The symbolism of flowers in the Hindu ritual
Duda, Petr ; Marková, Dagmar (referee) ; Vacek, Jaroslav (advisor)
Plants and flowers play a relatively important role in the Hindu ritual and the elaborated system of rules concerning the suitability and unsuitability of particular flowers for particular gods offers an interesting subject of study in the field of ritual symbolism. This thesis attempts to describe the use of plants in the Hindu pj ritual and their possible symbolic functions. After summing up the present knowledge about the origin of the worship of deities in India in the last centuries of the period of Brahmanism within the Vedic domestic ritual tradition and stating the general similarities and differences between the temple and the domestic versions of the studied ritual, the thesis focuses on the latter, simpler version. A comparison of several primary materials has shown that the structure of the individual ritual acts during the ceremony is fixed and identical for all deities. The pjs for the individual gods and goddesses primarily differ on the level of the pronounced mantras. However, some specifics can be found with the offerings as well, while the most extensive instructions concerning the suitable and unsuitable offerings are those dealing with flowers. The analysis of more than three dozens of such passages has shown that besides a group of flowers which can be used for the worship of deities...

The Practice of Sky Burials in Tibet
Brzoňová, Monika ; Komárek, Stanislav (advisor) ; Berounský, Daniel (referee)
Sky burial is a common funeral practice in Tibet. A human corpse is cut into small pieces and placed on a mountaintop (called durtro), exposing it to the elements and animals - especially to birds of prey. In Tibetan the practice is known as jhator (Tibetan bya gtor), which literally means "giving alms to the gods". As the name implies, jhator is considered an act of generosity: the deceased and his/her surviving relatives are providing food to sustain living beings. Because the majority of Tibetans adhere to Buddhism, which teaches reincarnation, generosity and compassion for all beings are important virtues or paramita in Buddhism. So the function of the sky burial is simply the disposal of the remains. In much of Tibet the ground is too hard and rocky to dig a grave, and with fuel and timber scarce, a sky burial is often more practical than cremation. This graduation theses enlarge about this ritual in all his connotation, i.e. historical, religious, culturology and philosophical meanings. It also enlighten about Tibetan approach to the death and funeral services in Tibet. The primal problem is the phenomena of sky burial and it's course, sense and other overlaps (like astrology, medicine, ethics, enviromentalism, iconography and so on).

6 ABSTRACT Title: Analysis of handball coaches' activities in selected area. Objectives: The aim of the thesis was to determine wether the activities of coaches in handball teams, divisions under the Regional North-Moravian Handball Association (OSSH), are in accordance with the recommendations issued by the Czech Handball Federation (CSH). Methods: For the entire research project was chosen the epirically analytical method. With respect to the geografically large area, we considered interrogation method which can be used to collect both quantitative and qualitative research data. All collected data were summarized by entering inno tables and graphs. In the verification of hypotheses the data was evaluated by using basic statistical methods, the arithmetic mean, absolute frequency and relative frequency. Results: The thesis was intended to result in recommendation for coaches' education and development in the mentioned region. With reference to the research results in this thesis the recommendation will not related to impetus for only participation in the trainings. As we found out, the passing of the education and training activities themselves is not a problem. The recommendation will be predominantly related to the change of approach. It is necessary to transform the passive approach into the active one...

Cultural ecology, cultural materialism, and Marxism
Szeryński, Tadeusz ; Soukup, Martin (referee) ; Soukup, Václav (advisor)
In my thesis, I attempt to outline the relation of the work of three prominent representatives of the 20th century American anthropology to Kari Marx's teachings. The text consists of four relatively independent parts joined by the subject of the application of materialist principles in the analysis of man and culture. In the first part, I advance my interpretation of the picture of man and nature in Kari Marx's writings. Besides Marx's approach to an individual and his activity, I also pay attention to his conception of the stmcture and development of human activity on the social level, where this practice acquires the complexion of socioeconomic formations, the succession of which constitutes human history unfolding in accordance with dialecticallaws. In the second part, I examine Marx' s inf1uence on the concept of man and culture in the writtings by Leslie Alvin White. Not only is it possible to identify the inspiration by Marx' s theories in White' s approach to the stmcture and development of a cultural system, but it is also obvious in his understanding of the relation of man to culture, and in certain passages on politi cal economy. The third part deals with Marvin Harris' s cultural materialism. I hope to show here the way that Harris employed certain fragments of Marx's method of historical...

