Yadav, Asha ; Strnadová, Iva (advisor) ; Šiška, Jan (referee)
I he purpose of the study was to survey mainstream teachers to examine their awareness of strategies, in support of encouraging social interaction among children with autism. In addition, mainstream and special education teachers' recommendations were also explored in relation to better execution of evidence-based classroom strategies. Furthermore, identified weaknesses and teachers' suggestions were used to recommend future training and staff development to enable mainstream teachers to provide the best possible programs for enhancement of social interaction among children with autism in inclusive educational setting. I he responses were gathered from 90 teachers from various cities in Czech Republic where 28 were regular teachers and 62 were special education teachers. Data was collected questionnaire. Regular teachers responses were more focused on to explore the awareness and knowledge of strategics to enhance social interaction among children with autism and special education teachers' responses were focused on recommendation for enhancing teachers' awareness and better implementation of strategies in the classroom.

Contamination of powdered infant formula by Enterobacter sakazakii
Bartovičová, Radka ; Schneidrová, Dagmar (advisor)
Contamination of powdered milk formula with Enterobactersakazakii in recent decades came to the forefront experts on the food hygiene. This hardly detectable gram-negative bacteriacausing especially serious in newborns, in some cases deadly diseases such as are necrotizing enterocolitis, neonatal meningitis or necrotizing meningoencephalitis. Premature infants or infants with low birth masses are most vulnerable to foodborne intoxication E.sakazakii.Kotaminace E.sakazakii milk is not only developing countries but alsodeveloped countries high hygienic standard. To eliminate the risk of infection have been issued best practices of production and preparation of infant milk powderfor babies dairy nutrition. An example is the Directive of the European FoodSafety Authority (EFSA), the standard recommendation of the EuropeanUnion for the preparation of dried baby food and recommendation of the Scientific Committee for Food of the State Health Institute of the Czech Republic. Medical personnel preparing milk formula should be informed of the directives dairy food preparation process and should follow these procedures. is necessary educate health professionals about the fact that the packaging of powdered infant milk formulas not sterile. From this information is based on selecting the appropriate type of nutrition...

Fiscal effects of changes in social insurance
Skrbková, Lucie ; Klazar, Stanislav (advisor) ; Klazar, Stanislav (referee)
I have chosen the theme of social insurance for my bachelor final essay because it is a highly debated topic, and interests me because decisions and changes made in regards to social insurance impact everyone from employees, to entrepreneurs, to employers, to the state for which social insurance is paid on people's behalf, and to people without taxable income. The primary goal of this final essay is to analyze changes in revenues from social insurance, assuming variable factors which cause social insurance revenues to increase or decrease, The variable factors I will focus on include minimum wage, average wage, rate of inflation, and insurance rates. I will also mention and touch upon other factors which could influence the amount of social insurance revenues, such as demographic factors and base limits imposed for individuals. I will outline and analyze which current changes in social insurance are valid for 2009. I will search out revenues from social insurance of common budgets during the period from 1999 to 2008 and then according to this output data, I will answer the question as to why these changes were made. Finally, I will try to find the best statistics model which would sufficiently describe relationships between insurance revenues (as dependent variable) with minimum wage and average wage (as explanatory variables).

The individual protection of citizens during the emergency event in the Břeclav region
JAKUBCOVÁ, Dominika
Individual protection of citizens during the emergency event in the Břeclav region In today´s society a permanent need of sophistication dominates. Common citizens try to acquire the most possible information on all sources available for them. Despite of that there is increasing the number of people, having a sufficient amount of information on the risks, endangering them, however, they do not realize the fact that they are able to prevent a lot of them. From the recent years´ experience I can see how the people´s knowledge in the personal protection sphere is still decreasing. As they are not aware of warning signals, they do not know how to act subsequently and this may have unforeseen subsequence for them. Today and every day the emergency events endanger us, whose course cannot be influenced by us in any way. Most of them appear suddenly, without a preceding warning. Unfortunately we live in the era, when we are threatened not only with the factors within our country, but here is still the actual threat of attack from somewhere else. In our own interest it would be to have the most possible extensive information and knowledge of events around us. Proverb ?To be ready not to be endangered? does not apply so completely, but it is certain that readiness is an important element to survive with minimum damages in property and life. In this thesis there will be summarized the emergency events, endangering us to the most and the related risks for citizens. From this starting point the entire work will proceed, which refers predominantly to individual risks and protection, which can be obtained by a man all by himself. By means of a questionnaire survey there will be ascertained the level of people´s knowledge in the sphere of events during the emergency actions and individual protection.

