Perception of individual variation in body odour in human adults
Fialová, Jitka ; Havlíček, Jan (advisor) ; Schaal, Benoist (referee) ; Stopka, Pavel (referee)
The thesis consists of two parts. The first part introduces the topic of human chemical communication and reviews current evidence on individual variation in human body odour and its perception. This part is framed by sexual selection theory. In the first chapter, the concept of the theory of communication is introduced followed by a discussion on the specifics of chemical communication. Next, the formation of individually specific body odour signatures with reference to skin glands, their volatile products and the subsequent metabolization by skin microflora is described. The next chapters are dedicated to selected interindividual body odour cues such as sex and kin recognition, genetic compatibility in genes of Major Histocompatibility Complex, and health and reproductive status in a mate choice context. Furthermore, interactions between perfumes and body odours are discussed. Finally, methods of body odour sampling are introduced and a rationale behind presenting individual samples or body odour blends is discussed. The second part is comprised of six scientific papers, specifically three reviews and three empirical studies. Review papers summarize factors affecting human body odour quality with emphasis on diet and affective states. The first text shows that human body odours contain cues to...

Affective mood states of the patient in physiotherapy care
Formanová, Miroslava ; Harbichová, Ivana (advisor) ; Nováková, Tereza (referee)
Title: Affective mood states of the patient in physiotherapy care Objectives: The aim of the theoretical part is to summarise the available findings about the chosen physiotherapeutical procedures, the psychosomatic attitude to the patients, the emotional states, the affective mood states and the possibilities how to influence them. The aim of the practical part is to evaluate the affective mood states of the patients before and after the physiotherapy care. Methods: The research involves twenty-five patients who underwent physiotherapeutical care in the centres specialised in holistic treatment. Their state was observed with the help of the POMS Questionnaire. The patients filled in the forms before and after the physiotherapeutical intervention with the psychosomatic attitude. The non-parametric version of the Wilcoxon's test was used for the evaluation of the differences of the dependent selected groups. Results: The results have proved all of the three hypotheses. After the physiotherapeutical intervention the current psychical state changed, the decrease of the tension, depression, anger, fatigue and confussion was significant. The vitality was increased significantly. Keywords: Emotional states, physiotherapy, psychosomatic attitude, POMS

The aim of the practical part is to evaluate the affective mood states of the patients before and after the physiotherapy care. Methods: The research involves fifty patients who underwent physiotherapeutical care in the centres specialised in holistic treatment. Their state was observed with the help of the POMS Questionnaire. The patients filled in the forms before and after the physiotherapeutical intervention with the psychosomatic attitude. The non-parametric version of the Wilcoxon's test was used for the evaluation of the differences of the dependent selected groups. Results: The results have proved all of the three hypotheses.
