The diploma thesis deals with design and development of the system which detects and numbers train carriages in compliance with International Union of Railways. Firstly, methods for correct detection of passing wheel including time records are analysed. Also, the summary of detection sensors used in railway industry is referred. I analyse meaning of each digit in numbering according to the UIC. The system solution is designed and the interaction and communication with other sub-systems is discussed. I put emphasis on the kind of solution that returns as accurate record as possible under any circumstances. The system operates in real time. Further, the results of measuring program are back-tested in order to verify low-deviation of measuring system component. The following section describes program prototype, which processes the recorded data. The algorithms which I used for the detection of wheel and train carriages are described. In the following chapter I discuss the usage of an external camera detecting the numbers in accordance to the UIC. In the last chapter, I describe the test environment in which the solution has been tested, and summarize the results of tests on a real life railway.

In the practical part there is done valuation of selected file of plots in the villages Lešná and Choryně. The valuation is done by three ways: the valuation according to valuation regulations, the yield method and the comparative method. In the conclusion of the thesis there are compared results of all three ways of valuation and there is evaluated profitability of prospective investment to these plots.

There is ussualy used the Masopust's method to assessment the piles in Czech Republic. This method is based on statistical processing of large data set of load piles tests. Due to the using of regression coefficients this method is relatively complicated and not very transparent. Instead, foreign standards ussualy use direct the values of limit stress on the base of piles and unit friction capacity. Procedure for determining the bearing capacity of the piles is thus considerably simplified. In this thesis the Masopust's method is compared with the methods used in Germany and Austria. This comparison provides insight to the safety level that include various approaches.

The topic of the thesis is the development of phonematic hearing in children with impaired verbal communication skills, utilizing the method of Danil Boršovič Eľkonin. It deals with the training of language skills for selected kindergarten children with special needs. The thesis is divided into two parts: theoretical and practical. It summarizes theoretical definitions of basic terms such as language, speech, and communication. It describes disturbed communication abilities and its classification, it deals more with the characteristic of developmental dysphasia. It also deals with the concepts of phonetics and phonology, describes phonematic hearing and phonematic awareness. Last but not least, it outlines D.B. Elkonin's personality and his methodology. The practical part is of a qualitative character, which will give us access to the analysis of methodological procedures that we chose for this analysis. It describes five children with impaired communication skills throughout the training. Five children were selected for the research and for 6 months they were purposefully and regularly developed phonematic hearing by means of the D.B. Elkonin method. The research theses deal with the difference between input and output values of phonematic awareness. The results were carefully recorded in the...

1 UNIVERZITA KARLOVA V PRAZE FAKULTA HUMANITNÍCH STUDIÍ Katedra genderových studií IVANA TAŠEVSKÁ Porovnání situace matek a otců pečujících o děti formou střídavé péče v České republice Diplomová práce Vedoucí práce: Ing. Petr Pavlík, Ph.D. PRAHA 2011 2 ABSTRACT Split-up of family is not a gender-neutral phenomenon. In most cases, children are confided to the care of mother after the split-up. The family law recognizes also other forms of care, but both joint-custody parenting is rarely used in the Czech Republic. However, there is a tendency to change the state affairs in recent years. Supporters and opponents of joint custody voice their arguments in the public sphere, but relatively little attention has been paid so far to those who are supposed practice joint custody parenting, the parents. That is why, the focus of my research has been a comparison of experience of mothers and fathers practicing joint custody of their children in the Czech Republic. Concretely, I wanted to study whether, similarly with foreign studies, the mothers and the fathers experience joint custody differently. For example, whether the fathers have received a bigger support from their family and friends than have the mothers and whether the fathers experience less financial stress than the mothers. My research is explorative...

The purpose of this study was to examine any differences that may exist among demographic variables such as gender, age, and race in regard to internalization of society and media messages leading to body dissatisfaction that may lead to disordered eating behaviors such as preoccupation with weight, dieting, and eating restraint. A total of 324 participants completed the demographic questionnaire, the Multidimensional Body Self Relations Questionnaire, the Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Questionnaire for women, the Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Questionnaire-Revised-Male-Version for men, and Rotter’s Internal-External (I-E) Locus of Control Scale. The results of this study found, as predicted, that Caucasians reported higher internalization, higher body dissatisfaction, and higher preoccupation with weight, dieting, and eating restraint than African Americans. This study showed no differences regarding men’s and women’s internalization or body dissatisfaction but did reveal that women reported higher preoccupation with weight, dieting, and eating restraint than men. Regarding age, this study found that age did not predict internalization, body dissatisfaction, or preoccupation with weight, dieting, and eating restraint.

