Forest evolution in Central Europe during the Holocene periode
Švábová, Barbora ; Šefrna, Luděk (advisor) ; Matějček, Tomáš (referee)
The work deals with the forest as an ecosystem where relationships take place, which are influenced by abiotic and biotic factors. Great attention is paid to the climate, which affects not only the distribution of biomes. Its constant changes have an impact on the species composition of forests and human society. By the effects of the climate, the Holocene period was divided into sub-stages. Man also played a significant role in the conversion of the central Europe forest and changes it even now. That is why this work devotes a considerable part of it to this influence. Great changes of the forest began with the emergence of agriculture, which was the first impulse for the beginning of deforestation. Examined are the ways of prehistoric and modern economy. With the loss of trees came an idea of protecting the forests. As an example of possible further effect on the forest, the influence of some pathogens is presented.

Effect of administration of drugs from the group of statins on the atherogenic process / / in an experimental model of atherosclerosis.
Koutníková, Jitka ; Nachtigal, Petr (advisor) ; Trejtnar, František (referee)
The effects statins administration on atherogenic process in the experimental model of atherosclerosis. Mgr. Jitka Koutníková The aim of this rigorous work was to detect and quantify the changes of endothelial expression of VCAM - 1 (the marker of endothelial dysfunction) and endoglin (the marker of angiogenesis) in vessel wall of apoE deficient mice. Endoglin is a part of the receptor complex of the transformation growing factor beta (TGF - beta). Statins are the most considerable substances for the treatment of hyperlipidemia and blood - vessel complications (atherosclerosis). Statins decrease levels of LDL cholesterol and also of triglycerides. Moreover, pleiotropic effects take important part in statin's benefit: the decrease of activity of inflammatory and prothrombotic processes. We used apoE deficient mice as the model of atherosclerosis, fed by standard laboratory diet. We analyzed the levels of total cholesterol in blood and we observed expression of VCAM - 1 and endoglin in aortic sinus and part of aortic arch in all mice. Total cholesterol concentrations were assessed enzymatically by conventional diagnostic methods and spectrophotometric analyses. To display VCAM-1 and endoglin expression in aortic sinus and part of aortic arch we used imunohistochemical methods and for quantification of VCAM-1...

Possibilities of Neoclassical Geopolitics: Systemic Approach
Kofroň, Jan ; Dostál, Petr (advisor) ; Ištok, Robert (referee) ; Romancov, Michael (referee)
The submitted dissertation tries to introduce neoclassical geopolitics as a viable approach to the study of international politics from geographical perspective. The dissertation is a compact of six already published articles and a common introduction highlighting main points of the articles and further discussing some issues which were (i) eliminated due to space constrains, or (ii) their significance is rather contextual, in the sense that they set the articles into broader discussions. The first part of the thesis (supported by two articles) deals with a current stage of political geography and geopolitics. The main result is that geopolitics is today a divided (sub)discipline, as geographers are mainly engaged in critical geopolitics and scholars of the International Relations continue in classical geopolitical reasoning (namely those who subscribe themselves under the label of neorealism). The main difference is that geographers consider space as an inter-subjective entity - socially constructed, whereas IR scholars tend to see space as an objective factor. In the combination with other epistemological differences, this different consideration of space has produced an exorbitant barrier between these two fields. One factor dividing the two approaches looms especially large - it is an arduous...

Allusion in selected pieces of modern Russian authors
Gaponenkova, Julia ; Hlaváček, Antonín (advisor) ; Hříbková, Radka (referee)
The thesis is dedicated to the question of literary allusion in selected works of modern Russian writers. In the first part of the thesis the author explores the concept of allusion from the theoretical point of view. She defines and characterizes allusion, specifies basic notions, i.e. presupposition, denotator, and marker. The process of "encoding - perceiving - decoding" is also taken into consideration. The author describes various stages of mental processes of a writer while creating an allusion and of a reader while perceiving and understanding it. Literary allusions are classified into 10 main groups according to their themes. Allusion is explored from the practical point of view by analyzing such literary works as The holy book of the werewolf by Viktor Pelevin, Russian beauty by Viktor Jerofejev and Grandparents by Dmitry Lipskerov. In order to deeply understand the writers' creative work, the author presents several biographical facts.

Hofmannová, Šárka ; Vrzáček, Petr (advisor) ; Vanický, Josef (referee)
Social economy is modern alternative of community development. Respective subjects are dwelling especially on the sphere of the social services, support of employment, education or health service. The social economy is also supported by EU in this aspect. Though legislative alterations of each EU countries are in the different stage of development, subjects of the social economy are established even without these rules. The research of the respective social companies in the Czech republic showed that a social company which determined properly its product could exist and develop without legislative alterations, forms of its existence are very variable. It is also being showed on other analyses of the countries with different rules - Italy, Finland that appropriate legislative alteration makes easer considerably the creation, existence and monitoring of an own contribution of subjects of the social economy. Although the social economy is dwelling on the development of the disabled person potential it does not exist the uniform approach for providing of supports on the part of a state.

