Functions of the adult neurogenesis
Šejnová, Gabriela ; Stuchlík, Aleš (advisor) ; Melkes, Barbora (referee)
Neurogenesis in adult mammals was first discovered in the second half of the 20th century and its mechanisms, regulation and possible functions have been researched eversince. Scientists have so far been able to describe the process of neuronal development as well as some possible influences. However, the role of this phenomenon is still being discussed. This thesis is focused on neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus in hippocampus, a pair structure located in the central part of the temporal lobe. The main aim is to describe the recent findings and research models as well as the assumed functions. The most recent theories find the role of hippocampal neurogenesis in pattern separation, memory resolution, contextual memory or memory consolidation. These hypotheses are quite variable due to the broad range of research methods and their interpretations, however, none of them seems to disprove the others. Key words: neurogenesis, functions, behavior, hippocampus, learning

A contrastive study of the Czech translation equivalents of the pragmatic markers now and well in electronic parallel texts
Houra, Aleš ; Klégr, Aleš (advisor) ; Šaldová, Pavlína (referee)
This thesis presents a contrastive analysis of the English pragmatic markers now and well and their Czech translation equivalents. The overall material is based on 200+12 occurrences that were excerpted from the electronic parallel corpus InterCorp, with all the instances appearing in fictional dialogues. The contrastive study focuses on the role of translation as a means to understand better the nature of the two pragmatic markers. It analyzes specific marker-collocate sequences and the respective Czech translation equivalents. It demonstrates that certain marker-collocate sequences have a tendency to be translated by specific Czech translation equivalents and that the role of other factors, such as position in discourse structure, prosody, and broader context, play in this respect an important role as well. All this and the finding that both now and well share certain Czech translation equivalents add to the multifunctionality of both now and well and prove that a combination of other factors is needed to comprehend the use of the two pragmatic markers in English. The comparison of the Czech translation equivalents in this thesis to the Czech translation equivalents in the Czech-English dictionary Lingea attempted to provide an example of how a contrastive analysis can be useful in Lexicography.

Functional thinking of high school students
Janda, David ; Pilous, Derek (advisor) ; Vondrová, Naďa (referee)
The aim of the thesis Functional thinking of high school students is an analysis and descrip- tion of chosen aspects of function theory at high school, which seems to be problematic. The first chapter of the thesis summarizes basic theoretical concepts of didactics of mathematics focusing on and describing selected researches in the framework of aspects. The second part deals with the analysis of the research realized in standard math lessons at high school. The final chapter of the thesis recapitulates the results of the research from the points of view of particular aspects and discuses their importance and the way of utilization in education.

Didactical situations for teaching functions at the lower secondary level
Krůtová, Michaela ; Novotná, Jarmila (advisor) ; Vondrová, Naďa (referee)
This thesis deals with the possible way to use the Theory of didactic situations in the second level of Czech primary schools. The main topic of the experiment is the introduction of functions in the 9th grade of primary schools. The entire work is divided into two parts - theoretical and experimental. The theoretical part is focused on introduction of the Theory of didactic situations and processing the topic in the educational materials used in the Czech Republic. It also deals with the historical development of the topic of functions in the Czech curricula. In this context, the author conducted a survey, the purpose of which was primarily the view of a primary school mathematics teacher on teaching of functions and on changes that recently accompany the Czech school system. In the experimental part, the author presents detailed information about the educational block processed and implemented according to the principles of the Theory of didactic situations. The aim of the experiment was to watch the reaction of students to the concept of teaching according to the Theory of didactic situations and to evaluate their success in relation to the desired outcomes of the topic. The thesis describes the preparation, progress and evaluation of the prepared educational unit.

Summer musical events and their impact on everyday life in the village Lesná
Hájková, Anna ; Kandert, Josef (advisor) ; Svobodová, Ludmila (referee)
This bachelor thesis is focused on summer musical events (in Czech "parket") and membership of volunteer fire-fighters and their impact on everyday life in village Lesná. The expression "parket" can have more meanings according to the context. Firstly it is designation for summer dance events or concerts, secondly it is designation for the place in the village where these events take place. This paper is based on literature dealing with the influence of local culture and societies on village community which led author to identify several possible functions this events and volunteer fire-fighters membership may have within the structure. The reviewed version of Merton's functional analysis is used to define the functions. These functions are functions of integration and socialisation, functions connected to voluntary work and educational function, function of this events as a place of increased social control, function of revitalization and stabilisation, function of formation, transmission and preservation of traditions, entertainment and compensatory function, function or dysfunction of conflicts, gaining a higher social status and political power in village and economical function. The research part of this paper is based on qualitative research methods as semi- structured interviews, participant...

Functions in examples and counterexamples
Janda, David ; Pilous, Derek (advisor) ; Zhouf, Jaroslav (referee)
The aim of my Bachelors thesis is to explicate students coming to the uni- versity the key problems in fundamentals of mathematical analysis. I focus on the most notable terms of continuity and limit, which these secondary students were acquainted with. However, majority of them just intuitively and informaly. I am trying to point out the fact, that the knowledge of many students is distortid and uncomplete. As a result it is necessary to practise and clarify this knowledge so that the intuitive imagination of these terms corresponds to the formal definition. I am trying to get this point by brea- king of intuitive imaginations of students by counterexamples. Important is a chapter named The Construction of Functions, which contains instructi- ons leading to the finding functions with specific features. Not only these features, described in this thesis, but also more complex such as derivation, primitive function or uniform convergence. It is a consequence of the fact, that the principle of examples to practise these terms is in many sights similar and repetitious. In chapters named Continuity and Limit, I am interpreting these terms using the special examples, which are in my opinion optimal for rehearsing. My intention is to help illustrate selected problematical sections of mathematical analysis.
