Etymology and semantics
Karlíková, Helena
The contribution focuses on some problems an etymologist faces when reconstructing the original meaning of a given etymon. It shows what kind of difficulties one must deal with in description of the semantic development within the frame of one language (in its various historical phases) as well as within the whole lexical family. In such reconstruction one of the important factors is the application of the principle of comparison, i.e. the search for semantic parallels, analogical semantic processes.

Chemical communication in field mice of the genus ApodemusApodemus
Obstová, Lucie ; Stopka, Pavel (advisor) ; Vohralík, Vladimír (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with a special sebaceous organ that probably serves as a chemical communication means with four species of Apodemus field mouse - A. flavicollis, A. sylvaticus, A. agrarius and A. microps. This organ is found on the ventral side of a tail, so it is classified as a caudal organ. It consists of significantly enlarged sebaceous glands. It is particularly developed mainly with males; however, both females and infants have it as well. Its morphological structure has the same base regardless of the species, gender, and/or age; however the extent of development varies among species. The organ releases a secretion whose chemical content is unknown so far. Thanks to the gas-liquid chromatography, researchers have found out that there are both variations in the secretion contents among individual species, as well as within the same species. This kind of secretion is basically a characteristic feature of an individual, as it bears information about the species, gender, age and even the population affiliation. Functions of the organ stay unknown as well. It might serve to mark the territory, to play a role in social interactions (i.e. agonistic behaviour) and/or to be an important part of copulatory behaviour.

Autoantibodies against cancer-retina antigens in the serum of melanoma patients
Niebauerová, Iva ; Drahošová, Marcela (referee) ; Jílek, Petr (advisor)
An investigation presented in this thesis was concerned in production of cancer- retina proteins and the study of autoantibody reaction against them in the sera of melanoma patients. The photoreceptor genes and transcripts (mRNA) are presented not only in the photoreceptor cells, but they also occure in other tissues of neuroectodermal origin - melanocytes, melanoma, pineal glands and some other tumor cells (small cell lung carcinoma). The specific photoreceptor proteins are normally expressed only in photoreceptor cells, but in case of melanoma and other tumor cells, they can be also detected [Bazhin et al., 2006]. If photoreceptor proteins are produced outside the neuroimmunoprivileged zone, they provoke autoantibody reactions and the immune system recognizes them as antigens. By some oncologic patients it was even observed a damage of retinal cells, rods and cones, which was based on the destructive reaction of autoantibodies against photoreceptor proteins. This kind of disease belongs to the group of paraneoplastic syndromes, disorders which are connected to cancer presence in organism, but not caused by tumor itself. In this case we are talking about MAR (melanoma associated retinophaty) and CAR (carcinoma associated retinopathy) [Bazhin et al., 2007]. The photoreceptor proteins, I was working...

Risk factors for osteoporosis - knowledge and behavior of adolescent girls
KVASNÍKOVÁ, Martina
The thesis deals with the theme of risk factors for osteoporosis, knowledge and behavior of adolescent girls. The theoretical part of the thesis is divided into four chapters. The first chapter deals with the anatomy and physiology of bone. The second chapter discusses general information about osteoporosis. The third chapter summarizesthe prevention of osteoporosis and in the fourth chapter describes the treatment of osteoporosis. In the practical part of thesis was used method quantitative research. The target group consisted of 100 adolescent girls in the age range of 15-17 years of grammar school and vocational school in the České Budějovice. The girls were interviewed using a questionnaire, which consisted of questions related to osteoporosis. In thesis were determined two main objectives. The first of them was to map the knowledge of adolescent girls in the prevention of osteoporosis. The second objective is concerned with mapping the behavior of adolescent girls in the prevention of osteoporosis. The first research question dealt with by what kind of knowledge adolescent girls in the prevention of osteoporosis. The second research question was focused on the behavior of adolescent girls in the prevention of osteoporosis. According to the questionnaires can be concluded that the majority of respondents are not sufficiently informed about osteoporosis, but I find girls that basic information about the disease they have. Questionnaires filled in by teenage girls from the first and second years of grammer school and vocational school, therefore, the results are compared with one another. The survey shows that respondents from vocational school awareness of osteoporosis do not. Girls from grammer school have heard about this disease, but they can´t define it. The reason for this ignorance is that girls (from grammer school and from vocational school) have never been informed about osteoporosis. This fact mention the majority of the respondent girls. In most cases in the families of the respondents there is not osteoporosis or the girls do not know. On the following questions in the questioannarire girl (from both schools) have marked mostly option "not know". It were a questions whether sex hormones protects to some extent against osteoporosis. Furthermore, for which persons osteoporosis frequently occurs, whether the osteoporosis relate with calcium and vitamin D, or not. Schoolgirl from grammer school and vocational school mostly said that they consume milk and milk products several times a day or once a day. Of the 100 respondents sonly 18 girls said that do not drink alcohol. A total of 55 female students do not smoke and 23 female students smoke. The number of girl who smoke from vocational school is more than number of girls from grammer school. Schoolgirls of grammer school correctly think that physical activity can affect osteoporosis, the respondents of vocational school hold a different opinion. All of the girls regularly do sports, except for the two girls who do not purposefully movement. Based on the information from the questionnaire it would be appropriate that the teenager girls should be more informed about osteoporosis. There are several variations, such as educational material prepared for teenage girls or classes in school or self studying. Very important is the prevention of osteoporosis. The important role have a adequate nutrition and physical activity. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the knowledge of adolescent girls about the disease, so they can avoid.

