Páleníková, Petra ; Klenková, Jiřina (advisor) ; Květoňová, Lea (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with mutism from the perspective of specialized czech and foreign literature. The character of the thesis is theoretical and the thesis is divided into three parts. In the first chapter, there is mutism described based on the study of czech specialized literature as well as etiology, symptoms, diagnostics and treatment. The second chapter describes the same categories but based on the study of foreign literature. The last part is dedicated to the analysis and comparison of acquired knowledge in particular areas. The most signifiant differences can be found in the area of diagnostics and therapy of mutisms, which are more elaborated in foreign literature than in Czech literature. Some differences appear in all other areas of mutism. The learning theory is the characteristic feature of foreign literature in the field of etiology of mutism, also the social enxiety is the characteric feature in the area of symptoms and treatment; overall we can see a dominant influence of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. The Czech literature provides a number of different views not only on the definition of mutism, but also on the etiology and symptomatology. The diagnostics and the therapy of mutism is not further elaborated in the Czech literature.

Animal personality structure in offspring
JANDA, Patrik
The aim of this work was to build breeding pairs of Endler's guppy (Poecilia wingei), to determine their characteristic traits ("shy" and "bold"). Then to breed offspring from these pairs, in which the same personality traits were determined using identical procedure. Finally, the composition of personality traits observed in the offspring were evaluated, consequently, compared to their parents, their heritability was calculated. Personality traits were determined using a modified "Open Field" test (test of open environment) combined with the so-called standard emergency test (test for measuring the time required to leave the safe shelter). Based on the measured data individuals were divided into "shy" and "bold". Then they composed "shy", "bold" and combined pairs (a pair of "shy" was composed of two "shy" individuals, a pair of "bold" of two "bold" individuals and a combined pair was composed of one "shy" individual and one "bold " individual). After breeding offspring of these pairs, their personality traits ("shy" and "bold") were determined in a similar way. By evaluating the results, the heritability of these traits was calculated. Moreover, during this experiment, individual preferences and positions in the column of water were also monitored when inserted into an experimental aquarium. I also examined whether it is possible to increase the number of offspring by creating a more active ("bold") pair, a less active ("shy") pair or a combined pair.

Influence of developmental rate on behavioral personality forming
SCHMIDTMAJEROVÁ, Eva
The aim of this thesis was to empirically examine one of the theories regarding the laws of intraspecific variability in animal behavior, which assumes that differences in behavior are directly related to individual differences in the rate of growth. One of our most common rodents, common vole (Microtus arvalis) was chosen as a model species, mainly because lots of previous studies on this species have demonstrated, among other things, presence of consistent differences in behavior.
