Impact of food and lower leg massage on postural stability
Novák, Matěj ; Nováková, Pavlína (advisor) ; Hošková, Blanka (referee)
Title: Impact of foot and lower limb massage postural stability Objectives: Find out what impact does sport massage of foot and lower limb has on postural stability. Methods: The research was realized in the form of a Crossover design experiment and involved 8 subjects. It was a one-group experiment where all participants were part of both the experimental and control groups. The measurement results were based on comparing the input and outcome measurements, with foot and calf massage being performed on the experimental group of subjects, while the control group was passively resting by lying on their backs. A pressure plate called Footscan was used to obtain the results in the Laboratory of Sports Motorics at the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport, Charles University. Results: In the overall comparison of the results of all measured stances it is possible to see that in the first four stances, without the foam pad, experimental group achieved positive results even by ten percent. Only the results of narrow standing with eyes open (USOO) were negative. There was a deterioration of 21% in delta X and 15% in delta Y. However, these results cannot be considered positive since the control group achieved similar results with the same positive or negative tendencies in almost all evaluated...

Effect of selected antiparasitic drugs on Trichobilharzia regenti
Lípová, Pavlína ; Horák, Petr (advisor) ; Chanová, Marta (referee)
Praziquantel is a drug of choice for the treatment of schistosomiasis caused by human species of the genus Schistosoma. The effect of the drug on avian schistosomes is not completely known. Monensin is a drug used for the treatment of coccidiosis, and its effect on avian schistosomes is unknown. In the thesis, we studied the effect of these drugs on avian schistosome Trichobilharzia regenti. Under in vitro conditions, both drugs were effective after 6 hours of incubation. Praziquantel causes an extensive vacuolization of the whole body, while monensis treatment causes vacuolization of the anterior part of body. Higher concentration of praziquantel causes depolymerization of myofilaments and separation of surface membranes. Monensin did not impair muscles, but caused separation of tegumental layer from the basal membrane. Schistosomula in ducks were not killed by the drugs under in vivo conditions, but the worms were damaged by the drugs. Praziquantel caused vacuolization of the tegument and separation of membranes from the surface. Only vacuolization of the tegument occurred in schistosomula from ducks treated with monensin . No damage to the muscles was observed in the case of both drugs. Histological evaluation of the nerve tissue showed that thero no difference between treated and control duck....

The Effect of Kinesio Tape on the Muscle Activation of the Long Head of the Biceps in Baseball Players
Truesdale, Joseph ; Musálek, Martin (advisor) ; Malá, Jitka (referee)
Thesis Title: The Effect of Kinesio Tape (KT) on the Muscle Activation of the Long Head of the Biceps in Baseball Players. Objective: KT is one of several treatment techniques in injury prevention and treatment for high demand movements, such as overhead throwing. The baseball throwing motion, or the overhead throwing motion, places tremendous stress on the shoulder where coordination of its subsequent musculature, such as the long head of the biceps, are crucial. As a result, injuries do occur. However, the acute effect of KT on the muscular activity of the LHB is not well known. The aim of this thesis is to verify that the application of KT to the skin located superficially to the Long Head of the Biceps increases its activity in the baseball throwing motion. Methods: The research sample included 21 active Czech Extraliga baseball players (21 male, aged 25.3 ±5.9 years, height 183.2 ±6.9 cm, weight 83.8 ±11.1 kg, years baseball of participation 17.1 ±6.5 years), which reported no current or recent shoulder pain or injury. The surface Electromyograph (sEMG) of the muscle activity from each subject was collected using a Bittium Biomonitor transmitter and receiver, model ME6000 (Bittium Inc. Oulu, Finland). There was recorded Maximum Voluntary Isometric Contraction (MVIC) activity of the Long Head...

Madárová, Andrea ; Žáčková, Hana (advisor) ; Cimrmannová, Tereza (referee)
This dissertation called "Influence of adult addictions and addictive behavior on children and adolescents" is divided into two parts: theoretical one and a practical one. In the theoretical part, there will be defined the addiction and the addictive behavior, after they will be put into the International Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems.

Chaos, šílenství a jejich souvislost s prostředím ve vybraných povídkách Edgara Allana Poea
FEKETOVÁ, Petra
Chaos and madness belong among the most prominent themes in the work of the American writer Edgar Allan Poe. For this thesis, I have decided to focus on these two themes and their relation to the settings which they take place in, mainly because the settings are a key feature in Poe's work. The connection of chaos and madness to the settings will be examined through four selected texts from the author's prosaic work. The aim of this thesis is to analyze these texts on the basis of these connections and therefore to provide new points of view on them.

Causal Circumstantial Adverbials in the contemporary French: description, position, function. Comparison with Czech.
BEŠŤÁKOVÁ, Kristina
The diploma thesis is dealing with a description, emplacement and function of the causal adverbial complement in the contemporary French and Czech language. This paper is divided into a theoretical and a practical part. In the theoretical part, the topic of causality is elucidated and the notion of causal adverbial complement in the French and Czech linguistic terminology is defined. Further, it works with syntactic and semantic features of causal adverbial complement, observes the possible valence understanding of this sentence member, and deals with the question of its extra-predicative and intra-predicative emplacement, as well. Furthermore, the attention is drawn to the position of causal adverbial complement in a relationship to the functional sentence perspective. The practical part is dedicated to corpus analysis of the chosen causal utterances, which implement the causal adverbial complements. The main focus is given to their emplacement in the French and Czech sentence.
