Využití negativní termoterapie ve fyzioterapii poruch posturální stability u pacientů s diabetickou neuropatií
SVOBODA, Tomáš
Diabetic neuropathy is a chronic complication of both types of diabetes mellitus affecting the autonomic and peripheral nervous systems. Based on damaged nerve fibers, it bothers patients not only with subjective symptoms, but also affects the psyche and quality of life of a person. The goals of the work included a summary of physiotherapy methods used in the treatment of neuropathy, an evaluation of the effect of kinesiotherapy and cold-water immersion on postural stability and the creation of educational material for self-therapy. The thesis is written in the form of case reports of three patients who underwent examination focused on parameters associated with neuropathy and postural stability and intervention with the procedures before mentioned for a period of thirty days. The results of individual patients did not change significantly after completing the procedures. The muscle test (patients 1 and 3), sense of position and locomotion (patients 1 and 2), vibration sensation (patients 2 and 3), EPE, MVL (patient 1), RT (patient 3), FOAM-EC (patient 2 and 3) and Modified CTSIB (patient 1) improved, deterioration occurred in the muscle test (patient 2), sense of position (patient 3), Limits of stability (patients 1 and 3), RT, DCL (patient 1), MVL (patient 3).Due to the heterogeneity of the patients and the mutual use of kinesiotherapy and cold water immersion, it is difficult to compare the results of the patients with each other and to evaluate which modality had a greater influence on the results. Kinesiotherapy (balance exercises) has a positive effect on postural stability with the support of studies. In the case of cold exposure, this effect is not clear, even studies do not agree. Based on the results and studies, cold exposure can be used to reduce subjectively perceived symptoms.

Saturation of patient needs during acute admission to a surgical ward
JIRÁČKOVÁ, Anna
The diploma thesis deals with the issue of satisfying the needs of a patient acutely admitted to a surgical department. The research focused on feelings and perceptions in the area of satiration of the needs of acutely admitted patients, but also on the view of the nursing staff, who saturate the needs of acutely admitted patients. We investigated whether the patient is perceived as a holistic being, and what problems the nursing staff most often faces during the saturation of the needs of an acutely admitted patient. The theoretical part of the thesis describes the structure of the patient's admission to a hospital facility, and specifies human needs and factors that affect them. In the empirical part, the methodology and results of the research methods used are presented. For the empirical part of the thesis, quantitative and qualitative research was chosen. As part of the quantitative research, a questionnaire was compiled addressing nurses working in surgical outpatient departments or nurses who perform acute admission of patients in surgical wards. The information obtained through the questionnaire survey approximated the opinion of nurses on the saturation of the needs of acutely admitted patients and partly on the working conditions of nursing staff in the surgical department. Methods of semi-structured interview and covert observation were used for qualitative research. Interviews were conducted with acutely admitted patients who were hospitalized after unplanned treatment in the surgical department. Patients were informed about the use of the information obtained and had to give their consent to conduct the interviews. The results of quantitative research have shown that nurses prioritize satisfying the basic (biological) needs of patients, and higher (psychosocial) needs are provided as secondary. The thesis also points out that in many cases nurses act through established competencies. In the interview, the nursing staff mostly said that they would like to have more time for the patient. We also found that most nurses have at least one experience with providing for an urgently admitted patient in one person, and pain relief in an acute admission comes more often from nurses than from doctors. Although nurses cited more staff as the primary factor that would help them reduce stress levels while satisfying the patient's needs. When testing hypotheses, it turned out that the impossibility of satisfying the patient's needs is not related to the working conditions of the nursing staff. The qualitative results of the research answered that patients are unable to assess the validity of the nursing interventions performed during their acute admission. However, the quality of nursing care was most often deduced from the level of communication of the staff, information, reactions to expressed concerns, calm approach, etc. We have found that patients who have previous experience with hospitalization are affected by the experience and often bring negative fears about upcoming hospitalization. Covert observation supported the results obtained from the methods already mentioned. It shows that nurses primarily provided physiological needs in all outpatient departments and surgical wards. And only then did they saturate the psychosocial needs. Nurses satiated the needs of patients both according to the doctor's office and independently, acting as an autonomous part of a multidisciplinary medical team. The results of the diploma thesis could contribute to the improvement of care in the acute admission of the patient, and serve as a possible algorithm for the admission of the patient in the form of a brochure. The thesis can be processed as a teaching material within the framework of lifelong learning for medical staff working not only in emergency departments.

