The role of migration in development of population structure in South Kazakhstan region
Kurbanov, Ismail ; Kučera, Tomáš (advisor) ; Burcin, Boris (referee)
The given master's thesis is devoted to the research of migration role in the demographic development of the population structure of South Kazakhstan region in the period from 1999 to 2008. The region differs from other regions by a relatively high birth rate a low death rate and a high migratory exchange, both in an internal migration and in interregional migration. On the one hand, South Kazakhstan region is a donor for other regions in the country, and, on the other hand, is a recipient in international migration. On this basis the research considers migration role in the change of the total number of the population, and also in the changes of sex-age structures of the population which is exposed to changes owing to migration. The urgency and importance of the given research consists in considering the role of migration in changes of the population of the region. While considering the general changes, which migration makes in population structure, the streams of migration were divided into international and interregional migration. That's why this research shows the level of the influence of international and interregional migration on changes of the population structure. Key words: Kazakhstan, South Kazakhstan region, population development, development of age- sex structure, the role of migration.

Identity of the greek minority and its transnational activities in the CR
Hluchá, Zuzana ; Janská, Eva (advisor) ; Seidlová, Markéta (referee)
The main content of this Thesis is to assess the situation of the Greek minority in the territory of the Czech Republic in the context of its arrival, settlement and integration to the major society. The aim is to assess the current situation of the minority and its transnational activities. The Greek minority in our country is numerically stable and fully integrated into the main society. The typical feature of minority is the identification with other members of minority trough their organizations and also through the internal identification with the country of their origin (namely Greece), by the traditional culture, history, cuisine and language. The Thesis is divided into eight parts that are relevant to understanding the problems of Greek minority in our country in the context of involuntary emigration from war torn Greece in the 1950's. The methods used in this thesis were the secondary analyses and the field research (the questionnaire survey). The simple statistical methods were used to gain final result. Key worlds: Greek minority, migration, identity, transnational, diaspora.

Labour market and spatial mobility in Plzen region
Duda, Petr ; Čermák, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Matušková, Alena (referee)
The Czech Republic underwent considerable social, political and economic changes after 1989. An important step was the creation of the labor market where jobs and wages were created based on market supply and demand. Due to effects of these market forces, unemployment was an unavoidable consequence. . Closely related to this was workforce flexibility which over the years became increasingly important. People migrating for work also had an effect on the housing market. The main objective of this thesis is to analyze the labor market in the Plzeň Region and the related spatial mobility since 2000 (with a brief development in the 90's). Another important objective is to determine to what extent the migration of the population is affected by the labor market situation and developments in the housing market. Two major institutions were used as the data source for processing thse reviews. The Labour Market in the Plzeň Region was mapped on the basis of data from the Labour Office in Plzeň. Data on development of spatial mobility and the housing market was gained from the Czech Statistical Office online databases and also from the Regional Office of CSO in Plzen. Key words: migration, labour market, housing market, Plzen

Approaches of nursery school teachers to foreigners' children
Barjaktarevičová, Zuzana ; Bittnerová, Dana (advisor) ; Levínská, Markéta (referee)
The increasing number of foreigners living in the Czech Republic causes the accrual of children from the foreign families in the educational institutions. The teachers in Czech nursery schools face the situation when they have to adjust their work and help these children integrate with the community. The contents of this thesis are the possibilities that the Czech educational system offers to foreigners' children and the views of teachers of some nuersery schools in Prague. Keywords Foreigners Integration Nursery School Migration Preschool Education Teacher

The biological importance of CAS SH3 domain tyrosine phosphorylation
Janoštiak, Radoslav ; Brábek, Jan (advisor) ; Dvořák, Michal (referee)
Protein CAS is a major tyrosine-phosphorylated protein in cells transformed by v-crk and v-src oncogenes. It is a multidomain adaptor protein, which serves as a scaffold for assembly of signalling complexes which are important for migration and invasiveness of Src-transformed cells. A novel phosphorylation site in N-terminal SH3 domain was identified - tyrosine 12 located on binding surface of CAS SH3 domain. To study biological importance of tyrosine 12 phosphorylation, non-phosphorylable (Y12F) and phosphomimicking ( Y12E) mutant of CAS were prepared. We found that phosphomimicking mutation Y12E leads to decreased interaction of CAS SH domain with kinase FAK a phosphatase PTP-PEST and also reduce tyrosine phosphorylation of FAK. Using GFP-tagged CAS protein, we show that Y12E mutation caused delocalization of CAS from focal adhesion but has no effect on localization of CAS to podosome-type adhesion. Non-phosphorylable mutation Y12F cause hyperphosphorylation of CAS substrate domain and decrease turnover of focal adhesion and associated cell migration of mouse embryonal fibroblasts (MEFs) independent to integrin singalling. Analogically to migration, CAS Y12F decrease invasiveness of Src-transformed MEF. The results of this diploma thesis show that phosphorylation of Tyr12 in CAS SH3 domain is...

The role of dipeptidyl peptidase-IV and homologous proteases in migration and invasion.
Fejfarová, Edita ; Rösel, Daniel (referee) ; Bušek, Petr (advisor)
Migration and invasion are processes which naturally occur in organism during embryogenesis, immune reactions or wound healing. These processes are very important factors in some serious diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and carcinogenesis. There is no doubt about contribution of proteases in these processes-many of them degrade extracellular matrix and thereby facilitate the movement of cells. While dipeptidylpeptidase-IV cleaves solely two amino acids from N-terminus so it is not considerably involved in ECM degradation. DPPIV and its homologues recognize peptides with proline on penultimate position, which causes resistance to ordinary types of proteases. Substrates of DPPIV and its activity homologues include chemokines implicated in signalling of migration - their cleavage and thus inactivation present DPPIV and DPPIV-like molecules as modulators of cell migration signalling in choriocacinoma, neuroblastoma, on Sézary cells or epithelial cells migrating in response to injury. Another activity of some DPPIV-like proteases is binding to the extracellular matrix proteins, when are helping in the attachment of cells and thus affect the migratory ability of the cells like ovarian cancer cells, prostate cancer cells, melanoma cells or kidney cells. Effects on migration and invasion have also...

Role of cAMP signaling in phagocyte migration
Dáňová, Klára ; Paňková, Daniela (referee) ; Kamanová, Jana (advisor)
Cell migration plays a key role in a wide diversity of biological processes. Migration enables phagocytic cells to localize into the site of inflammation and to lymph nodes, thereby leading to initiation of innate and adaptive immune responses, respectively. The signal transduction that coordinates phagocyte migration consist of diverse signaling proteins, being often under control of 3'-5'-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and its two effectors, protein kinase A (PKA) and Epac (exchange protein activated by cAMP). Small GTPase Rap is activated by Epac and controls phagocyte migration via activation of RAPL and RIAM proteins. On the other hand, PKA regulates cell migration via modulation of activity of other proteins, which comprise actin, integrins, small GTPases Rho, Rac, Cdc42 as well as protein VASP. A prominent feature of cAMP signalization is its spatio-temporal organization. Therefore, besides description of cAMP-regulated signaling cascades in cell migration, this bachelor thesis also depicts how changes of activity of cAMP effectors in time and place are involved in regulation of cell movement.
