The origins of global imbalances
Brůha, Jan ; Podpiera, Jiří
In this paper writers study the endogenous response of unequally developed regions to a drop in investment and trade costs in a general equilibrium model. The response is characterized by a rise in foreign direct investment in the underdeveloped region and increased consumption in the developed one, leading to trade imbalances between the regions. Writers hereby propose that declining investment and trade costs could have caused this century’s global imbalances.

OPTION TREATMENT HYPERTENSIVE IN ČR AND THEIR INFLUENCE OVER NURSE CARE
HOLAROVÁ, Erika
The diploma paper was prepared on: Alternative treatment of hypertension in the Czech Republic and its impact on nursing care. Hypertension is one of the most common diseases of the cardiovascular system and it is the most frequent cause of morbidity and mortality in the Czech Republic. High blood pressure occurs more and more often nowadays and it is frequently underestimated by patients. Therefore, its treatment as well as its prevention is important. A nurse should be able to guide patients with hypertension along the right path and to advise them, especially in relation to preventive precautions against hypertension origination, but also a nurse should be close during the treatment of high blood pressure using other methods. Two types of interviews were carried out with nurses and patients at the cardiology department of hospital Nemocnice České Budějovice, a.s, at the cardiology department of hospital Na Homolce, a.s. and at the department of internal medicine at hospital Nemocnice Klatovy, o.p.s. In both the interviews, we first focused on the identification data of the nurses and the patients, and then questions were directed at answering our research questions specified in advance. According to the results of the data obtained from the interviews with the nurses and the patients, it was found that there was no difference in the nursing care provided to patients treated pharmacologically and patients with non-pharmacological treatment. The individual variants of hypertension treatment therefore have no impact on nursing care. Research question 1 was: Are there any differences in nursing care between pharmacological hypertension treatment and alternative hypertension treatment? Research question 2 was: Do alternative hypertension treatment methods affect nursing care? Both of these research questions have been answered by the data obtained from the interviews with the nurses as well as with the patients. Research question 3 was: Do patients view alternative hypertension treatment as part of the treatment of this disease? This question was answered by the data obtained from the interviews with the patients. Since the survey found that there are not any differences in the nursing care provided to patients with pharmacological therapy or non-pharmacological treatment, and that alternative hypertension treatment methods have no effect on nursing care, the two groups of patients should be educated properly and checked for high blood pressure. An appropriate recommendation is to organize additional research to the problems of educating patients on regimen precautions during non-pharmacological treatment of arterial hypertension.

The registry in the Bohemia
ČERNÁ, Kateřina
The aim of this thesis is to describe the development of register records in Bohemia by comparing the recent records in registry books with those issuing from the oldest registry books. It also shows the importance of the register records today and in the past, as well as the changes of these specifications and data through out the centuries. The importance of this thesis is to highlight the fact that the records in the registry books were originally determined to be registers of received sacraments arising from the clerical regulations issued by the Roman Catholic Church. The Trident Council instructed to keep registers of christening and marriages. But the implementation into practise of these registers took longer than it was expected. The register agenda in the Czech lands was not uniform until the 18th century. The proper integration of the register agenda was stated after this period on the basis of state regulations. The Roman Catholic Church contributed actively to the origin of keeping such an agenda and was also entitled and entrusted to supervise the register record of all other Churches.

