C++ Object Persistency Using Object/Relational Databases
Čermák, Petr ; Skopal, Tomáš (referee) ; Kopecký, Michal (advisor)
This thesis deals with design and implementation of a library providing object-relational mapping services for programs written in C++. Emphasis is put on its transparency and ease of its use. To achieve these goals the library uses GCCXML, a XML output extension to GCC. GCCXML helps the library to get description of the class model used in the user application and to simulate the reflection. For the mapping purposes, new object-relational database features are discussed and a new mapping type is proposed. Implementation of the library is based on three related projects - the POLiTe, POLiTe 2 and IOPC libraries. The proposed and implemented library unifies them into one solid, flexible and extensible platform. Thanks to its modular architecture, the resulting library can be used in several configurations providing subsets of implemented services - database access, reflection and object-relational mapping.

Physical mapping of centromeric and terminal markers of linkage groups in Xenopus tropicalis
Tůmová, Lucie ; Krylov, Vladimír (advisor) ; Nedvídek, Josef (referee)
Xenopus tropicalis belongs together with its related genus Xenopus laevis to important model organisms on the field of study of developmental processes. In comparison to well introduced models (i.e. Melanogaster, Mus etc.) for Xenopus tropicalis there is an absence of linkage and physical maps that have invaluable importance for the identification of developmentally relevant genes, including their syntheny with human. Currently, there exists provisional linkage map constructed by scientific group of Department of Biology and Biochemistry, University of Huston, Texas, USA. It is constituted of ten linkage groups (LG1-LG10) and six linkage clusters (A-F) composed by total of 1713 Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) polymorphic markers. The laboratory of developmental biology, Charles University in Prague, participates in completing the linkage map by physical mapping of chosen polymorphic markers on chromosomes Xenopus tropicalis, which led to allocation of each linkage group and cluster to the right chromosome and to assessment of the orientation in most of them. The physical mapping of terminal markers will show us, how far chromosomes are covered with linkage groups and which areas still remain unmapped. The cooperative laboratory from National Institute for Medical Research, London, UK, originated a list of...

Accounts of knowledge: ageless features?
Poppová, Andrea ; Kučera, Miloš (advisor) ; Klusák, Miroslav (referee)
My dissertation is about friendship and its ageless features. Friendship is a close relationship most often between two people and is characteristic by - mutuality, intimacy: trust, need of closeness, sharing of experience, positive appreciation and unconditional acceptance. Thanks to mutuality are friends able to share various personal experiences, opinions and feelings. Thanks to deeper understanding of both individuals is possible to create functional and satisfying friendship. The friendship among people does exist for long centuries and I would like to show the difference between nowadays and the age of Aristoteles and his point of view. It is a comparison of present respondents, interviews and created map of terms to map of terms created from concept of Aristoteles. My work wants to show that friendship today is actually quite the same as many years ago in the time of Aristoteles. Of course with little changes especially in the area of free time and its spending. Many interesting facts have come from my interviews and they actually match those written by Aristoteles in his famous work Nicomachos' Ethics. After interviews I found out that friendship between respondents is understood like relationship between two people which is intimate-life and death friendship- and essential parts of friendship are...

Techniques and instruments of decision making under risk for one-phase decision problems.
Horčička, Jan ; Švecová, Lenka (advisor) ; Fotr, Jiří (referee)
This thesis is focused on decision models for decision making under risk and uncertainty. The thesis should give a comprehensive insight about individual decision criteria and the reader should form a clear picture about usability of these models for solving particular decision problems. The thesis tries to provide objective point of view to the reader with highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of each model. In the frame of decision making under risk, the thesis mentions the expected value rule, the rule of expected value and variance and the stochastic dominance rules. For the field of decision making under uncertainty, the thesis brings up the Laplace's criterion, the Hurwicz's criterion and Savage's regret criterion. The thesis further deal with the theory of expected utility. It brings up the method of construction of the utility curve, methods of usage and also known deficiencies of the theory when used in real world situations. In connection with utility theory, the thesis introduces the expected utility rule. For mapping future development, the thesis work with probability trees and explains their usability for modeling situations under risk and uncertainty. For all of the featured decision criteria, the work shows their applicative usage by using a prefigurative example. The reader should therefore know, how to proceed when using mentioned models for solving real decision problems.

Multilinguism - learning a second foreign language
Hanušová, Alena ; Vachková, Marie (referee) ; Berglová, Eva (advisor)
The subject of this graduation thesis is "Multilinguism and Learning a Second Foreign Language". The concept of multilinguism maintains the importance of all languages, not only English, in today's multicultural world. The knowledge of mother tongue and the first foreign language can have a significant influence on learning a second foreign language. The thesis deals with the impact of these substances for teaching foreign languages. The theoretical approach to the topic of multilinguism is supported with results of a survey held at selected Czech schools.

