Effect of Kinesio Taping on lower back pain
No full textANOTATION Author: Lucie Klesalova Institution: Rehabilition clinic LF in Hradec Kralove Name of the bachelor's thesis: Effects of Kinesio Taping on lower back pain Supervisor: Mgr. Zuzana Hamarova Number of pages: 70 Nuber of annexes: 19 Year: 2015 Key words: kinesiotape, effects of Kinesio Taping, techniques of Kinesio Taping, lowerback pain This bachelor thesis is focused on the theoretical overview of the method of Kinesio Taping. It introduces the effects and ways of kinesiotape applications, it points to the possible indications and contraindications for this method. The practical part examines a set of 15 probands with a lower back pain. The aim was to evaluate whether a single application of kinesiotape could reduce pain in the lower back. The data was collected through questionnaires and kinesiological examination. The results were recorded for better clarity in graphs and tables
Crimp in socialization of people with cerebral palsy
No full textTITLE: Crimp in socialization of people with cerebral palsy AUTHOR: Lucie Falcníková DEPARTMENT: Department of Special Education SUPERVISOR: doc. PaedDr. Vanda Hájková, Ph.D. ABSTRACT: The work is aimed at integration of people with disabilities into society. The aimis to capture and describe one of the most important parts in everyone's lives -integration not only in the class group but also approximation to the socialization into a whole society. The thesis is dividend into two parts.There are theoretical and practical parts. In the theoretical part we can find definitiv of cerebral palsy, its causes, incidence and forms. We also deal with socialization in different areas, whitch most affect the lives of respondents. The last komponent of the theoretical part is the isme of communication of children with cerebral palsy. The practical part describes the methods and results of research which captures socialization of respondents, especially thein perception of socialization. There search methodis a structured interview with open questions. KEYWORDS: Cerebralpalsy, dysarthria, socializationofthechildwithdisabilities, disabiliti, barrier

Application of chromatographic methods for the separation of metabolites of cholesterol
No full textAuthor: Bc. Lucie Tetrevová Title: The application of chromatographic methods for separtion metabolites of cholesterol Language: czech The proposed diploma thesis deals with the development and validation of analytical method for free and esterified cholesterol separation from blood serum and adrenal tissue samples. This method is neccessary due to the different metabolism of free and esterified cholesterol in the body and it enables the research of these particular pathways using stable isotope tracers. The solid phase extraction method was chosen, optimised and validated with following results: precision values 2.14% for serum cholesterol ester, 6.98% for tissue cholesterol esters, 2.91% for serum free cholesterol, 7.48% for tissue free cholesterol, limit of detection 1 mol/l and linear range 1-25 mmol/l were found. The stability of the derivative was tested for 30 days at temperatures 4 C and -25 C. The derivative was found to be stable for the whole time period in both temperatures. Laboratory temperature was not tested due to a high volatility of the solvent used. The developed method was used in experimental studies evaluating the influence of dietary cholesterol and septic shock to cholesterol synthesis rate
Lyme borreliosis
No full textAuthor: Lucie Kohoutova Title: Lyme borreliosis (Diploma thesis) University: Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Kralove Field of study: Pharmacy Background: We investigated the presence of Lyme disease in the area of Havlickuv Brod based on laboratory diagnostics of specific or non- specific antibodies in the blood serum and in the liquor. The aim was to define typical laboratory signs of illness and recommend racional methods in diagnosis of Lyme disease. Methods: We used the data from Havlickuv Brod hospital laboratory of immunology. Patients were dividend into the groups according to the results of basic tests (if there were immunoglobulines type M and type G in serum or liquor), sex, age, the day of blood collection, code of diagnosis, patient's doctor and the type of running tests (ELISA, westernblot). These groups were compared. Patients with at least one positive result in basic tests and with any of additional test at the same time were divided in compliance with relations amongst these types of tests. We tried to determine appropriate interval between taking samples during monitoring the dynamics of the disease by contribution- based method. Results: More threatned by Lyme borreliosis are older women and people over the age of fifty- five. The highest number of new..
The Bornhuetter-Ferguson method, parameter estimation and prediction error
No full textThis diploma thesis describes the Bornhuetter-Ferguson method, which is used to calculate the IBNR reserve. It is divided into deterministic and stochastic parts. The deterministic part deals with the derivation of development pattern and ultimate loss amount, which are needed to calculate the reserve. The stochastic part deals with reserve estimation error and prediction error. The calculation results of the reserve estimate and its error are compared with the results of the chain ladder method. The last chapter deals with the problematic areas of the described method

Relation between dramatic text and inscenation
No full textLucie Kryzová in her thesis addresses the issue of the relation between dramatic text and inscenation. The work is divided into two parts ? theoretical and practical. Firstly, used terminology is defined in the theoretical part. The author deals with crucial theories of Czech theater science (Jiří Veltruský and Otakar Zich?s work). Subsequently, she explores when a controversial relation between dramatic text and scenic piece is created, addresses the directors? apriorism and investigates the question of stylization of visualized theater. The second part has rather personal touch as it deals with author?s personal experience. Lucie tries to apply the findings from the theoretical part in her own work. She describes six semesters of her undergraduate studies of Directory-Dramaturgy
The Abstract Author
No full textThe Bachelor's thesis focuses on the concept of so called abstract author. It deals with various forms of abstract author's subject developed in literary theory and narratology: scriptor of R. Barthes, implied author of W. Booth, model author of U. Eco or abstract author of W. Schmid. Futher, the differences between the concepts and the polemics that accompany them (Chatman, Rimmon-Kenanová etc.) are reflected
The Customer Commodity: An Analysis of Power Relations Between Companies and Consumers
No full textFrom the Faculty Nominator: While Orwell’s concept of “Big Brother” has served as the dominant metaphor for modern surveillance and concentrated power, in reality contemporary surveillance practices are better represented by the idea of “little brothers” and distributed powers. We often bristle at what we perceive as the intrusiveness of big government into our daily lives, but it is really more characteristic of big business. Large trans-national corporations collect vast amounts of detailed information on populations, consumers, customers, and clients to better enhance their efficiency, predictability and control in a globally competitive market. The databases that result from such data entries become tremendously valuable in themselves and are sold or cross-matched through a dense network of information brokering. Those whose personal information is collected, most often without their knowledge, become abstracted data-subjects housed in impersonal grids of dataveillance. The portent of this exponentially increasing information trove is the subject of Lucie Ferguson’s sober study of the “consumer as commodity.”“The Customer Commodity” is the culmination of a semester’s study of commercial surveillance methods. After being given the broader topic of surveillance to research, I looked for a more specific theme that was applicable to my own life. What I found was that surveillance has a very relevant role as a tool of businesses worldwide. It is used to learn about consumers in order to target them more accurately and gain greater profit. This observation and analysis of our purchasing habits affects us as consumers every day, whether we realize it or not. Consequently, I felt the topic was useful not only in defining what surveillance is but in showing that it is germane to anyone who takes part in modern society. After describing and categorizing the surveillance methods of businesses, “The Customer Commodity” looks at the importance of being aware of your data footprint and how it is usedhttp://blogs.goucher.edu/verge/5-2
