Children's commercial sexual Abuse as a Topic for Theological Ethics
Milfait, René ; Rethmann, Albert-Peter (referee) ; Ovečka, Libor (referee)
RESUME Not every child can enjoy a happy childhood in an environment that provides for delivering of his/her essentials of life, and thus allows for complex development of his/her personality. Not only in the Czech Republic, but in the whole world, there are still children that suffer from physical and psychic neglect and abuse, as well as sexual exploitation; very often, the abuser is a family member or someone known to the child. The most serious form of maltreatment caused to the child in today's world is the sexual abuse for financial or other economic reasons, i.e. the Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children (CSEC). This involves trafficking, prostitution, sex tourism, pornography, incest, rape and sexual harassment. The submitted thesis discusses commercial sexual exploitation of children within the framework of theological ethics. The phenomenon is described and examined here and related challenges and suggestions are defined with respect to the individual as well as social ethics. The problem is partly discussed also in context of the legal ethics, because the manifestations of CSEC are considered vice crimes or sexual assaults. The first, more general, chapter of the thesis is focused on the definition of the Child Abuse and Neglect Syndrome (CAN) and the process of recognizing the phenomenon in...

Comparison of oil price growth during 1st and 2nd oil shock in the 1970's with current situation : Is there a treat of third oil shock?
Murková, Viera ; Hlaváček, Michal (advisor) ; Cahlík, Tomáš (referee)
Bachelor thesis on Comparison of oil price growth during 1st and 2nd oil shock in the 1970's with current situation: Is there a threat of 3rd oil shock? consists of three main parts. The first part describes the state of economy in the 1970's, reasons causing the oil shocks, how they affected the developed countries and how these countries settled up with related problems.The second part focuses on the situation in the 21st century, high oil prices and its consumption and effects on economies that have tried to learn from the previous mistakes, which they made in the 1970's. The last part focuses on predictions to the future and possible alternatives to oil. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Psychosocial Problems in Pregnant Women : Anxiety and Fear during Pregnancy
Tisová, Markéta ; Mellanová, Alena (advisor) ; Marková, Eva (referee)
This theoretical and empirical work addresses experience with anxiety and fear during pregnancy of primiparae. In the theoretical part the pregnancy is defined. Physical, psychical and social changes are described as well as adjustment of women to pregnancy. Further on there are general characteristics of the concept of anxiety and fear with their demonstrations and results. In the next part there is the description of anxiety and fear in pregnancy, their reasons, possible demonstrations and results of anxiety and fear in pregnancy. The research project of my graduation work was focused at the detection of how far the primiparae experience fear and anxiety during pregnancy and what reasons and cause are indicated. We tried to find out if there are any correlations between fear and anxiety in pregnant women and if there is any possibility to estimate in advance which group of women would experience fear and anxiety more. We also tried to find out what helps the pregnant women to get rid of these fears and anxiety or how can these feelings be reduced and if there is any possibility to prevent these feelings. Next we wanted to know how the primiparae get the information about pregnancy and which information is considered most appropriate.

The electroencephalographic changes in animal serotonergic model of psychosis-the study of EEG connectivity in relation to behavior
Tylš, Filip ; Páleníček, Tomáš (advisor) ; Mareš, Pavel (referee) ; Chvátal, Alexandr (referee)
The present thesis deals with the electrophysiological and behavioral correlates of the effects of serotonergic psychedelics in an animal model of psychosis. In the general part, we describe the phenomenology and neurobiology of psychotic diseases and the altered states of consciousness induced by serotonergic psychedelics. Furthermore, we outline the pharmacological models of acute psychosis with a focus on serotonergic substances, particularly the active substances from hallucinogenic mushroom - the indolamine psilocybin and its active metabolite psilocin. We briefly explain the method of quantitative electroencephalography (QEEG) and summarize the main findings of QEEG in animals and humans intoxicated by serotonergic psychedelics. The experimental part of the thesis describes the pharmacokinetics of psilocin, its effects on the behavioral pattern, locomotion and sensorimotor processing of information, as well as sex differences in the behavioral response. A medium dose of psilocin caused atypical behavioral figures, decreased locomotion and disturbance in sensorimotor processing of information, with the females being more resistant to this effect. Another focus of the thesis is the dynamics of QEEG changes in time (EEG absolute power spectra and EEG coherences), as recorded from the cortex of...

Fat tax - the tool in the battle against obesity
Nedvídek, Václav ; Písař, Pavel (advisor) ; Kuhn, Petr (referee)
Object of this thesis is fat tax. Thesis analyses theoretically causes and effects of substantial increase of obesity in last decades. It looks on the justifiability of state's intervation to the market for the reason of increasing rate of obesity and analyses pretexts for this intervation. It suggests the ideal solution of the obesity problem. It denominates the main tools of state, by which state combat against obesity and focuses theoretically and practically on the fat tax. It analyses the benefits and costs of the fat tax and comments the effectiveness of this tax on the model studies. In last chapter it analyses dependence between the fat tax and the rate of obesity in the USA.

