Influence of deep brain stimulation on postural stability in patients with Parkinson disease
Zelenková, Jana ; Kobesová, Alena (advisor) ; Zárubová, Kateřina (referee)
Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disease of the basal ganglia. Its main symptoms are rigidity, tremor, bradykinesia, hypokinesia and postural instability. One possible way how to infuence diseases is neurosurgical treatment - deep brain stimulation. The principle is the implantation of electrodes in the basal ganglia and modulation of activity of the basal ganglia circuits due to electrical stimulation. Stimulation affects the motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease. This thesis deals with the influence of deep brain stimulation on postural stability in patients with Parkinson's disease.

Predisposing factors of allergies XV.
Zelenková, Jana ; Jílek, Petr (advisor) ; Kudláčková, Zděnka (referee)
Jana Zelenková Predisposing Factors of Allergies Diploma thesis Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Pharmacy Background: We were monitoring incidence frequency of allergic rhinitis symptoms by the seniors. Further we tried to find out the main predisposition factors of allergic rhinitis. Main findings: We completed the questionnaires with respondents from Hradec Králové senior's home. Through evaluation of the answers we found out the 21% incidence frequency of allergic rhinitis symptoms. The passive smoking and a long-term occurrence in a polluted or dangerous environment (i.e. the environment with a high quantity of dust, pollen, moulds etc.) appeared as main predisposition factors of allergic rhinitis. More frequented symptom incidence of allergic rhinitis we determined by persons born in spring or autumn period in age group from 80 to 89 years and by respondents living in their childhood in a countryside and by female. Respondents with allergic rhinitis incidence made often breathing difficulties known. Conclusion: The allergic rhinitis symptoms are not the problem only among young population but we can meet them plenteously as well by the seniors.

Protection of the privacy of patients in Gynaecology and Maternity department
Zajíčková, Markéta ; Haškovcová, Helena (advisor) ; Zelenková, Jana (referee)
This presented master's thesis deals with the protection of the privacy of patients in hospitals. This thesis is divided into two chapters. The first one is called Literature part, and deals with the explanation of such terms like patient, description of the relation between a patient and a doctor, and description of historical development of this relation. It also deals with the problems connected with the stay of patient in hospital and with explanation of the term of privacy. It is interested in protection of privacy in Czech legislative norms and profession ethics codeces, witch are connected with the rights of patients. The second chapter is Practical part and it describes the process of determination of the real status of the protection of privacy of patients at Gynaecology and Maternity of one hospital in the Czech Republic.There were used the technics of quantitative research for gathering datas from this department such as questionnaire, observation and unformal dilogues. This research was aimed at two populations The first one was formed by paramedics and the second one by patients. This research coclusion was that all the paramedics taking part in this project, know the etics codex The Rights of Patients, but almost half of them does not know the document The Convention on Human Rights and...

Approaches to the measurement of poverty in EU
Zelenková, Jana ; Kotýnková, Magdalena (advisor) ; Ševčíková, Michaela (referee)
This thesis focuses on current approaches to the measurement of poverty. The aim of the thesis is to evaluate if measuring poverty indicators and quality of life indicators used by United Nations Development Programme and Eurostat are meaningful enough. The theoretical part is an analysis of chosen indicators. The theoretical knowledge is followed by practical part, comparing poverty levels in member states of the European Union, and giving deeper insight into the analysis of sub-indicators. Furthermore, the thesis looks at informative value connected to mutual relations among the indicators. The comparison reveals that the level of human development is negatively related to aspects such as insufficient economic growth, inequality and low level of wealth redistribution. From an analytical point of view, new multi-criteria indicators are useful enough for the purpose of research on this topic, in spite of certain imperfections.

Spinnability of PEO solutions with respect to their aging
Zelenková, Jana ; Peer, Petra ; Filip, Petr
Non - negligible portion of pol ymer commodity suffers from ageing that participates in sometimes significant changes of products attributes. Rheology represents a useful tool for a description of this process. The aim of this contribution is to evaluate possible ageing of PEO solution ( polyethylen e oxide ( M w =300,000 g/mol) dissolved in water at 10 wt.% concentration) based both on rheological characterization and on quality of electrospun fibres. Rheological measurements in steady shear and oscillatory modes were carried out using a rota tional rheometer MCR 501 (Anton Paar, Austria) equipped with the concentric cylinders geometry. The electrospinning measurements were executed with the help of a proposed laboratory device. The tip - to - collector distance attained 20 cm, applied voltage rang ed from 20 to 30 kV. The obtained electrospun fibres were analysed using a scanning electron microscope (VEGA 3, Tescan, Czech Republic). Both types of measurements were carried out in the period of several months during which the solution studied was plac ed in a dark and tempered box (25°C). The measurements indicate no ageing impact on rheological characteristics or quality of electrospun fibres. This guarantees more or less the identical quality of non - woven textiles prepared from PEO solutions regardles s of time period during which the solutions are deposited.

Indicators of poverty and their construction
Zelenková, Jana ; Kubelková, Karina (advisor) ; Kotýnková, Magdalena (referee)
The thesis concerns issue of the economic growth or income as a sufficient indicator to size up poverty situation and its development. The aim of the thesis is to find poverty measurement possibilities and to describe consequently the differences in results related to the selected indicators. Income inequality index is presented as part of the thesis and also GDP values are emphasized. The thesis also covers practical calculation of Human Development Index (HDI) and Human Poverty Index (HPI). On the basis of empiric values concerning HDI and HPI published in UNDP materials, three EU member states were chosen on which calculation of mentioned indices is demonstrated and compared with situation in the Czech Republic in consequence. Further, differentiation results between HDP and HDI are presented. They point out to the rate at which the economic growth is efficiently used in favour of society that occupies an important position in the process of economic development.

Actual position of man and woman in a fully - functional family
ZELENKOVÁ, Jana
Gender roles and their combinations in the family and society require a great deal of tolerance and understanding from both women and men. Family relations influence the changes which are brought by transformation in the economy as well as in the entire society. Models of a common life in the family are changing gradually, because the gender stereotypes and roles which were accepted by women and men during the historical development require a change. In conjunction with the research, the women are not only housewives and homemakers, but also equal partners with the men in a lot of fields of a family and social life. Modern men help the women take care of both homes and children though they are still important breadwinners as results from this Bachelor's thesis. Quantitative research of this Bachelor´s thesis was carried out in the district of Písek. The women and men come from towns having around 5,000 inhabitants and from villages with around 400 inhabitants. A questionnaire was selected as an important research instrument. The only respondent selection criterion was the age of 40. Out of 150 distributed questionnaires, 108 questionnaires were returned and could be used in the research. The rate of return was 72 %. Hypothesis 1 assumed that working women break the gender stereotypes. This hypothesis was confirmed. Hypothesis 2 assumed that now in a present nuclear family more than half of the women prefer their families to their careers. This hypothesis was also confirmed. Hypothesis 3 assumed that the gender stereotypes are more often broken by families living in towns than by families living in villages. This hypothesis was not confirmed. This Bachelor´s thesis have brought information from the field of the status of women and men in complete families. The results could help to map the present situation or could be used by students creating educational programs focused on these problems.
