Bytový interiér pro nevidomé
Martineková, Daniela
This thesis is divided into two parts. The first, theoretical part deals mainly with the research on the levels of visual impairment and orientation of the blind in space. In the next chapters of the theoretical part, we learn about the different compensatory aids they can use in their everyday life and the requirements for the interior and its furnishing elements. In the second, practical part, the thesis focuses on my suggestions for limiting the selected collision points. These suggestions are then assessed by a blind person, Mr. Josef Konečný. This is followed by an evaluation of the functionality and feasibility of the selected proposals with a final discussion and contribution to practice.

Separate movement and spatial orientation of children with visual impairment in preschool education
JANDEJSKOVÁ, Tereza
The thesis deals with the problematic of preschool age children with visual impairment and that with emphasis on their spatial orientation and their independent movement. The basic premise to independent life of a person with visual impairment and its orientation and independent movement mostly in known but also unknown environment and that with utilization of compensatory aids or accompanying person. To make the orientation of the person as efficient as possible it is necessary to develop it in early age of a child. Thesis in this way mostly focuses on the development of this skill through its training. The objective of the whole thesis is to describe visual impairment of children in preschool education, their spatial orientation and then creation of proposals of educational units focused exactly on development of spatial orientation and the individual movement of these preschool children with impairment. These activities were intentionally chosen with purpose to develop the preconditions which are necessary for independent movement of a child.

Labyrinths - in the role of an instrument developping space and plane orientation of pre-school child
Černá, Lenka ; Kaslová, Michaela (advisor) ; Kvasz, Ladislav (referee)
The aim of the thesis is to determine whether the practice of using a graded series of labyrinths affect their final solution, hence the orientation in the plane, check the level of understanding of labyrinths and determine whether the sex of children affect the resulting solution. Thus, the work environment uses of labyrinths to develop a structured orientation in a limited space for pre-school children aged five to six (seven) years. The theoretical part characterizes preschool child and explains the context pre- mathematical literacy and orientation in space/plane with the delegation on labyrinthsurthermore, the labyrinths of focus in terms of historical, semantic and didactic.Furthermore, the labyrinths of focus in terms of historical, semantic and didactic. The practical part describes research which in obtaining information from the set of samples used structured observations and findings to the final results of the comparative analysis. They are discussed in connection with: the needs of the child and their saturation; orientation in space/plane; problem situation; interactions of teachers and children. KEY WORDS Pre-school children, pre-mathematical literacy, space orientation, plane orientation, labyrinths, applied methods and phormes of solution.

Spatial orientation in Odonata
Hupková, Lenka ; Černý, Martin (advisor) ; Sacherová, Veronika (referee)
The aim of this review is to evaluate and sum up an existing knowledge about spatial orientation of dragonflies, particularly at small and medium spatial scales. I deal mostly with orientation by horizontally polarized light, which belongs among the most explored field of orientation of Odonata; beside that I explore an orientation of dragonflies during the habitat selection and within their home ranges / territories. Regarding the latter, I pay an attention namely to the function of spatial landmarks, which has not been yet fully explored and offers a lot of opportunities for further research (like many other orientation topics of Odonata). I also briefly discuss an orientation of dragonflies during migrations. Besides the visual orientation I mention the orientation by olfactory sense, tough Odonata was concerned anosmic for a long time. Key words: spatial orientation, visual orientation, dragonflies, Odonata, landmarks

Immediate early genes as a tool for study of spatial orientation and memory
Bláhová, Veronika ; Němec, Pavel (advisor) ; Telenský, Petr (referee)
Properties of the environment, spatial orientation cues and time-shifting movements are essential for cognitive maps. The understanding of how both space and the animal's position within that space are represented in the brain has been significantly advanced by the discoveries of four principal neuronal types: the place cells, the head direction cells, the grid cells and border cells. Their activity being driven by both allothetic (visual and non-visual landmarks), and idiothetic cues (internal movement cues based on proprioceptive and vestibular information). Brain regions containing aforementioned types of neurons constitute complex spatial representation system. Immediate early genes (IEGs) and their products became sophisticated tool for the study of neural substrate of spatial orientation including magnetic orientation. For further research it is unavoidable to uncover the dynamic of processes related to IEGs in order to better understanding the functions of brain centres involved in rodent navigation circuit. This work summarises our knowledge about spatial orientation of the vertebrates aimed at rodents, in context with detection of IEGs expression as activity markers in neural substrate. There are described most common experimental mazes and most frequent detection methods used in connection with...

Somatognostic functions and spatial memory in patients with failled back surgery syndrome
Křikavová, Alena ; Lepšíková, Magdaléna (advisor) ; Petrová, Naďěžda (referee)
Aim: The aim of this thesis is both evaluate a somatognosis quality and consider rate of personality dimensions in patients with FBSS. Methods: 30 patients with FBSS and 25 probands of healthy control group were examinated in laboratory of spatial cognition called Blue Velvet Arena. They underwent spatial navigation task and body scheme tests. We made comparative analysis of these measurements between groups. We evaluated personality dimensions in patients group, by using NEO personality inventory and Petrie test. Finally we consider relationships of these variables and another related factors. Results: Signicant difference between patient's group and control group was found both in spatial navigation task and body scheme tests. In spatial navigation task control group had lower results compared to the patient's group. In body scheme tests was found reverse results. We found high correlation of body scheme with age, pain duration and activity level. There was high percentage of underestimating probands and probands with high score of conscientiousness. Error rate (judgement out of tolerance zone) was higher in patient's group compared to the control group. Conclusions: Our results states that patients with FBSS have lower quality of somatognosis in light of body scheme. We hypothesise, that body...

Platform for spatial navigation research in virtual reality
Galajda, Martin ; Bída, Michal (advisor) ; Gemrot, Jakub (referee)
The Department of Neurophysiology of the Memory of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic (UAV) has for several years been researching experiments to monitor the impact of various stages of Alzheimer's disease on patients' cognitive abilities. For this purpose, SpaNav was developed almost 9 years ago in cooperation of the UAV with the MFF UK. The system currently hits its technical limits given by possibilities of the time when it was created. The aim of this work is to introduce a new system that will remove the limits of the original system and allow research to continue. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
