The facilitation of inhibition of the muscles of the torso and lower extremities using various types of footwear - a polyEMG study
Šmahelová, Kateřina ; Lepšíková, Magdaléna (advisor) ; Holubcová, Zuzana (referee)
Diploma thesis "Facilitation and inhibition of trunk and lower extremity muscles using different types of shoes -surface polyEMG assessment" describes basic knowledge about human gait. The work summarizes important facts about gait development, physiological pattems and about impact of shoe types on kinematics and muscle activity during walking. The aim of the study was to analyze activity of eight muscles of trunk and of lower extremities and also to assess basíc temporal-spatial characteristics of gait using surface poly-EMG and forceplate during barefoot gait and while walking in different types of shoes. The analysis was carried out in a sample of 18 young healthy women during level walking. Outcomes indicate that every tested pair of shoes changes temporal-spatial characteristic as well as activity of trunk and lower extremities muscles compared to barefoot gait. In some cases outcomes showed statistically significant difference. According to our conc1usions cause of it was especially the weight of shoes and the instability of ankle and foot while walking in high heels, toe post sandals and "tapky".

Nation Branding as an Element of Economic Diplomacy - Spanish Experience
Šmahelová, Kateřina ; Peterková, Jana (advisor) ; Zemanová, Štěpánka (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with nation branding in the context of economic diplomacy and puts a special emphasis on Spain. The main purpose is to provide an answer to the following question: "Is the Spanish reputation-building project Marca Espaňa launched in 2013 beneficial for country's performance in economic diplomacy area and is it possible to observe any results despite a relatively short time period?" Chapter one concentrates on theoretical issues and apart from defining relevant basic terms it provides a theoretical relationship between the concepts of economic diplomacy and nation branding. Chapter two examines the Spanish system of economic diplomacy and nation branding and underlines their interconnection on the practical level. Chapter three analyses the contribution of the Marca Espaňa project to Spain's economic diplomacy and examines Spain's performance in nation branding, overall economic competitiveness and exports through a detailed analysis of various international ranking and official statistical data.
