Limpouchová, Markéta ; Vopravil, Jiří (advisor) ; Šejvl, Jaroslav (referee)
This work deals with the purity of the illegal drugs methamphetamine, cocaine and heroin, and its implications in a broad context. The theses is divided into two parts - the theoretical and the practical one. The theoretical part provides background information about the selected illegal drugs. The aim is to introduce the drugs in the context of the topic of this work, whereby the reader may gain an understanding of the implications of illicit drug purity. It contains a brief history of the selected drugs and mentions the current prevalence of their use in the Czech Republic. It also provides basic information about the production, chemical structure, administration and effects of these substances. Furthermore, the negative health impact that the adulteration of these drugs may have is also discussed.The practical part focuses on two areas. The first objective of this work consists of a proposal to establish the optimal borders between the wholesale and retail quantities, which should increase the information value of the data. The second objective of this study consists of a secondary analysis of drug seizures and the purity of the most frequently used illegal drugs in the Czech Republic, in the context of an international comparison. It is hypothesized that the purity of imported illegal drugs (heroin and...

There is necessary interdisciplinary approach, focusing on psychosocial and environmental factors involved in the etiology of addiction among medical staff. The profession of paramedical staff demands to work with people and responsibility for their lives, so it is important that this work must be performed by a person in mental and physical well-being for performing adequate quality of care. Despite the awareness and exploration of burnout syndrome, the occurrence is still a current issue. Manifested mainly as a reaction to the working stress (Kebza, Šolcová, 2004). This working stress may penetrate also into the overall quality of life (Křivohlavý, 2013). Frequent helper in the stages of burnout syndrome is drinking alcohol, which shows the effects of antidepressants, which can be progress to alcoholism in certain situations (Ühlinger, 2009).

Driving under the influence of alcohol in the general population
Kaprasová, Kateřina ; Štefunková, Michaela (advisor) ; Vopravil, Jiří (referee)
Je faktem, že alkohol je aktuálním a celosvětovým problémem. Statistiky nám ukazují, že asi čtvrtina úmrtí, se přisuzuje alkoholu za volantem. Proto se ve své výzkumné práci zabývám problematikou řízení motorového vozidla pod vlivem alkoholu u obecné populace. Zajímají mě důvody, které vedou řidiče k usednutí za volant a profil rizikového řidiče. V práci píši o účincích alkoholu na člověka a psychologických aspektech. Popisuji také možnosti prevence v dopravě a zároveň informuji o aktuálních statistikách nehodovosti v ČR pro rok 2011 a 2012.Cílem práce je zjistit všeobecnou rozšířenost řízení pod vlivem alkoholu mezi českými řidiči. Dále sestavit profil rizikového řidiče a důvody, které řidiče k řízení pod vlivem alkoholu vedou. Moje první hypotéza je, že muži řídí pod vlivem alkoholu častěji než ženy. Druhá hypotéza je, že mladší řidiči budou řídit častěji. A poslední hypotézou si chci ověřit, jestli řidiči s nižším vzděláním, budou řídit pod vlivem alkoholu častěji. Metodou výzkumu jsem zvolila dotazník o uzavřených a otevřených otázkách. Dotazník byl předán respondentům v písemné formě elektronickou cestou, ale i osobně. K dotazníku jsem přikládala průvodní dopis, který respondenty informoval o cíli výzkumu a anonymitě šetření. Výzkumného šetření se zúčastnilo celkem 114 respondentů. Z toho 70...

Soil organic matter dynamics at reclaimed and unreclaimed post-mining sites
Bartuška, Martin ; Frouz, Jan (advisor) ; Borůvka, Luboš (referee) ; Vopravil, Jan (referee)
Soil organic matter dynamics at reclaimed and unreclaimed post-mining sites The subject of this thesis is to explore soil organic matter sequestration in post-mining soils and its relation to other ecosystem properties. The results of this study are summarized in four manuscripts, which have either been published or submitted for publication in international journals. On freshly mined-out overburden measurements of respiration revealed that the deep microflora community may substantially contribute to the microbial community in soil heaps, especially during early stages of succession and such influence early stages of pedogenesis. Microscopic observations also indicated massive breakdown of the sediment implying decomposition of fossil organic matter. For study of accumulation of soil organic matter, associated changes and interactions between chemical and biological soil properties over time, data from sets of plots of known different age(chronosequence) amended by data from repeated measurement after an extended period, allowed us to observe actual changes in soil chemistry, the carbon stock and soil properties. By this combination of these methods two separate studies were conducted at post-mining sites near the town of Sokolov in the Czech Republic (1999 and 2010). Soil pH decreased with site...

Estimation of illegal drug consumption in Kazakhstan
Ayapbekova, Dinara ; Vopravil, Jiří (advisor) ; Radimecký, Josef (referee)
Background: The republic of Kazakhstan is located on the "Northern Route" by which opiates are smuggled from Afghanistan to the Russian Federation and further into the European Union. For this reason, the state is under constant high risk of the drugs leaking to the local market, leading to drug abuse and related issues within the population. The drug situation in Kazakhstan is further complicated by the internal factor of the Chuy Valley which features the largest area of wild- growing cannabis in the world. The aim of this thesis is to estimate the consumption of cannabis-derived drugs and heroin in Kazakhstan based on the latest national and international reports and research. In terms of research, the thesis examines which organisations collect statistical information on users of illegal drugs and what methods are used to do so. Methods: the data analysis consisted of a secondary analysis of existing collected data through quantitative descriptive statistics and a qualitative analysis of individual international and national reports. Drug consumption was estimated based on demand. Results: According to estimates, there were 127,800 problem drug users in Kazakhstan in 2014; the total volume of consumed heroin was estimated to more than 46 tonnes. The estimated consumption of cannabis drugs in...

Objective: The aim of the research is to find out the needs of clients in the area of housing at selected after-treatment centers. Identify whether these needs are met and whether clients' success in aftercare programs is not affected by unmet housing needs. Methodology: The theoretical and practical part of the thesis delimits the research findings. The theoretical part deals with aftercare services with aftercare program and the effect of relapse and relapse in aftercare for addiction.The practical part defines the area of research and with the use of quantitative methods of research comes up with statistical data, which are subsequently interpreted. Results: 7 residential facilities with a capacity of 85 beds participated in the research. The research sample consisted of 76 respondents. The research sample found that a significant proportion of clients did not meet the housing needs and in 44,7 % would use the sociohealth services only for housing. In the research...
