Cognition test for testing object permanence in birds and primates
Marhounová, Lucie ; Landová, Eva (advisor) ; Veselý, Petr (referee)
Object permanence is a cognitive ability to mentally represent the existence and the movement of hidden objects. This phenomenon is being developed since birth in six different stages following the development of the sensorimotor intelligence. Not only the humans but also the other animals possess a certain notion of hidden objects and acquire various degrees of this ability depending on their life strategies. This thesis summarizes the research conducted up to the present in the field of the object permanence within the infant developmental psychology, but particularly in the animal world with the emphasis on the taxa where this ability has been most researched, that is in primates and birds. This thesis also recapitulates the types of the cognitive tasks used in the object permanence research and compares the methods of experiments applied to the humans, the primates and the birds. Part of this thesis also involves a phylogenetic reconstruction estimate of the ancestral character status in terms of the object permanence and testing the progress dependance of such character in relation to the selected ecological factors in primates.

Hurda, Jan ; Scholleová, Hana (advisor) ; Fantová, Eva (referee)
The main goal of this Diploma thesis is to determine the investment value of T-Mobile Czech Republic a.s. with the objective to sell the minor share to its major shareholder. This thesis is divided into a theoretically-methodological and analytical part. In the theoretically-methodological part basic conceptions and key factors, applied valuation procedure and methods are described. For the valuation a discounted free cash flow to the firm method in a two stage model was used. As the basis for the calculation of the company's future investment value a strategic and financial analysis was performed. Resulting from these two analyses, key value generators were forecast and subsequently served as the backbone for the creation of the financial plan. This financial plan was the main source for the discounted cash flow valuation method application.

Word That Matters. Humanity and Ethics in the Thought of Emmanuel Lévinas
Vik, Dalibor ; Vogel, Jiří (advisor) ; Pelcová, Naděžda (referee) ; Altrichter, Michal (referee)
In five chapters, this thesis traces the question of humanity in the thought of the French philosopher Emmanuel Lévinas, mainly in his works De l'évasion (1935), De l'existence à l'existant (1947), Totalité et infini (1961) and Éthique comme philosophie première (1982), which represent various stages of his philosophical development. It offers an exposition of Lévinas's most original concepts, follows their development and sketches their parallel and/or polemic concepts in the European thought, placing them within the context of Lévinas's life-work. For Lévinas, the question of humanity appears as a transpostition of the question of God, who can not become an object of rational inquiry. In conclusion, the question of humanity becomes the theological issue par excellence. This study tries to show how theology can draw inspiration from Lévinas's concepts in various manners: (1) methodology: Lévinas shows what happens to our thought when we follow the principle Sein-lassen in questionning God and when we take this principle as a basis of our theological research; (2) re-thinking: Lévinas offers a critical revision of traditional theological concepts and endows them with existential meaning, (3) marginalized phenomena: Lévinas thoroughly analyzes phenomena, which has been neglected or marginalized by the...

Approaches to computer cognition of musical recordings
Kadlec, Jan ; Majerech, Vladan (advisor) ; Obdržálek, David (referee)
In our study we deal with various stages of human cognition of real-life musical signals, create their models and discuss their implementation. The rst part compares time-frequency representations and their factorization into sinusoids and background noise. We combine various approaches to coupling sinusoids into trajectories. Next we examine methods for the estimation of note parameters from trajectories and methods for musical instrument classi cation. The nal part focuses on global music-theoretical features of recordings such as tempo, melodic phrases, chord accompaniment or key.

Changes in body weight during the life of women
VELKOVÁ, Eva
The bachelor thesis summarizes basic information about the changes of body weight throughout the woman´s life and dedicates to their issues. It deals with risk periods during the life of women related to body weight changes and presents the current scientific findings and recommendations in this area. In this work, two objectives were set. The first objective was to detect changes in a body weight during a woman's life, another objective was to determine how women are informed about changes in their body weight. The theoretical part describes the changes in the body weight at different stages of the life of women. Here, it deals principally with the increasing body weight and the related need to achieve and maintain an optimal weight. It also describes the recommended energy and biological value of food in the various essential periods of women, which has some influence on their body weight. It also deals with the principles of a proper diet and lifestyle. In particular, it focuses on the main elements, namely: the adequacy of energy intake with respect to the need and expenditure, the distribution of food in different parts of the day, an exercise, prevention of stress and getting enough sleep. In the practical part there are presented results of the research focused on the issue outlined above. The research, carried out in a questionnaire form, is dedicated to the body weight at different critical periods, the analyzing somatometric data, eating habits after the onset of menopause and awareness of this issue by women of the South-Bohemian region. It results from the results of the work that women changed their weight after menopause as compared with their previous weight. By contrast, the research shows that women did not change their eating habits in this critical period at all. The research also shows that women do not have enough information on the justness to keep their body weight, not to increase the weight after menopause. The research further shows that women have no information on the principles of the healthy diet in the period after postmenopausal.

The Assesment of the Influences of the Education on the Preschool Children and Teen-agers for the Acquiring of the Basis of Christian Faith and the Formation of their Christian Life
BŮŽKOVÁ, Miroslava
The aim of the presented theses is to discover and to compare the impacts of the education on the children in the preschool care and on the schoolchildren (teen-agers) as far as the acquiring of the basis of the Christianity as a religion and the formation of their life as Christians. In principle the corn of the theses lies in the assessment of the influence of different factors (as the family, friends, priest, Christian broadcasting, literature, participation of the parish activities) on the Christian faith of children and young people. In other words, whether the formation of the Christian life gained through the family (from birth up) has a more stabile and permanent experiences with God than the faith acquired at a later stage of growing up. The methods of testing, of questionnaire survey and the method of monitoring the behaviour of children and young people were used in the theses. The outcome of my research was the finding, that even if some adolescents have an interest in the matters of faith and God, this meeting with the religion does not form deep relationships to the faith as such and to the God. Only by a slight number of the young people has such a late cognition an influence on the formation of their future Christian life. By contrast, the acquiring of the Christian faith from the childhood on has other difficulties. The Christian faith of children faces the misunderstanding of classmates and later on of an atheist partner. Fort the maintenance of the faith of the adolescents the factors like family values, stand-points and patterns are of special importance.

An immunohistologic charakterisation of human prostate cancer.
Kotlabová, Kateřina ; Semecký, Vladimír (advisor) ; Louda, Miroslav (referee)
In the last three years prostatic carcinoma reachs the first place in the ledder of number of new reported tumour diseases in male population. Although in most cases it is a relatively well curable affection, the research of new methods and procedures in the prostatic carcinoma diagnostics is very intensive, because the main point of successful therapy is the disclosure of early ( curable ) stages of disease. This graduate work gives the integral summary of histological and immunohistochemical methods, which are possible to be used in the prostatic carcinoma diagnostics. Histological examination based on the apprasial of the cell shape and characteristic cell structures permits to pass a judgement over the presence or absence of tumour changes, which has a high diagnostic and prognostic value. In the cases where the classic histological analysis failed, the special immunohistochemical methods are used by the clinical workers. Immunohistochemistry is based on the reaction of specific antibody and antigen, which has a receptor, enzymatic or transcription factor function in the cell and its presence ( absence ) or the expression intensity is characteristic for malignant or benign tissue which is examined. The content of this work is primarily synoptic enumeration of using immunohistochemical markers...
