1. Stepan Kozak Recently, Kuzu et[JM1] [DEL: . :DEL] al. [1] proposed a secure similarity search index based on the locality sensitive hashing technique[JM2] (secure LSH index). The advantage of the scheme is a provable adaptive semantic security (in the similarity search context). However, the technique cannot be directly used for an arbitrary metric space. It supports only those metric spaces for which there is a family of LSH functions. Based on the research of Novak et[DEL: . :DEL] al. [2], we propose an extension of the secure LSH index method[INS: , :INS] using the M-Index technique as a generic family of[INS: :INS] [DEL: :DEL] LSH functions to allow direct us[DEL: ag :DEL] e of the method of Kuzu et[DEL: . :DEL] al. for an arbitrary metric space. The result is a secure LSH index for arbitrary metric spaces with provable adaptive semantic security. [INS: :INS] [INS: :INS] [INS: :INS] 2. Petr Bauch There are three crucial requirements for automatic verification of parallel software against temporal specification. The verification procedure must (1) accept real code as input[INS: ; :INS] [DEL: , :DEL] (2) accept temporal specification as input[INS: ; :INS] [DEL: , :DEL] and (3) be exhaustive when verifying the execution, since the execution might be furcated by both control and data flows. This paper is concerned with the third requirement, using explicit model checking to handle the control and symbolic set representations to[JM3] handle the data. The combination of explicit and symbolic approaches is first investigated theoretically and we report [JM4] the requirements on the symbolic representation and the changes to the model checking process the combination entails. The feasibility and efficiency of the combination is demonstrated [INS: i :INS] [DEL: o :DEL] n two case studies and we report[JM5] a marked improvement in scalability in the Simulink case study against previous solutions. The results described in this paper show the potential to meet all three requirements for automatic verification in a single procedure[INS: , :INS] combining explicit model checking with symbolic set representations.

Jitka Bělíková Purpose: To investigate the relationship between lens density in age-related cataract and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and the impact of cataract grade[INS: , :INS] assessed via 3D lens densitometry by Pentacam Nucleus Grading System (PNS[JM13] )[INS: , :INS] on Phacodynamics (phaco-time and phaco-energy). [INS: :INS] Methods: 55 patients with age-related cataract were evaluated. Lens density was assessed using the PNS. BCVA was tested with Snellen chart. Surgery was performed with no adjustment of parameters and phaco-energy-time was monitored. [INS: :INS] Results: The correlations between the lens density, BCVA and phaco-energy/time were analyzed. [DEL: There was :DEL] [INS: A :INS] [DEL: a :DEL] negative linear correlation [INS: was identified :INS] [JM14] between lens density and BCVA and positive correlation [INS: was identified :INS] between density and total dissipated phaco-energy.

And why is it so? The goal of this paper is to divide the sum of municipal expenditure into several strictly differentiated main areas, and [JM19] then examine the development of expenditure amount spent in each of them, while considering both the absolute and relative changes, as well as the changes of ratios between the expenditure areas themselves. The examined data contains municipal expenditure of all 205 Czech municipalities with extended powers (ORPs) plus the capital city Prague, and thus covers around 60% of the Czech population. The examined period spans from 2001-2011, covering 11-years. The results of the paper provide a clear picture of which expenditure areas are growing, which are stagnating, and which [INS: are :INS] decay[INS: ing :INS] [JM20] . These changes are explained based on the socioeconomic development of [DEL: the :DEL] Czech society during the examined period.

Lenka Belanova Cognitive impairment is a common feature in patients with Parkinson’s Disease (PD), and hence the development of neuropsychological diagnostic methods fit for its description and quantification is needed. For the assessment of global cognitive efficiency[INS: , :INS] the use of Mattis Dementia Rating Scale (DRS) has been recommended. The main purpose of [DEL: our :DEL] [INS: this :INS] research study is the validation of [INS: the :INS] sensitivity and psychometric properties of the Czech version of the DRS[INS: , :INS] in the assessment of cognitive impairment in patients with Parkinson‘s [INS: D :INS] [DEL: d :DEL] isease. The DRS was administered to 31 normal control subjects (NC) screened for the absence of cognitive impairment, [DEL: and :DEL] 42 patients suffering from PD – 12 cognitively impaired (PD-CI) according to the neuropsychological battery, and 30 who showed no[INS: , :INS] or minimal[INS: , :INS] cognitive impairment (PD-NI).[INS: Research :INS] [DEL: Our :DEL] findings, even though only preliminary due to insufficient number of cognitively impaired PD patients in [DEL: our :DEL] [INS: the :INS] study, support the discriminant validity of the DRS in differentiating PD-CI and NC, with the cut-off score of 138 points showing maximum specificity (100%) and high sensitivity (83.3%). The Initiation/[DEL: :DEL] Perseveration, Conceptualization and Memory subscales discriminated better than the Attention and Construction subscales. The concurrent validity of the DRS was supported by positive and significant correlation with the MMSE. Reliability of the test failed to be supported in [INS: the :INS] [DEL: our :DEL] study, possibly due to low variability of the measured trait in [INS: the :INS] [DEL: our :DEL] sample. We[JM32] are aware of the limitations of our research; nevertheless, we conclude that further investigation on the usefulness of the Czech version of the DRS in the assessment of cognitive impairment in PD is warranted.

