Vliv vybraných kardiovaskulárních léčiv nalézaných ve vodním prostředí na ryby
STEINBACH, Christoph Antonius
Cardiovascular pharmaceuticals are among the most prescribed drugs. As a result of the high consumption, these pharmaceuticals have been frequently detected in waste and surface waters. Verapamil, diltiazem and atenolol are very important representatives of cardiovascular pharmaceuticals; therefore, the present research focused on their acute and sub-chronic effects, bioconcentration, half-life time and metabolism in fish. Moreover, unified protocol for the quantitative assessment of histopathological alterations on the heart ventricle and coronary blood vessels employing heart index calculation was developed with the aim to better assess histopathological changes in fish heart which is one of the targets of cardiovascular pharmaceuticals and other chemicals. The effects caused by high concentrations of the studied substances, verapamil, diltiazem and atenolol, in fish can be considered similar to the therapeutic effects and side effects that are found in humans. The acute exposure to verapamil at the human therapeutic plasma level reduced the heart rate in common carp embryos and larvae. In addition, the acute and chronic exposure to this substance caused peripheral edema and gastrointestinal haemorrhage in carp. Similarly, the histological changes in heart and the blood vessels of the liver in diltiazem exposed rainbow trout suggested vasodilatation similar to the pharmacological effect of diltiazem in the human body. In rainbow trout sub-chronically exposed to atenolol at a human therapeutic blood plasma concentration, histopathological changes in the cardiovascular system were found. The bioconcentration of verapamil, diltiazem and atenolol in fish can be classified as low. Bioconcentration factor (BCF) of verapamil in whole body homogenates of common carp ranged between 6.6 and 16.6. The BCF of diltiazem was also relatively low (0.5-194) in analysed tissues of trout, following the order kidney liver muscle blood plasma. BCF of atenolol in rainbow trout tissues was the lowest among the tested substances (BCF = 0.002-0.27), following the order of liver > kidney > muscle. In the blood plasma, the concentration of atenolol was below the limit of quantification. Verapamil showed a longer half-life time (10.6 days) in fish compared to the human body, indicating the slow rate of biotransformation and/or elimination of verapamil in fish. Estimated half-life times of diltiazem in liver (1.5 h) and kidney (6.2 h) were in the same order of magnitudes as those determined for the human blood plasma. The half-life time of atenolol in trout was not studied, because of its very low bioconcentration. In diltiazem exposed rainbow trout, 8 groups of metabolites of diltiazem with 17 different isoforms were identified using liquid chromatography/high resolution mass spectrometry method. Diltiazem was found to undergo a biotransformation involving desmethylation, desacethylation and hydroxylation in fish. These results showed that diltiazem was metabolised in fish in a similar way like in the human body by desmethylation and desacethylation. On the other hand, hydroxylation, which was involved to a minor extent, seemed to be species specific. Verapamil had no effect on early life stages of common carp at the environmentally relevant concentration after one month lasting exposure. On the other hand, atenolol and diltiazem in environmentally realistic concentrations caused after 42-day exposure some physiological changes in rainbow trout. Namely, atenolol affected haematological and biochemical parameters of the blood in exposed rainbow trout and diltiazem caused changes in the activity of antioxidant enzymes in trout liver and gills. These data indicated that atenolol and diltiazem, when present in the aquatic environment, could be a source of sub-lethal detrimental effects in fish.

Revitalization Program of Floral Garden in Kromeriz
Sedlák, Miroslav Gabriel ; Foretník, Jan (referee) ; Nový, Vítězslav (advisor)
The development of the town represented a key turning point in the life of the Flower Garden. Its entrance was relocated from the arcade in the upper part of the garden to its side, via the cour d'honneur. It means that visitors leave not having experienced the genius loci of the Flower Garden, since they entered the middle part of the garden “exhibition” without any previous explanation. The main idea of the entire project is to restore the garden into its original condition, which shall include the opening of a central pavilion and the possibility to enter the garden upon the “introduction” on the arcade in the upper part of the central axis. The project attempts to make use of the existing cour d'honneur as much as possible, which is finely renovated in order to be able to comply with the current requirements for a UNESCO World Heritage Site entrance building. The existing entrance building and cour d'honneur feature a foyer, restaurant, restaurant facilities and exhibition areas and supply off-loading area. The projected area features a new curve-defined exhibition area which represents reminiscence of a unique arcade. The new element is located in the upper third of the projected area and it is embedded in the surrounding terrain to create shallow passageway between the gardens. This embedding creates angularities running in opposite directions, one of which is designed as a ramp connecting the terrace on the arcade and the projected area. A florist’s is reconstructed in the lower part of the gardens (it is expected to be partly independent) with no relation to the applicable plan area. The florist’s is also interlaced with the axes of the Flower Garden, with the vision of the renovation of "rabbit’s hillock" and the reconstruction of a bird house with a body of water.

