Sterilization of Roma women in Czechoslovakia in 60. to 80. years in social kontext
MEZEROVÁ, Kristýna
The Thesis definic Sterilization of Roma women in Czechoslovakia in 60. to 80. years in social kontext. The aim of this work is to chart the phenomenon of sterilisation of Romani woman in the 1960s to 1980s. The work will be a contribution to the debate on the non-obvious nature of human rights in totalitarian-run societies and may use in the future to compensate for analogon human rights abuses in other European countries or in other cultural circles. At the same time, it is a contribution to the discussion about the relationship of major companies of developed European countries with Roma or other ethnicities in general, which have difficulty adapting to the pressure of major society. At the same time, the work concerns medical ethics, the so-called biopower and medication of society, high-profile issues. To understand the issue, I outlined the evolution of eugenics and its effect on the sterilisation of Romani women. The work represents both medical and legal considerations. He also discusses the socialist society's attitude towards Roma. The work represents both medical and legal considerations. He also discusses the socialist society's attitude towards Roma. It discusses the consequences of limiting fertility on the women concerned from different aspects. This is research theoretical work, there is a historical method applied, especially analysis of literary sources. In particular, Czech-language but also English-language sources are used in the work. The work attempts to answer the following research questions: 1. What preceded the idea of limiting the fertility of Romani women? 2. Did eugenics affect the sterilization of Romani women? 3. How did socialist society feel about the influx of Roma? How did she consider the possibilities for their culture and fertility restrictions? 4. What were the consequences of limiting the fertility of Romani women in terms of social, psychological and physical?

Prevention of nosocomial infections origin and spreading in Český Krumlov a.s. hospital
KOCOURKOVÁ, Lenka
The present Bachelor thesis focuses primarily on the prevention of occurrence of hospital-acquired infections and the causes of spread of these infections across healthcare facilities. The thesis relies on active communication with the coordinator for management of quality and safety of nursing care, who helpfully provided me with valid information and documents relating to the system of hospital-acquired infection prevention, and arranged for sampling for microbiological examinations in postoperative care departments (ONP) - ONP II and ONP - C III, the hospital Nemocnice Český Krumlov a.s. The Bachelor thesis consists of a theoretical part and a practical part. The theoretical part summarizes knowledge related to nosocomial infections as such, the division and manner of transmission, with an emphasis of prevention of occurrence of these infections and spread of the same among "healthy hospitalized persons." The practical part explores the hospital's approved internal documents aimed at prevention of nosocomial infections and training of staff in the healthcare facility. Moreover, the practical part also verifies the prevention of nosocomial infections by means of microbiological tests. The entire research was carried out in cooperation with two hospitals: Nemocnice Český Krumlov a.s., i.e. the location of sampling, and Nemocnice a.s. Prachatice, the location of microbiological processing. The laboratory-based research part was solved in a microbiology laboratory in the hospital Nemocnice Prachatice a.s., with the aim of identifying the individual microorganisms from the smears taken in the postoperative care department in the hospital in Český Krumlov. These smears reflect the quality of the performed hygiene in connection with the risk of occurrence of nosocomial infections. In addition to laboratory-based research activities, the present thesis also examines the current quality and processing of the hospital's internal documents relating to the prevention of nosocomial infections and the training schedule for the hospital's staff in this respect - trainings are conducted on an annual basis. The thesis is concluded by a summary of isolated microorganisms and comparison of these microorganisms in the framework of the two hospital departments. Last but not least, the presence of highly infectious agents for occurrence of nosocomial infections is excluded on the basis of valid legislation. The thesis also provides a result of qualitative processing in a form of recommendations e.g. for improvement of purpose-directed cleaning. The thesis may therefore be used as a tool for improving awareness of this problem area.

Attitudes of Czechia and Slovakia towards the forced sterilization of Roma women in comparative perspective
Slaninová, Lucie ; Klípa, Ondřej (advisor) ; Kolenovská, Daniela (referee)
The bachelor thesis is a comparative two-cases study that compares approaches of Czechia and Slovakia towards forced sterilizations of Roma women that was taking place on their territory during several decades. Sterilization is a medical intervention disabling a human reproduction. Sterilizations were set in the seventies in the former Czechoslovakia in accordance with an eugenics ideology of controlling public reproduction and influencing quality of the society. Ongoing differencies between major society and Roma people lasted for centuries in spite of many attempts to assimilate Roma people and that is the reason why Roma women were the target. However, controlling reproduction of population is violation of human rights. For this reason, both countries had to accept apropriate restrictions. The sterilization policy was ignored for a long time, although complaints and activities of victims started to appear at the beginning of this century. All the speaking victims together with many nongovernmental organizations tried to obtain a compensation for victims of this unlawful policy of forced sterilizations. Therefore, state authorities of both countries started to act. First of all, Slovakia started interrogation as a consequence of a report "Body and Soul" in 2003. A new act of health care providing...

