This diploma thesis deals with the implementation of a navigation system Aruba Meridian inside the library of the University of Economics in Prague. The aim was to create a pilot project that is able to analyze the functionality of the Aruba Meridian system in a real environment. Within this project, it was necessary to become more familiar with concepts such as Location intelligence and Geoinformatics to provide a sufficient theoretical base at the same time as an overview of the technologies currently used for indoor navigation. An important goal was also to understand the demands for the implementation of indoor navi-gation and to determine the workflow that formed the basis for the practical part. As part of the practical part, the Aruba Meridian system was implemented in the library environment of the University of Economics in Prague, where it was subsequently tested for its properties. The achievement of these objectives was achieved in several parts. At first, the work is devoted to the brief introduction to the problems and the deeper development of the prop-erties of the individual goals, followed by the critical search of information sources related to this work. The next part deals with the definition of Location intelligence and the basic concepts. This section is followed by an introduction to the technologies used for localiza-tion inside buildings and, subsequently, the definition of rules for the implementation of bluetooth technologies. The last part is practical, where the Aruba Meridian tool and its properties are first introduced, followed by implementation, testing and evaluation. The main benefit of this work is the testing of the Aruba Meridian system in real environment and the evaluation of its functionality as one of the systems for navigation inside buildings, which is still increasing, but they are not particularly used in the Czech Republic.

The text explains the phenomenon of hope from a phenomenological point of view, i tis an explanation of hope and its understanding in the context of human live. We know hope from a Christian perspective, such as salvation salvation, forgiveness, hope for eternal life. In the postmodern age, human existence has changed and hope needs to be thought through in new contexts. The question arises as to what is really hope. Althought it does not seem important, understanding hope and distinguising it is a condition of well-being of the individual and society. Hope must not be an illusion or a mere daily hope of fulfilling our wishes. Hope is above all action, it is not surrender and resignation. True, transcendent hope is born in deep crisis, pain, abandonment, it comes to us in patience, in the act of acceptance, reconciliation. Hope is an awareness of the future in spite of reality. Hope is perseverance, humility and mystery. Hope is joy, it is a force that comes to us from an unidentifiable place, but it spreads everywhere. Hope also relates to the existence of the whole world, to the responsibility for maintaining the conditions of life on Earth, to the dignified and fully lived life of individuals. Hope as a practical consequence in upbringing and education. The phenomenon of hope is analyzed here...

Objectives: Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a non-invasive lesion of an increasing clinical importance. Individual risk assessment is essential for an optimal treatment. Our objective was to identify clinical and molecular characteristics of a subgroup of DCIS with an unfavorable prognosis. Methods: In a population study, we analyzed women with DCIS diagnosed within one mammography screening unit. In the experimental part of this work, we conducted a comparative analysis of five biological markers in normal tissue, DCIS and invasive breast cancer by means of gene expression analysis and analysis of loss of heterozygosity (LOH). Results: We demonstrated a high proportion of pure (no invasive component) DCIS (14.41%) of all breast lesions described as malignant. In our sample, we saw a homogeneous distribution of risk factors without noting a clear pattern identifying high-risk subtypes. We noted significant differences in clinical management of tumors with similar characteristics, which demonstrates the present state of limited use of clinical predictors. In the laboratory experiment, we showed differences in loss of heterozygosity (LOH) between DCIS and invasive breast cancer for BRCA1 (8.69% vs. 44.74%) and BRCA2 (9.52% vs. 45.0%). In contrast, we did not find any differences for p53 (31.82%...

The title: Suitability of integration of individuals with pervasive developmental disorder The aim: The aim of this thesis is to establish whether it is suitable to integrate individuals with pervasive developmental disorder into a mainstream setting Methods: To elicit the suitability of a possible inclusion of 20 children (boys and girls aged 7 to 15) with pervasive developmental disorder (PDD), two sets of questions and a free interview were used. The sets of questions focused on problematic areas specific to individuals with pervasive developmental disorder, such as difficulties in communication, social interaction and imagination. A free interview supplemented the set of questions aimed at educators. Results: The results of the research showed that our sample group of children with PDD would not be suitable for integration with regard to problems with communication, social interaction and imagination. The inclusion is impossible in cases of 30% of individuals, who suffer from selective mutism. These children do not communicate nor co-operate with their educators during the lessons. However, 70% of individuals with PDD could be possibly integrated. Nevertheless, these pupils do not keep up with their non-disabled peers as for the speech content. Regarding to social interaction, the results are...

TITLE: Testing of Selected Students of Jedlicka Institute and Schools by The Testing Battery Fitnessgram and The Comparation of Their Results with Standards of General Population. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to determinate the state of physical fittness of students with special needs using the testing battery Fitnessgram and compare the results with the standards of general population in selected age groups. METHOD: To obtain the data I used the testing battery Fitnessgram and emotional range Visual analogue scale (VAS). RESULTS: Based on the measured data, it was found, that students of Jedlicka Institute and schools in some tests of testing battery Fitnessgram, we selected, are approaching or meet the standards of general population. The standards in the test of Shuttle run didnt meet any student, in the test of measuring the Skinfold half of the students with their values of fat percent met standards, the other half of students was below the line of standards for the general population. All students meet the standards in Curl Up test. Only one student did not pass in Trunk Lift.
