ABSTRACTS (April 2009): 1) Jana Dvorackova This text[SB1] is an analysis of discourses through which the discipline of sexology, particularly in the context of the Czech Republic, conceptualizes transsexuality. Based on the analysis of selected documents, the paper aims to map the essential turning points in the development of the sexological etiology [SB2] of transsexuality. It also aims to identify the gender assumptions in which this conception of the etiology of transsexuality is embedded. The second part of the paper focuses on how sexological preconceptions of gender and sexuality form the conventions of standardized diagnostic procedure, its singular techniques and its criteria for confirming or, on the contrary, disproving the diagnosis of transsexuality. The sexological discourses of transsexuality are theorized from a poststructuralist perspective, which accents the formative aspects of social discourses, and above all[INS: , :INS] [DEL: of :DEL] the discourses of science.[INS: :INS] [INS: [ :INS] [INS: Overall, :INS] [INS: a well formulated and succinct abstract] :INS] 2) Jana Francova NOT AN ABSTRACT BUT “Beginning of a spe[DEL: a :DEL] [INS: e :INS] ch for ANIMALITER conference”: [INS: The :INS] [DEL: M :DEL] [INS: m :INS] ain interes[INS: t (focus?) :INS] of this conference is a picture (of an animal) and a litera[INS: ture :INS] . In [DEL: our :DEL] [INS: Czech :INS] culture[INS: , :INS] both [DEL: is :DEL] [INS: are :INS] tradi[DEL: c :DEL] [INS: t :INS] ionally [INS: re :INS] presented by a book. Though this fact has been radically changed recentl[DEL: l :DEL] y, we are focused on a book in original meaning[SB3] . This means the book [DEL: a :DEL] [INS: i :INS] s a synergy of [INS: the :INS] written and visual[INS: forms :INS] . [INS: :INS] I am from[INS: the :INS] pedagogical fa[DEL: k :DEL] [INS: c :INS] ulty [DEL: from :DEL] [INS: of the :INS] visual art [DEL: departement :DEL] [INS: department where I work as a :INS] [DEL: . I am a :DEL] [DEL: :DEL] visual artist. So the point of [INS: view :INS] [INS: :INS] [DEL: wiev :DEL] I will be presenting is [DEL: very :DEL] subjective[SB4] [INS: , :INS] and [INS: based :INS] [DEL: so to say :DEL] mostly [INS: on the :INS] visual. My speech will be il[INS: l :INS] ustrated by pictures behind me. These pictures will have the title and a[INS: u :INS] thor`s name and in brackets the institution he or she [DEL: came :DEL] [INS: comes :INS] from[INS: . In cases where the author is not given :INS] , [DEL: if this is missing, :DEL] it means the person is not connected with art education.[INS: :INS] [INS: As the recipients, y :INS] [DEL: Y :DEL] ou can take the pictures as the main part of [DEL: the :DEL] [INS: my :INS] speech and[INS: the :INS] words [INS: as :INS] just [DEL: as :DEL] [INS: additional/supplementary :INS] comments [DEL: to :DEL] [INS: on :INS] it. [DEL: Or :DEL] [INS: Alternatively, :INS] you [DEL: can :DEL] [INS: may choose to :INS] concentrate on [INS: the :INS] literal[DEL: ly :DEL] [SB5] [SB6] part of my performance [DEL: and that :DEL] [INS: which :INS] should [INS: also :INS] be coherent[DEL: too :DEL] . [INS: My :INS] [DEL: Mine :DEL] main task and ambition will be to balance between these two extremes pointing out the importance of the correlation between them. [INS: :INS] Because Animaliter has been running since 2007[INS: , :INS] we can begin with the information that the part that is a participation of pedagogical faculty - Phenomenon Book has longer tradition[SB7] . PB is a student competition that started 10[INS: :INS] years ago and has increased to an international event. This pro[DEL: of :DEL] [INS: ve :INS] s that the initiative of promoting the book as an object is something that interests people from many institutions concurrently. This interest is probably [SB8] caused by the internal fear of lo[DEL: o :DEL] sing one cultural period as [DEL: the :DEL] digitalization has been spreading. …..[INS: :INS] [INS: [ :INS] [INS: Points to pay attention to: choice of vocabulary; consistency :INS] [INS: (e.g I/we); use of hedging where appropriate; clarity of meaning...] :INS] [DEL: :DEL] [DEL: :DEL] [DEL: :DEL] [DEL: :DEL] 3) Vincent Kekeli title: The Problem of [DEL: the :DEL] Skepticism and [DEL: the :DEL] Relativism in [INS: the :INS] Philosophy of Pragmatism abstract: In this work[INS: , :INS] i [INS: will :INS] try to present the substantial marks of relativism and pluralism within the framework of [INS: the :INS] philosophy of pragmatism. Th[DEL: i :DEL] [INS: e :INS] s[INS: e :INS] areas are the tools for pragmatism and try to keep out the main ideas of tradi[INS: ti :INS] onal philosophy. The ideas of tradi[INS: ti :INS] onal philosophy made of the world a place where we have the Truth. Pragmatism is against this project. Everything is made by society as a [INS: social :INS] construct. We need the rules, but they are not from the "absolute world" which created Plato. Pragmatism would like get free of the Truth to the society. Without the Truth we can live better life [DEL: in :DEL] [INS: through :INS] co-operation and understanding. Pragmatism is the reinterpretation of the old dogmas. For this pragmatism employs in philosophy relativism [DEL: a :DEL] and pluralism.