The prevalence of overweight and obesity at Secondary School Pupils in the Region Českokrumlovsko.

Child obesity is serious problem that afflict all civilized countries in the world at present, therefore it has become a subject of this bachelor thesis. The intension is to map the prevelance of owerweight and obesity in selected group of students in secondary school /junior high school/ in area /district/ of Cesky Krumlov. Thesis contains two components with focus on theory and practice. In the teoretical part there are elaborated basic terms characterizing the issue of childehood obesity and factors that contribute to its origin. The primary sources of study and creation of this work were professional literature and scientific publication listed in literature sources. The practical part is presented in the form of quantitative research of selected group of students in secundary school /junior high school/. Prevelance of owerweight and obesity was investigated in cooperation with parents and teachers of selected school. The basic data of the investigated subject have been incorporated into the form with the parents written consent. Anthropometric measurment of 178 students took place out in the next part of study. Body height and weight were determined and waist circumference. The detected parameters were statistically processed and presented in the clear graphic design and tables. According to the BMI table, 26 children are underweight. There are 133 children in the category marked as normal, which is vast majority. 17 Children are overweight and obesity has been measured on two kids

Influence of robotization in production

The thesis deals with the evaluation of influence of robotization in production, possibilities of using robots in companies and it aims to propose recommendation for selected company. The first part of this thesis explains the theoretical basis and explanation of concepts relating to the subject of interest. For example, the history of industrial progress, robots and other tools or automation are discussed. This theoretical concept relates to the issue of evaluation of influence of robotization in production and using it in companies. These theoretical findings are further applied in the second part. The second part of this thesis contains the characteristics of the company. It aims to analyse the influence of robotization in production by the comparison of costs and evaluation of possibilities of using robots in companies. At the end of this thesis, the results are presented and recommendations for our selected company are proposed

EFFECTS OF NICOTINE USE IN CIGARETTES AND VAPORIZERS ON THE ORAL MICROBIOTA

The purpose of this experiment was to determine the effect of smoking or vaping on the oral microbiota. The study was approved by the YHC IRB. Seventeen YHC students were divided into three test groups: control (did not smoke or vape), smokers, and vapers. All participants were given a survey regarding their oral hygiene and nicotine use. Swabs of participants’ mouths were placed in saline, which was used to inoculate blood agar (to assess total microbial count and hemolysis) and mitis salivarius agar (selective for Streptococcus). Plates were grown anaerobically for 48 hours at 37˚C and colonies were counted. A sample of colonies were Gram stained and colony morphology was assessed. Participants’ saliva was used to inoculate Snyder agar deeps which indicates propensity for dental caries. Snyder deeps were grown for 72 hours aerobically and checked for yellow color change (an indicator of acid production) every 24 hours. Survey results showed no difference between participant characteristics in the groups except that vapers were significantly younger than the other two groups (p value 0.0282), only smokers reported that they smoked (p value 0.0005) and only vapers reported that they vaped (p value 0.0004). There were no significant differences between the number of colony forming units grown on blood agar (between 7.4 x 104 and 1.1 x 105 CFU/ml) or mitis salivarius agar (between 4.8 x 103 and 1.2 x 104 CFU/ml) or in Snyder agar results between the groups. The results of this study indicate there are no differences between the oral microbiota we surveyed in smokers, vapers, and controls. Supported by the YHC Undergraduate Research Initiative

The effects of post-encoding stress and glucocorticoids on episodic memory in humans and rodents

It is now well established that acute stress shortly after encoding (i.e., post-encoding stress) can benefit episodic memory. In the current paper, we briefly review the human literature examining the effects of post-encoding stress on episodic memory, and we relate that literature to studies of post-encoding manipulations of cortisol in humans, as well as studies of post-encoding stress and administration of corticosterone on analogous memory tasks in rodents. An examination of the literature reveals several important gaps in our understanding of stress and memory. For example, although the human literature shows that post-encoding stress generally improves memory, these effects are not observed if stress occurs in a different context from learning. Moreover, the rodent literature shows that post-encoding stress generally impairs memory instead of improving it, and these effects depend on whether the animal is habituated to the learning context prior to encoding. Although many aspects of the results support a cellular consolidation account of post-encoding stress, we present possible modifications, such as a network reset, to better account for the data. We also suggest that it is important to incorporate ideas of contextual binding in order to understanding the effects of post-encoding stress and glucocorticoids on memory
