Autochthonous Musculature and its effect on Scoliotic Hold
VRÁNOVÁ, Barbora
This bachelor thesis deals with the influence of autochthonous musculature on scoliotic posture. The term autochthonous musculature means the deepest layer of back muscles situated along the spine. Autochthonous musculature is one of the components of the spine stabilization system. Together with the diaphragm, the transverse abdominal muscle and with the pelvic floor muscles it supports particularly the lumbar spine. The function of the autochthonous musculature is to set correct mutual position of two adjacent vertebrae and thus prevent the spine from incorrect loading. Its dysfunction may lead to scoliotic body posture. The thesis consists of a theoretical and a practical parts. The theoretical part explains the term autochthonous musculature and scoliotic posture. It also contains tests examining autochthonous musculature and selected conceptions and methods of its activation. The aim of the thesis was to elaborate case studies of patients with scoliotic body posture and to compare their condition in the input and the output examination before and after proposed and applied kinesiotherapy, to map the concrete influence of autochthonous musculature weight training on scoliotic posture of the monitored patients. Research questions were based on the aims: whether better position of the spine axis could be observed in the patients and whether autochthonous musculature weight training had positive impact on scoliotic posture. The practical part was based on qualitative research method. Data collection was performed by means of elaboration of case studies using the methods of interview, observation and kinesiological analysis. The case studies include the anamnesis taken, the input and output kinesiological analysis, a short-term therapy plan, description of the therapy course and a long-term therapy plan. The research sample consisted of four probands of different age. All the patients suffer from scoliotic body posture. The therapy lasted 10 weeks. Slight improvement of scoliotic body posture was achieved during the applied therapies by activation of the deep stabilization system of the spine, not only the autochthonous musculature. The deep stabilization system always works as a whole and activation just one of its components is impossible. This is why we cannot say that autochthonous musculature has positive influence on scoliotic posture. The results however show that the posture can be improved by activation of the deep stabilization system of the spine.

Globalization - Challenge for France, Challenge by France
Pospíšil, Miroslav ; Perottino, Michel (advisor) ; Matějka, Ondřej (referee)
The diploma thesis - Globalization challenge for France, challenge by France, analysis the singular report of this Western European state to the dynamics of globalization. Globalization understood as a multidimensional process of increased interdependence among states in particular through the movements of finance, goods and ideas, has taken in the French public debates a considerable place. By analyzing the challenges of a liberal approach in the dominant logic of the global economy, this work identifies the main reasons of what might be described as a French resistance to globalization. Continuing with the field of culture and politics, the diploma thesis analyzes the reactions that this phenomenon raises in France. While a challenge to France, globalization is also a challenge by France. Thanks to an Universalist tradition, France is proposing, through its international commitment, to address some adverse effects of this process. Especially, through its position within the European Union and the United Nations, as well as for example through funding for Public development assistance, France has proposed a multilateral approach for a mastered globalization. Thus, what we call mastered globalization appears as an Ideological posture of the French Foreign Policy, which advocates a model of globalization...

The effectiveness of welding on furnace structures.
Rousová, Michaela ; Mrňa, Libor (referee) ; Kubíček, Jaroslav (advisor)
This diploma thesis is resolving all the possibilities of enhancing the efficiency of furnace structures welding. Small batch production does not offer many possibilities for implementing mechanization or automation. On the other hand, when using a big batch production, efficiency can be enhanced by means of a robotic workstation. When the production batch is big enough, we will see a costs save after a short time, mainly in labor costs. This means the return of investments will be in short time period. In the LAC company there are three types of products made. At laboratory furnaces the efficiency can be enhance by using fixtures. At other standard and atypical furnaces is very difficult to design fixtures or positioners because of their different sizes. Big complication can be also a company location on second floor. The most suitable product regarding to welding efficiency enhancement is big batch production of heaters. For this type the welding time can be shortened by means of a robotic workstation.

Effect of cryopreservation on mouse sperm.
Veselá, Kateřina ; Pěknicová, Jana (referee) ; Hortová, Kateřina (advisor)
Cryopreservation or freezing of sperm in the reproductive biology is still actual topic. Today is the only method used for sperm storage, whether for the purposes of assisted reproduction, or for scientific purposes. However, this method has a negative impact on such stored cells and is therefore still a subject of many studies. Among the main causes of sperm damage in rodents there are inappropriately selected cryoprotective agents, poor or no elimination of oxidative stress generated during cryopreservation, as well as a poorly chosen speed and temperature of freezing. Correctly chosen procedures and the composition of the media in which sperm are stored, can significantly affect the quality of sperm. This bachelor theses focuses on the influence of cryopreservation on mouse spermatozoa. The main impact of this method includes the effect of freezing on sperm DNA, plasma membrane, acrosome, and sperm motility.

