kick of right and left leg mainly using the abdominal muscles and subsequently also in the electric potential of different sizes in other observed muscles; when swimming the backstroke, the upper body muscles on the side of amputated limb do not show any different activity than the muscles of the opposite side; when swimming the breaststroke, the main propulsion muscle for locomotion through the shoulder girdle - m. latissimus dorsi is activated for a longer period of time on the side of amputated limb; thereby, electrical activity of the selected muscles is not symmetrical in the timeline. Key words: swimming step, swimming, above-knee amputation, electromyography, muscle activity, handicap, EMG.

Appreciatve suffixation in spanish and strategy of its translation
ŠINDELÁŘOVÁ, Kateřina
The bachelor thesis describes possible translations of some diminutives and augmentatives and compares the frequency of the use of these translations on the basis of their occurance in The Czech national corpus. There are theoretically explained the ways of enriching vocabulary, yet the biggest part is dedicated to appreciative suffixation in czech and spanish language, to ways of formation of diminutives and augmentatives and the strategy of their translations. In every chapter there are mentioned the most common czech and spanish apreciative suffixes and also the description of modifications of the derived words. There are also available graphs which show the frequency of the use of different translations which appear in corpus.

A family life influenced by taking care of a child with the Asperger syndrome.
MUŽÍKOVÁ, Alena
Birth of a child with heavy disabilities changes the current life of the whole family in many ways. This work focuses primarily on how the parents cope with the very fact of their child's disability, in what areas of family life they feel the greatest impact, the extent to which the disability affects child rearing practices, what facilitates the management burden associated with caring for a child with disabilities, and what role social environment plays. This work deal with issues of birth of a child with disabilities and ways of coping with this burden by parents and family. I focus on the development and education of children with disabilities in the family and the specifics of education of a child with Autism, specifically of Asperger syndrome. The aim is to show the whole process in which individual family members deal with the diagnosis, from the first reaction to it, changes in their daily lives to coming to terms with this fact.

Possibility of water and nutrient retention increase in agricultural landscape on example of Třeboňsko area
LHOTSKÝ, Richard
Possibility of water and nutrient retention increase in agricultural landscape on example of Třeboňsko area is subject of PhD thesis presented here by Mgr. Richard Lhotský. PhD thesis is divided into three main chapters that try to answer three basic questions: 1. How far is possible to increase landscape water retention using fishponds? 2. Large amount of nutrient and soil leach arable land, both causing surface water euthrophication and a bigger sedimentation in fishponds. Is it possible to moderate these harmful effects? 3. If wetlands became a part of landscape features how to utilize plant biomass from these areas. Fishponds or even whole fishpond system is a specific component of czech rural landscape and fulfill several important functions. Water accumulation and retention are the most important considering the thesis ? fishponds collect water from a catchment area and also collect floodwaves. Current agriculture based on originally steppe crop needs amelioration. In spite lot of positive features we have to bear in mind that water drainage systems increase mineralization of an organic matter in soil and nutrient loss which might be economically important as well as decrease of surface water quality due to the euthphication. Wetlands and small water bodies (fishponds) may play important role as a nutrient trap in agricultural catchment areas, reuse them and prevent their loss from a landscape and whole Czech Republic. It is necessary to solve a utilization of plant biomass from nutrient and water retention areas and use that in biogas plants seems to be one of the most promising.

Příběh Georga Placzka (Nová fakta o jeho pozoruhodném životě a práci)
Gottvald, Aleš
The world's distinguished theoretical physicist Georg Placzek (1905-1955) cooperated with many legendary physicists of the first half of the twentieth century, yet this native of Brno is almost unknown in his homeland. Placzek's contributions to theoretical physics are important and still vivid. He was also an active participant of a number of history-making moments. In particular, he was a leader of a theoretical group in the Manhattan project – as the only citizen of Czechoslovakia. We bring many new facts, documents and photographs about Georg Placzek, his remarkable life, work and family. Many of these materials have never been published elsewhere.

