Life in memories (Presentation of the ancietry and the nobility of the Buquoys, the Czernins of Chudenice and the Schwarzenbergs)
RUDOVÁ, Hana
During the ``long{\crqq} 19th century, when the principle of nobility as such was in great danger, aristocrats wanted to demonstrate the importance of their family. To do so, they used various forms of the presentation: the appearance of rural residences, building family tombs and participation in exhibitions with historical themes. This thesis takes an interest in the forms of presentation of the nobility by three South-Bohemian noble families {--} Buquoys, Czernins of Chudenice and Schwarzenbergs. It focuses not only on the building activity of aristocrats and the visual representation of the ancientry and the nobility but also on the literary work of archivists and other forms of the presentation. In the 19th century the manors were redone in style of historicism, however, an important role was played by the proprietors themselves, their (artistic) hobbies and ideas about history. In some cases this thesis also uncovers the inspirations and motives that led (the members of the South-Bohemian aristocracy) to such demanding reconstructions.

Memory disorders in old age
KROUPOVÁ, Jitka
Memory changes or disorders are typical for old age. The ability to absorb new information, to store it in memory and the subsequent information processing decline in old age. The dividing line between memory impairment and dementia is very vague. Czech Alzheimer Society deals with people affected by dementia. The organisation was launched in June 2008 under a project called Days of memory, project of the early memory disorders detection promotion. The practical part of my thesis deals with the project Days of memory. The first goal of the practical part is to find the reasons why clients suffering from memory disorders seek help at the ČALS contact point {--} the Centre for the Elderly PATUP in ZSF JU. The second aim of the practical part is to compare experiences of the ČALS contact point workers who are involved in the Project of the early memory disorders detection promotion, "Days of Memory", in memory scanning. The data required for the practical part of the thesis were obtained by a combination of a qualitative and quantitative research.

HANČLOVÁ, Svatava
A cognitive rehabilitation is an intervention seeking to restore or compensate cognitive deficiencies with an aim to improve the everyday efficiency of the client. A part of the cognitive rehabilitation is a cognitive training that means a repeated drill and an effort to improve cognitive activities. The memory training is a combination of the cognitive training and relaxing psychomotor exercising. It also fulfills a social function because mutual get-togetherness and interactions happen in the course of it. The main tendency is to learn techniques and strategies leading seniors to an improvement of their memorizing, so that they could use them in their everyday life. The purpose of this work is to ascertain an influence of the cognitive rehabilitation on clients living in MÁJ Rest Home in České Budějovice. The chosen elaboration method of my bachelor work is an experiment. A level of cognitive abilities of the seniors was discovered by a pre-test at the beginning of the experiment. There were monitored results of various tests {--} MMSE, short-term memory, quality of life and everyday cognitive difficulties test. The level of the cognitive abilities was verified by a post-test at the end of the experimental action and test results were compared with the checking group. The research confirmed that the cognitive rehabilitation contributes to an increasing of the quality of life, an improvement of the short-term memory and to an easement of everyday cognitive difficulties.

TRAINING MEMORY OF SENIORS
FORMÁNKOVÁ, Petra
My graduation thesis focuses on training memory with senior citizens. The main aim of this work is to define methods, techniques and benefits of memory training for senior citizens. The first aim was to investigate if there was some memory training (i.e. which forms were applied, how often, what kind of education the persons conducting this form of activation had achieved) in rest homes in Strakonice District. The second aim was to find out how beneficial the memory training was from the point of view of senior people as well as from the point of view of workers carrying out memory training in old people's homes. The research was done in the Rest Home for Seniors in Blatná, in the Home of Restful Old Age of St. Anna in Sousedovice, in the Home for Seniors in Strakonice - Jezárky, in the Home for Seniors in Strakonice - Lidická and In the Home for Seniors in Vodňany. To get the necessary information I have chosen a semi-controlled interview, i.e. qualitative research. The research group consisted of 32 seniors participating in memory training courses and the other one of 7 memory trainers conducting memory training sessions in the homes for seniors in Strakonice District. The results of the research have been processed in the form of a case study.

Exploratory and spatial learning abilities in two African mole-rats with different social system.
MAZOCH, Vladimír
The goal of this study was to examine differences in the exploratory activity, spatial learning and memory between two strictly subterranean rodents with different social systems, solitary silvery mole-rat (Heliophobius argenteocinereus) and social giant mole-rat (Fukomys mechowii) in a maze resembling natural burrows. Although the giant mole-rats showed better performance in most of the parameters of the test, this could not be easily explained by superior learning abilities of social species. The differences found could be more attributed to different motivation in both species. The solitary mole-rat was remarkably more cautious and moved with lower velocity, spent more time in the maze, made more errors and traveled a longer path before reaching the reward box.

The author of the essay observes the frequent occurence of the notion of memory in the work of the exiled writer Sylvie Richterová, while paying particular attention to the fiction Slabikář otcovského jazyka, where it is represented in a plethora of metaphors which include aspects both of the individual and the cultural memory.