Obesity its causes and cosequences
Ondráčková, Anna ; Vybíral, Stanislav (advisor) ; Kuda, Ondřej (referee)
Obesity is one of the most common health problems in the Word. Over 500 million adults and over 40 million children are obese. The aim of this work is to summarize findings of causes and consequences of this health problem. Even though in some cases only genetic mutations are responsible for obesity for example mutation in ob gene or Prader-Willi syndrome most cases are caused by lifestyle of people -excessive food intake and insufficient physical activity. There are many health problems accompanying obesity. The most serious problems are metabolic syndrome, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases and cancer. The consequences of obesity are, however, not confined only to health. We can also observe the economic consequences. Financial cost of treatment of obesity and related diseases are estimated in billions of dollars. Pharmacological treatment has so far proved to be ineffective. If drugs are effective, the side effects are so severe that their use is not possible. So far, the adipose tissue hormones that regulate food intake provide the best hope.

Natural Language Processing of Textual Use Cases
Dražan, Jaroslav ; Mencl, Vladimír (advisor) ; Plátek, Martin (referee)
Use cases written in a natural language are usually employed for specifying of functional requirements. The format of a use case is not standardized but use case sentences traditionally adhere to a simple structure and describe actions which are either communication actions (among actors and a designed system), or internal actions. The natural language is used because it is comprehensible for stakeholders and is universal enough to capture most of the requirements but it is difficult to analyze it in an automated way. Vladimír Mencl employed state-of-the-art linguistic tools to extract a behavior of a system under design from textual use cases. The behavior specification is described in form of pro-cases. His work shows that this is possible but he met several issues. In this thesis, we solve some of the issues. We propose an algorithm based on the Mencl's algorithm which allows to process more use cases than the Mencl's one and we describe a metric which evaluate a quality of parse tree. The metric helps to select the best parse tree of a use case step from parse trees generated by different linguistic parsers. It addresses the issue of eliminating an incorrect parse tree returned by a single parser.

Physiotherapy of a displaced disc with reposition of a temporomandibular joint
BROŽKOVÁ, Aya
The topic of my bachelor thesis is physiotherapy of a displaced disc with reposition of a temporomandibular joint. It is a functional disorder, when the mandible disc is not in a physiological position and creates an obstacle for a condyle movement. When mouth is fully opened the disc does not return to its original position. This moment is characteristic with a clicking sound. Another symptom is inclining of the chin to the disordered site when the mouth is being opened. Main cause of TMD is stress, bad occlusion and a long-term micro trauma of TMJ. It is a topical issue, because an increase of stress in daily life causes also more TMD. Almost 70 % of the population has the TMD, in most of the cases the TMJ disc is in a wrong position. The therapy of this kind of disorder should be done by physiotherapist. Unfortunately knowledge of diagnosis and healing of the TMD is not sufficient. The disorder is recognized usually by dentists, who send a patient to a specialized clinic. The goal of my work was examining of mastication and neck muscle spasms. In the work there are also described physiotherapeutic possibilities of healing including postural strategy. I have created informational booklet for patients, in which saving method for TMJ healing, exercises, ergonomic principles and correct posture both when sitting and standing are presented. The research was done by 14 case analysis, analytic-inductive method and experimental work. Patients were randomly divided into three groups. As a first step TMJ and cervical spine of each patient and their posture were examined. The examination of TMJ consisted of diagnosis, extent and symmetry of an opening movement and palpation examination of the cervical spine. Therapy was six weeks long. Each patient was introduced to TMJ saving method, which is based on limitation of a TMJ movement, eating soft food and elimination of stress. In the first group (5 patients) the therapy was focused only on mastication muscles. Patients were supposed to be exercising to loosen the muscles of mastication. Exercises were chosen after palpation examination. Third group (4 patients) did neck muscle exercises and self massage. Second group (5 patients) did the therapy of both first and third group. Results of the therapy show, that there is a possible connection between TMD and cervical spine dysfunction. There were positive (evaluated subjectively) changes in both TMJ and in all groups. The condition of TMJ is influenced by neck muscle therapy and the condition of cervical spine is influenced by mastication muscle therapy. Best results had the second group. All patients but one improved (one lady had a TMJ inflammation). There were no deterioration of TMJ and cervical spine condition either. There were some worsening in group one and three. The best therapy is a combination of exercises of both mastication and neck muscles. I would like to point out a fact that TMJ is one of the most complicated and busy joints in human body. Both TMJ are connected to mandible so dysfunction of one joint can lead to problems with the other one. Physiotherapy is needed most in cases of functional disorder.
