Female coping strategies with anger
Kolářová, Anna ; Junková, Vendula (referee) ; Štětovská, Iva (advisor)
This thesis focuses on anger coping strategies, with emphasis on experiencing and expressing anger by women. First part surveys theoretical resources, especially anger in cultural framework and connection between anger coping and health. Based on theoretical background, BARQ questionnaire (Linden et. al.) and Czech version of STAXI (Stuchlíková, Man, Spielberger 1994, 2003), we designed a pilot questionnaire ANDO. Our goal was to design a questionnaire with better ability to register unhealthy anger coping mechanisms and gender differences. Using factor and cluster analysis, we established 9 subscales of strategies for coping with anger (4 of them are measuring anger coping strategies considered unhealthy) and derived preliminary standards for the questionnaire (n=212). By the means of ANDO questionnaire we measured differences and relationship between two generations of Czech women. Our sample consisted of pairs of mothers and daughters (nm=41, nd=41). We wanted to verify, whether the change of social climate in Czech Republic influenced female anger coping strategies. And also if there is a connection between mothers and daughters anger coping style. We found, that mothers incline to anger-avoiding strategy more than daughters (p<0,01). On the other hand daughters tend to use the support-seeking strategy...

Controlling of local newspaper in the Litoměřice district by the organs of KSČ during the period 1969-1989
Malinda, Jan ; Köpplová, Barbara (advisor) ; Groman, Martin (referee)
This diploma work "Controlling of local newspaper in the Litomefice district by the organs of KSC during the period 1969 - 1989" describes how the District Committee of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia (OV KSC) influenced the content of county (local) newspaper Proud in the course of so-called "normalization" period between 1969 and 1989. Being entirely ideologically subservient to av KSC, the "county newspaper" were issued in every county of Czechoslovakia. This subjection was thereby strongly expressed as to the content of the newspaper. The OV KSC intervened very often to the processing, deforming so the reporting and therefore the image of reality was particularly distorted. So called "Plan of themes", which was approved by av KSC every six months, represented the main ideological instrument for the invasion of newspaper-content. This "Plan of themes" sketched to the Proud's editorship which topics and subjects are necessarily to be published within the next six months. Another regulations to Proud came from emergency measures created by the Presidium of OV KSC. They included some dictates which were sent from the Presidium of the Central Committee KSC. Besides that, the av KSC intervened to Proud furthermore because of its decision making as to the position of the editor in chief and its...

Phasal Periphrases in Portuguese
Jindrová, Jaroslava ; Zavadil, Bohumil (advisor) ; Černý, Jiří (referee) ; Svobodová, Iva (referee)
This dissertation aims to provide a survey of periphrastic aspectual constructions in contemporary European Portuguese. The research was initially conducted on periphrastic constructions in the two main Portuguese corpuses, the CETEMPúblico and the Corpus do Portugus, and was then followed by a semantic analysis. The main problem, according to the author, consists in the fundamentally different conceptions of aspect and the nature of verbal action in Czech and Portuguese. Given that the grammatical category of aspect has different contents in Czech and Portuguese, it is preferable to use the term aspectuality as a three-layer system of interacting categories of aspect, telicity, and the nature of verbal action. If the traditional Slavic aspect is to be expressed in Portuguese by other means at various levels of construction, Czech lacks a way to render the variety of meanings of Portuguese periphrastic constructions that represent the different categories of the nature of verbal action (Aktionsart). In the dissertation, aspectuality in Portuguese is considered a system of mutually correlated categories - aspect, the nature of verbal action, and the lexical semantics of the verb. In Portuguese, the category of the nature of verbal action employs specific means that can be separated from morphological means...

Social themes in czech conceptual art of ninetieth of 20. century
Beranová, Hana ; Rakušanová, Marie (advisor) ; Bydžovská, Lenka (referee)
v anglickém jazyce Annotation in English language Social themes in Czech conceptual art of ninetieth of twentieth century My report is dedicated to period of ninetieth of twentieth century in Czech republic. I try to refer on fact that in Czech art of ninetieth (youngest generation) was conceptualism very broadly used medium. Conceptualism became temporary medium for all fields of art. After revolution social questions became frequent theme (not only), mostly cultivated by young conceptualists. I have selected most typical representatives of this genre, who use social themes, each one from different perspective. Namely it is group Pondělí, Milena Dopitová, Jiří Černický and Krištof Kintera. I analyse production of these authors and I divide them to several groups. Finally I briefly mention production of Kateřina Šedá one of the youngest artists of contemporary Czech art focusing on this subject. In the introduction I briefly outline situation during ninetieth in Czech art scene, circumstances of changes in Prague AVU, youngest generation of artists, status of galleries, exhibition CZ99. I continue mentioning conceptualism as phenomenon for Czech artists of ninetieth and I refer to installations as most commonly used mean of expression of mentioned artistic generation. In my report I try first of all...

