A new life for the factory = a new life for Portlaw
Galusková, Hana ; Plášil, Jiří (referee) ; Boháč, Ivo (advisor)
Master´s thesis describes the revitalization of a former cotton factory site and later tannery. The abandoned factory building, the chimney, the former engine room, the canal, and other secondary buildings are uncontrollably absorbed by nature. The place has an exceptional charm thanks to the contrast of raw materials and the amount of greenery, but the lack of maintenance of individual structures shortens their lifespan. The main idea of the design is the conservation of the preserved objects of the factory, support of historical values, and preservation of nature in a man-made space. The proposal describes the creation of a multi-purpose area that creates employment opportunities, a form of recreation and public space for the residents of Portlaw, as well as an attraction within the region and for tourism. The functional content is a botanical garden with an exterior and interior part, a public space with a market, small spaces for rent, a food court, accommodation, and areas with hydroponics. Each functional unit works independently, and at the same time, complements each other - grown products from hydroponics are sold at the market, visitors to the botanical garden use accommodation, and people who rent spaces visit the food court. The goal was to bring new life to the factory and thus revive the town of Portlaw. The functional content of the entire area uplifts the history as well as the current state of the place.

Psychosocial Support for Healthcare Workers and the Latest Development in this Field
FRANCŮ, Alena
This bachelor's thesis focuses on the psychosocial stress experienced by healthcare professionals, with the aim of identifying the types of psychosocial support utilized or potentially sought by these professionals. The objective of the thesis is to describe and assess the offer of psychosocial support in the South Bohemian Region, while also delineating its recent development. In the theoretical part, we identify and describe forms of psychosocial stress experienced by healthcare professionals in their practice. We also focus on the mental hygiene practices adopted by healthcare professionals and the spectrum of psychosocial support used by healthcare professionals in the Czech Republic. Additionally, we provide an overview of recent advancements in this area. The empirical segment of the thesis is dedicated to qualitative research. Semi- structured interviews consisting of 23 predefined inquiries were used for data collection. These inquiries encompass basic information about the respondents, description of psychosocial stress experienced by healthcare professionals, and evaluations of the provision and development of psychosocial support. Supplementary questions were asked when necessary to facilitate a comprehensive understanding of the respondents' perspectives. The sample comprises nine healthcare professionals - two paramedics, two paediatric nurses, three general nurses (university or higher vocational school graduates) and two nurse practitioners (nurses with a secondary level of education). The interviews were then analysed using a paper-and-pencil approach, employing the text colouring method. The research findings are divided into several categories and subcategories. They confirm that almost all the respondents experience excessive stress in their healthcare profession. In their responses, the respondents reported burnout syndrome, workplace bullying, excessive stress, and conflicts within the team. Furthermore, the research findings on stress management, encompassing mental hygiene practices and psychosocial support, underscore that each healthcare professional preferers different forms of psychosocial support. Regarding the accessibility of psychosocial support within and beyond their workplace environments, respondents showed limited awareness of available options. Opinions regarding the evolution of psychosocial support within the Czech Republic were diverse, with some noting improvements consequent to the establishment of the Psychosocial Intervention Service System, while others did not. Nonetheless, all respondents agreed on the significance of this topic and suggested that it should be given more attention. The findings of this thesis should contribute to raising awareness regarding the possibilities of using psychosocial support by healthcare professionals.

The Impact of Cashless Payment Trend on Banks and its Clients
FISCHEROVÁ, Tereza
The first part of the bachelor thesis describes the development of the payment system from the beginning of money to modern payment methods. The theoretical part discusses in detail the advantages, disadvantages and different methods of cash and non-cash payment. The aim of the practical part of the thesis is to find out how clients of the selected bank ČSOB, a. s. react to the changes introduced by the bank in connection with the payment system, whether they agree with them or, on the contrary, whether these changes may cause dissatisfaction of clients and subsequent switch to a competing commercial bank. In the event that customer churn does occur, the objective is to determine whether the bank's operational cost savings offset the lost profits from the loss of customers. The most significant changes in the banking market are the closure of branches, the promotion of online banking and the increase in the price of services that require the presence of bankers. To address the bachelor thesis, a comparison of a questionnaire distributed to clients of ČSOB, a. s. with the bank's annual reports in the period 2012-2022 was used. The practical part resulted in the finding that even though clients accept the banking changes in majority, the bank is not able to reduce operating costs. The most important ones should be staff costs and branch operations.

IT/IS support of internal processes of the Faculty of Science
PEVNÁ, Daniela
In this thesis, an analysis was conducted to identify faculty business processes that should be supported by IT resources. Three key areas of the Faculty of Science were selected. The first area is the request process for the maintenance department. To support the process, an application was created in the Microsoft Power Platform environment to enter, delegate and manage requests for the maintenance department. The second area is the process of creating the thesis assignment reports. The implementation of the application also created in Power Platform has significantly reduced the time for approval of the assignment report by all involved by making the approval electronic. The application included the assignment form, data imported from the STAG API, a comprehensive approval flow and a script to export the data to PDF. The proposed solution for the central document sharing repository area was only partially implemented because, even after several modifications to the proposed solution, a match could not be found with the Microsoft 365 administrator within the university, from whom interaction was required. The optimization in the maintenance department resulted in easing the administrative burden on the maintenance members, improving the maintenance members' overview of the repairs performed and tasks reassigned. It has also brought better information on the progress of repairs for the repair contractors. The digitisation of the assignment logs is now in Beta testing due to several changes to the assignment and no conclusions can be drawn regarding efficiency gains.
