Uzavřený prostor duše v příbězích E. A. Poea a Chrise Priestleyho
KARVÁNKOVÁ, Iva
2024 - English
Náplní diplomové práce je srovnávací analýza vybraných děl E. A. Poea a Chrise Priestleyho. Práce se zaměřuje především na téma uzavřeného prostoru a jeho působení na psychické stavy postav. První část práce se zabývá vývojem angloamerické gotické literatury a charakteristikou dětské fantastické literatury. Dále představuje život vybraných spisovatelů a hlavní témata v jejich tvorbě. Vlastní analýza obsahuje porovnání funkce uzavřeného prostoru v dílech obou zkoumaných autorů. Pozornost je věnována především propojení tohoto prostoru s tísnivými stavy duše. Interpretace se zaměřuje na konkrétní příklady vnitřního i vnějšího prostoru a na popis hororové atmosféry. The diploma thesis deals with the comparative analysis of selected works by E. A. Poe and Chris Priestley. The thesis focuses primarily on the theme of the closed space and its effect on the psychological states of the characters. The first part of the thesis deals with the basic features of the development of Anglo-American Gothic literature and the characteristics of children's fantasy literature. It also introduces the lives of Poe and Priestley and the main themes in their works. The analysis compares the function of the closed space in the works of both authors. Attention is paid to the connection of this type of space and the oppressive states of the soul. The interpretation focuses on particular examples of the inner and outer space and on the description of the horror atmosphere.

