Trends of distribution of tick-borne encephatlits in period 2000 - 2010 in district Pardubice
Macounová, Dana ; Dáňová, Jana (advisor) ; Čelko, Alexander (referee)
- Summary The bachelor thesis deals with the tick-borne encephalitis transmitted to humans by a tick and its distribution in the Czech Republic and the Pardubice region in the period 2000 - 2010. The work is divided into two parts. First - the theoretical part of thesis summarizes the general knowledge on tick-borne encephalitis, its characteristics, occurrence, history, prevention, diagnosis as well as treatment of various forms of disability according to the development of disease. At the same time there is also described the tick as the vector of the disease, its development cycle and method of attachment to humans as the host. For the purposes of prevention of tick-borne encephalitis, this section also describes the conditions of increased tick activity, there are given recommendations of prevention and protection, and the correct procedure for removing the parasite. The second - the practical part of the thesis includes the analysis and interpretation of epidemiological data on tick-borne encephalitis in the years 2000 - 2010 obtained from the system EPIDAT (countrywide information and monitoring system of infectious diseases). The obtained data were evaluated, focusing on the comparison of incidence of tick-borne encephalitis in the Czech Republic and in the Pardubice region and its...

Modification of protective lime coating systems for the porous limestone using lime nanomaterials: assessment of mechanical properties and ageing resistance
Navrátilová, Michaela ; Bayer, K. ; Ghaffari, E. ; Macounová, Dana ; Slížková, Zuzana ; Weber, J.
Within the area of care for sculptural and architectonic monuments of limestone in Austria there has been a historic continuity of use of protective lime coatings. In the regions of Upper and Lower Austria, Vienna and Burgenland mainly Leitha limestone (named after the Leitha Mountains) are dealt with. In Czech lands such approach was disrupted from 19th century by application of the “purist” idea of bare surface of stone. Nevertheless, this treatment of stone surface has been coming back into use for many various reasons in the past few decades. Requirements for preservation of pieces of art and handcraft made of limestone using lime coatings are most often applied in the regions of Vyso!ina, South Moravia and South Bohemia, which directly border on the Northern States of Austria. Owing to the resource locations of Leitha limestone in these regions, there is a higher representation of cultural heritage monuments made of this type of stone in the Czech Republic.

Consolidation testing of porous limestone using lime nanomaterials: optimization, assessment of stone mechanical and structural characteristics
Macounová, Dana ; Bayer, K. ; Ghaffari, E. ; Navrátilová, Michaela ; Slížková, Zuzana ; Weber, J.
In consequence of an array of degradation mechanisms there is a change of stone characteristics used in historic objects. One of the negative changes is deterioration of mechanical properties, which may often lead to losses of original substance and gradual disintegration of works of art or handcraft made of stone. To prolong the lifespan of such damaged cultural-heritage objects a process called consolidation is often carried out within the framework of conservation treatment. During the process of conservation treatment the damaged stone is impregnated with a consolidating material, which is to provide the stone with a new binder capable of renewing its cohesion to a certain extent. Currently, a wide range of organic and inorganic consolidating agents of various characteristics is available, from synthetic polymers to silicic acid esters. Long-term experience shows that not only is the consolidating effect of the actual agent important, but also its lifespan and impact on the subsequent aging of the treated stone. Thus, in the past few years more emphasis has been laid on the compatibility or – to express it more precisely – the material similarity of the agents used in the process of conservation and restoration of works of art or handcraft.
