Fall-out of minimal necessary capacity of PET and PET/CT for oncological patients in CR
Šobáňová, Kateřina ; Bělohlávek, Otakar (advisor)
Positron emission tomography in the Czech Republic for a seven-year tradition. At this moment Czech Republic has two and three hybrid PET PET / CT scanners. They are used primarily in clinical practice in cancer patients. It is known that patients with proven cancer and patients with definite suspicion of malignancy forms a very large section of the population of patients investigated in nuclear medicine centers, especially in PET centers. The possibility of combining metabolic and anatomical-morphological appearance of tissues during a single examination (as in PET / CT) is significantly increased sensitivity and specificity of both methods and thus contributes not only to save time, but also speed up the diagnostic-therapeutic process, which is in cancer Patients particularly important and desirable. According to some sources, this examination may up to one third of cancer patients lead to a change of the originally planned therapy. [2] The investigative method of PET and PET / CT is for certain malignancies important not only in the diagnosis and monitoring of therapy, but it makes sense in a secondary tertiary prevention in search of metastasis and relapse and early detection relapse rate by other methods in that phase unobservable.

Yemen Jews - Religion, Culture, Traditions and Customs
Nepalová, Ivana ; Nosek, Bedřich (advisor) ; Biernot, David (referee)
The Sages say "from three things our father's were delivered from Egypt: they did not change their names, their tongue (language) and there dress." Tradition records that the Yemenite Jewish community was first established by King Solomon over 3000 years ago. Yemenite Jewry is a window into Jewish people's past. Yemenites have many customs, traditions, foods, clothing, and language that clearly make them unique from the general divisions of world Jewry like Ashkenazic or Sephardic. For instance, Yemenites are the only members of world Jewish community who base their religious legal code on Moses Maimondes' opus magnum the Mishna Torah. Moreover, Maimonides, or more commonly know by his acronym the Rambam, with his logical and rational approach to the Bible is the adopted hero for Yemenite Jewry. On the other hand, Yemenite Jewry maintains many ancient superstitions which at first glance appear to contradict Rambam's approach. However, Yemenites have been able to strike a balance between their superstitions and Rambam's rationalism and to build a harmony in their lives. It this ability to harmonize seemingly unbridgeable differences which first attracted me to the study Yemenite Jewry.

The image of the city in contemporary British literature. The city in the works of Martin Amis and Ian McEwan
Chalupský, Petr ; Hilský, Martin (advisor) ; Nováková, Soňa (referee) ; Grmela, Josef (referee)
The city and its milieu have always been a source of inspiration and motifs for artists and writers are no exception. The process of urbanization brought along rapid social, political, cultural and economic changes which evoked immediate responses of various kinds, from welcoming and celebrating ones to those of rejection and condemnation, from those who were traditionally the most sensitive about such phenomena ~ men of letters. As a result of this fact, the image of the city has been present in literature since the first urban societies appeared and to trace it back in detail would mean a different aim from that which this work is going to follow. The main concern of my thesis is contemporary British literature and therefore I would like to focus on how the city is reflected in the works of British writers in the last two decades of the twentieth century. To provide certain general coherence, continuity and context of the theme, I will also put down a brief outline of how the image of the city has been developing and changing in English literature since the late Victorian period trying to show that the phenomenon is very deep-rooted in the tradition of the English imagination. If we should mention the most notable contemporary British writers whose works are set in cities or in some other way depict the...

Czech family in the early 21st century - an attitude to the punishment of children
ZADRAŽILOVÁ, Aneta
The topic of this bachelor?s thesis is A Czech family at the beginning of the 21st century ? the attitude to punishment of children. The theoretical part deals with the characteristics of a family and its functions. It also includes a historical outline which summarises the development of family since the Middle Ages till present day. The next chapter concerns upbringing and the styles and models thereof. The chapter that describes methods of upbringing is divided into two parts; it covers reward as well as punishment, both physical and psychological and the thin line which separates harmless punishment from abuse. Another essential part of this thesis focuses on crucial documents and the effort to legally protect children. The last chapter compares using physical and psychological punishment and their consequences. The aim of this thesis is to find out how the selected generations, within the framework of the family, view punishment as a component of traditional upbringing. This thesis uses qualitative research. The researched objects are represented by multi-generation families (parents and grandparents). To find out the necessary information, a structured semi-stanradised interview was used. Parents and grandparents from 3 different families from Třebíč were asked about their opinions on upbringing and their views on children punishment.The results of the research confirmed that present-day parents have not, to a large degree, deflected from the methods of their parents. Therefore, the most commonly used practice is inflicting punishment, including that of a physical nature. The respondents also disagree with the proposed change of law that would prohibit punishment as they appear to fear that it would eventually lead to excessive democracy and parents would lose control over their children. The work could serve for professionals who deal with the issue of punishment of children.

Rothbauer, Pavel ; Zamazalová, Marcela (advisor) ; Štědroň, Bohumír (referee)
This work concentrates on a specific area of cooperation between the profit and non-profit sectors -- the corporate philanthropy. That is a mechanism of corporate contribution to community causes. It is usually carried out in the form of financial, product or service donation. In this manner, the corporations in the role of a social investors participate on the satisfaction of needs, concerns and interests of community. The goal of this work is first to introduce the issue of corporate philanthropy on the theoretical level and next to describe the local philanthropic practices in two very different cultures -- in the Czech Republic and in Hong Kong. The data from researches carried out in these two countries were used for the analyses of the state of local philanthropy. The results of such analyses were then compared and the local characteristics as well as weak and strong points in the respective regions were identified. In what respects is the philanthropy in both countries similar and where does is it differ? Hong Kong is a country of long capitalistic tradition and is also a regional center for many multinational companies, which traditionally engage in these activities. Is this country with its culture of corporate philanthropy ahead of us and is there something we can learn from Hong Kong? Based on this comparison we can search for inspiration, possible risks and solutions. This work was elaborated using specialized bibliography focusing on the matter of corporate philanthropy. An invaluable source of information proved to be internet, mainly because philanthropy is a relatively new phenomenon in Czech Republic and there is not a large number of monographies concerning this topic. Lastly materials and works from various foundations, mainly the Czech Donors Forum, were utilized.

Zobecnění objektově orientovaného paradigmatu zavedením morfologie objektů
Šlajchrt, Zbyněk ; Pecinovský, Rudolf (advisor) ; Merunka, Vojtěch (referee) ; Virius, Miroslav (referee)
Modeling protean objects, i.e. objects adapting their structure and behavior dynamically with respect to a changeable environment, is often challenging in traditional object-oriented languages. According to the author, the root cause of this problem lies in the class-based conceptual framework embedded in the foundation of the object-oriented para-digm. The proposed paradigm Object Morphology (OM) is greatly influenced by prototype theory developed in the field of cognitive psychology. OM abandons the notion of class and suggests, instead, that the abstractions of protean objects should be established through the construction of morph models describing the possible forms of those objects. This the-sis defines the theoretical foundations of OM, which is further used to specify the elements of prototypical object-oriented analysis. An important part of this work is also a proof-of-concept implementation of an OM framework in Scala.
