The weapons in citizens' homes of Volyne according to preserved inventory of weaponry from 1551
GAJDOŠ, Patrik
The bachelor thesis deals with weapons in homes of town Volyne according to preserved inventory of weaponry from 1551. The goal is to introduce the level of personal equipment of population in the Early Modern town and interprets it in the context of history of Prachensko. It presents a comparison of documented military equipment with developments of Central European warfare, which has undergone great development due to the significant social changes during the 16th century. The owners of weapons has become another subject of interest. The thesis, through structural approach, evaluates whether the quantity and quality of their equipment was related to their social and property status. It does not neglect possible motives that could lead to the need for citizen to get a gun. The findings are based on historical primary sources concerning evidence. The conclusion summarizes the findings and offers possible directions that would research on the topic might take in the future.

The Influence of Sensomotoric Stimulation on the Shape of Foot by Football Players of the Early School Age
Sedláková, Věra ; Vařeková, Jitka (advisor) ; Flemrová, Miroslava (referee)
The aim of this work is to find what influence sensomotoric exercise has on the shape of feet. The research was carried out within a group of children from the football dass. I compared changes in the size of feet contact surface, for which I used the instrument Footscan. This was my main checking method. Tlte research and methods 14 boys in the age of 7-9 took part in the experiment. This group got through four month lasting moving program focused on improvement of the feet function. The entrance and final testing included kinesiology analysis, clinic and instrument examining and feet contact surface scanning. The medial measuring system Footscan was used for taking measurements and results data, which provided the necessary level of objectivity for the evaluation of the effect of exercises. I used the instrument Footscan® by RSscan International from Belgium and the scanning desk, size 400x500 mm interface Footscan® 2D box-a software Footscan® Single Step. Hypotheses of the work 1. We suppose that the percentage of postural disorders will be lower within the active sporting children than within the rest of population. 2. We suppose that there also appear postural pathology in the area of pelvis and in the upper parts of trunk by those children who are flat-footed. 3. We suppose that four month...

Silesia between the Habsburgs and the Hohenzollerns
Schindlerová, Karolína ; Horčička, Václav (referee) ; Županič, Jan (advisor)
The a1m of this diplom a work is focused on description of the Silesian territorial structure and explication of the process of Reformation and CounterReformation in particular Silesian duchies during the period of 17th and 18th century. In the Middle Ages, Silesia was divided among many independent duchies ruled by a cadet branches of the Piast dynasty. In the 17th century Silesia consisted of 16 feudal duchies and immediate principalities below czech king' s governments. The emperor gaye immediate principalities to catholic nobilities (Auersperg, Liechtenstein, Lobkowicz etc.) during the 17th century and by this way he consolidated his power in Silesia. The Protestant Reformation of the 16th century to ok an early hold in Silesia, and most inhabitants became Lutheran. The Habsburgs were devotees of Catholic Church and they were decided to implement politic of Counter-Reformation in whole Silesia. Especially after the end of the Thirty Years' War with the Treaty of Westphalia in 1648, the Habsburgs greatly encouraged Catholicism and succeeded in reconverting population of immediate principalities. The religious conflicts led many Silesian Protestants to seek refuge in Saxony and Polland. Foreign rulers from Saxony, Brandenburg and Sweden often intervened on behalf of Silesian Protestants. In spite of this...

Molecular mechanisms of formation and development of colonies of wild Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains
Šťovíček, Vratislav ; Palková, Zdena (advisor) ; Hašek, Jiří (referee) ; Heidingsfeld, Olga (referee)
Yeasts are capable of forming a wide range of multicellular communities, which enable the survival in harmful and changing environment. Surface associated biofilms, often connected with infections in human body, and colonies can serve as an example of such populations. This work investigates formation and development of complex structured colonies of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which can be considered as a distinctive feature of yeast strains isolated from the wild. Architecture and properties of such colonies are fundamentally different from the spatially undifferentiated colonies of most of laboratory strains and resemble in many ways rather natural biofilms of pathogenic yeasts. Yeast populations use specific developmental processes induced by communication mechanisms to synchronize the early stages of their development. Formation of specific three-dimensional colony architecture is enabled by the presence of extracellular matrix and adhesive protein Flo11p which provide stability and integrity of the whole structure. Protection of the colonies is accomplished by spatially differentiated cell subpopulations using various mechanisms such as expression of efflux pumps capable of removing toxic substances or production of extracellular matrix functioning also as selectively permeable barrier. Phenotypic...

