Physiotherapy in radicular syndromes of lower limbs
TATEROVÁ, Tereza
The subject of the baccalaureate thesis is radicular syndromes physiotherapy at lower extremities. It is a disorder that forms because of spinal radix comression and it happens for different reasons. The disorder has a typical localization of clinical symptoms according to the affected nerve radix. Dorsodynia and shooting pain into accessory limb that relates to hypokinesia is typical. The objective of the first part of thesis was to make an educational material about problems around radicular syndromes at lower extremities. In the theoretical part, information from the anatomy area, epidemiology and disorder etiology are presented, also clinical symptoms, examination procedures and possibilities of therapy, especially physiotherapy are included. The aim of the research part was to evaluate the effects of therapy from the view of the subjective patient's feelings. The survey mainly includes changes of hurtfulness, agility and sensation after the completion of therapy. In the applied part of the thesis a qualitative research strategy is used. As for the factual techniques, observation, discussion, special examination methods and, secondarily, data analysis, were used. The research took place at ambulatory physiotherapy ward at Milevsko health centre. In the file, there are results of two patients who were tested and the results are processed in the form of semiographies. They include clinical history, entry kinesiology analysis, therapy description, output kinesiology analysis and concluding assessment. At both cases both patients felt the pain reduced, agility was better and they were instructed. The thesis can be used as a source of information for general public and for other students.

Do women with children have lower wage rate than childless women?
Lukášová, Nikola ; Brožová, Dagmar (advisor) ; Čermáková, Klára (referee)
The aim of the thesis is to demonstrate if women with children in the Czech Republic have a lower wage rate than childless women. The data from WageIndicator Foundation was processed by using the the least squares method. The conclusion is that motherhood has a negative impact on salaries. I also found that the depreciation of human capital influences only women with two or more children. It can be caused by the lenght of maternity leave. The main finding is that the wage penalty for motherhood actually exists. And the society and politicians should give the motherhood penalty more attention in the future.

Stress-strain analysis of lower limb prosthetic
Musilová, Kateřina ; Fuis, Vladimír (referee) ; Návrat, Tomáš (advisor)
This master thesis deals with lower-limb prosthesis. The aim of the first part of this work is stress-strain analysis of trans-tibial prosthesis, which is understand without prosthetic socket and the foam prosthetic feet. Analysis is made using finite element method in ANSYS Workbench 12.0 software. For the purpose of setting up the computational model it is necessary to make few partial models. Model of geometry of the prosthesis is made in SolidWorks 2009. Based on the outputs of stress-strain analysis and the results evaluation, the critical component is chosen and this one is evaluated according to limite state for fatigue. The algorithm of evaluation of named component in the state of high cycle fatigue is discussed in the second part of this thesis.

The tax system reduces motivation to return to work among mothers with young children: recommendations and evaluation
Šatava, Jiří
In the Czech Republic, the overall taxation of work, i.e individuals' income tax together with social security and health insurance contributions, places a heavy burden even on the relatively low earnings of so-called second earners in households, i.e. partners with lower earnings. These peoples' work activity is, however, generally very sensitive to the level of taxation. A large group of these earners is made up of mothers with young children. Mothers who are the second earner in their household are subject to a participation tax rate (PTR) up to 30 % higher than their partners, and yet a higher PTR results in lower motivation to work. Women with children and low earning potential are subjected to the highest PTRs in comparison with their partners.

Clinical and elektrophysiology longitudinal study of children with hereditary neurophathy Charlot-Marie-Tooth type 1A
Haberlová, Jana ; Seeman, Pavel (advisor) ; Syka, Josef (referee) ; Ambler, Zdeněk (referee) ; Vondráček, Petr (referee)
Hereditary peripheral neuropathy, known asCharcot Marie Tooth disease (CMT) and with an incidence of 1:2500 -1:10 000, is the most common hereditary neuromuscular disorder. Type CMT 1A is the most common form of CMT refering to the group of primary demyelinitateing motor and sensory peripheral neuropathies. CMT phenotype is clinically characterized by chronic slowly progressive distal muscle weakness and atrophy with hypo or areflexia and mild to moderate acral sensory loss. The lower limbs are predominantly affected. The aims of this study were to describe the first and most common signs of CMT1A during the first decade of life, to characterize their progression, and evaluate the sensitivity of CMTNS (Charcot-Marie- Tooth neuropath scale) for CMT1A young children. Sixteen children aged 3 to 10 years with genetically proven CMT 1A were examined. All patients were clinically examined, underwent electrophysiological examination, and were scored by CMTNS. Eight were followed for up to two years. Our data shows that CMT 1A in children under the age of 10 years causes only a mild disability. Initial signs of CMT 1A were difficulty in heel walking (15/16, 93%) and lower limb hypo or areflexia ( 13/16, 81%). The test of heel walking can be easily used as a screening test for hereditary neuropathies in pediatrics....

Lower limb prosthetics FEM analysis
Omasta, Milan ; Náhlík, Luboš (referee) ; Paloušek, David (advisor)
This masters´s thesis deals with computational modeling of transtibial lower-limb prosthesis. For assesment of loading character and geometrical configuration, the gait analysis of an amputee, including ground reaction force measurement, strain gauge analysis and motion analysis, was accomplished. Information on geometry was obtained using 3D optical scanning procedure. Material model was gathered using non-destructive mechanical testing and mimicked in a FEA software. For loading conditions the static structure analysys using FEM was accomplished. The critical poins in construction was found. Recognition of agreement about experimental and computational model was accomplished.

The Use of Dramatic Instruction in Nursery Schools for Children with Lower Socialization Skills
Kohoutová, Veronika ; Provazník, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Gregorová, Vlasta (referee)
Tato diplomová práce se zabývá problematikou socializace předškolního dítěte a vlivem dramatické výchovy na tuto problematiku. Teoretická část se zabývá především socializačním procesem a aspekty, které mohou ovlivňovat vývoj dítěte v období předškolního věku. V praktické části je toto téma přeneseno do konkrétní roviny práce v mateřské škole. Z předpokladů i realizace praktické části vyplývá, že dramatická výchova v kontextu socializace dítěte předškolního věku je často účinným prostředkem zlepšení tohoto procesu. K dosažení uspokojivých výsledků je však důležitá spolupráce všech, kteří se tohoto procesu účastní. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Model Ecosystems in a School Garden and Their Use in the Teaching of Botany in the Lower Grades of Primary School
Jiříčková, Anna ; Skýbová, Jana (advisor) ; Pavlasová, Lenka (referee)
The idea of teaching pupils directly in the natural environment is not new at all. Similar ideas were already promoted by the famous Czech educator Jan Amos Komensky in the 17th century. But at his time, it was much easier to realize them. Nowadays, many city schools (and not only them) are situated far away from any kind of green. Then, it is quite demanding to reach a nice place where to spend a lesson of botany observing nature and learning to understand it. That is why using schoolgardens for purposes of learning in the natural environment seems to be quite reasonable - especially when the gardens are enriched by some models of ecosystems, that are typical for Czech landscape. Learning in such a type of garden is thought to have a very positive effect on pupils. It is believed to stop the process of children loosing contact with real nature and to help pupils develope a tight relation to it, which is very improtant for their environmental thinking. It is also absolutely sure, that active learning by manipulating real things and getting familiar with them by using all five senses makes the learning process efficient.
