Nursing care for alcohol-intoxicated patients in the traumatology unit
VRCHLAVSKÁ, Aneta
The thesis addresses the issue of nursing care for patients intoxicated with alcohol in the trauma centre, while being divided into two parts, meaning theoretical and practical. The theoretical part focused on defining the field of traumatology, injuries, ethyl alcohol, and the connection between injuries and alcohol. It also provided a description of patient care in traumatology, the specifics of nursing care for alcohol-intoxicated patients, and communication with intoxicated patients, including communication with aggressive patients. The aim of the research part of the thesis was to describe the specifics of nursing care for alcohol-intoxicated patients and to evaluate the communication between the patient and the nurse. Qualitative research was chosen for the research part. Data collection took place through written and verbal methods in the form of semi-structured interviews in early April. Data analysis was conducted using the pen-and-paper method. Subsequently, the data were organized into a system of open coding, comprising three categories and twelve subcategories. The research sample consisted of ten general nurses working in the trauma centre, six in the standard ward, and four nurses in the intensive care unit. The results indicated that except for one nurse, the surveyed nurses regularly encounter patients intoxicated with alcohol in their workplaces. According to the statements of the informants, the most common types of traumas associated with alcohol intoxication include falls, traffic accidents, suicides, assaults, visits to catering establishments or work in construction. Furthermore, the interviews revealed that the surveyed nurses perceive differences in nursing care and communication with patients who have trauma unrelated to intoxication and vice versa. They find the approach to intoxicated patients more demanding in this regard. In the interviews, the nurses mentioned the frequent practice of dealing with aggressive, uncooperative patients. Some nurses admitted that their personal attitudes towards intoxicated patients often influence their approach to these patients. It also emerged from the interviews that the surveyed nurses are not offered any further education in this area. The obtained results provided insights into the specifics of the issue, indicating potential communication shortcomings with patients for correction. The thesis will serve as a resource for creating simulation training scenarios (Appendix 1) to educate general nurses working in the trauma centre.

Reaction time of Persons Influenced by Alcohol
Ohera, Adam ; Bucsuházy, Kateřina (referee) ; Semela, Marek (advisor)
This thesis is focused on the issue of reaction time of those people who are affected by alcohol. The thesis is divided into two main parts, the first part is focused on the research of the present state and it submits the theoretical background related to the topic of this thesis. The second part describes both the experiments related to the reaction time of the people affected by alcohol and the evaluation of the results of such measurements.

Automatic table distillation column
Ružička, Michal ; Hanák, Pavel (referee) ; Dejdar, Petr (advisor)
The semester thesis deals with the issue of alcohol distillation and analysis for understanding at the level for construction of the facility itself. It deals with the requirements for the distillation equipment and parameters that may affect the quality of the distillate. On the basis of which is created automated control by microcontroller. This apparatus is exposed to tests and measurements of the required values during distillation. The cooling unit was also built and measured.

Energy drinks in contemporary nutrition
Krňávková, Martina ; Hrstka, Miroslav (referee) ; Vránová, Dana (advisor)
Bachelor's thesis is dealing with consumption of energy drinks and their effects on the human organism. The introductory part gives an overview of the most frequently occurring components of energy drinks including their chemical composition, properties and sources of these substances and nutrition recommendations. The next section describes the effects of consumption of energy drinks on the human body and health in general. The final part deals in detail with the impact of their consumption on sports performance and on human health and the possible consequences of consuming energy drinks combined with alcohol.

Design of personal breathalyzer
Ianishevskaia, Darina ; Rubínová, Dana (referee) ; Ondra, Martin (advisor)
Bachelor thesis resolve a design of personal alcohol breath tester. The goal is to design a product that solves ergonomic imperfections of currently existing products. The solution was in unconventional design of hygienic cover and unusual shaping overall. The final product solution meets the technical and ergonomic requirements and keeps the originally appearance.

Electric discharges in water and organic solutions
Klímová, Edita ; Brablec, Antonín (referee) ; Kozáková, Zdenka (advisor)
This work is focused on study of electrical discharges in liquids, especially in water solutions. Generation of the discharge in water solutions leads to simultaneous effect of UV radiation, shock waves, electrical field and most importantly, chemically reactive species. This can be utilized in many applications such as sterilization, degradation of organic waste products, lithotripsy or other medical applications. The experimental part is concentrated on a diaphragm arrangement of the reaction system. This means that the reactor is divided into two electrode reservoirs connected only through a small orifice in a dielectric barrier. This barrier is made of Macor® non-porous ceramics with thickness of 1 mm, with the diameter of the orifice 0.6 mm, in the first part of work. In the second part, ShapalTM-M ceramics of thickness 1.0 mm and orifice diameter 0.6 mm was used. The experimental part is divided into two sections. For both, NaCl is chosen as an electrolyte to set the initial conductivity of the tested solutions to the value of 400 S/cm. Supplied direct voltage is regulated to attain power of 100 W in the system. In the first part, effect of addition of chosen alcohols (ethanol, isopropylalcohol and glycerol) on the efficiency of the discharge in their water solutions is studied. For this purpose, a special glass reactor was designed and constructed. The efficiency of the discharge is measured by a spectroscopic determination of concentration of complex formed by a titanium reagent and hydrogen peroxide, which is generated during the discharge. The results show no positive effect of addition of extra OH group to the reaction through the alcohols. The use of isopropylalcohol causes even a significant decrease in the amount of hydrogen peroxide generated. The subject of the second part is a comparison of effect of different electrode materials on the discharge. The efficiency is measured by the same method as in the first part. Materials chosen were stainless steel, platinum, aluminium, copper and carbon. Each material shows different hydrogen peroxide production rate under the same parameters. The most perspective material seems to be carbon, as an inert material, that can be expected not to initiate any decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. The least favourable appears to be copper. When used, no production of hydrogen peroxide was observed in one of the electrode parts of the reactor.

Shadows/Conspiracy
Valchářová, Martina ; Houdek, Vladimír (referee) ; Rathouský, Luděk (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with psychosis. Portraits of people who suffered from some type of psychosis, and which in most cases is caused by long-term drug abuse or drinking of alcohol. This is depicted with figurative painting in such a way that the painting that its style and the color spectrum corrensponds to the profile of a person with this form of mental illness and mental changes in the brain at different stages of of the disease. The output will be a series of paintings of a united size of formats that will be based , thematically a basis of dialogues with people who currently suffer or have suffered from some psychosis. The authenticity of the experiences of these people with toxic psychosis is very sensitive material, therefor it is proccessed, in this series, in such a way that can it bring closer to the viewers to posibally unimaginable situations and ways of perception of reality.
