Barbora Sokolová Allergic diathesis (Diploma Thesis) Charles Univerzity in Prague, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Study Programme : Pharmacy Aim of Work: The objective of this thesis was to confirm and/or evaluate known risk factors leading to an allergic indisposal. Methods: Statistical reprocessing of the data reached by the 2005 questionnaire. The questionnaire was focused on the incidence of allergies in children born between 1992-3. Results: Statistically significant results were observed in groups concerning: vomitting during pregnancy (esp. children born between the fall 1992 and the beginning of 1993); the firts-born and/or only-born children; mothers with significantly reduced weight, risk-pregnancy lasting for more than 7 months and very low physical activity during pregnancy. Protective effects showed the children being born as higher number among larger number of children as well as non-altered physical activity of the mother during pregnancy. It has been also concluded that the mother's BMI corresponds to the lenght of breast- feeding and the child's BMI respectively. Conclusions: Vomitting during pregnancy as well as mother's BMI and/or longterm risk-pregnancy can be considered as a risk-factor for an allergy incidence. Low physical activity during pregnancy projects the same...

Jílková, Daniela ; Horáček, Ondřej (advisor) ; Kobesová, Alena (referee)
Aim: The aim of this thesis "Examination of vegetative system in hereditary neuropathy" is to consider the level of physical fitness, physical actvity level and quality of autonomic function in patients with hereditary neuropathy Charcot Marie Tooth and an assessment of interactions of these parameters, especially with regard to possible influence by the presence of autonomic neuropathy and with regard to neurological symptoms. Background: Although vegetative neuropathy was mentioned in the first publication about CMT, it is not widely discussed topic as part of it. Methods: Seventeen probands underwent spiroergometry, heart rate variability test, six minute walk test, rating by the CMT Neuropathy Score and Overall neuropathy disability scale and completing the IPAQ questionnaire. Results: We found symptoms of autonomic neuropathy in group of patients with CMT, especially high-frequency part of heart rate variability spectrum has a particularly significant decrease. Patients with autonomic neuropathy have shown a low fitness and functional capacity, tendency to obesity and hypertension. The observed correlation of autonomic neuropathy and neurological impairment was very weak. Conclusions: We find a neuropathy of the autonomic nervous system in patiens with hereditary motor and sensitive neuropathy...

Comparison of senzitivity of the Omron HJ - 720IT pedometer according to the location on the body
Bohdanová, Markéta ; Slabý, Kryštof (advisor) ; Procházka, Michal (referee)
The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of a biaxial piezoelectric pedometer Omron HJ-720IT according to a position it was attached to on a body with a classic spring - levered pedometer Yamax SW-200, which was approved to be valid in previous studies. The Total of 57 probands (39 females and 18 males) participated in the study, which contains 3 parts. In the first part the pedometers were tested in a self - paced walking condition ("slow", "moderate" and "very brisk" walking) on a track of 135 m in length. The second part included four-minute sections of walking on a treadmill under controlled conditions at following speeds: 3.2, 4.8 , 6,4 and 7,5 km.h-1 and slopes: 0 %, 5 % and 10 % and two fifteen-minutes sections at 4km.h-1 with no inclination and 6 km.h-1 with 5 % slope. The third part was aimed to record artifacts while going by bus. At no position at speed 4.8 km.h-1 the 1 % error was exceeded. The highest accuracy was achieved with Omron on a belt of(above) a SIAS. It is also reliable in counting of aerobic steps at this position. While going by bus it counted 3 steps/min at most at all positions. Omron Pedometer HJ-720IT proved validity and reliability at various mounting positions under self-paced and prescribed walking conditions. Keywords: pedometer, Omron, Yamax, physical activity,...

