The study of membrane receptors by radioligands binding
Rejhová, Alexandra ; Hudeček, Jiří (advisor) ; Hejnová, Lucie (referee)
Drug addiction, opiates respectively, is a social problem which seriousness is currently on the rise. One of key elements causing addiction is tolerance to increasing doses of drug causing abstinence syndrome during withdrawal and craving. Opioid receptors are members of a large group of receptors coupled with heterotrimeric G-proteins (GPCR), whose properties can be investigated using agonist- stimulated binding [35 S] GTPγS. Many extracellular signals are transferred into a cell through GPCR. Opioid receptor agonists inhibit the activity of adenylyl cyclase and are coupled with G-protein group Gi/Go. This work is devoted to the study of changes in isolated plasma membranes of rat forebrain containing opioid receptors of healthy subjects with membranes acquired from morphine addicted subjects. The rats were long-term morphine treated in increasing doses, to develop the dependency. The comparison is done firstly by binding of [3 H]ouabain to Na,K-ATPase, which proves to be a negative standard of changes, secondly by binding [35 S]GTPγS to G-proteins, thereby providing the functional activity of G-protein in stimulating the binding by the agonist of δ-opioid receptors DADLE or agonist of µ-opioid receptors DAMGO. Furthermore, it has been studied the influence of prostaglandin E1 on binding [35...

Management of the protected areas in sand habitats
Šímová, Kamila ; Pivnička, Karel (referee) ; Münzbergová, Zuzana (advisor)
Management of the protected areas in sand habitats is a thesis interested in the management techniques in relation to the sand habitats. In Central Europe, sand habitats are a rare and threatened grassland biotope. In the Czech Republic, we can find natural sand habitats localities, which are threatened by the human impact and anthropogenic localities, which tend to increase in number. Diversity and richness of the natural stands is gradually decreasing due to the high sensitivity of the species to any change of the local environment. These changes are mainly caused by the human activity. The negative effects are eutrophication, acidification and accelerated succession. The management of the sand habitats should contain many succession regulation tools and techniques reducing eutrophication. I discuss mowing, removal of the expansive plant species, pasturage, burning and sod disturbance or sod cutting. Each of these methods has specific impacts on the ecosystems and the best management combines them to achieve the best performance of the protected area. The most preferable method seems to be sod cutting, due to its high effectivity. However, there are many questions about sod cutting that need to be answered in a future study, such as how the population dynamics after sod cutting will look like, what the...

Visual mismatch negativity among patients with schizophrenia
Urban, Aleš ; Libiger, Jan (advisor) ; Brázdil, Milan (referee) ; Přikryl, Radovan (referee)
Cognitive deficit is considered to be one of the basic symptoms of schizophrenia. It is associated with the social impairment and the long term outcome of the disorder. In addition to neuropsychological methods, event-related potentials can be used to study cognitive functions. In patients with schizophrenia an association was found between the amplitude changes of slow negative component of evoked responses to infrequent deviant stimuli in a series of uniform stimuli. This change is known as mismatch negativity (MMN) and it is assumed to be independent of the focused attention and effort that may interfere with neuropsychological testing. The recent accumulation of knowledge on MMN as a possible preattentive measure of perceptual processing supports its potential significance for diagnostic and functional evaluation of schizophrenia. MMN elicited by visual stimuli (vMMN) was described by several research teams, but it has not been investigated in schizophrenia as yet. Using a motion-direction paradigm, we elicited visual MMN in 24 patients with schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder. The vMMN was computed as difference in areas under curve (AUC) of visual ERPs to standard and deviant motion direction stimuli recorded from midline derivations at the interval of 100-200 msec. AUC were compared...

REFORM OF HEALTH SERVICE
Hanáčková, Michaela ; Munzi, Tomáš (advisor) ; Vebrová, Ludmila (referee)
In doing my thesis, I wanted to compare the medical health care systems of the United States and the Czech Republic. I did the analysis for these two countries because their medical systems are quite different. United States applies a form of medical health that is based on the principle of free choice and competition in the market where as the Czech social system uses compulsory insurance for every citizen. My goal was to clarify which system is the more efficient method for quality health care. In the theoretical part, we are dealing with specifics of the health care market and I outline aspects of the methods used to combat moral hazard. The analytical part consists of a framework to clarify the differences in the systems, evaluate their positive and negative aspects and how each system impacts the individual residents of each country. In the final part of this work I will try to propose a solution that would improve the situation of medical health care in the Czech Republic and the United States of America.

Population Development of Kazakhstan: Geographic, Economic and Geopolitical aspects
Rodionov, Viktor ; Pavlík, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Tomeš, Jiří (referee)
Geopolitical role and population development of the Republic of Kazakhstan: recent developments and prospects V. Rodionov Abstract Present research is an attempt to define the influence of the demographic factor on geopolitical development of Kazakhstan. Kazakhstan is of a specific interest herein due to its strategically important geographical location and presence of natural resources. Taking into account these factors, Kazakhstan has certain claims on leadership in the region. At the moment, Kazakhstani geopolitical leadership is based on economic achievements of the country and its political stability. At the same time demographic factor is quite sensitive from the strategic point of view. Kazakhstani population is relatively inconsiderable in number for its region. Moreover, some negative tendencies of distribution of population and its structural changes are causing concern. The government is aware of the gravity of these problems and is making certain efforts to change the situation. Nevertheless, it is very important to acknowledge the demographic factor as strategically important.

Unconditional sentence of imprisonment
Kašparová, Irena ; Herczeg, Jiří (advisor) ; Gřivna, Tomáš (referee)
84 Résumé The task of criminal law in every democratic state is to protect society against criminality. In order to perform this task criminal law has at its disposal resources which represent criminal sanctions. Amongst these sanctions a unique place is occupied by the unconditional imprisonment, which is what this thesis is concerned with. Ever increasing criminality, which is affecting most states, is provoking discussions on the effectiveness of punishment, its methods, and the commensurateness of punishments. The Czech Republic is far from being the only country forced to resolve problems associated with a growing prison population and the increased costs of the prison system. Unconditional imprisonment is a universal and basic punishment in the Czech Republic. It has a long tradition and a fixed place in the legal awareness of society. It is the strictest punishment and represents an extraordinarily serious intervention into the sphere of the human rights and freedoms of the individual. The enforcement of unconditional imprisonment is accompanied by a host of negative consequences, such as the interruption of social links, adaptation to prison culture and a problematic return of a convicted person into society. Furthermore, we should not forget the economic aspect, since the enforcement of a prison...

Dopad PZI na produktivitu -- Spillovers efekty v České republice
Lehmann, Richard ; Klosová, Anna (advisor) ; Castro, José Villaverde (referee)
This dissertation analyzes productivity changes connected with inflow of foreign direct investment. Specifically indirect effects of foreign direct investment (spillovers) on firms in the Czech Republic in period 2000 -- 2006 are analyzed. As a proxy for productivity spillovers is used total factor productivity, which is retrieved by implementing the Levinsohn -- Petrin technique, which control the simultaneity bias in the production function. Using firm-level data, obtained from Amadeus database, a significant spillovers effects of foreign direct investment on productivity were identified -- a stronger positive impact on upstream sector and weaker negative impact on downstream sector.
