The addition of carbon dioxide to milk for cheese production
Králová, Petra ; Hrstka, Miroslav (referee) ; Kvasnička, Miloš (advisor)
This work deals with the addition of carbon dioxide to milk for cheese production. The first aim was to elaborate a literary search focused on chemical composition of milk and its changes after addition of carbon dioxide and to describe production processes, with or without addition of carbon dioxide. The opening part was in particular focused on production of cheese with carbon dioxide and what all this gas causes during production. Carbon dioxide significantly decreases pH, thereby preventing from multiplication of undesirable microorganisms, it is also very important for shortening of production time, because it shortens the coagulation time. The main aim of experimental part was to determine the optimum addition of carbon dioxide to milk for production of Balkan cheese and using several analytical methods to compare cheese produced with and without addition of carbon dioxide. The sensory methods suitable for following of sensory differences of produced cheeses were also chosen and applied. By request of Dairy in Polná Ltd., the operation economy was calculated, which revealed that production with carbon dioxide is very useful and can reduce production costs of Balkan cheese, which would certainly be positive. The advantages and disadvantages of cheese production with carbon dioxide for consumers as well as for producer are evaluated as conclusion of this work.

Change in blood flow to m. biceps femoris when applying compression therapy
Králová, Petra ; Pavlů, Dagmar (advisor) ; Maršáková, Kateřina (referee)
Title: Change in blood flow to m. biceps femoris when applying compression therapy Objectives: The primary objective of this thesis is to investigate the changes in blood flow to m. biceps femoris when applying tissue flossing technique. Another objective is to evaluate the changes in ischiocrural muscle flexibility before and after applying this technique. Methods: There are 33 healthy participants (20 women, 13 men) between the ages of 18 and 35 (mean age: 24,06 ±2,21) who took part in the experimental research. The initial test evaluated the flexibility of the ischiocrural muscles flexibility of the right lower limb (RLL), followed by the application of tissue flossing for 90 seconds on the right thigh. After releasing the flossband, a control test was performed to evaluate the flexibility of the ischiocrural muscles of the RLL. The elavulation of the change in blood flow was assessed using the Medicap Précisé 8008 device, and the change of the ischiocrural muscles flexibility was measured by the size of the Black's popliteal angle. The data obtained were processed using the mathematical software R. For the data analysis descriptive statistics were used and a paired t-test was used to determine statistical significance at a significance level of 0,05. Results: Significant changes in blood flow...

Long-term vascular access for home parenteral nutrition and their complications
Králová, Petra ; Novák, František (advisor) ; Hocková, Jana (referee)
Home parenteral nutrition is a treatment enabling the patients with intestinal failure to live their lifes in their home environment. The possibility to commence and practise home parenteral nutrition requires not only a medical and pharmaceutical team, but also paramedical staff, which plays a signifiant part mainly in education of the patient and his close relatives. The study's aim was to characterize the patients involved in the home parenteral nutrition programme (HPN) and catheters used for this purpose and as well to analyze complication rate of the long term catheters related to their use and subsequent care. Into the retrospective quantitative study were included patiens treated with home parenteral nutrition since january 2009 to september 2015 within one nutrition care center. Data collection was realized by research in medical documentation. Altogether 135 patients were included in the study (93 female and 42 male), who have hade 227 catheters inserted in total (114 portcatheters, 73 Broviac catheters and 40 PICC) with 86 187 catheter days. The most frequent basic disease was cancer (36%) and the most prevalent indication to HPN was a short bowel syndrome (50%). Overall complication rate was 2,12/1000 catheter days (1,62 catheter sepsis, identically local infections and thrombotic...

Case study of a physiotherapeutic treatment of a patient after total hip replacement
Králová, Petra ; Martínek, Milan (advisor) ; Nováková, Tereza (referee)
Author: Petra Králová Title: The case study of a physiotherapeutic treatment of a patient after total hip replacement Objectives: The objectives of this bachelor's thesis is to provide theoretical framework, to assess problematics of implantation of total hip arthroplasty and to introduce case study of a patient after total hip replacement and its subsequent rehabilitation care. Summary: The thesis is devided into two parts - general and specialized. General part provides conceptual framework and builds on existing literature of anatomy, kinesiology and biomechanics of the hip joint. It further informs about the most common diseases affecting the joint and analyzes problematics of total hip replacement for coxarthrosis. It serves as theoretical framework for second part. The specialized part contains a case study of a patient after total hip replacement and following rehabilitation care. During this case study, the author solely used noninvasive methods and approches, which had been acquired during bachelor's studies at The Faculty of Physical Education and Sport, Charles University. The conluding remarks of the bachelor's thesis include evaluation of the therapy results and effectivenes of each of the therapeutical approaches. Key words: hip joint, total endoprosthesis, osteoarthrosis, rehabilitation

The Trump Metaphors: Comedy News Portrayal of Donald Trump During the 2016 US Presidential Election
Králová, Petra ; Císař, Ondřej (advisor) ; Blokker, Paulus Albertus (referee)
This master's thesis deals with the implications of metaphorical language, which comedy news programs used to portray Donald Trump as a candidate during the 2016 US presidential election. First, the author outlines the most important moments of Donald Trump's presidential campaign, then introduces the comedy news genre as well as three comedy news programs - The Daily Show, Last Week Tonight and Real Time - which are included in the analytical part of the thesis. The thesis continues with the theoretical and methodological chapters, in which conceptual metaphor analysis based on the works of Lakoff, Johnson and Yanow is presented. The metaphor analysis itself, performed on 73 comedy news episodes, reveals that mostly the same metaphors were used across all three programs and they overwhelmingly portray Donald Trump as non-human. As the election kept approaching, Donald Trump was increasingly portrayed as "a natural disaster," "the apocalypse" or "the Devil." The author suggests that the overall tacit objective of the metaphors used in the three comedy news programs was to dehumanize Donald Trump. Finally, the limitations of the analysis are discussed and suggestions for further research on the implications of metaphorical language are made.

Local Foreigners: Space, Identity and Culture of Prague Expats
Králová, Petra ; Grygar, Jakub (advisor) ; Klásková, Markéta (referee)
This thesis focuses on the relationship between space, culture and identity. Its goal is to portray how culture and identity are not necessarily connected to the space that people inhabit. It is based on the work of authors who point out the migrant experience as an example of the "disconnection" of space, culture and identity. The author chose Prague's expat community and carried out qualitative research consisting of 2 participant observations at expat meeting points, 2 interviews with expats themselves and a content analysis of 7 newspaper articles, which mention expats. The author describes the perception of the community through the expats' own words, their interaction with the local society and the nature of their meeting points. The core of the community consists of the culture of Anglophone countries and geopolitical borders penetrate the borders of the community. Expats themselves differentiate between other members of the fellowship based on their (non- )membership in the "expat bubble", e.g. (non-)existence of relationships with the local culture. Through relationships with Czechs and the consumption of Czech history, expats create the image of Czechs as historically oppressed, therefore a withdrawn nation. The identity of meeting points is based on their "expat-friendliness" and...
