Breathing and respiration as the source domain of conceptual metaphors in Czech
Bulak, Patrik ; Vaňková, Irena (advisor) ; Janovec, Ladislav (referee)
Bachelor thesis is focused on the semantic sphere of breathing and respiration. It is based on theories and methods of cognitive-cultural approach to language. The first chapter concerns the conceptual metaphor theory, metonymy cognitive concepts and the metaphor combined with metonymy (the metaphtonymy). The next chapter brings examined semantic sphere based on data from interpretation, etymological dictionaries etc. The attention is drawn in particular on metaphor and metonymy, to which the data refer. The third chapter deals with the physical experience of breathing in its entirety (sensory perception of breathing and experiencing of own respiration). There is also outlined, how this experience base is projected into the language. The crucial chapter of the thesis presents the classification of the collected material of language: it shows which target domains are related to source domain of breathing and respiration on the metaphorical expressions excerpted from phraseological dictionaries in the form of idioms. Research has shown that the breathing and respiration in the source domain are used primarily metonymically. Then it is possible to distinguish the metaphors from metonymy (metaphtonymies) and the "pure" metaphors (personifications). Based on the data interpretation there are at the end...

The effect of the intervention program, breathing exercises on the selected value, and the wind spirometry stereotype
OBRDLÍKOVÁ, Zuzana
This thesis deals with functioning of breathing system, concretely by breathing stereotype and lung's capacities. The aim was to find out if an intervention program of breathing exercises has a positive influence on breathing stereotype and increase of vital capacity and strenuous exhale VC. For stereotype checkup was used muscular dynametr, capacities were measured by spirometry. 34 probands take part in the study, 18 of them were control sample and 16 probands were participated in intervention. They were athlets in the age 15,94 +/- 1,95 years, runner to medium and long distance. Probands undertook an entrance checkup, the intervention program, and when the intervetion was finished, there was an output measurment.

Demands of the Teacher's Proffesion on the Teachers' Voice
Králová, Michaela ; Tichá, Alena (advisor) ; Koverdynský, Luděk (referee)
This dissertation thesis deals with the demands on teachers' voice and proper use of voice in the teacher's profession. The whole thesis consists of two parts: theoretical and practical. The theoretical part is divided into nine sections: the anatomy and physiology of the vocal tract, voice developement, comparison of spoken and singing voice, psychological impact on voice, voice defects and hygiene, voice reeducation, methods of voice diagnostics and voice acoustics. The research part presents the findings of acoustic voice measurement. Students (only women) of Faculty of Education in Prague participed in the research. The objective of this part was to asses the quality of students' voice and their voice readiness for future teaching.

Positioning premature infants in terms of respiratory function and sucking
Matoušková, Marie ; Zounková, Irena (advisor) ; Smolíková, Libuše (referee)
The aim of the thesis "positioning premature infants in terms of respiratory function and intake" is familiar with the term and preterm infant characteristics of this term. Further, there are given the anatomical and physiological differences from mature immature newborn (physiological) newborns, and some pathology of respiratory and digestive tract of preterm infants. The work discusses the positioning of premature infants and introduces the possibility of positioning in terms of respiratory function and suction. The work also includes case study prematurely born child Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Affecting parameters of respiratory gas exchange by use of incentive spirometers
Senohrábková, Eva ; Matouš, Miloš (advisor) ; Smolíková, Libuše (referee)
introduction: The theoretical part of the thesis briefly analyzes the anatomical, kinesiological and physiological aspects of breathing, pursues the issue of examinations of lung functions and also includes a chapter which applies to incentive spirometers. The experimental part of the work examines the impact of three-week training with trainer Coach2 on parameters of respiratory gas exchange at rest and during the exercise in healthy subjects. methods: Both output and control tests included spirometry and spiroergometry examination. The experimental group consisted of 10 subjects, control group consisted of 9 subjects. results: Our results show a significant influence especially on an increase in FVC, decreased respiratory rate at submaximal intensities of exercise and increased breathing rate at maximum load and also an increase in tidal volume at all load levels. Minute ventilation at maximum load increased by an average of 15.17 liters. The control group did not show any improvement. conclusion: It appears that training with trainer Coach2 might be effective in influencing certain ventilatory parameters at rest as well as during the exercise.

Influence of breathe to baroreceptor reflex
Humpolík, Tomáš ; Janoušek, Oto (referee) ; Kolářová, Jana (advisor)
This Master's thesis deals with the influence of breathe to baroreceptor reflex. The first chapter is focused on measuring of blood pressure, in reference to later used method. In the second part is detailed analysis and explanation of term baroreflex, relationship between frequency spectra of systolic blood pressure, heart rate and breathing, mechanisms of regulation of blood pressure and heart rate variability. Third chapter deals with possible ways, how to analyze data, which are needed for estimation of baroreflex sensitivity, analyze of heart rate variability and estimation of power spectral density. Next parts of this thesis is paid attention to technical equipment and methods of acqusition of data, using this equipmnent. Part of this work is also software application, which makes possible from the recorded data estimate baroreflex sensitivity.

Voice/vocal cords - the working tools of a leisure time pedagogue
ČARNOGURSKÁ, Lenka
This work deals with voice and the vocal cords as the working tools of pedagogues not only of leisure time. It describes the structure and the workings of the vocal apparatus. It discusses voice typology and voice properties. It includes the basic division of voice disorders and speech impediments, their causes, and the possible ways of their treatment. It also summarises the principles of vocal hygiene along with the voice care options available. The crucial part of the work is the chapter concerning vocal practice, which gives information on specific breathing, vocal, and articulation exercises. Pedagogues belong among vocal professionals and are subjected to considerable vocal strain. Correct voice formation and care should be part of their lifestyle. At the same time, pedagogues are speech models to their pupils and students, and refined speech reflects on them.