The issue of woman´s pregnancy in higher age
KUNTOVÁ, Anna
My Bachelor thesis devotes to the issue of the pregnancy of women in older age. This topic is currently very topical and frequently discussed. This work is divided into the theoretical and the practical or rather the research part. In the theoretical part we defined the physiological pregnancy, the general problems of the pregnancy in an older age and family planning. In the next chapter, we have focused on the influencing of a woman's age on her experience with pregnancy or the fetus. According to many studies, there is the evidence that women over the age of 35 years are predisposed more to the pregnancy complications.The important issue is also the fertility decreasing prominently after the woman´s age of 30 years. The prenatal care, psyche and needs of women in old age are mentioned too.There were two purposes of my work. The first one was the effect of the age of woman on the course of her pregnancy. The second one was monitoring of the most frequent reasons for getting pregnant in an older age. Five research questions were chosen : How does older age affect the course of pregnancy? How do multigravidas women evaluate the pregnancy before the age of 35 and after that age? How do midwives educate pregnant women in older age, and how they assess them? How is the situation about the awareness of women about the risks of pregnancy in an older age? Why did women deside for the pregnancy in an older age?The research was based on the qualitative method with the help of personalized semistructured interviews. Interviews were conducted with ten women aged 35 years and over (they were divided into the five primiparous and five multiparous) and three midwives. The research was conducted at the practical gynecologists offices on the basis of their consent to research.The results of this study pointed to the issues of pregnancy above the age of 35 years. It was found and in some cases confirmed, that age can really have a negative effect on the pregnancy after the 35th year of the woman's life.The pregnancy hypertension, low overlying placenta or the danger of amniocentesis appeared at respondents. We cannot say every pregnant woman will suffer from complications.The high-risk pregancy of older age was proved in some cases, it is possible to say three out of ten respondents spent their pregnancy without problems. The reasons for decision of women to have a child in this age are the women´s partners. Sometimes woman married a new partner or she was waiting for suitable partner for a long time. Sometimes women simply want a baby and they do not think about their age. The other reason can be also career or hobbies of women or the unintended pregnancy.My bachelor thesis pointed to possibility of risk for pregnant women aged over 35 years. It should serve as an information source but not as a plan that women can expect if they get pregnant over 35 years age. Established reasons of women to become pregnant should show the present situation and the attitudes of women. The results are a reflection of our time, because the age for women pregnancy grow. It is good to know why this is happening. We can argue against the issue of the knowledge and the education of women. They should know the risk of pregnancy over 35 years in advance. Is the ignorance in this issue the positive factor? Every woman is a personality with a different understanding and a different psychological frame of mind. It is necessary to perceive a woman holistically and to think about her anamnesis.

Pícniny v osevních postupech a ve výživě zvířat
Sláma, Miloš
The aim of the study was to assess the development of crop rotations with regard to the current state of fodder crops, when it began to wane sown forage and reduce the number of cattle as well. The thesis also deals with the principle of crop rotation, the appropriateness of including different types of forages and the influence of the inclusion of forage in crop rotation and nutrient parametres of cattle. Properly assembled crop rotation contributes to the smooth growing of plants and enrichment of the soil by a large number of underground and aboveground phytomass. Classification of forages contributes in many cases to increase soil fertility. Very suitable in this context is inclusion legumes, particularly clover plants, but also pea, which leave large quantities of crop residues and also due to symbiotic root with nodule bacteria fix atmospheric nitrogen. In ruminant rations represent an important source of protein components. The greatest use of legumes in feed industry is sown alfalfa and clover. To complement the carbohydrate components of the feeding dose is of utmost importance to maize silage, which is due root crops character with possible direct fertilization also improving crop in crop rotations.

