KOPECKÁ, Iveta
The bachelor thesis deals with the creation and verification of a three-month interventional movement program for people with mental disability. The theoretical part of the thesis focuses on the characteristics of people with mental disability, health promotion and familiarization with the Healthy Communities project. The practical part deals with the measured data of the input and output measurements and the effect of the intervention program on the experimental and control group. The aim of the interventional movement program was to meet or approach the research assumptions. In the input measurement BMI 28.33 and in the output 27.67 were measured in the mean values. The spine flexibility was in the entry measurement averaging -12 cm and improved to -9 cm in the output measurement. In the sit-up test, they reached an average of 10 sit-up/ min in the input measurement and improved to 15 sit-up/ min in the output. After processing all measured data, the results showed that the interventional movement program had a positive effect on the probands of the experimental group.

Proteomics, Lymphocyte Population in Multiple Sclerosis and Disability
Pavelek, Zbyšek ; Vališ, Martin (advisor) ; Mareš, Jan (referee) ; Hradílek, Pavel (referee)
Introduction Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory demyelinating and neurodegenerative disease affecting the central nervous system. Although research on the diagnosis and treatment of this serious illness has made significant advances, the MS etiology remains unknown. Although there is still much to be found in the MS pathogenetic mechanisms, understanding the mechanisms of immune-mediated damage to the central nervous system (CNS) components of MS allows not only the introduction of new drugs that positively modulate inflammatory inflammation but also the understanding of immune- mediated diseases affecting the CNS in a broader sense. Methods The Ph.D. thesis is a general introduction followed by an annotated set of author's publications on proteomics, lymphocytic population in MS and disability. Study 1: Proteomic analysis of cerebrospinal fluid for relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis and clinically isolated syndrome was conducted to find changes in the low molecular cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) segment and to determine what native peptides and how much they are in cerebrospinal fluid among patients with clinically isolated syndrome (CIS) and relapsing-MS (RR MS) compared to a healthy population. Study 2: Lymphocytes in the treatment with interferon beta-1b targeted individual...

Specific features of communication of the social and health care worker with a disabled child's family.
PALASOVÁ, Andrea
The topic of my thesis is the Specific features of communication of the social and health care worker with a disabled child's family. The content of the theoretical part is the introduction of attitudes that make the family and the child with disabilities a close surrounding and a wider society. In this section we also find the phases that parents are going through when diagnosing their child. An important topic in this work has also been the way in which information on the diagnosis or health status of the child is communicated to its family members. In the theoretical part, I also dealt with the possibilities and types of communication both general and specific in helping professions. I mainly focused on communication in health care and social work. In the methodological part, I used qualitative research. In particular, I applied the technique of a semi-structured interview when I interviewed family members of children with disabilities and a structured interview with open questions led by doctors and social workers. The aim of the thesis is to identify which ethical aspects can influence the effectiveness of mutual communication in connection with the specific family environment of a disabled child. The work highlights mistakes in communication in specific situations and seeks the principles for the most appropriate communication with family members of children with disabilities. The result of the work is to find out what are the most common errors in communicating with the family of disabled children in the work of social and healthcare workers and what their ethical aspects are affecting them.