Influence of sensomotoric stimulation on flat foot in preschool-aged children
Řehůřková, Markéta ; Nováková, Tereza (advisor) ; Maršáková, Kateřina (referee)
Title: The effect of sensomotoric stimulation on flat foot of children Introduction: Flat foot is a common health problem in childhood. Its development is related to congenital or acquired dysfunction of the plantar vault. There is no single opinion on the criteria for diagnosis and therapy forms. The aftereffects and health risks of flat foot are often neglected. The therapy form of sensomotoric stimulation, including balance exercises and walking barefoot over different surfaces, could be an appropriate part of the physical activities and games for children in kindergarten. Objectives: The main objective of this thesis was to compare foot prints of a group of children from one kindergarten class before and after six months of sensomotoric stimulation by three different methods (the Chippaux-Šmiřák method, the Godunov-Sztriter method and the Mayer method.). The second objective was to determine at what age category will be the highest prevalence of flat feet and also at what age group is the biggest improvement of the foot arch. The third objective was to compare each other method and determine whether the results will match. Hypothesis 1: After six months of sensomotoric stimulation of the feet of children occurs in the majority of feet of probands the improvement of the longitudinal foot arch...

Influence of intra-abdominal pressure on stability of the lumbar spine
Fridrychová, Dagmar ; Šorfová, Monika (advisor) ; Nováková, Tereza (referee)
Title of thesis: Influence of intra-abdominal pressure on the stability of the lumbar spine Definition of the problem: This thesis addresses the problem of the stabilization mechanism of the lumbar spine and the influence of intra-abdominal pressure on the stability of the lumbar spine. Objectives: The aim of my thesis is to locate, evaluate and process all available resources and to bring up the issue of IAP and its influence on the lumbar spine. The work should provide the widest possible insight into the problems of IAP effects on the stability of the lumbar spine, summarize differing opinions, and allow easier orientation in the isme. Method: The work is treated as a search, focusing on the processing and retrieval of literature concerning the issue. Studies included range from 1953 to present. To which I will use a variety of sources of literature, internet and consultation with the head of my thesis. Results: The increase in IAP, which is provided by a synchronous contraction of the diaphragm, pelvic floor muscles and m. transversus abdominis, can effectively stabilize the spine. But you can not determine with certainty whether this mechanism to support the stability of the lumbar spine is indeed used or the stability is provided by contraction of muscles, leading to an increase in IAP, and...

Optimalisation of insulin treatment - continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion
Jankovec, Zdeněk ; Rušavý, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Jirkovská, Alexandra (referee) ; Vondra, Karel (referee) ; Prázný, Martin (referee)
Introduction: To be able to prove the efficiency and benefit of the treatment including its safety on a wide range of patients (as opposed to more or less strictly selected groups form clinical studies), we started to gather data about patients in the Czech register of patients treated with continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) - further referred to as Register. The obtained data not only represent an effective feedback on our clinical practice and treatment, but also they serve as an important argument for promotion of the CSII efficacy during the negotiations of reimbursement from the health insurance system (the CSII treatment is significantly more expensive compared to other MDI regimens). Aim of study: The aim of the first study were to present data on current situation and treatment results of CSII on wide unselected population of patients with diabetes mellitus in the Czech Republic. In the second study patients were evaluated to compare treatment indication, efficacy and safety with specific regard to the type of diabetes. Patient and methods: The national register of patients treated with CSII exists in the Czech Republic since 1998. We gather data from 52 departments of diabetology in the Czech Republic from patients with diabetes of all types treated with CSII. The data were...

Nephropathy and tumour development caused by plant alkaloids aristolochic acid
Bárta, František ; Šácha, Pavel (referee) ; Stiborová, Marie (advisor)
Aristolochic acids (AA) are alkaloids contained in plant species of the family Aristolochiaceae. These plants are used since antiquity in traditional medicine to treatment of many varied diseases. There are known anti-inflammatory effects of these compounds, however these alkaloids exhibit mutagenic and carcinogenic properties. Despite of this fact, plant extracts AA are still used in traditional medicine, e.g. in China, India, Taiwan. Aristolochic acids are proven to be the cause of disease designated Aristolochic Acid Nephropathy (AAN, theretofore known as Chinese Herbs Nephropathy (CHN). This unusual nephropathy leads to a total renal failure. The late complication of this disease is the development of tumours in urothelial tissue of patients. AA can form persistent stable covalent DNA adducts. Formation of these DNA adducts lead to AT→TA transversion, the unique mutation in tumour suppressor gene p53 responsible for tumour formation. Balkan Endemic Nephropathy (BEN) is associated with AA, too. In this instance is supported also influence of another factors, e.g. mycotoxins (ochratoxin A). However, in all probability AA contribute to a development of this disease particularly. This hypothesis is supported by finding of AA-DNA adducts in tissues of patients suffering from AAN and BEN and that of...