Pathophysiology and clinical implications of late coronary thrombosis after implantation of drug eluting stents in patients with manifest atherosclerosis
Jakabčin, Jozef ; Červinka, Pavel (advisor) ; Poledne, Rudolf (referee) ; Mates, Martin (referee)
Pathophysiology and clinical implications of late coronary thrombosis after implantation of drug eluting stents in patients with manifest atherosclerosis Abstract Drug-eluting stents (DES) have markedly reduced restenosis rates compared with bare metal stents (BMS) in controlled randomized trials. Concerns have been raised about a possibly increased incidence of stent thrombosis (ST) after discontinuation of dual antiplatelet treatment compared with BMS. While a restenosis is relatively benign process, this serious complication is an issue because mortality of such event is reaching almost 50%. Among well recognized predictors of late stent thrombosis (delayed endothelisation, renal failure, bifurcation lesions, diabetes, premature antiplatelet therapy discontinuation, slow thrombus disappearance), the stent under expansion and stent deployment technique are also considered to be a contributor for development of late stent thrombosis. There was a paucity of data regarding the IVUS guidance during DES implantation. The aim of this study was to assess the role of IVUS guidance during implantation of DES on longterm outcome in patients with high clinical and angiographic risk profile. Methods: Between January 2004 and December 2005, 2110 patients underwent percutaneous coronary intervention, including 276...

Burn-out syndrome in thepre-hospital and hospital care forparamedicalpersonnel
ŠAŠKOVÁ, Jana
The "burn out "syndrom is the state of a physical, emotional and psychical exhaustion. There is a relatively big danger of the "burn out"syndrom emergence by the paramedics and that is why there should be given a big stress to its prevention. The aim of this bachelor´s work was to find out if there is a bigger "burn out" syndrom by the paramedics than by hospital paramedics. The next aim was to find out the influence of the practice´ lenght and of the workfalling in to the psychical point of view to the paramedics. It was used the investigation of quantity through the standartised quostionnaire to find out the "burn out" level. We created a quostionnaire that contained 11 questions to find out if the paramedics have the prevention against the "burn out" syndrom. The standartised questonnaire MBI was evaluated in the area of the South Bohemian region through the charts and graphs. It was found that the hospital paramedics are more inclinating to the "burn out" syndrom than the ambulance service paramedics. Followingly the investigation, there is a bigger risk of "burn out" syndrom by paramedics with the longer practice. The most of the paramedics try to prevent the "burn out" syndrom but the prevention didn´t appear to be efficient in comparison to the number of "burn out" paramedics.

Quantitative analysis of D2 dopamine receptors in clinically non-functioning pituitary adenomas
Gabalec, Filip ; Čáp, Jan (advisor) ; Fryšák, Zdeněk (referee) ; Hána, Václav (referee)
Quantitative analysis of D2 dopamine receptors in clinically non-functioning pituitary adenomas Introduction Clinically non-functioning pituitary adenomas account for about one-third of pituitary tumors. The majority of them are pathologically classified as gonadotropinomas or null-cell adenomas without hormonal expression. The rest represent silent corticotroph adenomas and plurihormonal tumors. Conservative therapy with dopamine agonists is effective in some cases only depending on the expression of dopamine 2 receptors (D2R). Objective The aim of this study was to quantitatively estimate D2R expression in clinically nonfunctioning pituitary adenomas and correlate the results with adenoma type according to pathological classification. Methods and results Out of the 87 adenomas investigated, 63 expressed gonadotropins, 7 were silent corticotroph adenomas, 7 were plurihormonal tumors, and only 6 did not express any pituitary hormone on immunohistochemical investigation. With the use of the reverse transcriptase real-time PCR technique, D2R mRNA was expressed in all adenomas with very heterogeneous quantity. The expression was very low in corticotroph adenomas (relative median quantity after normalization to housekeeping gene 0.01) and lower in plurihormonal tumors (median 0.4) than in gonadotroph...