[INS: [clear, well-formulated and concise sentences] :INS] 4) Jana Kristoforyova Topic: Islamic feminism[INS: , :INS] [DEL: - :DEL] claiming women´s equality in private and public sphere[INS: s :INS] in Muslim communities in Europe[INS: , :INS] Feminism as the movement for equality of women and men is not only connected to the western countries[SB9] . It [INS: also :INS] has responses [SB10] in the context of Islam[DEL: as well :DEL] . Even [DEL: if :DEL] [INS: though :INS] it [DEL: could :DEL] [INS: may :INS] seem improbable from the [INS: discourse of oppression in the :INS] Western media [DEL: discourse of oppression :DEL] and [INS: the :INS] subordinate status of women in Islam[SB11] , Islamic feminism has its[INS: :INS] [DEL: :DEL] defenders [INS: both :INS] inside and outside of [INS: the :INS] Muslim community.[INS: [the sentences in this paragraph are somewhat long – and often lack :INS] [INS: clarity of :INS] [INS: meaning] :INS] [INS: :INS] This paper seeks to analyze [INS: the :INS] main arguments [DEL: of :DEL] [INS: presented by :INS] the most important [INS: contemporary :INS] Islamic feminist authors. It explores the impact of Islamic feminist thoughts on movements aiming at women´s equality such as NGO human rights projects, conferences, women´s organizations, etc. The study concentrates on the influence of Islamic feminist thoughts in European Muslim communities. [INS: :INS] The study [DEL: analyzed :DEL] [INS: focuses on the :INS] three most cited authors[INS: , namely :INS] [SB12] [INS: Wadud, Mernissi and Barazangi, :INS] who challenge the traditional interpretations of woman´s position in Muslim community.[DEL: Wadud, Mernissi and Barazangi :DEL] . Method of content analysis [SB13] of their books identified common arguments and differences in the goals and measures leading to social justice and equal opportunities for men and women in [INS: the :INS] Muslim community. [INS: :INS] Such analysis served as the starting point [DEL: for :DEL] [INS: in :INS] the search [DEL: o :DEL] f[INS: or :INS] examples of Social Movements striving for equality of women and men in the realm of Islam. The project Imaan in Britain[INS: , :INS] and Norwegian research on [INS: the :INS] division of labour in Muslim families were presented. Their [SB14] responses on Islamic feminist principles were demonstrated. The study documented significant similarities [DEL: among :DEL] [INS: between the :INS] goals and claims of secular feminists and religious feminists.[SB15] [DEL: :DEL] [DEL: :DEL] [DEL: :DEL] [DEL: :DEL] [DEL: :DEL] [DEL: :DEL] [DEL: :DEL] [DEL: :DEL] [DEL: :DEL] 5) Silvie Kuranova Title: Interactive Materials in Teaching Differential Equations (or just [DEL: :DEL] Interactive Materials for Differential Equations) Abstract: [DEL: With :DEL] [INS: The :INS] progress of blended learning[INS: has given rise to the :INS] [DEL: it is big :DEL] need to prepare good electronic[DEL: al :DEL] materials, especially th[INS: o :INS] [DEL: e :DEL] se which use the greatest power [SB16] of an electronic[DEL: al :DEL] document - interactivity. This paper focuses on [DEL: some kinds of :DEL] such materials[INS: , including :INS] [DEL: - :DEL] interactive tests, maplets etc., [SB17] which are used to explain and illustrate ordinary differential equations ([DEL: differential equations :DEL] [INS: the latter :INS] are very important tools of contin[INS: u :INS] ous mathematical modelling), especially interactive tests created by LaTeX package - AcroTeX eDucation Bundle. Some other support materials, particularly graphs, were created using the computer algebra system Maple. As quiz[INS: z :INS] es verify student's knowledge, pictures and graphs help[DEL: s :DEL] in [INS: gaining a :INS] better understanding of the topic. [DEL: :DEL] 6) Zuzana Vaskova Aortic valve area measured by various sequences of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Aortic valve area (AVA) is one of the important [SB18] parameters analysed in [INS: the :INS] diagnos[DEL: e :DEL] [INS: is :INS] of aortic stenosis. It is the area through which blood from [INS: the :INS] heart [INS: flows :INS] to [INS: the :INS] aorta [DEL: flows :DEL] during the systolic phase of the cardiac cycle. Ultrasonography is [INS: a :INS] standard method for [INS: the :INS] analysis of AVA[DEL: . :DEL] [INS: ; :INS] [DEL: E :DEL] [INS: e :INS] valuation of [DEL: :DEL] the AVA with this method is performed [DEL: by :DEL] [INS: using :INS] [INS: the :INS] continuity equation. Planimetry is another [DEL: way :DEL] [INS: method used for :INS] [DEL: of :DEL] AVA evaluation, not performed by ultrasonography[SB19] . We used MRI for AVA visualization with different sequences and their parameters [SB20] and observed the affect to the standard deviation in our AVA measurements. [DEL: The :DEL] [INS: A :INS] set of fifteen healthy volunteers underwent MRI examination with TrueFISP, FLASH and phase contrast sequences[DEL: . :DEL] [INS: ; the :INS] [DEL: D :DEL] [INS: d :INS] isplayed areas [SB21] were measured[INS: , :INS] and results consequently compared. The results approved the affect of sequences and parameters not only to image quality, but also to the results of measurements.