Design of flowrate control of solar system
Popov, Petr ; Grepl, Robert (referee) ; Vlach, Radek (advisor)
Problems of heating of supply water by solar energy are described in this paper. In term of these works was designed and realized attenuate prototype of solar system. There was realized measurements of the temperatures on this prototype and on the basis of these measurements was identified system parameters. Creation of compute simulation of solar system was the further step of this paper. The compute simulation was verified on the basis of comparing of final temperatures with experimental prototype. The design of control algorithm of flow of liquid through the solar system to reach the maximum effect of system is programme of this paper. Simulations of control algorithms are make in environment of MATLAB SIMULINK.

Knížková, Iva ; Šejvl, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Popov, Petr (referee)
Backround: Methamphetamine was first synthesized in 1893 by Japanese chemist Nagai Nagayoshi. In 1919, another Japanese chemist for the first time synthesized methamphetamine in crystalline form. The compound was used as a remedy for asthma, fever, runny nose and pain. It was also used in psychiatry for the treatment of schizophrenia and addiction to alcohol or morphine. Methamphetamine was researched for its use in World War II, where it soon gained great popularity. Soldiers of Germany, Japan and the Allies abused it extensively in combat missions. After the end of the war, a methamphetamine crisis broke out in Japan due to the opening of methamphetamine warehouses. This crisis lasted until the end of the 1950s. Aims: The present research has two goals: to map different areas of use and abuse of methamphetamine from its discovery to the late 1950s (I) and to describe the history of methamphetamine, its use in the World War II and the subsequent methamphetamine epidemic in Japan (II). Methods: The thesis will be written using a content analysis of primary and secondary documents, which will be searched using databases made available to students of the Charles University.

Purpose: The purpose of the thesis is to map the sexuality of regular methamphetamine and buprenorphin users, which up to now remains little explored. We would also like to find out whether there is a difference between the two, and more over to compare our findings with some characteristics of a same-age sample of Czech population. Methods: The research is of quantitative nature. The data were collected using an original anonymous questionnaire, which was separately answered by 267 respondents. 115 men and 51 women were methamphetamine users, while 68 men and 33 women were users of buprenorphine. The data were processed by SPSS. Results: 52 % of men and 66 % of women are satisfied with their sexual life. Some kind of change as a result of drug abuse noticed 73 % of all respondents. According to the type of substance, the groups differ in type of change. Women using buprenorphine have some need of sexual satisfaction more frequently than those using methamphetamine. During their drug career, 57 % of men and 66 % of women suffered from some kind of sexual problems. 61 % of women have some experience with lesbian sex and 40% account themselves bisexuals. 48 % of men have at some time paid for sex to a prostitute.

Stress and Limbic Iritability in Depresseion and Alkohol Dependency : Craving and Depression as a Disorder of Inhibitory Mechanisms?
Jasová, Denisa ; Bob, Petr (advisor) ; Popov, Petr (referee) ; Balcar, Karel (referee)
Stress and limbic iritability in depression and alcohol dependency Denisa Jasová Abstract Depressive disorders and alcohol dependency recently present epidemiologically most significant psychiatric disorders. According to current research both diseases are multifactorial, mainly represented by genetic and environmental conditions. Several recent research studies are mainly focused on social factors related to stress and traumatic events such as neglect, deprivation, verbal, emotional, physical and sexual abuse, bullying and others. Important feature of these pathological conditions present disbalance between excitatory and inhibitory systems. In this context in affective disorders as well as in alcohol dependency these inhibitory deficits are represented by increased sensitivity and excitability of the limbic system called limbic irritability. Several studies suggested that these pathological changes may be described using the kindling model that potentially may explain limbic changes similar to temporal lobe epilepsy which may produce affective, cognitive and psychosensory symptoms but without typical changes that occur in neurologically diagnosed epilepsy. Following these findings significant correlations between depression and limbic irritability and between limbic irritability and alcohol craving have...

Methods: A qualitative content analysis of documents that were available on given topic and their comparison was used for data collection. Afterwards, an analogy of obtained information was accomplished. Results: MUDr. Jan Šimsa, Bedřich Konařík and prof. Břetislav Foustka were very occupied with issue of addiction and excessive consumption of alcohol.

The structure of the patients' medical record from Apolinář in 1948
Slopovská, Hana ; Šejvl, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Popov, Petr (referee)
Background: The development of specialized institutionalized facilities for the treatment of alcohol addiction in our historical territory has a long tradition. It began as early as 1911, based on the concept of Ellikon and Eolshall, which inspired Bedřich Konařík, who, following their example, founded the first institution of this kind in Czechia, in Velké Kunčice, followed by other newly emerging treatment facilities in Tuchlov and Istebnon nad Oravou. The operation of all three treatment centers was gradually discontinued and after World War II there was no specialized facility for the treatment of addictions in our country. It was not until 7th September 1948 that an autonomuos alcohol department was established at Apolinář under the guidance of MUDr. Jaroslav Skála. The year 1948 is crucial for the development and creation of the first independent department for the treatment of addictions, therefore the analyzed medical records date back to that period. Aims: The aim of this research is to thoroughly map and describe the structure of medical records of Apolinar patients from 1948. Methods: Content analysis of historical documents was used for data collection, which were subsequently fixed into digital form. Coding, tufting and simple enumeration methods were applied to the collected data....
