Possibilities of karstification of calcareous sandstones in the Jizera segment of the Bohemian Cretaceous Basin and evolution of conduits in the thick-bedded sandstones
Vojtíšek, Jan ; Bruthans, Jiří (advisor) ; Vysoká, Helena (referee)
Features typical for karst, such as fast groundwater flow and existence of open conduits were observed in various parts of Bohemian Cretaceous Basin (BCB). So far, vertical and areal extent of karst rocks is not known. In case of concerning conduits in quartz sandstones the observation of their evolution in profiles perpendicular to flow is missing. The thesis deals with above mentioned issues. Concerning potential to karstification it is limited to Jizera facial area of BCB. For this purpose, leaching of samples in hydrochloric acid were carried out. The hydrochloric acid was used as an accelerated simulation of natural processes of dissolution of rock by acidic solutions. The reaction of samples on leaching in acid, disintegration and content of the CaCO3 component were evaluated. CaCO3 content was determined also by calcimetry. Rocks which disintegrated can be a suitable for the evolution of karst conduits. According to the lithostratigraphic sections, the examined profiles belong to the TUR5 and TUR6 units - thus these units contain rocks suitable for the evolution of karst conduits. In Předměřice site about 23 % of samples disintegrated, in Kosmonosy site 8 % and in Turnov site 36 % disintegrated. Thus about 1/10 to 1/3 of tested profiles is prone to karstification and evolution of karst...

Personnel safety during cytoreductive surgery and hypertermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy
Stein, Radim ; Bruthans, Jan (advisor) ; Kordulová, Pavla (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with the protection of personnel in cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy, focusing on non-medical healthcare workers - anesthetist nurses. The aim of the work was to analyze the knowledge of anesthesia nurses in the use of personal protective equipment, the specifics of selection for the given performance, the use of an electrocautery with integrated suction, the availability of decontamination aids In case of an accident of cytotoxic substances and if the staff is afraid of their own health. The data was obtained through a questionnaire. For the research were selected anesthesia nurses working in operating theaters in selected health care facilities in the Czech Republic. The total number of respondents who participated in the research was 35. The results of the survey revealed that the staff did not find out what PPEs are recommended for this type of operation. It's either because the staff is less linguistically equipped or does not know EBN / EBP or EBM. The staff only uses those PPEs that are available to them. As a good result, 49% of respondents use an integrated electric exhaust system. With regard to the availability of decontamination aids, I have found that most of the staff does not know whether these utilities are available at...

Using environmental tracers and other methods to estimate mean residence time and water flow in karst areas, Czech Republic
Bruthans, Jiří ; Krásný, Jiří (advisor) ; Bosák, Pavel (referee) ; Buzek, František (referee) ; Grmela, Arnošt (referee)
5. CONCLUSTON -Springs in 9 se|ected areas Were studied. Areas difÍer in geo|ogy (|itho|ogy, tectonics, intensity of metamorphism), recharge intensity (móuntainous coniřa lowland areas) and intensity of karst development differing by climatic conditions, geology -Concentrated recharge is only minor importance in most of areas compared to diffuse recharge -Most of the springs (90%) show predominant infiltration during last two decades with minor content (0-30%) of water infi|trated in sixties and sevénties of the twentieth century (based on tritium content). Analysis of lBO variations in spring water indicate that contribution of short residence time component (MRT in weekš to months) is about 5-20o/o of the spring yield -These numbers are similar or somewhat lower to results of MRT studies in other karst areas in the world (mostly vast carbonate bodies), which show mean residence time of water in karst aquifers to be from several years to hundreds of years -Volume of water in catchments of particular springs based on mean yield of spring and mean residence time is in orders of units to tens of millions m3 -|n studied karst areas SFo and CFCs can give re|iab|e resu|ts. |f no data from trítium are available the residence time must be considered as a minimum age. -Mean residence time of water percolating...

Salt precipitation in subsurface zone of sandstone and other porous rocks and simulation of water transport and evaporation
Sommerová, Anna ; Bruthans, Jiří (advisor) ; Filippi, Michal (referee)
The main goal of this thesis was to find and compare salt-forming ions from samples of a subsurface zone of sandstone and other porous rocks. The surveyed samples came from different environments (humid and arid climate) from different locations in the Czech Republic, Jordan and the United States of America. Identification of various types of salt was based on evaluation of chemical analyzes of leached samples. Furthermore a laboratory experiment in which I used a fluorescein dye to observe the capillary rise and evaporation in unsaturated samples of sandstone was carried out. The salt content in the Czech Republic humid environment locations is generally lower than the one in foreign arid climate locations. Halit dominates in the locations Petra and Crystal Peak. In the other locations sulphate minerals dominate. The salts containing aluminum - alums were determined in the Czech Republic in the area of Czech Paradise and the surrounding. Relatively high concentrations of nitrate mineral nitratine were identified in the Devil's Pulpit location in Pilsen, the Czech Republic. From the observation of capillary rising experiments performed with artificially created honeycombs, I conclude that the height of the capillary rise is crucial for the transport of solution, and at a certain capillary height,...