Reprodukční užitkovost v chovu prasnic
AIDELOMON, Emmanuel Onosimuan
2024 - English
Cílem diplomové práce bylo analyzovat úroveň reprodukční užitkovosti prasnic. Byla shromážděna a analyzována data 1 013 záznamů prasnic (plemene large white a hybridních prasnic plemen large white a landrase) z vybraného chovu za časové období čtyř let (2019 až 2022). Do sledování byly zařazené prasnice na 1. až 7. vrhu, které byly rozdělené do následujících kategorií - 1. a 2. vrh (1); 3. až 5. vrh (2) a 6. a 7. vrh (3). Prasnice byly chované ve stáji s řízeným klimatem, byly očkované podle vakcinačního programu chovu a krmené na základě nutričních požadavků. Voda byla prasnicím dostupná prostřednictvím systému napáječek ad libitum. Byly sledovány vlivy působící na počet všech a živě narozených selat, a to pořadí vrhu, sezóna při prvním zapuštění, genotyp, věk při prvním porodu, délka březosti, délka mezidobí, interval od odstavu do zabřeznutí, rok zapuštění a kanec. Data byla analyzována pomocí softwaru Statistika.12, TIBCO. Statisticky významný vliv (P < 0,05) byl pozorován mezi skupinou 1 (1. a 2. vrh) a skupinou 2 (3. až 5. vrh) pro všechna a živě narozená selata s nejvyšší hodnotou ve skupině 2 (3. až 5. vrh), poté počet selat zaznamenal pokles. Počet všech a živě narozených selat byl zjištěný nejvyšší u prasnic zapuštěných v letních měsících a nejnižší u prasnic zapuštěných na podzim (statisticky nevýznamné rozdíly). Nejvyšší počet všech narozených selat měly prasnice LW L a nejvyšší počet živě narozených selat měly prasnice LW. Statisticky významně nižší počet všech a živě narozených selat měly kříženky L LW. Plodnost prasnic při prvním porodu ve věku 361-381 dní se statisticky významně lišila od prasnic s prvním porodem ve věku < 361 dnů. U prasnic s prvním porodem ve věku > 381 dnů došlo ke snížení počtu všech a živě narozených selat ve srovnání s prasnicemi ve věku 361-381 dní při prvním porodu, ale rozdíl nebyl statisticky významný. Vyšší hodnoty v počtu všech i živě narozených selat byly zaznamenány u prasnic s délkou březosti 114 dnů ve srovnání s prasnicemi s délkou březosti 115 dnů (statisticky nevýznamný vliv). Takže čím vyšší počet selat byl ve vrhu, tím kratší byla délka březosti. Vyšší počet všech i živě narozených selat byl zjištěn u prasnic s délkou mezidobí 146 dnů ve srovnání s prasnicemi s délkou mezidobí 147 dní, ale rozdíl nebyl statisticky významný. Počet všech i živě narozených selat u prasnic s intervalem od odstavu do zapuštění 4 dny se statisticky významně lišil od prasnic s intervalem od odstavu do zapuštění 5 dnů. Nejvyšší počet všech i živě narozených selat byl zaznamenán v roce 2022 a nejnižší počet selat v roce 2019. Počet všech a živě narozených selat v roce 2022 se statisticky významně lišil od počtu selat v letech 2019 a 2020. Závěrem lze konstatovat, že výsledky sledování naznačily, že jako indikátory reprodukční užitkovosti prasnic lze u prasnic použít pořadí vrhu, genotyp, věk při prvním porodu, interval od odstavu do zabřeznutí a kanec. Analýza také poskytla základ pro budoucí vývoj benchmarkingu ke sledování a zlepšování reprodukční užitkovosti ve stádech prasnic. The objective of this study was to analyse the level of reproductive efficiency of sows. Data of 1013 records of sows between 2019 to 2022 from a commercial herd were collected and analysed (Large White and cross between Large White and Landrace sows). Sows ranged from parity 1 to 7 with the number of parity grouped into 1-2 (1); 3-5 (2); 6-7 (3). Sows were raised in well-ventilated pens and were vaccinated according to the veterinarian's recommendations and sows were well-fed to meet their nutritional requirement. Water was available ad libitum via the drinking nipple system. All-born piglets and live-born piglets were analysed by monitoring the influence of parity, season at first conception, genotype, age at first farrowing, gestation length, farrowing interval, weaning-to-conception interval, year of conception and boar. Data were analysed using Statistika.12, TIBCO software package. Significant influence (P < 0.05) was observed between parity group 1 (parity 1-2) and parity group 2 (parity 3-5) for all-born piglets and live-born piglets with the highest value at parity group 2 (parity 3-5) and decreasing thereafter. Prolificacy (all-born piglets and live-born piglets) appeared highest in animals during the summer months and the lowest in autumn (statistically unconfirmed differences). Crossing sows between Large White and Landrace produced the highest number of all-born piglets, and sow Large White produced the highest number of live-born piglets. Crossing sows between Landrace and Large White produced a statistically lower number of piglets. Prolificacy at 361-381 days (age of first farrowing) was significantly different from < 361 days. There was reduction in number of all-born piglets and live-born piglets for above > 381 days when compared to 361-381 but it was not different statistically. Higher value was recorded for gestation length of 114 days compared to 115 days in all-born piglets and live-born piglets (but no significant influence). The mean of all-born piglets and live-born piglets shows that the larger the litter is, the shorter the gestation length becomes. Farrowing interval for 146 days had a high mean value for both all-born piglets and live-born piglets compared to 147 days but no significant influence. Weaning to conception interval for 4 days is significantly different from 5 days in all-live born piglets. The highest average for all-born piglets and live-born piglets was recorded in 2022 and the lowest was recorded in 2019. Result for 2022 was significantly different from 2019 and 2020 results. In conclusion, this study showed that sow parity, genotype, age at first farrowing, weaning to conception interval and boar can be used as indicators of reproductive performance. Furthermore, this study has provided the basis for future development of a benchmarking tool to monitor and improve productivity in sow herds.

God's Unity and God's Relational Character in the Thinking and Biblical Interpretation of Philo Judaeus
LANDOVÁ, Barbora
2024 - English
Diplomová práce analyzuje, jak se helénský židovský filosof, Filón Alexandrijský, vypořádává s pasážemi v Bibli, ve kterých je Bůh antropomorfizován. Práce se snaží představit dva světy uvnitř Filónovy osoby, svět filosofie a Bible, přičemž oba jsou zásadní pro jeho myšlení, ačkoli přináší odlišné podání Boha. Cílem práce je zjistit, jakým způsobem Filón, zastávaje filosofický koncept neměnného Boha, řeší ty pasáže v Bibli, při kterých se zdá, že je Boží charakter proměnlivý. Práce přichází s hypotézou, že vyobrazení Boha je svázáno s literárním žánrem, který Filón použije, když o Bohu mluví. V úvahu jsou vzaty Filónovy tři práce - Quod Deus sit Immutabilis, Quaestiones et Solutiones in Genesin et Exodum a De Vita Mosis, zatímco je rozlišováno mezi jejich odlišnými žánry. The thesis analyzes how the Hellenistic Jewish philosopher Philo of Alexandria deals with passages in the Bible where God experiences any kind of human emotions. It aims to present the two sides of Philo's persona - the Greek and the Jewish. These two worlds (the world of philosophy and that of the Bible) are constituent for Philo's thinking, however, they also provide a distinct rendering of God. The aim is to ascertain how Philo deals with passages in the Bible where God seems to have a changeable character while holding a strong philosophical concept of him. The thesis adheres to the hypothesis that his depiction of God is bound to the literary genre he applies when rendering God. It takes into consideration Philo's Quod Deus sit Immutabilis, Quaestiones et Solutiones in Genesin et Exodum and De Vita Mosis while differentiating between their distinct literary genres.

