Imaging Methods in Antropology
KOBLASOVÁ, Věra
Abstract Imaging Methods in Anthropology. Anthropology, a science born in the 16th century, deals with humans. One of its branches is physical anthropology which includes forensic anthropology and osteology. The imaging methods in anthropology are indispensable tool for identification of the dead and for examination of mummies or other prehistoric bone material. Comparing of pre-death and after-death x-ray snapshots is essential for identification of human remains in forensic anthropology and odontology. The latest trend is 3D face reconstruction with the help of computed tomography. The aim of the thesis is: 1. To analyse all the methods available in the field of anthropology of the present time which use the radiology imaging methods. 2. To compare using of the computed tomography in the Czech Republic and other European countries. The data were obtained through questionnaires sent to anthropology institutes and museums dealing with photographing historical bone material and through searching and processing information focused on the topic of the theses. The results show that the imaging methods in anthropology are under-used. The anthropologists are fully aware of all available imaging methods but the methods are not used often enough because of financial and time consuming reasons. On the contrary to under-using the imaging methods in the Czech Republic the other European countries use the methods a lot more often. A hypothesis was established at the beginning of the research: ?All the available modern radiology imaging methods are not used enough in the Czech Republic. The hypothesis was confirmed. I would like to present the results of the theses at the specialist?s seminars of radiology assistants and to point out the possible further use of radiology imaging methods.

Longitudinal monitoring of bodily growth among children in České Budějovice in individual-growth waveforms selection
HARTLOVÁ, Michaela
This work is specialized on long - term monitoring, putting down and evaluationing parameters of bodily growth on instances of individual-growth waveforms in a group of children. For experimental part of this work was provided childrens metering, both sex, on four primary schools in České Budějovice and in the surrounding. Data were extracted in terms of research in years 1997- 2006. In the scope of my diploma work I took the part in this metering in years 2004 - 2006.

Sapir - Whorf Hypothesis
VOTŘEL, Jan
This work is concerned to an anthropological theory of linguistic relativism, that is called Sapir {--} Whorf hypothesis. This theory sais, that the language we use in-fluences our thought and our understanding of the world around us (our {\clqq}worl-dview``). The work deals with the historical antecedents of the hypothesis, focuses at characteristics of the hypothesis itself, at it´s empirical support and scarify it. Finally, the work shows some other theories that are similar to the Sapir {--} Whorf hypothesis.
