Residential Mobility of Prague Population with Focus on Ethnic Minorities

Since 1989, Czechia has undergone many changes. Increasingly important part of Czech society is represented by foreign inhabitants, who - most often - move to Prague. The capital city is target of economic migrants but also of those foreigners who seek a new home. The aim of the diploma thesis is to get to know spatial patterns of migration of population in Prague between 1992 and 2011 and to explain geographical causes of migration. The first part of the thesis discusses theoretical approaches dealing with mobility, especially with migration and residential mobility. Next chapter introduces development of migration of population in Prague and summarizes basic findings about the most numerous groups of foreigners living in the capital city. Based on data from registers of migration, general trends in population migration are identified, then, migration activity of Prague inhabitants by citizenship is analyzed. Case study of urbanistic district Nové Butovice-západ in the final part of the thesis verifies, by triangulation of research methods, the reliability of statistical data on numbers and movement of foreigners in Prague and analyzes the influence of immigration of Russian citizens on changing social environment of the studied locality

Non-constrast CT, baseline source and average CT perfusion images, cerebral blood flow (CBF), cerebral blood volume (CBV) and mean transit time (MTT) maps at ganglionic (A-F) and supraganglionic (G-L) axial ASPECTS levels.

<p>Multiple circular regions of interest (ROIs) larger than 1 cm² placed freehand in the affected hemisphere and automatically reflected into homologous regions of the contralateral hemisphere were used to measure CBF, CBV and MTT absolute values from the corresponding functional maps in ASPECTS regions at ganglionic (anterior middle cerebral artery cortex, middle cerebral artery cortex lateral to insular ribbon, posterior middle cerebral artery cortex, insula, caudate nucleus, lentiform nucleus and internal capsule) and supraganglionic (anterior, lateral, and posterior middle cerebral artery cortical territories immediately superior to the previous ones, rostral to basal ganglia) sections.</p
