The inversion effect of canonical-oriented objects, which makes difficult their recognition, is considered as behavioural evidence of holistic processing. While the inversion effect has not been demonstrated for birds in ...

In the yeast S. cerevisiae, differentiation into U (upper) and L (lower) cell subpopulations takes place during development of colonies formed by the laboratory strain BY4742. U and L cells differ in morphology and metabolism. ...

Based on a literature search, this paper evaluates the impact of including live animals in science and biology lessons on learning processes, especially on students' intrinsic motivation and knowledge acquisition. Direct ...

Communication mediated by chemical substances - infochemicals - is one of the oldest and most important forms of communication on Earth, used by all organisms. Among the most important infochemicals are pheromones, which ...

Latitude significantly affects ecological communities. Some groups are found only at lower latitudes, or their abundance and diversity decrease towards the poles. Changes in the representation of individual groups likely ...

Surfactin is a cyclic lipoheptapeptide produced by B. subtilis. It is a surface-active compound capable of interfering with the barrier function of the cytoplasmic membrane. With increasing concentration, it can disorganize ...

This bachelor's thesis is a review of scientific studies. It examines a pedagogical approach known as the flipped classroom, which relocates the theoretical component of the class to the home environment and utilizes the ...

Microsatellites have served as popular markers in molecular ecology since 1990s. However, traditional electrophoretic genotyping of microsatellites suffers from many errors of technical nature. Such errors can be avoided ...

Myokines are small signaling molecules produced by skeletal muscle tissue into the bloodstream, which further act both at the level of skeletal muscle, in the processes of its growth and regeneration, and on the whole ...

The bacterium Kingella kingae is part of the normal microflora of young children, in whom it colonizes the oropharynx in an asymptomatic manner. For a long time, this bacterium was considered a very rare cause of human ...

This master's thesis deals with the geography of the activities and functioning of inclusive groups or organisations in the Republika Srpska, whose political sphere is dominated by an exclusivist ethno-nationalist discourse. ...

(in English) Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most prevalent cancer types. Patents sufering from infammatory bowel disease (IBD) have an increased risk of CRC development. IBD is manifested by extensive intestnal ...

This bachelor thesis is focused on the study of electrochemical oxidation of meta and para substituted phenolic compounds on a basal-plane pyrolytic graphite electrode (bPGE), employing cyclic voltammetry and differential ...

This bachelor thesis was devoted to the study of the electrochemical behaviour of the drug nitrofurantoin and finding the optimal conditions for its voltammetric determination on a working electrode made of of ultra pure ...

The aim of this thesis is to summarize the findings on the involvement of PML nuclear bodies in the regulation of the innate immune response. The thesis includes a description of PML nuclear bodies and the immune response ...

Mitophagy is a selective type of autophagy in which damaged or senescent mitochondria are removed and recycled. In recent years, the role of mitophagy in the pathophysiology of neurodegenerative diseases, including ...

Cyclic nucleotides, specifically cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) are well-established second messengers in most eucaryotic and procaryotic cells. Although they are some of ...

The gerbils of the subfamily Gerbillinae represent an important taxon of rodents that includes a wide range of species inhabiting arid regions of the Old World. These species exhibit remarkable inter- and intraspecific ...

Algae of the genus Codium are currently among the most important marine green macroalgae. They have a rich diversity and a wide distribution range in coastal communities from tropical to subarctic regions. The most important ...

The ability to cope with an unusual stressful environment is one of the most important aspects of survival. In the plant family Brassicaceae, there are several species with an unusual ability to hyperaccumulate heavy metals. ...

Threats have always been a part of human life. Ancestral or phylogenetic threats have accompanied humans and their ancestors since ancient times. In this regard, several theories have been proposed suggesting that our ...

Rewilding represents an innovative approach to the restoration of natural ecosystems, emphasizing the autonomous development of ecosystems with minimal human intervention. In this thesis, I analyze the concept of rewilding ...

This work examines the origin, maintenance, and significance of bimodal distributions in living systems. Numerous examples can be cited from biology, evolutionary psychology, and cultural evolution, where two stable states ...

T-cell activation, an essential process for establishing adaptive immunity, occurs within a highly organized spatial platform known as the immunological synapse (IS). The formation of the IS enables the intricate interplay ...

This thesis investigates the neurophysiological and neuronal mechanisms underlying the processing of different types of stress stimuli, focusing on the brain and body's differential responses to highly affective negative ...

Cellular life as we know it is dependent on all 20 canonical amino acids comprising the majority of all proteins. Study of origins of life has implied that life might have begun its existence with a smaller alphabet. ...

The role of ribosomal proteins in accommodation of near-cognate tRNAs during stop codon readthrough tRNAs serve as a dictionary for the ribosome translating the genetic message from mRNA into a polypeptide chain. Besides ...

The lichen species Cladonia norvegica is well known for its characteristic production of striking red spots, which, according to the opinion of most authors, is produced in response to mites grazing on the lichen. In some ...

The biological role of eIF4E2, translation initiation factor, remains unexplored in mitosis. To better understand its role in mitotic translation regulation, I established, with validations, RPE-1 stable cell lines with ...

English abstract The bachelor thesis deals with the Sn-W-Li deposit at Cínovec (northwestern Bohemian Massif), which is currently much discussed due to the intense prospection of lithium mica with the potential of near-future ...