Contexte. La pandémie de la COVID-19 a amené son lot de détresse psychologique chez les travailleurs de la santé et des services sociaux (TSSS) du Québec. Ceux-ci se trouvaient déjà à risque d’éprouver des difficultés de santé mentale avant la pandémie, étant exposés à plusieurs événements critiques dans leur travail quotidien. Parallèlement à cette réalité, la pandémie a été très médiatisée et des points de presse quotidiens animés par la santé publique et le gouvernement étaient diffusés sur plusieurs plates-formes d’informations. Les études montrent que l’exposition médiatique à des traumas collectifs, tel que la COVID-19, est associée à des niveaux de détresse psychologique plus élevés chez la population générale. Les femmes sont aussi susceptibles de vivre des niveaux plus élevés de détresse psychologique que les hommes. Or, aucune étude ne fait état de l’impact de l’exposition aux médias sur la détresse psychologique vécue chez les TSSS en contexte de pandémie, ni en général. Objectifs. (1) Mesurer l’impact du degré d’exposition aux médias sur l’évolution de la détresse psychologique des TSSS pendant 37 semaines. (2) Mesurer l’effet modérateur du sexe biologique sur la relation entre le degré d’exposition aux médias et la détresse psychologique des TSSS. Méthode. Le devis est longitudinal, étant une étude de cohorte prospective. Ce sont 830 TSSS québécois qui ont participé à l’étude pendant les 1ière et 2ième vagues de la COVID-19, de mai 2020 à janvier 2021. La détresse psychologique, définie par des symptômes dépressifs et anxieux, a été mesurée à l’aide du PHQ-9 et du GAD-7. Des analyses statistiques à l’aide du modèle linéaire mixte ont été effectuées. Résultats. (1) Les TSSS qui se sont beaucoup ou énormément exposés aux médias rapportent un nombre significativement plus élevé de symptômes dépressifs que ceux étant très peu exposés. Les TSSS qui se sont beaucoup exposés aux médias rapportent un nombre significativement plus élevé de symptômes anxieux que ceux étant très peu exposés. (2) Il n’y a pas de différence significative entre les hommes et les femmes quant à la détresse psychologique vécue en fonction du degré d’exposition aux médias. Conclusions. Des campagnes de sensibilisation et d’éducation devraient être effectuées dans le réseau de la santé et des services sociaux quant à l’exposition aux médias des TSSS afin de ne pas créer de détresse psychologique inutile à ces derniers. L’exploration d’un temps limite d’exposition et du type de médias à privilégier constituent des pistes de recherches intéressantes pour la prévention de la détresse psychologique. / Context. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought its share of psychological distress to Quebec’s health and social services workers (HSSWs). These workers were already at risk of experiencing mental health issues prior to the pandemic, as they were exposed to several critical events in their daily work. Along with this reality, the pandemic was highly publicized, with daily press briefings by public health and other government officials being broadcast on several news platforms. Studies show that media exposure to mass trauma, such as COVID-19, is associated with higher levels of psychological distress in the general population. Women are also likely to experience higher levels of psychological distress than men. Yet, there are no studies reporting on the impact of media exposure on psychological distress experienced among HSSWs during the pandemic, or in general. Objectives. (1) To measure the impact of media exposure level on changes in psychological distress among HSSWs over 37 weeks. (2) To measure the moderating effect of biological sex on the relationship between media exposure level and psychological distress among HSSWs. Method. The design was longitudinal, being a prospective cohort study. A total of 830 Quebec’s HSSWs participated in the study during waves 1 and 2 of COVID-19, from May 2020 to January 2021. Psychological distress, conceptualized as depression and anxiety symptoms, was measured using the PHQ-9 and GAD-7. Statistical analyses using linear mixed models were performed. Results. (1) HSSWs who considered themselves often or greatly exposed to media reported significantly more depression symptoms than those who considered themselves rarely exposed. HSSWs who considered themselves often exposed to media reported significantly more anxiety symptoms than those who considered themselves rarely exposed. (2) There was no significant difference between men and women in experienced psychological distress as a function of media exposure level. Conclusions. Awareness and education campaigns should be carried out in the health and social services network regarding the media exposure of HSSWs in order to avoid creating unnecessary psychological distress for them. The exploration of a limit exposure time and the type of media to be favored are interesting avenues of research to prevent psychological distress.

The diploma thesis deals with the influence of Elkonin's method on phonological abilities in preschool age. In the term of content, the thesis is divided into two main parts - teoretical and empirical. The first main part creates a theoretical framework of the selected topic and is further divided into four chapters. First, the basic terminology - speech and language - are defined and the ontogenesis of human speech is conceptualized in more detail. The next chapter describes the phonological skills. There is also a distinction between phonological and phonemic awareness and a possible diagnosis of the field of phonological processing. Above all, the Battery of Tests of Phonological Abilities (by the authors Seidlová Málková and Caravolas) is described, because it was used for the needs of the research. The third chapter characterizes the methodology of D. B. Elkonin. The last chapter approaches school maturity and its diagnosis. The empirical part has a qualitative character and its main purpose of the researche is to analyze the influence of Elkonin's method on the phonological abilities of preschool children. From the research methods the analysis of the results of the activity, the analysis of the documents, the observation and the elaboration of the case study were used. Four preschool...