Research Report on Condition Assessment of Wood-destroying Damage to Log Walls of a Landless Person's Cottage of Leskovec (orig. No. 70) and a Cottage of Lužná (orig. No. 28) now in the Museum in Rožnov pod Radhoštěm
Kloiber, Michal ; Hrivnák, Jaroslav ; Bláha, Jiří
The subject of the research report was to assess the condition of and identify the wood-destroying damage to the walls of a landless person's cottage of Leskovec and a cottage of Lužná, two log structures that are part of the exhibition at the Wallachian Museum in Rožnov pod Radhoštěm. The report focused on locating points, classifying the degree of damage, determining the extent of concealed attack by the means of non-destructive devices, specifying whether wood is subject to a fungal attack (mycological damage) or insect attack (entomological damage) and drawing the results obtained in the plan documentation. The report was based on direct and mediated visual observation using an endoscope and mainly on measurements taken using a resistance microdrilling device and also on ascertainment of mechanical properties of wood using expanding jaws in the borehole. Based on the results, specific procedures for rehabilitation measures were designed and elements designed for structural rehabilitation were marked in the drawing documentation.

What and Why do we laugh with Jára Cimrman at?
Jiskrová, Zuzana ; Mocná, Dagmar (referee) ; Peterka, Josef (advisor)
This study tries to map the phenomenon of the personality of Jára Cimrman and of the humour present in the plays of his authors. It is mainly a literary study. A theatrologic view is used only in some parts of my work where it is necessary for the right understanding of the problem and the perception of the whole breadth of its humour. General knowledge about the poetic of the plays is then concretisized by the attempt of interpretation of the final play of the cycle - Czech Heaven - that have been predetermined to final and summarizing deal by the subtitle "Cimrman's dramatic testament." The study tries to answer a basic question: "What and why do we laugh with Jára Cimrman at?" At what? Almost at all. Why? Because it is funny. The comic is in case of the Cimrmans created by many aspects which are analysed in this study step by step. There is no one answer. The brand Smoljak & Svěrák has created admirable ficticious world under the shield of mystification and face of Czech genius Jára Cimrman. They touch the theme of Czech national feeling, in a witty way they remember us and sometimes they criticise kindly our Czech stereotypes by using all possible comical levels. The authors have filled in a certain way a gap in the Czech culture and literature by the fact that they have added another giant into not too...

CSSR's insite art interacting with the sociopolitical environment to turn of 60's and 70's
Oberfalcer, Edvard ; Pelánová, Anita (advisor) ; Šafařík, Petr (referee)
This bachelor's thesis called "CSSR's insite art interacting with the sociopolitical environment to turn of 60's and 70's" disserts on the development and status of "insite art" (it is a specific definition of naive art) in Czechoslovakia in 60's and 70's. The introduction of this bachelor's thesis is dedicated to the terminology and characteristics of insite painting. According to the terminological part, the original meaning or more accurately the content of insite art was affected in 60's which means that the term insite art does not mean only pure naive art itself but also for art brut and partly for folk art. Next part focuses on the history and development considering not only insite art, but also art brut and naive art. The main topic of this thesis is whether the insite art was affected by the situation in CSSR in 1968 and what was the attitude of political garniture. The bachelor's thesis is divided into 2 main parts which attempt to answer these questions. The first part deals with an analysis of insite art authors'stories. These stories can answer the question whether the atmosphere in 1968 had an influence on authors'activities or opportunities to exhibit their works. The second part is dedicated to the quantitative analysis of newspaper called Rudé právo that should give an answer...

Mikulášek Square Brno
Švéda, Petr ; Fišer, Jiří (referee) ; Odvárka, Antonín (advisor) ; Štěpánek, Ladislav (advisor)
The bachelor’s thesis solves one of the buildings of an extensive designed urban area in Mikulášek Square in Starý Lískovec, Brno. The area is spreading between two rows of eight-floor-blocks. Main goal of this project is to preserve the green areas for recreation purposes and to create an urban square that will be used as a public space with all of the community functions. That goal is accomplished by using the green roofs, the buildings, sunken halfway under a surrounding terrain, and by the soil-covered back sides of building. That enables access to the roofs for public; roofs become a part of the park. The organic-shaped urban “double-square” is spanned by a pedestrian bridge for an easier traffic. The main idea of The Cultural Center proposal is based on variability of space. Around the cultural hall, from all four sides, there is a gallery, which enables wider usage (e. g. for an avant-garde theatre performance). A huge multi-level common and an exhibition space are ones of most important spaces. The visitors will be able to have an exhilarating experience of exciting dimension of space. The Cultural Center is connected to surroundings via both floors. That makes it possible to organize some outdoor cultural performances which can easily continue to the interior.
