Kuba, Kryštof ; Strnad, Pavel (advisor) ; Jalovcová, Miroslava (referee)
Title: The influence of a specific movement therapy for bone density in female patients evaluated by bone DXA densitometry Objectives: The aim was to demonstrate the positive impact of movement on bone mineral density in patients suffering from postmenopausal osteoporosis. Summary: The main topic of this thesis is to evaluate potential benefits of an intensive program to the treatment of patients suffering from postmenopausal osteoporosis treated with the standard pharmacological therapy. The marker determined to evaluate the effect of change in bone density was DXA bone densitometry in the standard locations (lumbar spine, proximal femur). The evaluation of measurement results was performed after six-month program. Methods: The experiment, which was the substantial part of this thesis, was based on the method of comparison of input and output values in experimental and control groups. Each group consisted of 15 patients. Measured parameters of bone density were deliberately affected by means of physical interventions in the experimental group of patients. The results were processed and evaluated by Microsoft Excel and SAS 9. 2 programs. Results: Physical intervention is an essential part of therapy in patients suffering from postmenopausal osteoporosis. The experiment proved that a six-month...

Political Movements of Dalits in South India
Blecha, Vlastimil ; Vavroušková, Stanislava (advisor) ; Filipský, Jan (referee) ; Hons, Pavel (referee)
While growing strength of Dalit political organizations in India in the last years has been usually welcomed as a manifestation of rising self-confidence of Dalits and an expression of new orientation of the Indian society towards more social justice and equality, this thesis advocates for some restraint from an unwarranted optimism. It focuses on the impact of Dalit political movements and affirmative action on governance in Tamil Nadu rural societies and it sets the Dalit movement and the affirmative action on behalf of Dalits in the context of Dravidian political parties that have been the leading force in the Tamil Nadu since 1967. The main questions I am addressing in this thesis are: "Which factors/institutions are conducive to good governance/orderly rule in communities divided by caste while carrying out the project of social and political empowerment of Dalits?" "What is the impact of affirmative action and Dalit political parties on local communities and by extension on Tamil Nadu society?" The thesis uses neo-institutionalist theoretical framework and it is predominantly based on comparison of two different experiences of two Tamil Nadu villages with the Dalit movement and the affirmative action. I have collected most of the empirical data for the thesis during my two periods of fieldwork in...

Quantitative stress parameters were evaluated for individual tests as the mean value from a large amount of repetition in individually evaluation. Results: Tests proved it is not possible to confirm acute positive influence of dynamic stretching on all assesed parameters in different tests. In terms of average values of different tests a noticeable lower limbs improvement has been emerged at two out of three tests.

Possibility of influence on the stability of seniors at the risk of falling
Nesvadbová, Barbora ; Čakrt, Ondřej (advisor) ; Radvanský, Jiří (referee)
This bachelor thesis pursues the problematic of falls among seniors and possibilities of influencing the falls by affecting the seniors' stability and balance. It present basic information about causes and consequence of falls among seniors and discusses possibilities of prevention of falls through a physiotherapy and movement. Further, it shows summary and any results of studies that aimed to influence the stability and prevention of the falls among seniors through various forms of physiotherapy. Most of these studies present the significance of balance and coordination exercises combined with resistance and endurance lokomotor training. The most frequent results of physiotherapy containing these elements are the improvement of the balance functions, the increase of muscle strength, the reduction of falls and the decrease of anxiety of falling. This bachelor thesis also includes a practical part containing casuistics of two patients at the risk of falling. After eight-week therapy of balance and fitness character, there was an improvement of several parameters of functional balance tests in both cases. There was also a questionnaire inquiry focused on the frequency of falls among seniors. There is a positive effect on the reduction of falls among seniors figuring from the results.

Bednářová, Klára ; Střítecký, Vít (advisor) ; Hindlsová, Lucie (referee)
The thesis deals with the question of Egypt's role of a biased mediator towards the Palestinian side in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and its stabilising effects on the region in the form of a case study applying the theory of a biased mediator in conflict resolution on the Egyptian example. In addition to this, the goal of this thesis is to demonstrate the beneficial effects of different forms of mediation activities and their combination, including biased and neutral mediation, in the transformation of intractable and protracted conflicts into their tractable form, using the example of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The identification of Egypt's positive role in contributing to the resolving of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, of which it was once a warrying party, portrays the transformational capacity of conflicts. The thesis also highlights Egypt's potential in moderating extremist trends in the region, also through the successful mediation efforts in the inter-palestinian conflict involving the Fatah and Hamas movements, contributed to by Egypt's changing position in the region, her historical role in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and her strategic and security concerns in the region.

A 'Type-ideal novel' (een 'idealtype van roman')', is according to the Flemish writer Ivo Michiels such a novel, 'that a film which can not be filmized of brought into the concrete milieu. It's a novel that does not want to compete with consumer industry, based on abundance of information, especially in the film.' (Janssens, 5) In the thesis Literary Analysis of Orchis militaris, a book by Ivo Michiels we have analysed how does a novel look like, written by an author of such a vision. The focus ov this thesis is the literary analysis of Orchis militaris (1968), which includes both formal and thematic analysis. Moreover, I integrated this book into the literary-historical context, which indicates the connection between this book and the Flemish, Dutch and world literature - especially important was the experimental literature of 50th and 60th and the French nouveau roman.