Reprodukční užitkovost v chovu prasnic
AIDELOMON, Emmanuel Onosimuan
The objective of this study was to analyse the level of reproductive efficiency of sows. Data of 1013 records of sows between 2019 to 2022 from a commercial herd were collected and analysed (Large White and cross between Large White and Landrace sows). Sows ranged from parity 1 to 7 with the number of parity grouped into 1-2 (1); 3-5 (2); 6-7 (3). Sows were raised in well-ventilated pens and were vaccinated according to the veterinarian's recommendations and sows were well-fed to meet their nutritional requirement. Water was available ad libitum via the drinking nipple system. All-born piglets and live-born piglets were analysed by monitoring the influence of parity, season at first conception, genotype, age at first farrowing, gestation length, farrowing interval, weaning-to-conception interval, year of conception and boar. Data were analysed using Statistika.12, TIBCO software package. Significant influence (P < 0.05) was observed between parity group 1 (parity 1-2) and parity group 2 (parity 3-5) for all-born piglets and live-born piglets with the highest value at parity group 2 (parity 3-5) and decreasing thereafter. Prolificacy (all-born piglets and live-born piglets) appeared highest in animals during the summer months and the lowest in autumn (statistically unconfirmed differences). Crossing sows between Large White and Landrace produced the highest number of all-born piglets, and sow Large White produced the highest number of live-born piglets. Crossing sows between Landrace and Large White produced a statistically lower number of piglets. Prolificacy at 361-381 days (age of first farrowing) was significantly different from < 361 days. There was reduction in number of all-born piglets and live-born piglets for above > 381 days when compared to 361-381 but it was not different statistically. Higher value was recorded for gestation length of 114 days compared to 115 days in all-born piglets and live-born piglets (but no significant influence). The mean of all-born piglets and live-born piglets shows that the larger the litter is, the shorter the gestation length becomes. Farrowing interval for 146 days had a high mean value for both all-born piglets and live-born piglets compared to 147 days but no significant influence. Weaning to conception interval for 4 days is significantly different from 5 days in all-live born piglets. The highest average for all-born piglets and live-born piglets was recorded in 2022 and the lowest was recorded in 2019. Result for 2022 was significantly different from 2019 and 2020 results. In conclusion, this study showed that sow parity, genotype, age at first farrowing, weaning to conception interval and boar can be used as indicators of reproductive performance. Furthermore, this study has provided the basis for future development of a benchmarking tool to monitor and improve productivity in sow herds.

Voluntary instruments for environmental protection Abstract This diploma thesis focuses on voluntary instruments for environmental protection. The main aim is to provide a comprehensive overview of the most significant voluntary instruments, characterize them, demonstrate their practical applications, and analyse their legal regulation at the national, European, or international level. To adequately introduce the topic, the first part of this thesis is dedicated to environmental protection instruments in general. The second part delves into a group of voluntary instruments, providing a detailed description and historical context of their emergence within environmental policy. Subsequent sections of this thesis focus on selected voluntary instruments, categorized according to their assessed legal and practical relevance, for closer examination. The third part initially addresses voluntary environmental agreements (also known as agreements on protective conditions), which represent a relatively well-known legal concept in the national context and are regulated to varying extents by Law No. 114/1992 Coll., on Nature and Landscape Protection, as amended. The fourth part subsequently analyses two formalized environmental management systems, specifically EMS implemented according to the international standard ISO...

Processing of aerogel coatings on bulk materials substrates
Torres Rodríguez, Jorge Alberto ; Torre, Sebastián Díaz de la (referee) ; Pinkas, Jiří (referee) ; Kaiser, Jozef (advisor)
Tato práce se zabývá systematickou studií syntézy a zpracováním pokročilých tepelně stabilních aerogelů pro potenciální vysokoteplotní aplikace. V první části dizertační práce jsou podrobně popsány syntetické implikace pro přípravu aerogelů a jejich aplikace spolu s popisem depozičních metod povlaků vytvořených pomocí sol-gel procesu. Experimentální postup je rozdělen do tří částí. První z nich představuje syntetické protokoly k přípravě ZrO2, YSZ, Ln2Zr2O7 (Ln = La3+, Nd3+, Gd3+, and Dy3+) aerogelů, Ln2Zr2O7 prášků a xerogelů. Dále je popsána depoziční metoda, která byla použita pro přípravu povlaků z aerogelů na kovových substrátech. Poté jsou následně specifikovány techniky, jež byly použity pro charakterizaci. Bylo zjištěno, že množství vody a kyseliny dusičné hraje rozhodující roli v přípravě gelů vhodných pro transformaci na aerogely. Po kalcinaci při 500 °C mají ZrO2 a YSZ aerogely velký povrch, a to až do 114 m2 g-1, avšak při 1000 °C dochází k úplnému zhuštění a ztrácí se tak veškerá jejich porézní struktura. Naopak ve srovnání s ZrO2 and YSZ jsou aerogely Ln2Zr2O7 tepelně stabilnější, protože si zachovávají svou porozitu při vyšší kalcinační teplotě (1000 °C), při které dosahují hodnot > 160 m2 g-1. Experimentálně bylo dále zjištěno, že ve studovaném teplotním rozsahu ZrO2 aerogel tvoří tetragonální komplex monoklinický fázový přechod řízený velikostí krystalitů, zatímco YSZ je tvořena jedinou tetragonální fází. Fázové složení zirkoničitanů vzácných zemin je vysoce závislé na způsobu syntézy; všechny Ln2Zr2O7 materiály jsou pyrochlorické nebo fluoritové krystalické fáze. Přímým odléváním aerogelu na kovový substrát dochází k úplnému rozpraskání povlaku z důvodu smršťování, zatímco máčením kovového substrátu v suspenzi je možné vyrobit homogenní, silné a hrubé povlaky z aerogelu. Tyto povlaky neobsahují fázové změny a zůstávají vysoce porézní i po různých tepelných úpravách.

