1/1 škola: UNIVERZITA KARLOVA V PRAZE, Fakulta tělesné výchovy a sportu disertační práce: "Trends and forecasts in the technology of artificial disc replacement" autor: Ing. Daniel Bodlák datum: prosinec 2023 Abstract: The aim of the work was the study of current and new directions and trends in intervertebral disc replacement technology, a critical evaluation of current methods using implants for the treatment of degenerative disc disease, as well as a forecast of further development. The work also contains the related results of the collaboration on the optimization of the total "ball and socket" lumbar disc replacement within the project TA01010860 "Solving the problem of intervertebral disc replacement using modern knowledge, engineering methods and progressive technologies". In the part of the dissertation, focused on theoretical starting points, the attention is paid first to the intervertebral disc itself and its various aspects, from anatomy, through biomechanics and degenerative diseases, to the issue of implants for its partial or even total replacement. Subsequently, current trends and progressive methods of treatment are processed. The results section begins with a description of the methods used and then presents the results themselves, both from literature research and experimental work....

Animal exploitation for working purposes in the past from Archaeozoology view
OPELKOVÁ, Monika
This paper will focus to animal exploitation for working purposes in the past, especially in agriculture, based on degeneration changes on the bones of cattle and horses, which are caused by intensive strain of these animals. Firstly, I would like to introduce these changes in general, their classification, ways of harnessing and the oldest archaeological evidences of working exploitation of animals as well. Secondly, in practical part I will deal with analysis of archaeozoological collection from La Téne site in Modlešovice and study several pathological signs on it.
