Ankylosing Spondylitis: Comparison of Diagnostic Methods and Digital 3D Model Production
Mikešová, Kateřina ; Jelen, Karel (advisor) ; Kubový, Petr (referee)
Title:Ankylosing spondylitis, comparision of diagnostic methods and production of digital 3D model Aim: The aim of this thesis was to explore the issue of diagnosis of ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Describe the investigative methods used to diagnose and monitor the progress of the disease and try to create 3D geometric model of two vertebrae from magnetic resonance images (MRI) has demonstrated the possibilities of this process and possibly illustrate the pathological processes taking place on the monitored vertebrae. Method: The thesis is elaborated in the form of annotated literature review. They were used the available literature sources from which the information was drawn for determination of pathological processes, clinical symptoms, diagnostic methods and on therapy in AS. The practical part is used for creating 3D model of MR images in the program Scanview and Amira program for creating 3D objects. Software has Amira correction options and adding image data with a lack of meaningful that MR images show. Keywords: ankylosing spondylitis, diagnostic methods, 3D model, magnetic resonance imaging Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Constituents of Helianthus annuus Flowers
Dresler, Jiří ; Jahodář, Luděk (advisor) ; Karlíčková, Jana (referee)
The aim of this work was carring out the phytochemical analysis of latter part of the ethanolic extract of ligulate flowers from common sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.). This ethanolic extract was subjected to crystallization by decreasing temperature and resulting suspension was separated by filtration and subsequent purification. We obtained two kinds of crystals: K2 and K4. In case of K2 krystals is obvious, that this compound is consistent neither with kaurenoic acid nor stigmasterol. The NMR results, however, suggest the chemical resemblance to kaurenoic acid and that investigated substances are not kaurenoic esters. The K4 crystals differ from K2 on TLC. We can claim (on the basis of TLC results) that K4 is chemically pure substance and is also not identical with kaurenoic acid as well as stigmasterol. The NMR analysis of K4 crystals is still in progress.

The progress of burial in early medieval agglomerations and location towns on Žatec as an example
Marethová, Barbara ; Sláma, Jiří (referee) ; Klápště, Jan (advisor)
Rozsáhlé archeologické výzkumy, které proběhly v minulém desetiletí především na žatecké ostrožně, odkryly několik očekávaných i dosud nemámých raně středověkých pohřebišť. Do té doby bylo v žatecké sídelní aglomeraci evidováno jen několik dokladů pohřbívání, pocházejících především ze starších výzkumů, často bez bližších nálezových okolností. Naopak ze středověkých písemných pramenů se vědělo o více než tuctu sakrálních staveb, které stávaly v městském jádru a na okolních předměstích. To vedlo k tomu, že rekonstrukce osídlení přemyslovského správního centra donedávna postrádala pevnější opory, a to především pro lokalizaci jednotlivých kostelů a jejich souvislostí s hrobovými celky. Zpracování nově prozkoumaných pohřebišť v Dvořákově ulici, na Chelčického náměstí a na náměstí Jana Žižky otevírá možnost porovnání vývoje pohřebního ritu pro období raného i vrcholného středověku a zároveň dovoluje zaměřit se na problematiku počátku pohřbívání při sakrálních stavbách. Díky proměně raně středověké aglomerace v institucionalizovaný městský útvar, lze v Žatci pozorovat vliv postupující urbanizace na uspořádání jednotlivých funerálních areálů. K posouzení se dále nabízí komparace s topografickou situací pohřebních areálů v jiných výmarnných centrech přemyslovských Čech.

qualities and skills of nurses from the perspective of nurses and patients
FIEDLEROVÁ, Miroslava
Nursing develops and becomes a field with scientific base and well-educated employees. Thanks to that, nursing care is safer and of better quality. Nurses obtain prestige, importance and autonomy. The aim of this thesis is to map haw the nurses perceive their the features and skills and what is the view of patients of the same features and skills of nurses. The research was performed using the quantitative method in the form of a non-standardised questionnaire. The research was aimed at opinion of nurses and patients and so the first research set consisted of general nurses and the second set consisted of patients of hospital wards and ambulances. There were used two types of questionnaires ? one of them designed for general nurses and the other one for patients. The questionnaires contained identical questions so as we could perform a comparative analysis of answers from nurses and patients. The data analysis proved that general nurses assess their practical and communication skills better than the patients. It was also established that patients consider the communication skills of nurses to be the most important skill, while nurses stated for their practical skills to be the most important part of nursing care. When comparing the results, significant differences were established in answers of both of the groups. It concerned mainly the field of communication skills of nurses. The patients selected negative answers to questions whether nurses ask the patients for their opinions and whether the nurses know how to communicate with families of nurses. The negative findings confirmed that the communication field remains to be a problem in nursing and that more attention should be paid to it. It is significant to train the communication skills of nurses.

The demographic development of the European Union
Dotlačilová, Petra ; Langhamrová, Jitka (advisor) ; Sekničková, Jana (referee)
The aim of this Master's thesis is to describe the past and future demographic development of selected EU countries. The second aim is to utilize methods for multicriteria evaluation of alternatives in the demography. The last aim is to describe methods used to extrapolate mortality curves. The theoretical part describes demographic indicators, methods used to extrapolate mortality curves and computational processes for methods for multicriteria evaluation of alternatives. The practical part includes the computation of demographic indicators and describes the progress of the indicators in the future. The methods for multicriteria evaluation of alternatives are used for ranking selected EU countries according to the demographic indicators. The last part of the thesis includes the application of methods used for extrapolating mortality curves and compares the achieved results with the actual progress.