Detekce variability rDNA u rostlin
Menšíková, Simona
The ITS1-5,8S-ITS2 sequence region of ribosomal DNA represents one of the most popular molecular marker in phylogenetics. However, detailed analyses of 5,8S rDNA are scarce and most of them deal with the complete region including the internal transcribed spacers ITS. In this thesis, 5,8S rDNA sequences were subjected to bioinformatic analysis to compare the variability of ribosomal genes in monocot and eudicot plants. The analyzed sequence data of the regions ITS1-5,8S rDNA-ITS2 were obtained by an experimental approach from isolated DNA and by searching in nucleic acid databases. The variability was assessed in total 114 sequences for each group. Multiple sequence alignments were used to identify conserved regions and to quantify gene mutations. Higher heterogeneity was detected in the 5,8S rDNA sequences of the eudicot group, but no statistically significant difference in the representation of variable sites (15,2 % and 19,3 %) or in the total number of mutations was confirmed. Manual pseudogene detection, based on plant conserved 5,8S rDNA motifs search, sequence length, content of GC and in silico secondary structure prediction, revealed a total of 12 potentially non-functional copies of the 5,8S rDNA gene.

Fluorescenční sondy pro detekci sacharidů a glykovaných proteinů pomocí kapilární elektroforézy
Kozáková, Silvie
Glycated albumin (gHSA) and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) represent important biomarkers assessing the progression of diabetes mellitus disease. The aim of this thesis was to develop and optimize a method for the simultaneous determination of these glycated proteins from human blood by capillary electrophoresis using the fluorescent probe ABAM (anthracene boronic acid methacrylate). Thanks to this new method, it was possible to selectively determine these two proteins with a resolution of 5.70 and the LOD of 11.9 µg/ml for gHSA and 26.5 µg/ml for HbA1c. Subsequently, the optimized method was successfully applied to a real human blood sample. The simultaneous determination of these biomarkers can help to better monitor dynamic changes during diabetes and enable its monitoring in cases, where HbA1c assessment is inappropriate for medical reasons (anemia, etc.).

Hodnocení kvality mleziva dojnic českého strakatého skotu v ekologickém a konvenčním chovu
Buďová, Tereza
The theoretical part aims to provide information about the mammary gland, colostrum, its composition and quality control, types of milk, milking technologies, parlours, and generally about the importance of cattle breading focusing on Czech spotted cattle breed. The main goal of the practical part was to evaluate and compare the quality of colostrum in eco-breeding and conventional breeding. A total of 266 dairy cows of the Czech spotted cattle were included in the evaluation. Dairy cows were divided into individual lactations in order to evaluate the quality of the colostrum in % Brix, the sex of the born calf and amount of milk in liters per first milking. The obtained results were processed and collected into charts. Our results show that the colostrum quality is better in the eco-breeding in Dalečín than in conventional breeding in Věstín. In Dalečín, 114 dairy cows were evaluated. They reached average Brix values of 20.97 % in the first lactation, 20.42 % in the second, 21 % in the third, 25.15 % in the fourth, 23 % in the fifth and 22.17 % Brix in the last lactation. In total, 57 heifers, 53 bulls and 9 stillborn calves were born there. The average milk yield for individual lactation was 2 liters for the first, 4.1 liters for the second, 4 liters for the third, 4.1 liters for the fourth, 6.2 liters for the fifth and 4.9 liters for the mixed lactation. According to these values, we can state that in the eco-breeding in Dalečín the fourth lactation is the best since it reached 25.15 % Brix. In Věstín, 152 dairy cows were evaluated. In total, 79 heifers, 73 bulls and 8 stillborn calves were born. The average milk yield was 20.22 % for the first lactation, 19.95 % for the second, 21.17 % for the third, 20.63% for the fourth, 21.24 % for the fifth and 21.08 % Brix for the mixed lactation. The average milk yield for individual lactation was 2.47 liters for the first, 4.58 liters for the second, 4.17 liters for the third, 6.6 liters for the fourth, 5.38 liters for the fifth and 5.42 for the mixed lactation. We can state the fifth lactation as the best since it reached 21.24 % Brix.
