Family and connected things
Jeřábková, Marie ; Pešková, Jaroslava (advisor) ; Lášek, Jan Blahoslav (referee) ; Semrádová, Ilona (referee)
Family has gone through its own change during the course time and it seems that a complexity of time and a complexity of a situation inside the family das not fully aliowe a creation of a security of home and proximity. A man is disturbed, he/she lapses from ones s own principles nad often even looses meaning. Where a relationship can be terminated any time, a man does not have to make any efforts.. A hope for a melamoipliosis of a man oilers a chance for him to "return to oneself'' and to - from inside - understand a necessity for "nurturing" his or her own partnership with a lasting care - a marriage preceeded by "exclusivity" of a partner's choice. A quality of marriage and a foundation of a family is then found in a Jove lived", despite failures, where "two freedoms" meet, mutually offering their own opportunities and also belief in The Other one with the absolute hope in his or her change a"d his or her lasting discovery. Once a man understands the problem (?) he/she will find that a family and home represent for a child the highest value - the greatest gift inside which a child can grow and to let grow the original human "it", which will enable liim/or her to meet one's own "das Selbst", the wholeness of the world and of the universe. In the security of home not only a respect for difference can také...

Celda Klouček - personality and work
Teichmanová, Jana ; Prahl, Roman (advisor) ; Vondráček, Radim (referee)
This work is deling with personality and work of Celda Kloucek, a sculptor and ornamentalist living at the turn of 20th century. Celda Kloucek was born 6th December 1855 in Senomaty near Rakovnlk. Advised by his patron Milller, he decided to accept a position with ornamentalist sculptor Otto Lessing in Berlin, where he got his first professional training. Kloucek turned out to be an excellent sculptor, especially in ornamental construction work. The contracts were diverse and he learned to work with many different materials. In 1879 he enroled in professor Otto Konig special course at Arts and Crafts School in Vienna. After three years, he became a reader at Arts and Crafts School in Frankfurt am Main. In 1888, he opened his atelier at Arts and Crafts School in Prague. He was teaching here for twenty-eight years. Many recognized artists emerged from his atelier, all of them adhering to Kloucek's emphasis on clarity of composition and simplicity of the ornament. Kloucek's work evolved from ornamental creations on house exteriors in neo-Rennaissance and neo-baroque style to naturalism, and finally to Art Noveau, in which he created his master pieces: Wohanka house portal (1898), Museum of Western Bohemia in Pilsen (1900-1901), Prague Credit bank (1902), Blecha house (1904), and Order of the Cross monastery...

Václav (Remedius) Prutký OFM: Itinerarium missionum apostolicarum (introductory study, edition and translation with commentary on part I of the work)
Förster, Josef ; Svatoš, Martin (advisor) ; Hojda, Zdeněk (referee) ; Navrátilová, Hana (referee)
The dissertation presents primarily the text itself of part of Itinerarium (the first 31 chapters) in the form of a critical edition. It thus greatly eases the work of all future researchers in studying the work in the Latin original. The edition was acquired on the basis of a manuscript autograph, the property of the Franciscan Brothers Provenance in Prague kept in the National Library of the Czech Republic. The Itinerarium ranks amongst the most important works from a file of manuscript sources, the authors of which are members of the St. Wenceslas provenance of the order of lesser brothers of St. Francis, who were active during the course of the 18th century on missions in Egypt or Ethiopia and attained a prestigious standing in the mission hierarchy (Jakub Římař, Remedius Prutký, Kristián Schneider). Their works, which are of a various nature (itineraries, journals, collections of medical prescriptions, language dictionaries, liturgical manuals etc.), may be valuable sources for experts in a diverse range of fields: oriental studies, Egyptology, geography, history, linguistics, literary history etc. With regard to the fact that Prutký's literary work is unknown to the Czech reader and has been presented only thanks to the translation of two chapters acquired in the 1940s by Z. Kalista, it evidently...

