Specifics of nursing care fot patients with tinitus
PÁNKOVÁ, Zuzana
Tinnitus is the technical term for an unpleasant perception of the inner sound source, i.e. for rustle, which may be known as the noise in the head, fizz and ringing in the ears. Symptoms of tinnitus feels about 15% of the population. At the age of 65 years it has been almost every second. Tinnitus is not itself considered as a disease, but as a symptom, which may be a sign of other health problems, mental and physical kind. We distinguish subjective and objective tinnitus. Objective can hear usually and another man, subjective not, it is actually audible hallucinations, which occurs in most cases. Tinnitus is considered one of the great mysteries of human ear. Exposure to intense noise increases the risk of its occurrence. For example, frequent stays in noisy ambience, such as concerts, music festivals, night clubs or listening to music players at high volume levels. An accompanying physical symptom is often a hearing loss. A possible cause may be even injuries of the head, neck, vascular disease, or just an ear inflammation. It is recommended to avoid foods with excessive levels of salt, alcohol, nicotine, caffeine and some painkillers. For the diagnosis of tinnitus is required to undergo the complex medical examination, which includes a summary of the case history, medical examination and the audiological assessment. The first step is to visit a general practitioner and an otolaryngologist. Currently there is no approved drug specifically for the treatment of tinnitus. Most treatment options are based on the suppression of tinnitus, together with a reduction of stress. The patient can be helped by improving circulation in the blood vessels and in the cochlea. Therapy can also include elements of education, such as relaxation techniques and psychological therapy. There is the possibility of alternative treatments (acupuncture). This disease is due to its character very demanding on the psyche of the patient. People affected by tinnitus complain of impaired quality of rest and sleep, but also concentration, suffer mentally and physically. Often are they irritated and due to difficulties feel the uncomfortableness, what a relationship with their surroundings disturbs even more. They can have serious psychic problems. An integral part in the diagnosis and treatment of tinnitus, is a nurse. Audiometric examination is carried out by an audiological nurse, aligns the body and the head during otoscopic examination, blood draw and obviously has great effect on the mental preparation of the patient. During therapy nurse establishes a peripheral venous catheter, it is responsible for the proper application of vasodilator infusions, which consists not only in knowledge of the principles of administration of the infusion, but also in the proper patient education. Specificity of a work of nurses in hyperbaric oxygen therapy follows from a technical background, and the need for special physical, mental training and patient education. Research investigations have revealed the specifics of nursing care for patients with tinnitus, the most important seems to patient communication and education, furthermore, a specific examination methods (audiometry), the specifics of treatment (vasodilator infusions, hyperbaric oxygen therapy). The diversity in responses of patients to tintius, the impact of tinnitus on quality of life, needs and problems of patients with tinnitus - this all are the specifics, which nursing staff should know and adequately respond to them. The research shows, that the questioned nurses have general knowledge and skills in treating patients with tinnitus. They know the available investigative and therapeutic methods, problems of patients, know how to tinnitus evaluate and observe. Striking is the fact, that one interviewed nurse has had low professional skills with blood draw, venous catheter application and could not handle the preparation and application of a vasodilator infusion.

Hrajnohová, Manuela ; Pokorná, Magdaléna (advisor) ; Beneš, Zdeněk (referee)
The theme of this thesis is the musical life in Prague at the end of the 18th century on the example of stay of W. A. Mozart and L. van Beethoven. It comes out from Prague contemporary press and correspondence. It includes all aspects of musical life - education, church music, various concerts, festivities, theatre performances etc. Special attention is giving participation of prague elite at this cultural life, especially phenomenon of prague nobility patronage. Stays of W. A. Mozart and L. van Beethoven in Prague are the typical example of artistic concert tours, that the musicians undertook for profit and connections. In Prague press we can see taste of Prague audience - we learn a lot about importace of this stays from frequency and character of news. While we are very well informed about W. A. Mozart's stays from newspapers and correspondence and memoirs of contemporaries, we have only fragmentary informations about L. van Beethoven's visits here. It is proof of importance of W. A. Mozart and L. van Beethoven for contemporary musical reception, but also of social-cultural changes in Czech lands. They have become as consequence of the French Revolution and Napoleonic Wars. Period is not friendly to entertainment and Prague newspapers are full war news.

WORKING DIARY
Svobodová, Veronika ; ADÁMEK, Jiří (advisor) ; KRÁLOVÁ, Andrea (referee)
The text is conceptually divided into four segments. In the opening part I
reveal ideological basis, i.e. initial ideas, stimuli and main sources of
inspiration for my artwork. Next section exhibits free associations of thoughts
and follows my stream of consciousness as an author. In the interior
monologue I create network of essential and formative experiences and
encounters that has shaped my approach to creative work. Third part
presents theoretical background of the thesis and I deal with the nature of
perceptual experience and the dominance of visuality in the contemporary
technological and mass popular consumer culture. The chapter also briefly
outlines possibilities of displaying visible objects along with the historical
development of perspective in visual arts. The final part is dedicated to my
own practical outcomes, specifically installation BU (festival Arijuli 2015 in
Norway) and sensory theatre performance Močeradek gre čez cesto
(Lutkovno gledališče Ljubljana 2013) based on work of Slovenian poet Srečko
Kosovel. In these projects, I have dealt with the questions of how to create a
platform on which the viewer and artistic artefact could meet or how to ideally
accentuate space and time in order to encourage audience to stay actively
participating. Both projects are intentionally reflected together with the
description of immersive theatre. At first I describe fundamental principles of
the relatively new phenomenon, in particular the need of complete immersion
of the viewer into the artificial environment/fictional world that is arranged by
special medium aiming to influence his/her senses. The main goal of the
thesis was to uncover practical guidelines related to the issue of creative
methods in the field of immersive theatre. Hence my concluding statements
provide elementary instructions and "rules of game" for both audience and
author.

Balanchine Technique
Harazimová, Lenka ; Křenková, Mahulena (advisor) ; Janeček, Václav (referee)
My thesis called Balanchine Technique deals with the style of a classical dance that originated in America, exactly in the USA. Its founder was a dancer, choreograph and pedagogue, George Balanchine, a native Russian, who emigrated to the USA at the beginning of the 20th century. His ambition was to teach American people such a classical dance to feel comfortably and naturally. The principles of the traditional russian classical technique according to Agripina Jakovlevna Vaganova did not change, they stayed almost the same in Balanchine style. The main difference appears in different accents, dynamics and the style, which he adapted to the setting and to a new and modern era.
In terms of the submitted thesis I tried to describe each element of a classical dance according to Balanchine approach. I also focused on the difference between a russian classical dance technique and the Balanchine style. The thesis is divided into two parts. In the first part I took into account all main elements in the exercice a la barre and in the second part I dealt with basic elements in the exercice au milieu. The whole wording was supplemented with objective pictures. The thesis has been inspired by the book - Suki Schorer on Balanchine Technique.
