The Library of the Capuchin Monastery in Olomouc as Part of the Swedish Book Booty
Růžičková, Lucie ; Veselá, Lenka (advisor) ; Marek, Jindřich (referee)
The diploma thesis maps the fate of the library of the Capuchin Monastery in Olomouc. It focuses on the period of occupation by Swedish troops between 1642 and 1650 and the Swedish book booty. One hundred preserved titles, which are registered in the database The Swedish Booty of Books from Bohemia and Moravia 1646-1648, are then analysed. Historical circumstances that are connected to the Capuchins' arrival in Bohemia and Moravia are described in the first part. The origin of the Capuchin Monastery and library in Olomouc is clarified. Subsequently, significant moments of the Swedish occupation of Olomouc are presented, especially with regard to the Capuchin convent. At the end of the first part, there is a description of the process and circumstances of the Swedish confiscation of the library and its following transportation. In the second part, the preserved books are characterized. They are labelled according to their age, linguistic characteristics, origin and outer form. A content structure as well as preserved provenance are examined. This characterises the Capuchin library and its administration. In conclusion, the new knowledge of the history of the Capuchin library and its collection before the Swedish confiscation in 1645 is introduced.

Sarcopenia in patients with Huntington's disease
Šoltésová, Mária ; Klempíř, Jiří (advisor) ; Růžičková, Lucie (referee)
Introduction: This cross-sectional, non-interventional, non-randomized, prospective and observational study aims to determine whether sarcopenia and its types occur in a cohort of 16 patients with Huntington's disease and, if so, at which stages of the disease. The study also aspives to identify patients with Huntington's disease who are at risk of sarcopenia (so-called presarcopenia). In addition, the study also compares the results of nutritional and functional status tests between a group of patients and healthy controls who were of the same sex, age and with no further acute or chronic disease that could significantly affect their nutritional and functional status. This was done to determine to what extent the patients exhibit reduced nutritional and functional parameters as compared with the healthy population. Methods: Individuals with clinically diagnosed Huntington's disease who agreed to participate were recruited. These individuals are outpatients of the Department of Neurology, VFN in Prague and the 1st Faculty of Medicine, Charles University in Prague. A series of tests were performed to assess the nutritional and functional status of the individual - questionnaires of functional status, self-sufficiency and sarcopenia, bioimpedance testing, strength tests using a hand dynamometer and...

Ecosystem services and community gardens in Prague
Růžičková, Lucie ; Spilková, Jana (advisor) ; Frélichová, Jana (referee)
Community gardens are a new phenomenon which appeared in Prague quite recently. This thesis focuses on the topic of community gardens and its specific aim is to determine whether the Prague community gardens perform the functions of ecosystem services. The thesis consists of two main parts. The first part aims to create a theoretical framework necessary for the introduction to the study of ecosystem services and the concept of urban gardening. The second part tries to outline which ecosystem services are the most prominent in the researched community gardens and which are the least covered, thus which community gardens in this performance of ecosystem services evaluated best and which the worst. By applying the method of field research and interview it has been confirmed that cultural ecosystem services are the most prominent benefit of community gardening for local communities in Prague. Other important functions that community gardens in this survey performed were supporting and regulating ecosystem services. Equally important is also the finding that community gardens perform the function of producing healthy food for local gardeners. Key words: ekosystem secvices, urban gardering, community gardens

Suicide and Self-Sacrifice
Růžičková, Lucie ; Halama, Jindřich (advisor) ; Keřkovský, Pavel (referee)
Annotation: The topic of my thesis is 'suicide' and 'self-sacrifice'. The main target of the paper is to become familiar with the terms 'suicide' and 'self-sacrifice' and to find a difference between the two terms with reference to the ethical assessment. The paper has two theoretical parts. In the first part I briefly define terms 'suicide' and 'self-sacrifice' based on literature exploding some common myths and I present medical, psychological, sociological and theological knowledge on the subject. I also study historical, as well as cultural development of a suicide classification, methods, forms and means of the suicidal act and its specifics according to age, gender and different motives. The second part of the paper is dedicated to the Jan Palach case. In this part, I am trying to answer the question of whether the Palach's act is to be considered a suicide or self-sacrifice and I am also considering its ethical acceptability. I am examining motives of Palach's act, his life story, conducts and opinions, and I am dealing with responses of contemporary as well as present authors and the church representatives. At the same time, I also carry on my own critical evaluation and I am trying to answer the question whether the Palach's burn-to death act is for me an acceptable form of a ...

