Web browser for seniors
Nguyen, Tuan Ninh ; Kubánková, Anna (referee) ; Komosný, Dan (advisor)
The thesis deals with the design and implementation of a basic web browser that is adapted for seniors in the age group of 90 years and more. It is one of the applications of the operating system for the elderly, which is used to facilitate the work on the computer. The web browser is developed in Python. It allows text enlargement, web page display, voice assistance and protection against fraudulent sites (phishing). The browser is easy to use. Every event in the browser is logged to an activity record with different levels for security risk assessment. Sending the entered information to the guardian of the elderly person is also implemented in the web browser, which occurs if the senior launches a fraudulent web page. This increases the protection of seniors from fraudulent attacks. The results of this work are published in the GitHub repository.

Seven nurses and seven hospitalized patients participated in the interviews. Data were processed using open coding, by the pencil and paper method. Five categorization groups were created for the interviewed nurses and four categorization groups for the hospitalized patients. The results in the empirical section show that the most common causes of falls include inappropriate footwear, wet floors, poor lighting and poor use of guardrails (barriers). Risk factors most commonly include associated patient illnesses, age, change of environment, poor accessibility of signalling equipment and use of medication. Regarding sequelae after falls, hematomas, lacerations and pain were the most common. Preventive measures for nurses are most commonly signalling devices, grab rails in bathroom, handrails in corridors.

I chose this topic because of personal enrichment with a theoretical basis for the practical side of things that I see every day in my job.

The theoretical part of this work shows the method of implementing zootherapy into the system of coordinated rehabilitation in homes for the elderly. It also outlines the training of therapists as well as possible barriers for workers to implement zootherapy. In the practical part of the thesis, a research investigation is described, which shows the concept of zootherapy in South Bohemian homes for the elderly. Out of a total of 34 homes approached, 28 homes participated in the research survey, of which 19 described their experiences with zootherapy. The research questions were divided into the following areas: socio-demographic questions, questions determining the course of zootherapy, questions determining the benefits of zootherapy, questions determining the method of keeping documentation, questions determining financing, and questions determining the involvement of individual family members of the multidisciplinary team. The semi-structured interview method was chosen for data collection. The results of this investigation are verbally summarized, graphically represented with the help of clear diagrams and enriched with the statements of the informants. The work is designed to bring clear information from the literature as well as practical understanding and can help other facilities in the implementation of zootherapy in the coordinated rehabilitation they already provide.
