Falls as an Indicator of Quality of Care in Social Organization
Widenská, Kristina ; Furmaníková, Lada (advisor) ; Procházková, Martina (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with the issue of falls among the elderly placed in residential social care facilities. The author mainly focuses on the issue whether the falls can be viewed as a quality indicator of the offered care. The author deals with the issue of falls both on the general level (legislation, standards of quality) and also on the level of a specific residential social care provider represented by home for the elderly Sue Ryder in Prague. Further, the author deals with the issue of falls in inpatient healthcare facilities, as this issue is viewed as an important indicator in terms of comparing quality of care between social care and health care facilities. The key issue of the thesis are the ways to prevent falls of the elderly, so that their basic rights (especially the right to have their own choice), independence and self- sufficiency can be maintained, and also the intervention procedures in these cases. The aim of the thesis is to provide its readers with suggestions on how to improve quality of healthcare in terms of dealing with falls. These suggestions are based on the author's thorough examination of the relevant theoretical and legislative materials. The suggestions are further based on analyzing the fall records, covering a period of 18 months, provided by Sue Ryder...

Individualization in providing diets in homes for the elderly
Pechušková, Pavlína ; Havrdová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Procházková, Martina (referee)
Diploma thesis is focused on the individualization in providing diets in three homes for the elderly in the South Bohemian region. The main goal of the qualitative research was to uncover what the options of the homes in providing the diets are, where the boundaries and the limits of the individualized care are and what the clients' attitude toward individualization is. Results of the research show that the homes for the elderly can accommodate just to the basic requirements of the client, such as replacing unpopular dish or side dish for another one. Medical restrictions of the clients in preparation and serving their food are taken into account. The homes don't have the capacity for greater individualization. Another problem is the lack of staff. The homes are limited by legislation rather than by their financial budget. Clients' conservative and conformal attitudes are not empowering managers to expand some options or to change the system. The concept of the individualization is interpreted by the homes for the elderly in different ways. In practice, they rather just try to individualize the diets, than truly doing it. It turned out that individualization is a complex phenomenon and the extend of its fulfillment depends mainly on organizations' overall approach to the clients and on the clients'...

The role of cholesterol-7alpha-hydroxylase in cholesterolemia regulation
Procházková, Martina ; Kovář, Jan (advisor) ; Zelenka, Jaroslav (referee)
Cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase (CYP7A1) is an enzyme catalyzing the first step of conversion of cholesterol to bile acids. The enzyme activity is regulated to supply enough bile salts necessary for absorption of fats in the intestine. In some species it contributes to cholesterol elimination from the body when dietary cholesterol intake is high and, in such a way, protects against the development of hypercholesterolemia. CYP7A1 activity can be therapeutically affected by administration of bile acid sequestrants that increase the enzyme activity and thus lower cholesterolemia, and also by administration of bile salts. The enzyme deficiency in humans results in hypercholesterolemia. Several single nucleotide polymorphisms were identified in gene encoding CYP7A1 in humans. They form three large haplotype blocks. The most attention has been paid to the -203A>C polymorphism that has an impact on cholesterol and lipoprotein concentrations, on the response of cholesterolemia to dietary intervention and on the response to hypolipidemic drugs. Key words: Bile acids, cholesterol, cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase, diet, genetics, treatment of hypercholesterolemia

Criteria Influencing Ski Resort Profits
Procházková Uvizlová, Martina ; Urbánek, Zdeněk (referee) ; Klika, Pavel (advisor)
The main goal of my work is to set the criteria which have an influence on the profit of the ski resorts. The topic deals with building valuation, public database and data about air temperature. The part of the thesis is about building valuation of two companies that own chosen ski resorts. The valuation is done by the definite valuation regulation, single objects in the way given by the valuation notice. For main influential criteria was needed to get the information about profit and expense, this information was necessary for assessment of the company profit. From this information we can say that gross profit relies on the rent which both companies have to pay for ski lift and lift area. Assessment of criteria is about the location of the ski resorts. The most important criteria are the accommodation capacity and the weather. The accommodation capacity is going together with attendance. Because of the possibility of sleeping over the visitors of the ski resorts, the weather and the air temperature have an influence on the snow quality and this is going together with the length of the skiing season.
