Body as Key Topic in the Prose of Marek Sindelka

Bakalářská práce se zabývá literární tvorbou českého současného autora Marka Šindelky, konkrétně jeho stěžejními prozaickými díly Chyba, Zůstaňte s námi, Mapa Anny a Únava materiálu. Analýza těchto titulů, která se opírá zejména o literárněteoretické přístupy Daniely Hodrové, Blanky Činátlové a lingvistů George Lakoffa a Marka Johnsona, se zaměřuje na způsob, jakým se jejich ústřední téma těla a tělesnosti manifestuje na různých úrovních literárního díla. Cílem bakalářské práce je tedy příslušnými literárněvědnými nástroji ověřit, zda tělo a tělesnost představují pouze klíčové téma spojující většinu Šindelkových textů, nebo zda toto téma vstupuje do hlubších rovin textu, např. jako jeho kompoziční princip či jako - jediný validní - způsob nazírání světa.

Longevity of Cane Corso Italiano dog breed and its relationship with hair colour

The Cane Corso Italiano belongs among the new dog breeds that were fully recognised by Federation Cynologique Internationale (FCI) in 2007. For the first time, this study describes a median lifespan using the data of 232 dogs of the Cane Corso Italiano breed collected from kennels and individual owners from 25 countries. The median lifespan of the whole examined group is 9.29 years (IQR 6.98-11.12, IQR = Interquartile Range). This paper is the first to describe the possible relationship between median lifespan and hair colour within one breed. The longest living group is formed by black brindle coloured dogs, with a median of 10.30 years (IQR 8.33-13.00), and brindle coloured dogs, with a median of 10.13 years (IQR 7.12-11.25). The median lifespan of black brindle dogs exceeded the overall median lifespan of all dogs by 1.01 year and the median lifespan of other colour dogs by 2.21 years. Our results suggest a possible way for a prolongation of age at death of the Cane Corso Italiano breed using appropriate breeding. The median lifespan of male Cane Corso Italiano dogs is 9.25 years (IQR 6.97-11.00) and female Cane Corso Italiano dogs 9.33 years (IQR 7.00-11.31). The statistical analysis using the Independent Samples Student’s t test confirmed that the lifespan of female dogs did not exceed the median lifespan of male dogs (P>0.01)

Golf Club Berzdorfer See, Germany

katedra: KAR; rozsah: 28 s.The subject of the bachelor project is to design a golf club near the new lake Berzdorfer See in Germany (there will be placed several recreational areas in the future, one of them is the 18-hole golf course with facilities and restaurant). The urban design of surroundings and shelter of driving range are also parts of the project. The aim was to create an object that combines the function of the golf facilities (changing rooms, golf equipment store), but also part of the hotel, restaurant and recreation area with wellness. Two-storey building is situated in the middle of the course, between 1., 9. and 10., 18 . hole at the crossroad of tghe public road and small paved communication within the course. The proposal uses the profile of landscape and the second floor is connected with the driving range. There is a passage in first floor, as a visual link between the two parts. The dominant element of the facade are oak lamella especially on the south side of the building.Předmětem zadání bakalářského projektu je návrh golfového klubu u nově otevřeného německého jezera Berzdorfer See, u kterého se bude v budoucnu nacházet několik rekreačních oblastí, jedním z nich je i 18ti jamkové golfové hřiště se zázemím a gastronomií. Součástí návrhu je i urbanistický návrh bezprostředního okolí a přístřešek odpaliště driving range. Cílem bylo vytvoření objektu, který v sobě spojuje nejen funkci golfového zázemí (šatny, sklad golfové techniky), ale i část hotelovou, restauraci a rekreační část s menším wellness. Dvoupodlažní objekt je situován ve střední části hřiště, mezi 1., 9. a 10., 18. jamkou na střetu procházející silniční komunikace a malé zpevněné komunikace v rámci hřiště. Návrh využívá profilace terénu a v rámci prvního podlaží volně navazuje na driving range. V první patře probíhá mezi důležitými jamkami krytý průchod, jako vizuální propojení obou částí. Dominantním prvkem fasády jsou dubové lamelové prvky zejména na jižní straně objektu

Europeanization of the British Development Policy?: Development Policy of the United Kingdom From the Point of Vien of the Multi-level Governance

This theses analyses the development policy of a member state of the European Union. It examines the development policy of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Its development policy is explored through the expectations of the multi-level governance theory. According to this theory the governance in European Union is carried out on several different levels. This applies to european politics, polity and also for policies. And one of the European policies is also development policy. This theses argues that the UK exercises its development policy on several different levels. Its traditional bilateral development policy shows aspects of "path dependency". More than half of its development assistence gives the UK to its former colonies associated in Commonwealth. Along with this traditional bilateral development policy the UK exercises its development policy also on the European level when it tries to influence the European governance. Another level is also the subnational level of the local goverment. Because of the restricted scope of my theses I didn't focus on the local level. Also many players are engaged in the cooperation of the UK and EC development policy. Along with the government and executive, the British Parliament and civil society are engaged in this cooperation. This is in..

Inheritance of coat colour in the cane Corso Italiano dog

Abstract Background The inheritance of different coat colours in the Cane Corso Italiano dog has not been described thus far. We analysed data from 23,271 dogs and bitches using the Cane Corso Italiano Pedigree Database. We are describing for the first time the coat colour segregation ratios in Cane Corso Italiano offspring arising from crosses between parents of all possible coat colour combinations. Results Segregation ratios that do not follow a Mendelian pattern suggest that additional genes are active in the determination of coat colour. Segregation ratios of offspring produced by parental crossing (male colour A x female colour B) were compared with the ratios of offspring produced by reciprocal crossing (male colour B x female colour A) in all possible coat colour combinations. Most of the segregation ratios were the same, but some segregation ratios in reciprocal crosses differed. This result suggests that at least one gene responsible for coat colour is located on a sex chromosome. The sex ratio was analysed in the offspring of all colour groups. A ratio of 1:1 was not confirmed in 8 colour groups by the chi-square test. Conclusions We described for the first time coat colour segregation ratios in Cane Corso Italiano dogs. Furthermore, we present the hypothesis that at least one gene responsible for coat colour is located on a sex chromosome
