Title: Utilization of Modern Methods of Immobilization (casts), at Individuals with an Injury of Locomotive System, in The Czech Republic Objectives: The main objective of this thesis is to bring an actual information about proportion of using casts, in comparison with other methods of conservative immobilization, at individuals with an injury of locomotive system, in The Czech Republic. Moreover, the work aims to identify 3 most frequent reasons for using cast and 3 reasons for not using it. Methods: There is a sample of respondents, selected from professionals dealing with a treatment of locomotive system (n = 204). The sample consists of medical doctors working in hospitals (n = 67) as well as doctors working in out-patient ambulatory care segment (n = 137). With respect to doctors specialization, the sample consits of surgeons (n = 141) and orthopaedists (n = 63). Selection of the sample of respondents was randomized. Data were gathered by telephonic questioning (interview). Based on quantitative analysis of the data, both - relative usage of casts and three reasons supporting or limiting its utilization - were identified. The questionnaire was finalized, with respect to outcomes of an initial pilot study (n = 4). Respondents for the pilot study were chosen by quote selection. Results: Plaster...

Jean-Philippe Toussaint and New novel
Veselá Segetová, Zuzana ; Pohorský, Aleš (referee) ; Voldřichová - Beránková, Eva (advisor)
This thesis deals with the question whether Jean-Philippe Toussaint's work resembles the work of the authors of the New novel, particularly Alain Robbe-Grillet. The thesis initiates with the topics covered by the New Novel: the main ideas and their realization and characteristics of the new writing style. This is followed by the analysis of a contemporary Belgian author, Jean-Philippe Toussaint. There is a short introduction of his life and character, his work and reasons why he is so popular and how he became a success. The main point of this part is the analysis of his writing style and its development from his early novels up to his present work. This thesis tries to look into the similarities and differences of J.-P. Toussaint's work and the work of the authors of the New novel. It mainly focuses on the use of objects, what role they play in Toussaint's novels, how they are described and the importance of their description for understanding the plot. The analysis begins with an introduction to the 1950s' new wave authors, later called the authors of the New novel, and their complaints aimed at the classical 19th century novel. We base this part mainly on Alain Robbe-Grillet's ideas. This author totally rejects classical plot, characters, accurate description of reality and linear time-flow. Instead, he...

The Netherlands: migration trends and policy
Rynešová, Lenka ; Steinmetzová, Dana (advisor) ; Popovová, Marie (referee)
Dutch society have gone through many changes over 400 years, the biggest one came during the 20th century, when the Netherlands became a multicultural country. The Netherlands is well-known for its extreme tolerance for minorities and the government tends to integrate these people into Dutch society through immigration and integration policy. Country does not struggle only with the influx of immigrants, the renewed problem is the leaving their own people. Initially, in a relatively peaceful coexistence of immigrants with residents over time, there have been first manifestations of racial hate, religious wars and conflicts due to cultural differences. As a respond to this situation is emigration of the local population. The government still has to adapt its policy because of the changes in structure of migration to suit both parties.

Raimon Panikkar and interculture. Theological basis and philosophical environment of one ontology of relation
Verhoeven Kopecká, Marie ; Halík, Tomáš (advisor) ; Labbé, Yves (referee) ; von Sinner, Rudolf (referee)
Raimon Panikkar (* 1918) is one of most famous thinkers current intercultural dialogue. Family background his father was an Indian Hindu and his mother a Spanish Catholic destined the direction Panikkar's intellectual activity. After studying chemistry, philosophy (Barcelona, Bonn, Madrid) and, consequently, theology (Madrid and Rome), he worked in India, where he became one of protagonists of dialogue with the Christian Orient thinking, in particular the Indian culture. In his efforts he continued, as professor at prestigious American universities. Labor initially pursuing theological and philosophical background Panikkar's thinking. Panikkar gradually develops in his works the idea of need for complementarity between East and West. He began by comparing the basic religious and phílosophical concepts using functional analogies (comparing the perception of reality, of God, of metaphysical's concepts such as transcendence, immanence, etc.). Very quickly switched to an existential plane, which culminated in the conviction of relativity of the all reality and the provisions of the relation as constitutive element of being. For the expression of Panikkar used the term "non-duality" (Jater "a-duality"), the concept i s inspired by Indian philosophy, Advaita-Vedanta together with the Christian doctrine of Goďs...

