Definition of principal material directions in the abdominal aortic aneurysms
Bartoňová, Petra ; Slažanský, Martin (referee) ; Polzer, Stanislav (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with definitions of principal material directions in idealized geometrical models. The theoretical part is particularly focused on general information of vascular system and abdominal aortic aneurysms in the field of anatomy, histology and surgery, afterwards it is concentrated on the biomechanical point of view. Consequently, the created algorithm is described and used to compare different definitions of principal directions considering the maximum principal stress. In conclusion, the results of FEM analyses are evaluated with respect to further study of this issue.

Analysis of impact of mechanical properties of components of pathological arterial wall on its state of stress
Bartoňová, Petra ; Konvalinka, Jan (referee) ; Burša, Jiří (advisor)
The thesis deals with measurements of the atherosclerothic carotid plaques mechanical properties with wiew towards the improvements of their constitutive models and then towards the impact of application of those constitutive models in fibrous cap. The introductory part provides a brief summary of medical knowledge needed to understand atheroma formation and the risks involved. Next, there's a survey of plaque mechanical testing methods and the obtained results on tissue properties. The previously used constitutive models of atherosclerothic tissues are listed as well. Main body of the thesis describes the preparation of testing samples from obtained atheroma, methodology and course of experiments execution and subsequent processing of the experimental data to evaluate the behavior of the atheromatous tissue individual parts. Then the discussion and evaluation of our results and findings is given. Along with the evaluated mechanical properties, experimental data fitted to models are presented with respect to their predictive abilities. The final part is dedvoted to the finite element analysis of an idealized 2D model with emphasis on the effect of necrotic core and fibrous tissue properties on von Mises equivalent stress in the fibrous cap.

The prevalence of driving under the influence of alcohol among the clients from department 19 for the treatment of addictive disorders in Psychiatric Hospital Brno in the period September-December 2016
Bartoňová, Petra ; Popov, Petr (advisor) ; Randák, Dušan (referee)
Bachelor thesis describes the prevalence of driving under the influence of alcohol in case of clients of unit 19 for addictive illnesses treatment in Psychiatric hospital Brno, in the period of September - December 2016. Based on availability, all the clients who were diagnosed with alcohol addiction, and who concurrently started with medium-term residual treatment, were chosen. The research sample consisted of 94 respondents - 62 men and 32 women. Driving under the influence of alcohol has been current and serious problem in Czech Republic. The goal of my thesis is to determine the basic characteristics of the clients who drive under the influence of alcohol. We used the structured questionnaire for the data collection. The questions were suggested according to research questions to verify hypothesis using the questionnaire data. Collected data were analyzed and after that evaluated using descriptive statistical method. The investigation has shown that men drive more frequently under the influence of alcohol compared to women; also younger drivers drive under the alcohol influence more often. It has not been shown that drivers without driving license drive more often under the alcohol influence. The research results provide data on drivers driving under the alcohol influence and represent only the...
