Surface relief evolution in cast superalloy In738LC fatigued at room temperature
Samek, Petr ; Obrtlík, Karel (referee) ; Juliš, Martin (advisor)
Low cycle fatigue is an important valving parameter of materiale which are exposed random alternate strain during their operation. The alternate strain in that material is caused by temperature fluctuations during operation and outages such as aircraft engines. Tests of low cycle fatigue were performed on samples of superalloy Inconel 738LC at stable room temperature at 23°C. The actual experiment took place at certain intervals, consisting of cycling itself, and observing changes in surface relief by light and electron microscopy. There was observed significant surface relief at an early stage of low cycle fatigue. We compared results of measurement with other different observation methods.

The role of nurse in recognition of the early stages of dementia
VELÁTOVÁ, Jana
The aim of this work was to find out whether the nurses working in the rooms of G.P. for adults can recognize signals of early stages of clients´ dementia, whether the nurses purposefully aim their effort to recognise the signals and whether the elderly people themselves are interested in such interventions. The group to be investigated was made up of a group of nurses from the G.P. rooms in the Tabor District and a group of elderly people at the age of 65 and over from the Tabor District as well. The investigation was made through quantitative research, questions; structured questions were used for the collection of data. The reason to do this work was to draw the attention to the nurses having broad possibilities to recognize the early stages of this disorder and to influence the fate of a lot of patients. The findings did not confirm the hypothesis that the nurses working in the G.P. rooms do not have possibilities to fully use their competence or to use their new knowledge of nursing to recognize symptoms of dementia of the elderly people and to broaden awareness of healthy aging. The research confirmed the second hypothesis that the nurses in the G.P. rooms do not purposefully aim their efforts to identify the early stages of dementia. The third hypothesis was confirmed; the elderly people showed their interest in the nurse{\crq}s intervention to identify the symptoms of dementia, thus confirming their reliance in nurses{\crq} expertise. All three objectives were fulfilled. At the close of the study it was pointed out that the existing approach of the nurses in the G.P. rooms to this disorder should change, the nurses should partake in using standardised less time consuming methods to test the elderly people with a higher risk of dementia, and to broaden awareness of healthy aging and all possible ways to prevent the syndrome of dementia.

Endoscopic laser-assisted cordectomies classified by Remacle and Rudert (typ I-V cordectomies) comprise a vast range of procedures from simple vocal cord stripping or submucosal cordectomy (type I) through more extensive surgery (subligamentous cordectomy- type II, transmuscular chordectomy- type III) to complete (type IV) or extended cordectomies (type V) used when tumour involves the anterior commisure, arytenoid region, subglottic region etc. Endoscopic laser-assisted surgery of the larynx is usually indicated in early stages of infiltrative malignant disease of the glottic region (Tla-b, T2) or in preneoplastic conditions (laryngeal intraepithelial neoplasia - LIN I, II or III). Radiotherapy is also believed to be an equivalent type of oncological therapy for these diseases. Both surgery and radiotherapy can worsen one of the main functions of the human larynx- the human voice. Because the overall survival rates and local control rates are quite similar in both types of therapy, one should always have in mind something that is beyond the main goal of achieving radical removal of the tumour- patients quality of life (QoL) and quality of voice. It is very interesting to compare QoL and voice quality in different types of treatment. The possibility to conserve the radiotherapy for the possible recurrence...

The possibilities of use of the robotic system da Vinci for treatment of localized prostate tumor
Podzimek, Michal ; Kočárek, Jiří (advisor) ; Kolombo, Ivan (referee)
Cancer of prostate is the most frequent male malignity and also it is the second most common cause of death in Europe and in the USA. There are 2 228 new cases reported in the Czech republic per year. The probability of occurrence of this disease is one to six during whole life. There is a good success in detection of his disease in the early stage due to development of screening methods. In such case the radical prostatectomy is very successful method of treatment. Besides of operation methods like open radical prostatectomy and laparoscopic prostatectomy there is a new operation method using robotic system da Vinci. The aim of this machine is to bring the advantages of the miniinvasive surgery together with keeping intuitive handling like in open surgery. First da Vinci system was bought and installed in the Central military hospital in Prague, Czech republic in 2005. The common knowledge about using this method is very low in both general public and specialists. Nor patients, neither their doctors often know about possibility of surgery using da Vinci system. The main objective of this thesis is to evaluate almost three years of experience of treatment localized prostate tumor using da Vinci system, and to describe its possibilities, benefits and disadvantages. Collection of 255 patients files aged...

