The influence of menus in catering establishments on a sustainable development of tourism
Lochman, Josef ; Vágner, Jiří (advisor) ; Jehlička, Petr (referee) ; Matlovičová, Kvetoslava (referee)
Food accompanies a tourist's stay in a destination from the very beginning to the very end and significantly influences the overall travel experience. However, gastronomic experiences also have a significant impact on the environment, as food has to be produced, transported, and processed. This thesis addresses the environmental issue of tourists' diet in detail. The main purpose is to comprehensively approach the problem from several perspectives. Specifically, the thesis has four objectives: 1) to quantify the amount of food consumed globally in tourism and its environmental requirements; 2) to identify the potential drivers behind excessive negative pressure on the environment; 3) to evaluate the level of environmental sustainability of selected European urban destinations and 4) to consider possible opportunities for the sustainable development of a destination in relation to its gastronomic offer. In terms of theoretical framework, the thesis uses the concept of time geography and the theory of planned behaviour to demonstrate the importance of the role of catering facilities in the environmental sustainability of a destination. The reason for this is primarily the limited movement of tourists and their access to catering facilities. Another key element is the structure of local offer (menus),...

Magnetic nanoparticles of iron oxides for medicine
Kubániová, Denisa ; Kohout, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Mašláň, Miroslav (referee) ; Šepelák, Vladimír (referee)
Magnetic nanoparticles of iron oxides, particularly those of ferric oxides, magnetite, substituted variants, including functional derivatives, have attracted significant interest because of promis- ing capabilities in emerging diagnostic imaging methods and novel therapeutic interventions. In addition to the rapid development of syntheses and functionalization methods, a comprehen- sive understanding of their fundamental physical characteristics and the complex link among composition, microstructure, magnetic properties, and relaxation characteristics is pivotal for the rational design of well-defined magnetic nanoparticle systems. Generally, the magnetic behavior of nanoparticles deviates from bulk materials not only due to finite-size and surface effects but also by the occurrence of new crystal structures (polymorphs) and metastable states, such as non-equilibrium cation distribution. The doctoral thesis investigates the key physical characteristics of selected nanoparticle systems (simple ferric oxides of various crystal struc- ture and morphology; Zn-, Co- and Mn-substituted magnetite-maghemite; coated by various hydrophilic and biologically inert surface layers), primarily by 57 Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy and supplemented by other available techniques. For that purpose, Mössbauer spectroscopy that...

How to motivate DM2 patients to lose weight
Hoffmannová, Gabriela ; Krejčí, Hana (advisor) ; Anderlová, Kateřina (referee)
The disease diabetes mellitus is reaching an alarming level worldwide and its prevalence is rising sharply every year. The Czech Republic has over a million patients with this disease. This is a major societal problem, where the costs of diabetes treatment, especially for the treatment of complications, are skyrocketing and burdening the economy. Therefore, we must look for ways to motivate patients to reduce weight, which can also lead to disease remission, better compensations, and a reduction in the development of complications in individual patients. People often know about a healthy diet and the need for physical activity, yet they often struggle with reducing their weight. The aim of this work was to find out how we can motivate patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus to lose weight. In view of the development of motivational interviews when working with behaviour change in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, a hypothesis was established: An appropriate individualized motivational interview can positively influence the motivation to reduce weight in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. To fulfil the goal of this work, both quantitative and qualitative research was chosen in order to use the strengths of both methodological approaches as much as possible. Quantitative based on an online...

The impact of specific food types and physical activity on breast cancer incidence and development in women
Dvořáková, Tereza ; Matoulek, Martin (advisor) ; Šuta Kimle, Katarína (referee)
Breast cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers among women globally. Modifiable risk factors such as diet and physical activity play a significant role in developing prevention strategies and interventions. The influence of diet and physical activity on the incidence and development of breast cancer is a subject of ongoing research. Healthy lifestyle patterns, characterized by balanced nutrition and regular physical activity, have shown positive implications in preventing the onset of breast cancer. The practical part of this paper uses data from 15 patients who participated in and completed the three-month ONKO-FIT intervention programme. The program aimed to evaluate the effects of targeted nutritional and exercise therapy on the physical condition of breast cancer patients. While the results did not show a statistically significant improvement due to the relatively small sample size, there was a non-zero positive effect, suggesting a possible influence of the therapy on the patients' physical condition. These initial findings underline the potential benefits of such lifestyle interventions, which could significantly impact the treatment and recovery process for breast cancer patients. However, these results also highlight the need for further studies with larger sample sizes to confirm the...

Development of the cities in the early post-socialism. The impact of the liberalization in the nineties of the 20th century to the planned development of socialist modernism
Sedlák, Jaroslav ; Kováč, Bohumil (referee) ; Wittmann, Maxmilian (referee) ; Kopáčik, Gabriel (advisor)
Housing estate quarters of urban structures, that have been built in the period of socialism, currently suffer from the necessary urban transformations and neoplasms. While both here and in many other countries of the former Soviet satellites, is a form of housing estates and their development tied by regulations and "economic players" who determine the radical architectural or urban design changes, in areas of the former Soviet Union is the current form of housing units resulted by unguided architectural and urban interventions. Though in many cases, the expansive examples that are bordering with so called "folk art", we can observe on them the functional principles of "urbanity". They may represent a potential for future design and development of housing estates in the Czech Republic. The thesis will thematize the process of using bloc-of-flats areas in Czech republic as well as in economically low powerful countries, namely Moldova and Georgia. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, while new economic system has destroyed the original urban structure so called mikrorajon, with the development of small individualism the private sector has changed the form of the city housing estate. The total economic collapse and lack of spatial regulation began to offer an accessible alternative housing and place to do business. We can discover kiosks and gradually expanding parterres of real urban type. At the same time we can see new front of street responding to space reserves and distance, as well as appearance of vertical streets inside the houses. The construction itself is no longer just a place for living, but many flats are used as offices and small businesses. Services are developed and the total value of diversity of the environment begins to grow rapidly. Typical monotony of housing units is starting to fade and transformed into a network monitoring the needs of the population. Thus the periphery offer a distinctive part of the city.

Computational Methods for Comparative Music Performance Analysis
Ištvánek, Matěj ; Róka,, Rastislav (referee) ; Jirásek, Ondřej (referee) ; Smékal, Zdeněk (advisor)
Zvyšující se dostupnost digitálního hudebního obsahu a různých interpretací hudebních děl zároveň podněcuje vývoj výpočetních metod oboru získávání hudebních informací (MIR). Tento rozvoj ale nemusí být vždy reflektován v souvisejících oblastech – například v analýze interpretačního výkonu (MPA). Hlavním tématem této disertační práce je využití výpočetních metod a digitálního zpracování hudby pro cíle MPA. Tato práce se zabývá principy MIR pro analýzu a porovnání rozdílů hudebních výkonů a jejich parametrů. Práce analyzuje limitace detektorů nástupů tónů a dob založených na konvenčních přístupech a na strojovém učení, při degradaci vstupního signálu, snížení vzorkovací frekvence, nebo v komplexnějších hudebních strukturách. Dále ukazuje možnosti použití hudební synchronizace, extrakce parametrů a výběru příznaků na originálních datech smyčcových kvartetů pro binární klasifikaci původu interpretů. Na závěr demonstruje vyvíjený software pro komparativní analýzu hudby, který kombinuje přívětivé uživatelské prostředí pro přehrávání, navigaci a vizualizaci dat hudebního výkonu s výpočetními metodami MIR.
