The main aim was to discover how the print will act if used as a finish treatment of furniture element by testing according to Czech standards. This thesis in theoretical part deals with fine face veneer manufacturing, demands on input raw material, describes procedures and technologies used in veneer manufacturing process. Then, it deals with spliced veneer problematics, especially factors which influence their quality. There is a brief overview of the worldwide production of veneers during years 2007 – 2017, also of import and export of veneer sheets to / from Czech Republic. In practical part, there were carried out tests of surface finish treatments according to chosen Czech standards, which were then analysed in accordance to ČSN 91 0102. Used samples were veneered, treated by oil – wax finishing and then printed. One of the tests was resistance to light – realized in climatic chamber for artificial aging (3 variants – each for 250 hours; first to simulate exterior conditions, second interior conditions and third interior conditions with high humidity). The requirements of the standard were not met in test of resistance to wet heat (change grade 3) and in case of resistance of light – almost all colours (except white and black) had greater value of total colour difference ΔE* than required in standard – more than 3,4 ± 0,4.

The diploma thesis deals with antibacterial properties of kitchen worktops surface finishes. The thesis compares the antibacterial, physical-mechanical, utility and appearance properties of various surface treatments on solid wood of oak, acacia and pear wood. The research was carried out on alkydurethane and water-borne varnish. Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus were used for the assesment of antibacterial activity. The thesis describes the risks associated with microorganisms and kitchen environment. Furthermore, the requirements for surface finishes of kitchen worktops were analyzed.

This diploma thesis deals with the issue of appropriate surface treatment for wooden floors in public interiors. The materials used in this thesis are coniferous (spruce) and foliate (beech and oak) types of wood which has been treated with four different kinds of transparent coating. The evaluation of the most appropriate coating for a particular kind of wood is based on laboratory experiments focused on physical-mechanical, chemical and microbiological properties.

This thesis deals with the problems which are associated with protective, physical-mechanical eventualy aesthetic characteristics changes of acacia wood finishes, depending on the atmospheric conditions in exterior. Under the influence of atmospheric conditions, such as weather conditions, moisture, sunlight and temperature changing, there are changes on the finishes. The extent of these changes are compared there to depending on the orientation to the cardinal. The work is based on practical measurements on test plane and molded samples in two different shades of water-based paints. These paints are different by the ratio of the pigments in the paints. These test samples has been exposed to atmospheric conditions at the four cardinal for ten months. The values of measurements, which were realised each month during the exposing, were compared with reference samples, which were stored in a dark place without air exposure all the time.

This final thesis deals with the quality of surface finishes of table tops manufactured in the system of industrial production and follows the requirements of applicable standards for testing. The most often used materials in production of table tops were chosen for testing of the quality. As the foundation material for finishing by coating with paint were selected components particle board, MDF and HDF (on honeycomb or particle board) in different thicknesses. Surface of desks finished in crude state or with decorating material in the form of veneer or spliced veneers. Additional surface finish were done using pigmented and transparent coating materials. Coating materials on the basis of acrylic UV, alkyd-PUR, acrylic-PUR and 1C WB dispersion were used. During finalizing by transparent coatings surfaces were finished using either waterborne or solvent-based stains. Individual layers of coatings of systems of surface finishes were given by chosen technology and by the type of coating material. Technology, which was selected for applying of coating materials, was roller coating and spraying by HVLP system. After surface completion and relaxation, physical-mechanical testing were performed on the individual testing samples of surface finishes. This testing was subsequently evaluated based on requirements of relevant norms. Individual testing samples of surfaces were divided into groups based on finishing method and type of surface finishes (pigment/transparent). Outcome of the work is the evaluation of given systems of surface finishes from the perspective of suitable utilization for table tops.

This diploma thesis deals mainly with utilization of plasma in technological aplications. The introductory part is apllied to the theoretical description of plasma generated by the surfatron. This launcher works with the frequency of 2,45 GHz and it is able to excite the surface wave, that sustains plasma column in a quartz tube. Plasma generated by surfatron was used for modification of surface properties of polyethylen to change its surface energy. By changing of surface energy it was reached of higher hydrophilicity. Plasma generated by surfatron was diagnosed in detail during experiments in a continual regime as well as in a pulse one with a help of a single {--} probe and a double {--} probe Langmuir measurement. In this diploma thesis there is discussed influence of pressure, power and other experimental options.

Title: The Influence of the Dance Sport on Poise Objectives: The main goal of this diploma work is the creation of coordination maps of selected muscular structures in the body, its evaluation and assessment of the impact of the dance sport on poise. The research deals with the kinesiological analysis of muscle activation affecting postural stabilization of the dance couple. Methods: Method of the surface electromyography combinated with kinematography analysis used synchronized video recording has intended level of postural muscle activity in dance. Results: Interpretation of the coordination maps selected muscular structures was founded that dance sport may result in muscle imbalances in the torso. Keywords: Dance sport, Poise, Surface electromyography, Posture, Muscle disbalance

Purposes: The aim of the thesis is to compare muscle timing in pelves area using EMG during free bipedal walk and during the walk with special sticks. Methods: Surface electromyography combinated with kinematografy analysis used synchronized video recording. Results: It Managed to prove different muscle timing at Nordic walking and at free walk. It was proved lower activity of stabilization muscles at walk with sticks. Key words: Nordic walking, surface electromyography, stabilization muscles, kinematics analysis, bipedal locomotion

Title: An electromyographical analysis of the influence of water environment on the rehabilitation of patients with Parkinson's disease Aims: The main aim of this Master's thesis was to compare electrical activity of selected muscles of patients with Parkinson's disease via electromyography during gate aground and in water environment. Furhter aim was to determine co-contraction level of leg muscles of patients with Parkinson's disease during gait aground and in water environment. Methods: This thesis is a case study, which was conducted on five probands, two of which were men and three women of age 67,4±7,1. With the use of surface electromyography, an activity was evaluated of m.tibialis anterior, m.gastrocnemius, m. rectus femoris, m. biceps femoris and mm. erectores spinae in place of Th -L junction. Acquired EMG signal was analized and then a standarized level of muscle activity during gait in different environments was evaluated, aground and in water, and afterward a dynamic co-contraction level was evaluated. Results: The results show consistent standardized activity of monitored muscles in water environment, which describes a chronic influence of pathological central program accompanying Parkinson's disease, where a change in coordination pattern is not observed, typical for movement in...