The return to work of women after parental leave
Růžičková, Lucie ; Kocianová, Renata (advisor) ; Kuchař, Pavel (referee)
SUMARRY The focus of this dissertation is the return to work of women after parental leave. The paper explores the topic of maternity and parental leave and care required by pre-school children. It further looks at the current employment status of these women on the job market, along with the offer of flexible forms of employment. The current situation in the Czech Republic is compared to other countries, mainly member states of the European Union. An empirical study based on a questionnaire survey is also a part of this paper. This survey examines the situation of a number of female employees of VZP ČR on parental leave as well as their managers and employees after return to work from parental leave. Based on the results of the survey, this paper proposes a programme, which should help female employees of VZP ČR with a smoother transition while returning to work.

Implementation of Challenging Tasks in Mathematics Education
Růžičková, Lucie ; Kopáčková, Alena (advisor) ; Harminc, Matúš (referee) ; Tichá, Marie (referee)
Title: Implementation of Challenging Tasks in Mathematics Education Author: PhDr. Lucie Růžičková Department: Department of Mathematics and Mathematics Education Supervisor: RNDr. Alena Kopáčková, Ph.D. ABSTRACT The thesis deals with practical implementation of challenging tasks in mathematics education. The methodology for examining "the fidelity of implementation of mathematical tasks" is being designed to describe whether the task is used according to the original intention of the teacher or according to the intention of its author. This methodology is employed in the analysis of four experiments to examine mathematical tasks and task environments. Then, based on the experience with the analysis, the methodology is adapted to the needs of both the teaching practice and educational research. The main result of the thesis is the creation of the methodology for examining the fidelity of implementation of mathematical tasks which is based on contrasting the descriptions of four general elements of the mathematical task at different phases of its implementation. KEY WORDS: mathematics education, mathematical task, challenging task, implementation of tasks

Teacher's questions in the teaching of mathematics
Růžičková, Lucie
This diploma thesis studies various ways of observing mathematics teachers' questions, with particular respect to the possible influence of the questions on learners' cognitive processes and on the quality of acquired mathematical knowledge. There are two main aims: to create plausible criteria for characterising mathematics teachers' questions and to compile a collection of authentic communicational situations. On the basis of empirical research, certain phenomena of communication that are worth observing in mathematics classrooms for the purposes of the study of teachers' questions are described. A collection of concrete examples illustrating the actual occurrences of each of the described phenomena forms an integral part of the results. The significance of corrective questions from the point of view of cognitive impact on learners is emphasized and their further exploration is suggested.

Nutritional Status in Patients with Huntington's Disease and Nutritional Support
Kosheleva, Svetlana ; Klempíř, Jiří (advisor) ; Růžičková, Lucie (referee)
Huntington's disease is a dominantly-inherited autosomal neurodegenerative disease manifested by disorders of motility, cognitive function, behaviour, and weight loss, which is conditioned multifactorially. The aim of the study was to determine whether there are eating disorders in Huntington's disease, as well as its etiology and severity. Neurological scaling, anthropometric examinations, evaluation of three-day diet records, measurements with a manual dynamometer, bioimpedance analyses, indirect colorimetry and predictions of energy expenditure were performed on 10 patients. Algorithms were applied for the diagnosis of sarcopenia and malnutrition. Unwanted weight loss was observed in all patients and 4 out of 10 showed malnutrition. No difference was found between the values of measured resting metabolism and calculated according to the predictive equation. However, it has been shown that strict nutritional recommendations based on this data can be misleading for some patients with HN, as real energy consumption can be significantly higher. All our patients had a positive energy balance. A new diagnostic algorithm for the early diagnosis of sarcopenia has proven its worth. Using bioimpedance analysis and examination of the force of the handshake, we identified possible sarcopenia and already-present...
