Nuns as caretakers? A look into nuns's activities in selected hospitals of the Czechoslovak Republic between 1948 and 1960
Štrofová, Kateřina ; Stehlík, Michal (advisor) ; Michela, Miroslav (referee)
(in english) The subject of this thesis are three female monastic communities and their activities in selected hospitals of socialist Czechoslovakia between the years 1948-1960. The aim is to examine the overall policy of the communist authorities towards sisters in the specific environment of hospitals and the stance of local authorities, i.e. the everyday practise in healthcare. Emphasis is placed on the nuns themselves, their professional relationships with doctors and civil nurses and their actions on the local level. The thesis also analyses church practise in hospitals, interventions of the state-appointed church secretaries and partly even their oversight of activity of the Catholic church in individual districts. Last but not least, large effort was expanded to reconstruct the sisters' own perception of post-1948 persecutions and interventions in medical care, not just in relation to the strategies, which they have chosen to cope with the adverse conditions within their communities, but also their mostly disapproving attitudes towards the interventions of the communist regime against their presence in hospitals.

Ludmila Benigna of Sternberg. Spiritual life and wordly matters of a baroque noblewoman
Křečková, Kamila Marie ; Zdichynec, Jan (advisor) ; Oulíková, Petra (referee)
The thesis deals with some aspects of spiritual world of early baroque aristocrat women in the Lands of the Bohemian Crown, on the example of Ludmila Benigna of Sternberg. In some parts, her personality is compared with those of her female contemporaries. The role of a private Jesuit confessor of noblewomen is outlined, namely on the basis of the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola and later rules of the Jesuit order. A particular spiritual direction of the widowed Ludmila Benigna is described, with the use of confessors letters from the Sternberg family archive. The language education of noblewomen of those times and the literature they read are mentioned as well. Spiritual life also relates to the idea of a good death, preparation for it, and the second life of Jesuits' patronesses in Jesuit texts. Further, the period ideal of a widow's life is presented in the thesis. The ideal and real status, and the legal and social status of a widow in the society are compared, providing specific examples. Ludmila Benigna, known in the artistic and historical literature as a benefactor, builder, and philanthropist supporting several religious orders, is shown to have followed many intentions of her deceased husband and his family. Key words Ludmila Benigna of Sternberg, née Kavka of Říčany;...

Study of potential anti-adherence compounds in a lung cell model as a means for the prophylaxis of bacterial infections in cystic fibrosis
Áčová, Andrea ; Hodek, Petr (advisor) ; Nosková, Libuše (referee)
5 Abstract Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an insidious genetic disease with autosomal-recessive inheritance. The impaired function of the CFTR protein, caused by a mutation in the eponymous gene, results in a wide range of symptoms, the most serious being the effect on the respiratory system. The main impact on the respiratory system is the appearance of thick mucus, which contributes to the accumulation of bacterial cells in the patient's lungs. Life-threatening pathogens include Burkholderia cenocepacia (BC) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA). These bacteria produce several virulence factors such as BC2L-A or BC2L-C lectins in BC and PA-IIL in PA. The virulence factors allow bacteria to bind via protein-saccharide interactions to lung cells with altered glycosylation, which is seen in the CF patient. This diploma thesis focuses on the above-mentioned lectin interaction and the inhibitory effect of hen IgY antibodies or trivalent fucosylated glycoclusters on the adherence of BC (strain ST-32, CCM 7291) / PA (strain PAK, ST 1763) to lung epithelial cells of the CuFi-1 (from a CF patient) / NuLi-1 (from a healthy donor). The possible influence of glycoclusters on PA (PA-lux strain) cell viability was studied, but no significant effect was observed. To verify the expression of the BC2L-C lectin, it was necessary to...

Benjamin Košut - the life and work of an evangelical pastor
Sedliský, Filip ; Zdichynec, Jan (advisor) ; Pokorná, Magdaléna (referee)
The work deals with the life and work of the evangelical pastor Benjamin Košut (1822-1898). Košut served at the congregation in Borová, Velenice, but mainly at St. Clement's in Prague. During his service in Prague, he contributed to the periodical Českobratrský hlas, of which he was also responsible editor. At this time, among other things, he took part in a dispute with his opponents, who were inclined towards the neo- Calvinist approach to the reformed faith. Košut was suspended for his views and had to defend himself in disciplinary proceedings. During the proceedings, he was found guilty, but after signing a written undertaking, he was allowed to return to his pastoral activity. Košut is in many ways an interesting personality. He had a thoroughly rationalistic approach to faith, he was not afraid to break certain dogmas. He saw God as a loving fatherly figure who considers people his children, rejecting the completely negative anthropology of orthodox Calvinism. For Košut, Jan Hus was a great inspiration and probably the greatest personality of the Czech reformation, to whom he dedicated many sermons full of admiration. Košut's Christianity was also very patriotic. The work is based to a lesser extent on secondary literature, but also mainly on the analysis of primary sources. It contains an...

Aligning pre-trained models for spoken language translation
Sedláček, Šimon ; Beneš, Karel (referee) ; Kesiraju, Santosh (advisor)
Tato práce zkoumá nový end-to-end přístup k překladu mluveného jazyka (ST) využívající předtrénovaných modelů pro přepis řeči (ASR) a strojový překlad (MT), propojené malým spojovacím modulem (Q-Former, STE). Ten má za úkol překlenout mezeru mezi modalitami řeči a textu mapováním embedding reprezentací ASR enkodéru do latentního prostoru reprezentací MT modelu. Během trénování jsou zvolené ASR a MT model zmrazeny, laděny jsou pouze parametry spojovacího modulu. Trénování a evaluace jsou prováděny na datasetu How2, obsahujícím ST data z Angličtiny do Portugalštiny. V našich experimentech zjišťujeme, že většina sladěných systémů překonává referenční kaskádový ST systém, přičemž využívají stejné základní modely. Navíc, při zachování konstantní a ve srovnání malé (10M parametrů) velikosti spojovacího modulu, větší a silnější ASR a MT modely univerzálně zlepšují výsledky překladu. Zjišťujeme, že spojovací moduly mohou také sloužit jako doménové adaptéry pro zvolené základní systémy, kdy významně zlepšují výsledky překladu ve sladěném ST prostředí, a to i oproti holému MT výkonu daného MT modelu. Nakonec navrhujeme proceduru pro předtrénování spojovacího modulu s potenciálem snížit množství ST dat potřebných pro trénink obdobných sladěných systémů.