Relationship between practical wisdom and ethical states in Aristotle
Kudláč, Jakub ; Barabas, Marína (referee) ; Mráz, Milan (advisor)
In our text we examme the relationship between practical wisdom and ethical states in Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics. The goal of our work is to define the function of practical wisdom in ethical virtue. We gradually analyze the indiviual parts of definition of ethical virtue from EN II, 6, that is, that virtue is a state concerned with choice which holds the mean relative to us in such a way as a man of practical wisdom would define it. After the analysis of state concerned with choice and practical wisdom we arrive at the determination of practical wisdom as the source of virtuous action; only practical wisdom can be the criterion that pronounces what is bad and good; desire in itself is not capable of deliberation. Following from this a new question arises: how can practical wisdom influence the irrational part of the soul, which is the seat of desire? Practical wisdom, having no direct influence on desire, uses ethical virtue-temperance as it's intermediary. This induces in irrational desire the intention to follow practical wisdom and thus practical wisdom becomes master of desire. We see the contribution of our work firstly in defining the function of practical wisdom in Aristotelian Ethics with greater accuracy and secondly in establishing temperance as a neccessary condition of the other virtues and...

The effect of Goeckerman therapy on selected immune markers in patients with psoriasis
Kondělková, Kateřina ; Andrýs, Ctirad (advisor) ; Posová, Helena (referee)
1 Summary The effect of Goeckerman therapy on selected immune markers in patients with psoriasis Psoriasis is a systemic inflammatory disorder with skin manifestation. Classical approach to treat psoriasis is Goeckerman therapy (GT) which is based on daily application of pharmaceutical coal tar on affected skin with subsequent exposition to UV light. The aim of this study was to observe selected immunological markers and cell subpopulations in patients with psoriasis and to elucidate the effect of GT on these parameters. We evaluated T regulatory cells (Treg), membrane CD163 expression on monocytes, serum levels of CD163 (sCD163), membrane TLR2 and TLR4 expression on monocytes and serum levels of TLR2 (sTLR2). The immunofluorescent analysis was performed on erythrocyte lysed peripheral blood using a flow cytometer FC500 Cytomics (Beckman Coulter) and FACSCalibur (Becton Dickinson). The level of soluble markers was detected by sandwich enzyme-liked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). There was no significant difference in the relative number of Treg cells in the peripheral blood of healthy blood donors and patients with psoriasis before initiation of GT. The relative number of Treg is significantly increased in psoriatic patients after GT compared to the pre-treatment level. In comparison with levels in controls...

Regulation of cell cycle in Bacillus subtilis.
Zelenka, Tomáš ; Lichá, Irena (advisor) ; Harant, Karel (referee)
2 Abstract Relations between several events running in bacterial cell during cell cycle were the subject of many studies during last years. More advanced techniques showed, that bacterial cell life has much more variable factors, than we supposed before. Relatively recent researches managed to reveal function and in few events molecular principle of several mechanisms coordinating those events such as progression of replication and its initiation, segregation of newly replicated chromosomes and after all synchronization of complex cell division machinery. Furthermore it showed variability of those events during changing living conditions of the cell. Keywords: Cell cycle, regulation, initiation, replication, segregation of chromosome, cytokinesis, Bacillus subtilis

Microstructure and mechanical properties of lightweight structural AZ31 alloy prepared by twin-roll casting method.
Zimina, Mariia ; Cieslar, Miroslav (advisor)
Title: Microstructure and mechanical properties of lightweight structural AZ31 alloy prepared by twin-roll casting method Author: Mariia Zimina Abstract: Microstructure of AZ31 twin-roll cast magnesium alloy was studied using light optical, electron and atomic force microscopy. The effect of annealing temperature on the microstructure was tested. Mechanical properties of a thin magnesium strip were investigated by means of microhardness tests and tensile tests at a relatively low strain rate 10-3 s-1 . Results show that the ductility of the twin roll cast strip increases with increasing deformation temperature, however, a remarkable decrease was observed at about 200 řC. This effect appears also in a conventionally cast ingot of a master alloy and is caused by a change of a deformation mode occurring at this temperature. Moreover, the effect of severe plastic deformation on the microstructure and mechanical properties was studied. Equal channel angular pressing was applied on magnesium strip samples and lead to a significant grain refinement accompanied by an unfavorable strengthening of the initial basal texture, which is effectively suppressed by a subsequent annealing. A constrained groove pressing was for the first time successfully applied on AZ31 twin-roll cast strip leading to an increase of...
