A Counterexample to a Conjecture of D. B. Fuks
No full textIn [3] D. B. Fuks defined a duality of functors in the category
of weak homotopy types. In general this duality is
more difficult to work with than the duality of functors of the category
of pointed Kelley spaces [2]. It happens however
that all so-called strong functors [2] F of induce functors of

Philosophy inspiration in selected works by Ladislav Fuks
No full textThe aim of this diploma theses is to find philosophical, religious and ideological motifs in the work of Ladislav Fuks and subsequently interpret their origin, intertextuality and meaning in the text. The emphasis is put on proving the semantic functionality in the story. For our research, we have selected following works: Mr. Theodore Mundstock, The Cremator, and Addressing from the Darkness. We will study philosophical and theological literature, as well as materials from the archives and from the estate of Ladislav Fuks in order to base all the findings on the biographical author, too. The thesis is divided into five chapters. In the first chapter we deal with basic literary characteristics of the selected books and their literary reception. The second chapter discusses Ladislav Fuks' relationship to philosophy, being anchored in both his friends' testimonies and the archival research of his estate. The third chapter is the most important and the most comprehensive one since it deals with the interpretation of philosophical motifs in each of the selected books. In the fourth chapter we compare individual philosophical motifs from different works with each other. We summarize the findings at the end of the theses

Ladislav Fuks and his work from the perspective of psychobiography
No full textThe aim of this bachelor's thesis is to understand the personality of the writer Ladislav Fuks using a psychobiographical approach. The thesis will incorporate selected works from his literary production, in which some taboo subjects from his private life are projected. The interpretation will be based on Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic concept of psychosexual development. The theoretical part of the thesis will be devoted to an explanation of the psychobiographical approach and to information about selected phenomena of Freud's psychoanalytic theory. The thesis will also include the compilation of a detailed biography of the author. Information regarding biographical data will be drawn from primary sources (the author's memoirs) and secondary literature. The study of texts about Ladislav Fuks will serve not only to gain knowledge but also to discover themes and motifs not yet sufficiently reflected upon. On this basis, an adequate text corpus will be created, compiled from selected fictional works by Ladislav Fuks. These texts will first be presented in terms of content (with an emphasis on selected motifs), then in the research part, subjected to analysis using the qualitative method of coding (the thesis will also include visualization in tables). Categories will be created from the set of codes,..

Two Faces of Ladislav Fuks
No full textTéma mojí bakalářské práce se zabývá osobností Ladislava Fukse a jeho dvěma knihami. Vybral jsem si známější román Spalovač mrtvol v porovnání s méně známým dílem Křišťálový pantoflíček. V práci jsem vytvořil autorův miniportrét a ukázal jeho světlé i stinné stránky. Poté jsem provedl analýzu jeho dvou knih a přidal kritické ohlasy a recenze. V poslední kapitole jsem vysvětlil, proč má pro mě Křišťálový pantoflíček podobnou hodnotu jako Spalovač mrtvol.ObhájenoThe topic of my Undergraduate thesis deals with the famous Czech writer Ladislav Fuks and his two books - The Cremator (in Czech Spalovač mrtvol) and The Crystal Shoe (in Czech Křišťálový pantoflíček). I have introduced the author and showed his pros, cons and influences. Then I have analyzed the books and tried to show the specific features of his writings. I have mentioned other interpretations, too. In the las chapter I have explained why The Crystal Shoe has the same importance for me as The Cremator
Path to effortlessness: Mauricio Fuks' pedagogical perspectives on the art of violin playing
No full textFor Mauricio Fuks, Rudy Professor of Violin at Indiana University Jacobs School of Music, effortlessness in violin playing has more implications than mere technical facility. It is the aesthetic ideal and the essence of the finest artisanship that may lead to true artistic freedom in playing. The concept of effortlessness in Professor Fuks’ teaching practice involves the paradoxical project of making an effort to play effortlessly, to obtain a degree of violin mastery in which playing is full of intensity and free of needless tension, and to achieve the technical virtuosity as nonchalance or Sprezzatura, an essential foundation in one’s endeavor to reach the highest level of artistry. His meticulous yet plainly elucidated instructions on the physiology of violin playing and its relationship to the mental process not only eradicate any hindrance to attaining technical effortlessness but also reveal the path to self-discovery and artistic identity. My project in this document is to describe how Professor Fuks’ teaching brings this technical and aesthetical ideal about
Timing of Perioperative Chemotherapy Does Not Influence Long-Term Outcome of Patients Undergoing Combined Laparoscopic Colorectal and Liver Resection in Selected Upfront Resectable Synchronous Liver Metastases
No full textBackground: The aim of this study was to compare patients undergoing combined colorectal and hepatic surgery with and without neoadjuvant chemotherapy to clarify the prognostic advantage of preoperative oncological treatment in a case-matched analysis using propensity scores and to identify factors predictive of good prognosis in a selected population of Synchronous ColoRectal Liver Metastases (SCRLM). Methods: A total of 73 patients who underwent upfront elective combined surgery without preoperative CT for SCRLM in two European tertiary referral centers were selected and constituted the study group (NoNACT group). The NoNACT group was matched (ratio 1:1) with patients who were operated after chemotherapy with neoadjuvant intent (NACT group, the control group). The matching was achieved based on six covariates representative of patients and disease characteristics. Results: While the characteristics of both colorectal and hepatic procedures were similar, the NoNACT group, as compared to the NACT group, had lower blood loss (200 mL vs. 550 mL). Postoperative stay (9 vs. 12 days) and morbidity rate (24.7% vs. 32.9%) were reduced in the NoNACT compared with the NACT group. Mid- and long-term outcomes were comparable. At multivariable analysis, predictors of long-term outcome were: right colonic neoplasms, RAS mutational status, CRS score ≥3 and the absence of perioperative chemotherapy. Conclusion: Preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with colorectal cancer and synchronous resectable liver metastases does not influence the risk of recurrence in patients with favorable tumor biology, while it was associated with increased intraoperative blood loss and morbidity. There is no strong evidence to recommend upfront chemotherapy in the absence of negative prognostic factors