Enthesopathies and physical activity in the Great Moravian population (9th-10th century) with regard to social status and living conditions.
Havelková, Petra ; Velemínský, Petr (advisor) ; Brůžek, Jaroslav (referee) ; Macháček, Jiří (referee)
7 ABSTRACT The occurrence of enthesopathies is associated with muscle insertion sites and physical activities. The aim of this work is focused on two basic target areas. In the methodical section, I tested two methods of enthesopathy evaluation (Crubézy, 1988; Villotte, 2006) and I monitored the influence of age and physical stress on the incidence of enthesopathies in a documented skeletal collection from Greece. The main aim was then the evaluation of enthesopathies in the Great Moravian population from the settlement agglomeration Mikulčice-Valy (9th -10th century) using the selected method and the subsequent interpretation of the results attained, taking into consideration the archaeological facts relating to the given locality. Based on the observed degrees of concordance between the repeated evaluations, I used Villotte's method (2006) for final evaluation. I proved the correlation between the prevalence of enthesopathies and age in individuals from a recently documented skeletal collection. I was unable to demonstrate the influence of physical activity on the incidence of enthesopathies. This is apparently due to the small number of individuals with manual and non-manual occupations. In individuals from the Mikulčice settlement agglomeration, I recorded a demonstrable difference between individual...

Physical demands of selected professions, creating a compensative program for sedentary profession.
FRÖSTLOVÁ, Daniela
The main theme of my work is finding the locomotive load in selected professions and build a compensation program for professionals with a sedentary job. When selecting this topic for me was the decisive topicality of the selected topic, I see especially in the ever-growing problems with musculoskeletal system of persons employed in sedentary occupations, which are one of the consequences of their employment. The first theoretical part of the thesis includes a detailed analysis of the issues examined based on theories that describe the anatomy and physiology of the musculoskeletal system. I characterize also the sedentary lifestyle and sedentary employment in general and describe workplace ergonomics professionals selected for the needs of my thesis. In theory there need explaining motion compensation modes based on medical aspects of the workforce in selected professions sedentary jobs. The practical part of the thesis was to determine the quantitative research on a sample of probands peace musculoskeletal load in connection with the exercise of their profession. Results of the research were my starting point to build a compensation programs that would positively affect the quality of life of current probands. To meet the targets I have been primarily assisting methods of quantitative research using questionnaires. The reason for choosing this method is smooth and straightforward data collection enabling the rapid analysis and processing. The research group of people that was chosen includes professions that are characterized by their sedentary job: professional driver, an office worker and painter Christmas decorations. I observed the objectivity of the research questions musculoskeletal load in selected professions, I firmly establish the criteria on the basis of purposive sampling was assembled group of three professionals with a sedentary job. During the research, I pay attention to individual cases, carried out their detailed descriptions and subsequently proposed compensatory exercises by the parties for some time applied. After this time was collected by new data and a qualitative comparison with the data starting. I am convinced that the results of my research work can help all persons working in occupations with a sedentary job, provided the inclusion of adequate compensatory exercises in his career, but also leisure life.

Analysis of the negative aspects of the lifestyles of members of the Army of the Czech Republic
ŠOLC, David
The Bachelor´s project is focused on negative apsects of life style of members of Army of the Czech republic. The project is devided into twoo parts, theoretical and practical. First part describes not only general attributes of life style, but also negative aspects of life style e.g. stress, drugs, alcohol, smoking and relationships. The second part of the project describes how much negative apects of life style have influence on military personnal of Army of the Czech republic. Total number of respondents were 100, 17 female and 83 male. Average age was from 25 to 44 years. Results of the survey were noted into pie chart. 70% of respondents knew exactly what he terms bossing and mobbing mean, 30% of them have no idea what the terms mean, but the precise meanings are not sure. No one answered, he did not know what they mean imagine. For the ACR from my research it is clear that most physical activity takes place 3 - 4 times a week we answered 40% of the 100 respondents. In second place were respondents who engaged in physical activity 1 - 2 times a week and 5-6 times that percentage is 30% in both cases. No one answered that physical activity does not exercise at all, and no one carries physical activity 7 times or more times a week. Furthermore, 30% of respondents answered by 100 respondents did not smoke and do not mind smokers and 30% responded that they do not smoke and smokers can not stand. 20% of respondents are current smokers and 20% smoke occasionally. No one answered that it is a heavy smoker and no one is cured smoker. 90% of respondents nevyskoušelo and do not plan to try any drug. Only 10% said that marijuana or hashish experience Theky have. All of these results are shown in pie charts.

