Trčová, Lenka ; Pokorná, Jitka (advisor) ; Čechovská, Irena (referee)
Title: Career Efficiency of the Czech junior national teams swimmers in years 1999-2004 Objective of the thesis: The thesis objective is to determine in what measure we deal with the problem of early Czech swimmers specialization nowadays. I want to point out this problem from the view of the Czech junior representatives. I am interested in the lenght of their careers, age of their top performance and if they continue in their careers up to now. I have chosen junior swimmers who built up the Czech national team in years 1999 - 2004 and I follow their careers from the very beginning till the very end. Method: Data collection has been provided by study of the document. Throught the computer analysis of the the collected data has been processed an overview of of the career lenght of Czech junior representatives in swimming. Results: Gained results provide an overview of the career lenght of Czech junior representatives in chosen disciplines. Key words: Competitive swimming, swimmer's career, sport performance, Czech national junior team, top level performance

History of Kupferstich-Kabinett (Collection of Prints, Drawings and Photographs) in Dresden between 1720 and 1780
Plzáková, Lucie ; Zlatohlávek, Martin (advisor) ; Otavský, Karel (referee)
The work describes history and development of Collection of Prints, Drawings and Photographs in Dresden in the years 1720 - 1780. Collection of Prints, Drawings and Photographs in Dresden was established in 1720 by Frederick Augustus I, Elector of Saxony and King of Poland (as Augustus II the Strong). The first director of Collection of Prints, Drawings and Photographs in Dresden Johann Heinrich Heucher bought a large Gottfried Wagner collection of drawings from Leipzig in 1728. Carl Heinrich Heinecken, the second director of Collection of Prints, Drawings and Photographs, cooperated with the art connoisseur and art collector Pierr Mariette from France. Collection of Prints, Drawings and Photographs in Dresden was avaible for the public in the second half of the 18. century. At the end of this work there is supplemented brief catalog of selected Drawings of the Italian masters of the 15th century from Collection of Prints, Drawings and Photographs in Dresden. These Italian drawings were a part of collection in Dresden already also in the years 1720 - 1780. Drawings are descripted and characterized there. Keywords: Dresden, Frederick Augustus I., Collection, Drawing, Italian Master.




Simple Experiments with Naturally Occurring Materials in ChemistryEducation: Support of Empirical Method and Development of Related Competences
Böhmová, Hana ; Martínek, Václav (advisor) ; Smrček, Stanislav (referee) ; Vasileská, Marie (referee)
173 Summary The doctoral thesis is focused on the problem of gaining empirical knowledge in chemistry education, on the acquirement of related competences, and on the activities which would contribute to the improvements in chemistry education in this area. The aims set in the first part of the thesis were fulfilled. I have confirmed the insufficient level of the competences acquirement among the Czech students, such as formulation and verification of a hypothesis, planning and carrying out a simple experiment, interpretation of collected data or drawing conclusions. Main cause of this problem could be insufficient opportunity to develop these competences in school chemistry (or science) education at ground and high school level. Experimental activities of individual students are rare in Czech chemistry lessons. The teachers quote that the main problem responsible for this situation is missing equipment for practical activities in their schools and absence of suitable school experiments reflecting the given safety directives. Considering these findings, I have created a set of simple chemistry experiments utilizing natural products and substances The experiments are suitable for the individual work of students and for chemistry education even at schools without a laboratory or special science classroom....

Individual human odor as a forensic trail in criminal proceeding made by contact or contactless transmission and its resistance to physical agents
Santariová, Milena ; Bartoš, Luděk (advisor) ; Chmelíková, Eva (referee)
The dissertation thesis consists of four papers that have been published in scientific journals. Study n. 1 The need to recover evidence from water is quite common in criminal investigation. The article deals with the possibility to collect human scent from such objects and with the ability of specially trained dogs to match such scent samples with scent samples collected from detained suspects. During an experiment, designed as a blind one, it has been proved, that human scent can survive on submerged objects and can be later used for scent identification. Study n. 2 To collect odors the Czech Republic Police use special fabric sorbents manufactured under the registered mark ARATEX. Before use the fabric sorbent is treated by water vapor sterilization. After the scent identification the sorbent is destroyed. The goal of the study was to verify if the vapor sterilization is effective enough to remove human scent that has already penetrated into the sorbent structure or in other words if the sorbent can be exposed to vapor sterilization and then used again. Specially trained dogs were used to match starting odors with target odors in the line-ups. The results showed that dogs are able to correctly match human odors even after they have being exposed to vapor sterilization. Study n. 3 The purpose of the study was to determine the temperature at which the human scent is degraded so that a dog would not be able to identify it. In contrast to expectations, eight dogs used in the experiment almost flawlessly identified human scents from five scent donors exposed to temperatures of 100°C, 200°C, 300°C, 400°C, 500°C, 600°C, 700°C, and 800°C. Only two of the dogs were able to identify 5 of 15 scent samples exposed to 900°C. No dog identified a scent exposed to 1000°C. Our study verified heat survivability of human scent far beyond existing expectations. Study n. 4 We tested the hypothesis that if odor fallout (the release of a human odor onto an untouched object) in human subjects exists, then holding a hand above an absorbent will produce a detectable scent which will be subsequently matched in a detection test by trained dogs. Scents were collected from seven males to sterile cotton absorbent squares. The left hand was used to get the control scent and the right hand served as the target scent. Each experimental subject was sitting and his left hand was laid down on a cotton square for 3 min. The right hand was held 5 cm above another cotton square for 3 min. The scent identification was done by two specially trained police German shepherds. Both dogs performed 14 line-ups and correctly matched the collected scents of all test subjects. The results suggest the existence of human odor fallout, whereby a human scent trace is left by humans even if they do not touch an object.

Jarolímová, Nikola ; Pešek, Ondřej (advisor) ; Jančík, Jaroslav (referee)
The Bachelor's thesis on the topic of Neuromarketing and analysis of purchase decision process according to special typology of the customer is focused on the use of neuromarketing methods in practice. Neuromarketing is one of the marketing research methods and it represents the combination of neuroscience and marketing. This Bachelor's Thesis aims to analyse the use of neuromarketing methods in marketing communication based on the psychophysiological research which measures responses of respondents and emotional system Limbic. The Thesis is based on certain neuromarketing research output. The data employed in the thesis are collected by participating on a research in a company eMerite, survey and further research made by the author.
