Community Aproach to the People with Mental Health Problems As Alternative to the Institucional Care
Strnadová, Dagmar ; Klimešová, Anna (advisor) ; Sivek, Vojtěch (referee)
In the history the care of people with a mental health problems was going through a lot of changes. Most of the people were accepted as a part of a society. The family and a local community had been taken care of them. Only a small part of people with a mental health problems had been banished or kept in prison. With the beginning of a modern period the people with a mental illness have devoted and segregated in a large extent. The psychiatri and care for disordered people occured rapid developement in 20th century. In the 50's the psychiatric institution had been closing down in a many advanced countries. Institutional care was replaced with a out-patient and comunity care services. The main target of a community care is to help to the people with a mental illness so they can live in a naturally neighbourhood. The Great Britain has ranked among countries with a along tradition of community care. The broad range of services in the domain of living, employment and a leisure time arised here. The attitude to disordered people was also changed. In the Czech republic the community work set up to apply in 90's. Since the time the big progress was reached. Nevertheless the institutional care is still being preferred. The community care concur at traditional community values and it is established on esteem to...

The Role of Gut Microbiota and Lipopolysachaide Content of the Diet in the Development, Maturation and Function of the Immune System
Hrnčíř, Tomáš ; Tlaskalová - Hogenová, Helena (advisor) ; Prokešová, Ludmila (referee) ; Macela, Aleš (referee)
Mammals are essentially born germ-free but the epithelial surfaces are promptly colonized by astounding numbers of bacteria soon after birth. The most extensive microbial community is harboured by the distal intestine. The gut microbiota outnumbers ~10 times the total number of our somatic and germ cells. The hostmicrobiota relationship has evolved to become mutually beneficial. Studies in germfree mice have shown that gut microbiota is essential for the proper development of the immune system. The pivotal role of the innate immune system in the complex and dynamic host-microbiota interactions has become increasingly evident. The principal aims of the present study were: firstly, to determine whether LPS-rich sterile diet can promote maturation of the immune system in germ-free mice, secondly, to elucidate whether gut microbiota and LPS-rich sterile diet influence the LPS susceptibility, and finally, to investigate a role of the adaptive immunity in endotoxin shock. Our data clearly show that both live gut microbiota and LPS-rich sterile diet increase susceptibility to endotoxin shock. Further, we demonstrate that immunodeficient SCID mice, which lack mature B and T cells, are more sensitive to endotoxin shock than immunocompetent Balb/c mice. In addition, we show that not only live gut microbiota but also...

Psychological aspects of identification and its use in forensic context
Molnárová, Monika ; Gillernová, Ilona (advisor) ; Urbanová, Miluše (referee) ; Netík, Karel (referee)
This dissertation thesis is an overview study of recognition of human individuals and its role in forensic identification. It begins with basic structures of identification, meaning and usage of mug books, facial composite identification, and for the most part, recognition. We discuss suitability and feasibility of these methods and base the reasoning on the results of research from other countries. Such methods are undoubtedly affected by eyewitness's identification accuracy and therefore we also focus on factors influencing this. We group the factors by the ones which can and the ones which cannot by affected by law enforcement while we pay a special attention to the variables which are objects of scientific research, such as sequential lineups versus simultaneous lineups, foil selection, age, race, and confidence of the eyewitnesses who are performing the identification. Finally, we include a practical administrator's manual which describes the identification procedure step by step in a greater detail: how to create photo arrays, live lineups, facial composite recognition, and mug books, how to instruct eyewitnesses, and how to supervise the entire lineup procedure up to documenting it. The guide is based on many U.S. manuals and contains standalone recommendations as well as explanations why some...

San Minn (or) An Artist who prefer creating and paintings than his life
Zeya, Pyin Nyar ; JANEČEK, Vít (advisor) ; VOJTĚCHOVSKÝ, Miloš (referee)
No one can control a painter artist’s freely thoughts and ideas and although his paintings were under the high pressure and banned by force, the artistic value of his materials never go down. So that I am writing this paper.
He, San Minn has broken out the mainstream of Burmese painting field, he never made business paintings as well. He keeps his belief on the art of paints and he is always finding for the new way to make his paintings. His materials are very different from other Burmese painter artists’ materials. His style is unique in Burmese paintings. So I can get a chance to study of his style, ideas, ways of thinking and his determination on the art works.
My paper can show a painter artist’s life who grew up under the military rule for 50 years and the situation and history of Burmese painting field. Then not only people who are studying the painting subject, but also other people can know about the subject of Burmese painting and field of artists. I dare say that my paper must be colorful and fruitful.
As a painter artist, it seems that he wants his audience to feel his materials but he rare to show his real life behind the pictures. For me, I can get a chance to know about his real life for my thesis paper.
xxxxxxxxxx
Thesis Statement
My thesis can be useful for everybody who is interested in Burmese contemporary art field.
This is the biggest chance to read about one of the most famous, important and significant artists and art movements of Burma. His paintings are reflecting his journey through over 40 years of censorship, but he was not afraid to tackle political and social issues.
Many of San Minn's art works are based on autobiographical, making sharp social commentary on the popular culture, social values and scenario circumstances where he has lived in.

