Bifurcation phenomena in vocal fold vibrations - experiments in vitro
Horáček, Jaromír ; Švec, J. ; Veselý, Jan
The study presents experimental investigations focused on monitoring of the non-linear vibration effects, especially bifurcation phenomena in the vibration of human vocal folds. The experiments were performed with excised human larynges excited by airflow. Sudden changes between different regimes of the vocal fold vibration were observed when smoothly changing the tension of the vocal folds. The study reveals further details on the nature of sudden changes between voice registers. The results also point out the possible relationship between regular (physiologic) and irregular (pathologic) vocal fold oscillations.

Conception of the lifelong learning
Popelková, Lucie ; Neusarová, Jana (referee) ; Šerák, Michal (advisor)
Main aim of my bachelor thesis is to give a comprehensive explanation of the field of lifelong learning, to clarify its transformations during important historical periods and to cover all its aspects. Although learning during whole life is a natural accompaniment of human evolution, it is not possible to let it out of public interests. In most cases, it is all about accidental, unintentional, unsystematic and aimless learning. Provided the system of lifelong learning would be created, which comprises formal education, non-formal and informal learning, is accessible to everyone, the whole process would be more effective and lifelong learning become a device to cope with changes in humans' lives and to cope with problems of society. This is the cause why I concentrate on explanation of this system and its priorities. Since the situation in lifelong learning is connected with the degree of economic development of each state, I do not leave out the present situation in the Czech Republic. Finally, I put a question of real impacts of implementation of lifelong learning. Are his proponents really true and is it surely a device to bear individual's destiny? Or are right those of its opponents, who claim lifelong learning will make inequalities higher? There are people who have reached high degree of education and...

Role of physical activity in the prevention of childhood obesity
VRTALOVÁ, Jana
The thesis deals with physical activity in the prevention of childhood obesity. It is focused on children, namely pupils of the eighth and ninith grades of elementary school. Obesity is responsible for more human lives than both of the world wars and if we want this epidemic of obesity and problems associated with inactivity minimized, we have to start where it is most efficient and that is with children. The main objective is to explore physical activity in a selected group of pupils. Partial aim is to determine the prevalence of overweight and obesity in the investigated group of students using somatometric measurements in the selected location. Another objective is to determine how many of childrens parents did sports in the past or actualy do sports. The final goal is to prepare educational material for students about the importance of physical activity. The work is divided into two parts theoretical and practical. The theoretical part was compiled as a secondary data analysis. Sources of data and information originated from the Czech Republic and abroad in the form of scholarly books, journals and electronic resources. The contents of the theoretical part is focused on explenation of terms such as obesity, its consequences, complications, ways to prevent obesity, physical activity, appropriate kinds of physical activity and its effects on the human body. Distinctive part is the chapter dealing with the myths of obesity some of them are really surprising. The second part is practical part and includes its own research. The investigation was conducted in a primary school Komenského alej in Žatec for pupils of the eighth and ninth grades. File featured 107 pupils. The research was conducted as a quantitative survey complemented by measurements of somatometric indicators. The data were collected using a custom non-standardized questionnaire. The questionnaire contained 14 questions and two columns separated by line for recording the exact weight and height. We checked these data at pre-agreed periods.

Numerical simulation of self-oscillations of human vocal folds based on aeroelastic theory
Horáček, Jaromír ; Šidlof, P.
Linear two degrees of freedom aeroelastic system for modelling vibrations of human vocal folds was originally developed by which the physiological conditions for so-called phonation thresholds were modelled. The thresholds are given by aeroelastic instabilities of divergence or flutter type. Afterwards the model was generalised taking into account the non-linear aerodynamic terms, important for small glottal openings and large vibration amplitudes.

Numerical simulations of human vocal-fold vibrations in phonation onset caused by aeroelastic instability
Horáček, Jaromír ; Šidlof, P.
Implementation of nonlinear aerodynamic forces in the aeroelastic model of the vocal folds enabled to simulate the oscillations of the vocal fold just after loosing the stability of the system. Results in time domain are compared with the previous solution in frequency domain.

Material flow indicators for the Czech republic: trends, decoupling analysis and uncertainties
Kovanda, Jan ; Moldan, Bedřich (advisor) ; Plesník, Jan (referee) ; Šauer, Petr (referee)
11 Abstract In order for an economic system to function and produce goods and services necessary for meeting human needs, it behaves similarly to a living organism. It absorbs materials from the surrounding environment and transforms them into products, but ultimately all the materials are transformed into some kind of waste and emitted back into the environment. This flow of materials is referred to as industrial or socio-economic metabolism (Baccini and Brunner, 1991; Fischer-Kowalski and Haberl, 1993; Ayres and Simonis, 1994). Extraction of resources, consumption of materials and related emissions exert some pressure on the environment. So far, there has been a positive relation between meeting human needs and this pressure. The overall goal of developed countries within their strategies of sustainable development is to break the relation between pressure exerted on the environment and economic growth, which represents meeting of human needs and improvements in the standard of living. This phenomenon is called decoupling (EC, 2002, 2005, 2006; OECD, 2002; UN, 2002). One of the methods for assessing environmental pressure related to extraction and consumption of resources and materials is material flow analysis. In the case of economy- wide material flow analysis (EW-MFA), this method aims at...
