Popcultural form of neo-shamanism
Nesládková, Tereza ; Koudelová, Šárka Basjuk (referee) ; Mikyta, Svätopluk (advisor)
The central theme of my final thesis is contemporary secular spirituality. I am interested in the correlation between the general mood in the globalized society of the Euro-American world and the specific way of dealing with spirituality and mysticism. I assume that, as a result of the widespread feeling of insecurity, the desire to achieve the illusion of community and the need for an excess of order is a fundamental characteristic of our time. It is determined by a highly individualistic regime of contemporaneity, a time of excess spectacles, cynical indifference to reality and illusion. It is a time when visions are lacking and when goods and interpersonal relationships have a short lifespan. The formal form of this neo-spirituality in the context of pop culture also has a defining and telling value for me.

The incidence of MRSA in Nemocncie Havlíčkův Brod during the years 2009 - 2013
KOUDELOVÁ, Šárka
Staphylococcus aureus is a gram-positive bacteria living in one third of human population as a natural skin microflora, nasal flora in particular, where in majority of cases this bacteria does not evoke any reaction. In some cases, however, S. aureus may cause severe health issues, ranging from minor festering disease to severe sepsis, which can even lead to death (Votava, 2010). Major problem occurs while the individual is infected with Methicilin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), as this type is resistant to majority of antibiotics, making its treatment more difficult and financially demanding. The biggest danger associated with MRSA lies within its high presence in medical centres and hospitals, which is one of the reasons responsible for its rapid spread in whole population. In other words, there is a high volume of individuals, who are infected from those regularly present in affected areas, but without symptoms of infection, such as hospital staff, other patients etc. In the theoretical background section of this thesis, author discusses the following topics related to the area of research: general information about S. aureus - taxonomy, cell structure, details of diseases caused by this bacteria, factors of virulence, resistance to antibiotics and detection of type. In addition, author focuses on MRSA, in particular in its role as a source of nosocomial infections. Moreover, the work takes interest in anti-epidemic solutions that should be put into practise in order to decrease and eliminate the spread of MRSA. To link this theory with the practise, author explores the internal anti-epidemic policies of Havlickuv Brod hospital in the final part of this study. The actual research part of this study took place within Havlickuv Brod hospital in 2013.Hypotheses made by the researcher suggest presence of S. aureus between 2009 and 2013. Research points out to the existence of MRSA in clinical material as well the detection of MRSA in routine laboratory. The results of the study indicate that both S. aureus and MRSA are evident in the studied hospital. Data collected during the research are consistent with the hypotheses, as the data, assorted into tables in results section of the study demonstrate existence of S. aureus and MRSA in the Havlickuv Brod hospital within the five period of research. Furthemore, an antibiogram of MRSA-positive patients divided into types of hospital-asociated and community-asociated has been designed on the basis of laboratory data. The final part of the results section considers the detection of S. aureus and MRSA results from routine laboratory. As the presence of MRSA in the studied hospital is insignificant, its detection has been conducted on the basis of sample groups, from upper respiratory tract samples, thanks to which the research has been able to identify S. aureus as a part of microflora, and MRSA as an example of presence of asymptomic infection. In regards to the methods carried out by researcher, as the laboratory used was not equipped with PCR, the types of MRSA have been identified using disc diffuse test. Such method is more timely consuming, nevertheless as there was a low presence of MRSA in the research area, this method served its aim with reliability comparative to PCR. The Discussion section of the thesis consists of the summary of results, where the author comments on the results and data collected in this research, and analyzes their significance in comparison with the data collected in the past. Results are also discussed in relation to the hypotheses made by the research prior to the study.