Transsexuality in law
Nguyenová, Nikola ; Šustek, Petr (advisor) ; Hendrychová, Michaela (referee)
Transsexuality in law Abstract Gender reassignment is a topical issue that concerns only a relatively small number of people and is not given the necessary attention in the Czech legal environment, although the legislation is insufficient for a long time and does not comply with internationally recognized human rights standards. The legal system is based on the binary concept of gender and trans people are often unable to place themselves within it. The title of the thesis reflects the legal situation of trans people in the Czech Republic, as the legislation pays attention only to transsexuals and allows them to achieve life in the official gender they identify as. The law forgets other trans people who, for various reasons, do not wish to undergo surgical gender reassignment and, due to unfavorable legislation, have to deal with unpleasant and humiliating situations and discrimination. The thesis provides an explanation of the terminology of the issue, a description of the process of gender reassignment and an analysis of the legal status of transgender people in the Czech Republic with an emphasis on a critical analysis of key aspects of gender reassignment. In addition, the provisions of the Czech legislation in the Civil Code, the Act on Specific Health Services, the Act on Registries and the Act on...

Study of plasma interaction with yeast Candida glabrata
Trebulová, Kristína ; Lehocký, Marián (referee) ; Krčma, František (advisor)
The main subject of this diploma thesis is the study of low temperature discharges´ effects on the yeast Candida glabrata (C. glabrata). Cold atmospheric-pressure plasma (CAPP) technology has achieved a great deal of attention in recent years, due to its positive attributes, including high efficiency against a wide range of microorganisms, ease of operation, economic simplicity and also environmental friendliness. The research of CAPP focuses mainly on the applications involving the treatment of cancer and superficial infections as well as sterilization technologies in medicine, food and agriculture. Various effects and also some mechanisms of inactivation of bacteria and tumor cells have been explained over the last decade but the effects and mechanisms of fungi inactivation have not yet been sufficiently investigated. The aim of this work is to verify the effects of chosen low-temperature discharges on the model yeast example C. glabrata, in order to establish basic plasma set-up for further studies and experiments in vivo and to expand a global knowledge about the antifungal effects of CAPP. In this study, 5 different discharges, namely: microwave (unipolar and surface wave) in the form of plasma torch, transient spark, corona discharge in the form of corona pen and dielectric barriere discharge (DBD) in the form of DBD pen were tested. All discharges were tested by direct application onto a 24-hour inoculum of C. glabrata inoculated on agar plates. The results were evaluated based on the size and stability of the inhibition zones formed in the post treatment cultivation. From the individual measurements optimal conditions for testing the inhibitory effects of low temperature discharges on the selected yeast were determined. The microwave discharges (unipolar and surface wave) were chosen to be the most effective in the inhibition of C. glabrata. The measurements were therefore pursued with these discharges under selected conditions corresponding to chosen application of sterilization of surface infections in living organisms. The unipolar microwave discharge was chosen to be the most effective discharge for the potential treatment of superficial candidiasis. The indirect effect of plasma was also investigated using plasma activated liquid (PAL) on inoculated yeast culture. PAL was prepared using 3 different discharges: Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD), Unipolar Microwave Discharge and Electric Discharge in Liquid. The results of this work prove significant inhibitory effects of CAPP on the yeast C. glabrata, within the limits of in vitro cultivation and the so-called flat biology. The overall inhibitory effects are directly proportional to the irradiation time, the magnitude of applied power and also the area covered by the discharge. In terms of the initial cell concentration an indirect dependency can be observed, but it can also be stated that this factor is less significant compared to the other examined factors. Observations of the effects of plasma activated liquid (PAL) indicate that a single application of PAL under selected conditions is not alone enough for successful inhibition of C. glabrata.

The Nazi ideology in relation to persons with mental disabilities
Kučerová, Zuzana ; Marková, Alena (advisor) ; Vávra, Martin (referee)
Diploma thesis "Nazi ideology in relation to mentally ill people" focuses on starting points and ideas of this ideology, which in its consequences led to social exclusion and subsequent systematic extermination of people with a certain handicap. Although the thesis is limited in time from 1933 - 1945, it also follows development line of selected scientific disciplines, which were significantly reflected in the Nazi ideology. Primarily it concerns historical science, medical disciplines, genetics, racial hygiene, eugenic origins and other related disciplines. The thesis also takes into account the economic situation of that time with its many social problems which arose as a result of the new geopolitical arrangement after the World War I and the changes in the social world of that period and it also captures the process of changes in the social status of mentally ill people in the course of history. Last but not least, it describes the practical consequences of these changes, which were "forced sterilization" and "euthanasia" of both children and adults. The Nazi ideology is viewed in this regard from three perspectives: legal, theoretical with a broader historical context and on the practical level in the form of the consequences of the two previous perspectives. Key words: nazi ideology, mental...