Quality of life in chronic illness and long-term adverse health condition. Gender-based differences.
FILIPOVÁ, Zuzana
This bachelor?s thesis is concerned with mapping the differences of both men and women in the quality of life. These are individuals who suffer from any disease of the indication group VII of spa treatment. Specifically it deals with musculoskeletal diseases. It figures out what differences in quality of life which are described in 8 domains using standardized questionnaire SF 36 are for both gender before and after spa treatment. The theoretical part of this thesis focuses on the analysis of the term ?quality of life?. It specifies it and clarifies its use in a comprehensive rehabilitation and other science disciplines. Hereafter it devotes to the definition of health where attaches indispensable functionality to the measuring of quality of life. Because the quality of life is not just an empty phrase, but an instrument that can comprehensively map the subjective problems in health status of the person. The above part also discusses the instruments by which the quality of the life is measured and so the standardized questionnaire SF 36 which is a necessary instrument for the work needs. The aim of the thesis is to find out what are the differences between the quality of life for both men and women disposed of a disease from the group VII spa treatment and specify them. A hypothesis is connected with this aim: The quality of life of women with chronic diseases classified in the indication group VII is worse than men with the same disease. The research part further explains the applied tools for gaining the data. It closely describes used methodology of data collection including number of respondents and percentage of return. Specifically, the research was conducted with 12 men and 13 women. These probands completed the standardized questionnaire SF 36

"Porta coeli" convent in Předklášteří u Tišnova and west portal of its convent church
Prokůpková, Eva ; Mudra, Aleš (advisor) ; Kuthan, Jiří (referee)
"PORTA COELI" CONVENT IN PŘEDKLÁŠTEŘÍ U TIŠNOVA AND WEST PORTAL OF ITS CONVENT CHURCH The Tišnov convent Porta coeli ("gateway to heaven") was probably founded in 1232 by the Czech Queen Konstancie, daughter of the Hungarian King Béla III and widow of the Czech King Przemysl Otakar I, who was greatly supported by her sons - the Czech King Wenceslas I and Moravian Margrave Przemysl. Of the church notables it was particularly Robert, bishop of Olomouc, who rendered his support during the construction of the convent. The building progressed quickly, sponsored by the prominent figures of the Przemyslid state. Earliest core of the convent was constituted by the convent church and convent buildings, cloister and chapter house, enclosing wall with a moat and defensive towers, a residential building by the entrance gate and St Kateřina's Chapel in the northwestern part of the courtyard (torn down just before the convent was closed by the Emperor Joseph II in 1782), which was finished at very earliest stage. Most important buildings of the medieval convent were built in the years 1232 - 1240. The early Gothic complex of buildings which survives basically intact today, ranks among the most valuable architectural works built in the Czech state in the second quarter of the 13th century. The convent church on...

Mobilita obyvatelstva v Austrálii
Kroftová, Barbora ; Macháček, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Novák, Radek (referee)
Svou diplomovou práci věnuji mobilitě obyvatelstva, zejména migraci v Austrálii. Chtěla bych zde dokázat, že v rámci této země existuje určitá stálost v mobilitě za poslední tři desetiletí, objasnit systematické přesuny, také z hlediska věkové struktury přemístujících se osob. Záměrem je ověřit, zda se populace stala za posledních 25 let více či méně mobilní, dále vysvětlit příčiny preference mobility na kratší či delší vzdálenosti. Díky kvantitativnímu měření bych ráda objasnila aspekty dočasné mobility a identifikovala významné rozdíly těchto procesů a procesů trvalé migrace. Zkoumám zde mobilitu versus věkovou stukturu, vzdálenostní aspekt a prostorovou preferenci. Chtěla bych se také věnovat důvodům mobility a přesunujících se obyvatel v rámci specifických podskupin - věkové skupiny, podle pohlaví, ekonomického statusu, sociálního statusu a příjmových skupin. Zaměřím se také na vzdálenosti mobility, jak dočasné, tak trvalé a na vnitřní migraci.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and condition of lower limb
Zůna, Petr ; Smolíková, Libuše (advisor) ; Máček, Miloš (referee)
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is serious illness which prevails more often in last decades. The main reason why this happen is smoking epidemic and worse environment. Beside primary impacts on respiratory system, COPD has some secondary non-respiratory consequences. The most serious of them is muscle dysfunction, which affects lower limb muscles the most. The aim of this work is to summarize the knowledge of functional, structural and metabolic changes in lower limb muscles and their etiology. Then we discuss general concepts of curing COPD and practical possibilities of medical affection of muscle dysfunction by applying rehabilitation programs. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Overindebtedness connected to consumer finance - possible solutions and suggested precaution
Zelený, Martin ; Angelovská, Olga (advisor) ; Trlifajová, Lucie (referee)
This thesis is mapping current situation in the area of consumer lending, shows main reasons and impacts of overindebtedness and also its connetion to consumer lending. The target is to suggest appropriate regulation to lower the rate of overindebtedness, that exists in this area due to the absence of regulation in the area of consumer lending in Czech republic. Suggested regulation insures higher consumer protection and compact rules for all the partcipants on the consumer lending market. It also collects complex information about clients and their debt ratio. It has advantages for all participants.
