The theoretical part captures a medical, psychological and nursing view of a patient after a lower leg amputation. Furthermore, the theoretical part focuses on rehabilitation after amputation, the types of compensatory devices and the barriers patients may face after amputation. The last part deals with a quality of life of the patients. The empirical part is based on the results of a quantitative semi-standardized questionnaire. The aim of this work was to determine the quality of life in patients after lower limb amputation. I was interested in how the patients coped with the amputation and whether the amputation had changed their social and personal lives. The patients, who had lived with a severed limb for a longer time have already come in terms with the amputation and are living a normal full-fledged life as per the research....

Design of low-pressure magnetorheological damper
Mareš, Jan ; Žáček, Jiří (referee) ; Kubík, Michal (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the problem of the limited lifetime of sealing elements inside high-pressure magnetorheological dampers. The lifetime could be extended by the low-pressure damper design, which is also the aim of this thesis. The proposed design achieves low-pressure operation thanks to the MR foot valve inserted between the damping piston and floating piston of the air chamber. This foot valve also contains a blow-off check valve. For simplicity and to reduce the upfront costs of the testing prototype, the damper was designed by modifying an existing single-tube high-pressure MR damper available at FSI VUT. The contribution of this thesis is the experimental evaluation of check valve function in MR fluid. Valve exhibits asymmetrical behaviour and closes rapidly. The main outcome is the design of a low-pressure single-tube MR damper. It is expected that operation at lower pressures will extend the lifetime of sealing elements which may lead to broader implementation of MR dampers.

Synchronization of circadian clock in rat during ontogenesis and in adulthood
Olejníková, Lucie ; Sumová, Alena (advisor) ; Šlamberová, Romana (referee) ; Mareš, Jan (referee)
The circadian system temporally controls behavioral and physiological processes in most organisms so that they change during the day and night with a period of about 24 h. It is an evolutionary adaptation to anticipate periodic changes in environment on the Earth. In mammals, the circadian system consists of the central pacemaker in the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) of hypothalamus and of oscillators located in numerous peripheral organs and tissues. At the molecular level, the circadian clock is based on the rhythmic expression of so called clock genes. The ontogenetic development of the circadian system is a gradual process and the most important changes undergo during the late embryonic and early postnatal stage. Many behavioral, hormonal and metabolic signals provided by the mother are considered to be involved in circadian clock synchronization during early ontogenesis. The mechanisms of the entrainment are not fully known yet. The aim of this thesis was to study the development of the circadian clock and its entrainment via maternal signals and to compare the development of circadian rhythms in two model rat strains - Wistar rat and spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR). Firstly, we described the ontogenetic maturation of the Wistar rat circadian clock in the colon from the fetal stage until...

Determination of the vaporization plane depth in sandstones and other porous materials: uranine-coated needles
Mareš, Jakub ; Weiss, Tomáš (advisor) ; Válek, Jan (referee)
Abstact The vaporization plane in porous materials separates the capillary zone, the area where water moves in liquid state, from the dry surface layer where water moves in the form of vapor. The depth of the vaporization plane and its geometry is essential for a large number of physical, chemical and biological processes in porous materials that can, for example, cause material degradation and decay. Mostly, the vaporization plane is not measured directly, but water content or suction pressure measurements are used instead, which are, however, not suitable for the plane's detection. Therefore, there was a need for a method that would be able to determine the depth of the vaporization plane in holes of small diameter (<1 cm). To fulfill this aim, I used a needle onto which I applied glue and uranine. Upon insertion, uranine on the needle dissolves in the capillary zone and changes its color from red to green, while remaining red in the dry zone. The boundary between the red and green parts thus accurately displays the vaporization plane. With this newly developed method, I subsequently measured the depth of the vaporization plane on natural outcrops as well as on buildings, where I tried to describe the vaporization plane's behavior.

