Liveness Detection of a Hand
Vanický, Jozef ; Kanich, Ondřej (referee) ; Sakin, Martin (advisor)
This thesis solves the security problem of biometric systems which uses biometric data of a hand. It focuses on the absence of liveness detection during verification of a sample by the biometric system. In result this thesis offers to extend the contactless biometric systems by a system of liveness detection, which utilizes specific properties of human skin and its reactions to certain wavelengths of the visible spectrum of electromagnetic radiation. Reactions of the skin on the specific wavelengths of visible spectrum are analyzed and compared with the reactions of inorganic materials which imitates the hand. Outcome of this thesis is a design and implementation of a liveness detection algorithm, which can, based on the analysis of a set of photographs of the human palm, which was exposed to four wavelengths of a visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum, successfully recognize a hand from a counterfeit with an average accuracy rate of 82.20 %.

Anti-aging cosmetics - latest activ substances of natural origin
Fleková, Andrea ; Vítová, Eva (referee) ; Souralová Popelková, Miriam (advisor)
The present diploma thesis is focused on the selected anti-aging substances in cosmetic products. The literature research provided us with the knowledge of essential skin characteristics and factors influencing the aging process. Furthermore, the thesis describes the basic physical forms of cosmetic products, the basic cosmetic materials and the current trends in the usage of anti-aging substances. The experimental part subsumes altogether four physical forms of cosmetic products – tonics, serums, masks and creams. In this work was testid a new anti-aging compound, developer by French company SOLABIA, which provided the company Miša a Harašta s.r.o. (M+H). It has tested four components: Fucogel, Camaderm Gly, Viniderm and Omega Ceramid. These anti-aging substances were addend to the four technology cosmetic form, which were prepared in our laboratory. Subsequently, the pH stability of the products was measured together with the rheological measuring and skin hydration measuring. All of the samples proved to be pH stable. The highest stability of viscosity and consistence was identified for masks and creams. It was found out that the added anti-aging substances have no impact on the stability of pH, viscosity and consistency. The skin hydration measuring proved that the anti-aging substances Vinidem and Camadem Gly have the greatest moisturising qualities.

Methods of evaluation of selected cosmetics
Sládková, Veronika ; Sýsová, Lenka (referee) ; Zemanová, Jana (advisor)
This thesis is devided into two parts. The aim of the first – theoretical – part was to become acquainted with the composition, the importance and the physiology of the skin, with different types and masks in connection with the skin care. The theoretical part deals with the function of particular ingredients contained in selected cosmetics described in research literature and also with methods from which cosmetics can be evaluated. Olive oil is the most described component because it is an important ingredient for all cosmetics this study deals with. The second – experimental – part is focused on evaluating the influence of hydratation of these cosmetics. Hydratation was measured by Courage & Khazaka MPA 5 device, which is based on the capacitance measurement of the condenser. Then, the methodic evaluation of hydratation was made up and the aim of the experimental part was to proove this methodic´s accuracy and to elaborate acquired results.

Bioactive peptides as a component of anti-aging cosmetics
Jatzová, Katarína ; Obruča, Stanislav (referee) ; Muthný,, Tomáš (advisor)
Ageing is a natural part of every human life cycle. During ageing there are lots of changes in the organism. One of the main pillars of the cosmetics industry is the development of active compounds that are fighting signs of skin ageing. The components as bioactive peptides are considered to be promising anti-ageing products, mainly because of the possibility to precisely define their chemical structure and therefore achieve more effective biological targeting. One of the signs of skin ageing is the weakening of the connections between epidermal cells and the extracellular matrix, decreasing expression of adhesion molecules and molecular components of dermo-epidermal connection. The most abundant adhesive receptors in the skin are integrins. Their ligands are extracellular matrix molecules, e. g. laminin or fibronectin. The minimal recognition sequence of integrins receptors is the amino acid motif arginine- glycine- aspartic acid (RGD). This sequence is also very interesting in terms of cosmetic applications because it provides the ability to create new and effective bioactive peptides. The subject of present work is basic safety testing of four peptides with RGD motif. A sequence of three peptides was modified by addition of glycine amino acids, or alanine. The expected effect was to improve interaction with integrin receptors. In each of the sample, levels of endotoxin was determined in order to exclude any possible interfering effects on the viability of cells. Subsequently, in NIH3T3 mouse fibroblasts viability was monitored by MTT assay and morphology. The quantity of obtained protein had been determined to increase data interpretation relevance.
