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 ...

Indoor environmental quality is a hot topic as more than 90% of our time is spent indoors. The aim of my master thesis was to develop a description of the VOC burden of children in schools from measured values in schools ...

Cerebral gliomas are a heterogeneous group of tumours of different histological subtypes, which differ in malignant potential, response to treatment and overall survival of patients. Their diffuse nature does not allow for ...

During early ontogenesis in mammals, changes in the energy requirements of cells occur in relation to their differentiation and proliferation. At the same time, energy metabolism must respond to changes in the availability ...

The evolution of the cerebellum in vertebrates (Vertebrata) represents a fascinating area of research that focuses on understanding how the cerebellum evolved, how its shape, size and function changed in different groups ...

This study is the first to perform EEG recording and spectral analysis of the Power Spectral Density across specific frequency bands (delta, theta, alpha, beta, gamma) during late stages of development after flurothyl ...

In amniotes, sex can be determined either by genotype or by environmental conditions, primarily temperature, during early development. Reptiles exhibit remarkable diversity not only at the species level but also in terms ...

This bachelor's thesis aims to summarize the latest findings on biting midges as vectors and hosts of kinetoplastids. Kinetoplastida are flagellated protozoans that live both freely and parasitically. As parasites, they ...

Lizards of the genus Podarcis Wagler, 1830 belong to the family Lacertidae. Recently, its taxonomy has been undergoing dynamic changes, and it can be assumed that taxonomic revisions will continue in the future. This ...

Gastrointestinal stromal tumours are tumours of mesenchymal origin, whose treatment and prognosis have improved over the last 22 years thanks to tyrosine kinase inhibitors. This disease is often caused by mutations in the ...

This thesis deals with selected student preconceptions and misconceptions in social geography. The first part of the thesis is theoretical, in which necessary terms are defined and selected social geographic misconceptions ...