Jewish New York. Diversity of Jewish immigration waves 1820-1924
Zubková, Katarína ; Šedinová, Jiřina (advisor) ; Ebelová, Ivana (referee)
Jewish New York today is indisputably the center of the Jewish Diaspora. It is the largest and the richest Jewish community outside of Israel. Already since the beginning of the 201 h century it has had the largest urban Jewish population in the world. Nevertheless, Jewish New York is not only vast, but immensely complex as well. Jews were arriving in various historical immigration waves from different places in the world, each one of them preparing the ground for the next wave. The goal of my M.A. thesis called "Jewish New York. Diversity of the Jewish Immigration Waves 1820- 1924", was to identify the waves of Jewish immigrants that were transforming the city of New York and to describe the way they settled in, adapted and lived in New York. The time span is limited to the century of the mass migration starting in 1820 and ending in 1924 after the immigration restriction legislation was adopted. I was inspired by reading Jewish American authors such as I. B. Singer, Bernard Malamud, Philip Roth or J.S. Foer, particularly in specialized seminar conducted by Hana Ulmanova, PhD., at the Department of English and American Studies. The final decision to write about this topic was influenced by the fact that in 2007 I received a one semester scholarship at the Department of Hebrew and Judaic studies at New York...

Freezing technology of bull sperm in relation to its survivability and fertilization ability
Doležalová, Martina ; Stádník, Luděk (advisor) ; Jiří, Jiří (referee)
The aim of optimalization the insemination doses production is to provide the highest fertilization ability of spermatozoa during the demanding proces of processing fresh semen and its subsequent cryopreservation. Temperature changes causes spermatozoa damage during the cooling and freezing. Spermatozoa is exposed to cold shock and many others limiting factors, which leads to cell death and therefore to decline of fertilization ability of thawed insemination doses. For increasing spermatozoa resistance, exactly the plasma membrane resistance against cold shock was fraction of egg yolk LDL cholesterol (low density lipoprotein) at various concentrations into the comercially produced diluents added. It is believed that LDL acts possitively to plasma membrane and helps to maintain the fertilization ability of spermatozoa after thawing. Following step in the proces of insemination doses production is slow cooling of diluted semen and equilibration, when the straws are store at cooling box for 30 minutes to 240 hours. This period is necessary to penetrate of certain diluent components into the spermatazoa also maintain the balance between their intracellular and extracellular concentration. Also important is subsequent freezing temperature gradient of insemination doses. The most suitable freezing method is based on computer controlled temperature decline in freezing chamber which allows the precise control of ice crystals formation that could tear and kill the cell.
During 2012 to 2016 was repeatedly collected semen from the group of breeding bulls (n = 27, Holstein and Czech Fleckvieh breed) at AI centre. Semen which fulfill the standard entrance conditions in first step was evenly into several parts divided. For dilution the three types of comercially diluents AndroMed, Bioxcell and Triladyl with and without LDL addition were used. Into the diluents AndroMed and Bioxcell the concentration of LDL 4 %, 6 % and 8% into the dilent Triladyl 6 %, 8 % and 10 % was added. Diluted semen was filled into the glass capillares with volume 0,1 ml and temperature +4 °C. Subsequently the sample was placed to cold bath (0°C) for 10 minutes. Then the volume of capillare with physiological solution (37 °C) was mixed and for next 120 minutes was incubate. The effect of cold shock to proportion of live spermatozoa was evaluated by using Eosin and Nigrosine staining technique during heat test of spermatozoa survivability after spermatozoa heating and after 120 minutes of incubation.
The more suitable semen diluents which provide the higher spermatozoa resistance against cold shock were AndroMed and Bioxcell. Together the possitive effect of LDL addition into the diluents to lower decrease of proportion of live spermatozoa during heat test was found (P<0.05). The most suitable LDL concentration which had a favorable influence at spermatozoa resistance against cold shock was 6 % in diluent Bioxcell. Values of the proportion of live sperm were higher at the beginning of the heat test (+1.31% to + 3.2%) and after 120 minute incubation (+5.82% to +8.41%) compared to other diluents with and without addition of LDL.
In the next step the process of equilibration was optimized, is an important part of insemination doses production. The effect of the length of equilibration for subsequent fertilization ability of spermatozoa was evaluated using spermatozoa motility based of CASA and proportion of live spermatozoa after thawing and during heat survival test lasting 120 minutes (37 ° C). Suitable semen was diluted by comercially used diluent AndroMed based on soya lecithin, filled into the straws (0.25 ml), cooled and equilibrated in cooling box for 30, 120 and 240 minutes and freezed in programmable freezing box applying four types of freezing curves differing in temperature rate decline. There was used standard and by producer recommended 3. phase freezing curve, then 2. phase freezing curve, and 3. phase freezing curve with slower as well as rapid decline of temperature rate in freezing chamber, compared with standard freezing curve. The highest spermatozoa motility was found using 240 minutes of equilibration by +2.72% and +4.58% compared to other lengths of equilibration (P <0.05 to 0.01). The highest proportion of live spermatozoa was found using 120 minutes of equilibration (+6.87 % and +8.68 %). The highest average spermatozoa motility during heat test after thawing was achieved by using 2. phase freezing curve (from +2.97% to +10.37%, P <0.05), also in the proportion of live spermatozoa (from + 4.37% to +8.82%, P <0.01). When evaluating interaction between the length of equilibration and freezing curve (standard 3. phase and 2 . phase freezing curve), the highest average spermatozoa motility and proportion of live spermatozoa using 240 minutes of equilibration by both freezing curves was reached, there was no statistically significant differences. As well as, in all evaluated parts of this study the individual differences between ejaculate of bulls and within semen from one bull (P <0.05) as secondary effect were found.
To maintain good fertilization ability of semen during cryopreservation is necessary to increase the spermatozoa resistance against cold shock using addition of correct concentration of LDL into the commercially used diluents AndroMed and Bioxcell. Subsequently the fertilization ability of insemination dose is influenced by cooling, the length of equilibration and freezing. The length of equilibration 120 minutes and more as well as gentle way of freezing according to freezing curve, which ensures a gradual decrease of temperature in freezing chamber provided the higher average spermatozoa motility and proportion of live spermatozoa.

