I recorded the daily routine and all the activities, which I had during my compulsory practice. I coded these records and I noted them in the diagram and then I described the codes in the reference to the daily records. The text was supplemented with photo documentation from a normal day in the home for the elderly. The part of annex is a list of categories and resources used to create diagrams and transcribed daily records during the stay. The results showed that I was most affected by the isolation that affected my behavior and I experienced a lot of negative feelings. Furthermore, eating when were meat dishes served was sometimes difficult for me as for vegetarian. I had a hard time perceiving my departure from the facility, because I spent a lot of time here and became to be part of the team.

MATOUŠKOVÁ, Lenka. Psychological Aspects of the Father-Daughter Relationship. Prague: The Faculty of Arts of Charles University, 2012. 259 pgs. The final thesis. The title of this work is "Psychological Aspects of Father-Daughter Relationship". In its theoretical part it summarizes mainly Czech, but also some foreign, contributions related to the topic of fatherhood, the specifics of paternal behavior and the importance of a functional father for the psychological development of girls. The issue is also viewed from the perspective of possible negative impacts on the psychological development of women who grew up without their fathers. The analysis is primarily focused on their problems with self- esteem, self-confidence and self-image, identity, emotions and emotional life but also on difficulties in future partner and intimate relationships. The theoretical part, with regard to the research, also discusses the concept of risk and protective factors. It respects the current trend of leaving aside pathogenic and shifting towards salutogenic factors, so it focuses mainly on mapping the protective factors in the psychological development of girls who grew up without their fathers while not excluding the risk factors. In the practical part, the topic is treated in qualitative way using retrospective...

Pharmacological evaluation of potencial drugs for Alzheimer's disease treatment
Matoušková, Lenka ; Vopršalová, Marie (advisor) ; Říha, Michal (referee)
Charles University in Prague Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Pharmacology & Toxicology Student: Lenka Matoušková Supervisor: PharmDr. Marie Vopršalová, CSc. Consultant: PharmDr. Vendula Šepsová, Ph.D. Title of diploma thesis: Pharmacological evaluation of potencial drugs for Alzheimer's disease treatment Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by aggregates of beta-amyloid, neurofibrillary tangles of tau protein and by the loss of cholinergic neurons in the basal forebrain and hippocampus. Cause of AD is still unknown and only symptomatic treatment is available thanks to inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and memantine, inhibitor of glutamate receptors. M1 muscarinic positive allosteric modulators (PAM) represent another variant of treatment that can improve cholinergic transmission. Thanks to their selectivity, they are able to decrease side effects. The aim of the study was to measure novel compounds' abilities to inhibit AChE and BChE and simultaneously act as PAM of M1 receptors. Enzymes inhibition was measured according to Ellman's method and IC50 values were determined. For fluorescent measurement of compounds interaction with muscarinic receptor the CHO cell line stably expressing the M1 receptor subtype was used. Statistical analysis...

The theoretical part summarises demographics of an aging population in Czech republic with mention of the aging in the South Moravian region. Furthermore the terms related to aging as for example gerontology, geriatrics, ageism, senior, old age and aging.

The goal of this thesis is to try to find out in which aspects the lifestyle of seniors surveyed has changed significantly. Given the target group a qualitative analysis of semi-structured interview, observation and questioning was chosen. Data are retrieved through interview with a client. The interview was divided into seven areas, which included various points which I questioned during my research. The areas consist of introducing the communication partner, physical and functional changes, changes in eating habits, leisure activities, sleep, quality of life, and finally I asked about programs for a healthy and active life of seniors. That was part of its investigation questioned. Circuits are made by introducing communication partner, physical and functional changes, changes in eating, leisure activities, sleep, quality of life, and I finally interviewed on programs for a healthy and active life of seniors. The research group consists of twelve seniors who live in social facilities, homes for the elderly. The average age of the communication partners is 81 years. According to the results, the biggest changes are observed in the area of leisure activities and eating habits.

This Bachelor work deals with the issue of kinship caregiveners, especially grandparents raising their grandchildren. It is divided in two parts, theoretical and empirical. In the theoretical part there are the system of substitutional parental care in the Czech Republic and its limitation in law being described. In detail the text focuses on kinship caregiving and points out difficulties the grandparents are confronted with. Further on, the text describes current system of social work with these families, as it is set in the Czech Republic. Mail goal of the work is to present some sort of map of main difficulties, these grandparent caregiveners have to face, especially when we put these into the context with the problems on the biological parents side, that caused this state. To meet this goal, I set one research question, chose qualitative research strategy and the method of half-structured interview. I chose the research file by the method of stratificational intentional choice. So that I divided the basic file into several groups according to the type of the main problem, which was the cause of the state, and chose one representative of each group. The interviews were divided into particular topic categories using the cluster method and those were further analysed. This work can serve as a source of information about this families of caregiving grandparents for social workers in non-profit organizations that works with them, especially in the south bohemia region, where the research was made. Because we can presume, that the group of these families will rather get bigger in the future.

The paper describes the development of the nursing process and all required documentation used when completing this task. From a theoretical perspective the paper deals with the content and application of all nursing documentation in terms of the relevant legislation. From the practical perspective the research was completed utilizing a questionnaire approach. The questionnaire was delivered at ÚVN in Prague. The research focus is about getting the information about documentation, how information is interpreted between departments as well as the incidence or impact of incorrect documentation. One of the goals of the research was to determine the satisfaction of staff regarding nursing documentation. The research concluded that clear education regarding nursing documentation requirements is required when the nurse first is exposed to the area. Furthermore the research describes that nurses are well informed about the required documentation during the orientation process. It also demonstrates that nurses are kept informed regarding legislation changes as well as the consequences of incorrect documentation. Key words: nursing process, nursing documentation
