Polarized Radiative Transfer in Solar Atmosphere
Štěpán, Jiří ; Heinzel, Petr (advisor) ; Degĺ Innocenti, Egidio Landi (referee) ; Bueno, Javier Trujillo (referee)
The adequate theoretical models of the NLTE radiative transfer are needed for interpretation of the complicated spectra emerging from the magnetized solar atmosphere. In the first part of the thesis, the quantum theory of polarization is reviewed along with the problem of NLTE radiative transfer of the 2nd kind. A general notation for a numerical treatment of the atomic density matrix is introduced. A lambda-operator splitting technique is presented and used for development of a novel preconditioning method analogous to the Jacobi iteration algorithm. Number of processes is taken into account: atomic polarization, level-crossings, Paschen-Back effect, Hanle and Zeeman effects, optical pumping, collisional (de)polarization. A nonlinear multigrid technique is developed in the framework of polarized radiative transfer theory and the eficiency of the method is discussed. The potential of this new solver is demonstrated on an example of transfer of the optically thick line of a multiterm atom in the Paschen-Back effect regime. In the second part of the thesis, the particular problem of impact polarization of the hydrogen H-alpha line in solar flares is considered. The semi-empirical models of the flaring chromosphere are used to find the differential effects of the proton beam on the line intensity and linear...

Machalová Iva, prim. MUDr. Jiří Veselý Number of pages: 125 Number of annexes: 10 Year of defence: 2010 Key words: education, diabetes mellitus, selfmonitoring of diabetes, glucose blood, glycaemic haemoglobin Bachelor thesis is about education of diabetics in the area of selfmonitoring. Theoretical part of this thesis is oriented on education which is essential part of treatment and on the meaning of education, goals, phases, form, resources of education, organisation and contents. This part further demonstrates dilemma of selfmonitoring that is selfmonitoring of glucose blood, glycaemic haemoglobin, selfmonitoring of ketonuria and glycosuria, weight and blood pressure monitoring. An emphasis of this thesis consist in a quantitative research investigation of knowledge in the area of selfmonitoring of glycaemia by diabetics in Broumov - Regional hospital of Náchod. Diabetics were separated into two age groups: 20-59 years and 60 years and more. Resulting information should be due to education similar in both groups of diabetics. Outcome of this thesis is proposal of educational...

Puritans and Indians - cultural conflict in the 17th century New England
Kašpárek, Jakub ; Procházka, Martin (referee) ; Robbins, David Lee (advisor)
As the first Anglo-Indian war in colonial New England, the Pequot War has proven to be the subject of extensive scholarly discussion and, what is more, controversy. If considered from a broader perspective, it is only recently that various reactions against racial intolerance in the U.S. triggered tendencies that have been gradually building up their share in renegotiations of the numerous misleading assumptions and stereotypes about the Indian-Puritan relations held over many generations. Such treatment of historical material holds true not only for the apologists, but revisionist scholars in particular and quite interestingly, however, even today both approaches still manifest a certain amount of need for negotiating the middle ground. Such statements are primarily based on, and to quote from many, the demonstrated extensive vilification of Indians and victimization of the Puritans, including the frequent dismissal of the Puritan aggressive attempts at renegotiations of indigenous cultural identities on part of the apologists. As for some of the revisionist approaches, their treatment of this historical material may also be considered flawed, based on their hesitance to examine in a more profound manner the Puritan mindset, which had been so heavily driving their actions, at the expense of explaining the...

Format RAW and Its Utilization for Company Promotion
Sulanská, Tereza ; Šedivá, Zuzana (advisor) ; Sabolčák, Peter (referee)
RAW formats are becoming the new trend in digital photography. It is raw data which can be edited by the computer means. This way brings many advantages but also some disadvantages. Files are smaller than the TIFF format and do not lose quality like the JPEG format. Special software is necessary for editing and obtaining the highest quality images requires more time and practice. There are many programs for editing and converting RAW files on the market today, from the simplest freeware programs to the professional tools for several thousand crowns. This thesis deals with an explanation of all the advantages and disadvantages of RAW formats, describes and compares five RAW converters and a practical example demonstrates the possibility of special picture treatment methods.

Knowledge and skill level of high school students in terms of giving non-professional first aid
Křižanová, Alžběta ; Kuhnová, Věra (referee) ; Pokorný, Ladislav (advisor)
Synopsis (annotation) This work is dealing with mapping the level and skills of high school students in terms of giving first aid. Isuggest how first aid should be optimally presented in school teaching, placed into syllabus and verified in practice. This study includes 3parts. The first part is theoretical and focuses on general characteristics of the most common injuries and problems which can occur in people's lives. I describe the right treating methods and also the most common mistakes in treatment. I suggest how first aid should be optimally presented in schools teaching and placed into syllabus. The second part is practical and I created atest for high school students. Consequently, I processed the data and evaluated them in graphs and charts. I supplemented this part with model situations in which students demonstrated the resuscitation method and recovery position. In the third part, I compare the reached results to anticipated hypothesis and aims of my work.

In situ Luminescence Detection of Singlet Oxygen
Vyklický, Vojtěch ; Dědic, Roman (advisor) ; Mojzeš, Peter (referee)
The thesis summarises already published results of singlet oxygen luminiscence detection in relation to photodynamic therapy treatment. The spectroscopic and photosensitising properties of the photosensitizer TMPyP and their comparison with already published properties of TPPS4 are presented. Also the inuence of phosphatidylcholine on photosensitising properties of TPP and singlet oxygen lifetime was investigated. The thesis is mainly focused on adaptation and optimisation of experimental setup for singlet oxygen luminescence deteciton from the surface of solid samples with time and spectral resolution using optical fibres with luminescence probe. The usability was tested on polymer matrix (PMMA or polystyrene) containing protoporphyrine IX. Finally, the kinetics of singlet oxygen phosphorescence measured from surface of thin layer of 3T3 murine fibroblasts containing TPPS4 or TMPyP are presented. Thereby the feasibility of singlet oxygen detection in situ was demonstrated using this setup.

Oxidative damage by organic extracts from urban air particulate matter
Hanzalová, Kateřina ; Rössner, Pavel (advisor) ; Machala, Miroslav (referee)
The aim of this master thesis was to investigate the ability of selected individual carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (c-PAHs: benzo[a]pyrene, B[a]P; dibenzo[a,l]pyrene, DB[a,l]P), an artificial mixture of c-PAHs (c-PAH mix) and extractable organic matter (EOM) from urban air particulate matter (PM) to induce oxidative damage in vitro. Two cell lines (human hepatoma cells, HepG2, and human diploid lung fibroblasts, HEL) were treated for 24 h and 48 h with various concentrations of compounds or mixtures. The studied oxidative stress markers included 8-oxodeoxyguanosine (8-oxodG) as a marker of oxidative DNA damage, 15-F2t-isoprostane (15-F2t-IsoP) as a marker of lipid peroxidation and protein carbonyl groups as a marker of oxidative damage to proteins. The response of the cell lines to the tested compounds and mixtures differed substantially. In summary the results demonstrate the ability of EOM to induce oxidative damage to DNA and lipids after 24 h of treatment and to proteins after 48 h, in HepG2 cells. The effect of c-PAHs was substantially less. The induction of oxidative damage by c- PAHs and EOM in HEL cells was weak. Since c-PAHs had lower ability to cause oxidative damage that was limited only to longer incubation periods, it is probable that other components of EOM are responsible for...
