Use of the conceptual model by Calliste Roy in the evaluation of needs of the generation 50+
HOTAŘOVÁ, Zdeňka
The conceptual models in nursing care provide healthcare workers with a comprehensive philosophical-theoretical framework for provision of care to both healthy and ill individuals. They also contribute to develop nursing as a self-standing scientific discipline, supply a common language, an opportunity to make communication more efficient, to improve the provided care, they constitute a tool to evaluate the intervention results and last but not least, they support the education and the development of practice. The Calliste Roy's model, developed in the 1970s already and called "Adaptation model", understands the human as a holistic being that is in permanent interaction with the internal and external environment. According to the Roy's model, nursing is aimed at influencing the individuals' health in health, but also in illness, and at achieving their efficient adaptive behaviour. Our goal consisted in finding out the particularities of nursing care in clinical and community practice in the 50+ generation, under application of Calliste Roy's Adaptation model. Six hypotheses were formulated in collection with the set goal. Quantitative investigation under use of a non-standardized questionnaire was performed in order to get the data needed for processing of the research part of the work. The results of the investigation allowed confirming five out of the six hypotheses set. It was proved that with increasing age, 50+ people experience serious changes at 26 of the changes under evaluation. However, it was not confirmed that the life changes of the 50+ generation directly depend on gender, as no statistically significant connection between all changes tested and the gender was proved. It further applies that with increasing age, the percentage of individuals assessing the attitude to changes as negative rises significantly. It was also found out that the attitude of men towards changes is significantly more positive than the women's attitude. With increasing age, it is more and more difficult for the respondents to adapt to changes in their lives. However, men state significantly more often to be able to adapt to changes without difficulties, while women state difficulties significantly more often. A recommendation for practice consists in applying Calliste Roy's Adaptation model not only to assess the needs of the 50+ generation, but primarily in applying modified nursing case history in practice to support comprehensive assessment of the patient/client. The work brings stimuli for further research investigations, among other things.

Adapting Service Interfaces when Business Processes Evolve
Kudelas, Vladimír ; Nečaský, Martin (advisor) ; Richta, Karel (referee)
In the presented work, we study a derivation of an optimal communication XML schemas for a given conceptual model of a business process, complemented with a conceptual model of exchanged data and influence of a change in user requirements on derived XML schema. The work contains a review of important problems related to the topic. It also describes existing approaches of these problems. The work analyses a derivation of an optimal XML schema in detail. The approach presented in this thesis shows an ability to model exchanged data with a conceptual model of a business process. The thesis describes a solution, how to derive a concrete XML schema automaticly from a given conceptual model of exchanged data. Finally, the work contains a prototype implementation of the presented solution.

Circulation wells and their mathematical modelling
Nedvěd, Jakub ; Mls, Jiří (advisor) ; Šantrůček, Jaromír (referee)
Groundwater is our priceless natural resource and it is our duty to protect it and to take care of its quality. That is the reason why several techniques of pollution removal have been developed; the Groundwater Circulation Well technique (GCW) is one of them. This system enables us to clean contaminated groundwater effectively and in-situ (it means that there is no need to extract groundwater to the surface). This thesis is aimed at collecting and presenting our actual knowledge of the most common GCW systems. In the first part of the thesis the basic kinds of the GCW are introduced and their principles are presented. The remediation mechanisms are further described with respect to the character of the particular contamination. The chemical and biological processes controlling the contaminant degradation are described. Several experiments that were carried out and monitored in order to study the efficiency of GCWs are presented. In the last part of the thesis the mathematical modelling of GCWs is introduced. The partial differential equations governing the processes of flow and mass transport in the well surrounding parts of aquifers are presented and the corresponding initial and boundary conditions are formulated. The obtained numerical results and conclusions of their comparison with measured data are...

Design of a database for the administration system of projects of a design studio
Sládek, Daniel ; Palovská, Helena (advisor) ; Kučera, Jan (referee)
Objective of the bachelor thesis was to propose a database for the administration of projects of one design studio. In order to fulfil the main objective there were defined partial objectives, such as the analysis of requirements, design of database and the implementation of databases in MySQL. The thesis is divide into theoretical and practical part, while the theoretical part explains the methodology for the design of database in the thesis and the ER model. The practical part contains the analysis of requirements for a database and then the design of a database, when there is the result of model of databases at the end of each level. You will find a conceptual, logical and physical model of the proposed database in the thesis. Then such database is put into operation in MySQL and then the proposed database is verified according to the criterions of fulfilment in the end. Result of the thesis is the proposed database, which a company will use for the creation of system. Everyone, who wants to create its own system for the administration of projects, may be inspired by the proposed database.

Nursing in the development of modern treatment methods for patients with atrial fibrillation
PAVELKOVÁ, Zdeňka
The current period is characterized by profound scientific and technological progress not only in the medicine but also in the field of nursing, which is now based more on scientific knowledge than ever before. Nursing as a science requires professionally trained nurses providing high quality nursing care. Therefore, the development of modern medicine, particularly in the field of cardiology, justifies the need to change the perception and status of nurses with respect to patient care together with strengthening the prestige and status of nurses in society. The main research intention of the dissertation was to determine how the nursing behaviour in connection with the procedure of radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFA) due to atrial fibrillation (AF) is perceived by nurses and patients, what is the impact of the RFA on the life quality of patients with AF, and what is the level of education in patients with AF. To meet these goals the research, the empirical part was divided into two phases. In the first phase, a non-standardized questionnaire was used, role of which was to assess the needs of patients with AF before and after RFA comparing baseline and 1 year follow-up data. In the second phase, which only examined the conditions 1 year after the RFA, a standardized questionnaire CBI - 24 (Caring Behaviour Inventory) was additionally used together with another form with questions investigating education of patients. Further data were obtained from nurses taking care for patients during the medical intervention. The research results show that quality of life of patients with AF before ablation was reduced. Patients´ most common problem areas included pain, physical and mental problems. Our research also showed that if we compared meeting patients´ physical and mental needs, meeting physical needs was evaluated better. Another area under consideration was the education of patients. Evaluated results showed the fact that education was focused on its content rather than its form. Evaluation of the perception of nursing care from the perspective of patients and nurses was the last part of the research. The results of the survey showed that nurses evaluated technical competence better than the humanistic approach to patients. It was also discovered that patients evaluated areas focused on performance of nurses better than creating a relationship of security and safety for patients. Finally, the results indicated that communication is also problematic area. We managed to meet the set goals and gain both theoretical and practical recommendations. Analyzing the results, we found out that there is a need to support humanistic approach in nursing care for cardiac patients, communication and education.
