Tichá, Kateřina ; Tobrmanová, Šárka (advisor) ; Šťastná, Zuzana (referee)
The thesis consists of two parts. The first, practical part presents a translation of short stories The Portobello Road (1956), The Curtain Blown by the Breeze (1961) and The Young Man Who Discovered the Secret of Life (2000) by the Scottish writer Muriel Spark. The texts represent various periods of Spark's writing career and offer a complex insight into her style and its various shades. The translation is succeeded by a study focusing on the life and work of Muriel Spark and mainly on an analysis of the key translation issues encountered in the process of translation. The key problems include the translation of Spark's specific literary language, the rendering of natural speech and the idiolects of the characters, the translation of names and other culture-specific facts. The theoretical part devoted to the translation analysis stresses the link between various translation theories and the work of a translator.

Effect MTEP on immature rat behaviour.
Tichá, Kateřina ; Mareš, Pavel (advisor) ; Telenský, Petr (referee)
Metabotropic glutamate receptors represent prospective targets for anticonvulsant therapy of epilepsy. However there may be serious negative side effects. In this study the highly specific antagonist of mGluR5 was used - MTEP, [(2-methyl-1,3-thiazol-4-yl)ethynyl] pyridine, which was shown previously to have an anticonvulsant action. Our study was aimed at other possible effects, such as efficacy in motor skills, spontaneous behaviour, space learning and rate of anxiety. Animals, immature male Wistar rats (12, 18 and 25 days old), were pretreated with MTEP in two different doses - 20mg/kg and 40mg/kg, because MTEP demonstrated anticonvulsant activity in exactly such high doses. Animals were tested 15 min, 60 min and 24h (in elevated plus maze test only) after treatement. No negative effects were found in motor tests;, space learning in elevated plus maze was also not compromised. On the other hand, MTEP influenced frequency of some types of stereotypic behaviour in the open field test. MTEP exhibited anxiolytic-like effect in elevated plus maze in immature rats; this side effect has to be taken as a positive one. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