Cropping management influence on epigeic arthropods´ biodiversity
Michalčíková, Lenka ; Barták, Miroslav (advisor)
Soil biota is critical for many functions Agro Ecosystems, provides various ecosystem services. Has an impact on the water regime of soil, detoxify contaminants like. These processes (and organisms that control) determines plant growth and thus maintain long-term productivity of ecosystems Agro. Soil also hosts many invertebrate herbivores, microbial pathogens and rhizosphere organisms that have a direct impact on the growth of crops. Modi fi cation of vegetation and soil themselves agricultural activities affect soil biota, which has retroactive effect on plant growth and nutrient turnover. Indirect influence of soil biota in agriculture lies in the manipulation of plant cover, which affects the quality and quantity of organic inputs to the soil (Bartak, 2002). Just as property of the soil by soil organisms, employee participation, and vice versa soil organisms react sensitively to any changes of soil environment (Barrios, 2007). This view of individual species allows us to analyze the composition of Agro biota. For many systematic groups agrobiocenóza formed predominantly species of group 2, thus representing a degradation stage agrobiocenóza original cenózy in other taxa in turn is substantially represented group 3. Specific agrobiocenózy composition also depends on the type of culture and forms management (Barták 2002). Traditional technology tillage. Basic tillage involves plowing, plowing, and their treatment, deepening topsoil, undermining and deep soil loosening. Tillage to regulate the conditions for plant growth and development. Further modifying the physical state of the ground, regulates the ratio between water and air in the soil, acts on the activity of microorganisms and invertebrates; tillage accelerates mineralization of organic substances affects Humicola fi cation processes in the soil. The level of tillage is strongly reflected in the development of plants during all vegetation (Faměra, 1993). According Suškeviče (1997) is essential in conventional agriculture obdělávacím surgery and one of the most important measures agrotechnical plowing. Minimizing tillage systems Reducing tillage intensity, ie. Minimization system and direct the mean substantial benefits for soil fertility. The intensity of tillage has a big impact on her fertility and maturity. Such as soil fertility is understood its long-term ability to procreate, while the maturity of the soil is a measure of soil structure supporting the right fertility. The key indicators of soil fertility are the aggregation of soil particles (density, clay and humus complexes), porosity and water content and soil nutrients. The high humus content, high biological activity and low erosion are the determining factors behind the high fertility of the soil. Minimization and soil conservation systems, these factors promote (Köller and Linke, 2006). Many previous studies comparing the biodiversity of farmland under different management systems. These studies cover a wide range of taxa. Hole et al. (2005) 76 worthy of such studies. Regarding cultivation practices, there is work comparing biodiversity much less. For example Schier (2006) considers the soil conservation tillage of the soil behind friendly environment which is favorable for arthropods, particularly insects.

Čuříková, Lada ; Süss, Vladimír (advisor) ; Jandová, Soňa (referee) ; Fořterová, Petra (referee)
Headline: Swimming technique of physically disabled swimmers with unilateral above-knee amputation Aim of the Thesis: The aim of this thesis is to describe the intra-individual differences in the swimming technique of unilateral above-knee amputees by measuring the EMG of selected muscle groups. Methods: Surface EMG measurement in combination with using synchronized video recordings. Results: Research of the observed swimmers with unilateral above-knee amputation showed that: when swimming the front crawl, the swimmers unequally balance the intense kick of right and left leg mainly using the abdominal muscles and subsequently also in the electric potential of different sizes in other observed muscles; when swimming the backstroke, the upper body muscles on the side of amputated limb do not show any different activity than the muscles of the opposite side; when swimming the breaststroke, the main propulsion muscle for locomotion through the shoulder girdle - m. latissimus dorsi is activated for a longer period of time on the side of amputated limb; thereby, electrical activity of the selected muscles is not symmetrical in the timeline. Key words: swimming step, swimming, above-knee amputation, electromyography, muscle activity, handicap, EMG.