The effects of long double-stranded RNA expression in mammalian cells.
Nejepínská, Jana ; Svoboda, Petr (advisor) ; Petr, Jaroslav (referee) ; Štefl, Richard (referee)
Double stranded RNA (dsRNA) is a foreign molecule that arises in the cell either as a by-product of viral replication or it is produced by the intramolecular or intermolecular pairing of complementary RNAs, often originating from repetitive sequences. In mammals, dsRNA can enter one of three pathways: the sequence-specific RNA silencing, the sequence-independent interferon (IFN) response, or editing by adenosine deaminases. The main focus of my PhD project was to comprehensively analyze the effects of the expressed dsRNA in mammals in the context of the whole organism. To follow this aim, we generated a construct expressing dsRNA in a form of an mRNA containing a long perfect hairpin structure. Transgenic mice ubiquitously expressing dsRNA were viable and, in contrast to the previous studies, the IFN response was not activated. In somatic cells, dsRNA was poorly processed into small interfering RNAs, did not cause transcriptional silencing in trans, and underwent low adenosine deamination without the nuclear retention. Consistent results were obtained in human cells transiently transfected with a dsRNA-expressing plasmid. On the other hand, dsRNA expression caused robust RNA interference (RNAi) in oocytes. Thus, we show for the first time that expressed dsRNA, in contrast to many other forms of...

Left ventricle remodeling in patients with primary aldosteronism and essential hypertension
Indra, Tomáš ; Holaj, Robert (advisor) ; Ošťádal, Petr (referee) ; Paleček, Tomáš (referee)
Myocardial damage is one of the most serious consequences of arterial hypertension. Changes in the heart structure and function develop not only due to pressure overload itself, but many other hemodynamic and neurohumoral factors contribute to their formation. Our work has compared echocardiohraphic strucutural anf functional changes of the left ventricle, caused by essential hypertension and hypertension associated with primary aldosteronism (PA) as the most common reason for secondary hypertension. The first part of our work focused on the differences in left ventricle geometry in men with PA and essential hypertension after separating it's low-renin form (where, similarly to PA, the plasma volume expansion was considered to have the dominant effect on left ventricle remodelation). In men with low-renin forms of hypertension including PA, we observed greater both endsystolic and enddiastolic diameter of the left ventricle, lower relative wall thickness and more frequent eccentric type of hypertrophy when compared to essential hypertensives with normal renin levels. Whereas left ventricle cavity diameters were positively correlated to aldosterone levels, wall thicknesses were associated mainly with hypertension severity expressed as an average 24hour blood pressure and number of antihypertensives....

ACTING IN THE LIFE AND THE LIFE IN ACTING
Müller, Richard ; PLEŠTILOVÁ, Miroslava (advisor) ; ŠIKTANCOVÁ, Jaroslava (referee)
This thesis deals, in general, with the topic of theatrical experience of a young person, and examines everyday life influences on his artistic life and on the development of art within the person self. It poses questions and looks for answers to some of those questions in the specialist literature, or by deducing from personal experience.First, numerous influences that affect a person during his studies are presented, the importance of a person’s psychological profile, as well as his understanding of himself, and of the world around him. Later on, personal experience from professional carrier is described. I am disclosing character work in the DISK theatre and I am trying to find reasons for my feelings, both, good and bad, during the rehearsing processes, and the cause of my successes and failures. Acting, on stage as well as in front of the camera, is described from an unusual point of view, focusing greatly on details that are oftentimes overlooked.The new perspective from which I am trying to present acting and the life of an artist consists not only of the professional tools for mastering the craft - such as learning new parts, adopting the technical skills, etc. - but emphasizes humanity, underlines its importance, and searches for a threshold between professional and personal life of an actor.

Vliv chronicky podávaných subletálních dávek parakvatu na délku telomer a rezistenci vůči oxidačnímu stresu drozofily
TOMÁŠKOVÁ, Jindřiška
As the most widely dispersed fauna around the world, insects are exposed to a range of stresses within their environments. Oxidative stress causes a disturbance of the balance between production of free radicals and antioxidant response, which leads to various physiological changes in an organism. Despite this, there are several of defense mechanisms, which include in particular the main antioxidant enzymes AKH. In this thesis, I tried to contribute especially to understand the physiological nature of telomere elongation after exposure to free radicals.

Yellow rust protection on the wheat
Hanzalová, Alena ; Bartoš, Pavel
Heavy incidence of yellow rust in the years 2014 and 2015 has proved high deleterious effects of this rust. For this reason this publication deals with yellow rust on wheat. Rusts on wheat cause losses every year. In the years of an epidemic yield can be decreased by more than a half. Epidemics of stem rust and yellow rust occur in irregular intervals. Leaf rust causes damage every year particularly in central and southern part of Moravia. Chemical control limits yield losses, however in the case of heavy rust incidence this control particularly on susceptible cultivars is not sufficient. Repeated chemical treatments increase the costs and are limited by phytosanitary regulations. Economic and ecologic rust control consists in resistance breeding and growing resistant cultivars. Knowledge of virulence in the rust poppulation and suitable sources of resistance are prerequisites for successful resistance breeding. This publication presents a summary of data from literature on the yellow rust on wheat. Data on resistance of the grown cultivars and possibilities of the chemical control are included.
