This thesis thematically deals with Uzbek minority in Prague, which was formed during the last two decades. Main part contain and analyze the structure of the Uzbek minority, and I used the statistics concerning number, working and educational activities, gender representation, territorial decomposition, crime and infringements of residential regime of Uzbek immigrants. I focus also on determination of expanse and method of integration in the majority society environment, patterns of behavior and thinking and culture aspects of everyday life in the minority group. From the research methods I use survey, in-depth interviews and participant observation. I place emphasis on the definition of "push" and "pull" factors of immigration. In addition, I document how the Uzbek Immigrants assess social and cultural environment of the host country, their attitudes and opinions to the people of the Czech Republic and members of other nationalities, especially to those with whom they come in a host country usually in contact, and how they integrate in the Czech environment. I also pay big attention to the changes that took place in the Uzbek community during life in the Czech Republic, including the period after 2008 due to the recession of Czech economy and restrict working opportunities and perspectives....

Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Pharmaceutical Botany and Ecology Candidate: Bc. Blanka Kaluzsná Supervisor: Prof. RNDr. Lubomír Opletal, CSc. Title of Diploma Thesis: Biological activity of plant metabolites XXIII. alkaloids of Corydalis cava (l.) Schweigg. & Körte and their effect on acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase An ether extract which contained tertiary basic alkaloids was prepared from the dry bulb of Corydalis cava (L.) SCHWEIGG. & KÖRTE. A subfaction labeled 2/B was obtained by column chromatography and crystallization. Three alkaloids were isolated by preparative TLC and they were identified by GC/MS and 1 H a 13 C NMR analyzes as (+)-canadine, (+)-tetrahydropalmatine and domestine. Isolated alkaloids were tested by spectrophotometric Ellman method for inhibitory activity against human erythrocyte acetylcholinesterase (HuAChE) and plasma butyrylcholinesterase (HuBuChE). In comparison with the refernce substances, from these isolated alkaloids only (+)-canadine showed an relatively high inhibitory activity against HuAChE (12,4 µM). (+)-Tetrahydropalmatine and (+)-domestine had no significant inhibitory activity in this direction, against both HuAChE and HuBuChE. Key words: Corydalis cava, (+)-canadine, (+)-tetrahydropalmatine,...

Vítovcová, A.: Biological activity of secondary plants metabolites IV. Alkaloids of Vinca minor L. Diploma thesis, Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové, Department of Pharmaceutical Botany and Ecology, Hradec Králové 2016. Extract of Vinca minor L. was separated to fractions in column chromatography. Flash chromatography, preparative TLC and crystalisation led to isolation of two alkaloids from fraction number two and number five. Alkaloids were identified by GC/MS as (+)-vincaminorine and vincorine. These alkaloids were tested for their inhibition activity towards cholinesterase (AChE and BuChe). Obtained activities IC50 were compared with standards (galanthamine, huperzine A). The most interesting activity against galanthamine (AChE 1,710 ± 0,065 µM, BuChE 42,30 ± 1,30 µM) and huperzine A (AChE 0,033 ± 0,001 µM, BuChE > 1000 µM) showed vincorine (AChE > 1000 µM, BuChE 9,75 ± 0,45 µM). His activity toward BuChE is higher than the activity of both standards. Inhibition activities of (+)-vincaminorine (AChE 746,5 ± 84,13 µM, BuChE 684,32 ± 70,66 µM) are negligible. Key words: Alzheimerʼs disease, cholinesterase, Apocynaceae, Vinca minor L., indole alkaloids

1 ABSTRACT Kučerová J.: Biological activity of secondary plants metabolites VI. Alkaloids of Vinca minor L. Diploma thesis, Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové, Department of pharmaceutical botany and ecology, Hradec Králové 2016, 67 pages. Isolation of alkaloids was done from extract of Vinca minor, family Apocynaceae. Individual substances obtained were examined for their ability to inhibit human acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase. The basic extract was after an initial extraction with 95% ethanol pre-purified by extraction with chloroform. This chloroform extract was divided further by column chromatography on a total of 531 fractions. The fractions obtained were, based on the similarities identified by thin layer chromatography, interconnected in a final number of 17 fractions. The mobile phase for column chromatography were mixtures of chloroform and medical gasoline, chloroform and ethanol, and ethanol itself. For further testing were used fractions number 2 and 5. From the fraction 2 was by preparative thin layer chromatography and subsequent crystallization isolated substance number 1. After analysis of this substance by GC/MS was found that it is a (+) - vincaminorein. Further was examined it's biological activity towards cholinesterases, which found a...

Title: Influence of crank arm length on change of muscle tone of musculus triceps surae Objectives: The aim of this thesis is to conclude the theoretical knowledge of this issue. The experiment is to uncover via the objective results, if the change of the crank arm length can influence the muscle tone of m.triceps surae and additionaly how much. Methods: The measurement for this thesis was processed at Charles University at the Faculty of Physical Activity and Sports, measuring 8 volunteers. Via myotonometry, the biomechanic properties (stiffness and viscosity) of m.triceps surae were measured before and after the workout on a bicycle ergometer. These steps were repeated twice within a week with different crank arm length (170mm and 175mm). On the basis of the reaction of soft tissues on deformation from the tip of the myotonometer, the graphs are depicted, containing the hysteresis curve. We evaluate there two phenomenons - steepness and the content of the curves. They indicate biomechanic properties of soft tissues, resp. also the muscle tissue. Results: The measurements from the 1st and 2nd week were compared. The results of 8 probands show that cycling as a physical activity changes stiffness and viscosity of m. triceps surae and has therefore an influence on the muscle tone. Considering larger...

Topic: Intervention Program for Weight Reduction in Adults Goals: The aim of this thesis is to devise as well as implement an intervention program covering exercise and dietary regimes for individuals that are overweight or obese. The goal also involves verifying the effectiveness by measuring various anthropometric parameters. Methods: The monitoring activities covered the period from 2.2. 2015 until 3.8. 2015. The intervention sample involved 9 individuals aged between 26 and 59. The sample was composed of three women and six men. The intervention program lasted for three weeks and I measured the weight using a normal personal weight and the waist circumference using a measuring tape. Results: The intervention program had a positive impact on the individuals that were involved. This resulted in decreased weight and a reduction in the weight circumference. The average loss of weight was 2.1 kg and the average waist circumference reduction was 2.4 cm. Thanks to the intervention program, the monitored anthropometric values were reduced. However, it also lead to the people achieving a better relationship towards physical activity and increased their awareness of the principles of a healthy diet. Keywords: overweight, obesity, physical activity, nutrition, weight, energy balance

Title: Attitudes and opinions of the adolescents at the age of 15 - 18 to the sport and movement activities Objectives: The establishment and comparaison of the opinions and attitudes to movement activities and sport in teenagers was the main objective of this thesis. PASA questionnaire focused on15 - 18 years old secondary schools students was applied. Methods: A method of the written interviewing using PASA questionnaire was used. This questionnaire was widespread some 15 years ago, yet we made a pre- testing sample and some questions were modified. By means of the PASA questionnaire we asked about opinions and attitudes of the adolescents concerning the movement acitivities and sport in light of the psycho-social, real movement and sport activities, of the exploitation of the available physical education and sport facilities etc. The research was effected at selected secondary schools in the Czech Republic. Results: The obtained data were statistically processed and the results are presented in the aggregate tables stating the statistically significant differencies between sex, age groups. A part of the thesis is the comparaison of our result with a research carried out in 2000 (Slepička et. al., 2001). Key words: adolescent, physical activity, sports, interviews, secondary school
