Verification of a New Canine Training Method for the Human Scent Identification
Haffner, Martin ; Pinc, Ludvík (advisor) ; Jaroslav, Jaroslav (referee)
Scent identification is a forensic method which is used in many countries. Principle of this method is always the same, but in each country are used different processes. This method is based on comparison of an odor collected at the crime scene and an odor collected from the suspect.
The aim of this study was to verify new methodology designed by Dr. Adee Schoon. This method consists of different dog training methodologies. In the commonly used method the dog gets an odor from his handler to sniff at before each particular line-up. This is match to sample method. That means the dog is able to compare two samples from the same person. In the modified methodology a dog once sniffs at the single odor placed on the ground. After distracting odors are added the dog is supposed to alert to the matching odor again. Thus the method under testing is more like based on the detection of target odor than on match-to-sample scenario.
Human odor samples were collected from palms of hands, metal tubes and the object belonging to the same person. Experimental persons were asked to wash their hands and let them to dry freely. At first, sorbent material Aratex was placed to palms of these persons for fifteen minutes and then it was closed and sealed in odorless glass jars. Then the metal tubes were given to hold to experimental persons for five minutes. After this time metal tubes were placed into glass jars with odorless Aratex which was later used as scent samples. The metal tubes were removed from glass jars after thirty minutes. Scent samples from objects were collected similarly as from metal tubes, these samples served as a corpus delict. The starting scent samples and target scent samples were collected by a different persons. Additional odors were collected using the same protocol and under similar conditions, so none of the odor samples in a line-up were more attractive for the dog than the others.
For the training three years old female belgian shepherd malinois was used, trained by the author of the project. Intrinsic matching procedure was always three times repeated. At first, the dog sniffed at the scent sample from the palms of hands. The line-up was arranged of scent samples collected from metal tubes and objects. One of these scent samples was the target scent (metal tubes). After comparison of metal tubes scents, the target scent was replaced by a scent sample collected from corpus delicti. In case the dog correctly indicated target scent, the result was recorded as correct.
For statistical evaluation Bernoulli distribution was used (P < 0.01). Over the whole experiment only one dog was used, and so it cannot be concluded that this method is easier for the dog than the traditional one, however the study demonstrated that such a method is basically usable as a tool by which dogs can be trained to identify individual human scents. Fischer´s test did not show any differences between comparisons based on the type of an object.

New political parties in Slovakia after the parliamentary election in year 2010 and 2012
Ambrózyová, Miroslava ; Müller, Karel (advisor) ; Smetanková, Daša (referee)
The Slovak political party system was shaken by new political parties, that emerged just recently and strongly influenced the political scene. The aim of the paper was to find out, what was the key of success of the the new political parties, which made it to the parliament in the parliamentary elections in June 2010 and in march 2012. In order to reach this goal I research the circumstances which lead to the establishment of these parties, their election program, the governmental period, the campaign and the role of the party leader. The paper is divided into four chapters, out of which the chapter one is dedicated to the teoretical background and definitions, the second chapter is putting light on the Slovak party and election system, the chapter three and four are the analytical core of the paper, in which I analyze the the political parties SaS, Most-Híd and OĽaNO in the above mentioned areas. I conclude the analytical part by the anlysis of the election results do the Slovak parliament in year 2010 and the preliminary election in the year 2012.

Remodelace kostí po náhradě kyčelního kloubu. Numerické modelování a srovnání s klinickými pozorováními
Klika, Václav ; Maršík, František ; Landor, I.
The stress-strain changes in the surroundings of the hip-joint implant have dramatic impact on the response from the living bone tissue – by the remodeling process. This process is divided into three stages that can be described by five ordinary differential equations for the concentrations of five relevant chemical components. The driving force for the remodeling process is the dynamic loading. It is apparent that the joint implant creates a very new condition for natural remodeling process. In presented paper we simulate the consequences caused by remodeling phenomenon and compare it to clinical studies.

Daniel Adam of Veleslavín and his dictionaries
Černá, Alena M.
Daniel Adam of Veleslavín is one of the most significant figures in Czech cultural history and is included the school curriculum, yet there is minimal scholarly literature on his life and work. There are not even any existing modern editions of his dictionaries. In addition, information on these dictionaries is often incorrect, for example, the frequent claim that his quadrilingual dictionary Nomenclator quadrilinguis, Boemico-Latino-Graeco-Germanicus (Prague 1598) is merely another version of his earlier trilingual dictionary, published as Nomenclator omnium rerum propria nomina tribus linguis, Latina, Boiemica, Germanica explicata continens (Praha 1586), expanded to include the Greek language. This article provides convincing evidence that these are two independent and newly created works with differing templates. The older Nomenclator is based on the dictionary by the Dutch physician, historian and philologist Hadrian Junius, while the younger one is a reworked version of the dictionary by the German scholar Helfricus Emmelius. The two works vary immensely in both the macrostructure and microstructure of their entries. The Czech language sections of the two dictionaries also vary and it is apparent that Daniel Adam did not automatically adopt the newer dictionary of his original work, rather, he revised it, altered it slighlty and improved it overall.

PCR based assay for detection garden pea lec gene
Vráblík, Aleš ; Hodek, Jan ; Ovesná, Jaroslava
The method was developed and verified by staff of National reference laboratory for GMO identification and DNA fingerprinting suited for governmental control laboratories and private laboratories that analyze food and feed derived from various plant matrices. Method can be applied for quantification of GM pea in a sample, when reference gene is used as a standard. The method describe internal garden pea specific gene, lektin in this case, detection using PCR and real-time PCR. The general principle of the assay relies on lektin specific sequence presence that represents a species specific gene of garden pea. In many matrices DNA is damaged so amplification of short stretches of DNA is used. After amplification of target exploiting newly developer species specific gene primers PCR products are separated by electrophoresis in agarose gel. Resulting band is visualized by UV light and its position is compare with size standard. Alternatively, real-time PCR and ABI platform in combination with SYBR® Green can be used. Reaction parameters are described and specificity of reaction was verified. LOD as well as LOQ was defined.

Supply-side performance and structure in the Czech republic (1995-2005)
Dybczak, Kamil ; Flek, Vladislav ; Hájková, Dana ; Hurník, Jaromír
In this paper, writers apply the aggregate production function to approximate the path of potential output. Writers use a time-varying NAIRU to derive the amount of potential labour and a newly developed measure of capital services to account for the productive impact of capital. In addition, trend total factor productivity is estimated. Production functions for the key sectors (Agriculture, Industry, etc.) are also calculated, exploring the growth accounting approach and decomposition of total factor productivity growth.

Granger Causality Evidence
Horváth, Roman ; Seidler, Jakub ; Weill, Laurent
This paper examines the relation between banks’ capital and liquidity creation. This issue is of interest to determine the potential impact of higher capital requirements for banks on their liquidity creation, which may have particular importance with new Basel III reform demanding from banks higher capital. We perform Granger-causality tests in a dynamic GMM panel estimator framework on an exhaustive dataset of Czech banks from 2000 to 2010.
