Judgement of personality based on recordings of dance and gait (obtained using Motion Capture)
Vávra, Jan ; Lindová, Jitka (advisor) ; Krejčová, Lucie (referee)
Judgement of personality based on recordings of dance and gait (obtained using Motion Capture) This study raises the question if it is possible to assess personality traits based on body movement while dancing and walking if we isolate movement from other non-verbal cues. The theoretical part of the study lists theoretical concepts associated with this question and summarizes previous research on the subject. The main part of this study is empirical research: the movement of 21 women was filmed using Motion Capture technology which captures human movement by recording the coordinates of key segments of the body. A virtual female character was used to re-create the movement of the research participants. The resulting footage was then presented to 187 raters, who scored segments of it on two sets of personality scales. The comparison of the raters' scores and self-assesed personality of the participant is subject to the analytical part of this study. The results showed several correlations between assesments of personality traits and self-assesed personality traits, but those were never the same traits (i. e. extraversion was never recognized as extraversion, but possibly manifested itself thorugh ratings of other traits). We also found several more general factors on which the raters' assessments of...

Standardization of sexual-erotic stimuli for measurement of female sexual arousal
Krejčová, Lucie ; Klapilová, Kateřina (advisor) ; Pastor, Zlatko (referee)
The measurement of female sexual arousal within the primary research as well as in clinical practice suffers from several difficulties. In particular, the discrepancy between subjectively perceived sexual excitement and physiological arousal (e.g. change in vaginal pulse amplitude or in vaginal temperature) was found. Moreover, the enormous variability in subjective preferences of women for male stimuli appearance together with their low sexual reactivity to static visual erotic stimuli contribute to the fact that standardized set of erotic stimuli for women is recently not available. In our study, subjective and physiological arousal of women when exposed to 2 sets of sexual-erotic stimuli of different nature (directed erotic imagination and reading erotic texts) were measured (using plethysmography GETA). Sample of 20 women (in reproductive age without sexual issues) were used for purpose of standardization of developed stimuli set, including the evaluation of their suitability for sexual arousal assessment. The results show directed erotic imagination and erotic texts are suitable for measurement of sexual response. The effectiveness is demonstrated especially in detection of attitudes to sexuality and sexual activities.

Influence of birth order and sex of siblings on sexual behavior and preferences
Daňková, Hana ; Kuba, Radim (advisor) ; Krejčová, Lucie (referee)
Ontogeny of a human being is influenced by several innate and environmental factors. One of the key environmental factors is family, its structure, and the dynamics of family relationships. These can depend, among other things, on the birth order. Relatively a lot of research has been conducted to study the effect of birth order on humans, but the area of human sexuality is often neglected. Research in this area has so far yielded relatively inconsistent results and needs to be expanded further with new knowledge. That is the main goal of this diploma thesis. In our cross-sectional study, 4495 subjects from two-child families were analyzed. We performed a partial correlation analysis of birth order and selected variables related to human sexuality, considering the sex of siblings. Particular attention was paid to the first sexual experience, the number of sexual partners, sociosexual orientation (SOI-R), and dominant-submissive sexual preferences. We found that the order of birth is related to several of these variables (age of first sexual experience, number of sexual partners, sexual preferences), but the key role is played by the combination of the individual's gender and the sex of his sibling. These results should be followed up by more detailed research within specific families to verify the...

Nutrition in noncommunicable diseases prevention
Krejčová, Lucie ; Starnovská, Tamara (advisor) ; Kudlová, Eva (referee)
The bachelor's thesis deals with the possibility of prevention of diseases of civilization from the point of view of nutrition; mainly the relationship between the quality of food consumed and these diseases. The theoretical part briefly describes selected diseases and risk factors involved in their origin, prevention, nutrition as one of the main determinants of health, ultra processed foods and their impact on health. The practical part works with several hypotheses that relate to interest and knowledge about the composition of food and possible risks associated with their consumption. It also summarizes the findings of the questionnaire survey, which, according to the hypotheses, was focused on knowledge of nutritional recommendations, awareness of diseases of civilization and consumer preferences in the purchase and consumption of food. Key words: prevention, nutrition, ultra processed food, quality of food, noncommunicable diseases

Security Aspects of the Maritime Silk Road
Krejčová, Lucie ; Karmazin, Aleš (advisor) ; Romancov, Michael (referee)
The Silk road project has been announced in 2013 by Chinese president Xi Jinping as a reaction to economic crisis and following efforts to find new business partners and opportunities. Initiative restores the idea of the ancient Silk road and has two parts, maritime and overland. This bachelor thesis focuses on the New Silk Road and specifically its Maritime Silk Road Initiative of the 21st century, and area of the Indian ocean. At the beginning of this thesis I dedicate short chapter to the policies of the main actors in the Indian ocean to the initiative Belt and Road. For the purposes of my work I have chosen four port facilities. It is a port of Gwadar in the southwest of Pakistan, Hambantota port in the south region of Sri Lanka, Kyaukpyu port in the northwest of Myanmar and the Chinese naval base in Djibouti. I use two theoretical concepts in my thesis. The first concept is the geopolitical theory of Mahan, Mackinder and Spykman. As the second concept I have used the theoretical framework for the security by Barry Buzan, Ole Wæver and Jaap de Wilde, the representatives of the Copenhagen school. I have adjusted their sectoral division for the purposes of my research. Each of the cases was analysed based on four categories: Military sector, Political sector, Economic sector and Environmental...
