Palliative care is provided by patient's family at home
KUČEROVÁ, Tereza
The thesis, titled Palliative Care Provided by Patient's Family in Home Environment, discusses the specific care needs of a terminally ill patient in his/her own home. Caring for an ill person in a home environment is beginning to be a growing trend in home care, but also it is an increasingly common wish of the patients themselves. The family is therefore required to have enough theory and practical knowledge in order to deliver a highly demanding personal care for their close family members. The aim of the thesis is to summarize the current situation of delivering palliative care in home environment in Czech Republic whilst concentrating on the specific needs of the patient and the needs of their family. The objectives of the research were to determine whether family members were introduces to the specifics of palliative care of terminally ill patients; to map their skills in delivering palliative care in home environment and to reveal the most common issues that family members come across in that home environment. The final objective was to map out services in regions of Central Bohemia and Liberec that are accessible to family members whilst caring for a terminally ill patient. The research part of the thesis was completed employing a method of qualitative investigation using semi-structured interviews with patient's family members and nurses providing hospice care in home environment. It emerged from the analytical interviews that the family's knowledge level regarding support for palliative care in home environment is very limited and in hospitals families are only given minimal or no support or information. As a final document for the thesis an informative educational brochure was created based on the results of aforementioned research, primarily targeting patient's family; its core objective is to improve information and collate the specifics of care that would allow the patient a dignified end to their life.

Kučerová, Tereza ; Srstka, Jiří (advisor) ; Bednářová, Veronika (referee)
In my diploma work I focused on system of function of talent agencies. On one side there are systems of continental talent agencies, mostly based in Europe and on the other side are Anglo-Saxon system that are used by most of the agencies in Great Britain and United states. During my observations I intended to reveal the mechanisms and their differences. On first part of my study describe more general cases in order to help readers initiate into the problematic. In this part I define terms like talent agency, agent than more closely specify artist, who are being represented etc. Further on I focus on relating economical and law issues, on which bases agent and talent agencies work. In second chapter I deal with talent agencies from continental environment. Here I name and specify in detail all prominent and important European agencies.
Second part of this chapter I dedicated to Czech Republic, its historical evolution of talent agencies and its present. Next chapter focus on Anglo-Saxon agencies and towards of my work I evaluate common and different characteristics of these agencies operating in two different environments.

China in Africa - development and motives of cooperation
Kučerová, Tereza ; Dvořáková, Vladimíra (advisor) ; Knotková, Vladimíra (referee)
The China-African relations have a tradition of several centuries. However, in last two decades, the character of their relations changes and is getting the dimension of a phenomenon. Currently, China is in a very advantageous position - one leg in the developing world, the other in the developed one. Its economic growth reaches about ten percent a year and its economy has enlarged beyond the state's frontiers. China thus becomes dependent on the international trade in both export and import of sources. The African continent can offer both. This situation, however, is hardly compatible with the role of a superpower which China desires and which is attributed to it by many specialists. This thesis analyses three motives of mutual cooperation - commerce, raw materials and political and strategic interests. Its aim is to give a compact and comprehensive picture which will prove the trueness of the three motives. For better accession and understanding, case studies of selected countries are an integral part of the thesis.
