Monitoring of sulfonamides in wastewater from sewage treatment plants with different treatment technologies
Chaloupková, Petra ; Dvořáková, Petra (referee) ; Vávrová, Milada (advisor)
The aim of this thesis is to determine the presence of pharmaceuticals in wastewater from several wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) with different number of equivalent persons and different treatment technologies. Five sulfonamides were chosen for a determination due to their wide usage in human and veterinary medicine practice. The specific compounds are sulfamerazine, sulfamethazine, sulfapyridine, sulfathiazole a sulfamethoxazole. For the determination of those sulfonamides, an UHPLC/DAD analytical method was chosen and optimized. There was also a need for optimization of SPE extraction method, especially a sample volume optimization. 250 mL was chosen as an ideal volume of wastewater sample for SPE. The optimized method was used for determination of sulfonamides in real wastewater samples from WWTP in Podivín, Pohořelice, Hustopeče, Valtice, Lednice and Mikulov. Average concentrations of pharmaceuticals in influent and effluent wastewater samples were in a range of 0,1 – 1 µg/l. The concentration of sulfonamides was mostly found higher in influent samples and lower in effluent samples. It can be said that a partial recovery of sulfonamides on WWTPs was observed.

Sulfonamide residues in sediment and sludge from wastewater treatment plants
Chaloupková, Petra ; Lacina, Petr (referee) ; Vávrová, Milada (advisor)
The aim of the bachelor’s thesis was a method optimalization for extraction of sulfonamides from sediment and sewage sludge samples from wastewater treatment plants. This optimized method was used for analyzing sulfonamides in real soil and sewage sludge samples. Antibiotics are commonly used as a prevention and medicament for human and animals. Drugs and their residues enter to wastewater treatment plants within excrements and then they can be a part of sewage sludge or they can occur in treated water. It can also enter environment as a part of soils or sediments. Three extraction methods were chosen for optimizing; a pressurized solvent extraction, a microwave-assisted extraction and an ultrasonic extraction. Extracts were cleaned by solid phase extraction and analysed by liquid chromatography with diode array detector.

The Phenomenon of Cross-dressing in Czech Cinema
Chaloupková, Petra ; Svatoňová, Kateřina (advisor) ; Czesany Dvořáková, Tereza (referee)
This thesis aims to address the forms of crossdressing appearing in Czech post- revolutionary cinema, and moreover, to approach images of the abovementioned cultural practice as a potential space for a subversion of the cisheteronormative system. At the same time, such portrayal of crossdressing can be percieved as an opportunity to strengthen existing gender norms. With the help of film analyses led by the thoughts coming from the gender studies, and with the usage of queer methodological tools, the text deals with the mechanisms of preventing the invasion of queerness, of regulating subversive activities, as well as of functional strategies for resisting the normative order. Lastly, it offers a typological breakdown of seven chosen feature films that are integrating the crossdressing element, and it evaluates them according to their openness to queer reading and the amount of freedom, which is granted to their gender-nonconforming characters. KEY WORDS Crossdressing, gender identity, transgender, queer, transition, disguise, femininity, masculinity

The administrative development and life in the state asylum in Prague
Chaloupková, Petra ; Ebelová, Ivana (advisor) ; Hlaváčková, Ludmila (referee)
This work traces a 95-year period of working of the Municipal Establishment for Deranged People (Zemský ústav pro choromyslné) in Prague. More exactly, it deals with the period from its foundation in 1791 until the origination of its successor institutions - the Czech and German Psychiatric Clinics in the year 1866. The first part of the work describes the foundation of the establishment, beginnings of its operation, its successive disaffiliation from the General Hospital (Všeobecná nemocnice), of which it was initially a part, its rapid building development, and the establishment's day-to-day life. In the year 1846, the establishment became a stand-alone medical institution, entirely independent of the hospital's management. It was a state charitable institution and, as such, it was financed by the state. It obtained additional funds for its operation from the fees for the provided care and other activities. The Chapter Two, which maps the years 1846-1864, addresses not only these financial matters, but also the establishment's separate administration and its other building and qualitative developments. The last Chapter is devoted to the period of the years 1864-1886 when the establishment was completely assigned to the administration of the Municipal Committee. It chronicles, in addition to administrative...

Role and motivation of volunteers in development projects: A case study of Czech volunteers
Pantůčková, Monika ; Chaloupková, Petra (advisor) ; Tereza, Tereza (referee)
Motivation is a key factor influencing an individual to become a volunteer. This study examines the motivation Czech volunteers to work on development projects, based on data obtained from the survey and scientific articles. The survey was conducted on 80 Czech volunteers from various Czech NGOs, 40 out of 80 were volunteers working for Kintari organization in Indonesia. The main motivation for volunteering were divided into five sections according to orientation; altruism, culture, philanthropy, traveling and socializing. Differences were identified among respondents when Kintari volunteers chose culture and travel, which is closely related to their length of stay, while volunteers from other Czech NGOs selected altruism and philanthropy. Subsequently, based on the test of factor analysis (FA) was created a domains consisting of the items questionnaire. In the statistical measurements and indicators were using factor analysis which was deemed appropriate, and Cronbach's alpha coefficient, which verified the estimate of the level of internal consistency and Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin measurement to determine the suitability of the selected data. The calculation used t-test for socio-demographic attributes excluded the thesis that females are more altruistically motivated than males. Respondents confirmed altruistic and egoistic gain experience from volunteering, including the development of communication skills, stress management, development of empathic skills, understanding of the local community, opportunities to participate in social events, work in a multicultural team and the ability to be part of social groups. Kintari volunteers cause on the project preferentially associate with opportunities to experience the culture and travel, while other volunteers from the Czech NGOs travelled mainly due to work and own education, which is closely related to the fact that they had more previous experience from other projects. The general rule confirmed that a shorter stay affects more altruism, socialization and desire to travel. As an area of weakness, Kintari volunteers market communication and cooperation with the management organization (missing feedback), and insufficient provision of educational aids.
