The diploma thesis deals with the issue of health inequality in the selected population group, which is focused on the elderly. The main objective of the thesis was to examine the characteristics of health inequalities in the selected group of seniors from 60 to 74 years and to identify the existing inequalities in the individual groups as well as the differences between the groups. In the theoretical part was described the issue concerning age inequalities, its causes and consequences. In the practical part of the thesis, this phenomenon was specifically examined on a selected set of respondents at Senior Otrokovice - Seniors Home and in their own homes in Otrokovice. To obtain the data to achieve the goals and verify the hypotheses, a quantitative research survey was used using the anonymous questionnaire method. These were standardized rates of ADL and IADL (Barthel index), then the VAS scale to measure pain intensity was used. Five hypotheses were identified for the research. Quantitative research was evaluated using the statistical program. Research has shown that gender is not a significant change in the perception of one's own health, and also the physical self-sufficiency does not differ according to gender. It has been found that perception of one's own health and physical self-sufficiency depends on whether the person resides in the residential care or in their own household. It was also found that the amount of retirement pension is not gender-based or age-dependent.

This matrices, inhospitable or not, affect countless ecological process, like dispersal. One of the ways to understand this effect of matrix on dispersal is studying animal?s perceptual range. Which is a range at which an animal perceive landscape elements. This perception is directly connected to the success to reach a new habitat patch while animals navigate through matrix. To contribute to this knowledge we evaluate the habitat perception of Heliconius erato. However, we were also interest in evaluate the effect of butterflies age and matrix type on its perception. Consequently, we raised butterflies on laboratory and matched with butterflies from forest during a release experiment. To determinate perceptual range, we did releases in two different matrices at three distances from forest (0, 30 and 100 meters) and measured the final angle reached for butterflies. We found that: I) butterflies released in edge were strongly oriented to forest; II) than higher the release distance the lower perceptual ability and III) there is an interaction between age and matrix type. Na?ve butterflies oriented better on open field (perceptual range: 30-100 meters and experienced oriented better at coconut plantation (perceptual range: 30-100 meters). / Paisagens naturais tem sido afetadas dramaticamente pela perda de habitat e fragmenta??o, os quais transformam paisagens cont?nuas em manchas de habitat circundadas por ?reas de n?o-habitat (matrizes). Essas matrizes, in?spitas ou n?o, afetam incont?veis processos ecol?gicos, como a dispers?o. Uma das formas de compreender o efeito da matriz no processo de dispers?o ? estudando o alcance da percep??o do habitat dos animais, o qual ? definido como o alcance (dist?ncia) em que um animal pode perceber elementos da paisagem. Essa percep??o est? diretamente relacionada ao sucesso de chegada ? um novo habitat, enquanto o animal navega por uma matriz. N?s avaliamos a percep??o do habitat em Heliconius erato, uma borboleta tropical. Entretanto n?s tamb?m est?vamos interessados em avaliar o efeito da idade das borboletas e do tipo de matriz na percep??o do habitat. Consequentemente, n?s criamos borboletas em laborat?rio e pareamos com borboletas coletadas na floresta durante um experimento de soltura. Para determinar o alcance da percep??o, n?s realizamos solturas em duas diferentes matrizes (coqueiral e campo em regenera??o) ? tr?s dist?ncias da floresta (0,30 e 100 metros) e medimos o ?ngulo final alcan?ado pelas borboletas. N?s encontramos que (I) borboletas soltas na borda se orientaram fortemente para a floresta; (II) quanto maior a dist?ncia de soltura, menor a habilidade de perceber o habitat e (III) h? intera??o entre matriz e idade da borboleta. Borboletas inexperientes se orientaram melhor no campo aberto (alcance da percep??o: 30-100 metros) e experientes se orientaram melhor no coqueiral (alcance da percep??o entre 30-100 metros).

