Differences and similarities of sound-colour synaesthesia (chromaesthesia) and other related perceptual phenomena
Kysilková, Lenka ; Šebesta, Pavel (advisor) ; Chromý, Jan (referee)
Synaesthesia is a perceptual phenomenon found in a small percentage of the population. Stimulation of one perceptual modality triggers a second sensation in other non-stimulated modality. For example hearing sound would induce concurrent percept of colour. This thesis is focused around phenomenological evidence and possible mechanisms underlying synaesthesia. Resemblance of synaesthesia to other similar perceptual phenomena like crossmodal correspondences makes it difficult to define by researchers. I investigate differences and similarities to crossmodal correspondences and also critically review the methodology of experimental studies. Keywords Synaesthesia, crossmodal correspondences, perception

Effect of Breastfeeding Morphology on Breastfeeding Initiation
Kysilková, Lenka ; Havlíček, Jan (advisor) ; Konečná, Martina (referee)
Lactogenesis II is critical stage of lactation and it is hindered by conditions like caesarean section, premature delivery, obesity, age, and parity. Previous studies have shown a connection between morphological characteristics of breast and nipple-areola complex and lactation onset. Higher number of areolar glands and their non-uniform distribution has been linked to earlier onset of lactation. Extremely large breasts and short nipples has been linked to breastfeeding difficulty. Aim of this study was to investigate relationship between morphological characteristics of breast and nipple-areola complex (number and distribution of areolar glands, nipple, areola, and breast area, protrusion of nipple and areola, and contrast of breast and areola) and lactation onset. For this purpose, we collected breasts and areolae photographs of 141 mothers one day postpartum in maternity ward in Prague and compared the morphological traits to lactogenesis II onset. We have found a non-uniform distribution of areolar glands with the highest abundance on upper lateral quadrant of areola. We found that right breast area tends to be bigger than left, and left nipple and areola tends to be longer than right. Parity had significant effect on lactation onset. No morphological characteristics have been linked to...

Graphomotorical readiness of children entering elementary school from the perspective of kindergarten and primary school teachers
KYSILKOVÁ, Lenka
The bachelor work focuses on the graphomotoric readiness of children upon their admission to an elementary school. Its first part covers a theoretical knowledge on child development from the motoric, graphic, and graphomotoric aspect. Then it describes initial writing as well as current curricula for pre-school and elementary education in writing. The second practical part is devoted to educational research on perception of readiness of preschool children in terms of the development of their graphomotoric skills. The issue is examined foremostly by questionnaire method involving teachers of kindergartens and first classes of elementary schools. Other research methods as well as the analysis of data and their assessment are described.

ACTS OF AGGRESSIVENESS AND BULLYING AT THE SECOND LEVEL OF PRIMARY SCHOOLS
KYSILKOVÁ, Lenka
My diploma thesis deals with the manifestations of aggressiveness and bullying on the second grade of basic schools. In the section dealing with theory I define the concept of bullying and aggressiveness and further I focus on participants, causes, consequences, prevention, diagnosis and process of diagnosis and investigation of bullying. In the section dealing with practice I have defined three aims: To map and depict the manifestations of bullying on the second grade of given basic schools; to find whether the data gathered have any relation to a total number of pupils at school and to find what attitude towards the issue of bullying and aggressiveness among children is held by basic-school teachers themselves. To gather the data for the first and second aim I have used a form which had been handed out in three basic schools with a various number of pupils. To meet the third aim I have questioned twenty teachers of given basic schools. All three aims of my thesis have been fulfilled. My research shows that up to 35 percent of children have experienced a certain form of aggressiveness and bullying while the occurrence thereof does not depend on a total number of pupils. Moreover my research has shown that teachers are not expertly prepared to deal with the issue.
