The Quality of Life Analysis with Regard to Circadian and Diurnal Rhythm of Pubescents and Adolescents in Children's Homes in the Region of Pardubice.
ŠTORKOVÁ, Tereza
This thesis deals with the quality of life of pubescent and adolescent in children's homes in the Pardubice region with regard to circadian and diurnal rhythms. In the theoretical part we define in detail the concept of quality of life, pubescence, and adolescence, biorhythms with a division between circadian and diurnal rhythms, sleep and institutional care. More attention is paid to sleep, its importance, quality and above all sleep cycles that are directly associated with the subsequent research area. In the research section, four research assumptions are made. Subsequently, we process data from eight orphanages acquired in the period from December 2011 to June 2012 in the Pardubice region. The questionnaire survey has 125 respondents of which 59 are teenagers in the age range 10-14 years and 66 adolescents between the age 15 and 18. For this purpose we used a shortened version of the standardized questionnaire for circadian typology CIT - Harada, Tailor (2010). The data was evaluated using basic statistical methods. It was found that on weekdays pubescents averagely go to bed at 09:15 pm and get up at 6:45 am. On weekdays, the average sleeping time is 9.5 hours. On the weekend pubescents averagely gone to sleep at 10:30 pm and get up at 8.30 am. The average weekend sleep is 10 hours. Adolescents go to sleep on average at 10:00 pm and get up at 6:45 am on weekdays. The average sleep on weekdays is 8 ? hours. On the weekend adolescents go to sleep on average at 11:15 pm and get up at 9:15 am. Which means that the weekend sleep is an average of 10 hours. Three assumptions were met, and that, the average sleep time for pubescents on weekdays is longer than the average duration of sleep in adolescents. Adolescents have a bigger problem getting up on weekdays before puberty. Pubescents evaluate their sleep rhythm from a diurnal perspective as sufficient. One assumption was refuted and that is, adolescents sleep on average less during the weekend than their pubescent counterparts. The research was useful as it brings together the issue of the quality of life of adolescents in educational institutions and can serve both for further research and as an indicator of the quality of life.

Changes in body weight depending on circadian typology of adolescent girls during the year.
ROKOSOVÁ, Monika
This thesis deals with monitoring changes of body weight of adolescent girls at the age of 16 20 years old through one calendar year in the context of a season of the year and chronotypology of a personality. According to this typology the monitored people are divided into so called "larks", who are more active early in the morning and during the day and "owls" whose activity rises in the evening and at night. The theoretical part deals with circadian rhythms, their function, role in the life of an individual and also their disorders. It focuses on a developmental specification of adolescent girls, lifestyle in this period of life, changes of body weight and diet. Another part is the meaning of the sleep, its need and associated with good sleep habits and sleep hygiene.

Attention is also paid to the characteristics of the younger school age period and its development in the physical and psychosocial context. Research part brings the latest results of a questionnaire survey, to which I have used "Questionnaire of living rhythms and sleep regime 9 - 15 years" (Krejčí, Harada, 2010) and "Time shot of the day" (Mužík, Bártová, 2010). In the thesis there are compared two companies of the younger school age children - boys and girls from the three selected village schools. At the inconsiderable group of children I have found out disrupting of circadian hygiene with limited quality of sleep especially at weekend, irregular slightly and unbalanced food and increased intensity of playing computer and display games, particularly at boys. In the area of physical activity there were not found out worrying deficiencies.

Changes in bodyweight of woman working at the operating rooms during the year according to circadian typology.
KOVÁŘOVÁ, Jana
This bachelor thesis deals with degree of influence of women's circadian typology, which are working on operating rooms on changes of their bodyweight. The purpose of this thesis is to valorise, to what extent on changes bodyweight partake morning and evening typology. At the same time I take in consideration the influence of shift work, thereby violation of circadian rhythm. In supplemental inquiry I am investigating influence of typology on feeding habits, utilization of spare time and sleeping habits of interviewed women. In my surveillance 21 informant took part all in ages from 31-57 years. During the year I had monitored changes of their bodyweight and given scores I have compared with results of the questionnaire. The survey didn't confirm the presumption of higher count of night type women in the group. During the monitoring stage, all types showed similar curve of body weight fluctuation including dates of upper culmination. Contrary to our expectations, we´ve observed the greatest weight fluctuations in the morning type. The influence of typology on feeding habits is evident in the frequency of eating and in the composition of breakfast. All types handles´ shift work without any major differences. The spare time is spent, according to our presumptions, more actively by morning before the evening types.
