Party system stability and instability
Pelíšková, Dana ; Němec, Jan (advisor) ; Bobková, Eva (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with party system stability and its aim is to verify the hypothesis, that the countries with the longest continuity of the political regime prove the highest level of party system stability. The author tries to confirm this hypothesis by analysing the party system stability in six chosen cases, which include the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Portugal, Spain, Austria and Germany. To confirm the hypothesis the author use qualitative and quantitative analysis based on the concept that focuses on relations between political parties, structure of party competition and patterns of coalition formation. This approach defines the party system stability by setting four criterions: frequency of government alternation, type of government alternation, innovation of governing formulas and access of political parties to government. The thesis analyses according to this concept the party systems of the six states in the term 1993-2013 and also covers the historical context of party systems development in the selected cases from the end of the World War II. The author stresses in the whole thesis the case of the Czech Republic.

Possibilities of physiotherapy at chronic overload of shoulder girdles on ice hockey players
DVOŘÁČKOVÁ, Veronika
This bachelor thesis addresses the issue of chronic overloading of ice hockey player's shoulder girdle muscles. A sufficient muscle activity and range of motion in the shoulder girdle is necessary for the shooting efficiency of a player. A high rate of personal duels and the decrease of stability of the shoulder joint can lead to its chronic overloading and to a higher chance of an accident occurring. I divided this thesis into two main parts theoretical and special. In the theoretical part, I described the characteristics of ice hockey and also the anatomy, kinesiology and the possible examinations of the shoulder girdle. Furthermore, I stated information about injuries of the shoulder girdle in the field of ice hockey. The end of the theoretical part discusses the specific techniques of physiotherapy, which I used in this work. In the practical part, I applied the theoretical knowledge in the physiotherapy of three ice hockey player's shoulder girdles. I used a qualitative research methodology and collected the data in the form of a case study. The subjects of the research were three ice hockey players, aged between 21 and 24 years. I carried out the pre-therapy and post-therapy kinesiologic examinations and acquired the anamnesis of all three players in the form of a structured interview. The examinations, which I used on all subjects, were visual, touch (palpation), dynamic, anthropometric and goniometric. Also, I examined shortened muscles, motion stereotypes and I performed special tests for the shoulder joint. The therapy lasted for 3 months, once per week for 45 minutes. The main objective of this thesis was to discuss the overloading of ice hockey player's shoulder girdles and also to determine the possible uses of specific kinesiotherapy and physiotherapy methods, which could be used for prevention of injuries and straining. The result of this work is an analysis of methods and their practical use for physiotherapy of ice hockey players with chronic strained shoulder girdles. The therapy has proven to be effective for two subjects. Thanks to the chosen methods, the subjects reported a total decrease of pain and demonstrated a better stabilization of the shoulder girdles. Their stereotypes improved as well. The third subject was not fully cooperating and because of that, his results aren't as conspicuous as the results of the other two subjects, yet still they show improvement. This bachelor thesis can be used by physiotherapists and students of physiotherapy for acquiring information about this issue, as well as by coaches and players, who do not cling only on game results, but also care about the health and the prevention of injuries.

Řezníčková, Klára ; Bittnerová, Dana (referee) ; Hrnčířová, Zdeňka (advisor)
This thesis is aimed to contrast desubstantive diminutives in the Dutch and Czech languages based on the material from somatic phraseology. The theoretical part describes diminutives, mainly the way of their forming and semantics, and phraseology, focused on characteristics of phraseological units and the ways of their categorization. The aim of the practical part is quantitative analysis of the frequency of diminutives, and the subsequent qualitative analysis of the possible specific characteristics of appearance and use based on contrastive analysis focused on the stuctural categorization of the examined group of phraseological units and syntactic and semantic analysis of their diminutive somatic components.