Minor mothers in the Romani communities
Buzková, Alena ; Večerka, Kazimír (advisor) ; Víšek, Petr (referee)
The bachelor thesis "Minor mothers in the Romani communities" addresses the phenomenon of minor mothers in the traditional Romani community. More generally, the demographic behavior of the Romanies is analyzed, and discussed with respect to the overall demographic data valid for the population of the Czech Republic. This thesis and its conclusions are based on the author's own research performed in Poschlá, a suburb of the city of Vsetín. The Romani community in Vsetín is introduced, including notes on its history. It is pointed out that the community still exhibits remarkable respect to the outstanding role of the typical extended family structure, which significantly influences the demographic behavior of the community. The author also notes fundamental differences concerning the mean lifespan of the Romanies versus the majority population, by which the typical early timing and extension of the female reproduction period can be explained naturally. Such conclusions are justified by the author's own research dealing with three overlapping generations of the Romani mothers in Vsetín, with focus on their age at the time of their first delivery. The thesis also discusses various aspects of social work and its efficiency regarding the issues related to minor mothers and their families.

Influence of phenylketonuria on osteopenia
Tůmová, Linda ; Hučko, Boris (advisor) ; Adéla, Adéla (referee)
The Masters thesis deals with The influence of external factors on bone loss in patients with phenylketonuria. The phenylketonuria is relatively rare disease, but it is one of the most common inherited metabolic diseases, with the incidence of 1:10000 newborns in Europe. It is an autosomal recessive disease, caused by the deficiency or low activity of the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase in liver. This enzyme catalyzes the hydroxylation of phenylalanine to tyrosine in the presence of cofactor tetrahydrobiopterin. Mutations in the gene for this enzyme (previously described more than 800 mutations) or in the gene for the cofactor (2% of cases) results when received normal diet, a large amount of unprocessed phenylalanine can accumulate in the blood and other bodily fluids while the levels of tyrosine and its metabolites are low. This situation leads to severe mental retardation, eczema, microcephaly, growth retardation, physical disability, psychiatric problems, etc. Due to the fact that mental retardation is usually irreversible, testing and early diagnosis is crucial when it comes to this disease. Because of the severity of the disease, a mandatory screening test for newborns was implemented in the Czech Republic in 1975, followed by a treatment diet, that consists of a strict restriction of protein and supplementation of amino acid preparations without phenylalanin. One of the chronic problems connected to this illness are decreased bone density in children and adults with PKU. Although the underlying cause of osteopenia in phenylketonuria has not yet been elucidated, it is a consequence of several factors.
Using the questionnaire, my data was evaluated for the incidence of bone loss in patients with PKU. As my research shows, the incidence of osteoporosis in patients with PKU is higher than the normal population. In 41,3 % of PKU patients were diagnosed osteopenia and osteoporosis in 2,2 %. In the normal population, 99 % of respondents have a normal BMD, while 1 % were diagnosed the osteoporosis. Furthermore, comparing the data with the normal and PKU populations, it has not been confirmed by external influences such as BMI, drinking coffee and cola drinks, and physical activity for example, in regards to bone loss. Conversely showed, that phenylketonuriacs consume cola drinks more than the normal population, most likely due to the factor of gaining quick energy.

Fall-out of minimal necessary capacity of PET and PET/CT for oncological patients in CR
Šobáňová, Kateřina ; Bělohlávek, Otakar (advisor)
Positron emission tomography in the Czech Republic for a seven-year tradition. At this moment Czech Republic has two and three hybrid PET PET / CT scanners. They are used primarily in clinical practice in cancer patients. It is known that patients with proven cancer and patients with definite suspicion of malignancy forms a very large section of the population of patients investigated in nuclear medicine centers, especially in PET centers. The possibility of combining metabolic and anatomical-morphological appearance of tissues during a single examination (as in PET / CT) is significantly increased sensitivity and specificity of both methods and thus contributes not only to save time, but also speed up the diagnostic-therapeutic process, which is in cancer Patients particularly important and desirable. According to some sources, this examination may up to one third of cancer patients lead to a change of the originally planned therapy. [2] The investigative method of PET and PET / CT is for certain malignancies important not only in the diagnosis and monitoring of therapy, but it makes sense in a secondary tertiary prevention in search of metastasis and relapse and early detection relapse rate by other methods in that phase unobservable.

SPECT regional cerebral blood flow in diferential diagnosis of dementias.
Švehlová, Dana ; Lang, Otto (advisor)
To assess the importance of testing single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT ) of the brain in patients with cognitive disorders, a retrospective Data analysis examined patients over four years to compare the clinical diagnosis conclusions SPECT brain. Of 33 patients with clinically probable Alzheimer's disease ( AD ) had 87 % brain SPECT image of AD , half of them was present finding of mixed dementia ( MIX) . U 13 with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) were found heterogeneous patterns of brain perfusion matching mixed population of individuals with MCI and their significance can be evaluated only after a longer interval . In the next phase we test the hypothesis of hypoperfusion in the cingulate gyrus posterior patients with MCI (4 ) could be a promising marker for early detection of AD in a heterogeneous group of these patients. We performed measurements of regional perfusion in the posterior cingulate gyrus in the 10 AD patients , a 7 patients with MCI and 6 standard. Low perfusion in this field has been demonstrated in patients with AD . Keywords : 99mTc - HMPAO SPECT brain , dementia , cognitive disorders , Alzheimer's disease
