Age related changes in the central auditory system in the laboratory rat

Age-related hearing loss, presbyacusis, is becoming one of the most common health disabilities in elderly people. Despite intensive research, age-related changes are still poorly understood and, given the continuous aging of the population, it is desirable to improve our knowledge of the mechanisms of presbyacusis. Consequently we decided to study age-related changes that appear in the structure and function of the central auditory system in the brain of experimental animals. In the first experiment we tested the hypothesis that during aging there is substantial decline of GABA-mediated inhibition in the central auditory system of the rat. We evaluated levels of both isoforms of glutamatedecarboxylase (GAD65, GAD67), a key enzyme in GABA synthesis. Western blot analysis revealed an overall decrease in levels of both isoforms in the inferior colliculus as well as the auditory cortex in aged rats. The same pattern was found when we used immunohistochemistry analysis; there was a decrease in the number of GAD65 and GAD67-ir neuronal bodies and a decrease in the density of the labeling. The results were similar for both GAD isoforms and both studied strains - the normally aging Long Evans strain (LE) and the Fischer 344 (F344) strain known for accelerated aging. In the next experiment we evaluated..

International festival Theatre World Brno

This bachelor thesis is aimed at the international festival Theatre World Brno. It is a very young festival, which has huge ambitions for the future, but still is looking for the right way for their implementation. The purpose of this work is to present the emerging cultural event which is trying to profile itself in the context of important cultural events in the Czech Republic, from the perspective of the organizers and thus understand deeper what organizing a festival which is not yet on the cultural map generally involves. The introductory part deals with a necessary theoretical minimum and the brief summary of selected theatre festivals, which could be potential competitors of Theatre World Brno. The following chapters are focused on the festival itself. Ideas leading to its establishing and cultural events preceding the Theatre World Brno festival are presented. The next chapter presents the program committee and institutions involved in organizing this festival. Marketing comprises a large part of this work because it is an essential part of any cultural events. Marketing tools are used to discuss program of the festival, venue, date, pricing and the promotional campaign. This part also deals with the public opinion, which was assessed using a questionnaire survey among the spectators. The focus was not only to verify the right direction of the promotional campaign and effectiveness of the tools, but also overall satisfaction of the festival's audience and pricing politics. Final section is focused on the budget of the festival

Domestic violence from the view of an adolescent

Domestic violence from the view of an adolescent I consider the domestic violence to be one of the cruellest abuses of a man to another man, above all for the reason it happens between close people. It is scary, that in the place, where one should feel the most safely, it comes to a violence and harm. The domestic violence occurs everywhere, regardless the social status, education, age, sex etc. This thesis is focused on adolescents, because I am interested in the fact what information and views they have and how much they are interested in the problem of the domestic violence. Then I focused a part of the thesis on an opinion of adolescents on the corporal punishment during the upbringing. The punishments in the upbringing are increasingly becoming a more discussed and hot topic and there are many different opinions on them. The theoretical part was aimed for relevant information related to the domestic violence and the upbringing. A main goal of the thesis was to map an awareness of adolescents on the issue of the domestic violence; a partial goal was to find out their views on the corporal punishments in the upbringing. At the same time the thesis examined two advanced hypotheses. An interrogation method by the help of questionnaires was chosen to verify the hypotheses. They were addressed to adolescents aged from 17 to 20 years old studying the region of the Bohemian Highland. The research sample for the data collecting consisted of 168 respondents in total. The hypothesis No. 1 supposed that girls have a greater knowledge about the issue of the domestic violence than boys. This hypothesis was confirmed. The hypothesis No. 2 supposed that adolescents do not agree with physical punishments in the upbringing. The hypothesis No. 2 was not confirmed. Respondents largely agree with the corporal punishments, if they are reasonable (a slap) or earned. The bachelor thesis offers current data on the domestic violence, awareness and opinions of the adolescents. It points out where it is necessary to increase the awareness of the adolescents on the domestic violence issues. The thesis can be used by a professional and lay public, which is interested in the domestic violence and it can be a basis for further studies or researches in that area

Factors influencing the opinion of adolescents about the issue of domestic violence

Abstract The diploma thesis on the theme ?Factors influencing adolescents´ opinion on issues of the domestic violence? deals in the theoretical part with all important aspects of the domestic violence and stalking. The research part has been focused on adolescents aged 17 to 19 years living in Vysočina region, the research sample has consisted of 858 respondents. The aim of the thesis was to find out, by statistical methods on a statistically significant sample of adolescents, key factors influencing the adolescents´ opinion on the issue of the domestic violence. In relation to the aim of the thesis there were determined following hypotheses, which were tested on 5% significance level with six survey questions. Hypothesis 1: ?Statistically significant factor for the domestic violence among adolescents is their personal experience? was confirmed in four areas. Respondents having the personal experience with the domestic violence differ from the respondents without such experience in the following: they are more aware of a possibility of a partner´s violence at their age, they more refuse to tolerate the domestic violence, they better recognize a definition of the domestic violence and they are often aware of a possibility of a trans-generation transmission of the violence. In connection with this hypothesis it is important the finding, that 57 respondents (7%) have their personal experience with the domestic violence; 49 girls and 8 boys. Hypothesis 2: ?Statistically significant factor for the domestic violence among adolescents is the education? was not confirmed due to a low variability of responses and insufficient data to evaluate the hypothesis. Hypothesis 3: ?Statistically significant factor for the domestic violence among adolescents is the gender (women)? was confirmed in two areas. Girls differ from boys in the following: they are more aware of a possibility of the partner´s violence at their age and they more refuse to tolerate the domestic violence. The diploma thesis can serve as a source of current information related to the issue of the domestic violence, it provides an up-to-date data on the prevalence of the domestic violence in the adolescence and it presents information and opinions of adolescents on the domestic violence or partner relationship. The thesis can be used by professionals as well as lay public interested in the domestic violence and it can be a basis or a comparison for other studies and researches
