The influence of therapy by Vojta reflex locomotion method on functional abilities of immobile seniors
Černá, Gabriela ; Smékal, David (advisor) ; Zounková, Irena (referee)
This project assesses effects of four -week active rehabilitation combined with Vojta reflex stimulation on mobility of bed-bound seniors. Sixteen female patients were divided into two groups of eight members, i.e. tested group and control group. Both groups were put through training focused on self-support, maintaining or enhancement of range of movement, strengthening of weak muscle groups, stability training, practicing sitting up and lying down from sitting position, and walking in the high walking frame in the case of stronger patients. Besides that the tested group underwent Vojta reflex stimulation (global model of reflex turning), coordination and stability exercise and exercise with rehabilitation tools (elastic band, over ball, small ball, water bottle). In the beginning and in the end of the project the EMS (Elderly Mobility Scale), BI (Barthel Index), and MMSE (Mini-mental State Examination) scales were tested as well as ability to turn from back to side and stability in the sitting position. Statistical comparability of both groups was proved true in the beginning of the therapy by Mann-Whitney test. There was a noticeable tendency towards higher probability of enhancing measured scores in the tested group compared to the control group after the therapy. In case of the EMS this probability was...

Uncertainty of regional climate models outputs
Kliková, Barbora ; Kalvová, Jaroslava (advisor) ; Pišoft, Petr (referee)
This thesis focuses on examination of the ability of regional climate models (RCMs) to simulate precipitation patterns in the Czech Republic and on evaluation of uncertainties due to different global climate models (GCMs) driving the same RCM and due to different RCMs driven by a single GCM. Model outputs of regional climate models RCAO and HIRHAM driven by global climate models HadAM3H and ECHAM for period 1961-1990 were analyzed. It was shown that spatial variability of mean annual precipitation totals is mainly influenced by RCM. The global driving model determines areal mean and minimum values of precipitation totals for the Czech Republic. Both regional models overestimate the mean annual precipitation totals over most of the area, more markedly with driving model ECHAM. After the analysis of the further precipitation characteristics in selected grid points, it was shown that models RCAO and HIRHAM simulate most of the characteristics differently. Most of the characteristics were not expressed well by the models; the results of the model RCAO were better. Further, the model results distinctively differ between chosen areas. This variability is more noticeable for HIRHAM.

ABILITY TO OBTAIN GRANT TITLES IN SELECTED RURAL MUNICIPALITIES
Kolářová, Kateřina ; Hupková, Martina (referee) ; Perlín, Radim (advisor)
Ability to obtain grant titles in selected rural municipalities Abstract An important theme of the Member States of the European Union is rural development. For the Czech Republic, this topic became current after accession to the EU in 2004. In previous years, the Czech Republic had the opportunity to benefit from pre-accession programs (e.g. PHARE, SAPARD) in the period 2004-2006 to use all the tools for the development of European countryside. The uniqueness of the programming period 2007-2013 is the ability to draw funds in the entire length of the programming period, and a wide range of support. The bachelor thesis deals with the cause of the success of profit grant titles of the Rural Development Programme, Operational Programme for Environment and Regional Operation Programme NUTS II Southwest. Its aim is to analyze the influence of the causes for profit grant titles of selected programs and determine whether appearance, geographic location, and civic and technical facilities of the municipalities affects the volume of money obtained from grant titles. Attention is focused on the municipalities district Klatovy in size of 500-999 people. Keywords: rural development, rural municipalities, grant titles, appearance, civic and technical facilities, geographic location

Kupka and the group Abstraction-Création
Bareš, David ; Lahoda, Vojtěch (referee) ; Wittlich, Petr (advisor)
The topic of the participation of Kupka in the groupe Abstraction-Création has never been treated before. The autor of this work seeks to chart the spectre of general artistic, politic and economic circumstances, which were the reasons of a great flourishment of abstract art in the beginning of the 30ies of the XX century in Paris. Furthermore, the professional and personal aspects of Kupka's life are shown on the correspondence exchaged with his collegues and his best friend of that period, Jindrich Waldes. During the 20ies and 30iest Kupka had serious psychic problems and the relations with Prague were often really complicated. Although he was badged by the czech government for his participation in the first world war, he returned to Paris, where he began to participate step by step in the French artistic life. His first great friendship in the french artistic milieu was with the painter Felix del Marle, who was one of the leading artists of the avantgarde groupe Vouloir active in Lille. Presumably it was Felix del Marle, who introduced Kupka to Theo van Doesburg, the ideological father of the groupe Abstraction-Création. Kupka, who was invited to participate in the groupe, became a honour member. He publicated in three numbers of the magazine of the groupe. The theorical and artistic background of Kupka...