[INS: :INS] Results: A total of 730 medical records were analyzed[INS: , :INS] from which monotherapy was applied in 237 hospitalizations. The average length of hospitalization was 17 days with an average cost 16.877 CZK in patients with monotherapy. The average length of stay with polytherapy was 37.7 days with an average cost CZK 45 123 per in-patient stay. The shortest length of stay with monotherapy of atypical antipsychotic drugs was in patients treated by paliperidone (13.9 days, mean daily dose 8.6 mg; mean inpatient cost CZK 18 582 ), further by clozapine (15.5 days, average daily dose of 351mg , mean inpatient cost CZK 18 876), by olanzapine (16.4 days , average 19.6mg daily, mean inpatient cost CZK 20307) by amisulpiride (17.2 days, average daily dose 474.8 mg, mean inpatient cost CZK 16 357), by risperidone (17.7 days, mean daily dose 3.6 mg , mean inpatient cost CZK 20 254). [INS: :INS] Conclusion: The shortest length of stay was for olanzapine, paliperidone, amisupliride. The lowest hospital cost in monotherapy was in the case of treatment with amisulpiride.

[JM7]Simple past for fixed past events [JM8]The concept is not clear here. It appears to say they would become authories at a future point. If this is the case, could you add dates or further details to be specific? [JM9]Add a brief definition or function (what it is used for) [JM10]An earlier description of function would contextualise these examples. [JM11]Singular or plural? If singular, insert „a“ before „working“. [JM12]As this is such a short sentenece, you could add more description here. Results of... are accurate. [JM13]In long statements look for clause breaks and use commas. The clause between the commas could be taken out and it would flow grammatically (though the defining relative clause here is essential). [JM14]Check if „identified“ is the right critical verb here. I’ve used it to exemplify inter-sentence and paragraph parallelism. You are using a very scientific „noun-phrase stacking“ technique, which is a continual sequence of noun phrase plus passive voice. The „there was...“ phrasing interrupted the flow of this. [JM15]It would be useful here to add information on whether these are first generation immigrants or later generations and when they started settling in the Czech Republic. [JM16]I advise avoiding phrasings like „the author“ to refer to yourself. It sounds quite dated and overly formal. The passive can be used to good effect here to establish objective authorial voice, followed by a parallel pairing of clauses begining with „how“ in the active voice of the participants. [JM17]What does this refer to? „The title of the study“ perhaps? I would say „the main research question, reflected in the title and the aims, is „+ question written as statement“ i.e. „...question on what the main factors are that...“ [JM18]Starting a question with „but“ would be very good in a press release or media report, but is less favoured in a thesis where a statement would be preferred. The same goes for the following sentence, which I suggest integrating with this one. The two questions beginning with „what“ and „and“ are more of a conjecture and are now balanced (two statements, two questions), where 4 questions would be too much. [JM19]I would suggest a sentence break here, otherwise it is too long. „It will the examine...“ [JM20]„are + ...ing“ 3 times = good parallelism [JM21]Quality of community life becomes a noun compound and specific concept. „Also“ is not needed as it is recognised that many factors influence well-being. [JM22]Use a full dash here. In Word you insert two hyphens without any spaces between previous and following letter and when you finish the following word it becomes a full dash. [JM23]From a human geographical point of view? [JM24]One or more communities? If one, put „a“ before „particular“. [JM25]This suggests uncompleted time, which would be „Since 2006... has provided“. If this is an ongoing study it might not be completed or published before 2013 and the two dates can be inserted and fixed in the past. [JM26]Can you be more specific here? [JM27]This says more about the value of training than the statement on certificates [JM28]Future? Subsequent? [JM29]No article with plurals [JM30]First mention of an item = indefinite article [JM31]The process needs clarifying here. 1) Is evaluation one of the criteria for establishing clusters, like financial performance? „and an evaluation of the impact...“ 2) Does the cluster exercise allow or result in evaluation? „which leads to evaluation...“ [JM32]Is this a team study? I have edited a number of references to we/our to make it more research neutral in style. Here you speak of concluding outcomes and we is an appropriate contrast to speak of limitations. [JM33]Before this and after ou are using a nound phrase stacking style and the „we“ + active interrupts the parallelism [JM34]Use all nouns or all ing verbs [JM35]Do you have a specific number? [JM36]This leads to a very long sentence, so a berak should be inserted here. [JM37]Will you be looking at synesthetic qualities here as well? [JM38]This doesn’t appear to add anything to the definition. [JM39]Page break inserted to stop Word from condensing ther layout of changes above this point. [JM40]Not countable [JM41]Is this the name of an actual centre? The words should be capitalised if it is.
