Veselá, Adéla ; Řasová, Kamila (advisor) ; Švojgrová, Andrea (referee)
Title: Structural Brain Changes in Multiple Sclerosis Patients and Their Clinical Implications The main objective: The aim of this thesis is to determine whether lesions of the corticospinal tract can affect motor skills such as balance and walking in people with MS, as measured by the clinical tests Timed Up and Go (TUG), Berg Balance Scale (BBS), and the 12-item Multiple Sclerosis Walking Scale (MSWS-12). Another aim was to determine whether a two-month facilitationn therapy would influence balance and walking assessed by TUG, BBS, and MSWS when the corticospinal tract is affected by lesions in people with MS. And whether the effect of a two-month facilitation therapy varies depending on the involvement of CST. Methods: This work is part of the study "Neuroproprioceptive "Facilitation, Inhibition" and Brain Plasticity (NEFAI)", registered under the number NCT04355663, for which paraclinical (magnetic resonance (MR) images) and clinical data (Timed Up and Go test (TUG), Berg Balance Scale (BBS), and the 12-item Multiple Sclerosis Walking Scale (MSWS) questionnaire) were obtained from people with MS between 2015 and 2017. Lesions on MR images of people with MS were delineated in the 3D slicer program as part of my bachelors thesis in 2022. For the master's thesis, these images are aligned in the...

Addressing the sexuality of people with disabilities from the perspective of social workers
WOLFOVÁ, Natálie Michala
This bachelor's thesis explores the topic of sexuality by persons with disabilities. The main aim of this thesis was to describe the experience that social workers have when dealing with sexuality by persons with disabilities, who live in residential facilities. A partial aim of the thesis was to discover the attitude of social workers to the issues with sexuality by persons with disabilities. The practical part of this bachelor's thesis was realized with qualitative research. The collection of the data was performed with semi-structured interviews. Social workers, who work in residential facilities with persons with disabilities, were selected intentionally for the research. The collected data were processed using coding and subsequently divided into categories and subcategories. It was discovered from the research that persons with disabilities experience their sexuality actively. One of the indicators of experiencing sexuality may be affection for others. Also touches, hugs, or passing kisses. Social workers and organisations, in which they work, have a favourable attitude towards the topic of sexuality of their clients. A free space is provided to the disabled. The organisation enables privacy to its clients when meeting their sexual needs. The clients may openly communicate about their sexuality. There are some methods made, which are based on the theoretical information and experience with expressing clients' sexuality according to which the residential facilities act. Within the promotion and development of themes of sexuality, the knowledge in this bachelor's thesis could help the providers of social services in the process of improving the quality of life of persons with disabilities in the area of sexuality.

Gemini
Kartal, Emina ; Nový, Vítězslav (referee) ; Marek, Jiří (advisor)
The topic of the bachelor thesis is inclusive architecture. The aim of the thesis is the design of the dormitory and reconstruction of the Gemini High School in the Lesná housing estate in Brno, together with the reconstruction of the school's surroundings. The high school plans to increase its current capacity and aims for inclusive education, which is reflected in the new design. The current conditions are already inadequate. In the past, the school management was constrained by the available options and adopted a building with a kindergarten layout together with a garden. As a result, the school operates on a limited footprint or in cramped quarters. The aim is to provide quality education for all without distinction. An education that will be combined with a pleasant stay for the students, in the airy spaces in the school or the school garden, or in the new boarding building. The proposal includes a sustainable design approach to ensure that the investor incurs fewer costs associated with operating a building that functions as an educational institution.

Perfection
Daneková, Petra ; Topínková, Anita (referee) ; Klodová, Lenka (advisor)
In my final work I deal with the topic of handicap, disability and otherness. Any otherness causes fear in society, fear of ignorance. Being healthy, "normal," means the assumption of a full-fledged life of modern man. A disabled person, whether physically or mentally, does not meet these priorities and ideas of normality. I try to point out the handicap positively, not to hide it. I also work on the qualities of beauty and ugliness because they are very similar to health and disability issues. My final work is focused on the affected bodies. The result is a set of exposed objects that, in conjunction with the installation, can act as luxury goods. The work consists of about fifteen hand-sewn gloves of various shapes and materials. They are very extraordinary objects that only "sit" for the chosen. The aim of the work is to contribute to works that seek to promote disability in art or culture.
