Right extremism in CZ 2007-2010
Půbalová, Božena ; Tuček, Milan (advisor) ; Kabele, Jiří (referee)
The thesis deals with the phenomenon of right-wing extremism in the Czech Republic during 2007-2010 which is viewed from the socio-constructivist perspective of the sociological concept of moral panic. The theoretical part focuses on definition of the terms right-wing extremism and moral panic with regard to their evolution and various approaches in social theory and also briefly describes the situation and significant subjects of the Czech extremist right-wing scene in the analyzed period. The analytic part presents media content of four selected aspects and cases of right-wing extremism as published in nationally released newspaper Mladá fronta DNES which is examined in depth using qualitative content analysis. The task of the analysis was to determine to what extent and by which specific ways the representation of these cases in given newspaper fulfills the aspects and processes of an ideal type of moral panic, represented by Klocke and Muschert's hybrid model of moral panics, and how the cases are put in the general framework of constructing the right-wing extremism as a prominent social problem and a moral panic.

Study of stability of receptor specific radiopharmaceuticals
Hanzalová, Lenka ; Lázníček, Milan (advisor) ; Trejtnar, František (referee)
Thesis: Determination of radiochemical purity and stability compared to two selected receptor-specific radiolabelled peptides. Charles University, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Kralove Lenka Hanzalová, May 2011 Abstract: Radiopharmaceuticals are among medicinal substances which have very a limited application over time. Not only due to the fact that it gradually decreases their activity, depending on the half-life of the radionuclide applied, but it may also lead to destructive reactions in the molecule. In view of these reactions, there are decreases in the percentage of radiopharmaceutical degradation of products, which reduces the value of medicines. Degradation of products containing non-peptide nature radionuclides from the parent substances differ in their distribution in the body, increasing side effects, and radiopharmaceuticals, due to their nature, can accumulate in different tissues and subsequently damage them. It is therefore important to know and be able to assume representation of the evolution of the degradation of products over time. In the presented thesis, the problem of determining stability, or radiochemical purity at different time intervals in two days, is solved. Substances being compared were a synthetic somatostatin analogue, labelled with radionuclides two mA, pure beta-emitter 90...

Responses of naive primates to snakes: experiments with selected species kept in Prague zoo
Kutinová, Lucie ; Frynta, Daniel (advisor) ; Fuchs, Roman (referee)
In the wild, snakes are known to elicit strong antipredator responses in primates. Primates often mob the snakes, which is also accompanied by loud calls. In evolution, the deadly threat posed by snakes goes as far as to the origin of placental mammals. In this study, the reactions of naïve individuals to snakes were tested. Naïve pigtail macaques (Macaca nemestrina) and mouse lemurs (Microcebus murinus) avoided the snake stimulus. For the macaques there was a longer latency to touch the rubber snake compared to the latency to touch the rubber lizard. The mouse lemurs avoided feeding on the side of experimental box where the snake odor was presented. The reactions of macaques and mouse lemurs were not accompanied by vocalizations and they seemed to be overall mild. Nevertheless, the snake stimuli used here were strong enough for these naïve primates. For ringtail lemurs (Lemur catta), the reactions to uncovering a hidden rubber snake was tested. But the lemurs showed no avoiding reactions. A question for further research is whether the different results for lemurs were not caused by different experimental procedure. As well as in macaques and mouse lemurs, the reactions seemed to be very mild. But no deeper analysis of the behavior was performed. Thus, a reaction could have been overlooked, which...

Photoreceptors properties in strictly subterranean African mole-rats
Krejčová, Tereza ; Němec, Pavel (advisor) ; Kott, Ondřej (referee)
4 Photoreceptor properties and distribution in strictly subterranean African mole-rats (Rodentia, Bathyergidae) The visual system of subterranean rodents is assumed to be regressed in response to their lightless ecotope. According to the prevailing doctrine, negative or non-selective processes have driven evolutionary regression of the visual system in many unrelated groups of rodents that has adopted strictly subterranean mode of life. Among rodents this has been exemplified by detailed studies of the blind mole-rat Spalax ehrenbergi. However, recent studies involving a larger spectrum of subterranean rodent species demonstrated unexpected diversity of retinal properties and visual system designs among subterranean rodent species and thus challenged the widely held view that the visual system has undergone extensive convergent evolution in subterranean mammals. This paper examines the presence, the distribution, and photoreceptor properties in the African mole-rats (Bathyergidae, Rodentia). It describes rodopsin, S- and L-opsin expression patterns, photoreceptor densities and rod/cones proportions in five species of bathyergid mole-rats, namely Bathyergus suillus, Georychus capensis, Fukomys damarensis, Cryptomys natalensis and Heliophobius argenteocinereus. Spectral cone types and rods were assessed...

Evoluce XML schémat
Klímek, Jakub
In the present work we study possibilities in the area of XML schema evolution. The thesis contains a survey of conceptual modeling of XML data, schema matching and XML schema evolution. A new semi-automatic technique of connecting XML schemas to a conceptual model based on XSEM, a model for conceptual modeling of XML data based on MDA, is presented. It makes the design and maintenance of a set of XML schemas in an information system simpler and easier. In addition, the thesis contains a set of evolution operations allowing changes in the conceptual model to be automatically propagated to the connected XML schemas.

