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

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..
Local norms and private provision to environmental public goods
No full textCette thèse examine les effets des normes locales sur les comportements pro-environnementaux. Nous avons réalisé une méta-analyse d’études sur les nudges normes sociales afin de comparer la différence d’effet de nudges norme sociale locale et globale. L’échantillon sur lequel se base la méta-analyse ne permet pas d’observer une distinction significative entre les deux normes. Nous postulons que de travaux complémentaires sont nécessaires afin de renforcer la base de données et affiner les résultats. Nous avons ensuite développé un modèle de réciprocité locale au sein d’un réseau d’individus placés en groupes, appelés communautés, ainsi que mis en place une expérimentation en laboratoire pour corroborer les résultats du modèle. Nous montrons que les individus contribuent de manière complémentaire avec leurs voisins et que lorsque deux individus de chaque groupe peuvent s’observer, une diffusion partielle de comportement peut avoir lieu entre groupes. Enfin, nous avons montré par la méthode des choix discrets lors d’une étude menée à Phnom Penh au Cambodge que les individus ont une préférence pour les normes locales concernant le tri des déchets organiques. Un fort sentiment d'appartenance au groupe de référence local pourrait contribuer à ce résultat. Les résultats de la thèse soulignent donc l'importance d’adapter les interventions publiques aux groupes locaux, de renforcer le sentiment d'appartenance communautaire, et d'intégrer des stratégies de réciprocité locale dans les politiques de gestion des biens publics.This thesis investigates the influence of local norms on pro-environmental behavior. A meta-analysis of social norm nudge interventions was conducted to compare the differential impact of local and global social norm nudges. The sample on which the meta- analysis is based does not permit the identification of a significant distinction between the two norms. It is proposed that further work is required in order to reinforce the database and to refine the results. Subsequently, a model of local reciprocity within a network of individuals situated in groups, designated as communities, was constructed, and a laboratory experiment was conducted to corroborate the results of the model. The findings demonstrate that individuals contribute in a complementary manner to their neighbors and that when two individuals from each group are able to observe each other, a partial diffusion of behavior can occur between groups. Finally, employing the discrete choice method, our study conducted in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, demonstrated that individuals exhibited a preference for local norms for sorting organic waste. A stronger sense of belonging to the local reference group may contribute to this result. The findings of the thesis thus emphasize the necessity of adapting public interventions to local groups, reinforcing the sense of community belonging, and integrating local reciprocity strategies into public goods management policies

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
Multivariate Pareto distribution
