These individuals focus primarily on individual details, which they gradually connect to form an overall picture of a given object. The thesis includes basic theories on visual impairment, tactile perception, and typhlography. The subsequent sections focus on the development of tactile perception, stimulation, thinking, creativity, and imagination in preschool-aged children with visual impairments, as well as the importance of developing tactile perception in these children.

Nováková, Kateřina ; Gajdošíková, Pavla (advisor) ; Sedlák, Michal (referee)
The master thesis Fragments of Landscape explores the meaning of landscape in contemporary Czech art, using an a/r/tographic approach focused on exploring artistic and pedagogical practice through artistic production. Emphasis is placed on the importance of connecting the roles of artist, researcher and teacher. The first part of the thesis introduces the method of a/r/tography, explores the definition of landscape and the characteristics associated with its value, and the contemporary artistic view of landscape within the contemporary Czech art scene. It analyses artistic approaches to landscape and classifies them into nine categories, reflecting the diverse artistic approaches, the author's view of landscape and their influence on the creation and understanding of landscape. The author's own artistic work focuses on the authorial process of landscape transformation and interpretation, based on art field research of the Jizera Mountains and the resulting creation of a network of landscape fragments. The categorization of artistic approaches is the key to understanding the complexity of the creative process. The categorisation implies that the landscape cannot be clearly framed and categorised. The thesis concludes by evaluating the importance of didactic tasks in the process of art education,...

The theoretical part includes characteristics, distribution of foodborne diseases, definitions and detailed description of selected diseases. The next section describes the causes of foodborne infections and their classification into three groups: poor personal hygiene, multiplication of micro-organisms and contamination. Food safety and the importance of hygiene measures, guidelines and legal standards that need to be known in order to prevent these diseases are also described. The last part of the bachelor thesis defines the duties of food service workers. The subject of research of the practical part is the health literacy of workers in closed and open mass catering establishments who are involved in the preparation of food and therefore work in activities of epidemiological importance according to the Public Health Protection Act. The survey maps their knowledge of good hygiene practices in food preparation, distribution and storage. The second part of the practical part consists of the analysis of menus from selected establishments and their analysis in the NutriServis application. The results showed that health literacy in preventing foodborne infections is good. They are aware of epidemiologically relevant activities, terms and laws related to them. Again, these respondents have a good understanding of personal and operational hygiene, compliance with food preparation rules, and institutions dealing with, for example, emerging epidemics of alimentary diseases. The second part of the bachelor thesis focused on the evaluation of the weekly menu and the analysis of potential risks of foodborne illnesses. It was concluded that undercooked meat, meat products, eggs and unwashed fruit and vegetables could be the greatest risks.

Specifics of nutrition in strength sports
HIBLBAUEROVÁ, Tereza
This bachelor's thesis examines the specific nutritional needs of individuals engaged in strength sports. It explores the importance of macronutrients and micronutrients, as well as the appropriate selection of supplementation to enhance performance and support recovery. In the theoretical part of the thesis, the energy balance, recommended ratio of energy substrates, and hydration are explained. Furthermore, the thesis delves into the role of dietary supplements commonly used by strength athletes. Their effectiveness and safety are assessed to guide athletes in making informed decisions regarding their use. The thesis aims to analyze the diet and overall lifestyle of individuals engaged in strength sports. The research section was conducted using a qualitative method. Data collection was carried out through semi-structured interviews with 11 informants. The first part focused primarily on the dietary habits of athletes and the variety of their diets. It also evaluated the athletes' knowledge of nutrition and the validity of the sources of this information. In the second part, I analyzed the meal plans provided by the athletes. From the results of the study, it is evident that athletes have a basic understanding of nutrition. Almost all informants have a suitable representation of macronutrients in their diet. They prioritize adequate protein intake. However, the overall energy intake was often insufficient. While meal regularity was satisfactory for almost all informants, the meal plans of some informants were not very diverse. Almost all informants mentioned including protein powder in their meal plans. The conclusions of the thesis emphasize the significance of individualized nutrition plans tailored to the specific individual and their training goals.

The use of unstable surfaces in physiotherapy for people with osteoporosis
HRAZDIROVÁ, Nikola
The bachelor thesis deals with the issue of osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a chronic bone disease that affects postmenopausal women and older people. One of the important factors in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis is regular exercise, which can be done with the help of balance platforms. These platforms offer an unstable surface that activates the muscles of the deep stabilization system, improving balance and stability of the body. The thesis is divided into two parts: theoretical and practical. In the theoretical part I describe the anatomy of bones, characteristics of osteoporosis, examination and treatment. I also discuss the topic of sensorimotor stimulation, history, performance, tools, deep stabilization system and balance. The practical part of the study was developed by means of qualitative research in which three patients with diagnosed osteoporosis. Data collection was in the form of case studies, the components of which included anamnesis, input and output kinesiological analyses (containing several tests), posturograph and podoscope examinations. In addition, there is a description of the therapies that took place about 9 weeks. I have set three goals for my work. To chart the issues of people with osteoporosis. Then to build an exercise routine on unstable surfaces. Finally, to create an educational booklet with exercises for osteoporosis patients. My work will focus on the importance of an individual approach to the issues of people with osteoporosis. The work can be used in the clinical practice of physiotherapists or can be used for people who have been diagnosed with osteoporosis.