The analysis of some french textbooks
Ernstová, Iva ; Vacková, Alena (referee) ; Kolmanová, Jana (advisor)
VI. Résumé Ce travail s'oriente vers le sujet de didactique qui est basé sur l'analyse des méthodes utilisées dans l'enseignement du français langue étrangre (FLE) en République Tchque en vue de la préparation au baccalauréat tchque et aux examens internationaux du DELF et du DALF. Tout d'abord ce travail mentionne l'approche théorique. On distingue deux termes de base: la méthode et la méthodologie. La méthode, dans le sens proposé dans ce travail, signifie le manuel. La méthodologie est une façon d'enseigner qui influence également la création d'un manuel. Ainsi, le choix d'un manuel est-il conditionné par la méthodologie selon laquelle le manuel a été crée. Pendant l'évolution de l'enseignement du FLE on reconnaît plusieurs méthodologies: La méthodologie traditionelle qui représente la façon ancienne d'enseigner les langues étrangres, surtout les langues classiques (le latin et le grec), la méthodologie directe qui a apporté des nouvelles approches dans l'enseignement des langues étrangres au début du 20e sicle et enfin les méthodologies modernes (la méthodologie audio-orale, la méthodologie structuro-globale audio-visuelle et l'approche communicative) qui sont nées aprs la seconde guerre mondiale et qui mettent l'accent sur la compréhension orale et la communication pratique. Depuis les années 60, les...

Interactive Answering of Vague Database Queries
Marek, Petr ; Dědek, Jan (referee) ; Rubač, Tomáš (advisor)
This paper deals with the field of alternative interfaces to databases. The focus is set on natural language interfaces. The evolution of solutions and approaches is presented on the international and Czech scope. A primary target of this paper is a design of an original system 3INDB for interactive natural language query answering over a relational database. Queries are presumed to be exact or vague. The design arises from a detailed analysis of possible inputs and has his place in the context of other competing systems. A ectogrammatical representation of the input is used. The evaluation algorithm uses a meaning query representation, an additional user interaction, multiple consultations with database management system, the history of dialogue and dynamic transitive relations between semantic objects in the database. An input supports using among others negation, quantifiers, measure units, coreference, operators, vague expressions and output format specifications. Queries on system metadata are supported as well as defining new user phrases or recognizing unknown phrases. A detailed analysis of the system configuration is supplied with an initialization methodology for a real usage. The system design includes specific optimalizations for an effective query evaluation on the relational database...

The communication of the Czech Social-democratic Party in the parliamentary election in 2006
Dzurenda, Hanna Krystyna ; Špaček, Ladislav (advisor) ; Jirák, Jan (referee)
This work wants to introduce the basic history of the political communication and political marketing and then to show it on the example of Czech Social-democratic Party (CSSD) and its campaign in the parliamentary election in 2006. In the beginning there is a short overview of theories about political communication and also a chapter about the evolution of political campaigns. In the next part of this work I write about the behavior of voters during the election and what mainly influences it. As a very important topic I find the preelect surveys and how the incorrect interpretation of it can influence or change the voters' choice. Then I wanted to introduce the CSSD, so I wrote a little about it and about its history and finally there are chapters about the campaign of this party in the parliamentary election in 2006. In the Czech republic is billboard one of the most important communication tools and the CSSD used billboards a lot and so I chose this tool to show the colors and the graphic design of the campaign.

Surveillance of bacterial strains producing broad-spectrum beta-lactamase.
VLASOVÁ, Martina
In the first part of my thesis I focus on mapping problems associated with antibiotic therapy and subsequent development of antibiotic resistance. Tracking resistance is based primarily on data collection and evaluation of the results set sensitivity from around the world. Antibiotic resistance is a natural phenomenon that can be observed in the evolution of microbes as one of the mechanisms of adaptation to new conditions in the environment. For this work I have chosen the following research questions. Do the incidence of ESBL strains in the České Budějovice Hospital a.s. increase over time? Are these values comparable to those achieved in another region, namely in Moravian hospitals the University Hospital of Olomouc, Ostrava University Hospital and Regional University Hospital of T. Bata in Zlin? The data collection I made in collaboration with the laboratory technicians and doctors at Hospital?s Bacteriology Laboratory in České Budějovice. Bacteries tested for the detection of ESBL production originated from biological materials, witch came from patients of hospital in České Budějovice. The first objective was to compare the results achieved in the České Budějovice Hospital in the period of 2007 to 2012. If we look at the total number of ESBL strains that have been isolated since 2007, values have upward trend. While in 2007 there were only 64 strains a year later, the number more than doubled. In 2010, the value soared to 281 tribes and in the year 2012, the number was 321 tribes. The incidence of ESBL strains in 2007 increased about five times. In the long term we can say the numbers have increasing tendency and the range of each species in the production of ESBL has significantly changed. In 2007, it was K. pneumoniae strains that dominated the statistics, but over time the strains of E. coli came forefront. Values of 2012 suggest that the presence of ESBL strains of K. pneumoniae is again almost equal to the number of E. coli strains. The second objective was to compare the results of the 2012 with study of the Prevalence of ESBL-positive Enterobacteriaceae in large Moravian hospitals. In the general overview of ESBL producers values in Hospital České Budějovice (5.23%) are comparable to those in Ostrava (4.9%) and in Zlín (4.3%). Number of strains in the Hospital in Olomouc (11.8%) is about twice as high as the numbers in České Budějovice. In this comparison the České Budějovice Hospital is one of the hospitals with a lower incidence of ESBL producers. The České Budějovice Hospital is below the national average, which originate from an elaborate system of care for patients with colonization or infection with ESBL strains, and from therapy control system using antibiotic center. These results may serve to the Hospital in České Budějovice for statistical purposes, and also for proposals for improving patient care. In the discussion, I pointed out the danger of the spread of resistant strains of bacteria in the community and also the associated risks that mentioned bacteria mean for patients injured in mass accidents or disasters. In these cases, number of infections including ESBL producers can penetrate through open wounds into the affected body. Unlike conventional sensitive bacteria those strains are resistant to commonly used antibiotics and thereby endanger the lives of people affected by the accident.
