Effect of change of toys in playing of pre-school children
FOŘTOVÁ, Marcela
The purpose of this thesis is to describe the influence of change of the common type of toys to natural materials on playing of groups of the three- and four-year-old children. Last but not least, the real necessity of toys for this group is also highlighted in this work. The theoretical part contains the definition and historical development of the playing and toys of pre-school children and the current knowledge about influence of toys upon childrens` playing. Practical experiment was based on replacement of man-made, common toys, with natural material ones for two weeks. The task of this thesis was to monitor reaction of children to the change - their cooperation, creativity and aggression. Observation of this experiment has eventually proved the positive effect of natural materials in all monitored areas.

Interspecific differences in passerine bird ability to distinguish Batesian mimic on the base of previous food experience
CIBULKOVÁ, Alena
Reactions of five passerine predators (Parus major, Parus caeruleus, Erithacus rubecula, Phoenicurus ochruros, Sylvia atricapilla) to artificial Batesian mimic of red firebug (Pyrrhocoris apterus) were studied in the laboratory tests. Effect of previous food experience on the protection level of Batesian mimic was tested in the context of birds? prior diet containing/not containing non-conspicuous form of this mimic.

Stimulating and relaxing effect of apperception music in the context of martial arts
ŠPIČKA, Roman
The work deals with the influence of music on mental and physical manifestations of a personality in the practice of the Taekwon-Do. The theoretical part describes the history and the present of the Taekwon-Do, the basic structure of the music therapy and various effects of music, Taekwon-Do exercises and a relaxation. The practical part compares four groups of probands who practiced or relaxed listening to a music or without any music. My research was focused on the emotional level and the heart rate. I defined four hypotheses: H1 - The average heart rate is higher in probands exercising while listening to a stimulating music than in probands exercising without any musical stimulus., H2 - Average values of the excitations in the emotinal level are higher in probands excercising while listenig to a stimulating music than in probands excercising without any musical stimulus. H3 - The average heart rate is lower in probands relaxing while listening to a calming music than in probands relaxing without any music., H4 - Average values of the calming effect of a relaxing music are higher in probands relaxing listening to the music than in probands relaxing without the music. The research was designed as a quantitative and a comparative study. The anamnestic questionnaire and the metod of direct measurement of the heart rate was used for the data collection. The data were presented in tables and graphs. The results of my research - the differences between the four groups - showed and confirmed all of my hypotheses.

Labour versus fear and anxiety
KOSTKOVÁ, Tereza
This bachelor´s thesis is focused on women´s experience of fear and anxiety during the childbirth. It combines both theoretical and empirical aspects of the topic. The theoretical part summarizes history of midwifery and history of psychoprophylaxis, defines the childbirth, describes physical and mental condition and changes in women during various stages of labour. The following chapter provides general characteristics of fear and anxiety, their signs and consequencies. The next part contains description of reasons, potential manifestations and effects of experiencing fear and anxiety during pregnancy and their possible impact on the childbirth. It is followed by a chapter dealing with prevention of, and solutions to fear and anxiety during the childbirth. The theoretical part also deals with various personalities of women in labour and opportunities to choose between different types of childbirth. The final chapter of the theoretical part summarizes specifics of midwife tasks in the delivery room. The research part of the bachelor´s thesis concentrates on finding out what is the extent of women´s experience of fear and anxiety in labour and what reasons they indicate as reasons of their fear and anxiety. We tried to establish whether there are any dependencies in experiencing the fear and anxiety by women in labour and whether it is possible to assess in advance which women will experience more fear and anxiety in labour. We attempted to identify what can help women in labour to overcome or be relieved of their feeling of fear and anxiety, and thus, whether or not such feeling can be prevented or at least alleviated. We were also detecting how the women in labour get their information of pregnancy and which information they consider the most beneficial. And whether or not their partners´ presence in labour may effect their actual experience.

Emissions of particulate matter in poultry farms
VACOVSKÝ, Miroslav
Among the considerable factors in poultry include climatic conditions, where the breeding takes place. This work focuses on the content of solid particles PM10 and PM2,5 occurring in this environment. These particles can negatively affect the health status of breeding and staff, ensuring the necessary care in poultry farming. Dust particles settle on the skin, where they have an irritant effect or are inhaled into the respiratory tract bodies of birds. These particles are transferred microorganisms causing a variety of diseases. It is therefore desirable to eliminate the amount of such particles to the maximum extent possible.

Analysis of animal mitochondrial genes for DNA barcoding
Brabencová, Klára ; Škutková, Helena (referee) ; Maděránková, Denisa (advisor)
The aim of this work is a literature review on the topic of the mitochondrial genome and DNA barcoding, building a dataset of mitochondrial sequences from GenBank database and creatione of a software function for extraction of individual genes that are present in the mitochondrial genome. This function was developed in Matlab. DNA barcoding is a method that uses short DNA sequence of mitochondrial genome for identification of species. There is no comprehensive work examining the appropriateness of different mitochondrial genes. This aim investigates the potential of other mitochondrial genes and evaluate their effectiveness for DNA barcoding and calculation of intra-and interspecific variability.
