Vliv polynenasycených mastných kyselin na zastoupení mastných kyselin ve tkáních a hladinu cholesterolu u potkanů
Kácalová, Tereza
The aim of this work was demonstrate positive effect of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids EPA and DHA on the concentration of plasma triglycerides and cholesterol. According to the hypothesis, these polyunsaturated fatty acids are capable of reducing plasma cho-lesterol in mechanism, where is increased gene expression Insig-1 and simultaneously reduces the expression of genes encoding an enzyme for cholesterol synthesis (3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase, a gene for HMG-CoA-R) and the gene for the LDL receptor, which is responsible for the entry of cholesterol from the plasma into the cells (low density lipoprotein receptor, the density, the LDL-R gene). LDL-R.The experiment was conducted on a model animal (Rattus norvegicus) fed with a standard feed mixture with the addition of 3% of salmon oil, fish oil 6% and 6% of oil from algae of the genus Schizochytrium. The control group was fed a feed mixture with the addition of 6% safflower oil, food with the addition of 3% palm oil was used as a negative control. Each group consisted of 10 animals. From the blood samples was determined levels of total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and triglycerides. The fatty acid content was determined in muscle, liver and adipose tissue. Food enriched with eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid led to a reduction in total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol levels. It was shown (P <0.05) after the addition of fish oil, salmon oil and algae of the genus Schizochytrium oil to feed mixtures of experimental rats, a decrease in total cholesterol (27%, 21%, 27% respectively) relative to controls. Our attempt partially confirmed the hypothesis. At the same time, we found that plasma lipid metabolism affects different mechanism than we thought.

Sociology of Food - Vegetarianism as a Specific Phenomen
LAPEŠOVÁ, Miroslava
The Diploma Thesis "Sociology of Food - Vegetarianism as a Specific Phenomenon" consists of a theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part aims at the basic information relating to the sociology of food and the lifestyle. The consequent chapters deal with vegetarianism. The practical part brings the presentation of the results reached. The primary data collection utilized the quantitative research, the questioning method and the questionnaire technique. The questionnaire was distributed, in particular, via the Internet, in collaboration with the discussion forums of healthy diet and the vegetarianism forums. Also, within the Yoga system, in a daily life it was spread into all the Yoga Centres in the Czech Republic. Furthermore, the questionnaire was spread in the healthy diet shops and in the healthy canteen in České Budějovice. The research set was made up by vegetarians from all over the Czech Republic regardless of age, sex or any other criteria. In total 421 questionnaires were returned to be utilized for the research, however, 74 of them could not be used at all due to the incorrect or insufficient data completion or illegibility. Thus the research utilized 347 questionnaires, i.e. 82.4 %. The aim of the Diploma Thesis was to ascertain how the phenomenon of nourishment influences the lifestyle of a vegetarian. Consequently, other two goals were set. Partial goal 1: Monitoring of vegetarianism within the Czech Republic from the point of view of vegetarians. Partial goal 2: Description of contemporary trends within vegetarian nourishment. Evaluation of positives and negatives of such nourishment. I assume the goals of the Thesis have been fulfilled. In connection with the goal of the Thesis the hypothesis arose: Vegetarianism as the choice of nourishment is simultaneously a choice of a specific lifestyle (e.g. the style of housing, leisure time, so-called life philosophy, etc.). This hypothesis was acknowledged from the results ascertained. The Diploma Thesis results can serve for the further research and a wider exploration of this field. Furthermore, they will utilised for the needs of the vegetarian centres and, thanks to the scope of the research set, they can be intended to be published in professional periodicals.

The simultaneity of the incompossible as the index of the vertical being in the philosophy of M. Merleau-Ponty
Halák, Jan ; Čapek, Jakub (advisor) ; Rodrigo, Pierre (referee) ; Fulka, Josef (referee)
RÉSUMÉ EN ANGLAIS / ENGLISH SUMMARY : The Simultaneity of the Incompossible as the Index of the Vertical Being in the Philosophy of M. Merleau-Ponty The principal field of investigation of this paper is the late philosophy of Maurice Merleau-Ponty in the form the author gave it in his lectures during the nineteen-fifties and in the project of The Visible and the Invisible. More accurately, the goal is to clarify the relationship between what this author calls "vertical" Being and the aspect of reciprocal exclusivity, or incompossibility, of the segments of the field through which we have access to it. This structural characteristic is studied principally on the levels of the perception, our relationships with the others, the language and other human institutions. First, the author of the paper elucidates what he think is the reference point of this ontological philosophy, that is to say the concept of visibility. By means of an interpretation of the three fundamental structures of the visibility, the visible, the invisible, and the vision (voyant), the author demonstrates the profound ontological unity of the element of the visibility. The concept of the "institution" (Stiftung, institution) is then introduced to demonstrate how the field of the visibility is internally organized in a manner that surpasses...

