Spirometry
Vyškovský, Daniel ; Slávik, Vladimír (referee) ; Janoušek, Oto (advisor)
This work presents spirometric measurements on a group of volunteers. First of all the physiology of respiration is explained. Further the theory necessary for measurement and analysis of respiration parameters is mentioned. A separate chapter contains information about ventilation disorders with focus on obstructive diseases. The measurement methodology is described in the analysis section. The program developed for automatic spirometric signal analysis is described in the next section. Parameters obtained from the program are statistically analysed and compared for physiological and obstructive state. Changes, which the individual parameters represent in relation to the simulated obstruction, are discussed. The appendix section contains a report to be used for laboratory lessons together with the developed program.

Comparison of microscopic and instrumental results of individual blood cell types with a focus on platelets
DRÁBOVÁ, Michaela
The aim of my thesis is to determine the number of platelets with different methods; then to determine the cause of the measured differences in the number of platelets, followed by determination of algorithm for reliable counting of platelets. In specific situations, the instrument determination of the levels of platelets may be significantly different from the real situation. The actual number of platelets can be obtained by using alternative methods. Microscopic assessment and determination of the number of platelets in sodium citrate are considered as alternative methods. Hypothesis I. When using alternative methods, different results are obtained in part of the population. Hypothesis II. These alternative methods help us to distinguish between true and false thrombocytopenia. The theoretical part deals with the formation, structure, physiology, function, metabolism and characteristics of platelets. The term of thrombocytopenia is defined. Quality control of laboratory analyzes is mentioned. Different anticoagulant products used in hematology are described. There are also described techniques by which platelets can be determined and interference associated with the measurement of blood cells. The practical part includes the processing of biological material in a test-tube with the purple cap containing anticoagulant EDTA (from this test-tube a complete blood count is provided), while a test-tube with the blue cap contains anticoagulant sodium citrate (this test-tube is only for re-determination of the platelets count). Analysis of biological material was performed by the analyzer Coulter LH 750, Beckman Coulter Inc. The Coulter method measures the size of blood cells due to changes in electrical resistance. Manual processing of biological material was performed using a light microscope Carl Zeiss Inc., the total magnification for observation of platelets is 400 times. Number of platelets is evaluated in Bürker chamber in 20 rectangles. Solution of procaine is used to stabilize and highlight the platelets. In the period of 23rd April - 22nd May 2012 at the department of Clinical Hematology, Nemocnice České Budějovice a.s., I examined the platelets count in two different anticoagulants by using different measurement techniques. This comparison is important because if the difference in the number of platelets found in EDTA anticoagulant compared with sodium citrate is higher than 20 %, the samples could be suspected of pseudothrombocytopenia. The measurement included fifty samples which were selected already with some suspicion according to following two criteria: the platelets count had to fall below 100 x 10^9/l and at the same time we had received analyzer report of the presence of clumps. The measured values of platelets were statistically processed and they are shown in charts and graphs in my thesis. For a better idea there are also pictures - especially histograms showing some changes in the number and volume of blood cells. This research has demonstrated the occurrence of the phenomenon PTCP in 0,052% cases. The difference between the techniques was clearly evident. Microscopy does not reach such accurate results as analyzers. Quantity of samples and speed of implementation can not be compared. Nowadays microscopy is used as an auxiliary technique in those cases where the analyzer is too affected by imperfections (for example formation of clumps) that it gives false platelets count. The disadvantage is the time delay from the sampling to the possibility of counting. By alternative methods we reach eventual verification or modification of first results (for example repeated sampling to another anticoagulant).

Černý, Martin ; Šlajchrt, Zbyněk (advisor) ; Pecinovský, Rudolf (referee)
The aim of this diploma thesis is to implement a presentation layer for the Reminiscence Computer Therapy application. Reminiscence Therapy involves the discussion of the past memories and it is believed to help people with dementia to improve their well-being and sustain their memories. Computer Reminiscence Therapy involves technology in this therapy. The research introduces into Dementia and Reminiscence Therapy with and without using technologies. The application developed as part of this diploma thesis uses picture upload and speech recognition techniques for the memory input. This is used to support remembering of past memories and to increase discussion. The application can be used with or without the carer as well as with friends and family members. The six most important requirements on the developed application are the speech recognition, picture upload, asking questions about the previous recordings, asking questions about tagged friends, using old stories for discussion and presenting the statistics. The application was developed as a part of the competition made by AngelHack organization. Presentation, business and persistence layers of the application are discussed in this diploma thesis as well as user manual and persistence layer implementation of the requirements. The presentation layer was developed using React framework for JavaScript. Other libraries have to be used as well with the most important being Redux library for storing application state. This library affected the structure of the persistence layer.

Stojanová, Kateřina
The aim of the dissertation on the topic of "Status of organic farming in the Southern Moravia region with a focus on organic viniculture and winemaking" was, within the literary overview, to characterize principles and condition of organic farming in the Czech Republic with a focus on the viniculture and winemaking. The aim of the experimental part of the thesis was to elaborate general overview of the subjects registered in the system of organic farming in the Southern Moravia region. The overview of organic subjects in the Southern Moravia region was elaborated from the publicly accessible data MZe CR (Ministry of Agriculture) which were analysed and the results were elaborated into the charts and graphs. The subjects of the organic grapevine producers and manufacturers were characterized in detail. The questionnaire for the grapevine producers and manufacturers was created to take care of the situation while running the organic viniculture and winemaking in practice (finding out negatives and positives). The feedback of the research was higher than 50%. The crucial findings are following: the interest in the organic grapevine producing and manufacturing is constantly rising with the help of not only financial support, but also the interest to protect nature and consumers. On the other hand the disadvantage of the organic farminf is higher demands on manual work and knowledge of the farmer.

Austová, Lucia ; Jílek, Josef (advisor) ; Halás, Vladimír (referee)
An objective of my graduation thesis is an analysis of hedge funds and hedge strategies while reflecting the distribution of the investments to right portfolio taking into account the risk. The main aim is to provide clear and consistent classification of whole variety of different hedge styles and strategies. There are plenty of different investment and trading strategies of hedge funds and their classification differs from analyst to analyst and from database to database. The work focuses on finding an alternative consistent classification of hedge funds which will lead to improvement of investment decisions of financial market participants, to effective distribution of the investment portfolio and therefore to elimination of undiversified risks. For the practical analysis I use real data of hedge fund returns of particular relevant time period. I focus on research and description of possible methods of hedge fund classification mentioning their pluses and minuses. After passionate evaluation of each method I have chosen two methods according to which I classify the hedge funds datasets and finally I compare the results of both. The theoretical part of work focuses on definition of hedge funds, hedge styles and strategies, pluses and minuses as well as risk accompanying particular strategy.