Luminescence spectroscopy of impurities in fast oxide scintillators
Kučerková, Romana ; Kučera, Miroslav (advisor) ; Mareš, Jiří A. (referee)
In the present work we studied the dependence on concentration gallium ion in single crystal LGAG: Pr a LuAG: Pr, prepared by ,,micro-pulling down,, method (-PD) at Tohoku University in Sendai, Japan. -PD method allows growing a single crystal using small amount of row material, typically less than 1 g, in time period of one day because of very high growth speed up to 20mm/min. Scintillation materials are necessary for a number of applications (e.g. medicine), in which high spatial resolution is required. The aim of this work was to measure luminescence and scintillation characteristics of the Pr3+ doped -PD grown Lu3Al5O12 single crystal host. The absorption, photo- and radioluminescence spectra and both photoluminescence and scintillation decay curves were measured. The photoluminescence decay curves was single-exponetial characterized by a lifetime around 17ns. Slow components were present in the scintillation decay curves. This is a consequence of retrapping of the charge carriers on electron traps connected with the anti-site defects, which are generally present in Czochralski od -PD grown aluminium garnets. On the other hand, they are completely supressed in the liquid-phase-epitaxy grown single crystalline films due to lower growth temperature. Excitation spectra of the 5d-4f luminescence completely...

Human resources management in an intercultural world
Mareš, Jakub ; Tureckiová, Michaela (advisor) ; Sycha, Martin (referee)
The main objective of this diploma work is to enquire and describe the effect of culture and cultural background on human beings, particularly in the working life. The crux of this work is to analyze the themes which are closely connected to intercultural communication, dimensions of culture and international human resources management. As a whole these components show the necessity of recognition of the differences among people who stem from diverse cultures. Recognition of the diversity is the basic assumption for subsequent adoption of necessary knowledge and skills, which should lead to better mutual understanding and also to more efficient work. The diploma work results in many definitions and proves of a number of statements, which are closely connected to the issues mentioned.

The motor and cognitive consequences of inborn cerebellar degeneration and some possibilities how to influence it
Křížková, Alena ; Vožeh, František (advisor) ; Pokorný, Jaroslav (referee) ; Mareš, Jan (referee)
The motor and cognitive consequences of inborn cerebellar degeneration and some possibilities how to influence it The cerebellum is traditionally considered to be a coordinator of movements and equilibrium and a regulator of muscular tone. Participation of the cerebellum on the motor learning has been discovered later. Besides that, there is increasing experimental and clinical evidence supporting the idea of an important role of the cerebellum in common cognitive functions. Increasing number of experimental works - especially those on animals - demonstrate an effect of the the cerebellum on the memory and different types of learning. A suitable model to study the cerebellar degeneration are Lurcher mutant mice. During their lives, there is a progressive loss of Purkinje cells followed by a loss of granular cells and inferior oliva neurons. We concentrated on the following problems in this work: - development of motor learning and topical motor skills during the first month of life - positive and negative changes in NO synthesis and subsequent effect on discriminative learning - effect of administration of MK-801(non-competitive antagonist of NMDA receptors) on discriminative learning of Lurcher mutants and wild mice derived from two strains (C3H and C57B1/7). Lurcher mutants and wild mice were put in motor...

Entrainment of the circadian system in rodents
Sosniyenko, Serhiy ; Sumová, Alena (advisor) ; Mareš, Jan (referee) ; Šauman, Ivo (referee)
The circadian clock located within the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) of the hypothalamus responds to changes in the duration of day length, i.e. photoperiod, differently in the separate SCN parts. The aim of the study was i) to compare the effect of a long and a short photoperiod with twilight relative to that with rectangular light-to-dark transition on the daily profiles of clock gene expression and their protein levels within the rostral, middle and caudal regions of the mouse SCN; ii) to elucidate the dynamics of adjustment to a change of a long photoperiod to a short photoperiod of clock gene expression rhythms in the mouse SCN and in the peripheral clock in the liver, as well as of the locomotor activity rhythm; iii) to elucidate whether and how swiftly the immature rat fetal and neonatal molecular SCN clocks can be reset by maternal cues and iv) to reveal when and where within the rat SCN the photic sensitivity of clock gene expression develops during the early postnatal ontogenesis and to compare it with development of cfos photoinduction. Mice and rats were used for experiments; their tissues were analyzed by in situ hynridization, immunohistochemistry, RT-PCR. The data indicated that i) the twilight photoperiod provides stronger synchronization among the individual SCN cell subpopulations than the...