New ligands for applications in medicine
Holá, Kateřina ; Holzhauser, Petr (referee) ; Kotek, Jan (advisor)
The aim of this Thesis was the preparation of macrocyclic ligands (Figure 1) for the complexation of lantanoides 3+ . Their complexes can be used in nuclear medicine (in case of ligand L1) or as MRI contrast agents (in case of ligand L2). Ligand L1 was designed to increase the rate of complexation due to the weakly binding pendant group based on iminodiacetic acid (IDA). The complexation mechanism was spectrophotometrically studied with Ce3+ . Spectrophotometric kinetic measurements proved that ligand L1 not only shown no improvement in the complexation rate but its complexation is rather noticeable slowed. Ligand L2 contains amino group whose protonization/coordination could be influenced by pH or temperature. It can be utilized in determination of physical status of different tissues. However, it is difficult to obtain the ligand L2 in sufficient purity for further studies N N NN COOHHOOC HOOC N COOH COOH P OH O L1 N N NN COOHHOOC HOOC NH2 L2 Figure 1: Ligands prepared in course of this Bc Thesis

Importance of Transporter Proteins for Fetal Protection
Hahnová, Lenka ; Štaud, František (advisor) ; Anzenbacher, Pavel (referee) ; Geršl, Vladimír (referee)
Doctoral thesis Mgr. Lenka Hahnová (Cygalová) Placenta, which represents a unique link between the mother and fetus, fulfills many functions essential for normal course of pregnancy and uncomplicated development of the fetus. Nutrient supply, gas exchange and metabolic waste product removal belong to its main roles. In addition, placenta serves as an endocrine, metabolic, immune and protective organ, since during pregnancy mother may be, either unconsciously or deliberately, exposed to a wide range of substances toxic for the fetus. Originally, it was supposed that the physiological barrier between maternal and fetal circulation is created only by cellular layers of syncytiotrophoblast and endothelium of fetal capillaries. However, it has been demonstrated that besides this mechanical component of protection, activity of drug efflux transporters and metabolic enzymes localized in the polarized syncytiotrophoblast layer contribute considerably to the protective function of placental barrier. Efflux transporters are ATP dependent membrane proteins capable of actively removing different molecules out of cells. So far, the best described drug efflux transporters are P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), significantly affecting kinetics of transplacental passage of various...

The knights Kaplíř of Sulevice on the treshold of the early modern age
Kozojed, Petr ; Bobková, Lenka (advisor) ; Čechura, Jaroslav (referee)
This thesis focuses on the history of the the family of knights Kaplíř of Sulevice. It covers a period from the first reference to this family before the half of the 14th century until the death of the last male member in the lineage at the beginning of the 18th century. The family Kaplíř of Sulevice belongs among significant members of the estate of Czech knights. In the course of the 14th and at the beginning of the 15th century the members of the family built up their property structure and that time there were 5 descents formed: descent of Sulevice, descent of Ostrý, descent of Solany, descent of Skalka-Řehlovice and descent of Vimperk. Thanks to the Hussite period the knights of Sulevice, the men of great enterprise, succeeded in penetrating more significantly even beyond boundaries of their own estates. The half of the 15th century was marked with certain stagnation (except the descent of Vimperk) which, on the contrary, was in their prime.

Some sociological aspects of the tramping movement
Urbánek, Vojtěch ; Duffková, Jana (advisor) ; Urban, Jan (referee)
The aim of this theoretical paper is to describe and analyze some of the most important sociological aspects of the tramping movement which had a serious impact upon many areas of leisure activities in the Czech republic. Beginning with a brief historical outlook, it was shown how the tramping movement have substantially been affected by specific historical circumstances. This part endeavoured to point out the most important periods which had a formative impact on the process of the tramping movement development in to an incommutable part of the Czech cul ture. The following section of the paper is designed as an attempt to categorize the movement within the broader social contex. I emphasized some of its significant features, allowing us to analyze the tramping movement throught the concept of subculture with consideration of some strong ties to particular generations. Czech tramping was also a very important element in the development of second housing, especially in the surroundings of Prague. In its early stages, the movement defined the structure and the basic shape of recreational settlements which later became the typical part of the Czech landscape. I focused mainly on the relation between the tramping movement and the cottage culture and its changes through the course of time. The next chapter i s...

Tick-borne rickettsial diseases: emerging risks in Europe
Veselá, Petra ; Janovská, Daniela (advisor)
Ricekttsiae are small, gram negative bacteria, known as an etiologic agens of many human as well as animal diseases. The course of rickettsial infections extremely differs in severity. Bacteria are transmitted via arthropodes, infected dust, milk and secretions of infected individuals. Thank to the better hygienical standards many rickettsial infections appear only in the developing countries. On the other hand some other rickettsial infections have higher incidency in atypical countries and ecosystems. This change is thought to be due to global warming. The importance of early diagnosis and proper therapy is common to all infections
