On the limits and possibilities of the stature estimating from hand and foot measurements (hand stencils and foot impressions).
Havránková, Jiřina ; Brůžek, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Dobisíková, Miluše (referee)
This bachelor essay explains view of methods for stature estimation based on hand and foot dimensions. It appears from this view that regression functions are population specific. I have assessed this fact on the collection of 100 French students and I have applicated specific chosen regression equations on the exact group. For stature estimation the most suitable regression equation was the one created by Agnihotri and col. (2008). It provides the best results in an interval 11 up to 12 cms regarding the actual height. For one of the equations, which is using the length of the left hand and the breadth of the right hand of men, the results of the estimation is even 6 cms regarding the actual height. At the end, I tried to calculate my own equations, which offers the estimation results between 6 - 7 cms for the formulas working with the hand length, the estimation results is between 12 - 13 cms for the formulas using the breadth of the arm.

Dental age assessment from panoramic radiographs in children using Moorres et al., (1963) method and its accuracy and reliability in bioarcheology
Havránková, Jiřina ; Brůžek, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Sládek, Vladimír (referee)
This thesis deals with estimation of age in children by using radiographs of their permanent teeth. Specifically aim of this thesis is effort to verify the accuracy and reliability of the use of one particular method and its possible use for the purposes of bioarcheology. Generally speaking, in paleoanthropology and bioarcheology are most often used two methodological approaches. One method is proposed by Demirjian and coworkers (1973) and its various modifications, the second approach is the method proposed by Moorrees and coworkers in 1963. Both methods are based on the evaluation of the degree of mineralization of the teeth, and tooth mineralization stages are compared with reference data in order to estimate dental age. The advantage of the method according Demirjian and coworkers (1973) is the fact, that it has been modified and tested only in the last decade in almost twenty different populations and demonstrated its viability especially in clinical and forensic sciences. Its disadvantage is the necessity of preservation of several mandibular teeth simultaneously, and this condition is often not satisfiable in bioarcheology (Brůžek et al. 2005). For these reasons, in bioarcheology is preferred method proposed by Moorrees and coworkers (1963), because it allows the estimation of life...
