Houdková, Andrea ; Tilšer, Ivan (advisor) ; Melicharová, Ludmila (referee)
4 ABSTRACT Topic: Treatment of Alzheimer's disease Author: Andrea Houdková Alzheimer's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disease. Its symptoms are the disorders of memory, speech, executive functions and disorientation. In the terminal stage the patients suffering from this disease are fully dependent on help of other people. Alzheimer's disease is incurable but early diagnosis and consequently started therapy can postpone the heavy stages of the disease and prolong the self - sufficiency of patients. Currently two evidence based methods in the therapy of cognitive disorders are used: - inhibitors of cholinesterase for mild and medium stages of the disease (rivastigmin, donepezil, galantamin) and partial inhibitors of N - methyl - D - aspartate receptors for medium stages of the disease (memantin). Other drugs influencing behaviour and psychological symptoms (antipsychotics, antidepressants and anxiolytics) are also used. Additional medication, use of which is not evidence based, is available. An important part of the therapy are non - farmaceutical methods. Other promising methods are in the stage of clinical testing.

Kůsová, Jarmila ; Čichoň, Rostislav (referee) ; Lejčarová, Alena (advisor)
3 ABSTRACT Subject: Development of Locomotive Skill in Boccia and Ninepins of Students with Cerebral Palsy. Aim work: The aim of the work was to find out the student`s level of locomotive skills in boccia and ninepins and the level of their progress after twenty hours of a kinetic programme intervention applied during compulsory lessons of physical training. Method: We tested the student`s locomotive skills at boccia and ninepins. To fulfil the aim we used qualitative and quantitative methods. Then we used the Cohen coefficient d to set the difference between the experimental (six students) and control group (six students). The research we processed in the form of a quasi-experiment. Results: In the first period of testing in experimental and control groups we found out inadequacies in the fulfilment of locomotive skill in boccia and in ninepins. After the application of kinetic programme in experimental group the locomotive skills in boccia and ninepins improved compared to control group. We foud out he signifiant differences only in some locomotive skills. In the second period in the control group the significant differences weren`t documentary. In the second period between the experimental and control groups we found out the significant differences in all locomotive skills. We can say that trought the...

Řeřicha, Tomáš ; Hátlová, Běla (referee) ; Dvorský, Jaroslav (advisor)
4 The precis Title Basic skills training efficiency in paragliding Goals The goal of this thesis is to get the picture of a basic paragliding course in connection with acquiring required skills related to the control of a parachute, manipulation with a parachute, fulfilling predetermined tasks during the flight itself and to find out the learning progress of activities chosen in advance from the gained knowledge about the measured person, and consequently to try to find the factors which influence this learning progress. Method The thesis is compiled in the form of a qualitative research. For the collection of data we have chosen observation and standardized questionnaires NEO five factory personality inventory and POMS (Profile of Mood States). Results From the recorded data we have found out a different learning progress of individual groups created on the basis of a different extent of required activities.

Ban on, and restriction of some types of conventional weapons in armed conflicts
Šmíd, Radek ; Hýbnerová, Stanislava (referee) ; Ondřej, Jan (advisor)
57 Summary The subject of my graduation thesis is "The ban and restriction of certain types of conventional weapons in armed conflicts". First, it was necessary to define that as conventional weapons are understood all weapons not being weapons of mass destruction, to explain that the ban and restrictions can take many different forms, and finally, to define, to which kind of armed conflicts the humanitarian rules are to be applied. A brief review of the advance on the field of ban and restrictions of certain conventional weapons has been given, including the historical context. From medieval times, when the only international authority, capable of at least trying to moderate the horrors of war, was the pope, over the first agreements of "civilised nations" in the times before the World War I, to the modern conventions adopted after World War II. Great attention is paid to the Declaration of St.Petersburg and to the so-called law of Hague (consisting of many agreements, today a part of the customary law), which as the first documents state, that the progress of civilization should have the effect of alleviating as much as possible the calamities of war, and they contain the prohibition of use of weapons which uselessly aggravate the sufferings and the Hague law even the prohibition of non-discriminating use...

Dissertation abstract The present thesis is devoted to the study of recreational mathematics, with a particular emphasis on its history, its relation to serious mathematics and its educational benefits. The thesis consists of five papers. In the first one we investigate the history of recreational mathematics. We focus on the development of mathematical problems throughout history, and we try to point out the people who had an important influence on the progress of recreational mathematics. The second article is dedicated to Edwin Abbott Abbott and his book called Flatland. It is one of the first popularizing books on geometry. In the third article we review one of the prominent personalities of recreational mathematics, Martin Gardner. The fourth article is in some sense a sequel to the third one. It deals with treachery of mathematical intuition and mathematical April Fool's hoaxes. The last article is devoted to the implementation recreational mathematics to education of students. 1