To the ideological content of the Vyšší Brod (Hohenfurth) cycle
Jindra, Petr ; Royt, Jan (referee) ; Hlaváčková, Jana Hana (advisor)
The work deals with iconography and ideological content of the Vyšší Brod (Hohenfurth) cycle (about 1350), which is one of the most important works of Czech medieval panel painting. The set of nine panels showing the life of Christ (the Annunciation / the Nativity / the Adoration of Magi / Christ on the Mount of Olives / the Crucifixion / the Lamentation / the Resurrection / the Ascension and the Pentecost) was since its discovery in the Cistercian Monastery in Vyšší Brod (Hohenfurth) in south Bohemia associated with Cistercian milieu. Except the place, where the cycle was found, this thesis is supported also by portrait of donator in the Nativity panel with coat of arms of Rožmberk's family, founders of the cloister. According to the opinion of the most of scholars since sixties (see CIBULKA 1963, PEŠINA 1982), these nine panels was originally organized in square retable of the main altar in the cloister church, with three rows of three panels starting with Annunciation at the bottom left and ending with the Pentecost at the top right. During eighties and nineties some scholars came with another idea of the original function and setting. It was suggested that the set of the nine tables was designed as frieze for a choir screen in the monastery church or for the monk's choir stalls (see HLAVÁČKOVÁ 1998a,...

John Anthony Quitainer (1709-1765)
Petříková, Eva ; Royt, Jan (referee) ; Horyna, Martin (advisor)
John Anthony Quitainer (1709-1765), a significant representative of the Prague sculptors who were producing their work after the year 1730, exerted a profound effect on the style development of the late Baroque plastics in Bohemia. He was born in Prague in 1709, in a family of a sculptor, Ondřej Filip Quitainer, who originally came from Frýdlant and later settled in Prague's Lesser Town where he founded a sculptor studio. In 1718 he acquired the Lesser Town burgher-ship. John Anthony served his time of apprenticeship in his father's workshop. At the age of fourteen he participated in the process of decorating the interior of Černínský Palace. When his father died in 1729, John Anthony took over the workshop, the ownership of which he first shared with his step mother, Maria Teresia Quitainer. In the first half of the 18th century, John Anthony Quitainer became one of the most sought after sculptors in Prague. The majority of orders he accepted came dominantly from holy orders. He had decorated the interiors of monastery churches for Augustinians, Carmelitans and Dominicanes. The most important order, nonetheless, came from the Premonstrate order at the Strahov Monastery. There he created a unique and monumental sculpture collection, among which we can find carved decorations and stone sculptures, situated...

Analysis of farnesylated peptides and proteins using LC-MS
Hessler, Filip ; Kovaříková, Petra (referee) ; Waisser, Karel (advisor)
Farnesylated proteins are important in transduction of signals in cell and therefore can figure in development of many diseases, mainly cancer. Electrospray mass spectrometry is a widely used method in analysis of peptides and proteins, thus it was chosen as a method to develop a simple way to detect farnesylated proteins in cell. A cleavage pattern of these proteins, when subjected to MS/MS, was found on examples of synthetically farnesylated simple peptides and bovine albumin. Distinctive features of MS/MS spectra of these peptides are two peaks, which both represent the virgin peptide fragment after the farnesyl moiety was cleaved off. These fragments have a different charge, because they originate from different type of cleavage. Homological cleavage of the bond between the farnesyl and sulfur leads to formation of a new charge on the peptide fragment, while the leaving farnesyl is also charged and has amu of 205. Second type of fragment rises from neutral loss of farnesyl moiety, there is no new charge generated on the peptide fragment and the amu of the leaving farnesyl moiety is 204, because it looses one of its hydrogen in favor of the peptide. This knowledge can be applied also to more complicated protein samples prepared from cells. When searching for farnesylated proteins in such a...

The Cispadane Boi and the problem of the origin of the oppida in the Central Europe
Kysela, Jan ; Bouzek, Jan (referee) ; Salač, Vladimír (advisor)
This thesis is the question of origin zaalpských2 late laténských oppida or one more argument, developed in response to this question. This theory, situated oppida central source of inspiration in northern Italy in populated Celtic Fighting strain found among Czech researchers a response: become an essential building block model that was developed for the creation oppida in Bohemia and who can despite some objections that have been vysloveny3 against him with some exaggeration, the official Czech position on the issue of Archaeology. I do not share the thought template on the basis of this theory was developed, and yet (and thus more likely) I find it interesting look again free from the interpetaačního key to verify its individual components and arguments, ask how much evidence they are on their own, how much of each other package and how it is supporting as a whole.