Analysis of gene expression in maternal and fetal tissues exposed to cigarette smoke
Fejglová, Kamila ; Zikánová, Blanka (referee) ; Bruchová, Hana (advisor)
Despite widespread awareness of the adverse health effects of smoking, pregnant women expose themselves to this factor (firsthand and/or secondhand smoke). Cigarette smoke exposure during pregnancy increases the risk of preterm delivery, abortion or newborn sudden death syndrom. To study molecular mechanisms of cigarette smoke exposure in tissues of pregnant women and their newborns, we employed genomic approach and assessed gene expression profiles in leukocytes from maternal peripheral blood and umbilical cord blood and in placenta as well. Gene expression profiles of these tissues were determined by Illumina HumRef8 v3 expression chips that enable analysis of 23 811 coding, annotated transcripts. Microarray data were normalized using the quantile method. Differential gene expression was analyzed using moderated t-statistic. A linear model was fitted for each gene given a series of arrays using lmFit function. Multiple testing correction was performed using the Benjamini and Hochberg method. Comparative analysis of gene expression profiles between smokers (N=23) and non-smokers (N=62) revealed many deregulated genes, demonstrating a negative effect of cigarette smoke on transcriptome of the tested tissues. In peripheral blood of smokers, we detected overexpression of these genes; e.g. IFI27, IFIT1L,...

Gothic mural painting in castle chapels in Bohemia
Čechová, Lucie ; Hlaváčková, Jana Hana (advisor) ; Royt, Jan (referee)
This work is an investigation of Czech Gothic murals in castle chapels in Bohemia. The key for including of a mural to the catalogue was the founding date between early middle-ages up to the year 1526; end of the hegemony of the Jagellon dynasty amongst Bohemian Kingdom. The core of the work is a comprehensive catalogue of such murals. Included are 12 localities where these murals can be found, dating through 300 years of the middle-ages. Not included in this catalogue are the three well-documented sacral spaces in Karlštejn castle, although they also fit the time period in question. It must be acknowledged that the Karlštejn chapel murals are key elements in understanding this style and era, due to their quality and influential nature. This essay sought to isolate and explore any specific typology in this class of artwork. However, it must be stated that no such unique common character exists. The murals are more a reflection of the requirements and tastes of the individual patrons; they also express the fashion of their particular eras. There are also discrepancies in quality, which vary from century to century. In the 14th century, the quality of the investigated murals cannot be compared to that of paintings in the court of the King. However, by the late 15th and 16th centuries, the quality of murals...

Pain assessment in intensive care nurses view
Haklová, Andrea ; Koutná, Markéta (advisor) ; Nosková, Pavlína (referee)
Pain has a strong impact on quality of life. Even nowadays, in Czech Republic pain is underestimated both by sanitarians and patients. In consequence of this depreciation, only marginal pain treatment applies and the means are not always appropriate. Progress in medicine goes forward all the time. We are finding new solutions for formerly insolvable problems. Despite of that, quality of life in 21.century is significantly influenced by pain and even these days people are dying in pain, which we are unable to abolish completely. In health care we witness pain more often then anywhere else. That is the reason for this work to focus on matters of pain and its treatment. The aim of this thesis is to investigate handling pain at the Intensive Care Units. I focused on departments of anesthesiology and intensive care, where most often are unconscious people who cannot express the pain verbally. I tried to observe if nurses are familiar with signs of pain, whether they are able to assess the pain and which is the most common way of this assessment. Likewise I was interested in how the documentation aimed on pain is administered. First part of the thesis clarifies the theory of pain, which is briefly described here. In the second part of the work there are results of the questionnaire. The questionnaire was targeted...

The theatre of Ramón María del Valle-Inclán
Gojda, Petr ; Fousek, Michal (advisor) ; Sánchez Fernández, Juan Antonio (referee)
This work, The theatre of Ramón del Valle-Inclán, studies the dramatic literature of an author who creates mostly in the first quarter of the twentieth century, i.e. in the period of the first reform of the theatre. During the first chapters we analyse our concept of drama as a literary piece, see it's characteristics and it's evolution in the modern creation. We end up saying that a modern dramatist leaves behind the clasicist model of his art, where the author's opinions and points of view step aside before those of his lively characters. Nevertheless he conserves and maybe even emphasizes the plurality of perspectives that the dramatic genre offers to him. And so even in Valle-Inclán where the plurality inside his dramas unites to the plurality of different dramatic genres in the totality of his dramatic art. The recreation of the traditional genres from farce to tragedy serves well to express the artistic points of view about the contemporary Spanish situation.
