Electronic Communication vs. Communication Face to Face
Pipková, Zuzana ; Krtilová, Kateřina (advisor) ; Bystřický, Jiří (referee)
This thesis deals with new forms of communication particularly electronic ones. The main goal is to distinguish electronic communication from face to face communication in a way that differs from traditional media theories. By using examples of the most important medium in electronic communication, Internet, it is shown that nowadays we have such forms of electronic communication that surpass the traditional classification of oral/written communication, immediate/mediate communication, face to face discourse/computer discourse. Critical views of significant media theorists are presented as well, mainly of Jean Baudrillard, Paul Virilio, Marshall McLuhan and Vilem Flusser which are also related to the best known and used examples of new forms of communication (e-mail, chat, Facebook, Youtube, Skype, blog etc.).

The analysis is based on understanding the myth as a "true story". The inicial part thus deals with the way of creating narrative of the leader in Social Realism.

Molecular mechanisms of insulin sensitivity in relation to fat content in diet
Kuchaříková, Petra ; Horáková, Olga (advisor) ; Klusoňová, Petra (referee)
Insulin resistance is a key component of the pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes. Skeletal muscle is an important part of energy metabolism. It recieves, stores and uses most of the glucose from blood. Insulin stimulates glucose uptake, by promoting translocation of glucose transpoters to plasma membrane. It also increases the rate of protein, glycogen and triglyceride synthesis. When muscle is unable to respond to normal levels of circulating insulin, insulin resistance occurs. Insulin resistance leads to disruption of key metabolic processes. Fatty acid transport across the membrane is upregulated, whereas the ability to oxidize fatty acids is decreased. This imbalance leads to accumulation of lipid metabolites inside the cells. Lipid intermediates may interfere with insulin signalling. Inflammatory cytokines, particularly TNF, activate kinases that may inhibit the insulin signal transmission. Insulin resistance may be treated pharmacologically, but also physical activity and decrease of energy intake are important part of therapy. Also polyunsaturated fatty acids have beneficial effects on muscle insulin sensitivity.
