Kubečková, Jana ; Kupková, Lucie (advisor) ; Štych, Přemysl (referee)
Evaluation of suburbanization in Prague's hinterland - influence on landuse, landscape stability and structure Abstract The aim of this study is to evaluate the background of suburbanization in Prague, to evaluate the development of landscape, landscape structure and landuse. The first part of this work is devoted to analysis of domestic and foreign literature, which deals with suburbanization and evaluation of landscape structure. Another part is devoted to practical evaluation of the landscape using air photos and satelite pictures and orthophotos in three cadastral in 1994, 2004 and 2007. It concerns the cadastral Šeberov, Hole u Průhonic and Újezd. The evaluations are based on selected factors. It is found that the proportion of buildings and vegetations is increasing all the time and also found that for example scrub and forests were protected from new development. Furthermore, the most significant changes in land use were described and the landscape structure was evaluated according to selected factors. The outputs of this work were maps of land use in different years, maps of stable und unstable areas in different periods, maps of vegetation changes and tables summarizing the results of the evaluation parameters of the structure. Keywords: suburbanization, landscape structure, landuse, patch,...

The impacts of inappropriate footwear and physiotherapy strategies to correct selected disorders
MALÍNSKÁ, Veronika
The thesis consists of practical and theoretical part. The theoretical part focuses on the fundamental information on foot anatomy, kinesiology and the examination of walking process. In this part I have also included the negative effects of footwear and the description of apparatus I have worked with during the practical part of my work. I have determined two goals for my thesis. First goal is to search out possibilities of suitable physiotherapy for patients suffering from inappropriate footwear. Second goal is to suggest a training unit and create educational materials for these patients. In my research I have selected a group of five females aged 22 to 25 years, who are used to wear different kinds of footwear (common shoes, high heels, orthopaedic shoes, barefoot shoes, no shoes at all, etc.). I have design the therapeutic plan in a way the group sessions differentiate from each other in order to have more variety of exercises for the patients to choose from after the end of the therapy session. For home workout I have selected set of eight exercises, each to be done twenty times with three such sets per day. One set takes up about 5 to 10 minutes. My findings conclude that the exercises have positive effect on walking, body stability and weight distribution between feet. There was a significant improvement of walking kinesiology with proper forward rolling onto the ball of foot and big toe push off during the propulsive phase. The improvement occurred especially with high heels, orthopaedic shoes and common shoes. When checking out, patients had better weight distribution between feet, toes were more spread, all toes had contact with the floor ant there was also one case of partial flat feet improvement. The results of my work may be valuable for other physiotherapist in their clinical practice or for educational purposes. There is a leaflet attached that can be used as an educational material for patients, public or for parents of children for whom the proper development of foot is essential.

Shoes and its effect on the foot and posture
KRÁSNÁ, Jana
This thesis in focused on the influence of footwear not only directly on the foot and its sole but also on the posture and body as a whole. The foot is firstly the organ that enables movement of the locomotive system but which also provides direct contact with the surroundings and the way of getting information about it through proprioception. The foot also enables "keeping" to the ground we move on. It is connected through the muscle system with the levels above and so mutual influence of all body segments is established. The posture of lumbar spine, the function of the diaphragm, posture of the cervical spine and of the shoulder joints are the most important. Due to the fact that we spend two thirds of the day, or 16 hours a day, wearing shoes, their influence cannot be insignificant. Most types of shoes hinder the above mentioned functions of the feet through their faulty construction and their influence can be described more as that of a splint. Wearing some shoes can bring completely unnatural or even pathological foot posture which through the muscle systems further influences faulty posture of higher body segments. Data for this research were obtained using qualitative research with 12 students of the University of South Bohemia participating. The research group was divided into three categories by the type of worn footwear (naked, sport and healed footwear respectively). Subjective examination of the standing posture as well as examination using a lead was conducted. The walking gait was examined first barefoot, then in normal wear and finally on narrowed base. Finally the examination of the foot was performed where activity and function was tested using the Véle method, further the toe abduction and the grip tests. The aim of this research was to map the influences of wearing the different types of shoes on the body as a whole. The results show that a foot capable of full activity and function is closely connected to the correct activity of the diaphragm. On the contrary, with pathological function of the foot the function of the higher body segments will be influenced negatively. The foot is therefore concluded to play a major role in the function of the locomotive system and should always be taken into account in physiotherapy.