The Jan Deyl Conservatory and the Secondary School for the Visually Impaired in Prague: The "Deylak" Subculture as Motivation for the Given Students to Pursue a Music Career
Libánská, Alena ; Jurková, Zuzana (advisor) ; Heřmanský, Martin (referee)
This thesis deals with the Conservatory of Jan Deyl in Prague and its students and absolvents. The Conservatory of Jan Deyl is a Special High School for people with visual handicap and it is the only one of its kind in Czech Republic. The Conservatory leads its students to the future profession as a teacher of music. At times, there is a tendency of absolvents to lose their interests in being a teacher of music and a lot of them tend to choose other professions such as informatics, massages or languages, but not music. Even though there are still some people who stay truth to music teaching, they often end up working in a smaller town. In the beginning of my research I wanted to discover that strange subculture, as an Ethnologist discovers culture of primitive civilizations. A field research took one school year (2006/2007), during which I spend time around the school to discover the environment and to familiarize with blind people and their daily habits. On the basis of observation I came up with my aims and my research question: 'How does Conservatory motivate its students to study music and to become professional musicians in their future lives?' My research is based on participating, observation and interviews with students and absolvents of the Jan Deyl Conservatory. I focused more closely on blind...

The development of the porcelain industry in Karlovy Vary region throughout the 20th century
Beran, Luboš ; Jakubec, Ivan (advisor) ; Szobi, Pavel (referee)
The purpose of this bachelor thesis is to analyse the development of the porcelain industry in Karlovy Vary region throughout the 20th century. Firstly, the theoretical part, the will deal with historic aspect of the porcelain industry, its origin in China, the economic factor, as well as circumstances of its origins in Czech lands, primarily in Karlovy Vary region. The core of the thesis is in the analytical part, where the development of porcelain industry in the 20th century will be presented. In the analytical part author puts an emphasis to the post WWII emigration of German population from Sudetenland and its consequent impact on the porcelain manufacturing, Interestingly enough, porcelain industry was historically located in the area, where lived primarily the German inhabitants. From the collected data regarding the ethnic composition in the first half of the twentieth century it is evident that the population transfer had a negative impact on the whole industry. Furthermore, this thesis portrays the development of the industry in the 20th century, primarily during the period from the end of WWI to the privatization of industry between the years 1992 -- 1994.The thesis concludes that the outflow of German specialists negatively impacted the whole porcelain industry, more specifically in regards to product quality, export to foreign markets and the volume of production.