The local fees in the Czech Republic
Turek, Jan ; Sedmihradská, Lucie (advisor) ; Kostohryz, Jiří (referee)
My diploma thesis aims to assess the planned amendment to the law on local fees and show the changes that have to occur. The planned amendment changes slightly rights and responsibilities of the municipality in the implementation of local taxes. In my diploma thesis we deal in detail with two kinds of charges - local fee for spa or recreational stays and a local charge of accommodation capacity. Rating of planned amendment preceded by analysis of the municipalities that collect those fees. I am focusing on the revenue side of their budgets. The first two chapters are theoretical. I generally describe how the law in Czech Republic influences the structure of public administration and how it prepares the budget of the municipalities. They are characterized by certain local fees and their legislative framework. The practical part is devoted to analysis of two local taxes in 10 selected municipalities and their final share in nationwide revenue from local taxes. The final part evaluates the planned amendment, indicates and shows possible problems that could occur in the future.

Impact of cryogenic grinding on iodine homogeneity in NIST SRM 1548a Typical Diet
Kameník, Jan ; Kučera, Jan
The reference material NIST SRM 1548a Typical Diet has a certified iodine mass fraction of 0.759±0.103 mg kg-1. The expanded uncertainty is rather large (relative value 13.6 %), thus the material does not provide strict requirements for quality control results. Milling of NIST SRM 1548a at the temperature of liquid nitrogen yielded free-flowing material. Iodine mass fraction in the original and cryo-ground materials was determined by epithermal neutron activation analysis (ENAA) and radiochemical neutron activation analysis (RNAA). The average and standard deviation from both methods was 0.73±0.03 mg kg-1 (20 values). The determined mass fraction was in a close agreement with the certified value of NIST SRM 1548a, thus iodine total content was not influenced by the milling procedure. In comparison to iodine mass fraction determined in the original NIST SRM 1548a 0.72±0.07 mg kg-1 (average ± standard deviation, 14 values), the standard deviation for cryo-ground material was considerably lower. The prepared quality control material sets up more stringent requirements on the validation and quality control procedures of the measurement of iodine mass fraction in such a composite food matrices. We believe that the iodine random inhomogeneity in the original NIST SRM 1548a is due to insufficient mixing of some iodine-rich component in the complex food matrices. Milling at the temperature of liquid nitrogen offers an effective option for production of future reference materials of this kind.

Routes planning in Úslava microregion
Kůst, Václav ; Houška, Milan (advisor) ; Jana, Jana (referee)
Czech Republic has one of the densest and highest quality marked hiking trails in Europe, covering completely the whole country. But these trails are not planned with respect to the minority of the population with some kind of handicap. This is a group of families with small children who prefer hiking or biking, for families with strollers and disabled persons in wheelchairs. As the author of this thesis is a councilor of the village Jarov and also a councilor of this village in the Mikroregion Úslava organization he decided to plan a short circular hiking trails with respect to these neglected tourist groups in order to expand tourism in the area of Mikroregion Úslava. These routes may also partly overlap with marked hiking trails (due to their density) and are planned with practical experiences of the author. The results of the thesis will be incorporated into the information brochures of Mikroregion Úslava.
The thesis is divided into theoretical and practical part. Theoretical part describes the methods for solving the travelling salesman problem and provides general information on the concept of micro-regions - voluntary unions of the municipalities. The practical part describes Mikroregion Úslava, the points of interest database creation procedure and planning sightseeing routes for families with children on foot, by bicycle or in strollers. There is also planned a route for disabled persons in wheelchairs in Blovice, which the author of the thesis eventually eliminated from the reasons described.

Economic Aspects of Education at Language Schools in the Czech Republic
Dvořáková, Miroslava ; Šrédl, Karel (advisor) ; Hana, Hana (referee)
The Master´s thesis is focused on financial sources invested in education at language schools in the Czech Republic. The theoretical part gathers data associated with the topic and is based primarily on the specialized literature. From the characterization of linguistic companies, it is obvious that this type can be described as a non-formal type of education. According to the international classification it belongs to the post-secondary non-tertiary education. Information obtained in the theoretical part will be important for the analytical part of the thesis. The practical section describes mostly language schools, analyses their offer of linguistic classes for public in detail. Both economic and non-economic criteria will be analysed and compared. The conclusion of the thesis presents evaluation of the previous parts. It is clear that the competition in the particular market is strong, and therefore it is necessary for every company to strive for some kind of competitive advantage. Regarding the choice of a suitable linguistic course from the point of view of a student, we suggest several factors that one should consider. Generally, it has been proven that investment in any kind of education is always considered a good investment.
