Italian noun denoting colors and their collocations - a corpus analysis

The subject of this thesis is to investigate the Italian names of colours, placing them into context and issue of translation of the names of colours into Czech. The thesis has two parts. The first part theoretical deals in general with colours and colour terms, colour perception, symbologies, research and etymology. This thesis also analyse the process of colour perception throughout history and in the evolution of humans. In the practical part we will then get through five subdivisions to the terms from the area of biology (the names of plants and animals), in which there occurs any of Italian names of colours then we get to idiomatic expressions, uniting with the verb, comparison and collocation, in which there also occur terms indicating colours. In all of these five areas, we analyse similarity between the two languages by using analogous databases in Czech language and translation into Czech language. The aim of this thesis is delimitation of colour terms in the Italian language, their definition, putting into context, confrontation of loose and established closer links and also their comparison with Czech

Multiword expressions in Italian with special reference to the type N da N (ferro da stiro, campo da tennis etc.)

Subject of this bachelor work is studying of compound words and multi-word expressions primarily of type N da N. The work has two parts. Theoretical part deal with definition of compound words and multi-word expressions, their origin, types of classification and their qualities in general. In last chapter is focused directly on type N da N. In analytical part there is a sample of 100 multi-word expressions which is inspected from the point of view of typology of substantives, relations between them, functions and meaning of preposition "da" and then a confrontation with multi-word expressions of this type but with another preposition. The aim of the work si to define the qualities of multi-word expressions primarily of type N da N. Then is necessary to compare these expressions with some similar expressions with another preposition. At last there is a confrontation between free formations and set phrases

Linking aberrant glycosylation of plasma glycoproteins with progression of myelodysplastic syndromes: a study based on plasmonic biosensor and lectin array

Abstract Aberrant glycosylation of glycoproteins has been linked with various pathologies. Therefore, understanding the relationship between aberrant glycosylation patterns and the onset and progression of the disease is an important research goal that may provide insights into cancer diagnosis and new therapy development. In this study, we use a surface plasmon resonance imaging biosensor and a lectin array to investigate aberrant glycosylation patterns associated with oncohematological disease—myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). In particular, we detected the interaction between the lectins and glycoproteins present in the blood plasma of patients (three MDS subgroups with different risks of progression to acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and AML patients) and healthy controls. The interaction with lectins from Aleuria aurantia (AAL) and Erythrina cristagalli was more pronounced for plasma samples of the MDS and AML patients, and there was a significant difference between the sensor response to the interaction of AAL with blood plasma from low and medium-risk MDS patients and healthy controls. Our data also suggest that progression from MDS to AML is accompanied by sialylation of glycoproteins and increased levels of truncated O-glycans and that the number of lectins that allow discriminating different stages of disease increases as the disease progresses