The intergenerational relationships between senior citizens living in retirement homes and their families and friends in the town of Humpolec
VESELSKÁ, Kateřina
Abstract The intergenerational relationships between senior citizens living in retirement homes and their families and friends in the town of Humpolec Aging and senior citizens are currently topical subjects. The population is aging and society should be prepared for this phenomenon. This shall bring about changes in various spheres and fields, such as health care and social services, and also in the relationships in and functioning of today{\crq}s family. The thesis ``The intergenerational relationships between senior citizens living in retirement homes and their children and friends in the town of Humpolec{\crqq} is devoted to the functioning of intergenerational relationships between senior citizens and their families and friends. The theoretical section deals with, first of all, the definition of the term senior citizens, their standing in society and the increasing number of senior citizens of a greater age. It emphasizes important health and mental changes that accompany old age and also characterizes the importance and types of activities and aging. It presents the results and findings of up to now research dealing with intergenerational relationships. For greater clarity and distinction, it divides these relationships into intergenerational relationships between senior citizens and their children, senior citizens and their grandchildren, senior citizens and their siblings, and senior citizens and their friends. Intergenerational relationships are primarily formed within a family, which is why one chapter is devoted to families, their functioning, and their importance. The next to last chapter in the theoretical section emphasizes the importance of the quality of life, which significantly influences and affects intergenerational relationships. The last chapter is devoted to retirement homes for senior citizens, and also the important changes that were brought about by Act No. 108/2006 Coll., on Social Services. The empirical section is devoted to the carrying out of qualitative research. An in-depth interview was the method that was utilized. Interviews were carried out with ten senior citizens in two retirement homes; in the Blessed Bronislav Retirement Home and the Humpolec Retirement Home on Lužická Street. Interviews with six senior citizens took place in the first named retirement home and the remaining four interviews took place in the latter named retirement home. The findings of the research reveal how intergenerational relationships function, and what affects and forms them. The findings present the relationships between senior citizens and their children, their quality and frequency, their relationships with their grandchildren, and in some cases their great grandchildren, and with their siblings and friends. The findings show the stress of first coming to a retirement home and the importance of a family and/or friends when taking this step in life. The findings of the research emphasize the importance of activities in old age and the important areas of changes in one{\crq}s health and mental state, when changes in one area affect other areas and the quality of life of senior citizens. The quality of life is also assuredly affected by the financial situation of senior citizens, which this thesis also deals with. Another factor is the surroundings in which senior citizens living in retirements homes live in. This thesis also deals with this issue.

Woman's sexuality in pregnancy, during delivery and in puerperium.
HONZÍKOVÁ, Eliška
This bachelor thesis deals with female sexuality in the period of pregnancy, delivery and puerperium. However, it does not only focus on sexual activities in these cardinal periods of every woman ´s life. Female sexuality is directly related to the woman ´s psychic condition which has a fundamental effect on her. The theoretical part includes chapters explaining the notion of female sexuality and its brief history. The thesis further includes basic information about female physiology and an outline of the periods of pregnancy, delivery and puerperium with a focus on female psyche and sexuality. The purpose of this thesis was to find out about women ´s knowledge of hormonal changes in the periods of pregnancy, delivery and puerperium in relation to sexuality. Another objective was to find out what changes are women subject to in these periods and whether any complications may appear in this area. Further focus of interest was comparison of sexuality of women without professional healthcare education and midwives who had already delivered babies themselves. This theme was processed with the help of a qualitative research. The needed information was obtained through non-standardised interviews with open questions. The interviews were processed in the form of case studies. The research subjects included two groups of female respondents. The first group included women without professional healthcare education and the second consisted of five midwives. The research was used for evaluation of the following hypotheses: ``Women possess information about hormonal changes in pregnancy, during and after delivery in relation to sexuality``; ``The frequency of female sexual activities decreases in pregnancy``; ``Women change view of their life roles in the sense of continuous prevalence of the parental role over the partner role``; ``Delivery need not necessarily result in changed sexual appetite of women``; ``Women experience complications in sexuality after delivery in the case of trouble with injury during childbirth{\crqq}; ``There are no differences between women without professional healthcare education and professional midwives in sexuality in the periods of pregnancy, delivery and post-delivery``. The thesis might be beneficial not only for midwives, pregnant women or women after child delivery, but also for the male part of the population.

Pospíšilová, Martina ; Šoltys, Otakar (advisor) ; Kučera, Štěpán (referee)
The thesis is concentrated on the analysis of the political talkshow Otazky Vaclava Moravce (Questions of Vaclav Moravec), especially on the selection of language, and it elaborates used automatized expressions such as clichés and phrases. Above all, the thesis offers a deeper view into the cliché issue, including both cliché in common and specific cliché of the anchorman, using the method of qualitative analysis. An extensive theoretical insight is also an important part of the thesis and it contains exact meanings of terms, that are important for the final version of the thesis. Chosen examined and described clichés are eked out with data from Newton IT Media Archive and SYN2000 corpus, that are to be find for free on the internet. The data provide information about the occurence frequency and for the purpose of the thesis they are not the most important. The main object of the thesis is to provide a complete view on clichés in czech media shown on an example of the political talkshow Otazky Vaclava Moravce.

Diversity and ecology of endophytic fungi in different parts of pants.
Kovaříčková, Adéla ; Prášil, Karel (advisor) ; Kolařík, Miroslav (referee)
Even though endophytic fungi have been studied intensively in the past years, little attention has been payed to endophytic colonisation of a whole plant. The search part of this work is about the differences in diversity and ecology of endophytes within whole plants, whose single parts represent qualitatively different environments for growth of endophytic fungi. The main difference is between the colonisation of systemic endophytes of grasses from family Clavicipitaceae and the colonisation of taxonomically heterogenous group of non-systemic endophytes. A systemic endophyte colonizes all above-ground organs of grass, while a non-systemic endophytes form only local infections, and their species composition in specific plant parts differs. The practical part of this work encompasses the pilot study of species diversity of endophytic fungi from woody parts (branches, stems and roots) of an elm tree (Ulmus laevis). There are differences in the frequency of colonisation among samples cultivated on agar plates, and also in diversity of isolated fungal genera.
