The Representation of Shoah: Children Writing the Holocaust
Vlasáková, Šárka ; Holý, Jiří (advisor) ; Mravcová, Marie (referee)
Aim of this diploma thesis is to compare different forms of narrating of the holocaust through Children's eyes. Pure child's narration has much bigger impact on reader than narration of an adult, enriched with metaphors and attributes. In this way child's point of view extends the ethical dimension of holocaust narration. We will examine the discourse of child's narration in three diaries (The Diary of David Sierakowiak, The Diary of Mary Berg, The Beautiful Days of My Youth by Ana Novac), one Fictional diary (The Unloved. From the Diary of Perla S. by Arnošt Lustig) and a novella (Child of the Shadows by Henryk Grynberg). Children's narrators of the holocaust are characterized by psychological maturity, which contrasts with their official age. On the other hand they reveal childishness, while growing up, because of their unfinished childhood. In those books we will examine changing of the narrators discourse and his depiction of space (ghetto, concentration camp, shelter) and persons (family, friend, Nazis). We will also focus on distinct motives that form these books (e.g.: hunger, guilt, comic, Paradise, game).

Králová, Barbora ; Opravilová, Eva (advisor) ; Loudová Stralczynská, Barbora (referee)
The purpose of this study is to analyse the level of maturity of children older than two years in the context of their potential integration in the public preschool education system before they reach the age of three years. The first chapter discusses the opinion of the EU Council of the preschool education, its ambition to promote the institutional care in line with the equal opportunities for men and women policy, and the situation in EU member states as regards meeting the 2002 Barcelona goals. The second chapter describes the current legislative and institutional framework in the Czech Republic. It focuses on the applicable legislation, namely the Parental Subsidy Act as amended, and the existing framework of the institutional care in question. The key focus of the third chapter is on children and their needs. The third chapter elaborates on various factors influencing their development such as family situation, age and other individual particularities. The last chapter of the theoretical part is on maturity of a child younger than three years from the point of view of the developmental psychology. The practical part surveys children maturity based on the environment examination in kindergartens, crèches and children homes. It encompasses observations of three children from their day one in...

Changes in understanding of conception !popular culture" by the users (example of women's audience watching TV series "for the whole family" x
Fišerová, Marie ; Dominik, Šimon (advisor) ; Reifová, Irena (referee)
This thesis deals with the study of popular culture for example, television series like a typical product of this culture and of research of their consumers. It deals with the shift in the understanding of the importance of the concept of popular culture for example, female audience pursuing series called series "for the whole family. With this selected audience watching the series at the time of normalization, and at the same time pursuing current series I am trying to trace the development, as well as the changes in understanding of pop culture. The aim of this thesis is to determine the movement, changes in the understanding of the concept / importance of popular culture occurred during the period of normalization to the present days. At work I deal with social and political context, defining of popular culture, everydayness and watching TV serials. This is a qualitative research on female audience through in-depth interviews.

Effect of lactoferrin on macroscopical and histological features in different tissues in rats. II. Liver and kidneys.
Škrle, Jan ; Semecký, Vladimír (advisor) ; Mladěnka, Přemysl (referee)
Lactoferin is an 80-kDa iron-binding glykoprotein. It shares a high degree of homology at amino acid sequence level and also the three dimensional conformation level with transferin. Both proteins are classified in the family of iron-binding glykoproteins, named transferin family. Afinity of Lf to iron is about 260times higher than that of transferin. (1) Lf is present physiologically in exocrine secretions, eg. tears, saliva, milk, sinovial fluid, seminal fluid and in the secondary granules of neutophils. (6) The precise function of Lf in organism is considered to be very complex and is still a hot subject of scientific disputation. Lf was documented to act as antimicrobial, antiinflamatory and antitumoral agent. (15,17) Another of its properties is ability to inhibit hydroxyl radical formation via Fenton reaction. (20) Because of good technological properties and it's physiological occurence Lf can be used as a therapeutical agent.(6) In our experiment we studied the influence of Lf on macroscopical and histological features in liver and kidney of the sewer-rat. We used two-dose model of i.v. Lf ( 50mg/kg in one dose and 3x 20 mg/kg in three days). The tissues of both models were used for histopatological analysis. We observed significant patological changes in kidney and liver after i.v....

Gene expression profiling after experimental perinatal asphyxia and the effect of complement-derived anaphylatoxin C3a
Šourková, Hana ; Wsól, Vladimír (advisor) ; Šimůnek, Tomáš (referee)
Background: The complement system is involved in neuroprotection and brain repair after brain damage. To understand the molecular mechanisms of these processes, we performed gene expression profiling using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), which is the most accurate modern strategy for gene expression analysis. Project: Our project was directly aimed at expression profiling of selected genes potentially involved in loss and rescue of neural tissue during three weeks after hypoxic-ischemic brain injury, an experimental model of perinatal asphyxia. Recent experiments have shown that over-expression of C3a under the control of the GFAP promoter (C3a/GFAP) reduced hippocampal injury after left common carotid artery ligation in neonatal mice by 50%, compared to wild type mice. Here, we assessed how the local expression of C3a/GFAP transgene affects gene expression profiles. Gene expression was measured on samples from hippocampus ipsilateral and contralateral to the injury and ipsilateral part of cortex, taken at the time of injury, 6 and 24 hours; 3, 7 and 21 days after the injury. Results: Our data showed that the regulation of gene expression after hypoxic-ischemic injury differs in timing and intensity and may also be region dependent. The analysed genes belong to families...

The Prague Symphonics and the Education of Young Audience
Kneřová, Dagmar ; Perglerová, Marka (referee) ; Kubátová, Gabriela (advisor)
The idea of concerts for young audience came already in the 19th century. It is around 1940, shortly after its foundation, that Prague symphony orchestra started to prepare concerts for a young public. Since 1955 a large serie of concerts under the name of "Morning Concerts For Students Of Prague Schools" saw the day. It became an important part of the orchestra's activities . PhDr. Ilja Šmíd, current director of the orchestra, brought a novelty of family concerts called "Orchestra to touch", later renamed "Music to touch". Another interesting project is the creation of the "Fík Music Club" organised in collaboration with specialist teachers from the Czech Orff Society. Both projects have the purpose to broaden children's musicality and represent the way how Prague Symphony Orchestra educate the young audience.

William Faulkner's Light in August: constructing race in the community
Jelínková, Karolína ; Roraback, Erik Sherman (referee) ; Ulmanová, Hana (advisor)
When William Faulkner was born on September 25, 1897, he entered the times of the high tide of racial extremism that marked the post-Reconstruction era and the beginning of the 20th century. The small domestic world of the Falkner family William lived in as a small boy also afforded him contact with racial differences, most memorably through the servant of the Falkner family - Caroline Barr. This was a harmonious contact. The Falkner boys called Caroline "Mammy" Callie; "she cooked, she cleaned, and she cared for them but most of all the boys liked her stories - of animals in the woods, ghosts, and the 'Old Days' of slavery. The boys loved her dearly" (Williamson, William Faulkner and Southern History 153). However, William was soon confronted with the other side of the racially divided world. This must have happened most powerfully in the year 1908, when Oxford, Mississippi witnessed the lynching of Nelse Patton, "a black convict, but also [ ... ] a 'trusty'" (Williamson, William Faulkner and Southern History 157) who was allowed to run errands all over the town. He killed Mattie McMillan, a white woman, to whom he delivered a message, but refused to leave her house. She attempted to draw a pistol, but he stopped her and "drew a razor blade across [her] throat [ ... ], almost severing her head from her...