Atualmente, os fabricantes de ve?culos flex recomendam o abastecimento com etanol, caso o valor deste n?o ultrapasse 70% do valor da gasolina comum, entretanto, os ve?culos com a tecnologia flex, possibilitam operar com qualquer percentual de mistura no tanque de combust?vel, por?m, hoje, muitos dos propriet?rios desses ve?culos n?o utilizam esse recurso com efici?ncia, por desconhecerem essa possibilidade de mistura ou pela raz?o de n?o existir um estudo mais profundo em rela??o ao percentual ideal da mistura que proporcione um maior rendimento com um custo inferior ao proposto pelos fabricantes. / This study is an analysis, on a trial basis, the fuel consumption of a Flex vehicle, operating with different mixtures of gasoline and ethanol in urban traffic, allowing more consistent results with the reality of the driver. Considering that most owners unaware of the possibility of mixing the fuel at the time of supply, thus enabling the choice of the most economically viable mixing gasoline / ethanol, resulting in lower costs and possibly a decrease in pollutant emission rates. Currently, there is a myth created by the people that supply ethanol only becomes viable if the value of not more than 70% of regular gasoline. However vehicles with this technology make it possible to operate with any percentage of mixture in the fuel tank, but today many of the owners of these vehicles do not use this feature effectively, because they ignore the possibility of mixing or the reason there is a deeper study regarding the optimal percentage of the mixture to provide a higher yield with a lower cost than proposed by the manufacturers.

The thesis deals with gender analysis of New exercise book of the German grammar by Doris Dusilova et. al. The first chapter introduces basic sociological terminology. In the second chapter, gender stereotypic verbal expressions are discussed. The theoretical part of the thesis is concluded with the discussion on gender problematic in educational environment and with the compilation of basic rules for gender-aware teaching. The thesis provides a detailed analysis of diverse life situations focusing on the feminin/masculine standpoint. Among others, professional life, household care, free-time activities and appearance loci are investigated. Practical part of the thesis features a questionnaire adopted in a survey of several elementary schools and secondary schools. The survey was designed in order to validate whether the understanding of common social situations reflects gender-stereotypic beliefs. Finally, the summary of conclusions is provided, derived from the survey and situation analysis.

Annotation This work is interested in the late philosophy of Jan Patočka. The leading idea is to find basic motives in Patočka{\crq}s concept of The care of soul, and tries to make a connection to his life and social context. One of the most important expressions of the social reality is art. Jan Patočka{\crq}s continuing theme was the problem of human exsitence. How to live an authentic life. The post modern art is also interested in being authentic. The man according to Patočka is a personality determined by going out of his self and by finding this self from a different point of view. That is the question for performing arts: How to express the inside to be visible, how to make it a partner of a dialogue? Which means that Jan Patočka{\crq}s philosophy can be realized by some special kind of praxis. A praxis which is not practical as such. In the works of Jan Patočka, Being and social role play a substantial role. The problem of narration {--} a myth as a part of the process of young man{\crq}s identification and his acceptance from the society. The question of how to be a part of a society implicates another one: what are the foundations of society? What is the idea of European society? Questions concerning the heritage of Europe are {--} in anticipation {--} questions about the sense of Europe (or the European Union) today. In general, is there a possibility to live together, in any kind of human comunity? Through society he gets back to individuality with its questions. Patočka tries to ask concrete questions, expecting answers from Being itself. What is important: he doesn{\crq}t want to make a comprehensive system (following the example of Platón), he only urgently seeks the questions which can open the Being's truth. The sources: This work uses Jan Patočka`s texts from the 1970s. It compares them with texts from the field of art and tries to find their historical context.

