The impact of team autonomy, reflexivity and participation on employees' mental health
Mandousová, Michaela ; Šípová, Ivana (advisor) ; Mudrák, Jiří (referee)
Mental health is an important topic in the context of the work environment. Therefore, the thesis examines the impact of team autonomy, reflexivity, and participation on employees' mental health. The theoretical part focuses on the topic of mental health, the JD-R model, burnout syndrome, engagement, and team factors with a focus on autonomy, reflexivity, and participation. The empirical part aims to test whether team autonomy, reflexivity, and participation together with burnout syndrome score or work engagement are significant predictors of burnout syndrome and engagement measured one year apart. The data used to test the stated hypotheses were obtained within the framework of the international H-WORK project, which conducted a field-based longitudinal study. The project was initiated in response to growing mental health problems in the working population in Europe. This paper uses data from two companies that underwent restructuring during the project. Because of this, there was a large drop out. The data in the research part, which was subjected to linear regression analysis, was collected from 59 respondents. The results did not support the stated hypotheses. This result may be influenced by several factors, such as the high experimental mortality already mentioned. Key words: mental health;...

Semi-automatic approach to secondary sex diagnosis Rdss (Santos, 2021): Applicability in an archaeological sample
Galovičová, Tereza ; Brůžek, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Galeta, Patrik (referee)
The new R package rdss (Santos, 2021) aims to facilitate and fast track secondary sex diagnosis in large archaeological assemblages. This thesis is focused on evaluating the applicability of this new package in a real burial site dataset, as it has not yet been evaluated in this way. The applicability of the package was evaluated by comparing the results of sex diagnosis of a set of 307 adult individuals from the burial site at the 3rd church of the Great Moravian settlement in Mikulčice with the results of evaluation of the same set of individuals in previous studies by Stloukal (1967) and Zazvonilova and colleagues (2020). Using four methods of primary sex diagnosis, sex was estimated at a posterior probability level of 0.95 for 234 individuals (76.2% of the evaluated population). Secondary sex diagnosis using the rdss package estimated sex at a posterior probability level of 0.95 for 37 individuals (12.1% of the evaluated population). The total number of estimated individuals was 271 (88.3% of the evaluated population). This yield of sex diagnosis was comparable to the yield in the previous two studies. The three studies were compared using the masculinity index, which showed the same trend of male predominance over female in the population in all three cases. The agreement of the frequencies of...

The potential of parking-lots at railway stations for commuting to Prague
Malátek, David ; Marada, Miroslav (advisor) ; Haas, Václav (referee)
Metropolises like Prague are increasingly burdened by the negative aspects of growing individual car transportation. The most significant burden likely comes from the daily commute for employment from the broader Prague region to the capital. Public mass transit options are limited, and there are various reasons why people are unwilling or unable to relinquish the use of their own means of transportation. A significant reason is the limited transportation accessibility in residential areas. In contrast, in Prague, transportation accessibility is generally at a high level. Therefore, to alleviate this, Park and Ride (P+R) facilities are being established near railway stations or metro stations on the outskirts of the capital. However, in the broader Prague region within the Central Bohemian Region, such facilities are still relatively scarce. This thesis will examine the potential of Park and Ride facilities at railway stations in the Prague metropolitan area for suburban transportation, with a focus on commuting to work and schools. The issue will be elucidated based on sources of professional literature and statistical data. Subsequently, an analysis will be conducted to evaluate the feasibility of using P+R facilities for commuting to work or schools for individual municipalities in the studied...