Scream and Silence
Štefaňák, Ondřej ; NEBESKÝ, Jan (advisor) ; KORČÁK, Jakub (referee)
The work aims to examine the artistic expressionist tendency, manifested in expressionist drama and theater practice. In the first part, the author focuses on the origin and the direction of its general manifestations in arts and the historical context of expressionism. The author also attempts to highlight the features of expressionism in drama and contemplates the methods of expressionist artists in theater. In the second part, the author reflects his own experience of the production of an early expressionist text ''Spring’s Awakening''. He analyzes the text's dramaturgical potential and creates the basis for the theatrical production. He describes the creation of the staging as an audio-visual and scenic solution, where the particular focus is on the stylization of actors. Finally, the author tries to capture the essence of expressionism in a broader sense, as a peculiar way of expression for the artist.

"Sonne, this sall be oure takynnyng…" Sir Percyvell of Gales and Chrétien de Troyes's Conte du Graal: narrative strategies in a Middle English romance
Zátka, Ondřej ; Čermák, Jan (advisor) ; Znojemská, Helena (referee)
The Middle English verse romance Sir Percyvell of Gales was preserved in a unique copy in the Thornton manuscript held by the Lincoln Cathedral Library as MS 91. Altogether the manuscript contains sixty-four texts of various genres ranging from saints' lives to medical treatises as well as eight romances, including Sir Percyvell. Although the manuscript was written around the half of the 15th century, the date of composition of the poem was set early in the 14th century.1 The foolish, blundering, and unmannerly knight Perceval made his first appearance on the stage of medieval European literature in Chrétien de Troyes's twelfth-century Le Conte du Graal, or Le Roman de Perceval, an unfinished masterpiece of 9234 lines, which turned out to be one of the founding texts of the genre of Arthurian verse romance2 not only in French, but also in all the other vigorously developing national literary languages of Western Europe of that time. Chrétien's Perceval is a prime example of the refined courtly mode of chivalric romance. It is embroidered with subtle love-talk and ritualized courtly manners. It features long psychologizing sketches of the heroes, a composition which is far from linear and in which events are often presented not in chronological order, but rather in a changed succession subjected to the...

The lords of Lobkowicz and Hassenstein in the late middle ages
Gavenda, Lukáš ; Doležalová, Eva (referee) ; Bobková, Lenka (advisor)
The modern prince family of Lobkowicz243 has its roots in North Bohemia several hundred years ago. This diploma work deals with the general history and cultural meaning of this family in Late Middle Ages, concretely in the course of 15th century and at the beginning of the following century. This work consists of three chapters. The first one is concerned with the history of the Lobkowiczs in its first five generations (14th-16th centuries). Rare information about the first known members of the family are dated to the end of the rule of the Emperor Charles IV. The Lobkowiczs belonged to lower nobility and were known as lairds of Újezd.244 Martin (commonly Mareš) of Újezd had three sons: Blaze (Blažej or Blažek), Wenceslas (Václav) and Nicolas (Mikuláš). The oldest Blaze died early and Wenceslas was a priest, so it was only the youngest son Nicolas who could secure the maintenance of the family. Nicolas of Lobkowicz, a man of high intellectual skills, a talented diplomat and politician, gained confidence of Wenceslas IV, King of Bohemia, and kept a close connection to the royal court. It was him who bought the village and fort Lobkovice in 1410, that gave name to the family. A few years later he had also gained the castle Hassenstein in North-West Bohemia and Hluboká in South Bohemia, which supported the...

Securitization of the threat of civil aviation abuse
Prázdná, Eliška ; Rolenc, Jan Martin (advisor) ; Machoň, Miloslav (referee)
International security became highly discussed subject in the early stage of globalization. It has stayed a current issue ever since. With about 2.5 billion people per year choosing air traffic, the security in aviation has become equally discussed. The aim of this paper is to examine the securitization process, its objects and the way of institutionalization presented by security regulations that came after London Heathrow events, where we saw, what kind of threat could civil aviation represent. Firstly, the Copenhagen school's theoretical concept of securitization is being defined, than it will be used as a framework for the UK bomb plot of 2006.

Theatricality of early dance: French renaissance
Bryan, Mikuláš ; Christov, Petr (referee) ; Stehlíková, Eva (advisor)
This thesis, Theatricality if earfy dance: French Renaissance, concentrates on providing a commented translation of the crucial dance manual of the 16th century: Orchesographie by French canon Thoinot Arbeau. Since it is the ftrst full translation of a period dance manual to the Czech language ever, its task is mainly to set the stage for wider awareness of early dancing, both on academic grounds and amongst the general public. Due to the extent of the original work, the introductory study is mostly concerned with the problems of translation, footnotes throughout the work fill in mainly the essential life and institutions and provide a discussion on handling the objectionable and questionable passages. Orchesographie itself purveys critical information on social ballroom behaviour and on the interaction of musicians and dancers, covering a full spectrum of late Renaissance dance; therefore it makes an excellent starting point for further examination of various other topics: the influence court masks and their theatricality had on social dancing and vice versa, overall culture of movement giving birth to the tradition of French court ballet and musical theatre and last but not least the dance references in period dramatic works, for example of The Elizabethan Era or The Spanish Golden Age. Czech scholars...
