Pollinator movement and orientation at small spatial scales
Matoušková, Eva ; Janovský, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Tropek, Robert (referee)
Pollination is interesting andcomplex interaction between insects and plants which is essential for a wide spectrum of plants and animals. Hoverflies (Diptera: Syrphidae) and bees (Hymenoptera: Anthophila) are one of the most common pollinators in the Central Europe and are mostly involved in pollination of local plants. To maintain pollination, it is necessary the movement of pollinator from one flower of a specific species to another flower of the same species. This movement is affected by a number of factors based on both the environmental and pollinator traits. The aim of this work is to explore the nature of traits affecting pollinator flight between plants on small spatial scales, to classify the knowledge about the influence of pollinator and ambient effects to compare the differences between hoverflies and bees and suggest further possible fields of research. Keywords: pollination, hoverflies, bees, Syrphidae, Anthophila, movement

Body schema in patients with vestibular syndrome
Kindlmannová, Tereza ; Truc, Michal (advisor) ; Černý, Rudolf (referee)
The aim of the master thesis "Body schema in patients with vestibular syndrome" is focused of perception of body schema in patiens with phobic postrural vertigo and patiens with periferal vestibular lesion. In a first part is summarised knowledges about equilibrium control, clinical forms of vestibular syndrome and body orientation in external world. In the next part is described body schema and internal representation of body. The main part of work follows the examination of the somatognostic function with emphasis on relationship between vestibular and somatosensory aference in patiens and healthy subjects. The end shows conclusions of awareness of body schema in patiens and healthy subjects. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Changes in perception of subjective vertical in cerebrovascular accident patients
Kříž, Petr ; Čakrt, Ondřej (advisor) ; Bitnar, Petr (referee)
Cerebro-vascular accident often affects parts of brain responsible for spatial orientation. Optimal integration of afference from visual, somatosensory and vestibular system is necessary for maintaining balance and often in the end for the functional indepencence of the patient. Examination of subjective vertical is a sensitive signifier for spatial orientation and the ability to discern graviception. By using clinical examination of subjective visual vertical it is possible to objectify and quantify graviception disorder excluding visual context. Current level of understanding in this field is briefly summarized in theoretical part of this study. In practical part subjective visual vertical examination by bucket-method was for statistically comparison of 29 patients after a cerebro- vascular accident with 34 healthy seniors. Hypotheses about the influence of a side of a lesion and a time elapsed since the lesions were also tested. The study concludes that the perception of verticality in patients after cerebro- vascular accident can be severely affected. Additionally, the study highlights the reliability of examination of patients after cerebro-vascular accident using clinically practical bucket-method.

Didactic Aid according to Montessori Pedagogy as the Instrument for Space Orientation Development of Preschool Child with Disability.
MILICHOVSKÁ, Lenka
This bachelor´s thesis focuses on creating a teaching aid according to Montessori principles of education, an aid which serves as a tool for development of spatial orientation of pre-school children with disabilities. The theoretical part is divided into six chapters. The first chapter centres on disabled individuals. The second chapter describes the specifics of pre-school children´s development and presents a comparison with developmental characteristics of a child with cerebral palsy, and in the third chapter, child with developmental dysphasia. The other three chapters that follow deal with Montessori education; the first of these describes the main Montessori principles, the second elaborates on the theoretical basis of Montessori material and the final chapter engages itself with pre-school facilities and home environment based on Montessori principles. The principal aim of this thesis is to create a teaching aid in line with Montessori methods for a pre-school child with disability with the focus on spatial orientation. The first sub-goal was to observe the child while working with the original Montessori material. The second sub-goal targeted the production of a teaching aid for development of spatial orientation according to Montessori education. Furthermore, this aid was used for training the disabled child in order to teach it how to work with such an aid, which constituted the third sub-goal. The fourth sub-goal was a demonstration of the child´s work with the aid in the presence of legal representatives for work with this aid in a home environment. The fifth, and final, sub-goal, was to implement the aid in a home environment. Based on these defined objectives, research issues were established. In order to fulfill all the goals, a qualitative method of research was chosen. To get hold of necessary data for creating the teaching aid, a technique of observation of disabled children was used, as well as an analysis of personal documentation. Moreover, data were collected with the assistance of semi-standardised interview with educators and legal representatives of the disabled children. The research was conducted in the period between January and the end of March 2016. The research group included three disabled children frequenting Family Centre Pomněnka in České Budějovice, their legal representatives and educators of the centre. The outcome of this work is a teaching aid, hand-made according to Montessori education with a focus on spatial orientation. The aid was created in two modifications and was further adjusted on the basis of individual needs of each disabled child chosen. Upon the observation of disabled children in the Montessori centre and analysis of record keeping sheets, it was found that the created teaching aid develops orientation on a work surface in both vertical and horizontal plane, basic concepts of orientation on the work surface (concepts such as up - down, first - middle - last, on the right - on the left, up and right/left, down and right/left), accuracy and ability to compare forms (letters) with each other. This hand-made tool was tested in both educational and home environment. The research shows that both these environments stimulate the children, leading them to act systematically and independently. The aid was used in compliance with the basic "requirements" of Montessori pedagogy and its attributes for work with the aid, with emphasis on the well-prepared environment (quiet, suitable time, personal space,...) and systematic nature of the work with the aid. A teaching aid enables, according to Montessori education, to allow for individual needs of any child with special educational needs and can be utilized in both educational and home environment.

Zahradně architektonická studie obytného souboru z 2. poloviny 20. století
Nezvalová, Veronika
The main task of the diploma thesis was to design the area of housing estate from the second half of the 20th century. The thesis is divided into three parts. The first theoretic part has two other chapters, when first of them deals with problems of collective housing of the mentioned period. There is a more detailed description of the main factors, which brought an intensive housing development, then description of the key concepts for a correct orientation in the mentioned field and also specifics which are related to living in housing estates in general. The second chapter brings summary of many examples of designing the housing in Czech Republic as well as abroad, which illustrates various principles for solutions of other housing estates. The second part of the diploma thesis contains more detailed analysis of the chosen model area. All of the required analysis was done in a broad range to understand every single relation in the particular area. On the basis of this definition improvement proposals were defined for the design of the urban area of housing estate in Bohunice. The last part contains principles how to design particular problems and threats in the chosen model area. Some principles could be used in the process of designing of the similar types of housing estates. The diploma thesis elaborates the particular parts of the different function and social importance, however together make an united urban district. Main central square, park and two housing units were designed in detail.
