Difference in approaches to prevention and therapy of male and female football players with ACL injury - research paper
Leszkow, David ; Pavlů, Dagmar (advisor) ; Reckziegelová, Petra (referee)
Title: Differences in Approaches to Prevention and Therapy for Female and Male Football Players with ACL Injuries - A Systematic Review Objective: The main aim of this thesis is to investigate whether there are different approaches to the prevention and treatment of ACL injuries in male and female football players. Methods: The thesis is prepared as a theoretical text in the form of a systematic literature search using PubMed, Web of Science and PEDro databases. The first part of the thesis contains the current status of the studied issue, theoretical background and treatment options for ACL injuries. The second part is descriptive-analytical in nature. It contains an analysis of the studies included in the thesis. Results: After the search, 4 studies met the criteria. Each of them focused on injury prevention, but unfortunately none of them investigated physiotherapy as such. However, the evaluation of the studies shows that both men and women use the same prevention programmes in football, which can reduce the risk of injury by up to 50 %. A limitation of the search is that most of the studies used did not examine the effect of prevention on both sexes simultaneously. Keywords: ACL, LCA, přední zkřížený vaz, ruptura, plastika, prevence, poranění, fyzioterapie, rehabilitace, postup, ženy, muži,...

Evaluation of environmental impacts of selected crops growing by LCA method
NNANDO, Emeka Micheal
Abstract The consequences of agricultural intensification and conventional farming are becoming increasingly apparent as climate change and variability continue to worsen. This study evaluated the environmental impacts of soybean production, with a focus on the climate change impact category. Agricultural data for various inputs, agrotechnical operations, and outputs of the production process were systematically collected from three distinct soybean farms (Becicka, Michalec and Agrokiwi) in the Pardubice district of the Czech Republic and analyzed using the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) framework. The functional unit considered in this study was 1 kg of soybeans. The results of the LCA show that the Agrokiwi and Michalec farms make the largest and smallest contributions to the climate change impact category with 6.17 kg CO2eq and 2.1 kg CO2eq respectively. The highest contribution, 51 percent, from Agrokiwi was attributed to the application of NPK fertilizer (15-15-15) and tillage plowing of the fields, with 0.0506 kg CO2eq and 0.0237 kg CO2eq respectively, while sowing and transport contributed the least, with 0.00979 kg CO2eq and 0.0091 kg CO2eq respectively. Findings also revealed a relationship between inputs, agrotechnical operations in soybean production, and their contribution to climate change.Regarding climate smartness or environmental sustainability, the Michalec agricultural practices/production system is more environmentally friendly due to the low use of mineral fertilizers and the spreading method. The results of the study suggest that the environmental performance of soybean production could be significantly improved by switching from synthetic fertilizers to more environmentally friendly organic farming, introducing crop rotations, and using disease-resistant seed varieties as a means of implementing sustainable agricultural practices/systems.

Indoorové pěstitelské systémy z pohledu Life Cycle Assessment
PROCHÁZKA, Karel
The aim of this work was to quantify the environmental impacts of growing vegetables in an indoor system using the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) method. The work included the experiment itself and data collection, as well as creating a literature review, defining the goals and scope of the assessment according to ISO 14040 and 14044 standards, data inventory, impact evaluation, and data interpretation with the aim of detecting the main sources of environmental burden and proposing measures for their reduction. A model of hydroponic cultivation of salad cucumber was presented as part of a project at the University of South Bohemia, where all processes from the acquisition of raw materials to production, including the consumption of water, materials, energy, and waste production, were taken into account. Hypotheses assumed that the greatest impacts would be associated with energy consumption and that the most affected categories would be toxicity and water consumption. The results of the study point to a significant environmental impact associated with energy inputs. Electrical energy, its production and consumption, represents up to 92 % of the total environmental load within the model.

Environmental Impact Assessment for Chosen Plastic Molding Technology
Dufková, Hana ; Kotek, Luboš (referee) ; Krbalová, Maria (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with assessment of environmental load by selected plastic molding technology. The first part is focused on the ecological legislation in the field of mechanical engineering, which also includes the production of plastics, and describes various methodologies for assessing the environmental load. Another chapter is an overview of polymers and their properties as well as the possibilities of plastics processing with description of individual types of production methods. The practical part of this work describes the composition of the produced piece and the injection molding process of plastic production. Its two methods (direct gating and hot sprue method) are analyzed and then the environmental load evaluation is performed using the LCA method – product life cycle assessment. The environmental load of both production methods is assessed.

Life cycle assessment of municipal waste
Vlach, Josef ; Slavík, Jan (referee) ; Jícha, Jaroslav (advisor)
The aim of this study is to present methodology life cycle (LCA) and Life Cycle Assessment of disposal the municipal solid waste chain. There is described the procedure of generation of the LCA studies according to the standards ČSN EN ISO 14 040 and ČSN EN ISO 14 044 in the first and second part. In the third part of this diploma there are described LCA analyses that have already been created. The software GEMIS (Global Emission Model for Integrated System) is described in the fourth part. The computer model GEMIS has been used as a calculation tool in this study. The fifth part of this study includes waste management and different kinds of disposal municipal solid waste. In this part is describe basic data about landfilling and incieration. There is shown LCA analysis of disposal municipial solid waste in the sixth part. Data processing was carried out by means of the software GEMIS 4.3. The results were interpreted for incineration and landfilling. Finally there is mentioned results for 1 TJ different elektrical energize to.

Environmental Impact Assessment for Chosen product
Durda, Tomáš ; Řezníčková, Hana (referee) ; Krbalová, Maria (advisor)
The Master´s thesis is structurally divided into the theoretical and practical part. In the theoretical part, the author describes current global environmental issues and the impact of the industry on the environment. The current state of the environmental legislation in mechanical engineering, environmental management systems, and methodologies of an environmental impact assessment are described. The practical part deals with the environmental burden of the snowboard production process according to the LCA method. Life cycle inventory is performed to evaluate individual materials whose production is the most environmentally damaging. At the last stage, possible measures are proposed to reduce the environmental burden.