[SB22] [DEL: :DEL] [DEL: :DEL] [DEL: :DEL] [DEL: :DEL] [DEL: :DEL] [DEL: :DEL] [DEL: :DEL] [DEL: :DEL] [DEL: :DEL] [DEL: :DEL] [DEL: :DEL] [DEL: :DEL] [DEL: :DEL] [DEL: :DEL] [DEL: :DEL] [DEL: :DEL] [DEL: :DEL] [INS: :INS] 7) Lenka Zerzankova Title: Mechanism of Antitumor Effects of a New Dinuclear Platinum(II) Complex Based on the 1,2-diaminocyclohexane (DACH) Carrier Ligand Polynuclear platinum complexes represent a new class of anticancer agents, distinct in terms of DNA binding features and the profile of antitumor activity from their mononuclear counterparts, in particular cisplatin. A concept of designing new platinum drugs is based on the observation that carrier amine ligands of cisplatin can modulate its anticancer properties. This concept has resulted in a new dinuclear platinum compound, [{PtCl(diaminocyclohexane)2(µ-7,10-diazahexadecane-1,16-diamine)]4+ (BBR3610-DACH). In this compound, the structural features of two classes of the platinum compounds with proven antitumor activity are combined, namely DACH carrier ligands and dinuclear platinum geometry with a polyamine linker. To study the DNA binding mode of BBR3610-DACH common biophysical and biochemical methods were [SB23] used and consequent findings have been [SB24] compared with cytotoxicity and cellular uptake of this new complex in several human tumor cell lines. The results show BBR3610-DACH to have unique properties in coordination of DNA, different from that of mononuclear analog as well as from that of dinuclear spermine complex. Its enhanced interstrand cross-linking efficiency and the positively charged polyamine linker are critical features contributing to higher cellular uptake that result in a suppression of tumor growth. Thus, the results of this work are consistent with the hypothesis systematically tested by us [SB25] and others that platinum drugs that bind to DNA [SB26] in a fundamentally different manner can exhibit [DEL: different :DEL] [INS: diverse :INS] biological properties[INS: , :INS] including the spectrum and intensity of antitumor activity.[INS: :INS] [INS: [ :INS] [INS: Very clearly written; well constructed, native- :INS] [INS: English-user-like language] :INS] 8) Marketa Zampachova Title: Sexual Behaviour of Czech Adolescents and the Risk of HIV/AIDS Th[INS: is :INS] [DEL: e :DEL] paper tries to shed light on [SB27] [DEL: a :DEL] [INS: the :INS] relationship between [INS: the :INS] sexual behaviour of Czech adolescents and [INS: the :INS] progressing HIV epidemic in the Czech Republic. There were 147 new diagnoses of HIV positive people in the year 2008 and the number has been recognised as rapidly increasing every year. [SB28] Adolescents are one of the most vulnerable groups because they are at the beginning of their sexual lives. [SB29] The key research question of the whole project [SB30] is: How has the sexual behaviour of Czech adolescents been changing in the light of the progressing HIV epidemic[INS: in the country :INS] ? The research [INS: study entitled :INS] Youth and AIDS that [DEL: was mapping :DEL] [INS: mapped :INS] [INS: the :INS] risky sexual behaviour of adolescents towards HIV/AIDS was realized in the years 1997 and 2004[INS: respectively, :INS] in the second largest city in the Czech Republic – Brno. Following research Panel of pairs and families 2008[SB31] , which was realized in the whole [INS: of the :INS] Czech Republic, contained the topic of risky sexual behaviour of adolescent also. [SB32] These three sets of data allowed [INS: the :INS] compari[DEL: ng :DEL] [INS: son of :INS] trends over [DEL: the :DEL] time. The results show that [DEL: the :DEL] [INS: Czech :INS] adolescents have a good knowledge of how to behave safely and in most cases show attitudes implying safe sexual behaviour. Nevertheless they do not behave safely. Approximately 75 % of sexually active adolescents use some form of contraception. However, only 50 % of adolescents use [INS: a :INS] condom in their sexual lives – not because of the fear of [DEL: getting :DEL] [INS: becoming :INS] infected with HIV, but because of the fear of unwanted pregnancy. Czech adolescents have not changed their sexual behaviour [INS: despite the upsurge in :INS] [DEL: and :DEL] HIV/AIDS [INS: in the country, yet it would be assumed to be :INS] [DEL: has not been :DEL] a motive for them to change it.
