The comparison of quality seniors´ life in the institutional establishment in the period of time for two years
KORTUSOVÁ, Jana
The topic of old age and ageing is wide-ranging. The position of senior citizens within a society and the solution of the questions connected with the consequences of their growing age represents an integral part of the natural life cycle. Apart from their material security the quality range of senior citizens{\crq} life is made up of their state of health, accessibility of both public and private health, social and other services, marital status, the quality of housing, the chance of further education and developing social contacts. The quality of life is a very subjective and individual phenomenon. It involves different impulses for various people in different periods. There is a general tendency towards rising demands on the quality of life within the population and it the same with the oncoming generation of senior citizens. It is always necessary to ask oneself a question whether the quality of senior citizens{\crq} lives in institutional facilities is on an appropriate level and which are the factors influencing the quality of their lives. Evaluating the quality of life can be also looked upon as a subjective individual{\crq}s view of the individual aspects of his life. However, it is highly important that the living environment meets and satisfies the senior citizens{\crq} corporal, psychic, social and spiritual needs. This diploma thesis represents a continuation of the bachelor{\crq}s thesis: The quality of senior citizens{\crq} life in institutional facilities. The basic aim is to compare the quality of senior citizens{\crq} life in the institutional facility {--} the Old People{\crq}s Home of Kůsov within a period of two years. I have chosen the topic of the thesis because I have been working in an institutional facility for more than 21 years, and the quality of senior citizens{\crq} life has made me think about this problem more thoroughly. The diploma thesis includes the present state of affairs of the problems in question, the specification of hypotheses, methodology, the results of the research, discussion, conclusion, the list of the sources, key words and supplements. The description of the present state of affairs comprises the characteristic features of the senior citizens{\crq} population, senior citizens{\crq} state of health, their self-sufficiency and activities. Another concept is the quality of life. Provided that we combine the word quality with that of life, we will face the fact that various people can have and usually do have different ideas about what in fact comprises the meaning of their life, what makes their life of high quality. The quality of life is looked upon as a multi-dimensional quantity and is usually defined as a ``subjective appraisal of one{\crq}s own conditions of life{\crqq}. Further on there are institutional facilities and the new Social Care Act No. 108/2006 digest mentioned in this part. There have two hypotheses been specified in this thesis, which have been confirmed by the research. The original research sample of the year 2004 included 100 respondents: 40 men and 60 women. Within the period of two years 22 respondents died, 8 men and 14 women. These respondents were taken away from the total sample and, as a result, a new representative sample has come into being comprising 78 respondents, 32 men ans 46 women. The research was carried out by means of the method of a controlled dialogue, using a questionnaire for the users of the old people{\crq}s home, the standardized SEIQoL questionnaire and an ADL test. The results were compiled in tabular and chart form, and subsequently processed by means of the STATISTICA statistical programme. The discussion includes a summary of the research knowledge in comparison with the sources used. The conclusion comprises a summary of the complete research part. We can conclude that nowadays the quality of life in an institutional facility can reach a high level.

Těšitel, Jan ; Kušová, Drahomíra ; Bartoš, Michael
Nuclear power plant of Temelín is a phenomenon influencing almost all aspects of life of local population. The article is based on comparison of selected results gained within two sociological surveys, one conducted in the year of 1993 and the other in 2003. Relation of local population to the nuclear power plant was one of key issues addressed in both surveys. Perception of the nuclear power plant proved to have changed over time. The shift can be named äfrom danger to anxiety'. The main factor keeping population anxious about nuclear power plant seem to be a fact that the plant is visible from everywhere, representing thus ävisual contamination of environment' of some kind.

Comparison of Living Conditions in the Regions (Kraje) in the Czech Republic
Petrůj, Jan ; Nezdařilová, Eva (advisor) ; Bednaříková, Zuzana (referee)
Diplomová práce je zaměřena na komparaci krajů České republiky, která je založená na objektivních životních podmínkách, majících vliv na kvalitu života. Analýza bere v úvahu podmínky, které v daném kraji objektivně existují a přitom mají schopnost pozitivně či negativně ovlivnit život jedince a tudíž i kvalitu života. Analýza používá kvantitativní ukazatele, které lze bez zásadních problémů porovnávat, a které jsou v České republice statisticky sledovány. Analýza se vyhýbala použití subjektivních a objektivně těžko zjistitelných kvalitativních ukazatelů. V prvních dvou kapitolách je uvedena teorie kvality života včetně jejího měření. Cílem diplomové práce bylo analyzovat data pomocí speciálně vytvořeného agregovaného hierarchického indexu ? Indexu životních podmínek - a zjištěné závěry porovnat s předpoklady a již existujícími vědeckými výsledky.