Information complexity of strategic voting
Palguta, Ján ; Doležel, Pavel (referee) ; Turnovec, František (advisor)
The thesis computationally simulates 10 different voting procedures for small numbers of voters and small numbers of competing alternatives so as to study the vulnerability of these procedures to strategic voting. This is followed by a study of vulnerability of strategic voting to the variation in the amount of information that individual strategic agents possess. The susceptibility to strategic voting is shown to be a function of the number of election participants, of the number of competing alternatives, of the used voting procedure and prominently of the amount of information that the individual voter holds about other voters' voting preferences. Once we strip the agent of the full knowledge of the collective preference profile, we confirm the vulnerability of strategic voting both to an absolute and relative reduction in the amount of information. A minimal reduction in strategic agent's holding of information severely threatens her ability of successful strategic manipulation.

Game physical activites in favor of jung disabled people
Šedivcová, Pavla ; Hošková, Blanka (referee) ; Křiček, Jan (advisor)
Title of diploma thesis Game physical activities in favor of young disabled people. Goal of diploma thesis The goal of diploma thesis is to suggest and compile appropriate program of game motion activities, motion exercises and motion games for development in motor abilities of youth suffering from Cerebral Palsy. Method This is a case study realized on the ground of special secondary school for physically disabled people in Janské Lázně. A homogeneous group consisting of the school attendants was chosen as a research object. The methods of observation and testing in physical education lessons were used to reach the goal. Results Proven results provided the level of motor abilities and skills of students. The results of motor tests confirmed the idea of proposing a special program of exercises and motion games in a modified form for development in motor skills of students. Proposed motion exercises and games in modified form shown the usefulness and importance in praxis. There were improvements recorded in the handling of selected objects and tools, the spatial orientation was improved too. We have noticed improvements in socialization, communication and dealing with emotions. Motion games and exercises in modified form became more popular among students and they became favorite part of P.E....

The verb smět and its competitors in the corresponding modal meanings in contemporary Czech texts and Czech texts of 1550-1650
Čermáková, Alena ; Rejzek, Jiří (referee) ; Kučera, Karel (advisor)
This dissertation is dwelling on the comparison of meanings and functions of verbs (ne)smě? (may, mustn 't) and their meaning a function competitors in the Kralice Bible and in the ecumenical translation of the Holy Scriptures. It is divided into two parts. The first one tries to put (ne)smět into a wider language context. The introductory chapter is dedicated to language fields, which means of expression (ne)smět belongs to, it means to modality, voluntative modality and communicative function of speech. Various conceptions of their delimitations and divisions are shown there. The next part is dwelling on modal verbs. Their specific semantic and morfosyntactic features, the process of forming of this group of verbs and various views of the number of its members are introduced. The fourth chapter is dwelling on verbs (ne)smět, their etymology, way of their presentation in various Czech dictionaries and meanings and functions, which they expressed and express now. In the final chapter of theoretical part the theory of functional semantic field, which was one of the methodological starting points of this work, is briefly represented, then the competitors of (ne)smět in its individual meanings and functions are mentioned. The second part of the work is dedicated to the research itself. At first the...

Distributed Processing of IP flow Data
Krobot, Pavel ; Kořenek, Jan (referee) ; Žádník, Martin (advisor)
This thesis deals with the subject of distributed processing of IP flow. Main goal is to provide an implementation of a software collector which allows storing and processing huge amount of a network data in particular. There was studied an open-source implementation of a framework for the distributed processing of large data sets called Hadoop, which is based on MapReduce paradigm. There were made some experiments with this system which provided the comparison with the current systems and shown weaknesses of this framework. Based on this knowledge there was created a specification and scheme for an extension of current software collector within this work. In terms of the created scheme there was created an implementation of query framework for formed collector, which is considered as most critical in the field of distributed processing of IP flow data. Results of experiments with created implementation show significant performance growth and ability of linear scalability with some types of queries.

Search of the most suitable method of estimation of output gap for the czech economy
Kloudová, Dana ; Brožová, Dagmar (advisor) ; Mirvald, Michal (referee) ; Lukáš, Ladislav (referee)
By monetary policy decisions, central banks use output gap to keep macroeconomic variables at their natural levels. A substantial disadvantage of this variable is the fact that it is an unobservable variable which is very problematic to measure, although it is possible to estimate it with various methods of estimation. This thesis aims to find the most suitable method of estimation for Czech economy. Thirteen methods have been chosen for this aim: linear trend, quadratic trend, HP filter, band-pass filters, robust trend, univariate unobserved component model, two types of production function, two SVAR models, multivariate HP filter and multivariate unobserved component model. Own estimations have shown that estimated trajectories of unobservable states were not identical. For own selection of the most suitable method of estimation, quantitative (ability to forecast inflation ,a growth of product and data revisions by selected national and international organisations) and qualitative criterions (qualities of methods of estimation, transparency and easy application) have been selected, where emphasis was put on quantitative criterions. Results of this thesis will show that the most suitable method of estimation output gap for Czech economy is multivariate unobserved component model.