The institutional care problematic is a topical subject, as many mentally retarded people in the Czech Republic are dependent on such care. However, the institutional care has many liabilities, which can have negative influence on the personality development of these individuals. That{\crq}s why it{\crq}s essential to focus on humanization of the current inward facilities, while applying modern approaches to mentally affected people. In my pursuit, I analyzed the services provided by individual institutions for disordered people (daily or weekly care homes in some cases) in the South Bohemia region. I focused especially on the range of available current methods and forms, which develop personalities of the disordered people. This relates to the possibility of applying work and other specific therapies, but also involves other fields, such as the quality of living, education, worthwhile spending of leisure time and respecting bio-psycho-social needs of the clients. Assertion of these principles leads to personality development of the clients, increases the quality of their lives and generally contributes to the humanization of the institutional care. In order to find the corresponding information, we have used the method of questioning, the technique of controlled interview and the technique of questionnaire. The target file for proving the hypothesis were - when using the controlled interview - chosen leaders of institutes of social care (mostly directors of such establishments), for questionnaires home{\crq}s employees (mostly instructors and persons employed in social services), who enforced some of their actual methods of work and forms of personality development of mentally affected persons. The results of the research have shown that the most commonly used method of personality development besides education is ergotherapy and operational therapy. The facilities also use plenty of forms of rehabilitation including hipotherapy. Often used methods also are artetherapy, music therapy and also very common are canistherapy and logopedics. Dramatherapy, basal stimulation, aromatherapy and dance therapy belong to the group of methods, which are present in lower cases. Moreover, it was found that there are vast differences in the broad offer of these methods between particular establishments. The establishments offer at least three next to the most of ten types of therapies.

My thesis is focused on using ICT (Information and Communication Technology) for teaching about percentage and axial symmetry. Specifically I am using an interactive whiteboard to support my teaching. The thesis is divided into two parts, a theoretical and a practical part. The first part is looking into various teaching methods, use of ICT and the interactive whiteboard in teaching in general. The second part of my thesis contains a workbook I have prepared to support my teaching on the interactive whiteboard and the application of the workbook during lessons for the students on secondary school. I have concluded my thesis with evaluation of my teaching methods and reflective practice.

This Diploma Thesis deals with anglicisms and their frequency in the contemporary Czech language from the point of view of older children at middle school level. It is primarily focused on the understanding and usage of popular and frequent anglicisms. Thesis theoretical part covers general information about language, enriching of the lexicon and it compares Czech language with English. The practical part introduces the results of a questionnaire survey, which was carried out at four elementary schools in the Czech Republic. The aim of the survey was to map the ability of older children at middle school level to understand the English expressions. It was also concerned in their attitudes towards adaptation of words from English. It also touches the usage of anglicisms in the lessons of Czech language at middle school level. Examples of practical exercises are provided. The final part of the Project sums up the reached conclusions. The Diploma Thesis attachments contain the questionnaire and the practical exercises.

The assignment for this thesis is called {\crqq}The Suggestion Of Working Lists For Teaching Algebraic Terms With The Support Of A Computer For Pri- mary Schools{\crqq}. The thesis is divided into four main chapters. In the first chapter I was focused on the support of a computer at a primary school, and with the theoretical issues connected with this topic. In the second part I created a manual for teachers for the program I created. The third part consists of the program itself (A computer game called Mathhill for teaching the algebraic terms at primary schools). The program consists of four individual parts. The whole program is set as a winter scene from the mountains. A menu comes up first, which is the link to the other games. The pupils choose from the links according to what they want, or according to the matter being studied. All games are animated in the same way; the only difference is the subject and the assignments that the pupils solve. Pupils fulfil the individual assignments and according to the success of their results they continue up the mountain. If the result is wrong the program does not let them go further until they get it correct. With most of the assignments pupils can use the help in the upper right corner. One link in the program doesn{\crq}t fulfil a function of the game, this link differs from the others. This one directs us to an animation of algebraic formula, which leads us to a winter mountain chalet, the equipment of which directs us into the individual animation. The first part is a computer game called {\crqq}Repetition{\crqq}; the pupils re- peat operations with numerical terms and they freshen up on the word alge- braic expression. The second part is a computer game called {\crqq}Counting With Expressions{\crqq}; pupils count examples for simplification, adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing of the expressions. The last game part is called {\crqq}Slashed Expressions{\crqq}, where the pupils work in the same way until they re- ach the top of the mountain. These games are divided; therefore the teachers can use them separately. The games are equipped with the help section in case the pupils need it. The last part of the program consists of the animation of the algebraic formula. In this part I animated the individual geometrical constructions of algebraic formula that children learn at primary school. The animation can serve to support the lessons. In the last part of my work I tested the CD at a primary school and I documented and evaluated the results.