Multichannel models of Siegert states in electron collisions with molecules
Konvalinka, Matěj ; Mašín, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Čížek, Martin (referee)
This thesis uses the phenomenon of the Siegert states and the R-matrix approach to analyze quantum scattering. The main task of the work is to implement the multichannel R-matrix method and test it on model potentials before applying it to ab initio scattering calculations. I follow up on my bachelor thesis where we described the Siegert states and their influence on the cross section and did the analysis for a short-range potential in one channel. In this work, we implement the multichannel approach within the one-particle R-matrix method. The method is tested for multichannel potentials and the long-range dipole and Coulombic potentials. Then we implement our approach into the multi-electron R-matrix UKRmol+ codes and apply our method to real molecular systems. We analyze the results of electronically elastic and inelastic calculations. 1

Use and Comparison of Selected Activating Teaching Methods by Attitude Questionnaire at the High School
Chvojová, Valerie
The central theme of the thesis is activating teaching methods, of which eleven were selected and used for its research. Specifically, these were the following ones: brainstorming, guided discussion, snowball method, inquiry-based learning, I.N.S.E.R.T. method, work with text, concept map, mind map, critical thinking method, rounds and CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning). These selected activating teaching methods were compared according to how the students evaluated them through attitude questionnaires, which is determined as the main aim of the work. Attitude questionnaires were created from the IMI (Intrinsic Motivation Inventory) tool. In the attitude questionnaire, the students evaluated the individual teaching methods in scales of interest/pleasure, perceived competence, effort/importance, pressure/tension and value/usefulness. In the scale of interest/pleasure, the snowball method was the best evaluated by the pupils, in the perspective of perceived competence also the snowball method, in the effort/importance scale the CLIL method, in the scale of pressure/tension inquiry-based learning and in the scale of value/usefulness again the snowball method. For further evaluation of the results, an index of subjective evaluation of teaching methods was created. It showed that the best...

Evaluation of breast milk production in relation to body composition in Czech lactating women.
Bugošová, Andrea ; Hronek, Miloslav (advisor) ; Kovařík, Miroslav (referee)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the production of breast milk in relation to the body composition of Czech breastfeeding women and to compare the results to similar studies. Six breastfeeding women participated in this specific part of the longitudinal study, undergoing 4 examinations during a 9-month lactation period. Anthropometric methods were used to measure basic body parameters. Furthermore, body composition was assessed using dual bioimpedance analysis with a digital scale and spectroscopic bioimpedance analysis using the Body Composition Monitor device. According to Friedman's nonparametric paired test, statistically significant differences between the examined periods were found in BMI values (p = 0.029), BSA (p = 0.019), waist circumference (p = 0.048) and hip circumference (p = 0.031). These values fall below the significance level of 0.05. According to Spearman's correlation, breast milk production positively correlated with pre-pregnancy weight (p = 0.003, r = 0.817), pre-pregnancy BMI (p = 0.002, r = 0.847), pregnancy weight (p = 0.044, r = 0.624), bone mass measured by BIA (p = 0.020, r = 0.697), basal metabolism measured by BIA (p = 0.028, r = 0.670), FM mass measured by BIA (p = 0.034, r = 0.651), chest circumference (p = 0.003, r = 0.825), waist circumference (p = 0.025, r =...

Physiological and neurobiological correlates of personality traits
Kubelková, Klára ; Nekovářová, Tereza (advisor) ; Jonáš, Juraj (referee)
This paper seeks to provide an overview of the molecular, genetic, as well as structural and functional correlates of personality traits known to date, focusing primarily on typology according to the extensively used "NEO PI-R" ("Big Five") classification. It also attempts to discuss, at least briefly, the methodology for obtaining both neurobiological and psychological data and its validity. Finally, it aims to highlight the strengths and weaknesses of the neurobiological approach to personality, its potential benefits and pitfalls. It does not aim to establish the exact proportion of biological and sociological factors, but to elucidate the mechanisms involved in this biological conditioning. Although there is now a vast amount of research on the biological substrate of personality, there is considerable inconsistency among these studies, both in terms of methodology and the results provided. Moreover, only a small number of them attempt to explain their findings in terms of possible mechanisms of their effect and thus to integrate them into the broader picture of the brain-personality connection. These and many other limitations of neurobiological research on personality, which receive considerable attention in this thesis, are only a proof of the immense complexity of the human brain and human...
