Care Farming as a Form of Rehabilitation and Social service
Kadlecová, Helena ; Holmerová, Iva (advisor) ; Deverová, Lenka (referee)
Care farming includes using farms, farm work and animals, and agricultural and horticultural activities for improving human health and quality of life. It has its roots in involving patients in farm and agricultural work within large health and social care institutions in the past. It also originates from rural self-help systems, which used to employ disadvantaged individuals on farms. Modern care farming is a part of multifunctional agriculture, which offers services beyond mere production of food and fabric. From the care part it comes from the search for new possibilities of therapy, rehabilitation and integration of disabled and disadvantaged people, within the process of deinstitutionalisation of care. Some countries have developed this concept with research conducted at both national and international levels. Care farming has been mostly a bottom-up approach that arose spontaneously from individuals' and organizations' pursuits. If the number of care farming providers is higher in a country they tend to create a network to cooperate better and share experience. I describe the situation in Norway and the United Kingdom. Care farming is provided by farms or social/health care organizations as a means of service. Frequent target groups are people with mental health problems, learning difficulties,...

Comparison of efficiency of bibliographic databases for biochemical problems
Frantíková, Dagmar ; Hodek, Petr (referee) ; Hudeček, Jiří (advisor)
The study presents a comparison between four bibliographic databases widely used in biochemistry: paid SCOPUS and Web of Science and free-accessible MEDLINE and Google Scholar. Their efficacy and suitability for solving biochemical problems was evaluated. Three model problems were chosen and entered to databases: "ellipticine", "Lowry method" and "serine racemase". The located articles in each database were then sorted by their relevance. The best results were obtained with the SCOPUS database (highest proportion of relevant results; thus database has at the same time user-friendly interface). Very good was also free MEDLINE database and if paid databases are unavailable, MEDLINE would be the right option. The best results were found with a combination of both above named databases. Also database Web of Science gave good and relevant results but was not as useful as SCOPUS or MEDLINE. The worst results in this study was given by the database Google Scholar. It would be recommended for searches of basic, not so specific problems. This database locates many articles but with questionnable proportion of relevant articles - and these have to be found manually, which would be time-consuming. Thesis in Czech.

The Change of the Attitude Towards Welfare State - Clinon's Stress on the Active Employment Policy
Dusil, Jakub ; Johnson, Zdenka (advisor) ; Tajovský, Ladislav (referee)
The thesis deals with the reform of the social system of the United States carried out by the Bill Clinton's signature under the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act in 1996 and its impact on the U.S. labor market. From a historical excursion comes an assumption that the success of active employment policy depends not only on the sufficiency of employment programs and enhancing employability of citizens, but also on a number of incentives for job search. At the beginning of his second term, Clinton created the most important piece of legislation in the last decades, which along with the measures positively motivating to work anew defined tough conditions for welfare recipients to sustain benefits and it caused significant changes in the behavior of groups of people most dependent on the income from social benefits. The effects of these measures on the labor market and changes of the labor market indicators deal with the analysis in the last part, which shows increase in the labor force participation rate, significant reduction in the amount of social security recipients and, ultimately, improve the living conditions of Americans by using the indicator of poverty.

Uptake and Utilization of Different Nitrogen Forms by Wheat Plants
Raimanová, Ivana
In spite of the Green Revolution's success, the growing world population together with the degradation of agricultural land and its decrease create pressure on increasing the food production rate and the volume of crop production. Economic reasons and the whole society emphasis on environmental protection lead to the search of new possibilities to increase the efficiency of necessary inputs, esp. energy, nitrogen fertilizers and plant protection products. Economically significant wheat species (Triticum aestivum L. and Triticum durum Desf.) belongs with its area to the most grown crops in the world and they ensure an important part of the food of the world's population. Agro-ecological conditions under which wheat is grown, ranges from semiarid areas to areas with frequent precipitation, from tropics to cool areas in high latitudes with short growing season. Crop systems include various methods of plant nutrition and irrigation, different crop rotations and various soil treatment. This range of soil-climatic and production conditions also corresponds to a broad range of soil nitrogen availability and general conditions for nutrient uptake and utilization. Amount and availability of individual forms of nitrogen for plants varies during their ontogenetic development as a consequence of dynamics of...

Aspects of L2 Literature Teaching in the Foreign Language Classroom in the Context of Grammar School Curriculum Reform
Skopečková, Eva ; Grmelová, Anna (advisor) ; Betáková, Lucie (referee) ; Mánek, Bohuslav (referee)
The present dissertation examines certain crucial issues in the field of literature teaching and the use of literature in the foreign language classroom. In particular, it focuses on the specific aspects of the didactics of English literature in the context of the current trends and changes of the Czech grammar school curriculum. Therefore, it explores the relation of literature and education, the question of interpretation and reception of a literary work in connection with the foreign language classroom, which is currently influenced by the new curricular documents. At the research level, the dissertation attempts to find a potentially ideal combination of the disciplines related to this field, i.e. literary scholarship, EFL methodology as well as the outcomes and intentions of the new curricular documents, and searches for new possibilities of the optimal use of English literature in the EFL classroom. The theoretical section consists of three main chapters that correspond to the three main theoretical grounds of the dissertation reflecting the above mentioned disciplines. At first the focus is given to the role of literature in education, its specific position in the foreign language classroom and to the introduction of the basic principles of reception theory and Wolfgang Iser's approach to the...

Convex functions and their generalization
Krtek, Jiří ; Červinka, Michal (referee) ; Hladík, Milan (advisor)
In the present work we study properties and relations between convex functions and their generalizations. We commence with definition of convex functions and we get to differentiability and searching for extreme points through basic properties as continuity.We continue with quasiconvex, explicitly quasiconvex and pseudoconvex functions. Through their definitions and basic properties we get to relations between them and convex functions. We can find even theorems about composition of these generalizations here, which enable us easier to find, whether given composite function is (explicitly) quasiconvex or pseudoconvex. This work also contains a section dedicated to minimalization of these generalizations. There are mentioned some other generalizations of convexity at the conclusion of this work, which aren't analyzed so much.