Satisfaction of the Customers of the Home for the Aged Humpolec with the services rendered.
JAKEŠOVÁ, Lucie
The aim of a research in this graduation work was to find out how the clients of the Home for Seniors in Humpolec are satisfied with providing this social service. The target was mainly to map areas which are considered problematic by the social service users themselves. The Home for Seniors has resides in a building not originally determined for these purposes since 1962. The Home is currently trying, as many other institutions of social services, to comply with social services quality standards in unsuitable architectural conditions. Despite the users themselves gave their satisfaction with providing the social service, the research also resulted in listing a few problem areas. It was mainly the area of public services availability. Major reasons of respondents dissatisfaction in this area were architectural barriers that make their full participation in everyday life impossible. Another problem areas were keeping privacy on users rooms, mainly at moments of carrying on personal hygiene, approachability of sanitary facilities from users rooms, and to a less extent an area of meals or coexistence. I expected areas of meals and accomodations to be the most urgent of the services provided. Although my assumption was wrong, according to the results of the performed research, certain problems in this area may be taken into account. The results of the research also indicate that improvement in the users satisfaction with the services provided would require bigger system changes, that are nowadays unfortunately impossible from many obvious reasons. However, in the future is possible to expect the area of residential social services to undergo transformation in harmony with social services quality standards towards the services of better quality and higher evaluation.

The Problematic of Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) Occuring in Office-Buildings in České Budějovice - Health Consequences and Possible Prevention.
ŠVADLENKOVÁ, Radka
A modern person spends most time closed inside houses, offices, schools and other institutions, and if he feels unwell or experiences accute health and comfort effects, his every day life can be highly influenced both mentally and physically. Most symptoms of illnesses or indispositions appear in people living or working inside buildings for no apparent reason. Having left the building, health problems often diminish or even disappear. The complaints mostly include irritation of eye mucous membranes, upper and lower airways and skin, hypersensitiveness, mental and physical fatique, stomach upset and diziness. It is known as a ``sick building syndrome``. ``Sick building syndrome`` (SBS) results into significant decrease of human performance and frequent absences. However, it can lead to worse interpersonal relations, often connected with lower productivity of labour. ``Sick building syndrome`` has been known for many years. Its occurence is numerous but the cause for it have not yet been revealed. More negative factors seem to coincide. The positive moment is that many people are aware of the problem so many new SBS studies and publications have appeared recently. This diploma thesis consists of two parts. The first one, theoretical, and the other is practical. The practical part is focused on research work. The goal of my thesis was to compare a modern air-conditioned building with an older one, without air-conditioning while observing the SBS symptoms which appeared in office occupants in České Budějovice. I also investigated public awareness of this problem together with other issues related. I consider the findings very contributive to professionals in this field, the National Institute of Public Health and common population interested in the problem.

Assisting ex-convicts to find permanent placement and employment and their chances for successful rehabilitation back into society.
KOPAČKOVÁ, Bohumila
The issue of adaptation of persons released from imprisonment to the life of freedom is a complicated matter. Recovery or even the necessity to learn completely new life habits, skills and activities is a complex and long process during which the newly released prisoner faces many risky moments and such a person could be re-failure. This thesis is focused on mapping the extent and availability of services to persons released from imprisonment. I would especially like to focus on finding out about the degree of qualification, work experience, skills, work habits and motivations of released people in their reintegration process after the release. Chances of getting a job are related to this. The research was conducted through interviews using a questionnaire survey among the imprisoned who were a short time before the release from imprisonment (maximum of 6 months) and those just after the release from their imprisonment. Research was conducted in the period from February to June 2010. The research results show what factors and how they can undermine the process of rehabilitation of people released from imprisonment. In practice, this bachelor thesis can be used as an outline for the prevention of problems in the field of recidivism. It can be completed by a number of local studies dealing with this issue and which are based especially on the examination of criminal statistics. It offers a subjective perspective of the evaluation of life position and risks of recidivism of prisoners. I believe that the objective of the thesis, which was to map the scope and availability of services to persons released from imprisonment and the related issue of their chances in the labour market, has been met and I have managed to handle the given topic in the form I had outlined.