Lorencová, Markéta ; Holcová, Katarína (advisor) ; Bubík, Miroslav (referee) ; Hudáčková-Hlavatá, Natália (referee)
/ SUMMARY The doctoral thesis discusses thecamoebians assemblages coming from five glacial lakes in the National Park Šumavaand from the Lipno Reservoir in the Southern Bohemia (the Czech Rep.). The research analyzes parameters of various assemblages commensurate with environmental characteristics. The aim of this research is to find relations useful in paleoecology. Thecamoebians are freshwater microorganisms with amoeboid cell and simple organic or anorganic test. Species with anorganic tests have been examined because of their better possibilities to fossilize. This taxon may prove to be a key taxon for monitoring environmental change during 21't century So it is expected that it could bear useful information about freshwater benthic paleoenvironment as well. Forty-six surface samples from the bottom of five glacial lakes in the ŠumavaMts., Czech Republic. collected in2002 were investigated and twelve species of thecamoebians with anorganic wall were identified in total. 96 oÁ samples contain the species Difflugia globulus. Other common species are Difflugia oblonga and Centropyxis orbicularis. Dominance oť DiÍÍlugiaglobulus and representation of Centropyxis orbiculari.r and Trigonopyxis arcula are the considerable differences comparing testate fauna from other world lakes.

Promotion of self-sufficiency in patients with rheumatoid arthritis in selected daily activities at the home environment
TÜRKOVÁ, Věra
Promotion of self-sufficiency in patients with rheumatoid arthritis in selected daily activities at the home environment The topic of my bachelor thesis is promotion of self-sufficiency in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease the main symptom of which is damage of mainly small joints, muscles, ligaments, but it may also manifest itself in internal organs of the body. This leads to significant motion limitation and thus greatly deteriorates the quality of life and self-sufficiency of affected people. Since it is women who suffer from this disease most, we concentrated on the area of cooking, eating and personal hygiene. The role of nurses is to lead patients to self-sufficiency. There are more possibilities how to provide the patients with limited self-sufficiency with support, but the thesis is focused on the aids to promote self-sufficiency in cooking, eating and personal hygiene. To carry out the research survey we stated six goals. The first goal was to find out what aids to promote self-sufficiency the patients with rheumatoid arthritis have at their disposition for cooking food and eating. The second objective was to determine what aids to promote self-sufficiency the patients with rheumatoid arthritis have at their disposition in the area of personal hygiene. The third objective was to determine what aids to promote self-sufficiency the patients with rheumatoid arthritis miss in the area of cooking and eating. The fourth goal was to find out what aids to promote self-sufficiency the patients with rheumatoid arthritis miss in the area of personal hygiene. The fifth objective was to create a brochure to promote self-sufficiency of patients with rheumatoid arthritis in cooking, eating and personal hygiene. The sixth goal was to apply the booklet on patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The goals of the thesis were met. At the turn of February and March 2011 the qualitative research survey was conducted. For data collection the method of questioning, the non-standardized interview technique was used. Using pre-prepared questions we interviewed the respondents with rheumatoid arthritis who are treated on an outpatient basis. Based on information and available aids mapping, a booklet to promote self-sufficiency in patients with rheumatoid arthritis was created and subsequently tested. The research group consisted of six respondents suffering from rheumatoid arthritis. The respondents were selected according to predetermined criteria, which were the suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, disease stages II., III., IV, when self-sufficiency is strongly influenced and monocyclic, polycyclic and progressive course of rheumatoid arthritis is present. The research sample for an inquiry was selected by the same criteria, and it consisted of 10 respondents. The thesis revealed which specific aids are available to patients with rheumatoid arthritis and which are missing. Based on obtained information and the aids mapped, a booklet to promote self-sufficiency of patients with rheumatoid arthritis in the area of cooking, eating and personal hygiene was created. We believe that steps to improve self-sufficiency in patients with rheumatoid arthritis in the areas of cooking, eating and personal hygiene at home environment involve the booklet provision to outpatient and inpatient departments of rheumatology. To address the widest possible population of rheumatics with damaged self-sufficiency and on the basis of positive responses to the booklet, we accepted the offer to publish a series article about promotion of self-sufficiency in patients with rheumatoid arthritis in the magazine ?REVMATIK?. In our opinion, positive contribution could also be organization of an information seminar on aids to promote self-sufficiency for patients and nurses in rheumatology units and for members of the Rheumatism - league and students of ZSF.