Oligomerization state and pigment contents of algal light-harvesting proteins
MALINOVÁ, Kateřina
2023 - English
Light-harvesting antennas (LHCs) from four microalgae species (diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum, haptophyte Emiliania huxleyi, and two eustigmatophytes Nannochloropsis oceanica and Trachydiscus minutus) were studied. LHCs were extracted and purified using sucrose gradient ultracentrifugation and ion-exchange chromatography. Oligomerization states of LHCs were assessed using two independent methods - CN-PAGE and size-exclusion chromatography. Effects of the purification on LHC pigment composition was assessed using HPLC.

GRATZL, Sascha
2023 - English
The aim of the thesis was to characterize the ubiquitin ligase BIRC6 in several contexts. The goal was to expand the knowledge on the selectivity of E1-E2 recognition, to increase the known substrate range of BIRC6, and to elucidate the molecular interactions fulfilled by BIRC6 during autophagy via interaction with GABARAP. In addition, it was aimed to gain a better understanding on the general ubiquitination mechanism in E2/E3 hybrid enzymes, to identify the ubiquitination sites of known apoptotic and autophagic substrates and to enlighten substrate recognition by BIRC6.

Red-backed shrike (\kur{Lanius collurio}) versus Common cuckoo (\kur{Cuculus canorus}): Clutch variability and egg recognition
KRAUSOVÁ, Ladislava
2023 - English
V této práci jsem pomocí fotografie testoval variabilitu vajec ťuhýka obecného (Lanius collurio) uvnitř snůšky a porovnával ji s variabilitou vajec mezi snůškami. Byl hodnocen vliv barvy, velikosti, objemu a makulace a chromatických a achromatických kontrastů. Dále jsem testovala schopnost ťuhýka obecného rozpoznávat umělá kukaččí vejce a umělá vejce ťuhýka obecného, vyhodnotila jsem míru odmítání těchto vajec a porovnala ji s mírou odmítání konspecifických vajec. Ukázala jsem, že u všech měřených parametrů mají ťuhýci nízkou vnitrosnůškovou variabilitu a vysokou mezisnůškovou variabilitu. Tato variabilita může být adaptací proti hnízdnímu parazitismu. Kromě toho jsem zjistila, že schopnost ťuhýků rozpoznat a odmítnout parazitické vejce je výrazně vyšší, než se očekávalo. In this work, using photography, I tested the red-backed shrike (Lanius collurio) intraclutch egg variability and compared it with the interclutch egg variability. The effect of colour, size, volume and maculation as well as chromatic and achromatic contrasts were evaluated. Moreover, I tested ability of the red-backed shrike to recognize artificial cuckoo eggs and artificial shrike eggs, evaluate the rejection rate of these eggs, and compare it with the rejection rate of conspecific eggs. I showed that shrikes have low intraclutch variability and high interclutch variability in all measured parameters. Such variability might be an adaptation against brood parasitism. In addition, I found out that the shrikes' ability to recognize and reject a parasitic egg is significantly higher than expected.

Intraspecific trait variability of herbaceous plants in organic and conventional olive plantations in region at desertification risk
MIGLIORINO, Michele
2023 - English
This thesis is an ecological study in an agricultural context (agroecological research). It is carried out in olive plantations in south Italy, Apulia, a region at strong desertification risk. The effect of agricultural management (organic vs. conventional) is investigated on i) the herbaceous species composition ii) intraspecific trait variability of five selected herbaceous plants iii) soil conditions. Herbaceous plants are here considered as "indicators" of olive plantations' health. Studying if and how species traits and soil parameters vary with management, should reveal how olive understory grasslands are responding to increasing drought conditions and other desertification constraints. Management of grasslands and soils is critical to maintain high ecological functionality and services of olive agroecosystems.