School Social Worker-Elementary School Director's Attitude
FENIGBAUEROVÁ, Nela
This bachelor thesis is focused on school social work. Besides the theoretical pieces of knowledge it also describes perception of this field in social work by south Bohemian schools headmasters. The school social work is widespread all over the world. The social workers offer wide service scale to schools. Between these services belongs for example skills practice, individual consultancy which is suitable also for group or family, crisis intervention, visitations in students houses, education support, support of parents as well as advocacy for students and families (Allen-Meares a kol., 2013). In year 2006 school social work celebrates its hundred years as separate profession. Simultaneously with the development there were thought many ways how to practise it, which were also called school social work models (Mizrahi and Davis, 2008). However, not every time there was spoken about school social work or social work in schools. From the very beginning was the function of social workers or "visiting teachers" mainly to check school attendance out (Allen-Meares, 2000). School social work is realized in four models, these are described in books of many authors for example Slovak writer Skyba (2015), Allen-Meares (2000, 2013), Mizrahi and Davis (2008) or also Tokárová and Matulayová (2013). Despite very interesting and rich history of school social work worldwide, this branch is not used a much in our Republic(Skyba, 2015). The goal of this thesis was to find out which attitudes have the chosen primary schools headmasters to posture of school social worker. For finding out there were determined the three explorative questions. The first one was how the headmasters perceive the school social work? The second question was how the headmasters imagine the competence of school social workers? The third one was what opinion the headmasters have of expected development of school social work in the Czech Republic? The point of this work was to find out and demonstrate how much the headmasters are informed about school social work area. For the research there was applied qualitative research strategy, the questioning method and half-controlled conversation technique. The selective file was constituted by eighteen primary school´s headmasters in South Bohemia. Next criterion was the choice of only one primary school from given town. The primary schools always included grades from the first to the ninth. The data we got were analyzed with using of tuft creation method. The schools were divided into several groups according to number of students who attended them. On the other hand we find out that opinions and answers of headmasters are not dependent on the number of students who attend the schools. The first group of questions which were related to knowledge of schools social work showed that eleven from eighteen informants heard about school social work. It is positive finding of course. However, their knowledge was only of peripheral importance. Not anybody of headmasters gives the sources from which they came to know about school social work. The second group described the headmaster´s imagination about work competence. It showed that the overwhelming majority considers as the main work competence the cooperation with students from socially disadvantaged surroundings as well as the work with families. The third group of questions referred to necessity and future development. Fourteen from eighteen headmasters consider this area of school social work as needed and they perceive it important for school. That is favourable for future development as well as for raise awareness of school social worker´s profession. In major answers also was heard that school social work will develop in our country. This bachelor thesis and pieces of knowledge written in it may be used as information source for school workers as well as for the non-professional public.

Semantic and pragmatic aspects of the prosodic component of the message in simultaneous interpretation
Marešová, Julie ; Sládková, Miroslava (referee) ; Čeňková, Ivana (advisor)
Julie Marešová, Semantic and Pragmatic Aspects of the Prosodic Component of the Message in Simultaneous Interpreting, Institute of Translation Studies, Faculty of Arts and Philosophy, Charles University, Prague, 2009 The thesis focuses on the prosodic component of the message in SI from the point of view of the speech listener, the interpreter and the interpretation listener. First we described the general function of prosody and its role in SI. We mentioned Gile's Effort model which is closely related to the prosody of source speech. We also considered the interpretation quality assessment from the point of view of the final client. The empirical part is focused on the way the prosodic character of the source speech influences the interpreter's work and whether the same influence can be seen in the client's assessment of the interpretation. Using computer analysis (computer programme PRAAT) and retrospective questionnaires we have found out that the interpreters are completely aware of the source speech prosody. If the prosody is unnatural or inadequate it raises the demands on concentration and understanding and makes interpretation more difficult. We did not confirm the hypothesis that source speech prosody is reflected during SI in the same way. There was a large diversity in the assessments by the...
