What Is Life and the Definition of Life in the Heart of Science of the 21st Century.
Pavlík, Richard ; Lhotský, Josef (advisor) ; Šolc, Roman (referee)
Phenomenon of life exceeds the science. Definition(s) of this concept should be a basis. This work discusses many sights around the definition of life and searching for the essence of life and it tries to embrace these factors in their entirety by quoting both traditional definitional approaches and the less traditional ones and possibly even futuristic ones. In a shortcut this text analyse instructions on how to define. Considering the extensiveness of the topic this bachelor's thesis touches thoughts of the scientific interdisciplinary framework. Keywords: definition of life, life and non-life transition, anti-definitionism, autopoiesis, cybernetical approach, biosemiosis

Conceptions about the Origin of Life in Science vs. High School Textbooks
Vávrová, Anna ; Dvořáková, Radka (advisor) ; Toman, Jan (referee)
The theory of the origin of life in lessons of biology in secondary schools - this topic is limited on concepts such as abiogenesis, panspermia, creationism, biological and chemical evolution in textbooks. What was written in textbooks years ago is, in many cases, no longer upto date. The aim of this bachelor thesis is to summarize the most recent scientific pieces of knowledge relevant to the topic of the origin of life and ensuingly compare them with the material that is presented to students at secondary schools. This bachelor thesis consists of three parts, where the first is a literary research focused on technical scientific articles dealing with the topic of the origin of life (cell). The following part contains a research of the contents of educational material and textbooks, and I compare the two previous parts in the last one. My effort is to point out information that can already be mistaken or archaic, and are being lectured to students as facts in secondary schools. After comparing the current knowledge with the contents of the textbooks I have used today, I would recommend the actual interpretation to be updated by the information that has been enriched in the past years.
